Ok, I have to give my honest opinion.
I didn't really like the ending.
Sure, it was a sweet story and you had my best attention (your detail in the Jester shows were great!) and I liked your characters, but the ending seemed rushed and... just a little too short. I really had a different vision of how things would go. For one, I liked the Princess Hikari and the fact that King Tobias went mad and into a homicidal rage seemed a little weird. You had ok build up to that point, making him paranoid-but it seemed to come from nowhere to me.
I guess my problem is that this fic didn't have more sad moments, regrets, and just... It was a good soft read for BL fans that like a happy ending, but with such a delicate thing like a Jester and Prince in love and a psychic advising against their loves seemed to make the issue bigger than it turned out to be. I expected the Emperor to be pissed (I wonder how he faired having his beloved daughter die on her wedding day and what he did after) and have some reconciliation for him, maybe make a separate arc for the royal family members (or Cass and his lover).
My point is, I felt that the ending was TOO happy and not enough of a climactic ending for a tough choice of choosing love over duty and friendship. I just think it could have been a more satisfying end if they worked a little harder for it. Maybe it is just me.
Anyway, until the ending I truly loved your fic. It is a good soft story with great detail, all it really needs is more hurts/regrets/bad stuff to make the happy ending more meaningful (and to make the Epilogue make more sense, I doubt that some people would have been as supportive of Tetra and Asaire's wedding, both male not withstanding).
I look forward to reading your other fics.

Lovely story; I just read the whole thing in one sitting. The descriptions of Asaire's acts were delightfully entertaining and creative. I'm confused about one thing, though... At the end of chapter 23, it says that Oma found three bodies, but only two deaths are written about. I think. Did I miss something?

Wonderful story! And, such a unique plot, too. May I take your story's hand in marriage? 'Cause I certainly love it that much.
