The Crown Prince’s Bride
~ Sometimes Brother and Sister ~ 2

Along the corridor of the quiet royal palace unreached by the hustle and bustle of the town, she was walking with a quick pace. Wearing a flower patterned silk dress, the lady went through the corridor elegantly despite walking quickly. The breeze caused by the momentum of her step gracefully swayed her silver hair.

The eyebrows that had always curved gently  were slanting upwards, and her amethyst eyes decorated with long eyelashes were blurred with tears. On her side, no figure of her lady in waiting was seen, instead, a young man with splendid figure was chasing after her.

The young man’s hair, was jet black. His eyebrows which seemed to show his strong will were now slightly drooped down, and his usual composed eyes were unusually filled with impatience.

He, cladded with first-class black suits, kept on calling out to her who was walking along the corridor and trying to leave the place.

“I’m sorry, please wait, Christina……!”

The young lady called Christina, almost reflexively stopped after hearing her beloved lover’s voice. However, she remembered that she was angry and put on a sullen look.

“No, I will not wait……! Alberto-sama, you can just go and do your work. I will now excuse myself……!”

“Wait! That’s why I said I’m sorry! Please don’t go back, Kuu!”

Sensing Alberto hastening his steps, Christina then unconsciously crossed the corridor with a half run. The place that both of them were walking through, was the corridor connecting the Phoenix Palace where the Crown Prince’s private room was in to the Central Tower. On the right side, a magnificent rose garden was spread out, and if it was the usual, it should be a suitable evening for her to stroll around the garden with him.

──Today, I wanted to stroll around together too though……

Christina vexingly muttered in her mind, however she must demonstrate her own determination, thus she firmly averted her gaze from the garden.

──Huh? Onee-sama?”

Being called out unexpectedly by a familiar voice, Christina slightly gasped.

As she turned her gaze, a young lady wearing a vibrant scarlet dress was walking out from the Central Tower.

Christina immediately stopped her stride. The young lady with a curled jet black hair, met Christina’s line of sight and her large black eyes started shining.

“Waa, onee-sama. You also came today! Are you going back already? Won’t you come to Anna’s room and eat some sweets?”

A joyful expression beamed from the young lady’s face, and she started to run with both hands spread out. Having an inborn elegance as well as tomboyish feel from being brought up lovingly, she was this country’s princess──Anna.

Christina calmed down her disordered breath and returned a gentle smile to her. No matter how emotional she became, it was impossible for Christina not to show any manner towards this country’s princess.

“……Anna-sama, how do you do…… っ……

She stood still, although with a bitter decision, and just as she held the hem of her dress and tried to bow, Alberto who was chasing after her had finally closed the distance. He nimbly circled his arm around Christina’s waist and embraced her.

“Kuu”

The fragrance of a sweet perfume softly wrapped her, in that moment, Christina recalled the memory of a while ago and poof her cheeks were dyed in a bright red color.

Embarrassed that her shoulder touched his chest, Christina twisted her body around and tried to escape from his arms.

“No……!”

“Kuu, sorry. I beg you, please don’t go back. I was just, since you are so adorable……”

Being whispered close to her ears with a low voice, Christina became even more bashful and shouted with eyes full of tears.

“Please don’t talk so close to my ears──!”

Christina’s vigorous shout reverberated within the well made palace. Only after hearing her own voice’s echo had Christina finally realized her own blunder.

To be raising a voice inside the palace, it was such an unbecoming attitude for a lady. Christina held her mouth a trembling hands, timidly, she looked at Anna and ── her beloved fiancé, Alberto.

Anna who was not accustomed to a loud voice was blinking in puzzlement, while what this country’s Crown Prince had in his mind was unclear as he gazed down at Christina with a serious look.

“……a, ……that……I……”

I must apologize, although it was what she thought, but if I apologize here, my effort in getting angry until now will be in vain.

Christina was conflicted with how she should deal with this matter while trembling, meanwhile, Anna who had quickly pulled herself together suddenly interjected.

“Whaat, Onii-sama. Did you make onee-sama angry again?”

