Just want to say how much I appreciate the work you do with your translations! I think it’s good to look at these characters through a critical eye and share opinions but it’s not ok to use screen shots of someone else’s hard work without crediting them. Especially when you’re hating on that persons favorite character! I just hope this doesn’t demoralize you or make you feel a certain way. You’re using your time to bring people joy. I personally look forward to every post you make. Even the ones that are not translations!
hii anon, ty for for your kind words✨✨ in light of all what happened i really appreciate it /gen it did make me feel down for a bit but also, whats done is done. i would appreciate an apology at some point, but eh, i won’t be holding my hopes up wayy too high haha. i have mostly moved on, i think. that post was pretty blatantly a thinly veiled hate post against darius, so for one it just didnt feel so great to learn ppl were essentially reading my tls out of spite?? but also that gave me the impression they didnt credit me out of malice toward me as a person bc i liked darius too..
but in truth i am ok with discussing criticisms, even on characters like alfons & darius, who are my favs personally for how ironic and complex they are, but also i understand why ppl may not feel comfy with them. i wont judge as long as i receive proper respect in turn and any discussion is brought up in a civilized manner. i don’t mind my tls being used for critical opinions too, since really, i do enjoy seeing ppl react to my tls, or sort of using them to form their own opinions, especially positively but also critically — but i implore everyone who reads this to remember that criticism or fostering a discussion based in a critical light is not the same as hate or masquerading hate as “criticism.”
I think the only way you could make me interested in Darius is to have Kate put him through extreme domination loss until he's a crying, sniveling mess. He wants to assault her? Uno Reverse card, bastard.
Tragically, it's never going to happen. But I assure you I will be dreaming of it through the entirety of his route in a year or so. It's probably gonna be the only thing getting me through tbh. (He's fine, just severely not my type!)

𝜗𝜚 cw — strangulation, threats of violence.
[VOGEL SHIP - BEDROOM - NIGHT]
With my airways covered, the oxygen flow gradually cut off.
Darius: Since it's all your fault that everything fell apart.
His lips were formed in a smile, and yet his eyes were anything but…and I grabbed the hand that was around my neck from above.
Kate: Let go, please…
Darius: Don't worry, I'm not squeezing so hard as to kill you.
Darius: I'm just making it painfully hard to breathe for you. Quite a fitting punishment, if I say so myself.
My back hit the wall. With nowhere to run, I could only scrunch my face in pain.
Darius: …The plan to capture Crown was meant to be a last resort, in case talking didn't get through to them.
Kate: —!
Darius: I was going to spend more time to bring them into my family. I had many things planned.
Darius: But…no thanks to you, all of that went up in smoke.
The smile vanished from Darius' face.
Darius: Crown worrying over some useless human who can't do anything but accompany on missions and write up reports…
Darius: I thought it was all some joke at first. And that they were going to treat you like some servant and outlet for their desires.
Darius: But…you really are favored by them.
His grip around my neck loosened.
Kate: (*>Д<)≪∴ *cough, cough*
I pushed his hand away in haste, while Darius looked down at me with a cold look.
Darius: You're a load of trouble, annoying, pushy with your morals, and for how you told me to trust you, you didn't trust me yourself.
Darius: You ticked me off so much, I went for this capture to get away from you as soon as I could, and yet…
Darius: Like the fool you were, you put your life on the line, and that made me bring not a Cursed one but rather a human here.
Darius: So how do you plan to make this up to me?
I was sandwiched between the wall and Darius, and unable to move, I stared back at him.
Kate: I…will take full responsibility.
Darius: No, how will you do it? Because it's not like you're going to bring me new Cursed ones here, are you?
Darius: And don't come at me with the "I'll give you my life" talk, because I won't believe that. Not when you didn't believe me.
Darius: Say what you want, but it's too late to change my mind.
Rather than mad…his expression seemed more sulky, and I blinked in response.
(Could it be, there's more to his anger than me getting in the way of his plans…?)
If anything, it felt like he was more mad at me not being able to believe him,
so when I slowly reached out to touch Darius' cheek, his pout softened a tad.
Darius: …Do you really think stroking my cheek's going to make me feel better?
(But…you do feel a bit better, don't you?)
If I were to say that out loud, though, he would probably squeeze my neck again, so I withdrew my hand in silence.
When I did, his expression reverted back—
Kate: …!
And unable to keep the raising affection in, I pulled him into a hug.
Darius: Let me go—
Kate: No, I won't.
Darius: I swear I'll cut your wrists off.
Kate: Then I'll just use my legs.
Though he said to let go, he made no effort to push me away, leaving him at my mercy.
That gap in his actions made me feel even more affection— at the same time the guilt became more prominent.
Kate: About the military practice…I'm sorry that I suspected you of that incident.
Darius said nothing in return.
Kate: My suspicion against you was an act of impulse, in light of the things that happened up until then.
Darius: Are you apologizing? Or provoking me?
Kate: The former! I was the one who said I wanted you to believe me, and yet I ended up doubting you, even if for a moment, so.
Kate: I'm really sorry for hurting you then.
At my words of apology, Darius opened his mouth after a moment of silence.
Darius: I was going to do something similar.
Kate: …Huh!?
I raised my head, still hugging him. When I looked up, it looked like he was no longer sulking.
Darius: I was going to cause problems for England during the practice, make them take the blame, and officially take many of the Crown members hostage.
Darius: But someone got us first before that could happen.
Kate: …But you were going to do that, were you not?
Darius: But you're still guilty because that didn't actually happen.
(So it wasn't just a failed attempt…!)
Would that not make me a bit less guilty for directly doubting him then?
Thinking that, I buried my face in his chest, pressing and rubbing my forehead on it. And I felt my head being lightly patted.
Kate: By the way, can I ask exactly what you were going to do?
Darius: Oh, just to kill off an officer in Germany's military who were in my way in an accident.
Kate: …Darius.
I once again raised my head to look at him, but then his hand slipped to the back of my head before he pressed me into his chest.
Darius: And like I said, I didn't do it. Yet.
Darius: But anyway, he got questioned for this incident too, so all's well that ends well.
(All's well that ends…not too well, right?)
There were many things I wanted to question about, but the hand patting my head was all too gentle…
I couldn't help but feel a sense of security from the person who had been strangling me just some time before.
And to think I felt no need to ask more on the matter…maybe something was wrong with me.
His body temperature was slightly warm as I hugged him when I murmured—
Kate: …So, I've become a hostage, aren't I.
Darius' hand on my head stopped.
Darius: That you have. I told them the moment they started questioning me about capturing Crown, I'd kill you.
Kate: But, I'm no longer fairytale keeper…
Darius: Even if you're not, it was just as effective.
Darius: They can no longer lay a hand on us. Ahh, and they had a message for you too.
Kate: Huh?
I withdrew my body just a bit, when he grabbed my shoulders—
Darius: "If you ever find yourself in danger, you can give them information on Crown."
Kate: Wah—
He pushed me down on the bed, his fingers once again around my neck.
Darius: So I know this is sudden, but that very situation's upon you now. How about you spit out information on Crown? (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
Darius: You wouldn't want me to squeeze at your neck again, now would you?
Kate: Well, yes, but…
I used a cushion to guard my neck, but he immediately took that away and threw it on the floor.
Darius: Then, maybe we can start at Victor's true colors. Would you happen to know anything on that?
[1] He's a good person.
[2] He's a strange Queen's Aide.
[3] No, I don't. (+4/+4)
Kate: No, I don't. I'm inclined to think you know more than me on that.
Darius: I'm pretty sure you saw him use his ability that day though. Are you seriously saying you didn't question a single thing from him then?
Darius: Covering for him's all fine and good, but even at this time there is one thing that's fading away.
Darius: That being his trust for you.
No matter what he said, though, I had no way to answer.
Kate: I really don't know though—
Darius: Do you really think lying will work?
Kate: I'm not lying. He never told me any of the details!
When I made that clear declaration, his fingers tracing my neck stopped where they were.
Kate: …I couldn't ask him. At all.
——Flashback——
[CHURCH - STAIRCASE - NIGHT]
Victor: …I know it's unfair to say this, on top with the many secrets you have had to learn…
Victor: But, please, I'd like you to keep this incident between us.
At that time, perhaps I could have asked what I had wanted.
"Who are you?"
"Why did you hide the fact you were Cursed?"
—"Is it true that you are related to the royal family?"
(But, I didn't ask.)
Because at the time, Victor didn't seem keen on receiving such prying questions.
(And I don't want to ask questions to those who don't want to be asked.)
After all, everyone held a secret or two they would rather not tell.
Besides that, I felt that it wouldn't benefit Victor if I were to learn his secrets, so I opted not to ask.
——End flashback——
[VOGEL SHIP - BEDROOM - NIGHT]
Darius: Really? ( ╹ -╹)
Kate: Yes, I swear under oath I'm not lying.
I looked him straight in the eye, and his fingers drew away from my neck.
And then looking ever so gloomy, his gaze dropped to the bed.
Darius: …How in the world did I end up with the likes of you?
Darius: Just how, when there's nothing in that head of yours, you've little value as a hostage, you can't do much and your uses are limited?
Darius: Why…
I propped myself up, brushing my fingertips with his.
I didn't know how he would react…but nonetheless I put my thoughts to words.
Kate: Perhaps it's because you didn't want me to die.
Darius' eyes widened for an instant, but then he wore a smile like he was making me for a fool.
Darius: Me, not wanting you to die?
Darius: You just never get tired of those boring jokes, huh.
Darius got off the bed, about to leave the room.
Kate: Ah…
I chased after him in a panic, but then he bent down on the other side of the door, grabbing something before turning back to me.
Darius: This is yours, isn't it?
A familiar, certain small truck was set on the floor.
And then, what Darius set down next— was the birdcage with the robin inside.
Kate: —!
I ran over to hug the birdcage, and when the robin recognized me it gave me happy chirps.
It was the chirps I knew…and I couldn't help my vision from growing teary from relief.
(Why is it here…)
Darius looked down at me, speaking in a light tone with no expression.
Darius: It seems my family mistook your luggage in the castle for mine.
Darius: They were very neatly put into the cart.
He crouched down, poking at the birdcage.
Darius: This bird's quite attached to me, so they believed without a doubt it was my pet.
Darius: But I've got better things to do than coddle small animals. They're my family, yet it seems they don't really know me.
Though the robin lightly pecked at Darius' fingertips, he remained where he was, his expression remaining unchanged.
Darius: What a joke. (-︵-)
His gaze seemed a bit gloomy, and my hold around the birdcage relaxed at that.
Kate: Darius…
But the moment I called out his name, he stood up—
Darius: You're a hostage and bargaining chip against Crown.
Darius: I have no intention of letting you go free. And unless I give permission, I'm never letting you out of this room.
Darius: You stay quiet here, just like a hostage should be.
He pulled out a key from his jacket pocket, hanging it in front of me as if to make a show of it.
Darius: This will be your little birdcage.
With that, he left the room— and the sound of the door locking resonated.
