jealous, jealous, jealous!

— "are you two dating?" ft. victor, emilio, merryrose

— VICTOR!

It took Victor a moment to process that question before quickly regaining his cool. He shot his co-worker a smile but in his mind he was panicking, thinking that he was being a little bit too obvious with his feelings. After all, he already said to himself that he'd push aside his feelings and let you meet other people. It made him feel a little giddy though, the thought of being mistaken as your lover gave him butterflies.

"Oh my, do we really seem that close?" He let out a small laugh, "we're really not dating."

"Then you wouldn't mind if I tried to confess to them, right?"

Crash!

"Huh?" It took Victor a moment to realize what was happening. As if ignoring what they just asked him, he chuckled. "Oh dear, I must've been distracted. Seems like I've broken a glass."

"A-Are you alright!?"

"Yes, I'm fine." His mask was slowly crumbling away and his voice suddenly turned deeper. A little bit rougher. He furrowed his brows and looked at his co-worker right in the eyes. "I can take care of this. Just scram already."

They gulped. Slowly backing away before sprinting out. Victor could only stare at their back getting smaller and smaller before letting out a deep sigh and ruffling his hair. "Ugh… I screwed up."

— EMILIO!

"Dating?" Emilio pondered for a second. He was debating between telling his fellow knight the truth or twisting it a little to match the image inside his head but he knew you wouldn't like it if rumors about you and him spread – and you were his priority. So he chose to tell him the truth… with a little bit of something sprinkled on top. "Well, no… but we're very close."

Maybe he did that to show off. Maybe he did that to ward him off because clearly, he was interested in you. He was fidgeting, sweating, and stuttering. If he was asking just for the sake of knowing, he wouldn't be as bothered as he is. However, this kind of situation calls for a different response.

"T-Then…! Could you put in a good word for me? I'm really interested in them so I've been wondering if you could help."

He didn't take the hint, he thought. A straightforward answer should do the trick.

"They're not looking for a relationship right now." Not a trace of guilt can be found on his face after spitting out a blatant lie. It was scary how his voice had gone cold yet his smile never wavered. "You should give up."

"Please? Just a little push is all I need so I can confess…"

Confess? Emilio tilted his head curiously. "You just don't give up, do you? It's an admirable trait for a knight… however," he grabbed his collar and pulled him closer – sending chills down his spine. "Do try to pick opponents your size."

He backed away, acting as if nothing happened. "Unless you want to be gobbled up, of course."

No one believed the knight when he said that Emilio threatened him.

— MERRYROSE!

"No, why?" Merryrose's reply was quick and simple. It was straightforward enough — No, they were not dating. He conveniently left out the 'yet' part and 'I wish we were' part. He thought it would be super embarrassing if anyone found out his big crush on you and right now he's doing his best to keep a straight face when he got asked this question.

"That's great to hear!" His eye twitched. "I was planning on asking them out soon so I had to make sure there really isn't anything going on between you two."

"Oh, really?" It was childish to get jealous, yes. But what's even more childish is the fact that he removed his glove and put his hand on their arm. He never thought he would intentionally charm someone with his ability but he thought it suddenly became useful for once. His pettiness knew no bounds. Sweetly, he asked: "Could you repeat that for me?"

"O-Oh..! I was wondering if you were interested in going on a date with me, Merryrose." It worked, perfect.

He put his glove back on and replied, "I've got plans. Don't go asking anyone else, though."

It was strange. He hated being treated like this but the moment they showed interest in you, all common sense got thrown out the window. It's fine, he thought. It would be bearable if they fawned over him instead of you. If it was you… He might just burst with jealousy.

VICTOR AFFECTION #2

━

Late into the night, the once crowded bar had gone silent again. VICTOR : Emma, good work! EMMA : Thanks, Victor. You did good work too! The bar was really busy tonight. VICTOR : Indeed. It is a good thing that the bar is so successful, but I'm exhausted...And I have a feeling we're going to be just as busy tomorrow. EMMA : Phew. Well, get a good night's rest. VICTOR : At times like this, I feel like I need to get some rest, but I can't. My body is tired, but my eyes refuse to stay shut. I roll around for hours. Do you ever have that problem?

EMMA : Yeah, I totally get it! I have the feeling that's what’s gonna happen tonight for me too. VICTOR : If you can't sleep either, why don't we just chat over a cocktail before heading to bed? EMMA : Are you sure? That would be nice. VICTOR : Okay, leave it to me. Victor returned to the counter to make cocktails and pour them into glasses with his skillful hands.

