Summary: As he watches Lieselotte drain her Runes and then fall back to the earth, light in her eyes fading away, Haruto only barely heard a whisper in his ear and a light touch on his shoulder, “Watch Mikhail for me.” 

And so as L-elf locks himself up in despair, Haruto vows to do that one thing for the miserable Lieselotte - take care of L-elf.

He didn’t expect to end up becoming L-elf’s second “licht”, though. Or falling in love with him.

Alternative way to read it (compiled in one post with compromise in quality):

PROMPT: The war is over, L-elf has found Lieselotte again. The Royalists have seized power from the militarists, and Lieselotte is next in line for the throne. Unfortunately, this means that her advisors have determined that L-elf is “out of her league” and attempts to hook her up with other “eligible” men.

He just finished fighting a war against practically the whole universe, and now he has to fight a war over his beloved’s heart- 

"The world really hates you, huh, L-elf."

"Shut up, Tokishima. Your girl rejected you for not being human anymore."

Approval ratings up if it turns out that Haruto is one of the people that the advisors are considering to have marry Lieselotte

even better if Haruto is in love with L-elf but is just rooting for his happiness

Would be delighted if L-elf ruins every single matchmaking attempt like a super-soldier.

Even though punishment could be expected because of that prank, in the end thanks to the presence of Haruto and the princess everything was solved pacifically, and neither L-Elf, nor A-Drei and X-Eins had to pay the consequences of the ruckus they created at the arrival of the JIORans. Nevertheless, while they finally reached a solution and Lieselotte’s advisors were slowly giving in, yet there was still an unresolved matter, and it was related to the pilot’s confession back in the basement. In that moment the silver-haired soldier was so surprised, his only reaction was the one to stop threatening him and bring him back, without saying a word, he just dragged his ex right-hand back and tried to forget about what happened.

Even so, like any other problem also this one needed a solution, and for this reason, after having made up his mind about what to say to the brunet, L-Elf decided to face Haruto, having a talk was the least he could do after what happened. It was not like him to care about such a trivial matter, but Lieselotte herself noticed that there was something bothering him, and once hinted that it was due to a certain conversation with the pilot, she was the one who suggested to directly talk to the other; did she understand something? No, it was impossible, however from the moment it was a good advice, it could be the case to give it a chance.

In spite of his attempt to abduct him, finding the occasion to talk to Haruto was proved to be easier than expected, and finally during a late afternoon of few days later he got his possibility to talk with him alone. L-Elf couldn’t deny a sense of uneasiness now that he knew about the other’s feelings, normally he wouldn’t care to say something even if it could sound vaguely rude, but now the situation was slightly different. Even Haruto admitted he wasn’t waiting for him to come and have a talk, although he was glad he decided for another option. The sun was already setting, the hallways of the palace engulfed in a warm light, that wing of the palace was in that moment particularly silent, and maybe it contributed to make L-Elf feel even more bashful, but it was too late to change his mind.

“You must imagine the reason why I asked to talk to you”. The silver-haired’s tone of voice was calm, arms crossed, but his fingers were tapping with insistence against his forearm. “Is it because of what I told you when you kidnapped me, isn’t it?”. “Yes… I guess you already know I cannot return your… feelings”. “I know. Even so, I told you, what I want is for you to be finally happy”. Neither his tone of voice nor his expressions revealed any kind of sorrow or anger, Haruto appeared honest about what he already told to the Dorssian, and somehow it relieved L-Elf. “Thank you”.

Hearing those words was more surprising: since it took a moment of hesitation before saying them, Haruto understood that the whole situation could be difficult to his friend, though he knew his words were genuine. “I also need to thank you. After all, we wouldn’t have gone this far without you”. Now that he didn’t feel tense anymore, a smile curled the one-man-army’s lips, offering his hand to the pilot, waiting for him to hold his hand in return. “This is a pact”. “For?”. “I guess we can call it friendship”. “This is not a pact. This is a promise”.

After the last battles against the princess’ advisors, finally they were convinced that she could be allowed to marry the soldier, apparently there were more supporter than they predicted, and in the end they had no choice but surrender and give their approval. And now that this was over, L-Elf could finally say he won the war, and after all these years, he could finally walk the path he created together with the one he loved. He could finally see her by his side every day, and he already vowed he would protect her, even if it would cost his own life.

When the day finally came, his nervousness had reached unspeakable peaks, had he ever felt like this in his whole life? It seemed like his heart would burst at any moment, but fortunately, Haruto was there in the attempt to work up the soldier’s confidence.

“I admit it is strange to see you like this, and I don’t understand why you’re so worried. Everything will be fine”. “Shut up, you can’t understand. By the way, did you see Lieselotte?”. “No, I didn’t, why, are you curious?”.