(He locked me in…)
I was shocked that I wouldn't be able to unlock the room…but even if I managed to get out, I would have nowhere to run.
(I can't call for help out at sea.)
And escaping from the boat would be nigh impossible. I would surely get captured soon and get brought back here.
Besides, if I did escape, I may end up facing something worse.
(It's like Darius said, even if I wasn't killed…)
My hair stood on end as I tightly held onto the birdcage. I didn't even want to think of what was going to happen.
(As I am right now, I'm a hostage like Darius said, and his pet.)
Perhaps, being locked in this birdcage of a bedroom was for my own good.
Wounded robin: Pii!
I came to when I heard the cheerful voice of the robin in my arms.
(I have to get myself together, or this little one might get killed.)
I stood up, holding the birdcage, and sat down on the bed.
Kate: It'll be okay. You and I both…it'll all be okay.
I murmured those words to convince myself, to which the robin went quiet in acceptance of my words.
(What will happen from here, I wonder?)
To the problem between Germany and England, the discord between Vogel and Crown…
And, the relationship between me and Darius?
I felt depressed not being able to see what lied ahead, but I figured I should look forward, even if a little bit, as I raised my head.
(As long as I'm a hostage, I won't be able to leave Darius.)
In other words— I would now be able force myself to get closer to him.
I lied down on the bed, holding only onto a small hope like finding a blooming flower in the mud.
Kate: At atny rate, I can use this situation…and get him to trust me this time for sure.
And I, too, would trust him in turn.
Unless we had that mutual trust, there was no doubt I wouldn't be able to convey these feelings for eternity.
[CLOSE EYES → BLACK]
While uncertain of what the future held, I closed my eyes.
And a faint warmth that wasn't mine lingered on the bed.

[PALACE - DINING ROOM - DAY]
Harrison: Head, face, neck, chest, stomach, arms, legs…all of them work, end of experiment. We can call it a day then, right?
Alfons: Oh, but are you positive you're alright missing out in this unparalleled pleasure?
Kate: Are you really sure?
Harrison: Now hold up, don't go joining this bandwagon.
Kate: But aren't you curious whether everyone would go weak to the knees?
Liam: Whoa, you're practically beaming, Kate.
William: It would probably delight her that she can return the favor after having been caught up in the whims of this den of evil, so full of character.
Kate: "Caught up in the whims," huh…are you sure you should be saying that?
William: Hm? ( ╹ -╹)?
Kate: You'll fall head over heels, you know? See, when I touch your ears just a tad…
[TOUCH: WILLIAM'S EAR]
William: Mm…
William: Indeed, this…is quite a mysterious…sensation…
William: Regardless of my own will…I end up seeing nobody else but you…
Victor: To think it makes even William, of all people, yield his will…what a power. (O_O)
Darius: I don't really see it that way. It's more like he's letting others bend his will or something.
Kate: How about it? Care to surrender?
William: …If I said to do more, how far would you be willing to go?
Kate: What!? Umm…
Harrison: Wiiill. Don't trouble Kate too much.
Harrison: …ah. (O_O)
Kate: Ah!
Nica: Wow, look at you, reaching out and holding her hand.
Kate: Does it have an effect even when I didn't initiate contact?
Harrison: That, um…I guess I don't know unless you touch me?
[TOUCH: HARRISON'S HAND]
Harrison: …Mn, yeah, it's the same. Whether you touch me or the other way around.
Harrison: And when you touched me…I…it feels like I was being charmed by you.
Elbert: Will…did you set Harrison up?
William: Haha, hardly. I derive no pleasure from hunting down foxes.
William: But, well, with this we can safely call the end—
Victor: Hey, hey! Are you mayhaps forgetting someone? (O_O)
William: Whoops, there was actually one more left. (–⩊–)
Victor: You definitely knew, didn't you? Now then, Kate! Touch me wherever you'd like; I'm fine with any- and everywhere—
Kate: We did already cover all the places for the experiment…but, let's go with the head.
Kate: Would you mind squatting down a little?
Victor: But of course, with pleasure. …Is this good?
[TOUCH: VICTOR'S HEAD]
Victor: Mm…hehe, it feels good.
Victor: It's hardly every day I get to indulge in headpats, so it feels more nice.
Roger: I seriously can't tell if it's actually working on the guy or not. ಠ_ಠ
Kate: Are you feeling charmed?
Victor: Yes, I am…as you can see, I'm as charmed as can be.
William: It's okay, your ability is working its magic. It is just he is bearing it with a smile, so as to not lose his composure.
Victor: Wha— hey, Will! Don't go ousting me like that!
Roger: If William says so then I guess it's working.
Kate: And so, it works on everyone!
Harrison: Haah…hey, are you trying to make all of us remember that feeling.
Kate: —? I mean, I guess so, seeing that I did touch everyone…?
Harrison: …You seriously don't have an inkling what sort of crazy thing you did, do you.
Kate: What do you mean by crazy?
Darius: It seems it's gone over your head that you're the one being preyed on here.
Roger: When you touch us, as we are now, it's like the ultimate pleasure to us…and a feast.
Roger: And now, everyone here has learned its taste.
Kate: …Wha—
Jude: Didja really think we'd just letcha off the hook after ya played with this bunch o' scoundrels?
Jude: Hah, a princess, amirite.
Harrison: If your hand can give pleasure, everyone here will end up following their own greed.
Kate: T-that…
Liam: Me, too, I've only been touched a little, so…I'd like your touch again.
Ellis: Hehe, me three.
Elbert: I…well, if it doesn't cause you any discomfort, I would like plenty.
Alfons: Well, I would be quite interested to know what would happen if, in this situation, we did aaall sorts of things.
Ring: S-shouldn't you wait until marriage to do those kinds of things!?
Nica: Uhh, isn't this getting a bit out of hand now?
Kate: L-let's stop!
Kate: What is happening to your bodies is abnormal, or something like a sickness, right?
Kate: So, we should all stay calm! Righ!?
Victor: Unfortunately, it might be a bit too late to make that argument now.
William: We already bear Curses on our backs. I hardly think we'd falter from something like sicknesses or abnormalities.
Kate: Let's find the cause of this! That's also why we did this experiment, right?
Roger: That is that, this is this. When there's such a feast right before us, there's no reason not to partake in it.
Ellis: But, it wouldn't be good to force her either. Kate wouldn't be happy then.
Ellis: So..how about I make you happy, and you can touch me as a reward?
Nica: Ohh, I like that idea. I do something good for you, and you do something good for me.
Darius: Why go through all of that trouble? We can just make her touch us.
Darius: Because for a mere human, being useful to us alone should be something to rejoice over, shouldn't it. (✿◠ᴗ◠)
Jude: Hah, no one out there can decide yer happiness but yerself.
Elbert: …Wait a minute.
Elbert: I speak from experience; at this rate, it will turn into another brawl…
Harrison: Good point. Isn't this where we should use our heads?
Ring: You mean, thinking of a way to feel head over heels without fighting…?
Alfons: Many cats gather for a single cat powder. "Without fighting" would seem quite far-fetched, no?
Jude: So all o' this is like catnip to 'im, eh. ("¬_¬)
Kate: Did I get so into this that I ended up losing my human rights in the process…?
William: Then, how about this?
William: Under an equal time limit, Kate can touch us. No forcing is permitted.
William: Let's see…we still have mail to sort, and time is of the essence.
William: Let's split into four groups of three, where Kate can spend time with one group at a time.
William: The rest of the groups will continue sorting through the mail during that time.
Ellis: I see. It sounds like a good idea where everyone can be happy then.
William: Of course, that is dependent on Kate's approval. What would you like to do?
Kate: I feel that if everyone was in serious mode, I can't imagine I'd be able to take all of you guys on one on one…
Kate: And in the case I wouldn't be able to escape, there's a risk I may come into physical and mental danger, so…
Darius: Talk about a lack of trust.
Nica: I mean, given how we normally act…
Kate: I will take on your suggestion!
Liam: …This isn't a match, right?
Harrison: Well, with this sort of group, that amount of spirit is probably needed.
Kate: But, I would like you to promise me one thing.
Kate: After the touching time has passed for all the groups—
Kate: Do not fight, and do not attack me. Does that sound good?
Everyone exchanged glances before showing their agreement.
Kate: Then, bring it on.
Jude: Hah, a contract full o' holes. What a sucker.
Ellis: I look forward to the touching time.
Elbert: How should we divide the groups?
Victor: I had a feeling something like this would happen, so I prepared a raffle draw!
Victor: Well then, Kate. Perhaps you should win us over.

first of all, ty for all the support for the incident! it really warmed my heart seeing all the nice comments and the rbs. i am getting my motivation back (*^ω^*)
its going to be a bit more time before darius blind love 22 is finished, but i am making progress..! i would say in ~2 days it will be fully out. as an apology for the delay, though, here’s a little snippet! subject to change a bit, of course- but you get the general idea hehe✨✨
i don’t like that i have to make this, but since user hot3hothot is actively ignoring and by extension refusing my simple request to edit their own post to credit me when they use my translations, and apparently can’t afford 10 seconds to be a semblance of a semi-decent human being, i will be the one to say this in their stead:
all the translation screenshots hot3hothot used in their post toward darius (tw for suitor hate) is my translation, kurishiri.
i ask that you do not interpret this post as approval to send hate or unnecessary attention to the poster. i understand darius and his story is not made for everyone. i mostly made this since i don’t want to just let that post remain uncredited, when i spent considerable time and effort in translating darius’ main story. so just, if you could help spread the word of this and make it more actively known that i am the translator they’re taking screenshots of, that would mean a lot to me!
finally, to end things in a more positive note— to everyone who commented in my defense and supported me, i genuinely appreciate it. thank you! i’m sorry i don’t reply; the whole thing left me pretty frazzled.. and i don’t know what to say a lot. i don’t use twitter way too often, but it seems word of this has also spread a bit to there as well. no matter the platform, it is thanks to your support that i feel i can keep my motivation! i adore the comments on his main story (among others of course). and also, to the regular commenters, i see you. i always look forward to seeing what you’ll say and you guys give me so much motivation. i really don’t know how i can express the amount of appreciation in words, but thank you.

🗝️🤍 21 (BlindLove) His Side story 𝜗𝜚 cw — mention of drugs and suicide, thoughts of sexual assault.
——Darius' POV——
[BLACK]
The gulls are flying in the sky.
[VOGEL SHIP - OUTDOOR DECK - NIGHT]
Darius: …
Unaware of what had happened in England, a pair of gulls were frolicking about.
As I looked up at them, I was vaguely thinking whether they were mates.
(A lot happened since this morning.)
From the accident that went down during the joint practice to the plan to capture Crown— or rather, the supposed plan,
because for some reason, I had ended up bringing Kate here instead.
Unable to come up with any explanation for my own actions, I found myself deep in thought when I finally managed to get some free time.
(I had always never cared what happened to the likes of human lives.)
After all, humans were shallow, ugly creatures.
They would betray others at the drop of a hat, play victim without guilt, rule over others, and hurt their own kind.
