Gilbert's route; chapter 4
My, Chevalier playing the wingman? Baking was Emma's idea, but if you look at it from a slightly different angle... Chevalier did encourage and enable her to do so. Could that be partly why Gilbert was surprised? He didn't factor this possibility in?

My, my, aren't you talkative today, Mr Michel? So willing to explain things too. I wonder why could that be... 😉

Tumblr media
It has been a while since I started living in Obsidian, but there is still a lot I don't know about Gilbert.
For example—
Gilbert: "… And then, what did you just say?"
Obsidian nobleman: "I'm... sorry... sir."
Gilbert: "Forget the apology, just say it again… okay?"
(... I didn't know...)
A bullet pierces the wall of the castle.
It passed by a nobleman who had been summoned by Gilbert to make a report,
It was emitted from the pitch-black cane that he usually carried around.
Tumblr media
(I knew it wasn't a normal cane because it was strangely heavy, but I didn't realize it was a gun.)
Tumblr media
The end of the cane was a cap, and when the cap was removed, the barrel of the gun was revealed.
The handle has been replaced by a trigger, and you can put your finger on it.
Gilbert: "You've got to tell me something soon, I'm not that patient myself."
Obsidian nobleman: "… We have been… illegally exploiting… the collection of… taxes."
Gilbert: "I agree. That's what the report says."
Gilbert: "It looks like you were collecting three times the normal tax and putting a lot of money in your pocket."
Gilbert: "Did you think I couldn't see you just because you're in a rural area? Ahaha, you're so naïve."
Gilbert: "The spies I raised are scattered everywhere. We are constantly doing spot checks."
Gilbert: "You let your guard down, didn't you?"
Obsidian nobleman: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry."
(Obsidian is a land of deceit and corruption... The center seems to be mitigating that, but not the provinces.)
Not all of the vast Obsidian territory is healthy, according to Gilbert,
The further away from the center, the deeper the corruption remains.
(… Gilbert had arranged for weapons to reach all exploited people in anticipation of his death.)
(But now that the Emperor is alive, there is no need for that yet.)
(… This is how Gilbert had to become a "Trampling Beast".)
Gilbert: "That's just it, little rabbit. What's the one thing I hate the most?"
Suddenly, I am asked to speak, and I straighten my back.
Emma: "… Lies."   //   "… A liar."
Gilbert: "Yes, I hate liars. I'll tell you how much I hate it—"
Gilbert changed his bloodlust into a smile, putting strength at his fingertips…
Emma: "Please wait!"
Without hesitation, I grabbed his hand tightly.
Gilbert: "What's wrong?"
Emma: "… The Earl seems to be very sorry for what he did."
Emma: "Isn't it an act of excessive authority to even take a life?"
Gilbert: "You're so naïve. This kind of person who can only think of himself will do the same thing over and over again."
Emma: "Then why not punish him in a way that he won't repeat it?"
Emma: "It's too short-sighted to take life for anything."
Gilbert: "Hmmm...?"
Gilbert's red eye does not smile, and I gasp.
The Emperor has no mercy on me, even though I am his lover.
(I feel like I'm being tested every time.)
Gilbert: "Then will you take responsibility for his rectification?"
Emma: "Rectification…?"
Gilbert: "I'll throw him in jail for a while, and if you reform him during that time, I'll consider letting him live."
Emma: "Please do so!"
(… Maybe he was planning to do this all along.)
Otherwise, he would not have dared to have me, who hates killing people, in his presence.
Lately, Gilbert has been trying to trust me to do things my way.
It may be a convenient interpretation, though,
As a matter of fact, I was glad to see that people were listening to me more than before.
Gilbert: "… I don't like it."
Tumblr media
For some reason, however, his neat face is distorted into a grim expression.
Emma: "Gilbert, you suggested..."
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "Yes, but I can't believe you would willingly take the opportunity to talk to a man other than me."
Emma: "… I can't talk to anyone when you say that."
Gilbert: "That's a good idea."   //   "That would be nice."
(Not good, not good...)
Emma: "Gilbert, you are different from the rest of them."
Gilbert: "I can say as many words as I want."
(... It's getting troublesome again.)
Gilbert approaches me while ignoring the frightened and trembling nobleman.
He was no longer interested in the Earl, and his target was narrowed down to me.
He lifts his chin and gives me a big smile.
Now that we have been together longer, I know what he wants from me.
(... I don't have a choice. People's lives are at stake.)
I close my eyes in the shame of being in front of others and kiss his cold lips.
Emma: "… I only do this to you, Gilbert."
Gilbert: "Hehe… Well done."
(Ah... the bloodlust has disappeared.)
Gilbert, smiling with satisfaction, kisses me back as well.
He then put his gun away in his cane in front of the nobleman who had been left behind.
