Marceau placed both hands on his chest and She pressed down by force.
–Darcy Stop now......
Darcy He who had listened to her in silence did not even move.
"Oh What does he think?" Marceau frowned and raised her head, but There was only a heartbeat in my ears.
–Am Darcy suddenly bit her ear.
With With a slight cry, the girl pushed her away and Darcy stepped back easily. Marceau's lobe, which he had bitten, was burning.
– Thu, What are you doing! Marceau faltered In surprise, the corners of the man's lips stood up.
Playfulness that she thought was gone, back into his half-closed eyes.
–I remembered that the last time you took me They didn't listen, so I was a little offended on your ears.
Shiny Darcy's eyes looked cunning.
–Darcy something like that...... she sighed and tried to persuade him to Marceau.
–Must not Do something like that? Unfortunately, I didn't have my first love, let alone about a girlfriend or a lover. In the future, I'll I'll be more careful.
...... only Darcy left her speechless again. But it was It's a little sad to hear that He didn't have his first love.
When Marceau grimaced, and the man lowered Head:
–It's possible You will be my first love.
His The words spoken with a smile were comforting Marceau. Now she's used to such Conversations.
–For now You're smiling.
–To me I'm sorry I only saw you like this in end, perhaps because she was an emotional person, but Marceau It became a little sad that the man to whom she had become attached for a long time Time is running out.
"It's definitely better than normal times, That's why I got weaker.
How and it was expected I needed some It's time to recover at home."
Standing face to face with Darcy, Marceau gathered herself with and smiled her best smile.
–Then bye, Darcy," and she waved her hand.
Darcy stared at her without saying anything.
Only After a while, he narrowed his eyes and Smiled:
–So long Marceau.
This is It was the same goodbye as the usual one day.
This is It was their last conversation.
*****
Today was the last day of his meetings with Marceau.
Magical Enough stones were collected. Thanks to their contract, Darcy was able not only to to unravel the magic circle, but also to take magic stones that today He was generously given as a bonus.
"Finally."
Finally The day has come to break free from the chains that surround the whole palace, and from the curse that his Connects.
This is was what Darcy had been craving ever since he was taken to the Emperor after He was abandoned by his mother.
Freed from his mother's curse that bound him life, Darcy lived a normal life, as if the ugly aspects of this place never existed.
Life on which he had hoped all his life, was a ray of hope for which Darcy Stay.
Each Once, when he was drawn into a fight, he thought about the same thing.
About that he wants to live a new life somewhere else instead of looking vain vengeance that will destroy him life.
Even if it's his biological father, who used Darcy all his life, It took time to get revenge, and His time was too precious, to spend it on revenge.
...... yet and a request from his mother not to harm Kiesu.
Although Darcy and knew she had abandoned him, he didn't could have forgotten the request she had made in One last point.
Despite that Darcy had met Marceau, That goal has never changed.
He I didn't know her for long, and this desire was with his whole life.
"Only Darcy narrowed his eyes.
Nor One step has not disappeared. Instead of to go first, as usual, Darcy I realized what had happened only after how Marceau sent him into the drawing-room.
Only Then he thought that maybe it was all time gave his heart to Marceau.
Because of conversation that I overheard by accident.
Marceau confronted the Marquis in the hallway after how she said goodbye to Darcy.
Voice the Marquise of Etvar was louder than expected, and Darcy's hearing was sensitive enough.
Welcome between father and daughter were extremely awkward. Which was not surprising at all.
Seeing each other with Marceau alone, Darcy refused to thoughts of the existence of normal family relations.
"I think I felt a little sympathy, because she is in the same situation, and so do I."
In At that moment the Marquis Etvar spoke again:
–His His Majesty the Emperor sent you invitation, Marceau.
– ……
–Thee invited to dinner with Prince Ryan. They seem to think of you as a spouse Crown Prince. And it looks like it will take place soon The ceremony of his acceptance of the title.
In the moment he heard Ryan's name A chuckle escaped Darcy's lips.
«** bastard **," Spontaneous curses flashed by, to which he had become accustomed in this chaos.
Child An emperor who spoke of nobility monk and the qualities by which he should possess the Emperor while Darcy raised A sword forced to suffer to the very end Death.
Ryan.
Reason for which the Prince is still known to the public was not appointed as Crown Prince, was Simple.
All because Emperor Kies used the position of the Crown Prince as bait.
KIES used Darcy's body and head until They were not torn, and there were several times he said he was doing it, because thinks of the other as the Crown Prince.
When Without hesitation, Darcy asked why Ryan still hasn't won the title Crown Prince, he heard this:
–Even If it wasn't for that reason, I'd be fine I also had to do it because of the curse.
Ways Make better use of Darcy were just more vicious.
Darcy sighed bitterly.