No answer. He definitely was. “I’m happy you chose me as your best man”. In that uniform, L-Elf did resemble a prince, or at least, this what Haruto thought upon seeing the final result; it was true it felt odd to know the other was in that state of mind, at the same time the brunet was somehow happy about it: even if L-Elf’s feelings were for another person, he could still understand how it was to feel butterflies when together with someone precious, and he was sure that this was the reason why he decided to not give in their friendship – because keeping a distance would be more hurtful than allowing him to take part of his happiness from the shadows: he was glad for being with him, even if only as a companion. “Are you ready?”. L-Elf simply nodded his head, walking ahead of the pilot: there was something funny in his overly-tense expression, and even if Haruto suggested him to relax, otherwise he would look like particularly angry, despite the efforts that frowned look didn’t change at all.

His features unwind only when, waiting for the princess, she finally arrived in her long, white dress, in that moment Haruto could imagine the other’s heart melting at the sight, he could say it was possible to catch sight of a completely different light within his eyes the moment they met the ones of Lieselotte, her smile was so bright it would have been impossible to not be enchanted. Effectively, Michael’s heart trembled for an instant the moment he took her hand, the smile on his face was one the pilot has never seen worn by the dorssian. In the end it has been worth it, if all their fighting had finally brought him to beam this warmly, now that happiness was finally possible, reachable, now that he was hand in hand with his licht.

PROMPT: The war is over, L-elf has found Lieselotte again. The Royalists have seized power from the militarists, and Lieselotte is next in line for the throne. Unfortunately, this means that her advisors have determined that L-elf is “out of her league” and attempts to hook her up with other “eligible” men.

   Thanks to some information leaking, it was possible for L-Elf to complete his plan and prevent his former right-hand to even set his eyes on the princess; of course they didn’t have to draw the attention until the very end, otherwise it was possible for the guards to make his plan fail. While A-Drei and X-Eins were appointed with the diversion, the one-man-army would have taken care of the pilot, taking advantage of the general confusion. Strangely enough, he didn’t meet any oppositions from his fellow soldiers, yet he wondered if they were taking the situation seriously: it was not a frivolous problem, for it involved not only his heart, but the whole country! Or at least, that was the justification L-Elf was giving himself. Also, in order to ease the advisors’ preoccupations, the evening before the encounter the albino obtained a meeting with the princess, planning to reassure her about the fact that he was not angry, not in the slightest, not even nowhere near irritated. And for once, he could finally spend some minutes alone with her, without those vultures which constantly controlled him.

   Just by entering her room his heart was engulfed with tranquillity, she was there and she was safe, and no one would lay a finger on her, not even Tokishima Haruto or anyone else. The prinzessin was his and only his, he was not going to share his happiness with anyone else. The hand on his chest, the soldier bowed with respect towards the princess before approaching her, meeting with his gaze her kind smile. “I’m glad you managed to come, Michael. I guess you heard about tomorrow, didn’t you?”. Deciding to forget about her work of embroidery for a little while, with a gesture of her hand the pink-haired invited the other to sit next to her. “You don’t need to be this formal”. Even if embarrassed, L-Elf had no choice but follow the request, clearing his voice before answering her question.

   “I did. However, my princess, you don’t have to worry. I’m not planning anything against this meeting”. “Oh, I wasn’t really suspecting it…”. “Ah, you didn’t?”. Why did he have to act so foolishly in front of her? “I don’t agree with this idea, and I already told this clearly enough, but they decided to organize this event regardless. From the moment you are so well-informed, I imagine you also know I haven’t changed my mind”. “They won’t accept it, in any case”.

   The change in his tone of voice caught Lieselotte’s attention, who glanced at the albino before warmly smiling at him, shifting her hand on his. “Although, you will not give in, won’t you?”. Peeking at her, the conviction that he absolutely had to carry on his plan was growing firmer and firmer at each second, after all his licht shared his same dream, hence he had to do it not only for himself, but also for Lieselotte. Interferences were not accepted in this path he created for them both to be together. “I promised you”. Holding her hand in return and intertwining their fingers, the knight dragged her princess closer, kissing her softly and sealing their vow. “This path is only for the two of us”.

   The awaited day has come, and everything has been prepared to receive Tokishima Haruto and the JIORans. The princess was waiting at the entrance of the palace, surrounded by her advisors and the guards controlling that everything would proceed as planned.

   “A-Drei… Do you think we should really do it? Coming to think of it, this idea seems quite stupid”. “Do you think I’m happy about it? However we have no choice, after all it is for L-Elf’s sake”. “Even so… the strategy he came up with is more similar to a gamble…”. “Also someone like him has his own weaknesses…”. The conversation was interrupted by the communication device, L-Elf’s voice bursting on the scene. “The arrival is expected within two minutes, thirteen seconds”. “Yes, we are ready”.

   Suddenly a certain tension could be felt in the air, while the two soldiers prepared themselves, hid from indiscreet eyes but ready to take action immediately, following the albino’s instructions; checking the passing of seconds, at the hour indicated the JIORans finally showed, A-Drei immediately recognized the brunet, after all he did steal his man and for this reason it was obvious for him to hold a grudge against the pilot. With a gesture of his hand, X-Eins launched the operation, and a moment before the two parties could greet each other, a white smoke abruptly invaded the scene, the guards immediately alerted as they were informed it could be a terrorists’ attack. While the dark-haired pretended to follow instructions, giving them to the other guards, A-Drei made sure to bring Lieselotte to a safer place, among the noisy requests of her advisors.

