Chapter 1
…
Once upon a time, there was a wealthy and powerful country. The country possessed the most advanced technology and the most splendid culture. People there had abundance of food and clothing, living peacefully.
The King Rome fought south and north and won the big sphere and countless treasures, which made other king fill with envy, who didn't understand that the brilliant monarch of the Kingdom, also had his own troubles.
Rome had been busy with campaigns the whole life, and acquired the endless money. Now he wearied, his greatest wish was to hold one or two grandchildren.
But his Queen Germanic was male. Of course they were not able to give birth to a son. So was that possible to get a grandchild? The helpless king could only pray for a child.
A forest in the west of the Kingdom, where filled with exotic flowers and rare herbs. No one dared to step into the forest. Because the forest belonged to a sorcerer named Arthur. Arthur was one of the most powerful sorcerers in the world and everyone was afraid of him.
But Grandpa Rome really wanted a grandson, so he sent to invite the evil sorcerer.
As we all know, Arthur was really fond of boys. He promised to help Grandpa Rome, but rejected the treasures and jewels of reward.
In contrast, he said to Rome and Germanic: "If you get a boy, then he should be put to me I'll make him live well, treat him like a brother."
However, Rome was not a simple coward. He said: "Okay, but once my grandchild grow up to twenty years of age, you must let him come back to me."
Twenty-year-old could not be called 'shota' any longer, Arthur thought and enlightened agreed.
Rome's wish was achieved. As we suspected, he got a pair of twin grandchildren.
The elder was named Lovino and the younger was Feliciano. They had soft brown hair and shiny beautiful eyes, which made these two boys very very cute.
As the contract with Arthur, he must pay out these two children. Although quite unwilling, Grandpa Rome still had to no choice but fulfilled the shit pledge.
In accordance with his promise, Arthur took care of the brothers with full love. He liked both of them, either sweet and innocent Feliciano, or arrogant Lovino. Love reached ultimate after they grew up to twelve years old.
Arthur was finally a bit fed up, he decided to shift the goal, and get to the other shota. But in order to avoid the escape of twin brothers, he got them locked up in two high towers.
The towers were in the deepest of the forest, and had neither stair nor door, only a small window at the top of the tower could let them view the outside. Whenever Arthur wanted to get in, he would shout under the tower: "Prince Prince, let down your curl."
Although Feliciano would not really let the hair down, but when he heard the shout of Arthur, he would let the curtains down to help Arthur climb.
But Lovino was not as easy to get. Whenever under the tower, Arthur shouted, "Lovino Lovino, let down your curl.", The arrogant prince would took a hard object and threw it out, never forgetting yelling at the people underneath: "I'll never let you touch my curl! Bastard!"
Arthur was never smashed but he was afraid to. So it became more and more rarely to visit Lovino.
In fact, Lovino and Feliciano had slowly grown into very cute boys. Like their valiant grandfather, they also inherited the funny curls.
The curls were always bobbing up and down as the two brothers sincere mood changed, which was truly lovely. Unfortunately, no one in this high tower, no one was watching.
Time had passed three or four years, Antonio was a prince of Tomato Kingdom. One day, he rode through the forest, and passed the secret tower of Lovino.
Then, he suddenly heard someone wildly cursed- a tomato flying out from the top of the tower. Antonio could not help but stop and curiously peep.
The one who threw the scold and tomato out was Lovino. It had been a long time since Arthur came last time. And also a long time he didn't speak with others. The sorcerer came but the lonely Lovin's feeling was mixed, paradoxically considering for some while, but finally threw out the tomato.
As the literal meaning, Arthur left without any hesitation. Lovino showed his head dispiritedly from the window, swore a few words, which was not able to scold Arthur back.
All these were collected by passing Antonio. Really wild little guy, he mused.
Lovino stared at the direction of stupid sorcerer's leaving very long, then sniffed, wiped his tears by old sleeve, then silently turned back to the tower.
This scene touched the heartstrings of Antonio, he seemed to feel boy's loneliness and could not help but sad for it. Although the mouth was very bad, it must be a kind-hearted and lonely child.