Gilbert: "Good for you. She saved your life."
Obsidian nobleman: "… Thank you very much. Thank you."
Gilbert: "Yeah, yeah. Don't ever forget that gratitude, okay? Your life is in the palm of her hand."
(Sometimes… I wonder if Gilbert is threatening me to win over my allies.)
(… You may not like me, but you don't let me be…)
The kind of malice had changed from when I was at Rhodolite, and that was somewhat sad.
Gilbert: "Take him away."
Roderich: "… Yes sir."
Roderich, who had been waiting by the wall, drags the staggering man, gasping for breath, out of the room.
The tension that had dominated the room finally dissipated into a mist.
Emma: "… You can't be that mean."
Gilbert: "It's love, love."
(I feel like I should protest...)
Whenever I see Gilbert looking so happy with just one kiss, I can't say anything.
(... I'm pretty much the same way.)
I cleared my throat and blew away the embarrassment that was clearly out of place.
Emma: "And by the way, that cane... it was a gun."
Gilbert: "Do you want me to make one for you?"
Emma: "No, I don't need it."
Gilbert: "Eh, you're cold..."
Emma: "I don't need a gun, but... like that cane, there's still a lot I don't know about you."
(… And the best example of that is, of course—)
I stare at Gilbert's face.
Although I have lived at Obsidian for a fair amount of time now, I have yet to see beneath Gilbert's eye patch even once.
I wonder if there is a scar under the black eye patch or if there is another reason.
I had avoided asking until now, thinking it might be a topic I shouldn't touch, but Gilbert seemed to see right through my thoughts.
Gilbert: "… Are you curious?"
Emma: "Very..."
Gilbert: "I can tell you."
Emma: "Are you sure?"
(That’s surprisingly easy—)
Gilbert: "However..."
Gilbert hugs my waist and puts a bewitching smile on his lips.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "At night, on the bed...?"
══════════════════
After Walter diagnosed that Gilbert was doing well after the surgery, he began to bring me into his bed more often.
At first it was just light kissing and sleeping, but then the clouds began to lift...
Gilbert: "Well, what do you do when you get in bed?"
Now there are more days when a kiss is not enough to get him to forgive me.
Emma: "… I'm embarrassed every time."   //   "… It's embarrassing every time."
Gilbert: "I just want to see you embarrassed."
(Really, I've never seen anyone as bad as Gilbert.)
Smiling, Gilbert sits on the bed and looks at me.
I wanted to cry at the look that was not going to be turned away at all, but I emptied my mind and dropped my negligee on the floor.
Gilbert shakes his head as I am reduced to a thin piece of cloth.
Apparently, I have to take it all off to get under the eye patch.
Gilbert: "Take it off, or I will take it off anyway, right?"
Emma: "… It might be less embarrassing if you took off your clothes."
Gilbert: "I doubt that."
(…?)
Tumblr media
I was beckoned to come closer, and Gilbert stood up and mercilessly stripped me down to my underwear.
(Uwaaa!)
I quickly crouch down on the ground to cover my body.
My whole body was burning because I was not prepared for it.
Gilbert: "You're embarrassed when I undress you."
Emma: "… It was so sudden…"
Emma: "Anyway… Why am I always the only one naked—"
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "What, you want to see me naked? No, Little Bunny, you're shameless."
Emma: "Which one of us is the shameless one!?"
Gilbert: "Ahaha, I'm only going to make love to you, okay?"   //   "Ahaha, I'm only naughty for you, okay?"
(… I am not pleased. This is exactly what Gilbert wants.)
Laughing, Gilbert picks me up and rolls me onto the bed.
When I got down on my back and hid my body, his tongue crawled on my back.
Gilbert: "Turn around, Emma."   //   "Look at me, Emma."
Emma: "… I don't want to."
Gilbert: "Then I won't take off my eye patch either."
Emma: ". . . . . ."
Gilbert: "In the first place, if you look that way, you won't be able to see me, right?"
(It's all about the end result…)
I was kissed repeatedly on the back and occasionally bitten sweetly.
The frustration gradually outweighs the embarrassment of being naked.
(… I want to see what's under his eye patch…)
(I want to know the Gilbert I don't know.)
When the rain of kisses stopped, I made up my mind and turned my body up...
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "Ah, finally our eyes met."
Emma: ". . . . . ."
He has a beautiful ultramarine eye that I cannot help but admire.
Emma: "… It’s blue…"
Gilbert: "I was born with it. It's my complex."
Emma: "Why? It's so beautiful."
(Red and blue... I've never seen one with such a distinctly different eye color.)
Unlike red, the color of blood that seems to destroy everything, blue is gentle and full of affection.
My impression of Gilbert changed drastically from the right side to the left side.
Emma: "I love it."
Gilbert: "You may love it, but I will never love it."
