Sefir - Prince of Ange - Sun End

Chapter 7 - Throbbing Heart

That night... After I returned to my room, I was looking at the starry sky outside the window. 

Sefir: Pardon the intrusion. 

At that moment, Sefir-san visited the room. 

(Sefir-san...) 

As I was relieved that I was still wearing the dress, I let Sefir-san in. 

Sefir: Thank you very much for today. You were very good at dancing. 

MC: Really? That's good. 

Sefir: Also... You were very beautiful. 

(If he says something like that...) 

MC: ...Thank you very much for telling me that. 

When I said that while holding back my heart that was tightening, Sefir-san smiled gently. 

Sefir: No, I should be thanking you. Thanks to you, the kingdom's guests seem to be satisfied. From the bottom of my heart... You have my deepest gratitude. 

Sefir-san gently placed his fingers on my hand. When that warmth made my heartbeat fast, I closed my eyes tight. 

-Flashback-

Sefir: Dancing with you gives me so much joy from the bottom of my heart.

-Flashback-

(I want to hear something like that.) 

As my heart that was throbbing from those words have settled down, I couldn't do anything, but take in the sweet sensation... 

Chapter 8 - Sudden Confession

The next day at noon of the alliance revival festival... The ceremony ended peacefully. During this occasion, there has been some serious conversations about relying on the Earth Kingdom*. 

T/N: Dion's kingdom

(That's good...) 

Taking a break, we went to observe the festival in town. While walking in the market, Sefir-san became surrounded by a lot of people. 

Child: Sefir-sama, have a flower. 

A small girl handed a flower to Sefir-san. 

Sefir: It's beautiful. Thank you. 

After he crouched down and accepted the flower, Sefir-san returned a gentle smile. Although, I couldn't help, but notice how stiff that smile looked a little. 

Townsperson 1: If it's all right, how about you stay for a song? 

A single man said that from the plaza that we were heading to. As the band was performing in the plaza, people were happily dancing. When I slowly looked up at Sefir-san, his face turned pale again as he still had a smile on. 

-Flashback-

Sefir: ...When I'm being loved, I put on a mask.

-Flashback-

(That's not true.) 

Sefir: It's a rare chance, but... 

Just as Sefir-san was about to refuse, I immediately placed my hand on his arm. 

Sefir: MC-sama...? 

MC: I would like to dance with you. You invited after all. I want to do the dance that I've learned so much about. 

Sefir: ...Then, just one song. 

With his face still pale, Sefir-san smiled. While all the townspeople were enjoying themselves, the waltz that we've practiced to fro the ball started playing. 

MC: It's kind of a fun arrangement. 

The tempo of the waltz song that had a cheerful arrangement steadily became faster. 

(So fast...! My feet might get tangled.) 

After the song ended, everyone fell to the ground with smiles. 

MC: That was fun. 

When Sefir-san got down on the ground with one knee next to me, he happily smiled. 

Sefir: ...It really was. 

When Sefir-san's face was no longer pale as he said that, I became relieved. 

Townsperson 1: Prince Sefir! That was really fun!

Townsperson 2: It's thanks to Prince Sefir's efforts that you put into this festival these past 14 years!

Townsperson 3: We all love this kingdom and Prince Sefir!

Sefir: ... 

MC: ...I don't think everyone in town are looking at your mask. If that were the case... Everyone wouldn't be smiling like this. Even I like you when you're like this. 

Sefir: ...MC-sama. 

Sefir-san's cheeks turned slightly red when I said that. 

MC: U-Um, what I meant was-

When I thought back to what I just said without thinking, I blinked. 

Sefir: MC-sama. 

As he was looking at me in the eye, Sefir-san slowly smiled. 

Sefir: You're so admirable. Even though the song is over... These feelings won't disappear. 

While the townspeople were watching, Sefir-san kneeled in front of me. 

Sefir: Please... Won't you allow me to feel this way? Princess MC. 

At that moment, all the noise in the plaza became distant... 

MC: Yes... 

I answered him before I knew it. With the townspeople watching, Sefir-san hugged me. 

Townsperson 1: What a joyous occasion! Our Prince Sefir has found true love!