I hated them so much— I would even go as far to say that humans were the most unsightly beings in the world.
And yet— I found myself choosing a human's life over that of Cursed ones.
I found her annoying, I couldn't believe her, I had thought over and over I should have just killed her, and yet—
I had chosen her.
(…And I couldn't see this future.)
The fact that I couldn't see it, even though it was the worst choice in all angles, meant that maybe it wasn't the "worst" to anybody.
(If I saw what I perceived to be the worst future…I would definitely avoid it.)
It didn't matter if I touched Kate, Nica, Ring, or every member of Vogel.
The fact I couldn't see the worst future where she was here…annoyed me, truly.
(It's all Kate's fault anyway, since she went and did all that.)
What came up next was my displeasure toward Kate, who was still sleeping in the room.
——Narration——
[CROWN CASTLE - FOREST - MONOCHROME]
At that time, that moment…
Her hands that held the knife were trembling.
(It hardly seemed like she would be able to take her own life.)
The others were laughing, nobody taking her seriously.
But— I had realized the blade was in a bad position.
(At that time, Kate had placed it right over her carotid artery.)
(She herself may not have realized, but if she made one wrong step, the wound would be fatal.)
At worst— she could have died by now.
——End narration——
[VOGEL SHIP - OUTDOOR DECK - NIGHT]
That was why I had her inhale that drug, so she wouldn't cause any more havoc. That said—
(I should've just pretended not to realize.)
If only I had ignored the blade's position and just left like that.
After all— from the start, I had never seen the worst future where she took her own life.
(…Well this is frustrating.)
Was that toward myself, or toward Kate and her reckless actions?
I didn't know, but at any rate I felt beyond frustrated as I turned on my heel in irritation.
When I did, some humans of Vogel approached.
Vogel member: Director, thank you for your work. Do you have a bit of time?
The men dragged along the ground as they came, and though I felt fed up, I gave them a smile.
Darius: …Could you keep it short and sweet for me?
At my words the men became restless as they smiled at each other and opened their mouths.
Vogel member: You brought a woman here, didn't you? We heard she was a civilian.
Darius: That she is. And what of it?
Vogel member: Well, um…we were wondering if she wasn't yours already, if we could do what we liked with her?
(…There it is, those lust-driven, inferior humans.) <(ㅍ _ㅍ)>
It was all too common among the military and somewhat large all-male households.
A restrictive lifestyle that was full of rules caused stress to build up, and so these men would seek respite by seeking out women.
If they didn't at least somewhat let out their pent-up feelings, the soldiers' motivation would go down,
so as director, I'd periodically let them do as they wished or assigned them a partner to raise organization's spirits.
(And with how we're in this small boat, an endless tension with a large country, plans failing, among other things…)
It was probably natural for them to want to distract themselves.
However—
Darius: …Kate is my pet.
I had no intention of giving her away.
Vogel member: W-we know! But that woman has good looks, and she's sleeping anyway due to the drug, right?
Vogel member: So we figured now would be the time to do what we wanted. You know?
Seeing him turn to the other men for affirmation, I thought of a gull's nature then.
(Gulls are omnivorous, devouring any food they can get in flocks before leaving.)
Much like— the men before my eyes.
[BLACK]
And the moment I thought of Kate getting dirtied by the likes of these guys— made me want to throw up.
[VOGEL SHIP - OUTDOOR DECK - NIGHT]
Darius: I'll say it one more time then. She is my pet.
When they saw my smile vanish from my face, they let out a gasp.
Vogel member: S-sorry about that. We've overstepped—
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
That moment, I slammed my cane on the railing.
Vogel members: —!!
Darius: …Do you really think the likes of you lot could lay a hand on the one I went out of my way to bring here?
Their expressions were filled with a fear I had never seen up until now, but still, I didn't stop.
Darius: You guys will tell every single one— that Kate is mine.
Darius: I will not allow a single person whatsoever to touch her. If anyone dares to even brush a hair against her—
Darius: I will sink every last one of you in this sea.
[BLACK → VOGEL SHIP - CORRIDOR - NIGHT]
(Ahh, I'm so frustrated.)
Hitting the walls along the corridor, I walked my way to the room she was sleeping in.
When those around me saw me in the state I was in, they looked scared and troubled—
[VOGEL SHIP - BEDROOM - NIGHT]
Darius: It's your fault all my plans fell apart.
[BLACK]
—but Kate, though surprised, was the only one who looked at me with eyes that seemed to sparkle with happiness.

𝜗𝜚 cw — brief mentions of self-harm and drugs, strangulation.
[BLACK]
My eyes felt all too heavy.
[EYES OPEN → VOGEL SHIP - BLUE ROOM - NIGHT]
(Where am I…)
I slowly opened my eyes to find myself lying on the bed in an unfamiliar room.
(My body…feels heavy.)
Fatigue hit my whole body, I put energy into hoisting my body up.
I went off the bed and tried to stand…but my legs felt weak, and I could barely walk.
(I was made to smell something when I got captured…is it because of whatever that is?)
I leaned against the wall, recalling the events from before I lost consciousness, when all of a sudden from out the window—
Kate: Wha…
[OCEAN - NIGHT]
I saw the ocean— stretching out endlessly in all directions.
(—We're on the sea!?)
Leaning against the window and once again looking out, I confirmed that the only thing really stretching out before me was the night sea.
At some point I realized the ground was swaying somewhat…when the door flew open.
[VOGEL SHIP - BLUE ROOM - NIGHT]
Nica: Ah, you're up. Hi hii, Spatzi.
Kate: Nica…Ring…
Nica: Whoa, you sure seen better days. Is the drug still in your system?
Nica pulled on my arm, bringing me back to the bed.
Kate: Where is this, what happened…
Ring: We're on a boat that Germany's military uses, and you were brought here by Dari.
Ring closed the door and sat on a nearby chair.
Nica: He had said he was going to get Crown and bring them here, so imagine my surprise when he brought a robin back here instead.
Nica sat beside me on the bed, letting out a troubled sigh.
Nica: Say, did you hear what went down during the joint practice?
Kate: Just that England's navy attacked Germany's boat, and that there were fatalities…
Nica: Yep, the cannonball England used ended up hitting Germany's ship.
——Narration——
[LONDON - BEACH SHORE - DAY]
According to Nica, the cannonball that England launched had hit Germany's ship, which was in its direct trajectory,
which then resulted in deaths.
Thankfully help came quickly, so the casualties were kept to a minimum,
but even so, chaos ensued from the some tens of deaths that came out of it.
[LONDON - PORT - DAY]
Victor, along with England's military, tried to calm the situation down.
That said, Germany wasn't inclined to listen…
——End narration——
[VOGEL SHIP - BLUE ROOM - NIGHT]
Nica: And the higher ups in there were all speaking up like, "So this is a declaration of war against Germany."
Nica: So a war's on the verge of breaking out now. Pretty bad, huh.
Nica: At any rate, both countries are out at sea glaring at each other as we speak.
Nica: And this ship is a part of that too.
(Wow, so all that happened…)
I was at a loss for words, when all of a sudden I remembered when I had suspected Darius before I lost consciousness.
Kate: So did Darius have anything to do with this too…?
Nica blinked at my words before giving a wry smile.
Nica: So you'd think, right? I did too. But at least this time, he didn't do anything.
Kate: Huh…
Nica looked over at Ring, who continued from there with a troubled look.
Ring: The one who took the wheel on England's ship ended up getting sniped in the head right before.
Kate: —!?
Ring: It was because of that the trajectory was off, and the cannonball ended up hitting Germany's ship instead.
Ring: Dari never made such orders. It was probably the work of someone else, who wanted to break down the relationship between both countries.
(So, it isn't…Darius' fault…)
That made me somewhat relieved, although right after a new doubt bubbled up.
Kate: But then, who was responsible for that?
The twins exchanged a look.
Nica: …Someone who probably wanted to bring a leaning "scale" back to the center.
Kate: Huh?
Nica: Nothing. Anyway, Germany wasn't behind the assassination.
Nica: If anything, we're the victims. I think whoever was the assassin wanted to push the responsibility on us though.
(Who would do such a thing…)
It seemed the two knew something…but they didn't indulge me in any more.
Ring: …Dari had intended from the start to capture Crown during the joint practice.
Nica: But the fiasco that went down during the practice was all unplanned.
Nica's words…made me regret that I had doubted Darius even more.
(But, thinking on all the things he did up until now, it really couldn't be helped…)
Even so, though, I was the one who said I wanted him to believe me, only for me to doubt him directly.
I felt guilty not being able to believe in Darius as I gripped my skirt.
Nica, unable to continue watching, lightly poked my hand.
Nica: Even so, to think Dari would give up on Cursed ones to bring you instead. (˵ ¬ᴗ¬˵)
Nica: Just what sort of tricks did you have up your sleeve, huh?
Kate: That…
I filled the two in on what happened, and while Ring blinked, Nica started laughing while holding his stomach.
Nica: AHAHA— oh, you're really something else, Spatzi! To do all that to Dari—
Ring: I'm impressed you're still okay. Because, well, because it's Dari, I thought…
Kate: …I also thought it wouldn't work out.
I didn't think Darius would fall for me putting my life on the line,
but I purposely held onto hope, and I just went for it.
But, when Darius put a Cursed one and my life on a scale, he ended up choosing me.
The situation wasn't so ideal, but that truth made me so happy…my lips fell into a smile.
Nica: … (O_O)
Nica: Spatzi, you…
Kate: Yes, what is it?
Man's voice: Apologies for interrupting, but Mister Nica, may I have a bit of your time?
Just then, I heard a voice calling out to Nica from outside.
Nica: Actually, it's nothing. See you later~
Nica never finished what he was about to say as he left the room.
Ring stayed, looking a tad awkward.
Kate: …What happened to Crown?
His expression shifted at my words into something more earnest as he started speaking.
Ring: The three who got attacked are fine. I heard none got injured.
Ring: It's just Vogel got heavily rebuked for what happened to them, so that's why we are away from the palace.
Ring: And while this goes without saying…how relations will go is beyond us.
Hearing the three were fine, I felt relieved when, at the next moment—
I realized the bridge between Crown and Vogel had long been burnt.
(The things that Vogel…or rather, Darius did would not be forgiven.)
But even so, I didn't know what to do to improve the situation.
Ring: So I think Crown won't be able to point fingers at us or lay a hand on us.
Kate: What do you mean by that?
Ring pointed at me.
Ring: Because you became a hostage.
Kate: Huh…?
Ring averted his gaze at my surprise to stare out the window, only moving his mouth.
Ring: When Dari brought you here, this is what he said—
Ring: "If you intervene with what Vogel does, I'll kill her."
Ring: So they didn't make any move. Because…they really care for you.
When I put the knife to my neck, I thought this was all I could do to stop Darius' actions.
(I couldn't do anything but bet my own life for the three's release…)
With a look of slight guilt, Ring stood up.
Ring: We told Crown that you're doing fine for the most part.
Ring: But whether you're let go…depends on Dari.