(If you're going to go that far, there's something traumatic—)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "I mean, don't I look like a baby?"   //   "I mean, don't I look like a child?"   //   "I mean, don't I have a baby face?"
Emma: "…… Huh?"
I just couldn't keep my voice straight.
Emma: "It kind of… makes you look younger when you have both eyes showing…"
Gilbert: "I feel like it's more appropriate for my age if I hide it with an eye patch. I don't know."
(Oh, the reason is more than I thought.)
(… It’s sincere...)
I instantly turned my face away, but it was too late.
Gilbert: "… You smiled just now."
Emma: "N-No… I'm not smiling."
Gilbert: "I hate lies."
Emma: "Ah... nnh—"
Gilbert puts his fingers in between my legs with a look that makes me wonder if he's disapproving or amused.
Emma: "Don't…"
The cold fingers caressed my sensitive spot, and gradually, an obscene sound of whimpering and moaning assaulted my eardrums.
Gilbert: "Oh, I haven't even touched you that much yet—"
Emma: "… I-Is that really the only reason… for the eye patch?"
I forcibly interrupt the words that incite shame and then go further.   //   I forcibly interrupt the words that incite shame, and he goes more deeply. **
Gilbert: "No? There are other reasons, but you don't need to know them."
Gilbert: "Because it's no longer necessary."
(What does that mean—…)
Emma: "Ahh… mmm…"
Fingers penetrate deep into my body, and my hips lift.
I didn't have the time to ask the questions that came to mind.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "Hehe… Since I told you a secret, I deserve something in return."
Emma: "… W-wait—"
Gilbert: "Hey, you're not going to try to run away from me, are you...?"
I tried to escape, but Gilbert was expertly holding me down,
Without a moment to catch my breath, I had no choice but to take the stimulation given to me in stride.
(… I feel like… I'm being trampled…)
Eventually, his cold fingers and the heat in my body assimilate and become one.
No matter how many times I shuddered, he wouldn't let go, and the feeling of wetness was uncomfortable.
(A heat... in my belly...)
When I grabbed the black shirt, saying I couldn't do it anymore, the eyes of different colors responded in different ways.
It is really strange because the red one looks mean and the blue one looks like it is smiling gently.
Gilbert: "By the way, there's a lot more I haven't told you."
Gilbert: "I'm actually writing a book…"
(… Huh.)
Gilbert: "I've been drawing designs for the dress I gave you…"
(Eh…)
Gilbert: "Oh, and then..."
Gilbert suddenly remembers and pulls something shiny out of his pants pocket.
It was an insignia of King Chevalier with a white tiger emblem.
(When did you...!)
Gilbert: "This is terrible."
Gilbert: "I can't believe you have a man like me and yet you have something that belongs to another man."
Emma: "It doesn't mean anything strange!?"
Gilbert: "For you, maybe."
Gilbert: "But it's Chevalier's way of harassing me."
Emma: "I don't think—"
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
Chevalier: "There will come a day when you can use it if you want to establish a friendly relationship with Rhodolite."
Chevalier: "… Besides, I want to get revenge for being pushed around by Eyepatch, too."
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
(… It might have, it might happen.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "I'm jealous."
The moment the villain turned up the corner of his mouth with a smirk, my body was penetrated all of a sudden.
Emma: "Ahh—ahhhh…"
Without a shred of gentleness, he roughly gouges the heat out of my stomach.   //   Without a shred of gentleness, he roughly and violently hollows out the heat in my stomach.
My vision flashed, and my breathing became violently erratic.
Gilbert: "All you need to worry about is me…"
Gilbert: "The mere sight of another man makes me want to kill him, okay?"
(… It's more of… a threat than jealousy…)
Gilbert's "like" is dominance.   //   Gilbert's "love" is dominance.
Domination was an expression of his affection, and perhaps that has not changed.
(But... he doesn't take away my freedom, and he respects my heart.)
The occasional contradiction between what he says and what he does is evidence that he is wavering between beast and man.
My nails dig into Gilbert's perilously unstable back.   //   I dig my nails dangerously into Gilbert's back. **
My body heaved more, and I felt a tingle in the pit of my stomach.
(Gilbert now has… a human side as well…)
(So, I—...)
I let go of the violent pleasure with my breath, so much so that it almost took away my sense of consciousness.
Emma: "Just a little bit more... Please trust me."
Emma: "… I will never, ever betray you."
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
Emma: "… What is this "betrayal" you speak of, Prince Gilbert?"
Gilbert: "Well…"
Gilbert: "That you are no longer you."
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
(I'm… staying me.)
No matter how many more secrets about Gilbert I learn in the future,
I know that his underlying wounded heart is filled with love for others.
Gilbert: "I see..."
A pair of flickering eyes covered my vision, and my lips were sealed.
