Masquerade Knights Drama CD -addition- Track 3. Trust - Fritz / Ritsu Sakuma
(Fritz) Ritsu: Fuuaa, I know it's a little late to say this, but I don't think I'm cut out for things like balls and big gatherings. The room's too bright, people's obvious desires make my stomach churn, and the musics so loud it hurts my ears. Ehh? That's cold. I like Ohimesama because she's always on my side. You do bare your fangs innocently every now and then, though. You're such a bad girl.
*Commotion within the ballroom*
(Fritz) Ritsu: Aah, the lights went out. It's strange that all of the windows opened all at once, too. I hope nothing bad happens, but we'll be fine. Night-time is my specialty, after all, so I can see just fine like this. But staying here might be dangerous, it'll be bad if we get stuck in the crowd and get hurt. Let's take cover over here for a bit, instead. Come here, Ohimesama. Don't let go of my hand. Alright, we've made it to the balcony. The wind's pretty calm, so we should be able to relax here. The full moon is beautiful, isn't it? There's not a single cloud in the sky. It's just perfect for tonight. Yeah, now that the lights from the castle have gone out, you can see the stars clearly too. I think the moonlight is enough for me, though. I can see your face clearly like this. You can see me too, right? Of course you can, when we're already this close. Ah, someone might be coming. Should we move somewhere else?
*Commotion outside on the balcony*
(Fritz) Ritsu: Don't move. It would be bad if you fell, right? Mm-n, I can fly, that's normal, isn't it? You can't? Well, let's get going.
(Fritz) Ritsu: Ok~ay, we're here. Watch your step, and don't stray too far away from me, if you fall off the roof, you'll definitely die for sure. It's fine, as long as you hold tight on to me, you'll be okay. Fufu, you're like a baby clutching on to a blanket, refusing to let go. You're so cute when you're giving it your all like this. It's my fault, really, but if I didn't act the way I did, we never would've been alone together like this, right? It's the same with the castle. There's always so many people watching, no matter where we go. Well, it's ironic, since I'm one of those people who's supposed to be watching over you. This station is in the city, after all, so there's nothing we can do about that. I never get tired of looking at you. When you're happy, you scrunch your face up and laugh, when you're sad, you slump over like a wet dog in the rain. I used to have those kinds of emotions myself, back in the day. But watching you like this, Ohimesama, makes me feel nostalgic. Well, I've lived much longer than you, after all. What's with that look? I'm not that much older than you? Ahaha, well, it's not really a fair comparison, our lifespans are so different, after all. I'm a vampire, you know. I'll live many, many times longer than you. So, in other words, even when the day comes where you succumb to eternal sleep, I'll continue walking the night alone, unchanged like everything else. That's what makes it so lonely. I stopped getting involved with humans a long time ago. If I'm friendly towards them, they have expectations. If I keep my distance, I don't lose anything. That's how I continue passing the time through tens of thousands of dark nights. And yet, I always find myself drawn back to you. I know deep down that I shouldn't get involved with the depths of people's emotions or feel the warmth of them, that I'll just find myself hurt again. But, even now, I find myself reaching out to grab you. Hey, do you know the vampire's curse? Should I share it with you? I'll sink my fangs into your slender neck and turn you into a shadow of the night, just like me. Then, things like lifespan won't matter anymore, right? You'll sleep forever in my arms, for eternity. But, if I did that, Cassius and the others would be mad at me. You're my number one in the whole world, Ohimesama, but no matter what, I love those guys so much, too. And above all else, I don't want to lose the place that I belong. Being with you and everyone else is the greatest happiness for me right now. So I won't sink my fangs in you just yet. Instead, I'll offer you my loyalty as a knight. It's customary to kiss the back of your hand, right? ... I'll remain a knight for now. But when you're finally ready, come to me. I'll give you my eternity, and all of my love. I'll wait for you forever, my sweet Ohimesama. Should we head back now? Since you've been gone for so long, I'm sure the others must be looking for you with worried expressions on their faces. Oops~ looks like the lights came back on, just in time. I guess this is the end of our dream. I'll make sure all of the lights are turned off in the castle, though. What a niche ability for a vampire like me, right? Uwa, don't glare at me like that. Our truth remains hidden in the dark, so I'll dance with you once more. Please take my hand, Ohimesama.
