Touko Kuzuha Route Review

a few things of note:

I mainly play the adult version; I have an alt account but it is the regular version)

I chose the 妖艶 ending as it was the one showed for the previews (at least in the adult PV); I can confirm that this end does continue to Kuzuha's current Christmas story event story

Based on the way my uni structured its Japanese language classes, I can only say my Japanese fluency level is around 中級 level but still kept a dictionary app by my side

I am not a translator and I will not be translating his route

keep in mind that this is MY opinion, you are free to have your own and read his route as you wish

Plot: 3.5/5 ★

Kuzuha as a character: 4/5 ★

Kuzuha as a partner in a romantic relationship: 1.5/5 ★ (I am being generous)

Kuzuha when it comes to smutty situations: 8/5 ★

MC: 2/5 ★ (Again, I am being generous)

Personal route enjoyment: 3.5/5 ★

tw: dubcon, self-harm

MASSIVE spoilers up ahead so read at your own risk

If I were to summarise his route in one statement its: one-night-stand turns into a friends with (medicinal) benefits relationship that becomes a situationship until these dumbasses finally learn that direct communication is perhaps the IDEAL solution.

Can you see why I want to squeeze him?

Starting with plot, it reads like a fluffy and spicy story, heavily focused on the situationship they landed themselves in which has the air of a romcom. Seriously MC, you just let this guy who you don't know very well crash your apartment and live with you? Just because you slept with him once and found him petting a fluffy cat later on? Kuzuha is incredibly unserious as well for the most part but it is entertaining to see whatever the hell he is up to with MC, if he's going to tease her or spoil her - albeit, usually in bed. Though truth be told, I could not really see much of the romantic chemistry between them, mostly sexual chemistry and understandably so. For a romcom-y theme, I was not expecting something too high stakes but I was actually kept at the edge of my seat once the story hit around the 3/4 point as something I did not even consider an eventual side plot would turn into. Everything before the 3/4 point was very rom-com with a side of magical healing. Storywise, things sped up really quickly after that point, but so did the resolution. I had no issues with the pacing thus far, but the resolution was a bit fast. Nevertheless, it was entertaining, and I will do his route again after hopping unto a fresh route.

Next, Kuzuha himself. Oh boy. Oh boy, oh boy. Wow, you really are a mess with a pretty face. His character profile labelling him "trash" [クズ] is not a joke in the slightest, he is one, and hell, he knows it with zero remorse. Even Tsubaki shit talks to MC in private that Kuzuha is a bit of a shit and neither of them will ever deny it. It makes sense that little pretty trashy kitsune becomes jealous of Ryo once MC brings the topic of her new co-worker/childhood classmate/first crush up. And it is because he knows deep down, he's not that reliable at all, save for his healing magic and his abundant sex appeal.

However as much as I will affectionately clown him, he does have his reasons why he's flippant, and everything ties back to him as the Kuzunoha kitsune. As kitsune, his liver is hunted down for the fact it has high healing capabilities, he has been hunted down in the past (by humans and youma alike) and even in the present (only by youma now), he does dislike the fact he is only seen as useful for this healing aspect. Not to mention physically painful with how parts of his liver have to be taken away and despite his highly regenerative state, its taxing to do. Moreso when it is not by his free will. Next, he is Kuzunoha from legend - there are many variants mind you, but Cybird x DMM did their own spin on it. TLDR how the legend is explained ingame: more than a thousand years back while he was being hunted down in fox form, he was caught in a trap, and he was set free by Abe no Yasuna. As gratitude, Kuzuha transformed into a beautiful woman and lived with Abe no Yasuna and the child of the latter, taking on the role of woman of the house/step in mother. A few years passed safely but then one day, Kuzuha's true identity as kitsune was revealed, and thus was chased out from the home, never seeing them again.

This then led him to the conclusion: "Love is not reciprocal. Either you take it, or it is taken from you."

Ouch.

And he does live with this conclusion set in stone for more than a thousand years until he meets MC and does not realise he is actively falling for her as the weeks go by when living with her. "Love is a one-way road," he said at the beginning. Not in this otome game, sir, it's only a one-way road because you're fictional.

All that aside, he has some very heartwarming sides to him. Despite his devil may care attitude and his love is never returned beliefs, he cannot change the fact he's genuinely compassionate towards others. It is bittersweet to read him filled with so much empathy for others cannot understand himself at the slightest. Healing MC's inability to sleep well in a very unconventional way when she didn't even ask for it at the start, to the point of actively being the one to stab himself to get a piece of his liver out to help save someone's life because he knows firsthand the pain and difference of a youma and human relationship. Characters who are a living irony of themselves am I right?

Not to mention that gentle side of his is further explored once he genuinely starts considering MC as a romantic partner. Still a big tease though .

But it does not mean he is entirely exempt from his flaws. I will address something that I did have issues with since the start: he technically coerced MC into going further with him in their first chapter. She was unsure about having sex with him at first but just a few heated moments later, one thing led to another then yup they screwed. By the time she realised it, it was too late as they already did the deed and she was shortly angry with him. Narrativewise, she was technically trapped in a "fuck him or your spirit disappears when the incense fully burns out" but he only told her that AFTER instead of the BEGINNING. Kuzuha... That is A CHOICE to make, and not a good one - considering you were the one who gave her the incense sticks in the first place 💀 Not entirely comfy with that situation even if he treated her gently. Sure he's the gentlest suitor in the starter pack, but that's just a little bit hmmmmmmmmmm. He has other flaws as well but that is my biggest gripe with him.

Would I consider him as a good romantic partner? Not exactly on that thread given how he has boundaries he wants respected but does not respect others' boundaries. He has a full point for actively looking out for MC and listening to her and responding to that at least. But he is 100% not the type of guy MC can show to her parents and get instant approval for a few other glaring issues.

This is how I see him maybe meeting the parents going in my head:

"So how did you meet?"

"Um..."

"What's your job?"

"Haha, about that-"

When it comes to sexy times in his route, there's a lot of very intensely heated moments, given his nature and the fact he's 90% in close proximity to her because he ends up living with her like a roommate/friend with benefits. Mugenro by itself has very lengthy sex scenes, and partially voiced so yes please do not be like me who forgets to turn down the volume 💀 He is a big tease, but once he knows how desperate she is, oh he's rewarding her a hundred times over. He's skilled, good grief, he knows it and makes use of everything he knows to send anyone to high heaven. Also outdoor sex does happen in one of the avatar challenges, yes I got it because I was curious and I am damn well not regretting it. Just saying, his voice getting raspy had me going, I need to hear this at home. Alone. Ehe.

Ok enough about Kuzuha, time to turn to MC. Girl... Because why. On one hand, I actively like the fact she's quite possessive towards him at the end, directly telling him there's a boundary he should never cross with her and he listens. But for the rest of the time, sweetie, there's a fine line being nice and then being trodded underfoot. And where is your common sense girl, you barely knew the guy and you're letting him crash at your place immediately? She has all the position to refuse him but nooooo. I cannot blame her for being attracted to Kuzuha with his debonair charm, but I do want to wring her like laundry sometimes with how downright idiotic she can get. Even she's not safe from being scolded by Kuzuha himself for running into a very dangerous situation. Maybe sit down with the blindfold from seeing the red flags for a moment and maybe come to terms with the different lifespans for a bit. Even just a little bit. I will give her a full point for taking on the usually active role instead of being passive and letting him make the decisions for her as she is more decisive than this free-spirited fox, but otherwise, ma'am you have a brain, don't let it waste away.

Overall, I did enjoy Kuzuha's route and will do it again to full clear everything, just not now. Not my true cup of tea, but he is arguably the nicest of the suitors so far and I am glad I read his route first. And because he's cute. If I make a plushie of him, he's going to become my new stress toy.

Have a blushie Kuzuha for the end:

K, bye.

Jude Jazza’s 2nd Birthday: “The Cursed Moon Within His Merciless Arms” Chapter 1

MDNI. This is a fan translation. 100% accuracy cannot be guaranteed. Please expect grammatical errors and lack of nuance. Cybird owns everything. Re-blogs are appreciated, but please do not repost or claim my translations as your own. Thank you for your support! ☾⋆

In these crazy days, it’s impossible to remember everything that occurs.

A week ago, a month ago, a year ago….I don’t think there are many who remember exactly what they were doing.

….But, everyone should be able to remember a piece of something that stood out to them.

Just as the moon waxes and wanes, so its’ brilliant face gradually changes.

If I could choose which part of each day I’d want to illuminate and etch it into my mind…..I’d illuminate it’s happiness.

That feeling becomes even stronger on the birthday of someone precious to me.

Kate: Mngh….

When I woke up in bed that morning, I saw Jude sleeping next to me, and I couldn’t help but melt.

I’d heard that he’d be busy at Raven company last night, and might be unable to come home….

I’m so happy he came back during the night and slept next to me.

(Today’s Jude’s birthday)

(I wanted to say “Happy Birthday” before anyone else, so I’m glad you came back.)

Jude: …..

Jude breathed peacefully in his sleep and showed no signs of waking.

(….He seems exhausted, I’ll let him sleep a bit longer.)

Careful not to make any noise, I started to sneak out of bed.

Despite that, Jude pulled me back from my waist and locked me in arms.

Kate: Jude….?

Jude: Cold.

Even with that limited explanation, it’s clear that he’s holding me back….

Kate: Do you want me to keep you warm?

Kate: Or maybe it’s just an excuse to cling to me?

I was so happy that Jude wanted me that I ended up teasing him without meaning to.

Kate: ….Oof!

Immediately, his arms squeezed me so tightly that my joints creaked, and I let out a groan.

身体が軋み “Shintai ga kishimi” = body creaks, changed to joints creaked

Jude: Must be half asleep for sayin’ such thin’s aintcha?

Kate: Ugh, that hurts…..! I just woke up, so please overlook my groggy comment….!

When I slapped Jude’s constricting arms as a sign of surrender, they finally loosened.

Jude: Woke up early this mornin’ hearin’ yer stupid comment.

Kate: …..It’s invigorating to wake up to the sound of your beloved’s voice. Good morning.

Kate: Oh, and Happy Birthday!

Jude: ….Yeah, thanks.

Jude replied disinterestedly as he sat up.

Kate: By the way, are you free today?

Even though I told him ahead of time that I wanted to spend his birthday together,

Jude has to pencil things into his schedule, so I asked him again.

Jude: Gotta business meetin.’ But….another employee can handle it.

Jude: I can take off work ‘n spend time with ya.

Jude: On the other hand -

Jude grabbed chin and pierced me with his provocative amethyst eyes.

Jude: — Can ya satisfy me ‘nough for the whole day, princess?

Kate: ….That’s what I plan to do!

After a light breakfast at a restaurant, we headed into town.

On his first birthday since becoming Jude’s girlfriend, my heart brimmed with excitement and my steps felt light.

However, the happy feeling was brief…..

Tanned Man: Where’d he go?! Jude Jazza!

Neurotic Looking Man: We have him cornered, he shouldn’t have gone far. You lot hurry up and find him!

Neurotic Looking Man: Don’t think you’ll get away…..I’ll kill you!

Although it was his precious birthday, we were hiding in the shadows of an alley.

Kate: ….Jude, who are they?

Jude: Buncha marine insurance guys runnin’ a shady business.

Jude: Even if an accident occurs, they’re known for not payin’ out, claimin’ it ain’t covered.

Jude: It was interferin’ with business ‘n an eyesore, so last month I dug up information ‘n sank ‘em.

Kate: And so that’s why they’ve got it out for you….

Kate: ….We could more or less escape. That house over there belongs to an older woman I was close to as postwoman.

I pointed to a house with a red roof on the other side of the wall.

Kate: I think if I ask, we can enter the back door and exit the front door onto the main street without be detected.

Jude: Then enterin’ the main road, we can blend into the crowd ‘n make a getaway.

Jude: ….What? Seems like ya wanna say somethin’ else.

(Naturally, Jude knows what I’m thinking.)

Kate: Even if we do get away, your enemies will likely target you again Jude….

Kate: The other option is to meet them head on.

I pulled up my skirt that I bought to wear specifically for Jude’s birthday.

A small gun was strapped to my thigh in it’s holster.