His lips, which are usually cold, are now so hot that they almost burn.
Gilbert: "I'm troublesome, difficult, and tough, but do your best...?"
The reply was charmingly lost.
(—I wonder if he's aware of that.)
Just as there are things I don't know about Gilbert, there are things he seems unaware of as well.
(Someday, I'd love to teach you.)   //   (Someday, I want to tell you.)
(Why I love you, even if you're mean, even if you threaten me…)
Gilbert, who does evil things to me without seeming to take offense...
He always had sincere love in his eyes——
Tumblr media
𝗟𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿:
To my beloved Little Bunny   //   To my darling little rabbit
I thought it was a good idea to lock up the little rabbit, but I guess not. I need to think of other ways to love you… If you have any good ideas, could you write me a letter? I will seek a compromise with your input as well.
Come to think of it, there's been a lot of talk about letters since I came to Obsidian. Before, I couldn't write anything without a question from you, but now it seems that's not the case. I have so much I want to tell you and share with you. I wonder... I haven't wanted to write a letter to someone like this since I was a child.
I used to love to write letters. Since I am frail and have spent most of my life in bed, letters are the only thing that connect me to the outside world. There were also a few friends who I never met face-to-face, only through our exchange of letters… My brothers, mother, and friends all taught me so much, and it was something I looked forward to every day.
I stopped doing any of those things when I became a beast… Hey, Emma. Write to me when you have time again. I'll keep writing to you too.
Oh, and by the way, you have no right to refuse this. Write a letter, or be forced to write one. You have a choice between those two options...?

So why I thought or decided that Gilbert is an antihero and not a villain?
Well first of alle the fact that he behaves around kids differently and kids seem to like him very well was the first reason to me. Yes, he doesn´t say to them who he is because he already knows their reaction but because he knows their reaction he isn´t saying his name because he wants to play around with them and look into their faces where he doesn´t see anxiety.
Then there was the fact that Belle and Gilbert are the same person according to Akatsuki. Gilbert was really like her but because something terrible happened (the death of his mother and one of his brothers) traumatized him. But instead of trying to kill his dad/the emperor directly he chose the path of a "villain" and killed everyone around him to get his trust. It´s not like he liked it, it´s not like he decided it in a moment of silence, he was kinda forced into it, I believe. So he climbed up and got the attention of the emperor who saw the future in him.
Another reason why he is an antihero. When "Hope" was attacked and he saw what Obsidian made there he killed the emperor because it was the only solution for Gilbert to save his country. Because he had to get the full power in this country to make it better which he did. But he never stated the death of the emperor to the citizens because he always wanted to work in the shadows.
He built up Obsidian he did defeat hunger and gave his folk new hope to live in a better country. But all of this had a price because to get to this point he HAD to kill many people and he had to give other countries the picture of a brutal Obsidian. Because 1. he didn´t explain himself (the death of the old emperor and that he was the new ruler), because he had everything planned out, even his death 2. because it was so isolated nobody could have visited it easily so their picture of Obsidian didn´t change after the war.
So yeah he is an antihero for me. Forced into a role but choosing to go down this path because he saw a solution at the end of this way and he always had his people in his mind.
But yeah I can understand when people say he is a villain, i won´t get angry or something. But I think behind Gilberts mask is so much more and he always thinks for others.

Is Gilbert a yandere?
Yes, very much so
He's been obsessed with Emma since before even actually meeting her, just by hearing stories about her during his childhood. Tries to isolate Emma from others. Will kill anyone who so much as glances at her.

Gilbert von Obsidian. Chapter 1.
Developer's Disclamer: Gilbert's Basic Story contains major spoilers for each character's main story. Please read with caution.
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
A few years ago.
One day in Rhodolite there was such a strange incident, like a joke of the gods.
A black-haired boy is sitting on a barrel in a empty alley, reading in an ancient language a book about the history of the continent that is difficult to understand, even for scholars.
Black-Haired Boy: Hey...why are people in power always rotten?
Next to him sits a blond boy with blue eyes. He too is reading.
Black-Haired Boy: They say continental history is the history of the nobility, but there are no good men.
Black-Haired Boy: Those who murdered their kin and gained the throne, those who expanded their territory by organizing other countries, those who turned a blind eye to the suffering of their people.
He would like to see someone good take the throne for once.
Back-haired boy : ...No, I wonder if such a man can't leave his name in history.
Blond Boy: No wonder. In a modern society where the class system has become common sense, the monarch who seeks love and equality must be eliminated first.
Blond boy: Once you hold on to power, you can never let it go.
His comrade reluctantly agrees.
Black-Haired Boy: I think humans are conscious creatures by nature.
Blond Boy: According to your theory, there are no real villains in the world.
Black-Haired Boy: Yes, because the essence of man is "love".