Ring left the room after Nica…leaving me in the room, staring dazedly at the closed door.
I felt my whole body go pale as a wave of regret hit me.
Kate: …It's my fault.
[BLACK]
The moment those words came out of my mouth, tears were on the verge of falling.
——Flashback——
[CROWN CASTLE - FOREST - DAY]
Darius: So, do you have what it takes to be my pet for life?
When I put the knife to my neck, that was what Darius asked me.
Kate: —Yes. I do.
At that time I had been lost in the moment, so I nodded, thinking if I hesitated in answering for even a moment, he would take the three away.
But…
Darius: Even if I kill you on a whim? Even if I continue saying I can't believe you until you die?
Darius: You might be treated like a tool in bed; your body and heart might break from "comforting" many humans.
Darius: Even then, are you saying you would sacrifice yourself to protect them?
——End flashback——
[VOGEL SHIP - BLUE ROOM - NIGHT]
Thinking back on it now, I might have made the wrong choice.
And if this was the result of that…oh, how foolish I must have been.
(It's just as Darius said.)
Just as he had often said, humans were foolish creatures, and I came to belatedly realize now that I was yet another one of those.
(And it's because everyone cares for me…that they couldn't do anything.)
We had only been together for a month, but Crown had treated me well.
And I, too, had fun spending time with them…perhaps I shouldn't have grown as close to them as I did.
I had taken action to save the three, and yet as a result I had ended up causing trouble to them.
(Was everything I did a mistake…)
I felt guilt, regret, and helplessness close in on me.
Even so, though, Darius remained in my mind's eye—
[BLACK]
Darius had chosen my life; he chose not to throw it away.
That truth made my heart race, even in the worst situation, but at the same time I felt my guilt intensify.
[VOGEL SHIP - BLUE ROOM - NIGHT]
I felt happy, and yet the lack of control I had pained me as I let out a sigh.
All of a sudden, my head raised at the sudden loud sound I heard.
(Wait what, what was that sound!?)
It sounded like someone was hitting a wall, and as it came closer, I—
[1] Pretend to sleep.
[2] Grab a chair to fight back.
[3] Call out. (+4/+4)
Kate: I-is someone there?
??? (Darius): …
Kate: …Darius, is that you?
??? (Darius): …Ugh, you're so annoying, could you not say my name right now? I'm beyond frustrated.
The door opened with force— and there he stood, looking at me with a cold gaze.
Darius: It's your fault all my plans fell apart.
Seeing that quiet expression filled with rage, I was on the verge of backing away, but I somehow managed to hold back the urge and call out his name.
Kate: Darius.
He couldn't conceal his irritation, and hearing his name made his expression more severe.
Darius: I don't remember ever giving you permission to speak. Ahh, but I can allow it, if you don't use any human words.
Darius: See, just like your oh-so-beloved robin. How about you chirp and twitter pii, pii too?
Darius: I'll just kill you the moment I think you're getting noisy though.
I then saw the twins from behind Darius.
I held onto a small hope that they would help me out of this,
but Nica raised both his hands with a light smile before grabbing Ring's arm and leaving.
(They ran away…!)
Darius, who saw me looking at a different place, shot a glare my way.
Darius: And where do you think you're looking? I'm literally right in front of you.
Kate: Ah…um, you know, behind you…
Darius: Yeah, where the twins were. And what of it? Even if they were there, what reason is that to look away from me?
He walked straight toward me before grabbing my cheeks.
Kate: —!
Darius: Look at me. I'm the one who's talking to you now.
His words seemed to contain some obsession, and while that scared me, it also made my heart race—
Kate: …I've always looked at nobody but you.
I stared back at Darius' honey-colored eyes, and after furrowing his brows, he looked fed up.
Darius: No, that's not what I'm saying. Don't bother buttering up to me either.
Kate: I wasn't really trying to do that.
Darius: You're on the sea with nowhere to run, taken here as a hostage, in a ship with nobody but strangers.
Darius: And yet you seem to happily wag your tail at finding me…that's just weird.
(W-weird, he says…)
I was a little shocked, but Darius continued.
Darius: Ahh, but that shallow mindset would probably be fitting of a human.
Darius: I mean, you thought nobody would lay a hand on you, did you?
Kate: What, no…
Darius: No matter what happens to you, Crown won't come. In this boat, no matter what happens, they'll never come to know.
Darius: So unless it's life-threatening, there's no problem whatever you end up going through, now is there?
Darius: After all, you were the one who nodded along to being my pet for life.
His hand that had grabbed my chin slipped down to grab my neck.
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Kate: —!
With a bright smile, Darius put his other hand on the ribbon of my blouse.
Darius: And that would include if you got disgraced to the fullest, if you had a mental breakdown, or if you were unable to move again.
Darius: If the owner wishes for it, the pet has no choice but to obey.
And then, the hand around my neck tightened.
Darius: Since it's all your fault that everything fell apart.

Roger: Alright, to anyone who hasn't been touched by Kate yet, line up in a single file.
William: Haha, you're like a celebrity, Kate.
Nica: Come on, Ring, you line up too. You want a turn too, don't you? You're like an open book.
Ring: D-don't push, Nica— (O_O)
Roger: Lil lady, can you touch parts of the body you haven't yet touched?
Roger: And as for the ones on the receiving end, put your feelings to words and report to me.
Ring: …I feel like it's really becoming an experiment.
Nica: I mean, it's not like we're making a mistake or comitting the sin. What a win, am I right?
Kate: Then, is everyone ready? Who wants to go first?
Roger: Then Jude, if you will.
Jude: Why me? Do I look like I'm linin' up?
Roger: Don't go making yourself an exception on your own…Ellis.
Ellis: Okay.
Jude: —!? Ellis, ya damn traitor… (O_O)
Ellis: Sorry, Jude. Roger said he would treat me to steak, so.
Harrison: So you betrayed him because of a slab of meat?
Ring: I-I thought Crown got along well…
Elbert: We are not on terrible terms, but there are times depending when other things take priority over each other, I suppose…
Alfons: You make us sound like a good-for-nothing bunch when you put it like that.
Roger: Now hold him by the arms from behind. Go on now, lil lady, do your thing.
Kate: Don't worry, it won't hurt…
Jude: …That's gonna be a million pounds each time.
Victor: I can cover the cost as long as it's within 20 million. ദ്ദി ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )
Nica: Damn, he's really sounding like Dari, huh. Rich people are so scary~
Kate: I'm scared he'll bite at me if I touch anywhere above the arms, so I'll go with the stomach…I'll turn your shirt over a little, okay…
[TOUCH: JUDE'S STOMACH]
Jude: …Ahh, yeah, yeah, feels good, feels good.
Roger: Well that's a pretty sour reaction. Did it really work?
Kate: I'm not too sure…
Ellis: Don't give up, Kate. You can touch and pat him more.
Jude: Oy, quit eggin' her on, ya damn twit.
Kate: Touch and pat I will…
[TOUCH: JUDE'S STOMACH]
Jude: …!
Roger: Oh, that one seemed real. So the stomach works too…okay. Ellis, you can let go.
Ellis: Okayy.
Jude: Tch…I'll shove so much work down yer arse ya won't even think about a slab o' steak. (ꐦ¬_¬)
Ellis: Hehe, I better do my best to finish then.
Kate: Who's next?
Roger: Let's see…I think it'll be most effective if you do me next, so I have something to compare to for the others.
Roger: With that, go on and touch me, lil lady.
Harrison: What the— when did you strip? (O_O)
Roger: How about a rub on the chest?
Kate: I-I won't rub it! Just touching…here.
[TOUCH: ROGER'S CHEST]
Roger: …Hm…mm—
Roger: Elevated sensation, rise in heartrate. …Aroused state causing oversensitivity too.
Roger: Similar to feeling tipsy from booze…but rather than dulled senses, it feels more like instincts stirring up, consuming any thought.
Roger: Haha— I can see it…it's like an addictive pleasure, yeah?
Nica: Heyy, aren't you taking too long? I want to feel good too.
Kate: Wah—
Nica: Hey, come and touch me, Spatzi. Anywhere you'd like.
Kate: Umm, what haven't we done yet…I suppose the legs.
Nica: Wha— so you're saying to take my pants off? No way, you naughty Spatzi, you. (O_O)
Kate: No! I just…well, you do have a point. How can we do the legs…
Roger: He can just take off his belt and you can reach inside.
Kate: WHAT!?
Nica: So, it really is naughty. Not that I mind though. There, done.
Nica: Stick it in.
Kate: T-then…excuse me—
[TOUCH: NICA'S LEG]
Nica: …! Whoa—
Nica: …This is pretty intense…it's like Kate's holding my entire consciousness after pulling it out.
Roger: So the lower body has an effect, too, huh.
Ring: I-is this okay to do in front of other people…!? (⸝⸝๑﹏๑⸝⸝)
Alfons: Do you truly feel the need to cover your face with both your hands when you can see perfectly well in between your fingers?
Nica: Ring, you join in too. It's really good.
Ring: WHA…!?!??
Kate: So…the arms haven't been touched yet, right…?
Ring: T-the arms…? Arms…
Ring: If it's just the arm…
Ring: It should be fine…I'm ready…!!
Ellis: Is he going to lose his arm or something? (O_O)
William: He does give off such spirit.
Kate: Then, don't mind if I do…
[TOUCH: RING'S ARM]
Ring: Uh… mn…
Ring: …it…
Kate: "It"…? Did it hurt?
Ring: …it feels good…p…please do more…
Jude: One touch and he's down bad.
Roger: He looks like a dog with the way he sticks his stomach out the moment he receives pats. Practically a mirror image of Ale.
Kate: Now the ones who haven't been touched are…
Harrison: Me and Will and…I guess Victor too. But we'll run out of places to touch by then.
Harrison: Head, face, neck, chest, stomach, arms, legs…all of them work, end of experiment. We can call it a day then, right?

𝜗𝜚 from the surprise bag 2026 story set sale. victor and darius body swap .ᐟ cw — near sexual assault.
[PALACE - STUDY ROOM - DAY]
Darius (Victor): Wowie! To think I had looked this stunningly dapper!
As Victor, who was in Darius' body, cracked a joke…
Victor (Darius): Ugh, this is the worst, out of literally all the people to switch with…
Victor (Darius): Why couldn't I have been the one to switch with William? Because by now I would've—
…Darius continued to grumble complaints.
(So, Darius and his never-seen-before excitement is Victor…)
(And Victor, who seemed so irritated it was hard to believe, is Darius…?)
As I looked between the two I tried to wrap my head around the situation…but it was a struggle.
Darius (Victor): Being stuck like this forever wouldn't be so good now.
At his words, Darius grabbed his shoulder and shook him.
Victor (Darius): I will not tolerate that one bit. Bring me back to normal right now. Isn't there some way to undo this?
Darius (Victor): Well, last time this happened because of Roger, but this time is different so I'm not sure. Ahh, and stop shaking me around if you could~!
Victor's neck wobbled back and forth as he let out a helpless plea.