Kate: Don’t you think they should be held responsible for ruining your birthday?

Jude: Ha…such a dangerous woman.

Kate: The person I fell in love with is dangerous.

At my retort, Jude’s lips curled with amusement.

Jude: ….Oh yeah. Well then, whatcha gonna show me?

[bespectacledbun]

tbh I didn't think anyone was actually going to ask about this so this may be a little late but @candied-boys @idkwhatimd0ingatall there are several minor implications in both gilbert's main route as well as clavis's even route in the current JP horror night se that basically imply that. uh. imply that there might have been a bit of Ye Olde Medieval Europe Inceste going on in the Obsidian and Rhodolite royal families 💀 under the cut for heavy jp spoilers (and also just. general cw for the topic? I suppose)

GILBERT'S MAIN ROUTE: uh, spoiler alert, Gilbert and Yves are first cousins (their mothers were sisters). it's kind of been hinted at since Gil first got introduced, and everyone's basically speculated it anyway so. there it is.

so moving on, in around ch 5? of gilbert's main route, it was mentioned that Yves "the blood of Obsidian's imperial household" in him, aka the Kloss family is the imperial family and has been for generations. at some point, the Kloss household became a separate branch family from the imperial family, but it's very much implied the emperor has Kloss blood in him, and so does Gilbert from both his father and mother 💀 this, combined with how Gilbert and Yves's mother were both genetically very weak and chronically ill their whole lives (and Yves having a much smaller stature than all his brothers) led to me and my friends inferring that there miiiiight have been some weakening of the bloodline due to generations of cousins marrying cousins (and reminder, they're royals. and also fictional)

HORROR NIGHT SE, CLAVIS'S ROUTE: before we get into the actual SE, I do want to point out how in ch 17 from Jin's route, it's mentioned that the previous queen was a noble who had "legitimate royal lineage". a similar line in mentioned somewhere in Chev's route too, when Jin talks about his mother being the previous Belle, but quite frankly I don't have the energy to look for it if it's in a side story so ahshdhfg. but keep this in mind, cause it'll be important

Clavis's route in the current JP story event has Clavis and Emma looking for a supposedly haunted portrait in the royal treasury as a part of a "test of courage". the subject of the portrait is alleged to be Vivienne Michel, an ancestor of Chevalier from 150 years ago (likely his great-great-grandmother). Vivienne is the wife of the infamous Rose Knight, a notable member of the Michel family who was part of the royal family and living in the palace at the time. Clavis and Emma go to the library to learn more about her, and Clavis himself says the Michel family has existed "since the founding of Rhodolite"; they are a knight family that has existed for centuries ever since the country was ruled by knights and, same as the Kloss family, branched off into a separate household at some point in history, before Queen Michel married the previous king and had Chevalier

soooooo yeah, cybird pretty much just confirmed there's been cousins intermarrying with the Klosses and Michels for.... A While. do what you will with that information :') unrelated fun fact: 'Michel' is the French form of 'Michael', and Michael the Archangel is the patron saint of war in the Catholic Church. fitting name for a family of knights 😂

so, this happened in my server just now:

MIDNIGHT CINDERELLA MEMORIAL POST

The Midnight Cinderella app will be closed on Monday August 26th, 2024 (5 PM JST). The English version was actively updated from 2014 to 2021 when Cybird announced the ceasing of operations for MidCin, but the app remained accessible until today. I'm sure I'm not the only one who mourns the loss of it even after all these years of discontinuation, so I wanted to put together a post to properly say goodbye to it. Trying my best not to make it all too sappy - I'd rather look at it as a show that reached its final episode. Some things might be left unresolved but in the end, you remember the cast and the emotions they made you feel more than the actual plot. Nowadays there arguably may be better titles by Cybird out there, but for me, the simplicity of MidCin was what made the details so memorable.

1. VIDEO - POV: You're playing Midnight Cinderella (for 10 minutes)

The 10-minute version (without sound) is accessible via the link above (opens in Google Docs) This one I was really excited about recording! It's just your normal day playing midcin, I'm sure many will find it nostalgic and comforting. You log in, claim your daily bonus (I used the chance to do a present box reveal, 90+ items, many of which you might recognize from route grace checks), play the garden gacha (in my case, I used up all the points I had accumulated, 7800 which equals 39 solos), do your princess lessons, change your avatar, greet your friends, read 1/5 of today's free story parts, check the ranking and your stats, look at your memories directory. The video has no sound, as the game wouldn't let me turn it on (you will see me try to do so throughout the video...) but later on I got it to work so I recorded a one-minute video (the one imported above) of me replenishing stamina just for those iconic sound effects that you either loved or absolutely couldn't stand the volume of, haha.

2. A Midnight Cinderella playlist (spotify link)

While I wasn't there for the early days of midcin, the songs I associated with the game almost always captured this very specifically nostalgic 90s-10s period, you'll see what I mean. Many of those are taken from 8track playlists dedicated to Midnight Cinderella, and if I'm not mistaken you can still look at what is left of them if you search them up. Others are just my very random interpretations of the route stories and the characters.

3. Fic recommendations

We have a lovely community of creatives and there are still so many works left behind which you can check out on the tags! But especially for fics I wanted to list some that truly touched me during the years (all links open in ao3) -

i'm on fire and its NSFW bonus scene bloodstream by a deleted user - words are not enough for this one. It's like it meant more than Nico's whole route for me at one point, and the songs are forever in my heart as Nico songs...

MidCin Works by DBMidCin (SoftSen) - ALL of these. This is my go-to collection of writings for midcin when I start to miss the game, it has a little bit of everything. The headcanon of Giles teaching his girls French for instance is one of the things I still remember reading like it was yesterday!

Bedroom Etiquette (NSFW) by RubyLeeRay - Because this is the dream. Doing something forbidden with your tutor Giles is the ultimate fantasy, I swear. I just love it.

And of course, many, many more. There are currently 166 works on the midcin tag in Ao3, and I'm sure there are a lot of hidden gems here on tumblr as well! Reminder that writers LOVE it when you interact with their old works, it's not weird, you shouldn't hesitate doing so if you find yourself enjoying any of them! <3

4. My own humble collection of MidCin writings on my writing blog @xxsycamore!

Maid, Butler, Chamberlain (NSFW) - Nico x MC with Giles joining them

Grabbles: 💋 Demand for a kiss, right here, right now (GILES); 👔 Stealing their clothes to cuddle when you miss them (BYRON); more coming soon as there are still some in my askbox and I plan on including midcin in future short writings request openings too.

Shared Moments (NSFW) - Nico x Reader - Secret relationship

Ice-cold heat (NSFW) - Byron x Reader - Temperature play

Double the Surprise - Alyn and Leo birthday fic

Leo Crawford having a misadventure with a cat (ao3 link) - crack fic featuring most of the suitors

5. Out of context Midnight Cinderella screenshots

This is a sideblog of mine dedicated to posting out-of-context funny screenshots that I took while playing the routes - @oocmidcin . If you have some of your own that are not on there, you're free to submit them and add to the archive!

6. The perfect MidCin song - The Moon Will Sing by The Crane Wives

When I first discovered this song back in 2020 I dreamed of making it into a midcin music video with simplistic art and animations... It ended up being just something you daydream in detail about while in the car, but that's alright. I could at least share my vision with you! Disclaimer, this is just an interpretation and obviously it can't fit all characters ideally - In the brackets, I explain how the lyric is related to them and usually it reveals their backstories. Some of the details I've already forgotten, sorry if it's inaccurate.)

Tell me once again

I could have been anyone, anyone else

Before you made the choice for me

(Giles - his family making the choice for him since birth and later disowning him once he failed to become a knight due to his illness)

My feet knew the path

We walked in the dark, in the dark

I never gave a single thought to where it might lead

(Nico - wandering the streets with his mother once they were thrown out of Stein castle because she was a commoner having an affair with Byron's father, the King)

All those empty rooms

We could have been anywhere, anywhere else

Instead I made a bed with apathy

(Robert - the empty rooms of the once flourishing palace of the country that Robert ruled and led to demise, nowadays becoming a mere court painter)

My heart knew the weight

Ten years' worth of dust and neglect

We made our peace with weariness and let it be

(Leo - the years in which Alyn didn't speak to him, after the death of their parents)

The moon will sing a song for me

I loved you like the sun

Bore the shadows that you made

With no light of my own

(Albert - loyally standing in king Byron's shadow)

Name your courage now

We could have had anything, anything else

Instead you hoarded all that's left of me

(Sid - his relationship with his fiance that he agreed upon just to find out more about his parents by getting close to her father)

Swallowing your doubt

Like swords to the pit of my belly

I want to feel the fire that you kept from me

(Alyn - searching for answers about the murder of his family and the fire that burnt down their home)

I shine only with the light you gave me

(I could have been anyone, anyone)

(Louis - being a nobody and MC being his sun)

7. It goes on

I went to read what I could of chapter 4 of Rayvis' route, using my last two chapter tickets as well, thinking it won't make me cry. And then I'm hit with those familiar things.

So let's close this with a word about the things that never change in the universe of Midnight Cinderella.

Stumbling down the grand staircase and right into the arms of somebody. Escaping the palace at midnight with Nico's help. Sitting at breakfast with Giles giving you your schedule for the day. Nico's teasing little smile as he accompanies you everywhere and listens to your relationship troubles. The way he's just a little suspicious at times. Finding Robert painting in the garden of Wysteria palace. Going to the room of your chosen suitor for the first time and meeting a pet there. Leo teaching you history and politics in his office. Dance lessons with Louis. Needing those dance lessons because King Byron is coming to Wysteria and a ball is going to take place. The bureaucrats being unhappy with you as a princess elect, no matter what. Galloping on a horse with Alyn who just protected you from an enemy attack. Getting information from a certain flirty merchant at a bar. Albert bickering with Nico, Sid teasing Louis. Being introduced to Archduke Herneit at Stein castle. King Byron appreciating the night sky. The sight of your yellow and orange princess elect room where on the large bed with its blue bedframe and tall see-through canopy you lie awake and think about the events of the day and how would a wise future Queen of Wysteria deal with the current situation. But ultimately you fall asleep, hearing the melancholically beautiful sounds of a violin coming from somewhere deep within your dream, and leave it all to the following day.

Thank you for everything, Midnight Cinderella!

"I'm Pregnant" with IkePri

We've seen how dating, their first time, and engagement proposals pan out, but what Cybird will never deliver to us is that pivotal moment that MC tells one of the LIs that she's expecting.

This is just my idea of how it will work out with each suitor. MC is AFAB, and all suitors are AMAB. Obvious mentions of pregnancy lie ahead. Just a fun little exercise to test out drabbles. 

[7/21] Jin, Chevalier, and Gilbert done

Jin

Jin is the king of pulling out, but somewhere along the line, he slipped up and it resulted in nothing so he started to get lax. Somewhere along the line, you two stopped worrying about it. More times than not he still denies you the creampie that it turns out he enjoys seeing seep out of you. But now you're late, and maybe you two should have been more vigilant.

It's hard to find the words. You confirmed it with a physician, and you know you need to tell him, but having a baby with a commoner churns up trauma for Jin, and you're afraid he'll turn you out.

He's worried. You have never looked so ashen. When you said you needed to talk, he dropped everything to give you time. His large hand palms your cheek. He dips down to look into your eyes. And in a voice that has helped you through countless times he says “Whatever it is, it'll be okay.”

“I'm pregnant.” You finally manage. 

Shock leaves him wide-eyed in surprise. It takes him a moment to zip through the thoughts that spring into his mind - a million possibilities, questions, and outcomes on what he'd do if this day had ever come. Then a grin lights up his face and you almost miss it as he wraps his arms around you and lifts you off the ground to hug tightly to him, spinning around from the sheer joy of having a child with you.

He's better than his father. And you're not his mother. And the world is a different place with the two of you together. He's more excited than you thought he'd be. He talks to your stomach even before the child can hear him. He wants to princess carry you everywhere. And he introduces you as the mother of his children.

Chevalier

The way Chev looked at you after you told him the news was chilling - not because it was his icy stare that had silenced rooms and struck fear in children, but because you had never seen him… scared. He was scared. The news was not happily recieved as you thought it would be.