Tumblr media
Black-Haired Boy: I like people.
The blond-haired boy thinks his mate is dreaming, but the brunette waves him off, saying he's just a kid.
The blond boy laughs.
The black-haired boy's red eyes were full of love and kindness.
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
Our days.
The princes of the domestic political faction hold meetings. They want to convince the aristocracy and ministers that a meeting between the countries is necessary. And Obsidian will stay for the meeting.
Domestic Bureaucrat: Their betrayal of the past has remained undisclosed to this day.
Ten years have passed since Obsidian suddenly attacked Rhodolite.
Leon says that Obsidian hasn't shown diplomacy before, we should let their representative stay.
Leon: And if anything happens, Chevalier and I will take responsibility.
The official finally relents, but immediately turns the bureaucrat's attention to the heroine.
What is the point of this woman? Why is she here?
After she was Gilbert's date at the ball, she's being treated warily.
But the guys in Leon's faction are protective of her.
Yves mentions that their allies don't mind her presence.
Luke sits next to her.
Luke: Eh, it's a really bad atmosphere.
He's here because he's the new prince.
Luke asks, tiredly and a little annoyed, what does the bureaucrats know about Gilbert?
Invincible Marshal, arrogant member of the imperial family, world disaster, etc.
Tumblr media
Luke: These are all just stories. You don't know his real identity, do you?
Luke: Suddenly he could just fall in love with Mirana at first sight.
(No, that will never happen. )
Bureaucrats: 🤨😒
Leon is laughing.
Jin is supportive. MC is a beautiful woman.
Luke wants to leave and take the girl with him.
Leon gives him permission.
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
Garden.
Luke brings her here to relax. He strokes her head.
If she gets in trouble, he'll help her.
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
Their idyll was interrupted by Gilbert.
The beautiful garden turned to hell with his arrival.
Awkwardly looking around, MC saw a black figure among the windswept petals.
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
Gilbert: Hello. Perhaps you were in the middle of a secret date?
Luke: Alone. If you know, stay out of the way.
Gil doesn't like it. Luke tells him not to be jealous.
(...Luke doesn't change his attitude at all, even toward Prince Gilbert.)
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
Gilbert notices the sadness on MC's face. Has someone been making fun of her? She denies it.
Gilbert: I hate lies.
Luke defends MC. If anyone is bullying the girl, it's Gilbert. Luke steps forward, shielding the heroine from the Prince of Obsidian.
Luke: Because your very existence is horrible. Don't scare MC.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Eh, that's unreasonable. I haven't done anything horrible yet.
MC doesn't like his words. He doesn't want her to be afraid.
He wants to deepen their friendship.
He thanks the girl for escorting him to the ball.
The prince ignores Luke.
Gilbert: Shall we go together now?
Just the two of them, so no one gets in their way.
The girl is not stupid, she understands that he is interested in her for a reason. He wants to know if she is "Belle".
Luke: What are you thinking?
Gilbert: I'm only thinking about strengthening my friendship with Miss Bunny.
If she keeps looking at him with those sad eyes, he'll be so sad he'll want to kill her.
Gilbert asks Luke to come up with an excuse why he isn't there.
Luke is not happy. Why should he help Gil?
It's simple: Luke is of the foreign policy faction, and the girl is the lady on whom the future of the country depends. If the Prince of Obsidian doesn't like their behavior, their homeland will die.
(It sounds like a joke, but Prince Gilbert really can do it.)
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
1. Please give me time for a consultation
2. ....Even so, I can't take it. ✔
3. Okay, I'll go.
You could pick anything... But my MC is brave... or desperate fool. Maybe he'll like it, though. 💪🏼
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
(Even if I'm threatened, it's not something I should take lightly.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: Hmm? You're brave, even though you're scared.
Gilbert: I don't hate you, but I wouldn't want to do something terrible to you if I could.
He grabbed her hand. The coldness of his body could be felt even through his gloves.
It's inhuman cold.
Luke: Gilbert!
Gilbert: It's okay! I won't be cruel.
Gilbert: You should know better than anyone that I'm not lying.
(...What do you mean?)
Tumblr media
Luke: ...MC, if you really don't like it, I'll take this guy down.
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
The girl had to go with Gilbert. He brought her to the bookstore where she used to work. Today he had reserved that store specifically for them.
It was one thing if it was just a coincidence, but if he had it all figured out...?
Gilbert forcibly led her to the bookshelf.
The heroine loves books, doesn't she?
Gilbert: There are no annoying looks from the yard here. It's the only place where you can get back to your true self.
Gilbert: Are you pale? Aren't you happy?
MC asks how he knows about this place and that she likes books?
It's a secret + he likes to gather information. It's his hobby.
Gilbert: But it's your fault, Belle.