Conversation between Marceau and the Marquis was still going on.
Marceau She said she didn't want to go. Marquis Etvar tried to persuade her:
–Exit marrying the Prince would be good for you. We can't give up this fellowship so please think about it and Come.
Calm the man's voice irritated Darcy greatly.
"If I'm going to go out and break his neck, he's sure shut up.
That's disgusting pretending to listen to Marceau's opinion, though not at all you're going to take it. Similar The words are annoying."
...... No In fact, it wasn't just the words.
It's time after the encounter with Marceau, it flew by instantly.
Darcy didn't know what they were talking about in that short while. When he thought that would be able to leave, everything seemed easy to him. He spoke without hesitation or concealment his sincerity.
But Darcy couldn't leave.
He could not return to the Saisen Palace, where Preparations had already been completed.
"Why I'm standing here in a daze with a voice A marquise I don't even know?" Darcy asked himself.
"That's it Been completed.
I I can really let it go."
–Seem they think of you as the Crown Prince's wife.
"Ryan. For Marceau, this would be a huge waste Life.
I I can't let Marceau and that get engaged. He's not worthy to be with ney. At the very least, it should be Someone who has good looks and personality.
Well His identity is acceptable, but......"
First Darcy experienced the feeling that was unfamiliar to him. It didn't matter who was next to Marceau.
That The same thing happened last time meeting when he heard rumors about to an actor from the theater.
"Perhaps, That's because she's my first friend.
Once upon a time I read in a book that becoming intimate friends, you take care of each other.
This is problem," Darcy's stomach twisted as he thought about Marceau and Ryan standing side by side.
Yet stronger because the man knew that This will happen by itself as soon as He'll be gone.
Desire Ryan didn't matter. As soon as Emperor Kies made the decision, he He was in the habit of going all the way.
......***, – Darcy cursed in his mind and was irritated ruffled his hair.
"It's Not that.
I should be gone by now."
Plan the perfect escape he made, became the chain that held Darcy together.
This is It was a disaster. He's caught in a trap.
Than The more Darcy resisted, the stronger became a chain.
In This point he had to admit it.
"Me worries about the future of Marceau Etvar.
Marceau which is outwardly determined, but very I'm weak inside, I can't leave you alone." the moment Darcy thought of In his mind, various The reasons are one after another.
"After all, I know what kind of shit Ryan is.
Yes I know how different Marceau is from the rumors.
And Which is most important.
Moment the quiet happiness I felt while I was with her, deeply imprinted in my mind and I don't think it's will leave him.
She is – the man who first gave me to feel the happiness that I thought I wouldn't be able to find it here.
How Can I ignore it?
I I can't leave."
Enlightenment was instantaneous.
"I I don't know exactly what that feeling is. But One thing is clear.
I won't be able to watch Marceau hit in trouble.
Even if it completely changes my life plans," Darcy smiled wryly. Photography which he held in his hand, was hard crumpled.
He didn't know what Marceau's attitude was attracted him for just a few of their Meetings.
Looking in a crumpled photo, Darcy wiped off the remnants of his Emotions.
–Later You'll be able to look at it and remember it It's over and over again.
"She's gave it to me as a farewell Gift. Now that this meeting is not The latter, its meaning is lost.
If I wish I hadn't seen her face today I wouldn't worry so much." Darcy rubbed his lips as he thought of Marceau's face.
Sense the emptiness and loneliness that he I felt it when I said I was leaving.
Satisfaction that arose when he saw her the other side, distinguishable from its usual Confidence.
Joy from the realization that only he can to see something like that.
Excitement that he had never felt in his life, that engulfed his entire body.
How only Darcy admitted he couldn't leave Everything has become easy.
"Change life plan.
Preventing Marceau's trouble, it will be possible to leave. And before that, I have to protect her.
However Kies's will is not easily broken. Need a lot of strength to reject an offer Kiesa and make everything go the way he wants Marceau," Darcy raised his eyebrows and crossed his arms over his chest.
«...... in as a bonus I think I should to take revenge."
Hatred was weak in it because of the long-blunted feelings, but as the opportunity arose, Darcy had no reason not to Her.
In the moment he thought about it Darcy's heavy footsteps quickened. The step has become so fast that it surprised even him.
"There are something to think about. There's no time to waste here and now.
It's possible From the very beginning, I wanted to give up his mother's last plea and take revenge."
In In an instant Darcy disappeared from the living room Etvar Mansion.
Place Where he arrived, as usual, was the bathroom.
Darcy quickly noticed that the air around him was different from usual. That smell was very familiar to him.
Correcting clothes, Darcy knew at once who was coming.
"The main A hero of unforgettable memories.
At last He's here."
Smell Emperor Kiesa filled the incense room and even Darcy's bathroom.