Antonio wanted to climb up to see him. He looked for the door but found nothing. He was discouraged and left.
After being back the palace, he couldn't be contented. The boy's reddened face and sparkling tears had impressed him. After that, he kept riding to the forest everyday, hiding somewhere in the bottom of the column, waiting for the boy rarely showed his head out.
Just seeing the child there, he felt cheerful.
After the watching, Antonio found the child always staring at one direction. There must be something! He rode along the direction Lovino kept watching, wanted to explore for some clues.
It didn't cost him much time. There was another tower, and the bottom of the column standing a blonde. Antonio immediately hid behind a tree, secretly peeped.
He recognized the man, Prince Ludwig of Potato Kingdom. What's he doing here? Antonio frowned, continued to quietly peep.
He saw Ludwig taking an alert look around, and then shouting to the top of the tower: "Feli! Feli! Hurry up! Let your curl down!"
Feliciano immediately let curtains down so Ludwig climbed into the tower. Antonio thought to himself, if those were the magic words leading to the top of the tower, he could also try his luck.
The next evening, he came to the tower again, shouted: "Feli! Feli! Hurry up! Let your curl down!"
Strangely, no ladder appeared, only a voice from the tower yelled, "Dare you bother me! Go away!" It was the young voice he heard before, Antonio was encouraged.
He shouted again: "Feli! Feli! Hurry up! Let your curl down !"
This time, he continuously shouted several times, but didn't get a response. Perhaps the spell of magic words was wrongly remembered, he was about to try it again before seeing the boy poking his head out.
"What wrong with you! I'm Lovino, not Feliciano that idiot!" The tower boy angrily shouted.
"I, I don't know that!" Antonio replied loudly.
Lovino saw the strange man in the bottom of the column, shocked, he hadn't seen other similar creatures except Arthur and Feliciano.
Although occasionally seeing a blond climbing Feliciano's tower he always thought it was Arthur.
"Who is that bastard?" Lovino's tone was very bad.
"My name is Antonio. I'm a prince."
"I am a prince too, princes count for nothing!" Lovino left the impatient words and got back.
Antonio didn't know why, perhaps he just read the wrong spell, shouted again: "Lovino Lovino! Please let your curl down!"
Finally, Lovino put the curtains down, and Antonio climbed up.
When he got into the tower, Lovino watched him as he was a monster: "You were a real prince?"
"I am the Prince of the Kingdom of tomato, my name is Antonio." Antonio replied.
"Tomatoes' Kingdom? That's really stupid. "Lovino sniffed contemptuously," What are you doing here? If Arthur found you, he'd turn you into a shota. "
"I, I am definitely not a bad man!" Antonio explained hastily, "Please trust me!"
When Lovino asked him the purpose, Antonio hesitated and didn't give an answer, Lovino got some unhappy. He was impatient and going to push the man down the tower. Antonio didn't want to be nasty, only had to tell the whole story.
Listening to the narrative, Lovino finally no longer drove him away. He adjudicated that the man didn't seem to a bad guy, blushed and said: "Well, it doesn't matter you stay a little longer."
Antonio was very happy, and asked why Lovino lived in this tower. When he knew that Lovino was immured by the evil sorcerer, he could not help but felt sorry for Lovino.
Before Antonio left, Lovino asked him: "Will you come again?"
"Well, of course." looking at Lovino's red face, Antonio felt happiness.
"The next time get some bread and wine here." Lovino said.
Antonio nodded, and rode away.
Arthur was more rarely to Lovino, not only Lovino, and even Feliciano. Lovino guessed he must grab other cute boys.
It's not a big deal. It would be better if bastard never came again. If the sorcerer just met Antonio, then they would get into trouble.
Besides, Lovino could never stand the unpalatable food of Arthur.
Antonio came to the tower every evening, he always brought Lovino plenty of tomatoes and beverages, described Lovino a variety of stories and legends.
Whenever he came, Lovino's curl tilted highly. Antonio could see that he was cheerful, so he felt happy too.