The heroine denies being "Belle."
Gilbert doesn't like lies.
Gilbert: Oh, is this the book you've been so fond of lately?
He pulls a black book with gold letters from the shelf.
The girl is startled by his awareness. She gathers up her courage and asks what his real goal is.
━━━━━━━༻❀✿❀༺━━━━━━━
He doesn't want to threaten her, but wants to be friends.
She refuses him.
But she has no choice. The black book has fallen to the floor.
She has only two choices: volunteer to be friends or be forced to be friends.
He bites her shoulder.
Either she becomes his friend or Belle disappears.
Gilbert: If the king's choice goes back to the beginning, we can buy enough time to lead our troops and invade.
MC: ...Do you really want to go to all this trouble and time to be friends with me?
He likes her question.
Gilbert: You have the most beautiful heart in Rhodolite.
There are different criteria for evaluation.
Gilbert: Let's define beauty in your case as "a stronger feeling of love for others than for yourself."
(You don't have to know anything about me....)
Her pure heart makes him sick.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: But you know, I think. No matter how beautiful a man's heart is, the essence of mankind is false love.
Gilbert: To pile up ugly lies and act as if there is love...there really is no such thing.
Gilbert: Even your beautiful heart is nothing more than a trick.
If she stays in court, greed will eventually get the better of her.
And he'd like to see it up close.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: I was curious to see how the most pure-hearted woman in Rhodolith would transform.
Gilbert: So, friend. To be near you, the excuse of being a friend is the fastest, right?
(...I may not even understand 10% of Prince Gilbert's story.)
MC tells him that she will remain herself and not live up to the prince's expectations.
Gilbert: Heh, that's funny.
He bites her again.
MC: Please don't bite me!
Gilbert: Did that hurt? I'm sorry.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: I like to leave a mark on my favorites. I mean, it's a sign that you're my friend.
Gilbert let go of MC. Turning around, she met his eyes. He was smiling, but his gaze was cold.
(......Looks like a real beast.)
She doesn't feel she can love him.

The crimes of the Obsidian royal family are heavy,
Even if we accumulate many good deeds from now on, we will not be able to redeem them.
I never intended to buy it in the first place. Evil was going to remain evil and scatter gracefully.

Gilbert: "… Do you love me that much?"
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
Until I saw "that face" in a dance hall, where I rarely set foot,
(In the end, bad luck, or whatever you call it...)
I've had a bomb in my body since childhood, and the success rate of treatment to remove it was supposed to be extremely low.
On top of that, I was supposed to have deteriorated to the point where I was told I had a short life expectancy, yet here I am, alive.
(... I can't say I'm in great shape.)
My breathing is more difficult with only light exercise than before.
Still, the pain that I had been dealing with through deceit and manipulation was much lessened.
(… It was.)
I hide behind a pillar, regulating my ragged breath.
Back at Obsidian Castle, the little rabbit was crying alone in the laboratory.
The letter in her hand lets her know that she has fallen into a villain's trap.
(Poor thing. It's no fun to just greet the little rabbit, so I played a prank on her...)
(I never thought you would cry like that.)
I am not a noble person who can make you shed tears, even if I am wrong.
If she mourns the death of a villain, she should be overwhelmed by the grief of being killed by a trampling beast.
(But unfortunately, I don't have a guilty conscience.)
(I've never once thought I did anything wrong, you know...)
I approach the little rabbit with my hood pulled over my eyes.
I definitely see myself as Roderich now.
Gilbert: "Did you find anything?"
When I imitate his voice and ask her a question, the little rabbit holds out a crumpled letter.
Gilbert: "… I see."
Emma: ". . . . . ."
Gilbert: "Would you… like me to become Lord Gilbert myself?"
(... Actually, I wanted to ask her.)
(Do you want me, or do you want anyone who looks like me?)
A man who had lived his whole life without believing in love did not stop to smile bitterly at how troublesome this kind of thing was.
Gilbert: "I may start out as a different person, but if I keep acting like him, I could become the real thing."
Gilbert: "From now on, I will spend more time with you than with Lord Gilbert."
Gilbert: "If so… the replacement of one person for another will still be a fresh wound."
Gilbert: "I will act perfectly. That's why I've been there for you all along." **
The little rabbit, who thinks completely that I'm Roderich, shakes her head repeatedly.
Emma: "… You may look alike… but you're not the same person."
Emma: "I… fell… in love… with Gilbert..."
Emma: "Even if he's gone..."
Emma: "I'm sure I'll never... ever... even be able to give up his heart..."
Emma: "I think I will… continue to have my first and last love."   //   "I think… I'm going to keep falling in love for the first and last time."
(. . . . . .)
For the first time, I thought people's crying faces were beautiful.
(...I see.)
(I see...)
