Raith - Prince of Telsot - Sun End

Raith - The Prince of Telsot - Sun End

Chapter 5 - The Evening Sunlight

The next day... When I thought about yesterday, I felt that I didn't have to worry about Raith-san... While I was spending time alone in my room.

Raith: May I? 

As the room was overflowing with the evening sunlight, Raith-san showed a smile. 

Raith: I just finished it. And since you saw something unsettling yesterday. 

In Raith-san's hand, he was carrying the painting of the sunlight that was shining brightly through the trees. 

(Even though it was troubling at that time, he was concerned about me...) 

When his feelings made me happy more than anything, I returned a smile to him. Just as he placed the painting on the wall at that moment... 

Raith's Brother: Princess. I want you to come with me. 

Suddenly, Raith-san's older brother entered the room. 

MC: Um...? 

Raith's Brother: Please pardon my rudeness. Even so, our kingdom is currently at a very crucial time where we have to choose a successor for the throne. The retainers have been clamoring how you, the Traumerei Princess, has been hanging out with Raith. I want you to stay with me, the first in line to succeed over the throne, for a while. 

After saying that, Raith-san's older brother grabbed my hand and left the room.

MC: Raith-san...!

While his older brother was pulling me, I looked back many times... 

Last Chapter - The Sunlight Shining Through the Trees Over His Shoulders

As his older brother was pulling me, I looked back many times.

(Raith-san...!) 

By the time we've arrived at the garden... 

Raith: Wait. 

While out of breath, Raith-san followed us with the violin in hand. 

Raith: Don't touch her. 

When he glanced towards Raith-san, he pulled my hand the next moment. 

Raith: I told you not to touch her!

Just as he said that deeply, Raith-san took my hand away from his brother's hand. 

Raith's Brother: How rude! You're just a useless person that's only hooked on paintings and music! At a time like this, you don't do anything to help with our kingdom's peace!

Raith-san hid me behind him to shield me from his brother's angry shouts. 

Raith's Brother: ...What's with that look? 

Raith: I don't care what you say about me. But, I won't forgive you for dragging MC into this. 

MC: ...!

Raith: I have shown beautiful things to her eyes. I've had her ears listen to beautiful sounds.

While Raith-san's back was blocking my vision, it looked so bright... 

Raith's Brother: What are you saying! Beautiful things? Beautiful sounds? How will something like that help? Princess MC would want to see an abundant kingdom more than something like that. 

-Flashback-

Raith: I... They all think of me as a useless prince. 

-Flashback-

When I remembered Raith-san's words, I've realized that I was holding his hand tightly. 

MC: By abundant... 

Raith's Brother: Eh? 

MC: Just what makes it abundant? 

-Flashback-

Raith: Wait for a bit. Everyone seems to be enjoying it, so just one more song. 

---

Raith: When I was taking an afternoon nap, the sunlight looked so beautiful as it was shining through the trees. 

-Flashback-

MC: I saw that Raith-san's music truly brings joy to the people. He made me realize how beautiful the sunlight looks as it shines through the trees for the first time. 

Raith's Brother: What are you saying-

MC: I think it's important to make a kingdom strongly abundant with military affairs and diplomacy. But... Raith-san's music and art makes people smile. They have made all kinds of people smile. Also, don't people live abundantly by being happy? 

Once I was done talking, a piercing silence was drifting throughout the area. 

Raith: MC... 

Raith's Brother: ...Excuse me. 

Then, after sighing deeply, his brother left. Raith-san gently touched my shoulder. 

(I...!) 

When I suddenly became embarrassed, I was about to turn my back towards him, but... 

(Huh...?) 

I noticed that Raith-san was trembling. 

MC: Raith-san...?

Raith: ... 

When Raith-san turned his back on me, he held his own shoulders. Seeing him like that in front of me, I hugged him in my arms by instinct. 

Raith: ...Thank you. Do you think everyone can become abundant with the arts? 

He asked that shakily. 

MC: Yes... I'm sure of it.

When I responded, Raith-san slowly turned towards me and smiled. 

Raith: It's thanks to you that I was able to gain courage. I may be bad with military affairs and diplomacy. But, because of what you said... I want to try doing it. I can't bear the thought of you being taken away for such a pathetic reason. 

MC: Raith-san... 

A soft breeze made Raith-san's hair lightly flutter. 

Raith: MC... 

He touched my lips with his thumb... 

Raith: These beautiful lips... They continue to say such beautiful words. I want to continue to satisfy you with beautiful things. 

Without giving me a moment to close my eyes... He snatched my lips away like the wind. 

MC: ...

Raith-san hugged me tightly. 

Raith: MC... 

The sunlight that was shining through the trees flickered brightly over his shoulders. As it felt like I was being imprisoned by the beauty of that sight, I slowly closed my eyes...