As the two of you prepared for bed and you talked of your day, you broke the news with excitement and turned to see him stunned and staring. “Chevalier?” You called to him. His eyes cut from your belly to your face.

“It's okay. You're not a beast, and I'm not afraid of you.” Attempting to soothe his worries, you moved closer and slowly snuggled into his chest. “I'd be lucky to have a child just like you, because you're an amazing man.”

He relaxed in your arms, his own arms surrounded you as he dropped his chin to put his lips on your head. “I'd rather have a child like you who can love someone like me. You may never understand him if he's like me.”

“But I don't need to to love him.”

From that day forward, Chevalier dove into reading about medical studies and other literature on pregnancy, labor, and delivery. He stated checking up on you more often and bringing you all sorts of items said to help with pregnancy issues. He would have delivered your child himself except thankfully Clavis helped you talk him out of it. There are some things you'd rather he not be in the middle of.

Gilbert

“Do you want me to tell him?” Walter asked, a serious note in his voice.

“No. I want him to hear it from me.”

You knew the news of family was not a joyous thing in Obsidian. Especially for Gilbert. The land of deceit and decay, where families had murdered families for generations. Where the Emperor carried the sins of the Obsidian line that had wrought death and bloodshed countless times across this kingdom and others.

Gil had wanted to end it. To stop his line from continuing. And here you were, pregnant with his child. He wouldn't hurt you you were certain, but he might actually lock you up this time in order to prevent anybody else from hurting you. He could if he wanted. But living like that would leave everyone unhappy.

In order to prevent another bed-chaining, you visit him in his study. Before you made it two steps inside the room, he stood from his chair and moved towards you, worry clouding his face. He felt your anxiety. Something was not right with you, and he knew it.

“I'm fine,” you assured him as he quickly looked you over. “I just… have something to tell you.”

Gil's perfect smile covered up his momentary worry. “Surely, no one has bothered my little rabbit. Yet your heart is racing like the day we met.”

“No, no one has bothered me.” You step closer to him and wrap your arms around him, trapping him in place. With a lean of your back, you lock onto his single red eye to show how serious you are, and plainly explain, “I'm pregnant.”

His hands fly out, snatching you close to him as he squeezed you against his chest, holding onto you like you might somehow slip away if he were to let go. This is not the first time he has done this. You brace against him, giving him at least a few seconds of his desperate hugging before it begins to feel like he'll crush you. It always goes like this. 

“Gil! Gilbert, please. I can't breathe.”

He relinquished you, and as you gasped lungfuls of air, he scooped you up and strode out the door. “Wait! Gil! Where are we going?”

You were used to the palace by now that you knew he was headed towards his bedroom. Even if he didn't answer, you could already see how this was going to go. “Put me down! I am not going to be locked up and hidden away. That is not how you treat people you love.”

“Do you presume you can order me around?”

“No, but if you do this, I will never forgive you.”

Gilbert slowed his steps and came to a stop. In his eye you could see emotion wavering, and while you hadn't learned how to read him as well as he knew how to read you, you had learned to see the different sides of him that he only shared with you. 

“Now,” you began calmly, “I'll make some tea, and we can talk about this. At a table. With no shackles or rope.”

“I’m so weak to your requests. At least let me lock the doors so no one can bother us.”

“You can lock the doors if I get the key to them during our talk.”

Gilbert's biggest fear is losing someone he loves. He recognizes he has desires to control and cage MC to keep her safe from others, but he also knows those desires are not acceptable. He's at the mercy of his emotions, and despite being a genius, he often acts on whims, especially relating to MC. I'd love to explore this further. See how far we can push him.

Dating Victor Headcanons

because the ellis brainrot took a break for victor & i need cybird to feed me more of this grim reaper thank you

MDNI

౨ৎ Victor loves it when you play with his hair, especially after a stressful day. The feeling of your fingers combing through his silky long hair, the times your nails slightly scratch the nape of his neck in the process, and the braiding attempts sure must be the bliss only Heaven brings.

౨ৎ He spoils you absolutely rotten with gifts. If you look at an expensive item for even half a second too long you'll find it in your possession the next day. You could randomly mention there's a book you've been wanting but it's so in demand you can't get your hands on it and this man will pull every single string to give it to you.

౨ৎ Victor admits quite a few times he is greedy sooo... your honor, I say he's easily jealous. You'd think it doesn't extend to your interactions with Crown but it does. Jewel-like eyes capture the moment you give Elbert a gift that the lord deemed beautiful. Of course, Victor loves that you take care of his boys... but now he really wants a gift from you, too, and it's the promise of one hell of a night.

౨ৎ Corruption kink. His pupils dilate when he sees how your pure and shy expression morph into one of filthy lust and desire. It's his mission to let every one of your moans fill the room.

౨ৎ Dom. Even when you're topping or in control you feel like it is because Victor allowed you to do so, leaving the sense that he is still in control. It's not that the Queen's Aide struggles with the vulnerability of the bottom or sub position, but he's very much someone who loves to spoil and take care of the people under his wings. Perhaps, he also enjoys a bit of the power that comes along with being a dom.

౨ৎ Still, he absolutely loves having you ride him! Especially when you're trying to dom him... Aaah, you're just so cute <333 It'll take a lot for this man to be completely submissive so good luck to you, I know you can do it🫡

౨ৎ Get used to tea time because you're going to experience it a lot! Most of them are very spontaneous. You both can be working and as Victor sees you, he instantly feels the incredible urge to spoil and spend time with you. What achieves that better than tea time?

౨ৎ You can walk into a room and Victor's face will immediately beam up. Wide-spread arms and a huge grin will welcome you into every room as long as he's into it.

౨ৎ Calls you "My dear" and "My darling."

౨ৎ Victor loves to give you praise. He's always complimenting you for the smallest things and he's always so soft and patient. This praise reaches the bedroom and if "good girl/boy/preferred pronoun" is your weakness then this man will fully abuse it.

౨ৎ A shameless moaner in the bedroom and encourages you to be the same, but he is especially loud when you're the one topping him <3

Read this before interacting

Q: Day after day, I'm becoming even more tainted in your colours☆ I want Jude to taint me even more— please torment me however much you want♡

A: It's your choice to be, but I got no interest in a woman who talks all warm like that. Can't ya say somethin' with more guts like wanting to taint me instead? Ya ain't just some soft girl, are ya? Ha, now that frustrated look suits ya better. Way more entertain' than all that sweet talkin'.

Q: Before I knew it, I started collecting everything related to you, from cigarette butts to long swords and purple socks. Now my mind is filled with thoughts of wanting to be surrounded by everything you've ever laid your hands on. Is this normal...? Please share your thoughts.

A: Gettin' all happy over collectin' stuff related to me, huh. Ya got a screw loose up there, don't ya? Ya might be a good match for Elbert in the "crazy collection" category. Next thing I know, you'll be askin' for my hair or somethin'. Ain't givin' ya a single strand, though.

Q: Ever since the perfume arrived, I've been spritzing it on my pillow before going to bed (~_~) I'm glad I can sleep soundly because it's such a soothing scent (~_~)✨ It'd make me even happier if you could torment me🥺 Please torment me with your words, the same way you do with the little robin. Pretty please🥺

A: Ya ain't worth the effort if bein' marked gets ya waggin' yer tail all happy. Was actually thinkin' of praisin' ya for sleepin' well, but nah, forget it. Ya just some hopeless masochist who gets turned on by bein' messed with, ain't ya? Go cry in yer dreams, thinkin' I'm in there tormentin' ya. That kinda thing suits ya better.

Q: To my beloved Jude: I've loved you ever since the first time I heard your voice...!!!!! Also, I have a question for you. How can I join your company to be worked like a horse? I'm fully prepared to receive your endless teasing!! Sincerely, your loyal robin.

A: Fallin' in love with me just from hearin' my voice. Just how simple-minded can yer brain be? So, ya wanna be worked like a horse, yeah? Gotta hand it to ya, that's some guts ya got there. I'm all for hirin' capable people. Come see me tomorrow with yer acceptance letter ready. I'll give ya all the orders ya love to hear, tease ya to no end, and work you till you're nothin' but a worn-out rag.

Q: Please help me. I've become so obsessed with the colour purple, I'm going crazy. I even ended up dyeing my cooking purple... please tease me mercilessly to bring me back to my senses...!!

A: A certain quack doctor once said purple's a colour that kills yer appetite. Ya tryin' to go on a diet by makin' everythin' purple or something? ... Hah, if ya love it that much, don't beat around the bush and just say it straight. If ya tell me you'll be good, I'll think about messin' with ya.

Q: #IWantToBeMercilesslyTeasedByJude... what is this hashtag!! I-I definitely... do not want to be teased by Jude!! Instead, I want to work hard at my job and as a Fairytale Keeper to gain your recognition!! Please keep an eye out for me 🔥‼️

A: Dunno 'bout the hashtag, probably made by Ellis. But I'll tell ya one thing, yer whole body's screamin' that ya wanna be teased. Hah, ya hopeless masochist. Maybe I will tease ya, idiot. If ya wanna be teased, then go work hard at yer job or somethin'. Not that I care.

Q: Ever since meeting Jude, I've started feeling like I can say whatever I want as long as I add a "not that I care" to the end. But that behaviour is highly irresponsible— please do something about me!

A: That ain't my problem, it's not like I care. Hah, now ya got me feelin' like I can get away with sayin' just anythin' too. Not that I care, tho.

Q: Everyone I know is aware of how much I love Jude, and now if I get hooked onto something other than Jude, they immediately call me out for "cheating"... what should I do?

A: Whether ya a cheater or not don't matter to me. People's hearts ain't somethin' ya can tie down, and tryin' to do so is plain cocky. But screamin' someone's name and wanderin' off to look elsewhere? That ain't it. Should I sew yer mouth shut so ya can't say my name ever again?

Q: Meeting you has made me the happiest I've ever been in my life. I look forward to meeting you again, and I wish you all the happiness in the world. Please curse and tease me for life.

A: If meetin' me was the happiest thing in yer life, yer happiness' so damn cheap it's almost pitiful. Carry on like that and Ellis will kill ya by accident. ... Before wishin' for my happiness, why don't ya go make yerself happy first? Whatever.

Q: I want to lose weight, but I can't stop eating. Please tease me!

A: Idiot, who the hell eats while wantin' to lose weight? And if losin' weight were as easy as just usin' yer mouth to say it, no one'd be strugglin' with it ever. Now go fix that lazy beain and cocky attitude of yers. Tch, seriously so stupid.

Q: Please tell me who's the person you find the most fun in teasing lately. I want to use them as an example for when you mess with me!

A: Ha? An example for bein' messed with? What goes on in the brains of masochists like ya? All of ya are just plain masochistic, so it ain't fun to mess with ya. ... Ah, the younger twin from Vogel. That guy's surprisingly got some guts despite bein' a weakling. He's a lil' bit entertainin'.

Q: Could I become the chair in your office? I’ve been training my legs and back, so you can sit for hours no problem.

A: Ellis broke my chair, so I've been lookin’ for a new one. Starting tomorrow, come to Raven as my new chair. Naturally, a chair don’t need no hourly pay, don’t talk back, and can handle me sittin’ for hundreds of hours, right?

Q: I have a growing pile of unread books 📚. Will you sit next to me and read together?

A: Do I really need to start by teachin’ ya that readin’ is somethin’ ya do alone? I can’t stand havin’ someone sittin’ next to me while I’m readin’. Go pester Harrison; he’d probably put up with it—not that I care, tho. Anyway, once ya finish all those unread books, I might at least hear ya out.

Q: I need to focus on job hunting, but I can’t stop thinking about Jude… every word you say makes my heart flutter. This is all your fault, so please take responsibility and tease this hopeless version of me!

A: I don’t like people who can’t do what they’re supposed to, and hearin’ ‘I love you’ from someone who don't even got their own life together don’t mean a thing. If ya really love me that much, then ya can get yer shit together and do what needs to be done. Be a good girl and get it done, then I’ll tease ya ‘til ya scream like ya want me to.

Q: If you’re any kinder to me, I might end up fallin’ head over heels. Please tease me mercilessly so I don’t fall for you!