Alberto put his hand on his waist, showed an indifferent look as if looking at an ill-behaved younger brother, and knitted his eyebrows. He squinted his eyes and coldly looked back at his younger sister.

“What do you mean by again, Anna. Won’t it seem like I’ve made her angry many times? Please be careful about your remark”

Although his answer seemed like a preaching instead, Anna raised her eyebrows and funsnorted.

“Oh , then, you are admitting that you’ve made onee-sama angry, aren’t you?”

“……”

Alberto warped the corner of his mouth, and return his gaze towards Christina. He ignored the little sister’s remark and passionately looked at Christina. The arm that was still circling around her waist even now, was tightly restraining Christina.

“I’m sorry, Christina. I won’t do it again today, so let’s return to the room and talk about the ceremony?”          (T/N : Today? So you’ll do it again tomorrow?)

Stared by a pair of lacquer black eyes, Christina was at a loss for a reply.

His eyebrows that were always gallantly slanted upward, are now hanging down because he feels anxious about me, and his voice is filled with more uneasiness than usual.

──For someone like me to make Alberto-sama attend to myself is……

The obedient Christina, almost reflexively replied “Yes” after seeing the sorrowful atmosphere around Alberto. However, just before answering, she felt like she saw for a moment, a presence of a beast deep inside Alberto’s eyes. Furthermore, the arm that circled her waist was filled with power, causing the experience she underwent a little while ago to vividly float across her mind.

Right now, Christina was in the middle of preparing for her wedding ceremony held on the next spring together with Alberto. Confirming the fabric for the dress along with the jewelries used during the ceremony, checking the sample of invitation letter as well as thank-you gift for the guests, and choosing which to use from the final choice given by each person in charge, it was necessary for both of them to decide on these things together.

Since Alberto was busy with government affairs, in order not to unnecessarily burden him, Christina decided to visit his room, however it seemed he did not hold much interest towards the details of the ceremony. Every time she visited his room, he would keep grinning and gazing at Christina who was trying to discuss things with him, and in the end he would always say “It’s okay if you just choose the one that you like“. Because the discussion always ended up in vain, she repeatedly asked him to think about it a little, but he didn’t change at all, and recently it caused her some dissatisfaction.

But, just by being together with him I’m already happy, and Christina who thought of such thing, today as well, pay a visit into his room. Actually, she was told that it seemed impossible to do it today, however since there was an appointment with the merchant tomorrow, she asked him to meet her even for just  a little while.

I wonder if he is busy with the government affairs? was what she was thinking, but after meeting him, Alberto was like usual, grinning while listening to her. Then, in the middle of her talk, with no different than usual, he did his recent routine and kissed Christina. Immediately after that, Christina’s body stiffened.

The kiss made her heart throbbed and her consciousness to almost fade, but since she could feel Alberto’s affection, she did not hate it. However, it didn’t stop with only a kiss, as she was also being pushed down, and it actually felt a little bit scary for her. Just by seeing the difference in physical strength between Alberto who was tempered thoroughly in the military and Christina, it was clear as day, that once he pinned her down, she would never be able to escape.

That was why, today as well, although she was pleased by the kiss, once she was pushed down on the sofa and being kissed deeply, she began to tense up.

[Um, Alberto-sama……anymore is]

He who was bending over on top of her, seemed larger than usual, and as she felt that something would happened if she were to receive anymore pleasure from the kiss, Christina quickly surrendered.

Usually, Alberto would gulped as if swallowing something and pulled himself back, however this time, as he looked down on Christina whose cheeks blushed and eyes filled with tears, he let out a sigh. I wonder what happened? Christina thought as she looked up, and there he was, looking as if he was suffocating while he quietly muttered.


[……That’s why, I didn’t want to meet you today……]

Christina opened her eyes wide, and tears started to well up in her eyes. Although she was aware that she asked him to spare some time in spite of his busy schedule, she did not think that he thought of not wanting to meet her.

Hurt, and with her tears seemingly to spill at any moment, Christina tried to escape from his arm. However Alberto silently held Christina’s shoulder, and pressed her down on the sofa again. He kissed her earlobe, and against Christina who seemed to almost cry, he started to whisper passionate sweet talk.