I cupped her wet cheeks in my palms and wiped away the spilled tears.
(You love me, you really love me.)
(… You're an idiot.)
Emma: "… It's cold..."
(Oh, she noticed me.)
Gilbert: "But it's nice, isn't it?"
The little rabbit's eyes widened in surprise.
I was amused at how quickly I switched from one to the other, and I chuckled, then took off my hood.
Gilbert: "Surprised?"
Emma: ". . . . . ."
Gilbert: "I wanted to see the little rabbit crying her eyes out."
Emma: ". . . . . ."
Gilbert: "But it's your fault for not reading the letter to the end."
Gilbert: "Didn't it say, 'I'm out of the office right now, but I'll be right back'?"
Emma: ". . . . . ."
Gilbert: "Well, I thought you would get the wrong idea just reading the beginning."
(No, I'm terrible.)
(You're a real idiot to fall in love with a man like me.)
Gilbert: "But still, you look terrible... Hehe, you must have been so sad."
She still can't believe it, and her hand is outstretched.
When I grasped her hand tightly, her clear eyes became brighter, like jewels.
Emma: "… I missed you."
Emma: "I... missed you so much..."
Tumblr media
(… Now, for the first time in my life, I feel guilty.)
Gilbert: "… I thought Little Bunny would get angry and say, "Don't do something that's not a joke!"
Emma: "… You wanted to make me angry."
Gilbert: "Yeah, you're cute when you're angry."
Gilbert: "But you are even prettier when you honestly say you missed me."
Gilbert: "I'm lucky to be alive."
When I dared to make a cheerful voice to blow away the gloomy atmosphere of the place,
The little rabbit's expression softened at last.
Emma: "... Your body..."
Gilbert: "They cut me open and did this and that directly to me, so..."
Emma: "!?"
Gilbert: "Ah, surgery isn't mainstream at Rhodolite yet."
Gilbert: "There's been a lot of research in Obsidian in recent years. That there are treatments like that."
(Medical tower specialists, including Walter, have been researching this for years, and I sometimes give my opinion...)
(That's how we built Obsidian's healthcare today.)
We take pride in being far more advanced than other countries.
It is one of the few things that Obsidian can be proud of.
(I'm sure this will eventually become a diplomatic card too... though unlike weapons, it's not something I'm willing to give away.)
Gilbert: "I'm not in the best of shape, to be honest. I tried my best when I heard Little Bunny had returned, but..."
Emma: "… Don't strain yourself, let's go to your room."
Gilbert: "No. When I go back to my room, Walter comes in on a regular basis."
Gilbert: "I forced him to go to the medical tower today, but it's time for him to come back…"
Gilbert: "I'd like to have a little more time alone with Little Bunny."
With what I just said, she realized that the whole thing was a set-up trap.
A dumbfounded smile appears on the face of the little rabbit.
Emma: "... I hope you are cured of your illness."
(She's not mad at me for tricking her.)
(Frankly, if I live, it's going to interfere with a lot of plans—)
(Well, I'm happy, and the little rabbit seems happy, too.)
Like a villain, I decided to surrender myself to my convenient feelings for today.
══════════════════
—The first thing I wanted to do when the little rabbit came back was have an unveiling party.
I have been treating her as a guest of Obsidian until now,
I was merciful enough to let her return to Rhodolite at any time, but I don't need that kind of consideration anymore.
Tumblr media
(I decided to tie her to the throne so she couldn't go anywhere and keep her by my side forever.)
It would have been impossible to welcome a woman of unknown background to the imperial family, but,
With the "royal family" on the verge of collapse, I can do whatever I want.
(Besides, I'll destroy the concept of the royal family. …Whether I'll die then is another thing to worry about.)
Emma: "… Gilbert."
When the assembled soldiers dispersed and left us alone together,
The little rabbit on the throne opened her mouth fearfully.
Gilbert: "What is it?"
Emma: "Well..."
Emma: "I feel like a lot of things have been skipped over."
Gilbert: "Yeah, for example?"
Emma: "Even though I lied, we weren't even lovers in the first place."
Gilbert: "I know. We're friends."
Emma: "... But I don't think my friends would kiss me like that either."
Gilbert: "What kind of kiss is that?"
Emma: "Uh... I'll omit it."
Gilbert: "Ahaha, that's the first."
Emma: "Anyway! We weren't even lovers, and now suddenly there's an atmosphere of marriage…"   //   "Anyway! Even though we weren't even lovers, the atmosphere is that we suddenly got married…" **
Emma: "I'm not sure if my mind can keep up with all of this, but I don't think that being an empress is something for an ignorant woman to take on..."
Gilbert: "Don't worry. The hard stuff will be done by the various specialists, and I'll do the smart work myself."
I've been making steady preparations so that I don't have to worry when I'm gone.
