Totori - Prince of Torial - Main Story

Chapter 1 - Standing Out Together

Kingdom of Jewels, Torial, September...

During the early afternoon, it was filled with fine weather. When I got invited to Torial, the prince of that kingdom, Totori-san, took me out to the town area. 

Totori: This is the town center of Torial, Citrian plaza. 

MC: It's such a nice lively town... Thank you for showing me around. 

Totori: No, inviting you is such a rare chance. So, let's take our time and enjoy ourselves. 

Totori-san's smile was like a soft gentle breeze. From time to time whenever Totori-san pulled my hand, he showed me around town at ease with a casual earnest gaze and movements. 

(Totori-san is so mature...) 

I was getting a ticklish feeling from how he was treating me like a princess like a perfect escort. 

(But, I'm curious about the gazes from earlier...) 

While feeling the gazes from earlier, I heard people's voices. 

Townsperson 1: My, Totori-sama is escorting a girl...!

Townsperson 2: Not only that, but it seems like he's escorting the Traumerei Princess. 

Totori: ......

Totori-san noticed that I was looking down due to the people's gazes. Then, he turned towards the townspeople that were gossiping and slightly bowed at them with a smile. 

Townsperson 1: ...!

When the townsperson turned red, she took her friend and left soon after. 

Totori: It looks like we're the center of attention in the public eye. Isn't it because you're so cute? 

Totori-san looked at me as he chuckled. Within the close distance, my heart skipped a beat again. 

Totori: Now then, let me take you to the terrace over there to rest for a bit. 

I sighed in relief from being free of the people's gazes, but... My heartbeat wouldn't calm down from his golden eyes that were shining beautifully... 

Chapter 2 - Their Relationship

With Totori-san escorting me, we arrived at a café and took a seat at the terrace. When the tea and cookies that he ordered a while ago arrived, we could finally take a break. 

Totori: It's quite obvious that the townspeople would be curious about the Traumerei Princess and the prince of this kingdom. My apologies. I should've taken in some more consideration about that. 

When he smiled brightly while apologizing, I shook my head. 

MC: Do you usually go out into town like this? 

Totori: No, it's just a nice chance to talk and meet with people. 

(Then, I wonder why he seemed curious about the people from earlier...) 

 While thinking that it was strange, his fingers reached out towards me as he looked at me with a smile. 

Totori: Your mouth. 

MC: Eh...? 

Totori: You got come cookie crumbs there. 

MC: Ah... 

Totori-san softly wiped my mouth with his finger. 

(I did something so childish, how embarrassing... But, do I still look like a child to Totori-san?) 

Within the calming atmosphere, the difference of months and years between us felt a little bit tantalizing. 

Totori: Fufufu, it feels like I have gained another long-lost sister. 

MC: ...A sister? 

Totori: Yes, I have a twin sister. She's in confinement, so I haven't gone out to town with a woman like this before. 

MC: I see... 

(So, that's why he was acting strange with that woman. A sister... huh...) 

Those words made me feel sad for some reason. As I was tilting the same teacup, Totori-san quietly looked at me from beneath his long eyelashes. 

Totori: MC-san? 

(A nice mature smile... Somehow, being with Totori-san feels calming. It's like my heart is being enveloped by this person's presence...) 

At that moment... 

Guard: Your Majesty, it seems like His Highness is over here. 

When someone approached the terrace from the alley, I immediately straightened up my posture. 

King: Oh, so this is where you were, Totori. 

Totori: Father, why are you here? 

King: I wanted to talk about the marriage interview the other day, but... 

When the king's eyes stopped at me, he gently smiled. 

King: I never thought that you would be escorting a woman... Seems like there's no need for me to worry about you getting a wife soon. 

When the king suddenly said that, I...

///Choices///

- Wife...? (☼)

MC: Wife...? 

Just as I became the center of attention, Totori-san suddenly got up. 

Totori: Father... You're troubling MC-san by talking about that sort of thing so suddenly. 

- No, I'm... (☽)

MC: No, I'm... 

King: What, was I wrong? 

Totori: Father!

Totori-san unexpectedly shouted. 

Totori: Since MC-san has awakened me, I invited her to Torial as thanks. 

///Choices///

Totori: It's not what you think, I don't have any kind of relationship with her. 

MC: ......

Towards the words of denial that conflicts with the gentle atmosphere... 

(So, Totori-san thinks of me more like a sister than a woman?) 

When I thought of that, my heart felt even more pain than before... 

Chapter 3 - Feelings Getting Stronger

The next day, in the room that was provided for me, I was with a maid to choose a dress to wear for this weekend's banquet. Although... 

-Flashback-

Totori: It's not what you think, I don't have any kind of relationship with her. 

-Flashback-

When I remembered what happened yesterday, my hands stopped from choosing a dress. 

(How can I become a woman that's suitable for a mature person like Totori-san...) 

Maid: Princess MC, how about this dress? 

MC: ...This red dress? 

The dress that was recommended to me was a bright scarlet dress that was revealing around the chest area. 

(This feels a little too flashy.) 

Just as I was perplexed by the dress that I haven't worn myself in front of me... 

Totori: Excuse me, may I come in? 

MC: ...Yes. 

When I opened the door, Totori-san was standing there with a pure white lily bouquet in his hand. 

MC: Those flowers are? 

Totori: I thought that decorating the room would calm your mind, so I received these flowers from the gardener. 

MC: How nice... Thank you so much. 

