Chapter 10

A Pox on the Phony King

Suddenly, Asuramaru jumped down from a tree branch just above the two and lands right on Yuu's shoulder. "Asuramaru?" His companion's sudden appearance left the hero and prince confused until they heard more rustling.

"Surprise!" They turn to see Friar Guren cheering. "Long live Yuichiro Amane, our Seraphic Robin Hood!"

Behind him were three women, Sayuri and Shigure the Sisters of the Church, Mito the pipe organ player and her husband Goshi a scholar as they all cheer as well. "And long live Prince Mikaela!" Mito calls as she and her close friends applaud.

Then all around the couple, every band member and villager appear from the trees, cheering with support for their love. This had caused Yuu and Mika to share a smile, very glad to have such strong support and the good people of Doveport on their side.

Appearing from the trees after Kōta and Mirai appear safely, Mitsuba holds her two thumbs down and exclaims, "And down with that pathetic King Ferid!"

"You said it, girl!" Shinoa agrees as she holds her flute since she had returned Kōta's arrow as Kimizuki strums his acoustic guitar and she soon joins him on the song.

Oh, the world will sing

of a Nadorian king

A thousand years from now

As the two play the song, many others soon begin to dance happily with Yuu and Mika simply watching, their smiles growing to see everyone having fun.

And not because

he passed some laws

Or had that lofty brow

Even Shinya, playing his mandolin, taps his feet to the song and a few other of Yuu's band play their ideal instrument.

While loving good Queen Krul

Leads the great crusade she's on

We'll all have to slave away

For that good-for-nothing Ferid

Narumi offers a quick dance to Mika with Yuu clapping along.

Incredible as he is inept

Whenever the history

books are kept

They'll call him

the phony king of Nadora

A pox on the phony

king of Nadora

Guren and a few others exclaim over what they want to happen to Ferid for all the bad and suffering he has caused. Then Kimizuki pulls a makeshift curtain open to reveal a small stage with a puppet to resemble Ferid appearing, the former king's crown tight on his big head. Watching the puppet mimic and mock the king, everyone burst into laughter with the children being the loudest.

He sits alone

on a giant throne

Pretending he's the king

Then two more puppets appear to represent Lacus and Rene so the actors make up a scene with the three argue over something stupid before they get into a big fight with 'Lacus' and 'Rene' getting the best of 'Ferid', bringing out more laughter.

A little tyke who's rather like

A puppet on a string

And he throws an angry tantrum

If he can not have his way

And he calls out for the prince

While twirling and tugging on his hair

To hear that little fact about Ferid as the laughter continues to grow caused Mika to blush as Yuu soon leads him into the dance with Kōta taking Mirai's hand and they dance beside the hero and his prince.

You see he doesn't want to play

Too late to be known

as Ferid the First

He's sure to be known

as Ferid the Worst

Eventually the 'Ferid' puppet had taken too much of a beating and fell apart with Guren, Narumi and Iwasaki stare at it with wide eyes. The two hear the puppet rip apart and both Yuu and Mika burst into laughter with the three actors smiling at just how funny their acting had ended.

A pox on that phony

king of Nadora

Lay that country on me, babe

Kimizuki gives the lead to Shinya and as he takes over, Kimizuki offers a dance to Yoichi and Shinoa and Mitsuba also join in as they dance around Yuu and Mika. Secretly watching his sister dance and have fun with Kōta, Kimizuki is happy that he had kept Mirai safe during the battle on the tournament field so he felt that she is in good hands with the new member.

While he taxes us to pieces

And he robs us of our bread

King Sirius' crown

keeps falling down

Off that large head

Ah, but while there is a merry man

In Yuu's wily pack

We'll find a way to make him pay

And steal our money back

A minute before

he knows we're there

Old Yuu'll snatch his underwear

Then Yuu swiftly takes out a pair of pearly white underwear pants from a back pocket, surprising everyone and causing Mika to laugh at the image of Ferid realizing he'll be found barenaked if he's not careful. His laughing fit dies down when Yuu tosses the underwear over his shoulder and brings Mika close once again, sharing a quick kiss before dancing again.

The breezy and uneasy

king of Nadora

The sniveling, groveling

Measly, weaselly

Blabbering, jabbering

Jibbering, jabbering

Plundering, plotting

Wheeling, dealing

Prince Ferid

that phony king of Nadora

Yeah

As the song comes to a close, Yuu dips Mika who is still laughing from all of the true, mocking words towards Ferid. His laughter dies down while he is still dipped to the side, Mika cups Yuu's face and brings him much closer so their foreheads touch, their eyes shut with peaceful expressions across their faces.
