Raven - Prince of Rivelta - Moon End

Chapter 6 - Alive...

That night... 

(What should I do...) 

As I looked outside the window, I was going through my thoughts by myself. 

(I can't just tell him to just forget about the most important person to him. No meaning to his life just because "someone" isn't here... But... I want Raven-san to live. Am I just being selfish...?) 

When I sighed deeply, I remembered what Claudius-kun said... 

-Flashbacks-

Claudius: Once I become crown prince, there won't be any worries about the throne being empty...

-Flashbacks-

(Once Claudius-kun turns seven, he'll be given the rights as heir to the throne...?) 

Despite how wild that sounds, that's all I could think of. I clenched my fists as I looked out the window... 

Chapter 7 - The Requirements for Crying

The next day... 

(This is okay, right?) 

I looked up at the red-colored sky. When I heard the sound of footsteps nearby, I slowly closed my eyes. 

Raven: This was your doing, wasn't it? 

I took a deep breath to prepare myself. First thing in the morning, I made a request as the Traumerei Princess to have an audience with the king to talk about Raven-san and Claudius-kun. As a result, it has been decided that an heir to the throne will be recognized at age seven once there's a princess that he wants to get married to appears. 

MC: Yes... 

I turned around as I answered him. 

Raven: Explain. My father won't listen to my request about withdrawing it. 

With the sun setting, I couldn't see Raven-san's expression. 

Raven: Why... 

As his shoulders were trembling a little, he murmured that softly. 

Raven: I don't know what to do... I... I...! My only reason for living was for my brother until the day he turns seven! I was going to approve of it soon!

(Does he want to go where she is...?) 

With such sad thoughts in my head, tears were forming in my eyes. 

Raven: Please talk to my father once more and withdraw it. 

MC: ...I can't. 

I responded to him as I looked straight into his eyes. 

Raven: Then, you leave me no choice. 

The light in his eyes became dim. 

MC: ...!

The next moment, Raven-san lightly picked me up. 

MC: Raven-sa-

When I fell on top of the bed, his hand was on the buttons of my blouse. 

MC: No... 

I tried to resist his hand, but he grabbed me and pinned me against the sheets. 

Raven: Now, withdraw it. Right now, I have nothing else to lose. I didn't want to do this sort of thing... 

After unfastening the buttons one by one, his hand was on the ribbon around my neck. 

MC: N-No... 

Raven: I see. You're trembling... 

When he removed my blouse, his hand entered my skirt. 

(What should I do... But...!) 

MC: ...I can't withdraw it.

I said that shakily as i looked at him. 

MC: Going to where Ophelia-san is... Would she be happy if you did that? 

His fingers stopped when I said that. After sighing deeply, he slowly lets go of me. 

Raven: ...So, you knew... About Ophelia... 

MC: I'm sorry... 

As he was looking at me, there was an enchanting looking light coming from the color of the sunset outside the window. 

Raven: You're so kind. Yet, cruel. Is there any reason for me to live...? There's no meaning without Ophelia in this world... 

Teardrops fell from his eyes. 

(I... Was I wrong? Such despair...) 

There was something coming from him. Him having no reason to live made tears fell from my eyes... 

Last Chapter - Anything...

Raven: Is there any reason for me to live...? 

The listless sunlight casted a shadow on his cheek. 

(This is the first time... he has ever shown such a sad look.) 

As I looked into his lifeless eyes, tears came out one after another. 

(Raven-san... It seems like I was wrong. But... I can't apologize.) 

With his vacant eyes watching me, tears streamed down my cheeks. 

Raven: ...Why are you crying? 

His hand became wet when he gently wiped my overflowing tears away. 

MC: Don't just talk about dying... 

(I'm sorry...) 

In my mind, I was bowing to him repeatedly... To make up for what I said, I hugged him gently. 

MC: If there's anything that I can do, I'll do whatever it is... 

At that moment, the evening sunlight shined on him softly. 

Raven: Anything...? 

Then... There was the scent of that white flower lightly emitting in the wind. His mouth slowly turned into a smile... 

......

The next day... After the sun went down, night has arrived... 

(A tea party...) 

After a day has passed, Raven-san summoned me for a tea party. 

Raven: Welcome. 

Raven-san greeted me with a confident smile. 

Claudius: MC-sama, you're late. 

When I saw Claudius-kun in a chair already, I calmed down a little. 

Raven: Here. 

Raven-san pulled out a chair for me. 

MC: Eh... But... 

-Flashback-

Butler: How long are you going to leave that left side of yours empty for Ophelia? 

-Flashback-

Since the seat that Raven-san was leading me to was on his left, I became confused and stopped. 

Raven: What's wrong? 

Raven-san kindly smiled. 

MC: Um... 

Raven: Hurry. The tea will get cold. 

Despite my confusion, his demand made me sit in the seat that was prepared. Then, Raven-san began to pour the tea. 

(This scent is...) 

It was the scent of that white flower and for some reason, it took my breath away. 

Raven: Here you go. There are some scones and baguette sandwiches too, despite that it's before dinner. 

Raven-san made a really comforting smile as he ate a scone. I picked up a baguette sandwich that was recommended to me just now and smiled. 

Raven: It's delicious. 

(Raven-san saying that it's delicious...) 

Claudius: Brother, give me a scone too. 

Raven: Give me a scone please. Right? Since you haven't had dinner yet, you should probably stop. 

I became filled with comfort as I looked at the heartwarming scene before me. 

(That's good.) 

Raven-san's eyes were focused on me closely... 

......

Once the sun has set and the stars were up at night, we returned to my room to prepare for the dinner party. 

Raven: Now then, sit over here. 

When he pulled out a chair, I sat in it. 

MC: Um...? 

As I was feeling perplexed by his smile in the mirror, he began to brush my hair. 

Raven: Such beautiful hair... 

When he gently stroked my hair, he placed a kiss on my head. 

(What's with him all of a sudden?) 

Despite that I was feeling confused, I gave him a smile when he happily smiled at me. 

Raven: Here, this will make you even more beautiful. 

As I was looking forward, he gently took out a white flower from a vase. 

(That flower...) 

He softly placed it in my hair...

Raven: ...It looks really good on you. 

At that moment, a strong gust of wind blew in from the window. 

Raven: ... 

Because of the sound of the wind, I was unable to hear him clearly. The only thing that I saw was him mouthing, "Ophelia"...
