Might
Your Majesty, please excuse me.
Werne
Might... I was waiting!
The minute Might entered the room, Werne entrusted his body to him.
As if he was responding, Might embraced Werne's body tightly again, and exchanged
kisses.
Might
Your Majesty...
Werne
I wanted to do this even one second sooner...
As he murmured things like that, Might embraced Werne more powerfully. More
powerfully than normal. As if he was confirming the feeling of his skin.
Might
...
Werne
What's wrong, Might...? For some reason you have a long face, do you feel
bad?
He read sadness in Might's eyes, and Werne's body stiffened momentarily.
Might
No... It's nothing...
He averted his gaze and negated Werne's question.
Werne
That would be good, but... When I see you without energy, it makes me feel
dispirited.
Might
I'm sorry for worrying you, Your Majesty...
Werne
Hey, Might! How many times have I told you, when it's just us stop calling
me Your Majesty.
Werne
That's right... Next time, if you call me Your Majesty again I'll punish
you, and demote you to my servant. And then, even though I don't want to
do that, we'll have more time together.
Might
That's true... Werne... From now on, I'll pay attention to your needs.
Might unintentionally leaked a smile at Werne's innocent expression.
Werne
Huhuu. Yes, that's good. When I'm in front of you I'm just Werne...
Might
Yes, Werne...
But, Might's heart was decided. After tonight, he would draw away from Werne'
s side...
Might
...
Werne
...
They became silent at the same time and their eyes met.
Werne
Might...
Might
Werne...
When they called each other's names, they pressed their lips together again
and pulled each other.
Werne
Might... I love you...
Might
Me too, Werne...
Might took off his clothes and caressed Werne.
When his clothes were taken off, Werne gently laid down on the bed.
Werne
Uh, nn...
Might's fingers caressed Werne's body affectionately as he was tinged with
heat.
Werne
Ah, aaah...
As if he was responding, Werne also entwined his legs around Might's waist,
his swelling demanding pleasure personally.
Werne
Nn... kuh, nn...
Finally, his fingers stroked down his chest to his lower regions, and Werne's
valley was slowly traced.
Werne
Haah... Mi, Might... I'm too, impatient... na...
Might
It's all right...?
Werne
Ah, aah...
When Werne's body was opened, Might slowly climbed on top of him.
Werne
Aah, Might... Ahu...
As he felt Might entering inside himself, Werne raised his voice.
Might
Werne... I'm going...
Gently, and then Might held Werne's body roughly. He ascertained all those
sensations one by one...
Werne
Haah... Mi, Might... Ah, aah!!
Werne reacted sensitively to Might's movements.
Werne
Ukuh... Today... you're more intense than usual... aren't you...
Might
Does it... hurt?
When he gently stopped moving, Might asked closed to Werne's ear.
Werne
No... I can feel you more... So...
Might
Well then...
Werne
Tsu, kuh...
At Werne's words, Might began moving quickly again.
Werne
Ah, aah, haah... Mi, Might!
Might
Kuh, aah...
Aiming to heat up each other, Might pressed his erection roughly into Werne.
Might
Werne... I, I'm! ...Soon...!!
Werne
Haah, haaah... Might! Nnn... Aaaaah~!
They cried together, ending at the same time, and the two lied on the bed
for a little while. They seemed to be confirming the remaining traces of
pleasure...
Werne
Might... I'm happy... Being close to you...
Might
...
Werne's eyes watched Might, overflowing with trust.
If it was before, he would return a smile at that look-.
But, now Werne's sincere look only caused Might to feel unbearable pain.
Might pretended to roll over facing away from Werne and go to sleep...
The next morning...
The veil of darkness lifted, and the light of the morning sun shone into
the room.
Might
...
As he was dyed by the light of the morning sun, Might waited for the lord
he served to wake up beside him.
Werne
...Nn...
Turning over in the bed, Werne slightly opened his eyes. When he was assured,
Might had a gentle smile.
Might
Good morning, Werne.
He wanted to at least say farewell with a smile - Because of his feelings.
Werne
...Might, you didn't sleep?
Might
Yes... I watched your sleeping face all night.
Werne
Huhuu, I see... I feel a little shy.
Werne
But, when I sleep I sleep properly. I don't think that's unreasonable of
me.
Might
...
It was the same unchanging innocence of Werne, but Might's smile dulled
conversely. To escape from that pain, he opened his mouth slowly.
Might
Your Majesty... This is farewell.
Werne
Nn... What are you saying, Might?
Might
Let's stop playing like this already... I'm done...
Werne
What's the meaning of this?! When I play with you...
Might
I know how you feel. But...
To suppress the reckless feelings inside of himself, Might coldly declared.
But contrary to Might's actions, his quivering voice couldn't hide the feeling
of sorrow.
Might
...But, if we keep this relationship it's not good for the country, no,
even more it's not good for Your Majesty.
Werne
Might, are you... serious?
Might lowered his eyes at the surprised Werne and continued.
Might
Yes. Your Majesty's body doesn't belong to Your Majesty alone. If I stay
by your side, I have no doubt it'll bring about horrible consequences. Therefore.
..
He didn't want to hear Werne's words. He knew well his mind would sway if
he did.
So Might turned his back to Werne.
Werne
...I don't like it.
As he cried that, Werne clung to Might's back. He seemed to be frantically
trying to restrain him...
