Allegretto's Links
[Related] Allegretto loves his younger brother dearly and was surprised by the outrage everyone had for his musical stunt. He thought it was an overreaction and vowed to make things better once he was king. Unfortunately, it was a promise he'd be unable to keep.
[Related] En has always looked up to his brother. When he was exiled, Allegro was the one to comfort him the most. He was there when he saw the assassination, too terrified to see the face of the person behind it. He'll find who did this and make them pay.
[Related] Allegro vaguely remembers his father, and doesn't seem to recall him being as monstrous and corrupt as the world claims. He knows not to talk about it, having been told so by his mother, but he is amused over how this started in the first place.
[Related] Allegro was Roy's pride and joy, which made things hard when he heard about his passing. He blamed himself for a good amount of time, wishing he could have been there to prevent his son's death from happening. All he can do now is protect En and make sure he doesn't meet the same fate.
Allegretto has always been interested in the mysterious knight. There was something that smile of his was hiding, and he wanted to know everything. The prince spent most of his free time trying to convince Valence to spend time with him. Although rejected constantly, it never deterred him.
Valence also happened to be the last person Allegro spoke to before his death, telling him to watch over his younger brother for him.
[Related] Where Allegro had heard horrible rumors about his father, he heard nothing but praise about his mother, which he feels is well deserved. She's a very gifted fighter, and he always enjoyed his time sparring with her. She was the one who helped him get his baton/lance.
He isn't sure what it is about the knight he finds so endearing, but every time Allegro visits a neighboring kingdom he can't help but tease Trolly. His reactions are always amusing, though he wishes for once Trolly would give in.
Of all the princesses (and even princes) that Allegro met with over possible marriage, Cordelia stuck out to him. He enjoyed seeing her reactions to his teases. One thing that drew him in was that dark and terrible sadness that seemed to be a steady tone in her heartbeat. He would have wanted to learn more about its origins and find a way to make it vanish.
When Cordelia met Allegretto..well there were a lot of things she thought about him when they first met and none of them particularly good and at first she had just thought of him as a flirty womanizer however over time and more forced meetings and actually getting to know him her feelings for him began to morph into something more romantic in nature. Unfortunately, he died before she would ever get the chance to tell him her feelings and he died with her never knowing his true feelings and him never knowing hers. This is Cordelia's biggest regret.
Originally, Allegro enjoyed teasing the easily flustered (and angry) Quill. His reactions were adorable, but there was also a sadness in his heart that drew the prince. As they grew to know each other better, Allegro grew to care about him a great deal. He's well aware of the desire for revenge and world domination, and if Quill so desired it Allegro would be happy to assist him. Just as long as they can stay together side-by-side.
At first, Quill disliked Allegro greatly and tried to push him away, tried to get his nice 'facade' to break. But he stuck around, more patient and caring than anyone Quill ever came across. Over the time, he's gotten fond of him. Very fond in fact. Quill may or may not have gotten a little obsessed and is willing to show Allegro sides of him no one else can see. More affectionate and intimate sides, that is. And if Allegro would desire it, he might even reconsider overthrowing Eldamant. However, certain wounds are still fresh and open. Insecure as ever, Quill is overthinking everything he does, terrified that Allegro will leave him and will still lash out in hurt anger until he gets reassurance from the siren prince.
TL;DR: this mega simp in psychological distress loves his siren husbando more than his own life
[He is looking hungrily] Allegro had heard a lot about Valerion and was delighted to finally be able to meet him one day. It was everything he'd planned and more. Valerion was well-spoken and knowledgable over countless topics, making for delightful conversation; they had many similarities he felt comfortable discussing; and the best part, Valerion was quite attractive. Allegro visited very often, more so than he did with others, and he always enjoyed seeing the other prince wrestle with his feelings.
[(totally just) friends] While he was a bit unsure about Allegro in the beginning the other quickly became a dearly beloved friend to him. They are somewhat in the same boat, share similar views about monarchy and they even both have a younger brother roaming the world on his own (though one more voluntarily than the other, of course). It's nice to be able to talk to someone without having to keep up appearances or having to watch every single word and someone who understands, of course... to his own surprise he finds himself at peace whenever Allegro is around, something Valerion didn't even think would be possible, given how guarded he usually is. At some point he stopped questioning the other's sudden appearances and has come to embrace them, he would probably need a break anyway, right? The more confusing part is him getting flustered at certain comments and the need to be a bit.. closer. He might just have fallen for Allegro without noticing, even if he is still trying to rationalize it. (Which isn't going all too well...)
One day when Allegro wandered around he found himself in a charming cafe called Algernon, ran by an even more charming barista. He likes to come in regularly now and pull Haru aside to have tea with him. It helps that the owner makes such delightfully tasty drinks and snacks.
"His highness... He's different, isn't he? Litari's future looks bright under him as their next king."
Haru treats all guests of Algernon with the same warm pleasantries, but the smile he wears on his face to greet Allegro is always a bit brighter, a bit more sincere. The prince isn't like what he imagined the nobility or the upper class to be - if it wasn't for his getup, Haru wouldn't even be able to tell that Allegro is royalty. If he had to pick a favourite client, then the charming prince is definitely one of them.
Now how lucky of Allegro to have his life saved by someone so talented in music? He knows there's quite a lot more to Isolde than she lets on, but the same could be said for himself. No, he's not interested in the secrets. He only wants to spend time with her and make music together.
"... I don't believe in love, honestly. But for him.... perhaps I could make an exception."
Who'd knew that a chance encounter with the prince in a dark and filthy alley would turn into something more? Allegro isn't just someone whom Isolde highly regards in terms of his outstanding character and intelligence, but also someone that she could imagine settling down and starting a family with. She hadn't trusted and loved another person as much as him for a long time, and she hopes to spend an eternity of happiness and bliss by his side.
Whenever Allegro would visit the kingdom of Anthea-- or its democratic counterpart, Germany-- he would sometimes see the nervous knight, Morpho. How interesting he was, to be in such a stoic job yet have a fleeting heartbeat. Imagine the prince's surprise when he learned he was also a butterfly! He's definitely had some fun with the knight, but nothing more has come from it.
It was extremely nerve-wracking for Morpho when he first met the prince of Litari (or Italy, for non-magical species). Allegretto was always nice and helpful, sometimes... a little TOO so. Morpho can't help but be flustered anytime the prince passes by.
[Victim] Earle had magic incredible enough to mask his heartbeat... or was it that he never had one to begin with? One of Allegro's thoughts was the bittersweet feeling of realizing how reliant he'd been on that skill. The other was the overwhelming guilt he felt for En having to see him like this.
[Assassin] What convenient timing that Earle found the crown prince when he was busy. Killing him was almost too easy. Now all Litari needed was a push here and there and civil war would erupt. They'd need a leader to unite them. Who better than himself?
For the first time, it was all silent.
Allegro was not used to this, the afterlife. It admittedly scared him, and his calm demeanor crumbled slowly but surely. Thankfully, Haneul was there to help him through it. He's grateful to the reaper.
"... It never gets easier."
Allegro is the perfect example of life being cruel and unfair - condemned to die early by kismet and to kickstart Litari's fate into action. Haneul knew of the young prince's eventual demise long before the latter was even born, but it didn't make it any easier when he led Allegro towards the afterlife. He could only hope that the prince's next adventure would be a better one if samsara permits it - the prince deserves a happy ending, after all.
