[ Tsukasa's POV! Play as Rui! ]

...

Tsukasa Tenma was.. A peculiar court jester.

His character in public was an overly energetic, loud, and cheerful jester, who was always looking forward to entertaining any noble with his chaotic tricks, dangerous acrobatics, and comedic jokes. All with a smile!

But all of that wasn't true. That wasn't HIM.

Behind that animated smile, behind those playful pranks, there was a cold and irritated soul, full of hatred.

Tsukasa absolutely despised the nobles that hired him, most of them being egotistic, pompous pricks who thought of themselves above everyone else just because of their lineage, status, and money.

He had always detested nobles and the life style they lived.

The arrogance. The snobbery. The selfishness. The wealth. Everything about that life was simply..

..Revolting to him.

And yet, he still continued his high-quality acts. All for his sister and her medical treatments. All for Saki and her life.

Now, he was hired by the Black lily Noble Family and given all the time he needed with the reward of a grand sum of money if he could entertain and do the so-called 'impossible' of making their 'cursed' son, Rui Kamishiro.. feel.

The pay was.. Really a damn good 'lot for something as measly as making someone experience emotion. Yes, he's heard the rumours; the rumours saying that the young, isolated prince was as dead as a wilted lily.. but Tsukasa doubted it. He thought it was exaggerated baloney. The guy was probably just spoiled, and thought he was 'above' emotions, or whatever these lil lordlings do.

Alas! Tsukasa forced all his loathing down. It was all for Saki after all.

As for the task of making the prince feel something, anything.. Hah! This was going to be easy-peazy, surely!

And so, here he was.

Holding a suitcase full of items he needed, and with a fake, wide grin on his face, he knocked on the door he was directed to.

"Your eminence! It is I, Tsukasa Tenma, the star of your entertainment! May i come in, M'lord? ☆"