[Nee, Kuu. You are truly adorable, to the point of being sinful…… Even this part of you that immediately tears up, is truly adorable…… ……You are just too adorable]

He endlessly kept on whispering adorable on her ear, moreover his hand started to crawl along her body, making Christina blushed extremely.

As he touched her here and there, she began to unable to comprehend which was pleasant and which was scary.  Moreover, although they finally found the time for the discussion with great pains, in the end the paper quality for the invitation letter that was going to be decided today had not been finished yet.

Ignoring the discussion for the ceremony, he kept touching her while giving no decent thought, towards such Alberto, Christina felt that it was unreasonable.

I know it was bad for me to asked him to spare some time during his busy schedule, but to say that he didn’t want to meet me is so cruel. Furthermore, without joining the discussion he started to feel Christina up. Even though if they thought over it together, it would end earlier, and she would not end up obstructing Alberto. Also, since her heart would throb too much, she hoped that this kind of exchange be done only after the marriage.

Come to think of it, about the paper, didn’t we agreed on it quite some time ago that Alberto-sama to be the one to decide on it──?

Although she ended up being told “I didn’t want to meet you”, originally it was because Alberto didn’t do it beforehand, and realizing that, Christina knitted her eyebrows.

In the first place, although Alberto always met with her, he had never decided on anything and left it all to Christina.

Remembering the situation which ended up with her being showered by such heartless words,  Christina’s dissatisfaction finally reached its peak. At that time, Alberto was feeling her breast while letting his tongue crawled along her earlobe. To have tongue creeping on her ear, it was the first for her. Combined with a wet feeling,  Alberto’s sigh was poured directly into the inside of her ear, making her trembled as she felt an electric current flowed from her nape along her back. Simultaneously, her breast was softly fondled, and Christina who didn’t predict such things to be done to her, could only feel it while leaking out a squeal.

[Hyaan……!]

It was such a sweet and coquettish voice, one that even herself couldn’t believe of it being her own voice. Christina immediately closed her lips, her cheeks were dyed in bright red.

While pressing her down, Alberto kept on sending out gaze full of love towards Christina who raised such an immodest voice. However, he then let out a passionate sigh and started kissing her nape. The long sigh beside her ear was greatly amorous, causing Christina’s body to tremble. She loved Alberto, however to be touched all over like this, it was ── scary.

Being an upright lady she was, Christina naturally did not have much experience. As she trembled, she pushed Alberto’s shoulder away.

[No……Alberto-sama……please let me off already]

In contrast with Christina who was pleading while enduring her tears, Alberto’s reply was a merciless one.

 [──impossible]

His eyes were deeply dyed in passionate love, and he restrained both of Christina’s wrists as she tried to escape.

Christina who was pinned on top of the sofa continued to plead him.

[Please, if Father were to know of this……!]

[Since no one is watching, it’ll be alright……]

Without giving his ear to her plea, he kissed her nape and collarbone, and when Christina thought he released the restraint on her wrists, he again touched her breast over the clothes, and this time he used his thumb to flatten the tip of her breast.

[……Kyau!]

As she squealed again, Christina’s body was fully dyed in bright red and kept on trembling due to the embarrassment. On the other hand, she felt a little irritated towards her lover who never understand no matter how many time she said it.

──Even though I told him to stop because I don’t want to not be able to meet with him

After noticing how they were on each other’s cross purposes, they both returned to be the former intimate lovers, nevertheless, Christina’s father still strictly ordered a healthy relationship between them. Although they may be betrothed, if unmarried man and woman were to be together in a single room, the proper etiquette required them to let the door to be opened a little. However right now, the door was closely shut.

Even though it has always be properly opened, I wonder when was it shut?

Since the discussion ended up taking a long time, the maid was told to take a rest, however if the maid see how the door was closed when she returned, it would be a big problem.  Supposing the maid was to open the door in panic, this pinned down situation would surely be seen. The maid who was ordered to monitor them, without doubt would report it to Christina’s father, and when her father received such report, Don’t meet with each other until your wedding day──there’s a big chance he would give such an order.