   On the other side, before he could realize it Haruto found himself with the face against the ground, someone holding tightly his arms behind his back while probably his legs were blocked by the same person. “W-Who are you?!”. “It’s nice to meet you again in this circumstances, Tokishima Haruto”. “L-Elf?!”. “Yes. Now let me abduct you”. “What are you trying to––––– mph!”. “Shut up, you’re too loud”.

   Making sure no one would chase after him, the soldier took away the pilot dragging him by force, he knew that place like the palm of his hand, there was a certain location in the basements were they could talk without being interrupted. To assure that he wouldn’t scream, Haruto was gagged and, just for security issues, blindfolded. The boy was released only when L-Elf was sure they were alone, those two caused a ruckus enough to drift away everyone’s attention, even though they would probably start to look for Haruto as soon as possible.

   “Finally! What the hell are you doing?!”. “You. I am the one who should ask this question”. “What do you mean?”. L-Elf’s fingers wrapped around his gun, pointing it directly at the head of Haruto; after all he could not die. “I won’t let you take away the princess from me”. “What are you talking about… I…”. “Silence! You perfectly know the reason behind this meeting! And it is because they want to find an husband to Lieselotte!”. “If you’d let me explain…”. “No! I won’t forgive you for having accept the invitation and…”. “I wasn’t planning to accept anything!”.

PROMPT: The war is over, L-elf has found Lieselotte again. The Royalists have seized power from the militarists, and Lieselotte is next in line for the throne. Unfortunately, this means that her advisors have determined that L-elf is “out of her league” and attempts to hook her up with other “eligible” men.

   Even though the war was finally over, an inner turmoil was distressing those working to the restoration of the Royal Family: effectively, the next in line to the throne, princess Lieselotte, needed a companion worth his title and position, one the Royalists could trust. And precisely there the first problems arose, because there was a certain someone claiming the girl’s heart, and in practice, it would have meant to accompany her to the throne: endless discussions seemed to be unable to reach Karlstein L-Elf’s ears, and in addition to his stubbornness, the princess appeared to agree with it, making it difficult, for her advisors, to convince her that the soldier was not fit for the role.

   “Princess, you need to understand that the image of the governors is important as much as their conduct, this man is related to the military and it would be inappropriate for a mere soldier to…”. “I understand what you are trying to say, even if, I cannot say I agree with it. Also, Michael is a courageous man, and his link to the military is easily explained by the fact that he was actually forced to join it”. “Still, my princess, we would like you to take into considerations other possibilities…”.    Lieselotte couldn’t fathom the reasons behind their excessive worries, however she simply decided to listen, they were putting a lot of efforts in the research of the perfect man, when she was sure she already found the right one. The pink-haired nodded her head, allowing her advisor to speak. “There was also the prince A-Drei, a fellow soldier of this man, L-Elf, who could have been a good candidate, however there is still the problem with his past”. There was a short pause, before the interlocutor cleared his voice. “Then, we have thought that, in order to close with the atrocities committed in the past, we could decide for a man from another country”.

   That last statement surprised Lieselotte for a moment, a puzzled expression on her face. “What do you mean?”. “We have thought, my princess, that it would give both Dorssia and Jior a great prestige if you were to marry the one who fought alongside L-Elf”. “Are you talking about Tokishima Haruto?”. “Exactly”. That was unexpected. “I doubt he will ever accept it”. “We already asked for him to come to Dorssia”. “I see, still, I believe that there is no need for him to come, how can he be interested in ruling the same country which threatened his not a long ago? I’m sorry but I don’t believe it to be a solution”. “Can you still meet him?”. Lieselotte sighed deeply, glancing at her hands for a moment before giving an answer. “I will. But I already gave my answer”.

   This situation was more energy-draining than coming up with the decisions to make in order for this country to fluorish. At least, from her short encounter with the pilot, Haurto seemed to be a good person, she could easily guess how confused he must have felt the moment he received this proposal, he was kind-hearted yet he was not the one supposed to stay by her side. But, how long it would take for her advisors to understand it, Lieselotte couldn’t tell at all.

   “Damn! After what I have done, after coming this far, they barely allow me to see her!”. L-Elf’s frustration was visible on his face, while walking around the room where A-Drei and X-Eins were keeping the albino company, an astonished expression while attempting to follow their fellow soldier in his upset movements.

   “What do you plan to do now? It’s not like you to behave like this, L-Elf”. The prince’s rebuke made the other stop for a moment, earning a deadly glare from the one-man-army. “It’s true. If you don’t like it, try to come up with a plan to convince them you’re the right man”. Joining the conversation, the dark-haired fixed the position of his glasses. “Aren’t you the man of prophecies?”. “They just won’t listen to me!”. “They even asked me”. “I’m glad you refused, otherwise I’d have had to kill you”. “It seems like you’ll need to kill someone else, then”. X-Eins’ hint stole a baffled look from the albino, who stared at the other waiting for further explanations. “From what I heard, your right hand is coming to visit very soon. And he is a candidate for being the princess’ husband”.
