The gentle spring breeze caressed your face, carrying with it the softly sweet floral scent of the seasonâs first blooms. Your lover continued pulling you deeper into the forest with his large hand grasped gently but firmly around your own. If it had been anyone other than him, you would find this situation odd â alarming, even. But you knew in the depths of your heart that Licht, being the gentle and loving soul he is, would never do anything to hurt you. That didnât stop you from questioning him about where he was taking you.
âLicht, where are we going? It feels like weâve been walking for hours,â you asked, your sweet voice giving your silver-haired lover reason to pause. He turned towards you, crimson eyes flashing with a rare mischievous glint, and gods, if his smirk wasnât enough to turn your legs to pure jelly. He wasnât one for expressing himself often, so this rare show of emotion was enough to kickstart your racing heart.Â
âWeâre almost there. Just trust me,â he responded simply, giving your hand a quick squeeze before pulling you through the thickets of the bushes. What lay before the two of you was truly a sight to be seen. The cascading mountains cast stunning reflections against the gently rippling water. The pink, orange, and yellow hues from the sun setting caused everything it touched to bask in a warmth that you could never even imagine experiencing. Not only that, there were swans, actual swans, floating majestically on the water. How your lover had even found this place was a mystery, but all of that soreness and effort you put into keeping up with him suddenly melted away with the glory of this hidden gem.
âDo you like it?â His deep voice, usually so quiet, rang clear as day. The bashful hesitance in his beautiful eyes was more than endearing to you, and you enveloped your lover in a tight hug.Â
âI love it. I more than love it. Licht, Iâm absolutely speechless. How did you even find a place like this?âÂ
 In the few months youâd been with Licht, he had shared more than a handful of his secrets with you. The fact that he adored your darioles, how he would chastise the other royals whenever they would say biting things about his beloved brother Yves, how he would secretly keep an eye out for you every moment of the day, how heâd ride off on his horse to distant, untouched places whenever he needed a moment alone. But he didnât need a moment alone anymore. Now that he had you, he would never spend another moment with his own crippling loneliness ever again. You, with your radiance that nearly blinded him when you two first met, he now found that he couldnât live without it.
âI actually found it a long time ago. When Nokto and I were still little, we played hide-and-seek, and sometimes Iâd take the hiding part a little too far⊠This was one of the places I found, and I ended up coming back here time and time again as I got olderâŠ.â He paused briefly and then took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself to reveal the thing he had hidden for so long. âActually, the first time I found this place, I vowed to myself that I would bring my future wife here⊠and then everything happened with my mom, and I thought that would never happen to a sinner like me... but then I found you, and I knew that if I didnât take you here at least once I would regret it for the rest of my life.âÂ
You couldnât help the small gasp that left your lips at the sincerity of his words. You two hadnât talked about it yet, but with how strong your feelings were and how much attachment you felt towards the Prince, you were hoping that discussions of your future were on the horizon. âLicht, does this mea--, what are you saying right now?â You stammered out. You looked up at your loverâs bashful but loving gaze, and a smile began forming on your face before you could even realize it.Â
His hand reached out, carefully caressing the soft skin of your face with his rough, calloused fingers. âI mean, Iâm not proposing to you yet. You deserve a man whoâs whole, happy, and able to give you everything you deserve without ever making you go through any pain because of him⊠The way things are now, I donât know if I can promise that to you just yet,â a silence hung between the two of you, and then your lover continued. âBut that doesnât mean Iâm not trying my hardest. I guess what Iâm asking for is selfish, I know that, but please wait just a little longer for me because I promise to become everything you deserve.âÂ
You opened your mouth, ready to emphatically agree and promise your lover whatever he was asking for when he pressed a quick kiss to your lips.Â
âOh, and I have this for you.â He reached into his trousers pocket and grabbed a small velvet red box. Then, in one quick motion, he opened the latch on the box, revealing the most stunning bracelet youâd ever laid your eyes on. In the centre of the bracelet was a beautiful, glistening ruby gem, the same colour as Lichtâs eyes â a simple but timeless piece of jewelry that perfectly represented the characteristics of your lover.Â
Your eyes began glistening with unshed tears as you gingerly picked up the bracelet and allowed him to clasp it around your wrist. âLicht, Iâm so in love with you, and I donât want you to think that you need to change yourself or be better just for me. I think youâre perfect just the way you are, but Iâll be as patient as you need.âÂ