Seeing that, Darius made a disgusted face before letting go.
Victor (Darius): Could you not make such a pathetic face with my body? I'm getting embarrassed just looking at you.
Darius (Victor): Then don't do something so violent…
Victor started to make a show of crying, making him look more pitiable, so in a panic I rubbed his shoulder.
Kate: I-it'll be alright, Victor. I'm sure things will turn out okay!
Darius (Victor): (╥﹏╥)…Kate…
Victor (Darius): And like I said before, stop with that fake crying to pull on her heartstrings, and stop with that shrewdness.
Perhaps at the peak of his irritation, Darius grabbed a pair of scissors nearby.
Victor (Darius): If you're going to keep going with that, then I got ideas of my own.
Darius (Victor): W-wait, don't tell me…are you planning to cut my beautiful, luscious hair!?
Darius grabbed his long hair, purposely moving the scissors closer and snipping them.
Victor (Darius): I hear you go through grueling care every single day to grow out this hair of yours.
Victor (Darius): And as for me, I happen to love it the most— the moment I destroy something that took so much time and effort.
Darius (Victor): N-no, stop this! If you do such a thing nobody will recognize me anymore!
Kate: Even with short hair I would still recognize you…but still, don't cut his hair!
I snatched the scissors in a panic, to which Darius looked fed up with it all as he sat in a chair.
Victor (Darius): Out of all days, why today…
Victor followed suit, and facing each other, they grabbed their heads.
And I was in between, hiding the scissors behind my back.
Kate: Is something going on today?
The two looked at each other.
Victor (Darius) & Darius (Victor): A party.
——Narration——
[PALACE - BALL ROOM - NIGHT]
Tonight, there were plans for Victor and Darius to attend the party that would be held in the palace.
It was for the nobles of England and visitors of other countries to gather,
with the goal of exchanging both politics and culture.
And thus, naturally the Queen's Aide and the director of Vogel would be expected to attend…
——End narration——
[PALACE - STUDY ROOM - DAY]
(They switched on such an important day…!?)
There was still time before the party started, but there was no way to tell if they'd return to normal by then.
Victor (Darius): I don't suppose we can just say we're not going to attend.
Darius (Victor): Highly doubtful. Aside from you, I most definitely have to be there.
Victor (Darius): So basically, I can't avoid this because I'm in your body…oh well.
Darius let out a resigned sigh before straightening his posture a bit.
Victor (Darius): We've got no choice but to cooperate and act each other out until the party ends.
Darius (Victor): It would probably spell out more trouble if we spilled the truth…so yes, just for a few hours, we can only hide it.
The conversation settled nicely, and just when I let out a sigh of relief—
Victor (Darius): Ahh, and you participate too.
Kate: Huh?
Darius suddenly pointed at me, and gave a broad smile at my surprise.
Victor (Darius): I was thinking of doling out the role of supporting us as we've swapped.
Victor (Darius): And besides…since you're so good-natured, you would never just leave us to our own devices, now would you?
When I looked at Victor…he made an apologetic face before dipping his head.
Darius (Victor): If you're alright with it, of course, would you be willing to cooperate with us?
To my right I felt pressure and my left a pleading look, and unable to reject them, I gave a firm nod.
Kate: Leave it to me. I'll support you two!
[BLACK]
Thus, the mission to hide Victor and Darius' swap kicked off.
[PALACE - INNER CORRIDOR - DAY]
We decided to hold a strategic meeting in an inconspicuous place,
and so we were heading toward Victor's office…or that was the plan.
Darius (Victor): Huh, is Darius not here?
All of a sudden we couldn't see Darius anywhere, so we went back the way we came in a panic.
And that was when I saw a long, black-haired man surrounded by people…
Victor (Darius): Hey, you there. Come bring some snacks to my office later. The ones from Germany, of course.
Victor (Darius): You can leave this check in Darius Vogel's room. It's money straight from my pocket.
Victor (Darius): I'll be taking this document, thank you. About palace security? No need for that much. Let's loosen that up more.
Victor (Darius): Oh, it's already been decided? …Hmm, so you have objections to my word. Then as of today, you're fire— mmgh—
I covered Darius' mouth in haste before saying a lie.
Kate: H-he's just been so busy with work, he's hardly had time to sleep! He looks quite tired, doesn't he!
When I said that, Victor grabbed Darius in a Nelson hold.
Victor (Darius): Wha—
Darius (Victor): My goodness, Victor, that just won't do! You said you were going to take a sound nap until the party, didn't you?
Darius (Victor): Come on now, off we go. And to all of you guys, what he said was all a joke so just forget about it!! Until next time!
While pulling a resistant Darius, we left the corridor.
Kate: You were trying to stir up trouble in Victor's body, weren't you…?
Victor (Darius): I was just having a bit of fun. It's just they kept reaching out to me, and it got to be annoying, so…
Victor (Darius): I was thinking of firing them all, in succession, that's all.
Darius (Victor): Oh, no, I definitely can not leave you alone! I'm taking you like this!
[BLACK]
After that, Darius tried to do more bad things in Victor's body,
which caused both me and Victor to hold our heads in our hands, but—
[PALACE - BALL ROOM - NIGHT]
Victor (Darius): Thank you very much for your hard work. Allow me to express my gratitude, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen.
Darius (Victor): Ahh, thanks for taking care of that matter. I think you did a pretty good job with it.
(T-they're perfect…)
At the party venue, I watched the two's backs.
Just a few hours before, I was left wondering if things would really be any semblance of alright, but now the two were acting each other out perfectly.
And even I, who knew the two were swapped, couldn't help but wonder if they had really swapped at all.
(A lot of things went on…but I feel at this rate the party will end safely.)
Just then, I noticed Victor drop a glove, so I picked it up and gave it to him.
Kate: Vi— D-Darius, here, you dropped this.
Darius (Victor): Thank you.
As he took back the glove, his hand touched mine.
When he did, Victor's eyes widened, and he stiffened in surprise.
(Is something the matter?)
But before I could question him, an attendee came up and started talking with him.
(Will I get in the way if I stay?)
[BLACK]
I left the venue and decided to go the balcony for some fresh air.
[PALACE - BALCONY - NIGHT]
As the night breeze hit me, I looked out, when I heard someone's footsteps approaching me.
England parliament member: Pardon, would you happen to be an acquaintance of the Queen's Aide and that guest from Germany?
The man who suddenly called out to me was a parliament member I had seen countless times before in the palace.
Kate: …Is there anything you need from me?
The man gradually closed the distance between us, while I stepped back, raising my guard.
When I did, the man looked me up and down before he sneered as if looking down on me.
England parliament member: I had heard you were a mere commoner, but did you butter up to them using your womanly wiles?
Kate: Wha—
England parliament member: How about you give me a taste of that too? From a commoner woman.
My back hit a wall, leaving me with no room to escape.
The man wore a vulgar smile as he reached out towward me, when—
Darius (Victor): Your ability's incredible. I really could see the future.
Victor (Darius): Don't just use it on your own. But, well, since it could prevent the future where Kate got assaulted, I guess in the end it was for the better.
The two came in the balcony, shooting the man with cold gazes.
England parliament member: Ah, t-this isn't what you think it is!
The man jumped, his attitude shifting in an instant, but…the two had no intention of letting this go.
Darius (Victor): Her Majesty the Queen has caught wind that you embezzled government funds and made money through illegal means, you see.
Darius (Victor): We've received orders to condemn you as soon as possible, as our country has no need for those who dabble in illegal activities.
I looked over at Darius in surprise, to which he gave a beaming smile.
Victor (Darius): Not only that, your fiancée's father was aiming for a well-known affluent person from Germany to advance himself in the political sphere.
Victor (Darius): You allegedly gave the embezzled money to your father-in-law, and by making him into a political figure, you were promised compensation in turn.
England parliament member: H-how did you…
While the man was at a loss of words, I ran over to the two of them.
Darius (Victor): I've been told that your relatives here in England have been detained. As will your fiancée's family in Germany.
Victor (Darius): You've nowhere to run anymore now.
The two hid me behind their backs and exchanged a look— before they gave a bright smile.
Victor (Darius) & Darius (Victor): "Now then, it's time for judgment." "Now then, it's time for a purge."
[BLACK → PALACE - BALL ROOM - NIGHT]
After the man was judged, I returned to the dance hall with the two.
It would seem Victor had conducted fraud investigations before,
and Darius, too, had investigated his fiancée's family and was thinking of purging them.
Although the two were going to judge him after the party,
Darius' ability had coincidentally activated when he took the glove,
which caused Victor to see a future where I got assaulted by that man.
And so they moved their plan up, choosing to judge him in the venue.
(A lot of things piled up, but it's good things turned out well in the end…)
Now, if the two could go back to normal, then all's well that ends well. Just when I thought this, two hands reached out to me.
Darius (Victor): Now then, with that problem out of the way, may I ask for a dance, Kate, now that we're here?
Victor (Darius): I'll be the one to dance with Kate. Come on now, take my hand now.
Kate: W-what!?
I stood there troubled, and with smiles on their faces their shoulders pushed against each other's.
Darius (Victor): You do know this is a party organized by England, Darius.
Victor (Darius): And don't you think the guests should be prioritized here then?
As an argument started to brew between them, I tried to stop them in a panic by taking a step forward, but—
Kate: You guys, please sto— ah.
I stepped on my dress, causing my body to keel forward.
The two leaned in to save me, but then that caused them to bump their heads.
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Darius: Ouch—
Victor: —! (O_O)
Kate: Are you guys alright!?
I reached out to the two of them, raising my head in haste.
But the two blinked repeatedly before looking down at their own bodies—
Victor: Wait, could it be…
Darius: We're back to normal?
Kate: Whaaat!?
(So you're telling me they went back to normal because their heads bumped together!?)
I blinked, unable to conceal my sirprise, but I patted my chest in relief at this strange situation finally having come to an end.
Kate: With this it's case closed…
Victor and Darius stared at one another before smiling my way—
Victor: Then, once again, let us dance together!
Darius: That's not happening, since you will be dancing with me.
The once again said what they had said before, and I ended up bursting into laughter.
(I feel like these two might actually be quite similar.)
I took both of their hands, a corner of my lips raising.
Kate: Let us do a three-way dance!
[NIGHT SKY]
After that, apparently Victor got treated with more caution from the servants,
while Darius had been reached out to more often…
[BLACK]
So it would be safe to say that the harmful effects of the swapping lasted for quite a while thereafter.

Kate: C-could it be I'm gaining an ability of my own…?
Harrison: No, we can't fully rule out the possibility something abnormal happened to Liam and Alfons.
Roger: Or rather, that seems like the more likely case. Do you guys remember ingesting any strong drugs, booze, or something other?
Alfons: Oh, please, you speak as though we normally dabble into these shady things.
Liam: I can't think of anything that could cause this, at least. I didn't go on a night outing with Al either.
Darius: Can't you just test it with other people? Go on now, try and touch me.
[TOUCH: DARIUS' CHEEK]
Kate: Wah…ah, Darius, your cheeks are so soft…
Nica: You must be pretty bold if those are the first thoughts that pop up in your head.