A: I don’t care if ya like or hate me. But does that mean ya fall for anyone who’s nice to ya? Hah, that's downright pathetic. Anyone can fake bein’ nice if they want to— it’s easy as hell. Before ya get fooled by superficial kindness, learn to see what’s really in someone’s heart. Tch, now ya’ve gone and made me say somethin’ unnecessary.

Q: I love your Queen’s English so much; I need regular doses of it!!! Please!!!

A: Oh, so ya love my Queen’s English, huh? Guess that means ya don’t like the way I usually talk, do ya? Hah, why ya lookin’ so panicked, idiot. When ya push yer wants on someone else, maybe think a bit harder before speakin’. Here’s your beloved Queen’s English—go on, cry tears of joy.

Q: I love you so much, Jude ❣️ Every single day, all I can think about is you 🥹. When I wake up, it’s ‘Good morning, Jude,’ at lunch it’s ‘Good afternoon, Jude,’ and before bed it’s ‘Good night, Jude.’ That’s how I spend every day 🥹. Do you hate people like me? Please tease me!!

A: Oh wow, good job bein’ so polite with all your greetin’s—I’m so moved I might cry. …Yeah, right, ya lovesick fool. Instead of spendin’ all day thinkin’ about me, don’t ya have plenty of other things to be doin’? If ya get your act together and still love me after that, maybe one time out of a hundred I’ll tease ya.

Q: Ellis deserves a bonus for managing to book your schedule for this!

A: What’s this ‘I want to be mercilessly teased by Jude’ bullshit? That idiot abused his position and booked my time without askin’ me first. Why the hell would I be payin’ him a bonus for causin’ me nothin’ but trouble? If anything, I oughta dock his pay. Damn idiot.

Q: Ever since the announcement about your main story release, my head’s been full of you, Jude. After the trailer came out, I’ve been daydreaming every night before bed, even during class and at work, so I can’t focus on anything. Please, take out your stress on me and tease this impatient daydreamer!

A: Oh yeah? Then why don’t ya tell me every single one of those little fantasies ya been havin’ about me? If ya be honest about it, I might reward ya by teasin’ ya. …Hah, what’s wrong? Can’t say it? Just what kinda filthy things’ve ya been imaginin’, ya pervert?

[rou-luxe]

bro I just had a revelation I don't know if I've been stupid or not yk how elbie and william are friends but that's not really explained

this might get long so it's under the cut

they're both "royals": queen of hearts and evil queen I wonder if there's a deeper reason

but since they're friends, that might be why William lets Elbert carry you out in his path (commence: Elbie commits second male lead 😭😭). but then, wouldn't William ask that of any of his coworkers? doesn't he trust them enough? or maybe since Victor wasn't around he chose the next option?

why is Elbert so obsessed with you during William route (apparently it's because being with William -> MC more happy / smiles -> more beautiful)? there's gotta be another reason other than that. and Elbert and William don't seem to interact that much either. PLEASE. PLEASE CYBIRD. I want to see them talk and drink tea together 🔪🔪

same here for Ellis??? are they just chill calm cuties??? harrison path-ers help me out here???

slightly suggestive up ahead (Alfons)

and then of course there's this 😨 100% assumption but...

Cybird. What do you mean "playmates". why didn't they just say buddies or friends like the other two pairs above... (Alfons has the ability to satisfy all of Liam's curiosities... ���)

does this mean canon yaoi these two don't seem to interact that much either so what is Cybird yapping about

strange how it's just the alice in wonderland trio that has this "well we don't talk much but we're friends" buddy system. the trio are on friendly terms in general also. maybe they're the one thing holding everyone together /j

roger feels like an honorary member of the briar duo at this point 😭😭

Part 1 | Part 2 | Bitter End | Premium End | Epilogue

One day, a few days after the event ended and the ‘Serial Doctor Murders’ case was solved.

(…Ellis seems to be really busy these days.)

Apparently Jude’s trading company, Raven, requires him to work day and night.

Today was no exception and he came to my room in the middle of the night.

I welcome him with a gentle smile and glance down at his profile as he sits relaxing on the bed.

Kate: “…Ellis, don’t push yourself too far.”

Ellis: “Eh?”

Kate: “You seem to be really busy lately. Have you been given any big tasks?”

Ellis: “Ah…Hmm…”

Ellis: “…I signed a new contract with Jude. This is my advance payment.”

Kate: “What?!”

(A new contract with Jude…?)

(Even though Ellis already works harder than the other employees.)

(Even so, he still made another contract with Jude, so it must be really important.)

Kate: “Ellis, what kind of contract did you make?”

Ellis: “…Do you want to know?”

Kate: “Of course! Ellis, if it’s important to you then I want to know too.”

Kate: “Besides… If there’s anything I can do, I’d like to help.”

Ellis: “Thank you. I’m glad you’d try so hard for me.”

He placed a small kiss on my forehead and gave me a mischievous smile.

Ellis: “…I wish you’d think about me more.”

Ellis: “About me, right in front of you.”

He gently cups both of my cheeks in his large hands, and soft kisses rain down on my forehead, nose, corners of my eyes… all over my face.

Kate: “Mmm…. El…lis… Mmmm”

I heard the rustle of clothes as my ribbon came undone and I was gently pushed down—

His hot lips travelled down to my neck.

Kate: “Ah, wait, Ellis…Aren’t you going to tell me about the contract…?”

Ellis: “Mmm… can you guess what it’s about?”

The seductive whisper in my ear, accompanied by a sigh, sent shivers down my spine.

Kate: “Um, well… does it have anything to do with me?”

Ellis: “Yup, that’s right.”

I tried a few questions after that, but got none of them right.

Kate: “I have no idea…”

Ellis: “…Well then, should we ask my body?”

He took my hand, gave it a gentle kiss, and pressed it against his strong chest.

The strong beating of his heart reverberated from my palm to my arm, and I strongly felt Ellis’ presence.

As I was distracted by the pounding of his heart, a shadow suddenly fell—

Kate: “…Mmm.”

My lips were sealed and the next thing I knew, Ellis’ body was completely covering me.

Ellis: “…Kate, your face is bright red. How cute.”

Kate: “I-I can’t think anymore like this.”

(Even though I have no idea what Ellis’ contract is about.)

His twilight-colored eyes staring down at me feverishly captured my thoughts.

Ellis: “I’ll give you a hint. If you have any questions, just ask?”

Kate: “Nnngh….”

My lips were stolen, my tongue sucked firmly, and my lips were entangled and played with.

(That’s not fair…)

The words I was trying to say, along with my thoughts, were all torn apart and thrown into disarray.

Just when I thought I had been released with a quick suck, he latched onto the sensitive tips of my breasts.

Kate: “Aaah…”

While I was being kneaded and sucked, I now found myself at the mercy of the fingers that slowly crept toward my lower abdomen.

Ellis: “Kate… You’re already like this.”

Kate: “D… don’t say that…”

The lewd, wet sounds aroused my shame, and it became even more lewd as Ellis’ fingers played.

Ellis: “I’m sorry… I just couldn’t resist looking at how cute you were.”

Ellis: “I want you too… Is that okay?”

His smile, thick with the scent of desire, took my breath away.

Kate: “Mmm… Okay.”

Instead of a finger, something thicker and hotter was pressed against me—

It pierced me right through.

Kate: “---ah!”

The sensation of him hit me so hard it was like a dam had burst, and the stimulation that reverberated throughout my body made it hard for me to breathe.

Kate: “Ngh, Ah… E…ll..is…aah”

I felt like I was melting and drowning in the desire that was penetrating the deepest parts of my body, so I clung desperately to Ellis.

Ellis: “Ngh, more… so tight…so… nnngh.”

The intensity accelerated, and I was swept away and engulfed in an overwhelming pleasure –until I burst.

Kate: “Hngh, Aaah--!”

Ellis: “Ngh… Being wrapped up in you, Kate… Feels so good.”

Ellis: “I want more…Lock me in, I’ll give it to you.”

His heavy breathing and dusk-colored eyes were overflowing with heat that he couldn’t control,

It reflects my true self as I melt away, blocking my option to escape.

--I surrendered to the surge of instinct that seemed to last forever,

We fell into a night of passionate desire or each other.

--

The next morning.

Ellis: “Victor’s scones are delicious today too.”

As he licked the cranberry jam from his fingertips, I was reminded of last night and was startled.

But.

(…In the end, I was never told anything about the contract.)

I was about to touch on that topic again this morning,

Ellis seemed to realize what I was thinking and gave me a sweet hug and kiss, evading the question.

(If you’re trying to keep me from worrying, you should know all the more… if this happens.)

I turn my gaze to the newspaper stood like a folding screen across from me.

Kate: “Jude, please tell me.”

Kate: “What is the content of the ‘new contract’ you and Ellis have?”

Jude: “Contract?”

Jude: “…Oh, after Ellis ‘n ya die, I’ll be in charge of that grave.”

Kate: “That grave…?”

Jude set the newspaper down on the table and stared right in my direction.

Jude: “As long as I’m alive.”

Ellis: “Fufu, I’ve been found out. Jude, please stay alive.”

Jude: “Heh… You were just waitin’ for the right opportunity ta kill me ‘til recently, ‘n ya still say that.”

--A contract to ensure that our happy ending will last forever.

That is the highest form of love that Ellis can give me.

In return, Jude apparently ordered him to work even more for Raven.

Kate: “In that case, let me help you fulfill the contract! It concerns both Ellis and I, right?”

Jude: “You ain’t an employee of Raven, are ya? I don’t think I’d hire ya.”

Jude: “But if ya insist, I’ll work ya to the bone as a fairy tale keeper.”

Jude: “… Well then, yer workin’ hard today too. The princess and her prince.”

Jude said it in a mocking way, but Ellis took it with a smile.

Ellis: “…Prince. Kate, Jude sometimes calls you a princess. I’m glad we match.”

Kate: “Jude is being sarcastic when he calls me a princess… Is that okay?”

Ellis: “That’s good… it’s a classic fairy tale ending.”

Ellis: “’And the prince and princess lived happily ever after’”

Kate: “…hehe, that’s true.”

Jude: Ya gonna keep braggin’ in front of me forever?”

Ellis: “Yes.”

And so, our days began again, heading towards that ‘happily ever after.’

Part 1 | Part 2 | Bitter End | Premium End | Epilogue

[reccyls]

One of the things that get to me is how Victor falls silent in surprise whenever Kate expresses she wants to be with him🥲

Also! I'm curious if you have any expectations or thoughts for Victor's route🤔

Yes, that gets to me too! He really does go to the effort of deliberately showing Kate his more unsavory sides, hoping to scare her enough that she'll keep her distance, aware of his own desire to have and "stain" her with his darkness. And Kate knows that Victor is dangerous, but she also knows that he feels so very alone, and she herself has more than enough fascination with darkness that she is still willing to take the first step to bridge that distance despite the fear. That is, if Victor will let her.

Things I am looking forward to in Victor's route:

KISS. ON THE LIPS. FOR REAL THIS TIME. COME ON

what is your curse

The first time he switches from using 'boku' to 'ore' in Kate's presence

Settling the mystery of his relationship to Queen Victoria once and for all

What is the true reason he founded Crown with William, if there is one?

(wishful thinking) I really hope he has a CG where Kate is braiding his hair or putting a flower crown in it, or something like that. Long-haired LIs are so rare in Cybird games, please do something with Victor's hair...

In general I have to say that duty vs love is one of my favorite conflicts in fiction and Victor really embodies that from everything we've seen of him so far. Though he says he values freedom above all else, just like William, he holds himself back from his true desires because of... sense of duty? His belief that he shouldn't want what he does? Not wanting to drag other people into his fated tragic end? All of the above? It's a fascinating inner conflict and I hope we get to see Victor's full heart unleashed.

Also I am an angst fiend and I hope I'll cry. A lot.

Maid for Your Command - Jude's Commands

This is from Ikemen Villains EN, Cybird owns everything.

Jude: "So lemme get this straight. Some bloke ya barely know says 'Be a maid' and you go 'Yessir, right away, sir!'?"

Jude: "That the kinda thing ya into, huh?"

Kate: "That's not what happened!"

I let out a frustrated sigh as I argued with Jude yet again.

It all started as I was accompanying him on a mission as Fairytale Keeper.

A woman who appeared to be a maid accidentally bumped into me and dropped the clothes she was carrying.