âI know you feel that way, but you deserve better than me⊠you deserve someone good enough for you, so thank you for being patient with me. I love you more than you could ever imagine,â he whispered, angling your chin with his thumb and forefinger before pressing another sweet kiss to your lips.Â
âLetâs enjoy the rest of our time here. I asked Yves to make all your favourite desserts and picked up some fruits from your favourite stall in town.â And yet again, for the third time that day, Licht managed to surprise you by pulling out a sack of delicious treats that heâd somehow been hiding from you this entire time. For someone who was self-proclaimed as not good enough for you, he sure knew how to treat you better than anyone youâd ever met.Â
âYouâre amazing, Licht,â you muttered under your breath, settling down beside him on the plush grass. Your gaze looked towards the shimmering water, captivated by the twinkles glistening back at you from the surface. Yet, while you were enraptured by the sight before you, your lover was captivated by the sight of you.Â
It was indescribable. Something even more than happiness. Pure contentment and satisfaction were the only things that filled his mind when you were with him, and it was enough for him knowing you reciprocated even the tiniest bit of his feelings. In the purest and rarest form of love, he felt whole, more than heâd ever felt before. And as the sun gradually set, the darkness providing a comfortable blanket over the two of you, emphasizing the radiance of the stars, you two continued basking in each otherâs light. Â
online numbers can really fuck you up when it comes to your creative work because you're sharing something you worked on with all your heart but it's very important to remember there's actual people behind those numbers. even if it's 1. that's one whole actual person. that's a human being who said "haha nice". that's a connection with a REAL person with a REAL life and REAL thoughts and feelings and experiences. like. damn. that should mean something
Tumblr should take away the ability to like posts for a few weeks so peeps understand this website cannot survive with just liking. I see so many gorgeous gifs and edits and they get like....13 reblogs and 700 likes. That's not right, fam
Early Advice/Info For Ikemen Sengoku Eien (assuming it will be the same as JP):
Gacha is now for cards and avatar
Gacha cards are used for the "princess lessons." The higher their value and your avatar value, the more points you get.
Cards range from 2 star to 5 star and can stack up to +99.
The highest most people reasonably obtain is 4* +99, which you can get from events.
Remember that this free 5* card you get at the beginning is not just for aesthetics, that's also going to be most people's highest bond level for awhile.
Bond is a special character-specific point system where you get various items or special stories related to that character.
So don't just choose a card based on looks, but also whose bond stories you most want.
You can also get a 4* card easily for any of the guys with routes and there's also probably one free 4* for Yoshiteru right away, too.
Chapters have changed a bit
The chapters all get cut in half and so, for example, the 10 part chapter 1 becomes 5 part chapter 1 and 5 part chapter 2.
This means the first intimacy check is at the end of chapter one.
For Collection Events, you can just run chapter 1 back and forth between characters over and over again for easy points.
Currency Changes
The free currency is now GOLD.
You will VERY QUICKLY get a ton of gold, you only need to watch at the very beginning.
Just like in the original, you can spend this free currency during collection events to get 10 free hearts a day.
The paid currency is DIAMONDS.
The Eien app lets you get free diamonds as a reward, but they will be separate from paid diamonds for certain things (like a daily discounted gacha pull with paid diamonds).
You can buy diamonds in the app, but normally buying on the web is a better deal.
There will also be special birthday 5* cards for each character that you can buy that will come with diamonds. On JP you could buy a few in the month before the game came out and have the cards when Eien released, but I'm unsure if they can do that with the EN server.
The first event on JP was a Collection Event
Assuming this is true for EN, that means you do not have to worry about cards or beauty at the very beginning.
You can wait and spend any items, gold, or diamonds you have on the first event.
(This had a pretty Nobunaga at a hot springs 4* card you could get to +99)
While I got lazy about posting the events, I did still screencap every one of them on Eien JP, so I'll make an effort to post those up at some point so people can still see what's coming. I also tried to take screencaps of any time they mentioned the cost of things, either diamond costs for event items or point costs for story events and stuff, so I'll be trying to compare those between JP and EN.
I'll just add that in this game, there's no point in stopping at the challenge anymore. The reward for the previous chapter is given before we finish the challenge. So to get the most out of it in a collection event, we need to stop one fragment before the challenge. That means you need additional tickets for collection events.
And they removed the "Fin" page at the end of story events... For most people, it's nothing, but for those who used it, it's going to be an unpleasant surprise.
