Yello Keith Coloflare 10 – Ear Piercing

 

[My dearest fiancee, his highness, the 2nd prince, Yello Keith Coloflare.

Thank you for your wonderful birthday present. While it pains me that we’re both busy and hardly have time to meet with one another, I am aware that it means crucial events are happening to both of our countries at the moment. Coloflare Kingdom’s game is about to start very soon, so we must brace ourselves and welcome the oncoming fateful day.

Speaking of welcomes, I heard that Count Glinda welcomed a child in his home. It was apparently a boy he found in the outskirts of the Coloflare Kingdom who looked just like his lost child, Sir Harald. His name is Locke; yes, there was also a character like that in the game. My apologies, sir. I have not written about him in the data I sent to you. He was a mob character from the player’s village that one would exchange a few lines with, in the prologue, before the game’s opening sequence. I have completely forgotten about him and only remembered him after being told, but there was indeed a mention about him being adopted by a neighboring country’s aristocrats in the heroine’s letters.

I mean, nobody would’ve expect such a character who never even appeared in the story to be the hidden capture target! Thinking about it, he was indeed the who’ve been with the heroine since childhood and was a gentle person who always worried about the heroine’s livelihood in the capital. I do understand the logic behind his character in working hard to obtain both social standing and strength in order to help the heroine.

The first princess’ partner is much more romantic than the two commoner childhood friends. This was also a recent news but, the first princess whose life is being threatened due to the succession conflict was confessed to by his school friend from Keuk village. He has been in love with the princess all this time and proposed to her the other day.

While they might not be able to get approval for their love so easily due to the different in social status, love plays that involves couples who overcome obstacles to be together was quite the trend recently so they were very well received.

While the two of us are arranged by both of our countries, my happiness in being wed to you trumps over any exciting stories. I’m not saying this just because sir is my favourite character in the game, okay?

I will make sure to visit Sir Keith’s birthday this year. If he has a present he would like in mind, please do tell me about it.

Your fiancee, Canaria Riqum.]

 

 ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

 

I have put my request in my reply to Canaria’s adorable letter without hesitation. It will by my 13th Birthday. It has been quite some time ever since she last visited the Coloflare Kingdom.

 

Canaria who is already fourteen year old this year has slightly grown out of her innocence, and looks to be much more like a lady now, which makes me both excited and anxious at the same time. Wouldn’t I be ill-suited to stand next to such an adorable fiancee? Do she still have the same childishness within?

‘It has been a while, Prince Yello. I wish to greet you a happy birthday.’

‘Thank you, Lady Riqum.’

We are in official grounds so we both greet each other formally, but when the feast started, she stealthily whispered close to my ears.’

‘You’ve grown taller, haven’t you sir? You might be taller than me now.’

‘But not enough. I want to be as tall as my brother.’

‘Fufufu, Prince Leddorio is quite tall after all. The royal academy is conducting their dungeon capture training camp right now, are they not?’

‘That’s right, they conducted it yesterday so he is not attending today. I did receive a birthday card… the dance is about to start, let’s go, Canaria.’

I took Canaria by the hand and led her to the center of the hall and dance to the tune. I have been dancing with other ladies in the parties held by my associate, so for today I feel like flaunting her as much as I can. She is my wonderful fiancee, who could become the next queen of this kingdom.

Amid our dance, Chloe and Shin dancing together caught the corner of my vision. Darck used to escort her because of my brother’s constant absence, but sir Darck is also in his 2nd academic year so he’s attending the training camp too. When the song tunr ended, Chloe’s pair came approaching us.

‘Good day to you, Prince Yello. I wish to greet you a happy birthday.’

‘Thank you, sister-in-law.’

‘It has been a long while too, Lady Riqum. It’s great to see that you’re as adorable as always.’

‘T-Thank you. Lady Sele—Sereknight is looking very pretty too…’

Canaria bit her tongue out of sheer nervousness. Lady Chloe merely hid her lips behind her folding fan seemingly scoffing underneath. It’s just one mistake, let her off. It was cute anyway! By the way, she’s likely not nervous out of fear from Lady Chloe, but rather the excitement of having met the game’s characters.

‘Hohoho, please do not be so shy. We will be sister-in-laws soon, after all. Anyway, hasn’t his highness look more grown up? He looks so much of a prince now.’

‘Even if you say that, I’ve always been a prince, sister. In what manner have you always seen me as?’

‘Of course, ‘the prince’s little brother.”