The man beside her looked to be her master and tried whipping her right there and then.

I immediately intervened to protect her, only for Jude to get irritated with the "negotiations" that took place between us.

Kate: "I thought it would be better to help her with the laundry, rather than let her get abused."

Jude: "Real impressed by your integrity, I truly am."

Jude: "But there's no guarantee all ya gotta do is wash it 'n be done."

Kate: "I know there's no way to confirm that, but still..."

Her master has said, "If you want to protect her, then be my maid in her place and wash my dirty clothes."

But then he saw Jude before I could say a word, and all the color drained from his face. And then he just ran off somewhere.

Kate: "At least I'm not such a terrible person that I scare people off with just a glance at my face."

Jude: "Yeah, 'cept thanks to that 'terrible person' ya don't gotta play maid no more, do ya?"

Kate: "Well-"

Jude: "Shouldn't ya be returnin' me the favor?"

My body froze as if it were a reflex.

I already knew what owing Jude a favor meant, and it wasn't pretty.

(But I can't deny that him being there helped me out...)

Kate: "I'll treat you to lunch in order to say thank you."

Jude: "Nah, don't want that."

He flatly refused and stared at me with the eyes of a predator.

Jude: "Let's see, what should ya owe me..."

A cruel, cold smile spread across his face.

Jude: "How 'bout ya pay me back by bein' my maid, huh? If ya can do it for a stranger, ya can do it for me, can't ya?"

Jude: "Ya ever hear of a contract of obedience?"

==========

Jude: "Huh? Can't hear ya. Say it again, louder this time."

I tried to gather up my voice, but every time I opened my mouth to speak, the words came out shaking.

Jude: "Next time if ya talk too quietly, I'll shove a rag in your useless mouth. C'mon now, speak up."

Jude had taken me to one of his company warehouses.

And I stood there trembling with anger at his humiliating order.

Kate: "...I pledge obedience to my master."

Jude: "Sit."

Kate: "...Excuse me?"

Jude: "What the hell happened to obedience, huh? I said, sit!"

I gritted my teeth as I obeyed Jude's ridiculous order while he crossed his arms and leaned against a packing box.

The floor of the warehouse was so cold it made me shiver.

Kate: "You're not treating me like a maid. You're treating me like a dog."

Jude: "If ya listen to every command I give ya, what's the difference?"

He stood up and stepped on the hem of my dress with his stylish black shoes.

(How am I supposed to stand up now?)

As I watched him looming over me, my heart started pounding even louder.

(Who knows what he might do if I don't fulfill my debt to him...)

(I don't know if I want to find out what else that twisted mind of his could come up with.)

Jude: "How 'bout I strip those annoyin' clothes off ya, slap a collar round your neck 'n take ya for a walk?"

Kate: "Absolutely not!"

Jude: "Did I ask the dog to talk back to her master?"

Jude: "Apparently, ya got no intention of obeyin' me, so I guess ya don't need that mouth after all."

He reached out and tried to cover my mouth with his large hand, but I jerked back and hurriedly apologized.

Kate: "A-all right, I'm sorry! I apologize for being careless!"

Jude: "Oh yeah? Prove it. Get on your hands 'n knees and bark. Then I'll forgive ya."

Blood rushed to my face when I heard his command.

I started to protest instinctively, but then quickly shut my mouth.

(...I might as well just do it. Make him happy, and get out of this situation as quickly as I can.)

I glared at Jude, getting down on my hands and knees like he said.

Kate: "...W-woof."

Jude: "So vicious. Looks like you're 'bout to tear your master to pieces!"

Jude: "And look at those rebellious eyes of yours. Hah, yeah, I like that."

Kate: "Wha-?!"

Jude: "Wasn't intendin' on playin' with a lil bird like ya, but..."

Jude: "Now I wanna know what you'd look like when ya scream 'n cry for me."

Kate: "...Ah?!"

He grabbed my arm and pulled me to my feet, then roughly pushed me up against the wall.

He pinned my arms to the wall, his grip so trong I couldn't fight back.

Kate: "Let me go! ...Ah!"

I struggled in vain as he wedged his knee between my legs, then my body began to tremble as a strange heat rushed through me.

(He's got to be kidding... He can't be serious!)

Jude: "Hmm..."

I couldn't read the expression on his face as he stared at me coldly.

Kate: "Ahh, J-Jude...!"

As I shifted, his knee rubbed against the sweet spot between my legs and a thrilling, throbbing sensation overtook me.

My mind was a mess of fear, frustration, shame, and... pleasure.

Jude: "What're ya gettin' so excited 'bout, huh? I'm not doin' nothin'."

Kate: "Please move... your leg."

Jude: "Ya could get fired for tryin' to do somethin' that indecent with your master's body, ya know that?"

Kate: "I am not!"

Jude: "How 'bout I leave ya here all alone as punishment then?"

(Oh, to hell with it. He is the absolute worst!)

I wanted to say that to him, but the sound of his whisper against my ear sent another shiver down my spine.

I desperately tried to stand my ground, but my legs began to tremble and grow weak.

Jude: "What would ya do if ya saw another woman bein' treated the way ya are right now, right in front of ya, huh?"

Kate: "What? I-I'd call for help, of course!"

Jude: "Tch. You're a right idiot, ya know that?"

Right now, he looked more angry than mocking.

Jude: "You're supposed to ignore it. Haven't learned your lesson one bit, have ya?"

Kate: "Ahh...!"

Now his leg which had pressed me against the wall started rubbing against me with purpose.

The hot, grinding stimulation I felt between my legs was too much to bear and I couldn't help but moan.

(I-I didn't mean to make that noise...)

Jude: "Ya really think ya can 'help' anyone with that tiny, weak body of yours?"

I flushed with embarrassment as he immediately released me.

Jude: "If you're gonna follow me 'round, ya gotta ditch all the niceties 'n goodwill."

(He really is... something else entirely.)

Jude: "Or if ya don't wanna get tossed aside, then forget the damn mission 'n go back to sleep in your castle, princess."

I bit my lip, trying to calm my breathing.

(Even if that was his way of warning me, he could've done it in a different way.)

(And I'm not going to stop being kind to people. But I don't want to give up on my mission, either.)

(Besides, why is he trying to make me learn a lesson by being so malicious, anyway?)

(I wish I could understand his way of doing things better.)

I took a deep breath and stared at him.

Kate: "I refuse both."

Jude: "...Hah, should've stuffed your mouth shut, after all."

He gave me a very displeased look and then sauntered out of the warehouse.

And I still chased after him, dragging along my throbbing knees and aching body...

End.

MDNI. NSFW. CW: Awkardly translated smut dead ahead, Graphic language..... & Rough sex (?)

After we attended the birthday party thrown by Victor….we were alone in the bedroom.

[Chu], [chu], the sound me leaving kisses on Jude’s body echoed in the air.

As he lay on top of the bed, I straddled him, sucking hard and leaving red marks behind

Jude: ….Whaddya plannin’?

Kate: Hmm…….what do you mean?

Jude: Left ya waitin’ in the bathroom. Thought ya’d be beggin’ me for a follow up.

As soon as we got back to the room, my desire wasn’t for any follow up, but only to let me kiss him.

Kate: ….While I was getting dressed after the bath, I realized that..

Kate: …It’s your birthday Jude, so it wouldn’t be right if I’m the only one who feels good…..

(….Also it’s because Jude said to me, “Can ya satisfy me ‘nough for the whole day, princess?”)

(I want to do whatever I can to celebrate Jude.)

Jude:…..Meanin’ the kisses are meant t’be pamperin’?

Jude: Yer too sincere. Really ain’t suited for this world — …Mhm.

While he was still speaking I kissed him to stop him from what he was about to say.

Kate: …..I’ll shut your mouth from saying such things.

Jude: Ha…..don’t say that ‘til it’s actually been shut.

We both laugh and exchange a light kiss before I slowly continue to go lower with my kisses.

I showered red marks on his neck, shoulders and chest like blossoms-

As I caressed his side, I kissed his lower abdomen, all the way to the edge covered by his underwear……

Kate: Wahh…..!

Jude suddenly flipped me over so that I was on all fours on top of the bed.

Kate: Jude?

Jude: …..That’s ‘nough pamperin’.

Jude’s low, husky voice was blatantly filled with desire, and it made my heart skip a beat.

Just thinking of being so deeply linked with him fills my heart with so much anticipation, tension, and excitement that it hurts.

Even though we’ve made love made together many times, I still haven’t gotten used to it.

Kate: …..Run out of patience with my pampering already?

I tried to put up a strong front so as to hide my pounding heart, but it wasn’t effective on Jude.

Jude: Yer the antsy one, not me.

His hand quickly flipped up my dress and ripped down my underwear.

Jude: I ain’t even done anythin’ yet, ‘n it’s already this soaked.

My wetness squelched loudly even with his fingers only lightly touching me down there.

It was obvious that I was more aroused than Jude, and I couldn’t help but feel embarrassed.

Jude: …This is what happens just from kissin’ me?

Kate: Y-you made me wait all evening, so I can’t help it — ….NGH AHH!

Jude scooped up my dripping nectar, and stimulated my sensitive bud with his wet fingers.

Kate: ……Ngh….!

Just as I thought he’d tease me by swirling his fingers around, he’d scratch me.

The mix of pain and pleasure caused filthy sounds to spill from my mouth.

Jude: Was it like that down there when ya were singin’ with those Crown guys at my birthday party?

Jude: ……If ya were next to another man like this, I’ll be pissed as hell.

Jude’s fingers penetrated me deeper, carefully loosening up my sopping interior.

His fingertips know my body so well that he knows precisely where to stimulate all the right spots.

Kate: Mmh…ahh…!

Jude: Ya don’t dislike this. Yer stubborn, but ya like it……here.

When his fingers stroked me inside and pressed firmly onto a certain spot,

An intense, pleasurable sensation hit me, and I almost lost consciousness.

Kate: Ahh!…..Jude, wait….I don’t want to come yet……haa!

Kate: I want you first, Jude…..I like being with you.

Jude: …..Yer good at rilin’ thin’s up.

His quickly pulled his fingers out and the tip of something hot touched my entrance instead.

Jude: Breathe out.

As I breathed out, he sank his fierce hardness into my drenched, sticky spot.

If you really want to know what Jude’s dick is called it’s this: 猛るto rage/to be fierce/ to be excited. Basically, a ferocious cock, but Kate's language is demure, so...fierce hardness it is.

Jude: Hu…..

Kate: AHH…!

While on all fours Jude hovered over me as he moved his hips.

He inched in slowly, watching me react, and then grabbed my waist and thrust into me roughly.

Kate: Ohhh…..!

Sparks instantly blurred my vision, and my walls squeezed itself around Jude in ecstasy.

Jude: Hah….what’s that? Didja ya come just from me puttin’ it in?

Kate: ….I-I didn’t come. ….I can keep going

Since it’s Jude’s birthday, I want him to feel good too.

With that mindset, I pressed my hips against Jude ready to accept him.

Kate: Hngh….see, I’m still good.

Jude: …..If that’s so…..then I won’t care if ya end up regrettin’ it.

With those words, his hands gripped my hips and a violent rhythm starts.

Kate: Ah….! AHH….!!!

I couldn’t hold back my voice as he ravenously thrusted into the deepest parts of me.

Even when I reached the point to were I was about to pass out, I was immediately fed more pleasure, leaving me no time to rest.

Kate: Ohh….haa…!

In order not to be drowned in the waves of pleasure that washed over me repeatedly, I stayed on my hands and knees and clutched the sheets tightly.

Jude’s laid his hand over mine and intertwined our fingers, which stitched us together.

(What should I do….it feels so good and it hurts….I’m going mad…..)

Since he was on top of me from behind, Jude’s weight was slightly rested on me, which was a bit painful.

But even the heaviness and staggered breaths were transformed into love and pleasure.

(Oh, but….I don’t like that I can’t see Jude’s face in this position….)

Kate: Jude….please…..

Jude: ……Say it.

Kate: Anywhere…..is fine….so….bite me…!

As I spoke breathlessly while being jolted, I felt him swell inside of me even more.

Jude: Ha….whadda pervert…..

Jude’s hot breath grazed my right shoulder causing me pain.

