Rolf - Prince of Lotria - Moon End

Chapter 5 - Before Receiving the Royal Emblem

(So bright...) 

From behind the door, a pale light came out... 

Once our eyes got used to the light, there was a single flower in bloom.

(It looks like... a blue lily...) 

As the sunlight was shining on the flower, it made it look like it was emitting a light. 

Rolf: This is... The castle's flower... 

Rolf-kun walked towards the flower. 

MC: The castle's? 

Rolf: Yes... It became the royal emblem... because it's a flower that only blooms in this kingdom. Only the heir to the throne knows where it blooms...

MC: The royal emblem... Proof of being the heir to the throne... 

Rolf-kun affectionately touched the flower. 

(That's good... It has been done peacefully...) 

Although, Rolf-kun pulled his hand away from the flower. On his cheek, tears were falling. 

MC: Rolf-kun, what's wrong? 

Rolf: MC-chan... I can't do it... 

MC: Why...? 

Rolf: Since this flower doesn't bloom anywhere else... Picking it would be... 

As tears were going down Rolf-kun's cheeks, the blue flower petals softly swayed. 

Last Chapter - That Kindness in His Heart

Rolf-kun was letting out teras in front of the flower. Then, I felt a cool breeze flowing from within. 

MC: Rolf-kun... Isn't that the exit? 

Rolf: ......

MC: Let's head back, Rolf-kun. 

Rolf: But... 

MC: I'm sure that the king will understand if you explain to him honestly. 

I gently touched his shoulder that was trembling a little. 

MC: Okay? 

Rolf: Okay... 

When we arrived at the castle without saying anything, Rolf-kun and I had an audience with the king. 

King: Rolf, what happened with the royal emblem? 

Rolf-kun's shoulders trembled from the king's deep tone. 

(You can do it, Rolf-kun.) 

I tightly gripped Rolf-kun's hand. He nodded at me as he held back his tears. 

Rolf: I-I found the flower, but... I didn't bring it back. 

King: Why? 

Rolf: ...I felt sorry for it... if I picked it... 

Rolf-kun's tone gradually turned teary in the end. Although... 

King: I see... 

The king made a satisfied smile. 

Queen: Rolf, that's good enough. It's really nice of you for being kind to the flower. 

Rolf: Thank you... very much. 

(What a relief...) 

After we bowed to the king and queen, we left. 

As we were returning to our room... In the hallway, we walked by two guards. The guards bowed to us while passing by. 

(...?) 

It felt like they were looking at Rolf-kun kindly... 

...

The two guards went to the king and reported to him about what happened in the cavern. 

King: Good work for keeping an eye on them. 

Guard 1: Rolf-sama did well. 

Guard 2: The moment when he hit a wall, I couldn't help, but break into a cold sweat... 

Guard 1: Feeling sorry for the flower is just like Rolf-sama... He's a kind prince that everyone in the castle likes. 

The king made a gentle look from that report... 

... 

When we returned to the room, we sighed in relief.

Rolf: ...Are you... okay? 

When Rolf-kun turned towards me, he gave me a worried look. 

MC: Yeah, it's thanks to you, Rolf-kun! You did well!

Rolf: I see... 

MC: Also, the king was smiling. 

Rolf: MC-chan... 

Rolf-kun looked at me as his eyes were trembling. Then, his eyes were swelling up with tears in them... 

Rolf: ...!

MC: Rolf-kun? 

He hugged me tightly and began to cry softly. 

Rolf: MC-chan... I'm so happy...

MC: Of course. You found the royal emblem after all. If it weren't for you, we wouldn't have been able to find it. 

I stroked Rolf-kun's back and whispered that to him. He shook his head as if he was telling me that I was wrong. 

Rolf: It's because you were there... 

MC: I didn't do anything... 

Rolf: That's... not true... It's because... you've been encouraging me this whole time... 

Rolf-kun slowly lets go of me. Then... 

Rolf: Um... Isn't this... what you do to people you like...? 

MC: Eh...? 

After saying that, Rolf-kun stood on his tiptoes and... 

MC: ...!

He placed a soft kiss on my cheek. When I looked back at him, his face was slightly blushing with a smile. 

Rolf: As thanks... and as my feelings... 

As he was smiling, a single tear fell from his eyes again. That tear shined like a star...