VICTOR : This is a Brandy Crusta. I've sweetened it a bit so it's a little easier to drink. EMMA : Thank you, I'll take it! Mm~ This is my first time drinking it and it's delicious with a refreshing citrus aroma! VICTOR : I'm glad to hear that. I was born and raised in a country where brandy was the local specialty, and wherever I went in the city, I could always smell the sweet aroma of brandy in the air. As he spoke, Victor's eyes seemed to be filled with nostalgia for his distant hometown, but at the same time, he seemed to be carrying something faintly bitter in his heart. VICTOR : Ahh, it makes me nostalgic just thinking about it. The Brandy Crusta is such a romantic cocktail. EMMA : Romantic, what do you mean? Victor, resting his elbows on the bar counter, leans in close to me. VICTOR : I wish time would stop. That's what I'm thinking right now. EMMA : ....Ah! VICTOR : Hey, you know what? Be careful with guys who hit on you like this, you have to know if they mean it or not. EMMA : ... Uh-huh. EMMA : (What does he mean he wants time to stop...?) The scent of sweet brandy wafted gently from Victor, who was staring intently at me. I wanted to feel the lingering scent of brandy forever, or maybe I was just drunk.

ABSOLUTE OBEDIENCE x KING'S GAME - PART 1

━

With bubbles popping in my glass of sparkling wine, and dazzling lights shining from the chandeliers overhead, I couldn’t help but feel as if we’d stepped into a scene straight out of a movie... YMIR : Emma, you don't need to be so nervous. EMMA : Easier said than done in atmosphere this overwhelming... VICTOR : It's not all that surprising, given that every other attendee is a well-dressed, handsome man. LEN : Hey, it's time to wrap up this boring meet and greet. Stop yapping you stupid host! HOST : As I’ve talked about in length already, when so many families come together like this, there is always something to take away from it. HOST : We are friends and foes each, and in the illustrious words of wisdom from our busy Mam whom is on her way over: "Enjoy today, for tomorrow." EVERYONE : Cheers!

━

Tonight was the Bloody Lady's annual party, a get-together for the many families hailing from all over the Graveland area. VICTOR : Hmmm ♪ Not bad, this wine is indeed worthy of representing the Bloody Lady. They’re certainly not skimping on the money. YMIR : It's not just the drinks. It's the venue, the people, and the beauty of it all. VICTOR : Every family, large and small, with roots in the Graveland area are gathered here, so it is indeed quite crowded. Even if our more hostile families remain absent, there must be at least 500 people here.

EMMA : It seems most of families number a dozen or more. We're the only one with so few... LEN : You idiot. Who cares about that? Remember what Camus said?

*FLASHBACK*

CAMUS : We have to pay our respects to the Bloody Lady, but we simply can’t afford to send too many of our men. It will hurt the overall operation of our casino. *FLASHBACK END*

EMMA : It's honestly so amazing though. Imagine being able to just rent such a huge castle for a simple get-together... Indeed, we’d all traveled far from the casino district of Graveland to this glittering old castle. VICTOR : Did you know that this castle is actually property of the Graveland’s royal family. EMMA : Whoa, royalty!? Then how are they able to use a venue like this? YMIR : Haven't you heard? The royal family of Graveland and the Bloody Lady are good friends thanks to the casinos bringing in tourists and turning large amounts of profit for the country. LEN : Ha. They can do whatever the hell they want, including building an entire casino inside this ancient castle.

VICTOR : It's an opportunity to demonstrate the power of the Bloody Lady. I'm certainly going to make a big show of it! EMMA : But the scale of the event is still amazing... YMIR : Emma? Not to scare you, but it would be wise to exercise caution around these people... As the host said, there are many families from the underworld gathered here... They may look friendly at first glance, but don’t forget they still belong to dangerous organizations... VICTOR : Well, I doubt anything would happen out in the open, but it would still be foolish to let our guard down so easily.

?? : But if you're going to a party, you have to have fun. There is no point in pretty flowers like you staying on the wall! EMMA : Liebe? LIEBE : I'm sorry to bother you, but I'd hate to miss out on an opportunity to get to know you better. BURN : hahaha! Here comes Burn! Now that I'm here, you can rest easy, no matter what happens! EMMA : What, Burn and Sparrow are also here!? SPARROW : Hey, why did you have to pull me into this too, Burn!? BURN : To protect Emma of course!

SPARROW : That doesn’t answer my question! YMIR : Isn't it great? I think it's a good thing to have more people to protect Emma. She's going to stand out no matter what she does, and it’s only a matter of time before some shady guy tries to grab her. LIEBE : I can agree with that, because I would grab at her instantly~ LEN : Don't make the mistake of materializing guys, you're just gonna stir shit and cause a lot of fucking trouble. VICTOR : That much is true. The sudden appearance of three black fairies would undoubtedly startle people and cause a huge commotion. LIEBE : A commotion, huh? I don't want to cause trouble for Emma, so I'll just be quiet and stay by your side for now. Emma, you may miss my touch, but can you be patient for but a moment longer, for me?

EMMA : I see you’re the same as ever, Liebe. But it's a party and I'm glad we can all three spend time together like this!

BURN : Oh! I'll take good care of you and keep you safe, you can trust me! SPARROW : I'd go back into the key if I could. VICTOR : Sparrow, since you're here, why not enjoy the atmosphere? LIEBE : Yes, yes. And why don't you try to live a little and blend in while you’re at it? With a snap of his fingers, Liebe's and Sparrow's appearances warp, replaced with that of glamorous gentlemen.

EMMA : Wow, you two look great! BURN : Oh, a form change! I think you look very heroic, my friends.