While biting me, Jude’s hips started to thrust into me harder.

Kate: ?! Ahhh……Ohh……!

Just like a beast that bites down on the nape of it’s mates neck to immobilize it,

The pain Jude delivers binds me, and won’t let me go.

Kate: Hngh, stop…..! Jude, I…..can’t anymore….!

Jude: Hhaaa…..

Jude seemed to be nearing his limit too, as he began to drill into me more violently—

Kate: AHHHH….!

I felt like a giant swell had swallowed me up as I climaxed, and my stomach tightened.

— Jude had climaxed with me.

As we both caught our breath, Jude pulled out his hot shaft.

Here, his cock is referred to as 杭 stake, post. Changed it to shaft because I HATE it being called that.

Jude: …..Yer tightest when I bite ya, yer so nasty.

Kate: Well, I can’t help it can I…?!

Kate: Even though I can’t see your face, the pain lets me know that you’re holding me Jude…..

Jude: When ya get bitten….yer happy

Jude taught me to love the pain the comes along with the pleasure.

That’s why each time I feel pain from being bitten or pressed down on,

When my body feel’s my beloved Jude entangled with me, it automatically fills with joy.

Jude: ….Then

Jude: If I bite ya from the front when we fuck……you’ll feel even better.

The actual term for "fuck" isn’t used in this line, but ヤってる, which means "doing it,” is used and it's the same thing. Let’s be real, I doubt Cybird will ever actually let him say it...but I sure as hell will.

Kate: That’s….

I thought about saying, “That’s right,” but that would be boring.

Kate: ….Guess you’ll find out, if you check it out yourself won’t you?

I stared at Jude with an instigative look, and he laughed fearlessly.

Jude: ….Let’s go then.

My legs were placed on Jude’s shoulders, and his body pressed against mine, crushing me from the front.

Kate: Mmph….

I relaxed once he fully entered me,

Although it was still a bit tight, my body accepted Jude more easily than before, sucking him and clinging to him greedily.

Jude: …..Open yer mouth.

He thrust far inside me only once while we shared a deep kiss that would never have been possible if he were behind me.

Kate: Mmph….ah, haaa…

Jude’s tongue obscenely invaded my mouth, all the while our hands were interlaced together…..

Mine and Jude’s bodies were stacked so closely together that nothing could come between us, and it was so satisfying.

Once he’d had his fill of my mouth, he finally resumed moving inside of me.

This time Jude slowly rocked his hips unlike before.

Kate: Oh……ah…!

Jude: …….

As we gently made love to each other, the sweet scent of sandalwood wafted in the air with each thrust.

When I yielded to the increased pleasure, Jude bit into my defenseless neck.

Kate: Hngh….

He plunged himself deep inside of me along with the tingling pain, and then rocked himself gently as if to soothe me.

Kate: Mm, ha, ahh……

With every bite my hips are rocked, causing my head to spin from the mix of pleasure and pain.

Kate: Ohh….Jude…..it feels so…..good…

Before, I hardly had time to breathe, now I could actually speak.

Jude: ….That so?

Kate: Jude…..?

Jude: ……….

Jude: …….Ain’t no way I’m gonna strain yer body by tanglin’ up with ya if it don’t feel good.

Kate: Jude, I…..feel so good…right now….I’m losing my mind….

Kate: Can you….say it more clearly….?

He teasingly withdrew his hips and then thrust deep into me, hitting every sweet spot.

As I succumbed to the ripples of pleasure from our slow love-making session, I pleaded with Jude for more.

Jude: Guess ain’t no gettin’ ‘round it…..

Jude: ….Feels good, Kate.

Jude dropped a kiss on my forehead and told me the words I wanted to hear.

Kate: Hehe….hey, Jude

Kate:……To be honest , I was hoping on your birthday, you’d say “I like you” or “I love you”…..

Kate: I kind of thought you’d say it….

In truth, I was hoping if I showered him with words of love and blessings,

Then maybe he would say it today.

Kate: But….this is plenty for now.

His gentle expression illuminated by the moonlight through the window, said it all.

—That he loves me.

(The sun’s so high…!)

It was past noon when I shot up, my body still tired from all the love-making.

Kate: Jude, wake up! What about your schedule for today?

Jude’s usually at work at this time, so I quickly tried to wake him up.

Jude: ….Took off today so it ain’t a problem.

Kate: Oh, okay, good then….

Kate: ….But, isn’t it rare for you to take a holiday, Jude?

Even though he had other employees to cover for him, I was surprised because he a did have a schedule even on his birthday.

Jude: Took it off on purpose.

Kate: Not just the one day, but the next day too? Why….

Jude: Answers written all over yer body, ain’t it?

When he said that, I looked down at my body to find very vivid traces on it from the night before.

Jude: Though we messed ‘round, he up ‘n disappeared the next mornin’…..

Jude: If ya wanna make me out to be that kinda lowlife scum then do it.

(In other words, he knew he was going to be spending his birthday night with me.)

(So, you took the next day off too?)

In order for Jude to have the entire day off, he’d have to clear his schedule far in advance.

I’m sure he planned it well in advance, before I even asked to spend his birthday together.

That thought filled my heart with so much happiness…that I threw my arms around Jude’s neck and hugged him.

Kate: I love you, Jude.

Jude: ….What’s this all of a sudden? I know that.

I think Jude’s the only one who’d reply to words of love with an “I know that”.

It might seem to an outsider that my love is one-sided all because Jude doesn’t say things like, “I love you” as I do.

But….if his hands that hold me or tenderly comb through my hair isn’t love, then what is?

Kate: Hehe…even though you already know, I still want to tell you over and over again, Jude.

Kate: Each time I hear your voice, see your face, or feel your touch….my feelings overflow so much that it hurts.

Kate: No matter how much I tell you, it’s simply not enough.

I gently rest my cheek against his like I’m fawning over someone I love.

Jude: …..I said love’s a curse, right?

Jude: If ya keep cursin’ me like that, I ain’t gonna be able to handle it.

Kate: What are you going to do if you can’t handle it?

Jude: …..Hafta get back atcha ‘course.

Jude: I’ll get my revenge. I’ll curse ya even harder than when ya first showed up.

If you take his words at face value, they’d sound like nothing more than revenge, but for us it means something entirely different.

Kate: ….I accept, fair’s fair.

Jude laughs at me and strokes back my hair.

His breath hits my vulnerable, exposed neck — sinking his teeth into me.

Kate: Hngh….

The repeated, playful bites bring back memories of ecstasy from the previous night…..

Shortly after my breathing became uneven, Jude bit down on me hard to finish me off.

Kate: ….Jude, I…..

Jude: …..Yeah. I’ll go steady with ya.

With Jude holding onto me, we fell back onto the bed again.

The curses we cast on each other grow stronger and stronger with each passing day….and it’s highly unlikely they’ll ever be broken.

This is my guess what the 3 new Villains are based on. I know they're more tales with Vogel in it but to me Der goldene Vogel by The Brothers Grimm fits so perfectly! (I really hope I am right!) This fairy tale is about the pursuit of a golden bird by a gardener's three sons. Which fairy tale do you guys think fits the new Villains? (Please kindly share 😊💕)

Here's the synopsis for the story for those who are curious:

Every year, a king's apple tree is robbed of one golden apple during the night. He sets his gardener's sons to watch, and though the first two fall asleep, the youngest stays awake and sees that the thief is a golden bird. He tries to shoot it, but only knocks a feather off.

The feather is so valuable that the king decides he must have the bird. He sends his gardener's three sons, one after another, to capture the priceless golden bird. The sons each meet a talking fox, who gives them advice for their quest: to choose an old and shabby inn over a rich and pleasant one. The first two sons ignore the advice and, in the pleasant inn, abandon their quest. The third son obeys the fox, so the fox advises him to take the bird in its wooden cage from the castle in which it lives, instead of putting it into the golden cage next to it, because this is a signal. But he disobeys, and the golden bird rouses the castle, resulting in his capture.

The king of the castle agrees to spare him and give him the golden bird only if he can retrieve the golden horse. The fox advises him to use a dark gray leather saddle rather than a golden one which is a signal again, but he fails again by putting a golden saddle on a horse, resulting in his capture by a different castle. This castle's king sent him after the princess from the golden castle. The fox advises him not to let her say farewell to her parents, but he disobeys, and the princess's father orders him to remove a hill in eight days as the price of his life. The fox removes it for him, and then, as they set out, he advises the son how to keep all the things he has won since then. It then asks the son to shoot it and cut off its head. When the son refuses, it warns him against buying gallows' flesh and sitting on the edge of rivers.

He finds that his older brothers, who have been carousing and living sinfully in the meantime, are to be hanged (on the gallows) and buys their liberty. They find out what he has done. When he sits on a river's edge, they push him in, take the bird, horse and princess and bring them to their father. However, all three grieve for the youngest son. The fox rescues the prince, and when he returns to his father's castle dressed in a beggar's cloak, the bird, the horse, and the princess all recognize him as the man who won them, and become cheerful again. His older brothers get punished for their bad deeds, and he marries the princess.

Finally, the third son cuts off the fox's head and feet at the creature's request. The fox is revealed to be a man, the brother of the princess who had been enchanted by a witch after being lost for great many years.

I'm so angry!!!

I really wanna support all the Jude's fans, but I can't not to say how F*** unfair Cybird is!

They announced Alfons' route a week earlier, but we still don't have a date of the release. And they gave Jude's!

WTH????

We're waiting for that too, you know! If we DON'T SHOUT about it all the time, it doesn't mean we're NOT WAITING!!!

Should I express my impatience more strongly so that the developers DON'T IGNORE? I'm REALLY PISSED right now!

If you follow the same pattern, then follow it! Don't pre-announce the route earlier and make people wait a month, and then do something to meet their expectations and IGNORE other FANS! You are really behaving TERRIBLY right now!

Yes, I read Alfons's route on JP server, but it's not the same!!! And there are many fans of Alfons who haven't read it and are waiting a lot. Why do this to us???

The only thing that calms me down a bit is that the Alfons route release date will be earlier. That, at least, would be fair!

Give us the F*** date already!!!

[rjthirsty]

Pregnant with Ikepri

We've seen how dating, their first time, and engagement proposals pan out, but what Cybird will never deliver to us is that pivotal moment that MC tells one of the LIs that she's expecting.

This is just my idea of how it will work out with each suitor. MC is AFAB, and all suitors are AMAB. Obvious mentions of pregnancy lie ahead. Just a fun little exercise to test out drabbles. 

Jin

Jin is the king of pulling out, but somewhere along the line, he slipped up and it resulted in nothing so he started to get lax. Somewhere along the line, you two stopped worrying about it. More times than not he still denies you the creampie that it turns out he enjoys seeing seep out of you. But now you're late, and maybe you two should have been more vigilant.

It's hard to find the words. You confirmed it with a physician, and you know you need to tell him, but having a baby with a commoner churns up trauma for Jin, and you're afraid he'll turn you out.

He's worried. You have never looked so ashen. When you said you needed to talk, he dropped everything to give you time. His large hand palms your cheek. He dips down to look into your eyes. And in a voice that has helped you through countless times he says “Whatever it is, it'll be okay.”

“I'm pregnant.” You finally manage. 

Shock leaves him wide-eyed in surprise. It takes him a moment to zip through the thoughts that spring into his mind - a million possibilities, questions, and outcomes on what he'd do if this day had ever come. Then a grin lights up his face and you almost miss it as he wraps his arms around you and lifts you off the ground to hug tightly to him, spinning around from the sheer joy of having a child with you.

He's better than his father. And you're not his mother. And the world is a different place with the two of you together. He's more excited than you thought he'd be. He talks to your stomach even before the child can hear him. He wants to princess carry you everywhere. And he introduces you as the mother of his children.

Chevalier

The way Chev looked at you after you told him the news was chilling - not because it was his icy stare that had silenced rooms and struck fear in children, but because you had never seen him… scared. He was scared. The news was not happily recieved as you thought it would be.

As the two of you prepared for bed and you talked of your day, you broke the news with excitement and turned to see him stunned and staring. “Chevalier?” You called to him. His eyes cut from your belly to your face.

