Hi everyone! Here is the next chapter for you. It is told from Obscur's POV. Read and review! enjoy~

Last chapter:

It turns out that Obscur had been watching the whole thing from the private library upstairs. He turned around and told a group of hideous monsters, "These girls are getting in the way of the gathering of our precious noir." The monsters bowed and said, "Understood, Obscur-sama." Obscur narrowed his eyes and stared at the ground, his lips curling upward into an ominous grin. "However, we will not let them get in our way any longer."

Obscur's POV

I smirked maliciously as I watched those two powerless witches purify my precious noir. Ha, how great do they think they are? Noir is more powerful than any other heart. I need more of it. There is still a "cold war" going on between the Ogres and La Royaume. I am to become the Ogre King... if only I can find a suitable Ogre Princess to increase the amount of noir on Earth. I turned to face a group of Ogres behind me, then I heard a distant calling. "Rune, Sugar de Blanche!" A sweet yet troubled voice called. It sounded like Noguchi Hiroko's voice. I knew she was a witch from the start. And she was from La Royaume. But I understood the jealousy she felt. I knew she had an orange heart for me, but she was jealous because I showed affection for the Mieux queen candidate.

But that affection was false. I was just trying to kill two birds with one stone: Get a pink heart out of her, and make everyone else's heart black. I followed the voice and saw the Hiroko girl in a strapless knee length white dress with purple slippers and a purple mask, and a thick purple feather boa. Her hair was twisted into a high bun, and her face was heavily made up. Her lips curled upwards as she met my gaze. "Ah, Obscur... we're all wizards, aren't we?" Ugh. La Royaume dirt! But she seemed like the perfect little jealous girl I could use to become my queen. I grinned ominously. "Yes, aren't we all?" I showed her my noir heart. She moaned, "Ah, noir... so precious..."

"But I cannot take any because I'm La Royaume scum. Woe is me..." She walked up to me and whispered, "I love you, Prince Obscur. I really do. That's why I'm so jealous of that queen candidate." Her heart glowed red, her face full of agony. She whispered in my ear, "I've always wanted to be the Ogre Queen." I stared at the red heart on her chest, then at her miserable face. "Love is a poison... please, Prince Obscur..." I stared into her eyes. "We can arrange that." I closed my eyes and magically teleported us to my Ogre palace. I seated her at the end of my long silver table, and I sat at the other end. She gasped, "Prince- Oh! Prince Obscur! Where are we?" I said, "My palace." It was adorned with noir and cold black flames. "So, you wish to be my Ogre Queen?" I inquired. She nodded. I snapped my fingers, and my servant, Furtif, came in a jiffy.

"What is it, Obscur-sama?" he said. I gestured toward the girl in white and purple at the end of the table. "The Ogre's princess-to-be has finally come." She stood up and said, "My name is not Noguchi Hiroko. My name is Blanche. Blanche du Perle-Lune." Furtif told me, "To give her a noir heart, we must implant one in her." He left and came back with a white pillow with pearls on the corners. There was a large black heart on it. I picked the heart up, and said, "Thank you, Furtif. You may leave." He left in the blink of an eye. Blanche stared at the noir, her witch transformation being undone. I said, "Blanche, come." She slowly came out of her seat and walked to me. I put a hand on her waist, and her body tilted back. I instructed, "Breathe."

I let the noir sink into her chest. The scent of dead roses engulfed the air as I let her fall onto the floor, letting the power seep into her. Black rose petals and a cold wind swirled around her body. She was twisted to one side, her golden hair spread on the floor. I grinned. An Ogre Princess means more noir. More noir is empowered Ogres. Empowered Ogres will overcome La Royaume. The heart was done sinking into her. Her eyes opened sharply, and black waves came out of her heart. Her head tilted back and she growled, "Noir..." Using magic, I picked her up without touching her. I said, "Princess Blanche, you and I shall be a team to increase noir in the human world. Ah... humans, they are such feeble creatures."

Blanche closed her eyes and touched her purple headband with white rhinestones shaped like flowers. "Rune," she said in a powerful voice. "Sugar de Blanche!" A layer of black coated her body, and she shone in rainbow colors. She eventually broke out of her cover and said confidently, "Rune! Sugar de Blanche!" I looked at her brand new transformation. She was wearing a dark purple halterneck dress that reached her thighs. It had a large silver and black rose pinned to her chest. She had net tights and black Stiletto high heel knee-high boots. She was heavily made up with Goth makeup.

I faced Blanche. "What do you suppose we must do to get revenge against La Royaume?" I asked.

Her upper lip curled upwards. "We must declare war."