Once Christina imagined her strict father’s order, she began tearing up. To not be able to meet with Alberto is, lonely.

[Christina]

As her name was called, Christina turned her gaze towards her lover’s eyes, those eyes were clouded in passion, yet were intense and dignified, and they kept on staring into her. Christina’s heart hence forgot the current situation, and kept on beating hard.

For Christina, just by meeting Alberto and looking at his face, it was already enough to make her overjoyed. However, after their reconciliation, Alberto would always touched Christina every time they met, making her felt like being played around by him. In addition, even though he had just said that he did not want to meet her, he kept on whispering his love and giving her lots of kisses, he’s truly hard to comprehend.  There didn’t seem to be any indication of finishing the preparation of the ceremony any time soon.

Each time her skin was touched, Christina’s body would sensitively raised, and a sweet melting voice would leak out from her lips.

Played around by that sensation, it had reached to the point where she couldn’t think straight anymore.

After the incident with Clara and their reconciliation, the way he touched her had change into an adult way of touching, however the inexperienced Christina was still unable to respond to him.

Enticed by Alberto, her heart chaotically seemed about to burst at any moment, she couldn’t believe the  voice leaked out from her lips, nevertheless the indescribable sensation given to her just seemed to set her adrift.

The shame from leaking out a strange voice, as well as the throbbing from having been pressed down by him, she was surprised to found herself almost drown in that sensation. Her dissatisfaction towards Alberto about the ceremony grew worse, and then, as Christina’s mind reached the peak of mayhem, she suddenly let out words that she did not really mean.

[Al……I hate you]

[Eh?]

Alberto who was having predator-like eyes while trying to put his and Christina’s lips together suddenly stopped moving. He could only keep on staring as he was glared by the teary eyed Christina. Christina, while trembling, bit her red lips. Panicking, Alberto hurriedly removed himself from her.

[Umm, Kuu……? I’m sorry…… Was it scary?]

Christina silently got up. Feeling the part around her shoulder got loose, Christina reached out her hand to the strings on her back, and turned pale. Somehow before she knew it, the strings on her back which served to tighten up the dress were untied.

[Ah, did it get loose? It’s okay, I can do it]

Alberto went behind her and fixed the strings that were undone when he was pinning her down. In the middle of fixing the strings, it seemed his sanity returned and he started muttering in a subdued voice.

[That’s……I’m sorry. ……This morning we had a military training, you see……? After the training, how to say it, somehow my self control is……]

Although he tried to make some kind of excuse, Christina didn’t listen until the end and stood up.

It’s not like I hate it or something. But since it’s still a little scary, I wish he’d do it in moderation. And then, I hope he’d think about the wedding ceremony a little more seriously.

Christina rarely talked back to Alberto. It was because Alberto was fundamentally an excellent man, thus she didn’t perceive him as someone who would do any mistake, however,  today was different.

Confirming the strings on her back having been fixed, Christina looked at Alberto.

Alberto was sitting on the sofa while looking back anxiously at her. Thank you for fixing the strings, was what she almost said, but she immediately swallowed down the words just before they were let out. In the first place, the strings were undone because Alberto pinned her down. And then, for the sake of the ceremony’s preparation from now on too, it was better to show him that she was angry, was what she instinctively thought.

Christina deliberately raised her eyebrows and declared.

[Please, think about the ceremony more seriously…… Without giving any opinion, always making me, fe……feel strange…… Alberto-sama these days, I, hate it……]

Recalling her disordered voice, Christina ended up stuttering. And, even though she still loved him so much until now, she ended up saying something that she did not really mean, and the feeling of regret covered her heart.

Hearing the declaration of hate from Christina, Alberto turned pale. Noticing his despaired expression as if it was the end of the world, Christina almost instantly say “it’s a lie”, but she reprimanded herself.

──You can’t, Christina! If you don’t get angry here, Alberto-sama will surely never understand……!

With a strong determination, Christina pui turned her back on Alberto and then left the crown prince’s private room.

Since being pinned down was a little bit scary, she instinctively wanted to rush out of the room as fast as she could, however, the person herself did not realize this.