“It's okay. You're not a beast, and I'm not afraid of you.” Attempting to soothe his worries, you moved closer and slowly snuggled into his chest. “I'd be lucky to have a child just like you, because you're an amazing man.”

He relaxed in your arms, his own arms surrounded you as he dropped his chin to put his lips on your head. “I'd rather have a child like you who can love someone like me. You may never understand him if he's like me.”

“But I don't need to to love him.”

From that day forward, Chevalier dove into reading about medical studies and other literature on pregnancy, labor, and delivery. He stated checking up on you more often and bringing you all sorts of items said to help with pregnancy issues. He would have delivered your child himself except thankfully Clavis helped you talk him out of it. There are some things you'd rather he not be in the middle of.

Gilbert

“Do you want me to tell him?” Walter asked, a serious note in his voice.

“No. I want him to hear it from me.”

You knew the news of family was not a joyous thing in Obsidian. Especially for Gilbert. The land of deceit and decay, where families had murdered families for generations. Where the Emperor carried the sins of the Obsidian line that had wrought death and bloodshed countless times across this kingdom and others.

Gil had wanted to end it. To stop his line from continuing. And here you were, pregnant with his child. He wouldn't hurt you you were certain, but he might actually lock you up this time in order to prevent anybody else from hurting you. He could if he wanted. But living like that would leave everyone unhappy.

In order to prevent another bed-chaining, you visit him in his study. Before you made it two steps inside the room, he stood from his chair and moved towards you, worry clouding his face. He felt your anxiety. Something was not right with you, and he knew it.

“I'm fine,” you assured him as he quickly looked you over. “I just… have something to tell you.”

Gil's perfect smile covered up his momentary worry. “Surely, no one has bothered my little rabbit. Yet your heart is racing like the day we met.”

“No, no one has bothered me.” You step closer to him and wrap your arms around him, trapping him in place. With a lean of your back, you lock onto his single red eye to show how serious you are, and plainly explain, “I'm pregnant.”

His hands fly out, snatching you close to him as he squeezed you against his chest, holding onto you like you might somehow slip away if he were to let go. This is not the first time he has done this. You brace against him, giving him at least a few seconds of his desperate hugging before it begins to feel like he'll crush you. It always goes like this. 

“Gil! Gilbert, please. I can't breathe.”

He relinquished you, and as you gasped lungfuls of air, he scooped you up and strode out the door. “Wait! Gil! Where are we going?”

You were used to the palace by now that you knew he was headed towards his bedroom. Even if he didn't answer, you could already see how this was going to go. “Put me down! I am not going to be locked up and hidden away. That is not how you treat people you love.”

“Do you presume you can order me around?”

“No, but if you do this, I will never forgive you.”

Gilbert slowed his steps and came to a stop. In his eye you could see emotion wavering, and while you hadn't learned how to read him as well as he knew how to read you, you had learned to see the different sides of him that he only shared with you. 

“Now,” you began calmly, “I'll make some tea, and we can talk about this. At a table. With no shackles or rope.”

“I’m so weak to your requests. At least let me lock the doors so no one can bother us.”

“You can lock the doors if I get the key to them during our talk.”

Gilbert's biggest fear is losing someone he loves. He recognizes he has desires to control and cage MC to keep her safe from others, but he also knows those desires are not acceptable. He's at the mercy of his emotions, and despite being a genius, he often acts on whims, especially relating to MC. I'd love to explore this further. See how far we can push him.

Sariel

The palace devil and you were lovers. No one believed it when you first announced it, but you two were every bit as in love as two people could be - you just had a work image to uphold.

He was smiling that morning. You didn't think much of it, but he did seem happier than normal despite you having an appointment you had been adamant he didn't attend. You were being seen by a physician due to a bout of flu that had been plaguing you.

It turns out it wasn't the flu. You were pregnant. Morning sickness is a common ailment in the first trimester. No wonder you felt better as the day continued.

When you attempted to return to work, taking your time to consider how you were going to surprise Sariel with the news, he ushered you back to your room saying you had the rest of the day off– and so did he.

After he fixed you both tea, he sat across from you, his violet gaze fixed on you, and you were aware he was expecting something, just what it was you weren't sure.

“Will you be filling me in, or do you intend to hold me captive with your glowing beauty?”

“I… Why do we have the afternoon off?” His compliment makes your cheeks flush, even after all this time.

“I imagined you'd be pleased to have some extra time with me.”

“I am. …You're not concerned about becoming sick?”

“Not at all.”

The gears were turning in your mind. He had been happier than usual lately, even with you vomiting each morning. And each night he held you closer and more gently. He didn't even push when you told him he couldn't take time off to help you with your illness. And on top of that, any time you were ready to get some work done, he didn't worry over you like he was already aware you weren't contagious and you felt better as the day progressed.

“How did you already know?” You pursed your lips, slightly annoyed he took the surprise from you.

“I’m sure I have no idea to what you are referring.” Sariel bright his teacup to his smirking lips.

“We're having a baby!” Despite knowing he already knew, you couldn't help but shout in excitement.

Forgive me if this is OOC. I'm not a fan of Sariel, but I wanted to include him. I gave it my best shot. Also, you know this dude knows your cycle better than you do.

Rio

“I love your pain perdu!” Rio happily took the plate and ushered you into his room. He helped you into a seat and set the plate between the two of you before taking his own seat across the table. Even as a prince, he still waited on you hand and foot and that may never change. “What's the occasion?”

Of course Rio would see right through your reason for making his favorite food. You were so predictable when it came to doing something nice for him, next time you’d have to think of a different way to bring up good news.

“I was just thinking about you and wanted you to have something special. Dig in.”

Rio didn’t need to be told twice. You watched as he began devouring the sweet treat, smiling as well as he could manage with a mouthful of food. As soon as he was several bites into it, you decided now was the time.

“I’m pregnant!” You suddenly blurted.

“Hrk..ckff..” Rio choked and leaned over, coughing to try to get the food down the right tube.

“I’m sorry!” You jumped up and began rubbing circles on his back. “I didn’t mean to make you choke!”

Rio gasped in a deep breath. “Really?”

“Of course not! I wasn’t planning on that part. I guess I just mistimed the announcement.”

“No, not that– I’m fine. Are you really pregnant?” Rio sat back and looked up at you, tears in the corners of his eyes.

“Oh… Yes. I’m really pregnant.”

The tears that rimmed his lids grew and soon they were rushing down his face. Rio was crying. He was really crying. You stared at him, never having seen it before. He’d always been certain to put on a happy face for you, but here he was, crying.

“Rio?” Concerned laced your voice.

“I’m just so happy.” Rio sniffed and wiped at his face, trying to stop the tears. “Aw man, what kind of father am I going to be if I’m crying already?”

He leaned into you, hugging your waist and nuzzling into your stomach. Your hand naturally found its way to his head and you pet him as he loved against you.

Nokto

Nokto stood motionless, his red eyes swimming with the thoughts that were circling through his mind. He had lost his smirk when you had informed him you were expecting, but he didn’t say anything else. You were aware this was something he’d need time to work through, and gracefully, you gave him the time as the seconds stretched into minutes and Nokto continued to stare someplace far away, sorting out his many feelings on the matter.

You wrung your hands. You couldn’t help but purse your lips, trying not to chew on them while you waited. Nerves gnawed at your heart. You knew he wasn’t going to leave you, but children were not something either of you were ready for, and you weren’t sure what would happen now.

“Nokto…” You tentatively called, trying to draw him back to you. His eyes refocused and he quirked a small smirk on his lips. He put it there to comfort you, even though you knew what his genuine smiles looked like.

His hands slid along your hips, up to your waist, and around to the small of your back where he pulled you closer to him so you could stand pelvis to pelvis and nearly nose to nose.

“Well, it wasn’t what I had planned, but I’m good with working with surprises.” He said, sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than you.

“There are… things we can do if now is really not the time.” You had read it in your fantasy books, but there was a truth to those tales, as well. You knew of apothecaries and women considered skilled in arts that could remove things unwanted…

“No.” Nokto answered before your thoughts could slip down into the darkness your heart didn’t really want. “No, I don’t want that.”

Nokto leaned his forehead against yours, brushing his nose gently along your own. He sighed, his eyes downcast. “I’m not ready, but the last thing I want is to see you unhappy. You’d give up your heart if you knew it would make me more comfortable and… and I just don’t want that.”

Tears stung your eyes. Not many people understood the kind of man that Nokto was, but you knew he had a kindness in him that touched every decision he ever made. It was almost too much to have that kindness directed entirely on you.

“I suppose I just have to get used to being called papa. Hm.” Nokto tilted his head and smiled in amusement. “I think I like that.”

Clavis

Clavis took a moment outside his closed bedroom door in his own mansion, readying himself for the explosion of his confetti cannon he knew was about to go off. He hadn’t set it up, but only Cyran, you, and he had a key to his room, and someone was certainly in there. Seeing as how Hugo and Kai were futilely attempting to hide around the corner down the hallway, that narrowed the suspects down.

He had noticed the way Cyran seemed to be helping you with something lately, though Cyran pretended to not know what it was every time asked. To think his own sworn soldier would betray his trust for you… well, it couldn’t be helped. You deserved to be first for everyone as long as he was first for you.

Clavis threw open the door, taking a step backwards to avoid being drowned in confetti. “My lovely fiancee! Your lover is home!” Throwing his hands in the air, he grinned brightly, proud that he had set off the cannon without being a victim to it. You had done an exceptional job of rigging it. You really were his partner in crime.

On the other side of the room you stood with Cyran, frowning.

“See, my lady, there’s really no fooling him. You gave it your best shot.” Cyran said apologetically.

“Ah, yes, it was a valiant effort!” Clavis agreed.

“That’s fine. I know I’ve got you with this next one, Clavis.” You grinned, as Clavis’ smile dipped slightly, wondering if he hadn’t been observant enough. Perhaps he missed another trap. A quick glance around told him there was nothing visibly he could identify.

“And what is it you have up your sleeve?” He asked with a tilt to his head.

“We’re having a baby!”

The way Clavis’ eyes went wide and his smile fell in shock was exactly the face you were hoping to see. A moment where he was unguarded and unable to keep his composure. Those were the moments you loved to see from him most, but they were a rare occurrence with the way he always attempted to look cool in front of you.

You raced across the room and threw yourself into his arms, jumping to wrap yours around his neck. “I love you so much, Daddy Clavis!”

Clavis caught you, but it seemed he still hadn’t yet recovered, staring at you incredulously. “... Daddy Clavis…?” His voice was a breathy whisper. And while you were all smiles, Clavis was anything but.

Putting you softly down, he dipped out from under your arms and turned from his room to walk down the hallway, turning at the next room and closing himself inside.

Despite his absence, your grin only grew wider. You nearly skipped as you followed him to the closed door and knocked on it. “Clavis?”

No answer came.

“I know. And it’s okay. I’m glad you’re happy. I’ll be right here when you’re done.” You said, leaning against the door and clasping your hands over your heart.

“Haha. I just figured it wasn’t appropriate for me to pounce on you in front of others.” Clavis said, his voice thick as if he had already started crying and coming from somewhere lower than where you stood on the other side of the door.

“Mhm.” You knew it was just an excuse. “Thank you.”

“I just need to calm myself down before I see you again, or we might be having many more babies in the near future.”

“That’s not how it works.” You mused. “But we also have time to have many more babies in the future. As many as you want, Clavis.”

You could have sworn you heard him choking back a happy sob. He was never going to manage keeping his cool air when your child was born - he’s doomed to be the emotional parent.

Silvio

A loud thud proceeded the crash of your door as Silvio kicked it open, stopping you in your tracks from the anxious pacing you had been doing while preoccupied with your thoughts. He looked angry. He always looked angry to others, but to you who had learned his scowl wasn't the only expression he was capable of, he looked angry right now.

“What? Be nice to my door. You could learn to knock.”

“Sassy as always. Got a lot of nerve talking to me like that. Where were you?” Silvio had only stepped into the room, leaving plenty of space between the two of you.

Raising your eyebrows and hands at the same time, you waved your hands around the room. “Here. Exactly where you found me.”

Silvio gave you a long and hard stare, then surveyed the room from his spot near the door. Clearly there was something more he wanted to say, but he clicked his tongue in annoyance instead.