Now Obsidian is able to turn without the worst of the emperor.
Gilbert: "All you have to do is make a "humane" decision. Easy, isn't it?"
(The people who can't do that are the Obsidian royalty, including myself... but not you.)
I was genuinely interested in what kind of judgment the little rabbit, who grew up in a place unrelated to power, would make when she took the throne.   //   I was genuinely curious to see how the innocent little rabbit, who had grown up in a place with no connection to authority, would make decisions once she took her place on the throne.
Gilbert: "And then there's the matter of the mind not being able to keep up? That's okay, too."
Gilbert: "We'll just have a lot of flirting from now on."
Emma: "... So, I'm your lover, is that it?"
Gilbert: "Well..."
(Actually... there's something I've been meaning to give you when you get back.)
I put my hand behind my back and pulled out a bouquet of roses that I had hidden in a blind spot—
Gilbert: "My feelings."
Emma: "Gilbert's..."
When I was a child, I once saw a man and woman proposing to each other by handing them a bouquet of roses in the streets of Rhodolite.
I later learned from a friend that it was a common method of confession in the Land of Roses.
(I heard that rose originally had a meaning like "love"...)
What I insisted on were not red, yellow, or white, but black roses.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "You are mine."
Emma: "…!"
Gilbert: "That's what it means."
Tumblr media
(And I was also told that it is the color of "undying love.")
In fact, it would have been more like a confession if I had told her that one,
But I thought it would not suit a villain, so I tucked it away in my heart.
Gilbert: "I like and hate beautiful things."
Gilbert: "I have to worry about it getting dirty."
Gilbert: "Then it would be better if I were to dye you black from the very beginning."
Emma: "… It's already pitch black, myself."
Emma: "It's so black, I can't even face Rhodolite."
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "But you're still beautiful."
(Wearing a black dress, receiving a black rose, and loving a villain in pitch black…)   //   (Although she is wearing a black dress, being offered a black rose, and loving a villain who is supposed to be pitch-black…)
She herself says that she was "dyed black", so I did not dare to deny it, but even if she was dyed black, she was still pure white.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "You... are the most beautiful thing I've ever seen."
(It is dirty and smudges, but does not stain.)   //   (You can get dirty, but you can't get stained.) **
(I did a lot of mean things, and you didn't change a thing.)
(You didn't betray me.)
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "That's why I wanted you."
Gilbert: "No matter how much you want to get dirty, you are the one who never gets dirty."
With the sun behind me, I lift the corners of my mouth.
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "It doesn't matter if you like me or hate me."
Tumblr media
Gilbert: "A villain tramples over and dominates what he likes and makes it his own. …I won't let you escape, okay?"
It's a terribly selfish statement, but the little rabbit smiles happily.
(Really, you're losing your mind...)   //   (I'm really out of my mind...)
I kiss the little rabbit, who accepts the black rose just to touch it.
Emma: "Gilbert…"
I was in a good mood and kept pecking her, and then she called my name.
Emma: "What do you think is the essence of a person?"
Gilbert: ". . . . . ."
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
Gilbert: "But you know what I think? No matter how beautiful your heart is, the essence of a person is "false love"."   //   "But I think, no matter how beautiful the heart is, the essence of a person is false love."
Gilbert: "Piling up ugly lies and acting as if there is love. When, in fact, there is no such thing."
Gilbert: "Even your beautiful heart is only a trick."
⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘⫘
(Well...)
Gilbert: "... All the ones I've loved are dead."
Gilbert: "They told me they loved me, and then they died."
Emma: ". . . . . ."
Gilbert: "I have nothing but hatred for those with beautiful hearts who think of others. I still doubt you."
Gilbert: "Where's the love in that act of leaving me alone with a terrible lie?"
(Even though, of course, the rotten ones have no love...)
(... Even the two people who betrayed me for me didn't want to admit that it was love.)
Love for me is a being that does not give me "loneliness."
Gilbert: "But…"
A bouquet of black roses with the love I've kept away from her, poking them with my fingertips.
Gilbert: "… I wish it was love."
Gilbert: "Only you..."
Gilbert: "I'm going to try to love you again."
(If you betray me, I'll never trust anyone again, but...)
Tumblr media
(I hope that Little Bunny... Emma is the true "essence of a person".)
(I...)
Tumblr media
(I don't ever want to be lonely again.)   //   (I never want to feel lonely again.)
Emma: "Please love me a lot."
Gilbert: "… You too?"
Each time our lips meet again and again, heat reaches every corner of my normally cold body.
The face I peeked into between kisses was reddish-colored and damp...
It exudes the same earnest love that I saw in the dance hall.
Tumblr media
(Don't you know? It's been a long time since I've been swayed by you.)
Tumblr media
The more we kissed, the more I felt like I was being trampled over—