Ring: So Dari's cheeks are soft…I didn't know that…
Darius: Mm… (︶︿︺)
Kate: H-how is it…?
Darius: ……I don't know, so could you touch me more?
Jude: Ain't no way you're sayin' "I don't know" while gettin' all chummy with her. I bet you're lyin' through your arse.
Victor: Hold please! Coercing Kate to touch you against her will is forbidden within the palace walls!
Nica: But, with this at least we know Kate's pretty much the cause of all this, yeah?
Ring: Yeah…I can't imagine Dari's the type to turn strange from things like drugs or alcohol.
Kate: R-really…are you guys teasing me?
Ellis: Hey, Kate…could I get some touches?
Kate: Uh, now that it's come to this, we've got no choice but to repeat the test. So, sure! Where do you want to be touched!?
Roger: That response doesn't have a drop of appeal.
Alfons: Talk about desperate.
Ellis: Umm…then, how about my chin?
Kate: Okay then, don't mind if I do.
[TOUCH: ELLIS' CHIN]
Ellis: Mn…hehe, ahh…it really does feel good.
Ellis: Why is that, I wonder…when touched like this, it's like Kate's becoming the only thing I see…
Kate: …Hehe, you're like a cat. Well, if you were a cat, you probably would be purring right about now though.
Ellis: Mm…I'm head over heels (♡´ ꒳ `♡)…
Ring: H-he's purring "I'm head over heels" now…!!! [1]
Harrison: What do you mean by "purring"? That's a human you're talking to.
Kate: Hands, head, cheeks, chin…so does that mean no matter where I touch, it makes the other feel good and become head over heels…?
Elbert: …So what does "head over heels" feel like?
Kate: Would you like me to try it on you, too, Elbert? Using my newfound ability…
Jude: Oy, she's really gettin' into this.
William: It's great that it's lively here.
Kate: Then, how about we take this opportunity to test if touching through clothing has the same effect?
Kate: I can touch around your chest. …Is that alright with you?
[TOUCH: ELBERT'S CHEST]
Elbert: …I do not feel much, I suppose.
Victor: So is that to say there's no effect on clothed areas?
Elbert: If that's the case…could you try touching my skin?
Kate: Alright then…how is this?
[TOUCH: ELBERT'S NECK]
Elbert: …! (O_O) Mm…ahh…if it's to the bare skin, it seems effective.
Elbert: …It feels good…so this is what "head over heels" is like…
Kate: I'm not sure why…but I feel like I'm doing something naughty…
Elbert: It's alright. …Don't hold back.
Harrison: Hey, hey, so I'm going to stop you right there. Don't go stripping down here.
Nica: Maybe he spent so much time with the shameless mirror man he got influenced?
Alfons: Well, that feeling's not lost on me. It's the kind of pleasure that becomes addictive after getting a taste of it, after all.
Darius: To make whoever you touch head over heels, that's like a Cursed ability in and of itself.
Kate: No way…so I've become Cursed!?
Jude: No way it's that simple.
Roger: While the cause is uncertain, it would seem the lil lady's hands have the ability to charm us.
Roger: Now, whether this only works on Cursed ones or not isn't certain…but it seems like something worth researching, isn't it?
Liam: Aha— Roger's eyes look serious.
Harrison: …This'll spell out trouble. I can feel it.
Roger: So, I'll be asking for everyone's cooperation to look into its cause and effects.

NOTES:
[1] Kate, Ellis, and Ring's lines rely on onomatopoeia, which — if you know anything about — is an extremely versatile device in Japanese that English simply can't capture well: Japanese onomatopoeia includes things like feelings and sensations as well, rather than purely auditory words. Kate uses the auditory word [ごろごろ] (goro-goro) to describe a cat's purring, to which Ellis responds with the titular [めろめろ] (mero-mero); this translates to the feeling of being "head over heels" among other definitions, e.g. being spellbound, emotionally far gone, etc. So, in parallel to a cat [ごろごろ]-ing, Ellis is [めろめろ]-ing. But because Ring's response, and Harrison's by extension, still treats [めろめろ] as an auditory onomatopoeia, rather than an emotional state, it starts to fall apart in English. Anyhow, the more actual or literal translation of his line would be something like "The [ごろごろ] turned into [めろめろ]…!!!" which would then explain Harrison's "that's a human you're talking about, [not a cat purring]."

——Noble's POV——
[BALLROOM - NIGHT]
I was the third son of a noble family, a devil-may-care playboy…or half of that at best.
My appearance was pretty normal, but my two older brothers had such good faces, I may as well have been a shadow.
Social standing wise, our family was on the better end. That said, things like succession were not of much importance.
Those noble ladies who only cared for looks and money wouldn't bother with someone like me.
And that was why I decided to use a weapon.
I would gift some liquor with a little drug mixed in, and I would let off steam when the noble ladies felt aroused.
With how shitty life was, I'd at least be excused of this much, wouldn't I.
(And so, tonight's target is this woman here.)
I had her drink a cocktail just a little bit ago with the drug mixed in, so the effects were probably getting to her little by little now.
Third son: Hey, you're Kate, aren't you? This party is getting rather boring, huh…what do you say we do something better together?
Kate: …And what is "something better"?
(Ohhh, she's so cute!)
(With how serious and earnest she looks, there's something pretty sexy about her.)
Third son: Say, haven't you felt in that mood for a while now?
Kate: That mood…?
Third son: Ahh, maybe you don't know? Don't you worry, I'll tell you every little thing about it. Come on over.
When I grabbed her wrist and pulled on it, the woman came along just like that, her step unsteady from the alcohol and drug.
[BLACK]
(All good, looks like tonight's going to be fun.)
[BEDROOM - NIGHT]
Kate: Aaahh! I'm being assaulted! Heeelp! ( ╹ -╹)
Third son: —Hey, you, quit shouting! Or wait, what's with that flat tone!?
When I brought her to a room, I didn't even have time to push her down when she suddenly started shouting.
(What's going on!? There's no way she can speak so clearly after intaking that drug…!)
Third son: Dammit— you, shut your mouth!
??? (Alfons): Now, now, could I trouble you not to touch her further? Not with such filthy hands.
Third son: Ahh—!?
Raven haired man: Unfortunately that lady over there hasn't drunk a drop of that drug, you see.
Third son: What!?
All of a sudden, a man with a face my brothers couldn't hold a candle to appeared before me.
As I was panicking, at some point Kate had slipped away to a place I couldn't reach.
Kate: We know about the evil things you've been doing using this here.
Third son: What do you mean "this"…ahh! My drug!
(Kate looks cute while proud like this too…wait, no!)
(W-who even is this guy anyway…!)
Kate: If you value your life, then surrender yourself, apologize to all the victims, with compensation!
Third son: Why should I care! They're the ones who let their guard down!
Third son: And besides, they all looked turned on! They did, to me! And you were trying to seduce me with that revealing dress too, weren't you!
Raven haired man: Well, I'll be, is that true, Kate? Quite the mean thing to do, having an affair.
Kate: N-no, I wasn't having an affair! Don't just trust whatever the criminal says!
Raven haired man: Is that so? Ahh, that said, if you feel unfulfilled in such a way then that would fall on my shoulders.
Kate: Ah— Alfons, what are you…we can't, in such a place…
(W-why are they making out right in front of me!?)
It would seem the woman I had my eye on was smitten by this man whose face said, "Yes, I am playing. So what?"
To hell with that bull! Just how unfair can this world get!!
Third son: Dammit…!
Though I bit my lip in frustration, I escaped in the midst of the situation— or, was about to.
Raven haired man: Whoops, my apologies.
Third son: Waahh!!?
I tripped over the man's ridiculously long foot that had extended out, causing me to take a glorious fall.
Raven haired man: Did you really think you could run away? Even though you tried to play with my adorable Kate?
With a forced smile plastered on his face and me on the floor, he stepped in between my legs.
Raven haired man: To think you can't feel any pleasure without relying on drugs, what an incredibly crude fellow you are, no?
As he stared pitifully in between my crotch, I felt blood boiling in my head.
Third son: H-how am I crude, huh! What can you say, those women also gasp and moan in pleasure too!
Third son: And what about you? You've got a pretty face and act all prim and proper, but you can't completely hide how lowly you are, can you?
Third son: Of course you'd be a sleazebag when you also deceive Kate on a whim and just play around—
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Before I could finish, my cheek got slapped with a clapping sound.
Kate: Alfons isn't someone who would hurt women just to fulfill his own desires. Unlike yourself.
Third son: Wha…!
(What, why…what's so different between this guy and me…!)
Tears of frustration wetted my eyes at having been slapped by a cute, sexy woman.
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Third son: Shit— you son of a bitch! Guagh—!?
As I spat out a barrage of insults out of desperation, this time a kick came plunging down.
Raven haired man: Calling her a "bitch" as you lacked anything better to say is going far, wouldn't you say?
Kate: That one just now looked quite painful.
Raven haired man: As it should be. And while we're at it, how about we bind him with a rope and drown him in the River Thames?
Kate: Of course not, we have to give him to the authorities! So we can get this person stripped of all their property and compensate the victims.
The two seemed to be polar opposites, and yet also perfectly in sync as they closed in from either side of me, leaving me pathetically backing away.
(T-these two…are bad news. They're definitely not normal!)
(I shouldn't have laid my hands on her…!)
Raven haired man: Hmm, well then…
Raven haired man: Well then, what say you to castrating this thing here, the cause of all evil?
Kate: That…might be good, actually.
Third son: S-STOOOP—!!
[WHITE]
—My consciousness cut off then.
And then I made a vow. That when I woke up, if my thing was still in tact, I would atone for all my sins—
——Kate's POV——
[RIVER THAMES - NIGHT]
Kate: He ended up fainting with his mouth foaming, huh.
Alfons: I reckon this world would be a better place had we actually castrated him though.
After we brought him over to the authorities, Alfons and I walked through the night city.
Then, suddenly, Alfons' gloved hand cupped mine.
Alfons: Your heroism truly knows no bounds, for you to slap him on my behalf.
Kate: That goes for you, too. I was happy you got mad on mine.
I intertwined my fingers with his, and Alfons gently returned the gesture.
The reason I hadn't felt any sense of danger tonight was because I trusted him.
If it was Alfons, he would never let any harm come my way.
(If I'm together with him, any situation can turn into a fun comedy.)
With a small tug on his hand, Alfons stopped in his tracks.
I straightened my posture before planting a kiss on his cheek.
Kate: I love you, Alfons.
Alfons: …Hehe.
Alfons: Let's head back quickly now.
Kate: Goodness, isn't this the time you should say, "I love you too"?
Alfons: Ahha! I know you know that's hardly within my character.
Alfons: So in place of whispering words of pure love— I'll do something that'll work much better than any medicine, okay?
With a more than happy smile, and a kiss from him…
[BLACK]
My pouting lips very soon formed into a smile as well.