You waited. There were two ways to get him to express himself. You could pretend you were busy and continue on with your task - difficult at the moment since you were deep in thought and wouldn't be able to think with him standing there, sulking. Or you could wait him out, put the pressure on him to fill the silence with what he needed to say - the better option at the moment.

So you waited. Seconds passed. Minutes stretched. Silvio refused to make eye contact but he was very aware you were staring straight at him.

Finally he threw out a heavy sigh and grumbled, “Ya’ missed dinner.”

“Oh!” You hadn't even realized how late it had gotten.

“Are you serious?” Silvio sounded exasperated.

“Well… yeah. I lost track of time.”

“What had you so busy ya couldn't make dinner?” Once again Silvio scanned the room, but there would be no clue for him to find. What had you so busy was your own thoughts about how to spring the news. You were excited. And anxious. And overjoyed. And overwhelmed. And a million other feelings you couldn't put into words and you wanted to have those words to tell him–

“I'm pregnant!” You blurted out. You saw his eyes go wide, jumping from your gaze to your stomach.

“What was that?”

He heard. There was no way he hadn't with the way he looked at your belly. Suddenly the whole situation seemed ridiculous. You wanted to tell him in the best way and this is how it ended up and that is how he looked when you told him and it was all just too funny to contain. So you laughed. Your laughter rang out and filled the room. Your laughter brought tears to your eyes.

Silvio scowled and crossed the room to grab your arm. “Are ya serious right now?”

You nodded, unable to control your breath to even utter a “yes.”

Once again realization and surprise crossed his face, replaced with a smile that started small and expanded until it was the biggest grin you had ever seen from him.

“We're having a baby,” Silvio said with awe, as if it coming out of his own mouth made it more believable to him.

Just as you were finally calming down, taking in deep mirthful breaths, Silvio chuckled and wiped at his eye. Was that a tear?

You stared up at him, this time your face was colored in surprise. “Did you just–”

“Shuddup,” he grumbled, pulling you closer to press his mouth to yours. The kiss turned deep and passionate and left you breathless for again.

As you tried to get your breathing under control (again), Silvio hugged you to him and dropped his chin on your head as he murmured, “Come on, I'll make you something to eat.”

Leon

You watched from the doors to the training hall as Leon instructed his soldiers through combat drills, eagerly awaiting a break so you could share the news with the love of your life. You didn't want to interrupt, but your giddiness about expecting a child had you practically vibrating, and it was so hard not to rush Leon right then.

“Chief, think we can take five? It’s sweltering today.” Jin called. Leon glanced at him, then his gaze moved to you and he smiled brightly.

His voice boomed through the hall, giving to order for some rest before reconvenning shortly, and soon soldiers were milling about, and the room was full of friendly chatter. Your excitement carried you quicker than Leon's long strides could, and you practically jumped into his arms in an attempt to give him a hug. Nerves buzzed through you.

“Haha. What's gotten into you?” Leon asked, easily catching you and holding you tight.

“I'm just so happy, I almost can't stand it. Leon, I need to tell you something.” You pulled back, looking up at him and making eye contact so he could see how serious you were in this moment.

Leon's eyes locked on yours. “Okay. I'm listening.”

Your heart started pounding harder than it had all day. Your hands trembled from the adrenaline coursing through you. Your thoughts began to spin, trying to find the perfect way to tell him.

Leon took your hands in his, bringing warmth to your fingers that had gone numb without your knowledge. And with that warmth, the words freely fell from your lips. 

“We're having a baby! You're going to be a father!”

Leon's eyes went wider than you had ever seen them go. The announcement hit him unexpectedly. Then his dazzling grin that held the warmth of the sun graced his face, and his lips were on yours. His hands cupped your cheeks. How did he move them so fast? Holding you to him, he refused to let you pull away from his long lock on your lips. Only breaking it to kiss you again and again, raining affection on you.

“Le–” Kiss. “Wai–” Kiss. “Ee!” Another kiss. He wasn't letting a single word come from you, and EVERYONE WAS STARING.

“Leon! Give her a break! This isn't the place for that!” Yves yelled, scolding his brother as he often did.

Thankfully, Leon finally relented, leaving you gasping. He hugged an arm around your shoulder, pulling you flush against him, and turned towards the training hall where hundreds of people were gathered.

“Your Queen is pregnant! We're having a baby!” His voice naturally filled the room, even more so with how quiet it had gotten.

Your cheeks flared with heat, and the room filled with cheers. Yves and Licht both looked shocked. Jin was grinning and leading the cheering crowd. And Leon was beaming from ear to ear.

Leon gets way ahead of himself with this pregnancy and his first child. He can't wait for the kids to arrive, and once born, he dotes on them more than he dotes on you. He had always been great with kids. He's even better with his own. He's already talking about another way before you've even thought about it - probably while you're still pregnant.

Yves

The finishing touches were finally done on your super special tea party that you’d been preparing for all morning. Yves had been busy with work, which was perfect for you to be able to take over the kitchen and concoct some desserts that would make the announcement even more fun. What could be more fun than taking all your favorite pastries and turning them into baby-sized foods? Tea cakes? Now petit. Scones? Why not mini? Anything full sized could be made into something smaller.

Now set up, you take an appreciative look around and smile happily at your accomplishments. Just in time, too. Yves walked regally through the gardens, his blond hair shining as brightly as the golden sun. He was smiling, and you loved the way his blue eyes looked when his cupid lips were pulled into such a happy smile.

Quickly greeting him, you pull him to the settee and sit beside him, the both of you turned at an angle to face each other so you can share about your day so far. And of course, you have the BIG NEWS. His attention lands on the baby version of desserts.

“Did a new pattasier open up? I’ve never seen food so dainty before. What is this? A tiny cake?”

“Ah, no. I made them!” You happily explain.

“They’re really cute!” Yves exclaims while marveling at your skills.

“They are, aren’t they? They’re kind of baby-sized bundles of sweets, don’t you think?” You really can’t help yourself, it’s too hard to keep your excitement hidden.

It wasn’t like the two of you had been trying for a family, and honestly, the topic had never come up, but Yves was such a wonderful man that you knew he’d be perfect as a father. You’d seen him interact with kids many times from the various orphanage works you two did. And while you knew his mother passed during childbirth, and that sting still hurt from time to time, she was never in good health anyways according to Yves, so it wasn’t a surprise labor was too difficult for her.

“I suppose you could say that.” Yves contemplated the question while gracefully lining a plate with bite-sized bits. “What sparked the idea?”

Of course now that it was time to say something, you suddenly felt silly for the big display. Twisting your hands in your lap, your cheeks heating up, you turn your eyes to the food and stumble over your words. “W-well… you know… it-um… it was supposed to be a theme I kind of thought of to share some news.”

Yves stopped moving. You could feel him staring at you. Did he understand? Was he happy? It was hard to tell because you weren’t looking at him. “A theme?”

You brought your hands up to your cheeks, ready to hide behind them as you tried to cool your face down. “Yeah. A baby theme.”

Finally, you glance at Yves through cracked fingers and he’s staring wide-eyed, it suddenly dawning on him what you were trying to get across. His eyes glistened as they grew watery, and before you can even guess how he’d take the news a grin stretched from ear to ear as tears began to roll down his cheeks.

“You’re having a baby?” He says in disbelief, but you know that there’s so much happiness in that expression and so much love he has in his heart for you.

“We’re having a baby.” You answer.

A small sob escapes him before he starts laughing, throwing his arms around you and covering you in kisses that are wet with tears.

IKEVIL VICTOR NSFW HC's

MDNI

౨ৎ He's such a HUGE giver. Prefers for him to go down on you than vice versa. The most powerful man in the country loves to go on his knees to make you see galaxies that only he can make you see. Every moan slipping from your tongue is the highest form of encouragement for Victor to make you feel even better. Every thrust is done with your pleasure in mind, and Victor will always make sure your release comes first before he chases his own.

౨ৎ When you do go down on him be ready to get so so so soooo much praise. "Ah, right there, my dear," "mhm, my darling robin is being such a good little girl. I can hardly wait to do bad things to her all night long-" "my darling, you feel so wonderful."

౨ৎ Lazy morning sex is a must. Since the Queen's Aide is a time-consuming job, you don't always see Victor throughout the day and usually you're out when it gets dark to do your job as fairytale keeper. It happens occasionally that you wake up in the morning by Victor gently brushing your hair off your shoulders so he can place soft kisses on your bare skin. His thrusts are so sensual and slow, such a contrast from how he makes love to you in the night. He loves to intertwine your hands and to either press his forehead against yours or to whisper sweet nothings in your ear with his low, raspy morning voice.

౨ৎ The definition of Sabrina's lyric "when you talk so sweet when you're doing bad things" he could be pounding into you like a starved man and he'd still call you a good girl and praise you for taking him so well.

౨ৎ However, that doesn't mean he isn't such a tease with his words. He especially loves to point out every time he thinks his darling good girl looks so corrupted with cheeks rosy red and such a lewd expression as he's fucking the innocence out of you.

౨ৎ That wedding epilogue wherein Kate asks him to touch her and Victor, knowing fully well what kind of touch she wants, teasingly gives her such a domestic one? Yeah, he loves teasing you like that. You could ask him for a kiss and instead of the obvious deep and passionate one you want, he either gives you a short and gentle one on the lips, a kiss on the cheek, or a kiss on the corner of your mouth. Then this man has the audacity to ask "like this/are you satisfied? " or when you ask him to touch you and he purposefully touches you an inch from where you want to be touched. Victor just loves to see you struggle to make your not-so-innocent desires clear, and he loves the frustrated expression as he almost gives you what you want: it's just adorable. What can he say? It's evil but he's a villain after all.

౨ৎ Always does after-care. In fact, there's no one beating Victor in after-care; he whispers affectionate words as he caresses your bare skin, cleans you up and suggests a bath together, not only grabs the glass of water but even brings it to your lips, will bake/cook you literally anything you want that you crave for, and you always end up snuggled in his muscular arms. I usually struggle to see some characters do aftercare or at least be very affectionate when doing so, but for Victor it feels extremely natural.

౨ৎ Desk/office sex. That's the headcanon I need Cybird to turn canon. Imagine Victor being frustrated with something the council or one of its man did and you either visit him in your break or are there to give a report. Victor is putting up a happy face, partially because he's genuinely thrilled to see you but also because he doesn't want to bother you. You notice anyways because he's your man so of course you know he's acting a bit off. You offer to make him feel better, which will throw Vic off guard the first time but then he'll amusingly note how his darling robin has become so bold. But also, if you visit him in his break for the simple fact you're needy Victor will find it absolutely adorable, and how can he say no to his dear robin flying all the way to him for his touch?

౨ৎ He's such a dom and usually on top. Victor is someone who we only see in authority positions like being the Queen's Aide, co-founder and leader of Crown, and even the oldest. He's taken on a somewhat parental role and he loves to take care and spoil others. Plus, he's lowkey pretty manipulative if you read between the lines and he always seems to have a sense of control. But the most important part is that Victor seems to enjoy and not mind it. So I think it's safe to assume the bedroom is no exception. He loves to be the one in control.

౨ৎ But just imagine how pretty he is when you're on top of him and his hair is spread out under him like a snow angel. This time, you're prioritizing his pleasure and my oh my, the absolutely filthy moans you drag out of him have Roger tune out all sounds. I mean, this man already shamelessly moans in some of his voiced lines. But Victor also has to really restrain himself to not roll you over and be the one to top you. It occasionally happens when he's close because he just can't resist to bring you just as close and make you finish at the same time.

౨ৎ Also imagine how hot he looks like when he's putting his hair in a ponytail as he's on his knees about to go down on you. He'd look the way he looks like in the banner.

౨ৎ Outside of all this dom and control talk, it'll be the biggest turn on for Victor if you grab his pontail and show him exactly where you want him. Genuinely making his dick twitch in his pants. Overall, he will find it absolutely amusing and adorable to see you take control in the bedroom. Partially because it's like a puppy trying to overmaster a wolf but also because he loves to see that strength in you, and he loves to see you chase down your pleasure and how he's of service to you. He's someone with strong dom tendencies but he also loves to a sub for you <3

Anyways, in celebration of kinktober!! Might turn a few of these headcanons in scenarios for it hehe✨
