“Ah, the less-superior Hoshidan prince.” Niles turned his attention to Takumi, lifting himself up from the ground and grinning at him. “What other connotation would my actions have at night, Princey? Everyone knows that every nightly activity is dirty and crude~!”

It’s a crime how not-spoiled I am! Have I really fallen out of favor with the royals and the muscleheads of this world?

“You are right, Princey. Just feels like I should be acknowledged for my hard work like Elise does with Arthur and Effie.” Niles sighed, twirling into Takumi’s arms and holding onto his shoulders all dramatic-like. “Won’t you praise me and make me feel special~?”

“Oh, you like to receive?” Niles hummed as he composes himself and whispered gently into Takumi’s ear. “Oh, the things I would praise about you 𝙞𝙢𝙢𝙚𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙮.” The outlaw led his hands down to Takumi’s waist. “What would Lord Leo do if he caught us~?”

“Curious, aren’t we? Is there a certain feeling of love that you’re hiding from me, Mr. Inferior?” The white-haired outlaw licked up at Takumi’s cheek, moaning softly as he did so. “I’d make you feel like a powerful king...or a disgusting commoner. Choose your pick, Takumi~”