When the townspeople congratulated us all at once, the band started playing a beautiful song. 

Sefir: W-Wait, everyone... 

When a champagne glass was put in Sefir-san's hand just as he was about to say something, he smiled troubledly. 

(Sefir-san is smiling. That's good...) 

In the plaza underneath the warm and bright sun... I couldn't become anymore happier as I looked at the side of Sefir-san's face... 

Chapter 9 - An Angel's Kiss

That night... When we returned to the castle, Sefir-san and I had our shoulders placed next to each other by the window. 

(That was fun...) 

Sefir: MC-sama...

As he softly held my shoulder, he whispered in my ear. 

Sefir: That was the first time I've smiled from the bottom of my heart in front of the people. It's because you accepted me the way I am. 

MC: No, that's...

While smiling, I couldn't bring myself to look away from that gentle gaze. 

Sefir: I'm glad that I've met you... 

When those eyes slowly got closer... I slowly closed my eyes.

(Me... too...) 

Just as Sefir-san's lips stopped those words, a sweet numbness took over deep within my heart... 

Last Chapter - The Prince of Dreams

While I was in Sefir-san's arms... When I slowly opened my eyes, I could hear the dance music from outside the window. 

(That waltz... The festival is still ongoing outside.) 

When I thought of that in a daze, Sefir-san pulled me towards him by the waist as he was lightly sitting down by the window. 

Sefir: Do you like this song? 

MC: Yes... It gives me that feeling I had when I was dancing with you. When I'm with you, I feel like a princess in a fairytale. 

When I smiled, Sefir-san smiled troubledly. 

sefir: In a fairytale... you say.

MC: Yes. You're just like the prince that I've imagined. It makes me feel like I'm dreaming. 

Sefir: That's... It's probably because I become the prince that everyone hopes for. Never showing a single shred of gloom... 

MC: No. Even a fairytale prince would feel troubled and pained by everyone. 

As I smiled, Sefir-san hugged me strongly. 

When he gently placed a kiss on my forehead, he picked me up by the waist. 

Sefir: Your words... always make me happy. I'm the happiest man in the world when you're around. Even when this song is over... Won't you stay by my side? 

I returned a light nod towards those words. Then, Sefir-san lifted my chin with his fingers... 

Sefir: MC...

He slowly snatched my lips away... As his tongue penetrated my lips, his fingers slowly caressed my hair. 

(My heart still isn't ready...) 

Just as I reached out to resist him, Sefir-san's long fingers stopped that hand. 

(Why can't I go against this person?) 

As my hand was losing strength, Sefir-san traced my nape with his fingers. 

MC: Mm... 

Without giving me a moment to be embarrassed about the voice I let out, I became unable to breathe during the deep kiss. 

Sefir: Promise me that you won't go off somewhere. If you do, I'll...

As I was unable to respond, he untied the ribbon on my chest. 

MC: Sefir-san... 

When he placed a kiss on my hands that were placed against his chest, my fingers obediently obeyed Seifr-san. 

(Why can't I go against him...) 

Sefir: I don't want to hand you over to anyone. 

When his elegant fingers removed my clothes, my bare skin became exposed underneath the bright stars. 

MC: ...

Just as I turned away in embarrassment, Sefir-san's fingers lifted up my hair and placed his lips on the back of my neck. 

Sefir: I... love you. 

Those words echoed deep within my heart... I felt my own body easing up from the tense nervousness that took over me... 

Sefir: MC... 

Sefir-san placed a very gentle kiss against my eyelids. When I felt the warmth of those lips, I felt myself being picked up lightly. 

MC: Sefir-san...? 

Just as I felt the soft bed against my body, I opened my eyes. As Sefir-san was looking at me as if I was treasure, my heart throbbed sweetly. 

Sefir: Stay by my side, forever... 

He gently placed his lips against my nape. 

MC: Sefir... -san... 

As he slowly made my knees spread out, Sefir-san's fingers gently stroked up my thigh. Then, when I closed my eyes... 

(I love you...) 

I gently hugged the person that has pure white wings and is kinder than anyone else. Only the bright stars in the sky were watching us...
