Chapter 134 Festival With Vivienne (XXVII).

Chapter 68: Festival with Vivienne (XXVII).

Kein's POV

After going to Veronica's place and storing her little 'gift' in Rose's storage ring, we walked around and I saw the same maid that was handing out flyers back to me a few days ago giving it out to the people who walked past her.

"Please visit the church to see a spectacular performance of our Blue moon dancer! The royal family will be there to watch! Take a flier! The dance will begin when the full moon sets this festival!"

My ears perked up at the words that weren't mentioned before. Was it a new dancer?

"The blue moon dancer?" I muttered in question looking at Rose expecting for her to answer.

"I believe that would be the dancer's stage name." she explains and I tilt my head. I thought one of the princesses would be dancing the offering dance not someone else.

Though I have to admit the blue moon dancer does have a nice ring to it.

"Isn't the Mistral dance supposed to be the light princess' duty?" I might have forgotten to ask her that and since Cecilia is not well on her health being unable to dance, I wondered who would replace her this time.

Since the last two years of the festival I would also visit the church to see the dance but Rose didn't serve the tradition and there would just be church girls trying their best to please the crowd asking the blessings of the heavens.

"It's not really required for the light princesses to give a Mistral dance towards the stage of the church, it's more of a voluntary work to do so that my sister took too seriously."

Princess Cecilia... right I've had times where she told me her foot would arouse some pain so she couldn't walk often when I visited her and even suggested to me that if I'm offering to carry her she wouldn't mind-

I've always thought it was one of her friendly banter but I should've seen the signs that she had some romantic feelings for me back then. "I know that she loved dancing, it often came to our topics of conversation when we were still having tea parties before. I even remember asking her to be my muse because of my first time watching the first Mistral dance. "

I remember the faint memory of our meeting, she drugged me with a truth serum by herself making sure that I wasn't going to have any ill intention as I painted her amazing figure.

While our relationship now was different at least things are clear now. I'm glad for Princess Cecilia moving on and finding a new lover. Last I heard, that personal maid of hers- those two were basically subtle flirting when we had to talk about plans for the future.

"Just making sure... your sister and her personal maid- are they-?"

"They're... sort of together. It's rather complicated from what I hear from my sister."

"How complicated are we talking about?"

"All the advances that would usually lead onto the bed were being ignored, of course with good intentions from Kazari but I think she's just worried my sister would have her condition worsened if they did any of it."

Well if that's the case then it's really complicated. I wasn't expecting Princess Cecilia to be the horny one in the relationship- and from how Rose says the description of Kazari, it seems like she's a really good person. "This is one of the many reasons I love you, I have first hand source of the royal gossip. Tell me more!"

We decided to visit father next while talking more about Rose's sisters.

I wasn't expecting for her to reveal a lot of dirt on them- she was practically ranting about how annoying they were but in the end she couldn't help but love them for being the best sisters she could ever have. "Did you know Catherine is an aspiring author? She's already having her book signing soon."

"An aspiring author?" It was the first time I heard of it. If she was an inspiring author and I had no news of it I supposed her work got published under her writer's name too.

I'm sure she's gone far with her writing skills over the years from the time I read her first manuscript as well.

"What kind of book did she make?"

"She told me she's been inspired by our love story and actually decided to write and climb her way into a spot to get published by a rather famous publishing house." (Rose) takes out a book from her [Storage Ring] and I immediately recognized the title as well as the cover of a small little frog in a knight costume and the princess- "I'm very proud of her."

It was the same book that Lenard gave me!

"The book that was made by C.G Howling?! This was the third princess' work?" I held the book in my hand and inspected it.

"You're familiar with it?" (Rose)

I was right! This was the story about how a knight has been cursed to become a frog for the rest of her life unless she receives a true love's kiss. "I've read it all in all. I loved it, can you send a copy of my book to your sister and let her have it signed?"

"Frog!" (Vivienne) points at the picture drawn on the leather of the book and she seemed to have wanted to hold it as well. I gasped looking at Vivienne's star stuck gray eyes, "Frog!" she repeated the words again and my mind did a little happy dance.

"Y-You know what frogs are, Vivienne?!" My heart became happy hearing Vivienne knowing what a frog was- "Yes aren't they cute! Frogs! Aren't they so cute, Vivienne?!" I grabbed Vivienne by her waist, taking her away from Rose and twirled her around happily in the air.

"Yey! Moma like frog!"

Yes, Vivienne I love them so much because they're so cute just like you!

"...I beg to differ, they're not really that cute but I can get Catherine your signed book." (Rose) crosses her arms saying alright to my request and I could feel her mood drifting into jealousy. "Let me ask you a question, Kein. If you had to choose between me and the-"

"I choose the frogs." I answered with a straightforward face onto her question and she raised one of her eyebrows at me.

"!!!" She does a little 'hmph' noise and pulls my cheeks a little too harshly. "No hesitation on answering, am I that below your list that you'd choose a frog over me?" she continued to pull and I laughed while being in a little pain from her pulling my cheeks.

"N-Nwo?" I teased, I know she would be above my love for frogs but it's just cute seeing her being so jealous over the small little things. "I'm kidding, of course, I love you more. Vivienne can vouch for me right?"

"Moma a player." (Vivienne) raises her thumbs up and smugly smiles before Rose was practically pulling my face to the point I could feel my skin being peeled away. "Ow! Ow! Not the face! I can't believe you wouldn't believe my love for you, my sweet?" I tried coaxing her up with my sugary words but it didn't seem to have worked.

I could see a faint little blush under that shawl but it seems she was not happy with me.

"Don't you dare think that calling me cute nicknames would make me soften up on you, Ms. Rosenguard."

"Hey, you used my old last name."

"I actually sort of preferred your old last name before. Hills sounds better but... Rosenguard has a nice ring to it, don't you think?"

I haven't used that last name for a while... Kein Rosenguard, I wonder how you're doing right now? Are you alright with me using your name to flirt with a princess? "It does have a nice ring to it, it's telling me to guard you properly Rose."

She nudges my shoulders gently, chuckling at my joke. "You're doing a very horrible job with it. You're flirting with me, not guarding me." (Rose) spitted straight facts, but she was wrong about one thing.

I'm doing both.

"Who says I can't do both?" I gave her one of my best smug faces before quickly leaning in to give her a kiss on the cheek. The silk of her shawl might have gotten between our skins but at least I gave her a quick peck there. "And I stole a kiss from the princess."

"You dare steal a kiss from an engaged woman that's also a princess?" (Rose) dramatically gasps, grabbing a hold of my arm and kisses my cheek back. It was brief as she didn't let go. I was stunned in my place, my mouth in an 'o' as I stared at her.

Seeing my reaction she seemed to be satisfied as she winked in my direction. "That's your punishment for stealing, you could say now we're even."

Oh my gosh, she kissed me back- oh my heart- oh my love- oh my I'm gay.

"I... erm..." I feel my head got hot wired from all this hotness I'm feeling. Am I horny? Yes, I think I am and I need to behave.

"Moma losing flirting... Mommy wins?" (Vivienne) looks up at me in disappointment- as if she expected me to lose?!

No! Listen here, in this relationship I assure you I'm one hundred percent the top in here.

The effect this girl has on me is rather scary. "That doesn't count..."

"Quite red now are you?" (Rose) comments on my red face as I shake my head denying her accusation.

"I'm not red. Don't be daft, princess. I'm getting this rare tan from the sun because it's rather hot today isn't it? We still have the day ahead of us- lets go visit my father's booth before it gets any hotter!"

That was just my excuse because all this time I've just been losing wars from this woman. Let's just hope that the next chapter is the last one-!
