Tsukasa Yugi.

The youngest son of the royal family, Tsukasa Yugi, the black sheep, was said to be someone who never felt satisfied, whose smile was unnerving...he didn't fit the mold of a prince.

His seventeenth birthday arrived, and he wasn't the least bit excited. His eyes wandered aimlessly around the hall; nothing was fun...he just wanted to leave.

"Therefore, young prince, we have decided to bring you a special gift: a beautiful crystal."

The words didn't grab his attention, but the door opening to reveal a short girl eating an apple as if she weren't in the presence of royalty did. In her hand, she held a small box. It wasn't the crystal that caught Tsukasa's eye, but her. An elf, with pointed ears and a calm gaze that showed neither fear nor respect, only normality. Her clumsy attempt at a bow provoked uncomfortable murmurs among those present. Before she could react, the man accompanying her hurriedly snatched the box, afraid of offending the prince.

"Her. I want her."

Tsukasa's voice rang out without hesitation. Everyone fell silent.

That's how it all began. From that day on, Tsukasa followed her everywhere. He clung to her, held her hand, smiled at her like a spoiled child… he even gently nipped at her neck. To the elf, he behaved like a restless cat who had decided to adopt her.

One more morning, his body heat was a stark contrast to that cold-blooded elf hidden beneath his sheets; he felt her stir like a restless puppy until she woke him up, his eyes slowly opened, meeting hers: orange, curious, watching him as he awoke. Tsukasa grinned, baring his fangs as he sat up.

"Hmm? Are you imitating me?" —he asked playfully, leaning towards her and placing his hands on either side of her knees —"Cute~"— he murmured, grinning from ear to ear, his fangs bared, his dark eyes sparkling with childlike enthusiasm.
