Tenn POV
The minute I saw tears flowing down Riku's face I forgot myself at that moment and was about to lunge over the counter and comfort my brother but in the process accidentally knocked over a couple of cups that shattered to the ground.
''Brat what do you think you're doing?'' Gaku hissed in horror, ''Get back down here or we'll be caught.''
I felt Gaku grab my arm and pull me back down into a kneeling position like before but when I lifted my head I felt my heart skip a beat when red teary eyes gazed locked with my light pinkish ones.
Oh No...
As I watched the way Riku's eyes widened in shock, I internally scolded myself when I realized that I had blown our cover, but...for some reason, Riku's expression only seemed to turn guiltier instead of the sadness that filled his expression earlier but he didn't have time to think about that before he felt someone grab both his shoulders push him back down the counter.
''Tenn what do you think you were doing?'' Iori asked in a shouted whisper.
''Yeah Tenn, what the fuck?'' Gaku asked, still gripping onto my shoulder, which I shook off aggressively when his grip got tighter
''He saw me.'' I said in a flat tone, ''Before you guys pulled me down, our eyes connected for a brief moment.''
I could already sense the incoming scolding he was about to recieve from the group.
''Oh, Hell No!'' Yamato whispered through gritted teeth, making everyone turn to him in surprise.
End of POV
Iori sat up in order to see what had the friend in distress, and looked in the direction of where of where Riku was still crying, but this time with strangers arms wrapped around him from behind.
''Please forgive me...'' Eren said in desperate tone, causing Riku to stop crying which made everyone internally grateful that his cries had stopped, but also enraged that their precious friend was being held by a possible hooligan.
"W-What?" Riku asked, his tone sounding weary.
The others took note of this and leaned a bit more forward.
"I don't like the way this is going..." Nagi said.
Mitsuki turned to him,"What's wrong Nagi-kun?"
"This man...Is German,'' Nagi replied.
Tamaki gulped. ''What makes you think that?''
''Look,''He said, pointing towards Eren, ''That man's eyes are a light green and blue turquoise colour. Quite a unique eye colour, right?''
''It certainly is weird though. To have such a bright eye colour for to be shrowded by...Emptiness,'' Yamato stated, adjusting his glasses as he kept his gaze on the man holding their center.
''No, it isn't,'' Nagi replied, his voice now dropping an octave lower, ''...Back when I still lived in Northermea, my older brother took me to one of the annual clan meetings. There I met and was introduced to three major clan leaders besides my father."
"First, is the Reiss family, descendants of the first emperor."
Gaku froze, "Wait a minute. I've heard of that name before."
"Yeah me too," Ryo said, his gaze now set in a frown.
Tenn was quiet for a moment before he remembered something Kujo-san told him.
'It must be so hard. Being born out of wedlock and having to govern the whole of England who still don't respect her.'
"Nagi, are you talking about the royal family in London?"
He nodded firmly, "Yes."
Mitsuki looked at all his fellows idols with confusion, "I think I'm still out of the loop guys. Who is the Reiss family?"
Iori flicked his older brothers forehead. "Keep up Nii-san. We are talking about the Founding family of London."
"Oh..Oh-I remember now," Mitsuki whispered, the knowledge he had forgotten now being remembered. "We watched the coronation not long ago."
"Whose the ruler again?"
"Isn't the ruler Rod Reiss?" Tamaki asked but Iori shook his head.
"Nope, he stepped down two years ago. His eldest daughter Frieda Reiss inherited the throne after him and became queen."
Everyone murmured small sounds of agreement until Nagi spoke again.
"No, your wrong. Historia Reiss is the new queen of London."
Gaku frowned. "That can't be right Nagi. Frieda Reiss is-"
"Frieda Reiss was the Queen," Tenn cut in, ignoring the glare that Gaku passed his way and continued, "Some time after she was crowned Frieda went missing. Leaving the throne vacant without an heir."
Tamaki, who had been crouching on his toes for awhile, sat back with a soft groan and whispered, "But that doesn't make sense though. If she did go missing, how come Rod didn't make his eldest son, Urklyn become the king until they found her again-"
"It's because he went missing aswell. The entire family did." Tenn concluded, seeing how all the idols faces turned from serious to shocked, whilst Tamaki turned deathly pale.
"Missing?!What do you mean the whole family went missing-" He sputtered, Sogo trying to shush him so his frantic questions weren't loud enough for the duo outside to hear them.
"Am I right Nagi?" Tenn asked the blond haired idol who eyes held a solemn look.
"Yes. What you said is partially the truth of what happened but...You are wrong about one thing," Nagi lifted his head so he was looking at all his friends before saying-
"They never went missing...The entire Reiss family were murdered."
(That was the last straw before Tamaki fainted).
Everyone let the eerie silence wash over them before Ryo cleared his throat.
"How did they die?"
"...It's better if I don't tell you those gruesome details," Nagi replied.
"Wait a minute," Mistuki said, "How did Historia survive such a tragic event?"
"Well, she was never there to begin with," Nagi replied.
"Eh? I don't-"
"She was the King's secret child," Tenn said, sounding unsure himself before muttering, "I remember now. There was a whole scandal about it on the news."
"It still is. Historia's mother was one of the wife's most trusted servants and friend. She had been expelled from the castle once the maid herself told her of what transpired."Nagi said in a bitter tone, "Historia is fifteen and already has the weight of the crown on her head. Something no one that young should ever carry have to carry themselves."
TRIGGER may not have understood Nagi's frustration over the situation but Idolish7 did. They knew that Nagi had a different childhood than his older brother since his mother wasn't of nobility, being ordered to learn the ways of a butler than of a Prince. Hearing of Historia's situation triggered somethings from his childhood and cursed under his breath.
Mitsuki moved forward and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder, "Nagi...I-"
He leaned forward and laid his head on the peach haired boy's shoulder.
"It's okay Mitsuki...I'm fine-"
"That son of a-''
''-Bitch."
Almost everyone was startled by the sudden use of foul language and realised that it was both Iori and Tenn who were back to watching-
''Iori!Tenn!What's with the sudden language?'' Sogo scolded, but the only thing the two of them did was just gesture for them to come forward.
But when they did, they wished that they hadn't.
Eren had Riku in a warm embrace whilst the two of them kissed.
Mitsuki blinked once, then twice before shouting.
"WHAT THE HELL?!"