[CROWN CASTLE FOREST - NIGHT]
To "treat" someone is to extend a hand [1] to heal any wounds or pains,
and it's said to be done largely on instinct.
A touch from a palm exuded warmth, and that alone would mysteriously bring about physical changes.
[BLACK]
Indeed, they could bring about surprising changes—
[PALACE - DINING ROOM - DAY]
Victor: And that's why I called you guys here: to do something about this mountain of LOVE to you guys!
Before us on the dining table was filled with letters and present boxes to the point the tablecloth couldn't be seen underneath.
All the called-in members of both Crown and Vogel, plus myself, were rendered speechless in a moment.
Kate: W-what's going on here…?
William: The cold has been spreading fast within the post responsible for sending mail from the palace to Crown Castle…
Liam: …so the letters and gifts addressed to us piled up over at the palace.
Harrison: And apparently Victor was so swamped he didn't find out until now.
As the three explained the situation, Victor nodded along next to them.
Kate: Um, I may be wrong…but could it be the sender of these letters think you guys reside at the palace?
Roger: That can't be. We have a dummy address.
Roger: The packages and letters delivered there then go through the palace before making their way to Crown Castle.
Ellis: It wouldn't be fun if they found out about Crown's existence, and that we work for it, after all.
Kate: I see, so there was such a process…and that resulted in them stacking at the palace.
Jude: Tch, so they're shirkin' on their work. What sorta post goes on break all at once?
Elbert: It must be a bad cold…I hope they recover soon.
Alfons: And so, that brings us here, to deal with this sheer all-out-war.
Victor: Right as can be. I was thinking it would be a positively fun blast if we all cleaned this up together!
Nica: With all of us gathered here? Isn't that counterproductive?
Ring: I-I don't know…I thought it wasn't a bad idea to have a positively fun blast…
Darius: Well, I don't normally do this sort of busywork under any and all circumstances…but if William's here I guess that would be a different story.
Darius: I'm pretty curious about the senders what they're giving and all.
William: A heart full of curiosity is a fine thing to have. Well then, shall we start?
With that, everyone started sorting through the mail.
Using what we had at our disposal to find the recipient, we dropped them into boxes with the respective name.
—The work was going smoothly, and just like that some hours passed.
Liam: Hey, Kate, could hand me the envelope over there?
Kate: Ah— alright. Hm? There's something in your hair, Liam.
Liam: Oh, really? Maybe it's something from the mail. …Around here?
Kate: Just a little up…ahh, it got even more tangled. If you don't mind, I could take it off?
Liam: Ahh, sorry then. Could you?
[TOUCH: LIAM'S HAIR]
Liam: Wah—!? (O_O)
Kate: Huh!?
It happened the moment my fingers touched his hair and started combing, trying to get whatever was in it off.
The room, which had been buzzing, fell into silence moments after the sweet voice reverberated.
Jude: …What was that just now?
Liam: S-sorry. It's just I felt my heart skip a beat or something when she touched me…
Jude: The hell?
Victor: Is…is it the season of love!?
Ring: I-it is!?
Harrison: Yeah, no, I don't think so.
Kate: H-have I become incredibly skilled with my hands all of a sudden, or…?
Jude: Ya only touched 'im fer a moment. Where'd that bucket load o' confidence come from?
Alfons: Why, things are getting quite interesting now. Miss Kate, go on and touch me too. ( ᵔ ᗜ ᵔ )
Alfons: I can give you my two cents on your technique and whatnot, as a seasoned veteran.
Roger: He's really into this idea.
Elbert: It seemed he was growing bored from the sorting work, so…
Alfons: Now, now, touch me any- and everywhere.
Kate: Well then, excuse me…
[TOUCH: ALFONS' EAR/TEMPLE]
Alfons: …Mm.
Alfons: Ah…ahh…I see now…?
Darius: What in the world am I looking at? Can I go back now?
William: Going back and leaving such a strange, amusing situation behind would be quite a waste, though, wouldn't you say?
Roger: I thought they started gasping as an exaggerated act…but those reactions give more credibility.
Alfons: I can for one affirm that for some reason it feels…really…good.
Liam: Right, right!? You know, like…feeling all head over heels and all.
Alfons: Indeed. It's like the tension leaves my body when she touched me…like becoming meek from pleasure…if I had to say.
Ring: M-meek…from pleasure…!?
Nica: Ring, don't go getting a nosebleed now.
Jude: This has got to be an act.
Elbert: No, the way Al reacted…
Harrison: Yeah. I'm about to say something frightening, but—
Harrison: None of them are lying.
Kate: Huh…
Everyone: WHAAAAAT!?

NOTES:
[1] Some of the nuance here is that the word for "treat (v.)" (i.e. a wound) in Japanese, [手当] (te-ate), contains two words, [手] (te), which means "hand", and [当てる] (ateru), which means to apply or put. So, in Japanese, they are saying [手当] comes from applying your hands to heal, and hence, "to treat" in English. This doesn't translate well between languages though (I did try to look into the etymology of "to treat" which could function as a sort of equivalent to what they had in Japanese, but the wording came out a bit awkward) so I'm opting to explain here instead.
hii friends! quick update that i plan on taking around a week or so off of darius main story before starting on his blind love branch 🙇🏻♀️ so i would say you can expect darius blind love chptr 21 anywhere from JUNE 2~5.

[BLACK]
Darius Vogel was a clingy devil.
[VOGEL BASE - MEETING ROOM]
Darius: And as for this incident—
In Vogel's strategic base, I was participating in the meeting.
In the midst of a serious discussion, Nica was looking my way from where he was sitting across, a grin plastered on his face,
while Ring seemed more anxious in contrast: looking here before averting his eyes, rinse and repeat.
Kate: Um…
Darius: Yes, what is it? Was there something you didn't get?
Kate: No, it's not exactly that…
Unable to bear this atmosphere any longer— I finally grabbed Darius' cheeks and voiced my objection.
Kate: Could you please let me down now…!?
Darius held me in his arms as I sat on his knees as the meeting progressed, and in response his brows furrowed for a moment.
——Flashback——
[PALACE - INNER CORRIDOR - DAY]
A few months had passed since I had covered for Darius and gotten injured.
Ever since then, he…had become very clingy.
Darius: I don't remember ever giving you permission to go out yourself.
Kate: Huh— I was just going to take a small stroll…but I'm sorry.
[PALACE - DARIUS' ROOM - MORNING]
Darius: Why're you getting out of bed…? I never allowed that.
Kate: I just wanted some water…but, sorry?
[LONDON - CITY STREET - DAY]
Darius: I said this before, didn't I? I don't remember allowing you to go off on your—
Kate: You do know I only let go of your hand for a moment, right!? See, aren't I right by your side!?
——End flashback——
[VOGEL BASE - MEETING ROOM]
…So on and so forth. I couldn't even count the times Darius had scolded me.
He was probably scared I would again injure myself at some point when he took his eyes off of me.
So, I did understand he was anxious…
(But at the very least, it would be alright to not be this attached to the hip during a meeting, right…?)
Darius: …Wow, so you're talking back to me?
Kate: I wouldn't exactly say that…but I was just thinking it was a bit strange to be so close together when we're not alone…
I was sitting atop his knees, his arms bounding me in place. The twins, looking at me with sympathetic eyes, stood up.
Nica: Well, looks like the meeting's over now, so we'll just be on our way.
Ring: Yeah. Um…so don't worry and be as close as you want.
Irritating the devil's mood would lead to trouble.
The twins knew that well, and so they left in haste.
Darius: That would take care of the "not being alone" part, so if you have any other gripes, I'll be listening.
As Darius wore a somewhat triumphant look, I let out a sigh and wrapped my arms around his neck.
Kate: As long as we're alone, I'm all good. It's just, I get embarrassed when others are also around…
Darius: Why though? Lovers are meant to be by each other's sides, right? (O_O)
Darius: And besides, if we touch each other in public, that would mean all the less scoundrels trying to get in between us.
Darius: This is the quickest way to let others know that you're mine.
It would apparently seem that he didn't find a single thing bad about this as he once again wrapped his arms around me and brought me closer.
Darius: That, and if we show off this far, you wouldn't be able to fool around with others or run away.
Kate: Not that I ever would do those things.
Darius: It's not about if you would or wouldn't do those things. I only care about eliminating the possibility at all.
His hand pulled up my skirt, all the while stroking my thigh.
My body twisted from the ticklish feelings, when his fingers stroked between my legs.
Kate: Eek…ngh…
I couldn't stop a moan from spilling, which seemed to satisfy Darius.
Darius: But I'll be sure to train you well so that you can't feel satisfied with anyone but myself, so I figure there'd be no use running anyhow.
His nails fondled with my sensitive area through my undergarments, causing a sweet pleasure to spread within me.
Kate: W-wait a minu…nghh—
I tried to stop Darius in a panic, but he didn't grant any respite as he stole my lips.
His tongue pushed into my mouth, very easily intertwining my tongue with his.
I tried my best to resist, but his body didn't respond in the slightest,
leaving me with little choice but to succumb to the melting kiss.
(We shouldn't do such things in a place like this…yet…)
The kisses rendered me breathless, and the sensation of the area between my legs grew more soaked…
Through my thin vision, I could see honey-colored eyes filled with desire—
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Kate: —!!
And at that moment, I felt my stomach throb, and my entire body shot up from pleasure.
Darius, having realized I had come undone, took off his gloves, slipped my undergarments off, and buried his finger inside my entrance.
Darius: I don't remember ever teaching you to come just from being looked at…where oh where did you learn such a thing?
Kate: Who else is there…but you…!
Darius: Mhm, I figured. If you had brought up anyone other than me, even as a joke, I'd never forgive you for life.
Kate: Mm…!?
He made me keep the hem of my skirt in my mouth, and I found myself kneeling on the couch.
As he stared at my now-exposed entrance, he started to move his finger inside me with a look of ecstasy.
Darius: Look at you, already a mess from just one finger in you. To think this excited for more.
Kate: Mm—
Though my mouth was about to let go of the skirt, he threw me a warning look.
And so, while trying my very hardest to keep my skirt in my mouth, I placed my hand on his shoulders and endured the pleasure.
Seeing me in such a state, Darius' smile was laced with mischief as he suddenly put more fingers inside and started to thrust.
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Kate: Mmh— ahh!!
An obscene sound resounded in the room, and the moment my head went blank— my mouth let go of my skirt.
Kate: Ah…ahh…
My knees were trembling as the nectar trickled down to the sofa.
(It got dirty…)
My eyes grew teary from the embarrassment, when a knock sounded at the door—
Nica: Hi, sorry, I forgot a document. Or are you guys getting busy in there?
Kate: —!
I covered my mouth with a start, but then Darius' erect heat pressed against my entrance.
(—What are you…)
He placed his index finger on his lips, silently instructing me to keep quiet, and my inadvertently widened in response.
(Are you kidding me!?)
He didn't show any signs of stopping even when I resisted, and I was left with no choice but to bear him entering inside.
Kate: …!
His heat slowly pushed in and spread my folds, and as the tingling pleasure ran through me I desperately covered my mouth.