Might
Your Majesty...
Werne
I hate it!
Werne
Didn't you promise to always stay by me! I won't allow you to leave me!
Might, are you going to leave me by myself!!
As he shouted, tears overflowed from Werne's eyes.
Might
...
Werne
My father died, and Fritz and Lorence aren't at the palace anymore...
Werne
If you disappear too... I... I will be all alone...
Werne
So... So, don't leave me! I need you! I order it!
Might
Your Majesty...
At Werne's cries, Might felt his decision wavering. But, he was entirely
decided after he deliberated.
Might
Those words... It's more honor than I deserve...
Might
But, just this time I'm going to disobey an order, please forgive me...
Werne
...Might!!
Werne cried bitterly at his back, but Might turned away without looking
back. He decided not to turn around again...
The next day...
The next day...
Might was starting to prepare for a trip. He was going to leave the palace,
and search for a way to best use his power as a knight.
Most of all, if he stayed here he would come face to face with Werne again.
That was the most painful thing.
For Werne, and for Might...
Might
Well, is this it... I've finished handing things over, and soon...
He was going to start his trip - it was when he thought that. Werne's servant
dove into his room...
Servant
Mi, Might-sama! It's awful! His Majesty... His Majesty Werne is!
Might
His Majesty is...?! Did something happen to His Majesty?!
At his servant's alarmed appearance, Might unintentionally raised his voice.
Servant
Y, yes... I can't find His Majesty Werne anywhere. Moreover, the crown and
the treasured sword that the successors inherit were on the throne...
Might
No way...?! Have you searched in the palace for the time being?
Servant
Y, yes... Up to now, everyone who can move has been searching for him together.
Might
...His Majesty!!
Forgetting about his trip, together with the other subjects, Might's eyes
became bloodshot as he searched for Werne.
But no matter where he looked in the palace, he couldn't find that figure.
An impatience was born in Might's mind...
Might
Your Majesty, where in the world are you... Were you able to leave the royal
palace...
Might
...Are we searching for a different spot than the palace?
Demanding clues, Might asked the trembling servant.
Servant
Uh, umm... Well, I accidentally didn't say...
Servant
...There's one horse missing from the stables... Is, is it possible His
Majesty rode away.
Might
A horse...
When Might's mind heard that, one word passed through his mind.
Might
Your Majesty... It can't be...?!
Might
It's bad, but can you bring my horse! I have an idea.
Servant
Y, yes. At once...
From the back of the palace, Might rode off on his favorite horse quickly.
There was only one destination. It was a hill that Werne had taken a long
ride to before.
Werne
...That place must be beautiful at this time of the season.
The casual remark Werne made remained deeply in Might's heart.
It wasn't the reason he was convinced.
Might
(But... He's probably in that place...)
And then, the person he was searching for was on the summit of that hill.
A place where you could see the entire town...
One young man was standing in the blooming flowers--. In was a dream-like
scene in some ways.
Might
Your Majesty...
Might's figure caught his attention, and Werne quietly smiled. ...It was
as if he couldn't wait for him to come.
Werne
Might, I knew you would come...
Might
I thought by chance...
Werne
Huhuu... You have no rival... You'll know wherever I go.
Might
I remembered that day, when Your Majesty saw this scenery--. Because you're
still in my heart...
Werne
I see... I'm glad to hear that. I had a hunch that you would go somewhere
far away...
Might
...
Might
...Your Majesty, please. Please come back to the palace. Everyone is worried.
Werne
No, I don't plan on going back to the palace...
Might
Your Majesty, what are you...
Werne
Might, you don't have to call me Your Majesty anymore.
Werne
The crown and sword would have been seen. Now I'm just Werne. I'm not the
king who carries the burden of the whole country. I have no position, honor
or property other than my body...
Werne's expression as he said that was was lonely-but, at the same time,
he had a fresh smiling face.
That smile looked like the smile he had seen once before. When Might had
talked to Werne for the first time, the smile he saw that day...
Werne
...I certainly might be rich, but I'm not free to go where I want or do
what I want. I want to see the outside world more freely...
Werne
That's why I'm jealous of you. Because you have freedom, something that
I can't have.
Werne
The heirs to the throne don't have anything, either... Like this... Might,
will you love me? As only a free man...
He saw dignified determination in Werne's eyes.
Might
Werne, I...
They're gazes became entwined, and their bodies were naturally drawn towards
each other.
Might
Because it's you, Werne, I want to love and protect you.
Werne
Might...
Werne
Huhuu... I don't know anything outside of the palace. I'll definitely bother
you. You still don't mind?
Might
Then I'll teach you. Even if it's everything...
Werne
How will we eat? I want to work, but I'm sure my skills are limited.
Might
Them, I'll just work twice as much... If it's for your sake, hardships like
that aren't anything...
Werne
I see... But, you know how selfish I am. Is it ok, even when I'm like that?
Might
Yes. I'll defend you. I'll always be by you...
Werne
Might...
Werne
I'm so happy! I want to be with you, too... Forever... and ever...
As they watched each other, words weren't necessary.
Perhaps it was possible to overcome anything-- if they could be together...
No matter what it was... They had such conviction...
Concealed in the flowers, the two young men seemed like sculptures, forever
nestling close to each other. As they vowed eternal love to each other...
The End