Burn himself has no intention of changing his attire, and gives a thumbs-up to his fellow fairies.

EMMA : (I guess all that matters to Burn is whether he sees their attire as "heroic" or not...) SPARROW : I don't want a new outfit! I was fine! LEN : Oh, fucking shut the fuck up! All of a sudden, I could feel someone's eyes on me.

MALE GUEST 1 : How unexpected, what’s a pretty little thing like you doing in a place like this. MALE GUEST 2 : Would you like to have a drink and chat with us? EMMA : What? No, I'm just一 YMIR : Hey, back off. This is my girl. What do you want? Before I can reply, I feel a weight against my shoulder pulling me back a step and guiding me to lean gently into Ymir. The men laughed and shrugged, walking away in the appearance of Ymir. EMMA : Thank you, Ymir.

YMIR : You're welcome ♪ I know it's strange, but don't get too far away from me, okay? LIEBE : Okay!! I think I'm gonna materialize now! BURN : I agree! VICTOR : You two, don't materialize. Ymir, don't flirt so much.

━ After chatting and laughing for a while, the host's voice echoed through the hall again.

HOST : As part of the entertainment here tonight, we will be playing a game... The King’s Game. It's quite simple. If you win, and become king, you will have the right to rule over everyone here tonight at your leisure. Whether that’s serving your meals, polishing your shoes, or making your wildest dreams come true.

HOST : There is but one rule: You are forbidden from taking each other’s lives. Beyond that, we will not condemn you for doing anything to anyone. MALE PARTICIPANT 1 : What the hell are you talking about? Why would we ever agree to that!? HOST : Ha ha, well, you do have the right to refuse, however, as you are in the belly of the Bloody Lady, that wouldn’t exactly be your wisest choice, now, would it?

The venue, which had been filled with jeers, fell to a sudden and deathly silence at the implications of the host’s words.

VICTOR : Hmm... And there’s me thinking tonight would just be fun. YMIR : Looks like they’re deadly serious about this. LEN : Hehe...The right to rule over all others... How interesting! And just like that, the glamorous atmosphere of the castle had shifted, and you could the tension with a knife. The night of whirling desires had began.

VICTOR'S PAST STORY #2

━

It had been ten long years since I’d last returned to my parents' house, and still all that awaited me was my mother standing at the bar with that same furious look on her face. VICTOR'S MOTHER : How dare you come back here, you stupid son of a bitch! VICTOR : No, no, no, wait! Put down the bottle of liquor first! VICTOR'S MOTHER : Shut up, Victor! What the hell do you think you're doing here? VICTOR : Wait a minute! Don't tell me that my own mother still believes that ridiculous rumor! I did not seduce the princess or torture her or make her into my personal slave!

━ 

Yes, that's right. Thinking back, my life started to go awry after that. I was never the home body type, I just hung out with various girls, and lived a very messy life. And then, there was this one girl who became a very good friend of mine... GIRL : Hey, Victor. Do you like me? VICTOR : Hmm? Yes, of course. GIRL : I love you too, Victor! We are in love, aren't we? VICTOR : Hah, I guess so. GIRL : I'm so happy! Hey. Would you like to meet my father sometime? VICTOR : What? GIRL : We're in a relationship. You should probably meet each other, if you think we have a future together! VICTOR : (Wait, is she serious? Does this mean she wants to get married?) VICTOR : (No, no, we've only been on a few dates -- This is crazy...?) But the girl was completely oblivious to my thousand yard stare. VICTOR : (I don't want to make any trouble, I just need find the right time to leave...) I should have seen it coming... At the time, I wasn’t paying much mind to the situation. I was just having fun, after all. But this girl was no ordinary girl...

A CERTAIN KING : My beautiful princess! What a fool! To be bewitched by such a playboy! I won't allow it! I'll never forgive you! Really, I know it sounds unbelievable, but it seems that girl I befriended was the princess of a very powerful country who had come to visit me in secret. MAN 1 : Hey, did you hear about Victor...? MAN 2 : Yeah, he's been messing around with some princess, mutilating her, right? MAN 1 : That poor girl... She's so obsessed with him. I hear the king is royally pissed off. Those rumors spread like wildfire, no thanks in part to my reputation. But I can assure you, there was no truth to them. I’d never laid a hand on her. We hadn’t done anything, we were still comfortably in the bounds of a happy friendship. But that alone, seemed to be proof enough that I was in love with her. At least in the eyes of the princess. Before I knew, things had spiraled completely out of control. I had no choice but to lay low at my parent’s house until things blew over. VICTOR'S MOTHER : Hey, guys, check this out... That king's messenger brought it! VICTOR : Seriously? What the hell is that...? A letter ? The letter simply stated : "Take responsibility and marry my daughter, or pay with your life. Choose quickly." VICTOR : What the--!? No fucking way! I'm not ready to die or get married yet! VICTOR'S MOTHER : Well then, I guess I'll just have to right my son’s crimes myself! VICTOR : Whoa! Hey, what!? Wait, wait! You're really going to kill me!?  Seriously, please calm down...!!