Well, for Lady Chloe, my brother is the only prince after all. But while I was about to sigh thinking that, Canaria embraced me by the arm and said;

‘Of course, but in my perspective, Sir Keith is the prince, so I only see Prince Leddorio as “the prince’s brother.”‘

‘My, so he lets you call him by the nickname? It’s good to see that you’re getting along… however, I see that you still haven’t done it.’

‘?’

Lady Chloe who took a momentous glance to Canaria’s ears said, this time with a clearly provocative smile. Why is she going gungho on someone who’s not even her love rival? Is my brother’s absence bothering her so much?

‘Well, I wish you best of luck. I’ll be going now.’

Saying so, Lady Chloe called Shin towards her side. Canaria deeply exhales.

‘Good work, Canaria. Thank you for answering back for my sake.’

‘No no, not at all, sir. But even so, as expected of a villainess, she’s a transcendent beauty up close. She’s just fifteen, sir, fifteen! In comparison, I just started growing around there!’

Not minding my worry, the lady has completely entered her player mode. She’s making such questionable movements with her hands seemingly expressing the size of her chest, so I stopped her. We’re in public, Canaria…

‘There’s no need to be envious. If you look too grown, I would look even more of a child in comparison. That would make me anxious. I would rather have you wait for me to catch up first.’

‘A-Ahahaha, that might be impossible, but if that’s what Sir Keith wants. By the way, Lady Chloe spoke about having not done something yet, what does she mean?’

‘Oh yeah, I’ll tell you about that so should we leave this place?’

After I smiled at her and held her hand, Canaria’s bewildered facial expression blushed.

 

 ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

 

‘So this is, Sir Keith’s room.’

Canaria who came to his fiancee’s room for the very first time was looking around, brimming with curiousity. I took her to my room because I wanted to show her something. Refusing the help of my servants in changing my clothes, I had them on standby outside the room instead. Canaria sat in my bed waiting. Is she not even thinking of the reason why a man would bring the woman he liked in her room at all?

‘Thank you for waiting.’

‘Woooah!’

After changing my clothes in a different room and opening the door, Canaria stood up with excited voice. Her hands were joined together with such sparkles in her eyes. What I’m currently wearing right now is the same school uniform of the royal academy that my brother is attending. On top of it, I was also wearing a glasses.

‘Sir Keith in his school uniform! Furthermore, he even has glasses! How precious! Sir Keith has a lot of appearance in Leddorio route, but because the heroine will be attending ascetic practices for her third year there’s hardly any opportunities to see him.’

‘It’s good to see that you liked it. You’re free to look as much as you like. Ah, would you like to wear one too?’

When I took out a girl’s uniform from the same bag, Canaria who came to her sense inclined her head in wonder.

‘…Why do sir Keith have a pair of school uniform?’

‘I prepared this for the time John enters the academy. The game is about to start soon and my methods will change depending on how the heroine moves so, I need to be able to see the whole picture clearly… Ah, the girl’s uniform was Missouri’s.’

She didn’t say whether she’d like to wear it or not but I left the room immediately telling her to call me when she’s done. By doing this, she’ll have no choice but to put it on. She’s easily the type to easily get swayed so I knew how to lead her around like that. Ah… I already feel like a filthy adult at thirteen. Would she hate this side of me?

After a while, she called out to me telling she’s done changing so I returned to the room. Two figures of the two of us standing next to the dresser mirror is something nobody else would likely see. The me who had yet to enroll, and the foreigner Canaria, wearing our royal academy’s uniform. After inadvertently holding her tight, I heard a small groan within my arms.

‘You’re really really adorable, Canaria! Just transfer to the royal academy!’

‘I-I would very much like to do so but, I was entrusted to be both the first princess’ and Countess Glinda’s company. If I study abroad, the two of them would be lonely.’

‘I see, she’s your school friend too after all. That’s too bad. Oh right, did you bring the birthday gift that I gave you?’

When I told her that I would like to do the piercing for her, my fiancée’s eyes swam away. As I thought, this involves wounding her body so I didn’t really expect her to just say yes obediently.

‘Sir Keith wants to do the piercing, right? Well, I did do it in my past life so I’m not scared, but it would be the first time for this body so I can’t help but get nervous… Uhm, can’t I just do it on my own, sir?’

‘I want to do it myself. Is that a no?’

When I said so inclining my head and with an upturned eyes, her shoulders trembled and her eyes was casted downward.

‘Hmph, I cannot possibly refuse if Keith pleads to me like that.’

‘I already prepared all the medicinal care we need right here. I also practiced my magic control for this day.’

‘Seeing as sir is completely prepared, would you even take no for an answer…?’

Muttering her grumbles, Canaria took off her shoes and laid on the bed.

‘A-Alright. His highness is really fine with this as his birthday present, right? That being the case, I’ll just resolve myself.’