But— the moment it hit the deepest part inside, a rather immodest voice came out from my lips.
Kate: Ngahh…
Nica probably picked up on it, too, because he went silent from the other side of the door for a moment before he let out a fed-up sigh.
Nica: Yeah, you guys are getting real busy. Which is fine, I don't really care, but just don't dirty my documents.
Kate: —!
Nica: Ah, and make sure to ventilate properly too. Well, have fun, guys~
The footsteps grew more distant, until there was no presence outside.
And I— was so embarrassed I could die here from it.
(This is exactly why I didn't want to do it here…!)
I covered my face, half in tears, when Darius said in a cold voice—
Darius: …I'm sure I told you to keep quiet.
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Kate: And whose fault do you think that— ahh—!?
He lifted my waist all of a sudden, but then he brought it back down full force, penetrating into the deepest part as if breaking through.
The strong wave of pleasure that suddenly hit me caused my whole body to tremble uncontrollably and bend back.
As I came undone, Darius threw off his shirt before grabbing my waist and thrusting inside over and over.
Kate: Noo…sto…ngh!!
Darius: I can't believe you just let a man other than me hear that voice of yours.
An obscene, wet sound resounded in the room.
Darius was obviously angry as he paid no mind to whatever I had to say.
He treated me like a doll, rendering me nothing but a panting mess on top of his knees.
Darius: It's punishment for you. Since you're…such a bad girl, Kate.
Kate: Ahh—!
I came who knew how much, his heat pushing in again and again.
From my periphery I could see the sofa become dirtied from one or both of our fluids,
but with all reason out the window…I couldn't think about anything as I leaned my body into his.
Kate: I…I can't anymore…
At my words Darius laid me on the sofa, grabbed both my legs, and lifted my bottom.
I averted my eyes from embarrassment at the full view of where we were connected, but then he once again thrust inside.
Darius: Take a good look. Your part here's such a mess I can't put it in, and yet you still want me.
Kate: Noo…
The nectar that spilled from my entrance trickled down my stomach to my belly button.
That warmth made my body tremble, causing my to squeeze around his heat on instinct…
Darius: Oh, my hopeless lover, so lewd, weak to pleasure, and can't even keep her voice in.
[SCREEN FLASHES WHITE]
Kate: Ahh—
I felt pressure in my whole body, and together with pain a striking pleasure shot through me.
Darius held me tight as my body trembled, smiling happily before giving me a kiss.
Darius: And I must have really gone crazy too, seeing how mad I am for you like this.
[BLACK]
I didn't remember what happened after that.
But when I came to, I was on the bed, sleeping in the arms of the devil whose sleeping face looked like an angel's.
[VOGEL BASE - MEETING ROOM]
And then, the following day—
Ring: You changed the sofa?
Darius: Mhm, I didn't like the other one, so I threw it out.
—The dirtied sofa was replaced with a new one.
Ring: It looks like this one you bought is bigger than before, and the color's different too.
Darius: I figured the more space, the better. And, any stains that get on it won't stand out with this color.
Darius was talking with Ring, throwing a meaningful smile my way.
Darius: Isn't that right, Kate? (⁀ᗢ⁀)
[BLACK]
From then on, whenever I sat on that sofa— I would end up remembering the events of that day.

——Darius' POV——
[BLACK]
Owls will live with its mate for life.
Their mate will basically never change, and they live in a warm nest together with but one of its kind, and together they will die.
That nest is warm and comfortable, and the female owl, unbeknownst to it, is protected from many outside enemies.
[PALACE - BEDROOM - EVENING]
The ability that should have been a gift bestowed by God…couldn't even save the one I held the most dear.
Darius: I'll never forgive you if you die like this without even opening your eyes.
You were the one who changed me, taught me what love was, and yet—
Darius: Don't leave me…not without taking responsibility for changing me.
I would never be able to forgive her if she continued sleeping without opening her eyes and leaving me behind.
If she died like this, I really would invade England, just as I had said.
I'd destroy every place Kate held dear, every thing, every person, all of it—
I genuinely thought to erase any and all traces of the world she had lived in.
She was the one who made me realize that feeling called loneliness, and what a person's warmth felt like, and yet for her to just leave this world would just be shirking accountability.
(To hell with this power blessed by God.)
If I couldn't even save the things I held dear when it mattered, such a power was meaningless.
But, I was sure that this was also a result of my being late in realizing what was important to me.
If only I had realized sooner, if only I had accepted her sooner…
Such a future wouldn't have come and yet— I had made a mistake.
While struck with despair, it felt like the time waiting for a single person to wake up stretched for an eternity…
[WHITE]
And— it seemed I wouldn't be able to forget the events of that day.
[CARRIAGE INTERIOR - DAY]
I boarded a carriage, heading for the apartment Kate lived in.
(She's probably still cleaning.)
Quite some time had passed since Kate woke up.
Her wounds had healed, and she was going to start her new life as Vogel's fairytale keeper,
so she felt she should cut her lease with the apartment she lived at and went to clean things up.
I had wanted to come along, too, but then some troublesome work got in the way,
and so under the condition that we meet as soon as she was finished and that many guards accompanied her, I let her go to her apartment.
(I did tell her that I couldn't see any future, and even if something did happen I would kill them all, so it should be fine.)
(But still, I can't relax when I'm away from her.)
Ever since Kate had gotten injured, I ended up thinking that someday she may end up leaving me,
so I had come to feel anxiety from not being able to see her.
Anybody could kill her; she was just a human without any power or influence to her name.
Ever since I realized my feelings for her, that truth had scared me, not knowing what to do.
I had gone crazy to the point I couldn't feel calm without seeing her in my line of sight.
(This is also all Kate's fault.)
I also sacrificed a lot myself to be together with her.
——Flashback——
[PALACE - VICTOR'S OFFICE - MONOCHROME]
I was questioned for the incidents regarding kidnapping attempt on Crown and taking Kate hostage,
and upon being told I was forbidden from entering England for life and that I wouldn't be able to see Kate, I was on the verge of anger.
But I ended up donating information on Cursed ones that Vogel had gathered along with a part of our private assets to Crown.
And, upon revealing my origins, Crown let it go, and I was able to officially get her.
[LONDON CITY - BIRD'S EYE VIEW - MONOCHROME]
But as we were in England, Crown was keeping even more of a watchful eye than before,
and I was even told that if, by some chance, Kate got hurt, they would immediately chase me out of the country.
——End flashback——
[CARRIAGE INTERIOR - DAY]
(They're mixing personal and business matters way too much.)
I knew that Kate was Crown's favorite, but I didn't think it was to this extent.
That was why I had to sacrifice a lot myself to get her…but I haven't told her that.
If she knew everything and felt even the least bit moved by Crown's care for her,
I felt I would never be able to forgive her for god knew how many years, so I kept quiet about it for my own sake too.
(…I want to see her soon.)
We had only met in the morning, and we even spent the night together, but I still wanted to see her face so badly I could hardly bear it.
This, too, I blamed on Kate teaching me what love was.
(And besides, who can say if she's having some affair while we're apart?)
Even now, I wasn't able to believe in all of her words or her feelings.
And that was exactly why I wanted to be by her side, so she could make me believe when I couldn't.
Kate likely knew why I was the way I was with her, but nevertheless she didn't say anything and seemed to content to accept me.
[LONDON - CITY STREET - DAY]
I arrived in front of her apartment, and when I came out from the carriage, I saw there was one guard there, organizing the luggage.
Darius: Where's Kate?
Vogel guard: Miss Kate had departed for the palace a little while ago now.
Darius: Isn't it a bit early for that? Did she already finish?
Vogel guard: Yes. She felt that you would be worried, Lord Darius, so she was in quite a rush to return.
(So, I came late.)
[CARRIAGE INTERIOR - DAY]
I could only return to the carriage, I told the coach to return to the palace.
But on the way, I saw a familiar carriage parked in front of the church—
(…There's no way.)
[BLACK → WHITE CHURCH - NAVE - DAY]
I stopped the carriage and entered the church— and just as I thought, Kate was sitting on the staircase, staring up at the stained glass.
Darius: To think while your dear lover was waiting, you went and took a detour. What a mean thing to do.
In response, she smiled and spread her arms, calling out my name.
Kate: Darius.
And, me being me, her word alone was enough for me to forgive her selfish actions.
(I really am in love with you like a fool.)
Kate was a wicked one, too, knowing that if she did this I would end up forgiving her.
Unable to help it, I turned my back to her and sat several stairs down from her, and she wrapped her arms around me from behind in an embrace.
Darius: What were you looking at?
Kate: The stained glass. And how pretty it looks…
Darius: Ohh…
The heartbeat I could feel through my back beat its study pulse.
Relieved at her being alive, I looked upwards as well as she gently ran her hand through my hair.
Kate: I really like your hair, you know.
Kate: It feels soft and fluffy…like a sheep…
I narrowed my eyes from the comforting sensation, before she said something where I couldn't tell if it was praise or not.
Darius: Are you sure that was a compliment?
Kate: Of course it is!? I like your hair very much!
Darius: So you just like my hair? (¬⤙¬ )
A tad frustrated, I grabbed her hand. And Kate gave me a smile and pressed her forehead with mine.
Kate: Oh, no, I love everything about you. In fact, I fear words alone wouldn't be able to express how much I love you.
Darius: Love… (O_O)
That word reminded me of the fate I had never told, and I averted my eyes.
Darius: I…can't say "I love you" to you.
Kate: Huh…
Darius: My fate— it's "if I say 'I love you' to the one I love from my heart, I will die."
Kate: —!
Darius: Words of love are a poison that will kill me.
Darius: So, as long as I don't think to end my life…I probably won't be able to ever say these words to you.
I somewhat felt I just had to say that,
perhaps because I had come to realize, somewhere in my heart, that my "I love you" was no longer empty.
What should have been nothing but empty words seemed to be filled with color whenever they came from Kate, and Kate alone.
I had learned just how beautiful those words could be— how a single phrase could make the world seem so vibrant.
(And that's exactly why, if I ever return those words to you…)
I thought that I would probably end up dying from that. But for some reason, Kate smiled.
Kate: …Then, in place of "love," give me a lot of "I like you"s.
She went on about some "I love you" service, and finding that as foolish as it was adorable, I couldn't help but laugh.
(You truly are a strange woman.)
But as for me, who would never let go of this strange woman for life and would protect her to the end like a mate,
I couldn't say much, seeing how I was just as crazy.
(We're like two peas in a pod in that way.)
[CG - CONTENT WITH "I LOVE YOU" - DARIUS VOGEL]
Darius: You were the one who made me realize this feeling called "loneliness," so take responsibility and stay by my side.
In the pure white church, my partner smiled like the Virgin Mary, whispering countless words of love.
[CG PAN]
Kate: I love you, Darius.
There was surely not a drop of a lie or falsehood in those words, and when I had her say it on my behalf as well, I closed my eyes.
[BLACK]
—If it was with you, even this mad love could continue for eternity.