When I accepted the bouquet, I inhaled the sweet scent of the flowers. As Totori-san looked at me with a smile, he saw the red dress that was laid out on top of the table. 

Totori: Are you choosing a dress for the banquet? 

MC: Yes. But, I haven't decided yet... 

As he looked at the red dress that obviously didn't suit me, he furrowed his brow. 

Totori: In that case, let me choose a suitable dress for you. 

Towards that unexpected proposal, I...

///Choices///

- Please do (☼)

(Totori-san will for me...) 

A ticklish happy feeling was spreading within my heart. 

MC: ...Please do. 

Totori: Okay, I'll choose the best one for someone cute ilke you. Aside from the red dress, it should be one with a more soothing design that'll suit you. 

- Won't that be a bother? (☽)

MC: But, won't that be a bother? 

I didn't want to cause him any trouble and took two steps. 

Totori: If it'll make you smile, then that's fine. 

MC: Smile... Me? 

As I was in a daze, my gaze met with his bright eyes that had a gentle look in them. 

Totori: If you're going to wear something... It should be something other than this red one... 

///Choices///

From among the various kinds of dresses, Totori-san chose a set of garments. 

Totori: How about this? You'd look nice if you use the lily like this. 

Totori-san placed an elegant light pink dress against my shoulder. Then, he pulled out a few lily flowers from me and used them to decorate the chest area as if they were an accessory. 

Totori: Hey, this one will look better on you, it looks gorgeous. 

MC: Pretty... I look completely different than usual. 

In front of the mirror, I said that when I saw how mature I looked. 

Totori: I'm glad that you like it. 

When he looked at me with a gentle smile, my heart skipped a beat. 

Totori: Now then, if you'll excuse me. 

When Totori-san turned around, he left the room. 

MC: Ah... 

(I still need to thank him properly...!) 

MC: Um, Totori-sa-!

Just as I took a step forward... My heel trampled on the hem of the dress and my body was about to fall. 

(...!) 

Totori: MC-san!

When Totori-san turned around and ran over, he immediately held up my body. 

Totori: That was close. 

///Choices///

- Say thanks (☼)

MC: T-Thank you... 

Totori: It was nothing, I'll choose some shoes for this weekend too. Ones that'll suit you the most... 

MC: ...

I felt my cheeks becoming hot from his gentlemanly words. 

- Become embarrassed and look down (☽)

With his arms around my waist, I looked down when I became strangely aware of the distance between us. 

Totori: MC-san, are you okay? The hem of this dress must be too long, we should get this altered a little. Those shoes too, I'll prepare some that'll be more suitable for you this weekend. 

///Choices///

He had his index finger on his soft lips as he smiled. 

MC: Totori-san... 

Totori: So, please wait and look forward to this weekend, okay? 

After saying that, Totori-san quietly left the room like when he came in. 

(But, this weekend is...) 

The banquet was the last day that I'll be staying here... The next day, I'll be leaving Torial. With an indescribable feeling, I tightly clenched my chest... 

Chapter 4 - Confession and...

When the fun days went by in just a blink of an eye... Tonight was the banquet. With classical music playing in the hall, it was overflowing with upper class gentlemen and their wives. 

(Where's Totori-san...?) 

After choosing a dress, he gave me some light pink loafers as a present the next day. The shoes weren't too childish nor too mature and right now, they suited me perfectly. 

King: ... 

When the king entered my vision, he looked at me and pointed towards the outside of the window that leads to the courtyard. 

(What is it? I should probably go see...) 

When I opened the heavy glass door, I went to the courtyard that was filled with the nightly air... 

Totori: MC-san? 

As the nightly breeze made the courtyard trees tremble and Totori-san's hair flutter, our gazes entwined with each other within the moonlight. 

MC: Totori-san... 

His nice smile shrouded my heart with gentleness as usual... But, this might be the last night that I'll be seeing that smile.

(...I.) 

Before I knew it, I realized that my own feelings have changed as I became charmed by him. 

(I want to tell him how I feel...) 

When I thought of that, I was hesitating strongly as I tried to move, so I just stared at him. 

Totori: ...What's wrong? 

MC: ...

Totori: Please, talk to me. It's your last night here after all. 

(The last... If I use this chance to escape, I might not be able to talk with him again...) 

With his words backing me up, I...

///Choices///

- Notice my feelings (☽)

As the wind made the tree branches shake within the darkness, I spoke. 

MC: Totori-san... Won't you notice my feelings? 

Totori: Yours...? 

MC: ...You probably see me as a little sister, but... 

With a bewildered look in his eyes, Totori-san smiled. 

Totori: MC-san... 

He continued making his usual smile silently. 

- I, you... (☼)

MC: Totori-san... I, you... 

As I spoke shakingly, I looked straight at him... 

MC: ...

Totori: ... 

Silence enveloped the night. After a while... 

Totori: What you're about to say, you shouldn't say them now. 

MC: Eh...? 

///Choices///

I stood still as I stared at him. 

Totori: ...My apologies, MC-san. 

As his voice got drowned out by the wind, it softly reached my ears. 

MC: ...

A piercing pain ran through my chest. 

MC: I'm sorry... I... Please excuse me!

Totori: MC-san!? 

Unable to endure standing there, I bowed to him and ran off. 

Once I've arrived in my bedroom, I threw my body down onto the bed. 

(...Totori-san.) 

While bearing the pain in my heart, I was unable to sleep that night...