‘Canaria?’

‘P-Please do it instantly! …..and gentle, if possible…’

Having the woman you like in your room, laying on your bed, with her eyes shut tight, yielding herself to you. What am I gonna do with this situation? Nothing but ear piercing, of course.

Climbing on the same bed with disinfected needles and the ice that I brought along, Canaria slighlty opened her eyes and saw me hanging over, whispering how precious, before closing her eyes again.

‘Canaria? Did you faint? Hey… Oh well.’

If her body stiffened too much, I’ll end up being too conscious of it which will make it hard to do. After doing it fast, disinfecting the wound and sitting upright on the bed, I saw the dress that Canaria took off on the chair. I put it on a hanger to not let it wrinkle.

The lady who still remained asleep have made me restless, so I caressed her head and began talking on my own.

‘Canaria, there’s something I realized when I talked to Duke Moonlight. Why would an empire who doesn’t believe in gods would want something like a Saintess and founded their own religion?

The answer is ‘authority.’ Corundum Kingdom’s is weak on the power of faith. Coloflare Kingdom’s may be corrupted, but it can rely on a Saintess. To crush them both, they would to spread a religion that could be easily withdrawn, and a way to undermine our ‘authority.’

The entry of the foreign powers in Coloflare Kingdom out of House Moonlight’s betrayal will lead to the collapse of the sacred church. With the spread of the magic drugs through the new religion, the ‘authority’ of the Corundum Kingdom that is barely held together by the blood of the Saintess, were, in the end, stolen by the empire too. That’s the two reasons that led to the two kingdom’s ruin.

If that’s the case, then what could the two of us who lived a hundred years in the past, do? The game is about to start soon. Should I prevent my brother from cancelling his engagement to Chloe? Should I be hearing the troubles of these capture targets and resolve them on my own?

The truth is, there are so many things we could try doing. However, we are still younger by them, and we still lack experiences. It would look like a child that thinks that he knows everything. It’s exactly because the girl was in the same age as them, attending in the same school, that she was able to forcefully open the corner of their hearts that they’d never show to anyone. I am powerless after all. Perhaps, this is one of those “game” correction that you spoke off.

That’s why instead of stirring things up in the surface, I thought that perhaps patching things up underneath would go better which is why I had John attend the academy. By receiving reports of the heroine’s activities from him, I will know what to do after figuring out which route she’ll go for. For now, I will let the game move accordingly to its plot.

However, I guess I’ll have no other choice but to become the crown prince. Not only to prevent the Ducal house from colluding with the empire but also to know this country’s shadows. If that happens… If that were to come true, I would have to have you become the queen of this country… would you still follow me?’

Canaria eyes opened in a snap. Still laying in the bed, she giggled then reached for my cheeks with her hand.

‘Please don’t look so anxious, sir. The two of us are engaged.’

‘But, I will end up dragging you in my own problems.’

‘It was originally my kingdom’s problem. If Coloflare kingdom can keep it away, then I will help you, sir.

Besides, although this is in regards to the game, sir Leddorio is a terribly pure, delicate and lonely individual. Standing above people comes with dirtying one’s own hand, that person is too clean. I believe that Sir Keith is more suitable than him.’

Canaria’s fingers got wet. I must be crying. Sacrificing my sister-in-law, kicking my brother off, and getting my fiancee involved in the process; even so, I must ensure the kingdom’s survival at all cost. How very bitter… being at the top of a country is just dark and lonely.

‘Will you still, stay by my side?’

‘I am Sir Keith’s woman.’

Canaria smiled caressing her slightly bloodied ears. Her unbearable beauty filled me with fervor which made me hold her tight.

 

 ◆ ◇ ◆ ◇ ◆

 

To match it up with the Heroine’s enrollment, I had John attend the school as Baron Brian’s son. Different hair and eye color would stand out in this country too much so I had him dye his hair yellow. After doing that, he looked surprisingly like me even more. Just in case, I had him wear glasses. If he were to be approached for it, he can just said that it was just a coincidental similarity.

Why would we need to look a like? Because there are times were I would need to switch with him and invade the school on my own. I need to see the heroine with my own eyes, and I have some business with the sacred church too. The royal family have magic tools to prevent recognition, but the Sacred Church who works hand in hand with the royal family is regulating the use of magic tools through license. So it would be limited to just a simple disguise.

What kind of choices will the heroine make? I would very much like her to just return to her village without picking anyone but, my older brother also has some plans on his own. Sorry to him but, I’m quite desperate out here so I’ll have him tag along with mine.

Now then, It’s game start now.
