“You kissed me, didn’t you.” “A k-kiss is just a kiss. Sex is different.” “How is it different?” “The kiss was… like an accident. But sex… Anyway, I’m not doing it. Never.” “Bit too passionate for something accidental, don’t you think?” Sharhan stammered, trying to come up with an excuse, recalling how he’d pounced first, using his pain as an excuse just a few hours ago. “T-that was…” But no matter how hard he racked his brain, no decent excuse…- 264.3 K • Completed
- “What the fuck, is that really something to say right now?!” He was in so much pain he thought he might die, and this lunatic was spouting nonsense again? “You’re in a lot of pain, aren’t you? If you focus your mind on something else, it’ll hurt less.” It sounded plausible at first – but why, of all things, did it have to be a kiss? Sharhan looked up at Lestel, full of disbelief. He thought he was being teased, but Lestel looked completely serious. “You forget pain through…

- Sharhan jerked his head up. Lestel’s profile came into view as he stared outside. “Lestel, just now…” “I can’t be sure it was Thunder and Lightning, but it was definitely a horse’s neigh.” The two of them locked eyes for a moment, then rushed outside at the same time. The snow-covered world was as silent as ever, and not a single living creature was in sight. ‘Did I hear wrong?’ Sharhan inhaled the cold air, disappointed. Hiiing! Another neigh rang out, and soon,…

- “What?” “Worry about your own body. With a face that looks half-dead, who exactly are you thinking of going out to find? You’re so worn out, you’d collapse after just a few steps. Are you in your right mind?” Lestel sneered as he checked the wounds on Sharhan’s side and thigh. He wasn’t wrong. The clearer Sharhan’s mind became, the more acutely he felt the miserable state of his body. A foul odor was already seeping from the festering wound, and chills ran through him again. His…

- “No matter how I look at it, you’re not acting normal…” Lestel’s eyes had completely lost focus. Sharhan’s mind went blank along with him. A strange rush of euphoria washed over him, tightening his lower belly. “Your temperature’s normal.” Lestel said this as he bumped his forehead lightly against Sharhan’s. “Of course it’s normal?” “Don’t be so sure. Your fever kept going up and down for days. And today you were in such bad shape I thought you might die without…

- Even though his consciousness hadn’t fully returned, Sharhan sensed something was off. Slowly, he opened his eyes. But his vision was blurry, and his mind felt foggy. It was as if all five senses had shut down. He blinked a few times, waiting for sensation to return. The first to come back was touch. ‘W-wait a second… is someone holding me right now?’ And that someone was undoubtedly Lestel. It was ridiculous, but it felt familiar. The embrace was unmistakably his. Most shocking of all,…

- It was a relief that Sharhan was unconscious at this moment. ‘Lestel, you crazy bastard. Why are you trembling? It’s not even a kiss, you’re just giving him water.’ Even if it was a kiss, it wouldn’t be any different. After doing it hundreds, thousands of times in his imagination, he’d gotten nervous and messed up the moment Sharhan’s lips came close. It was humiliating. ‘But still, how could I not tremble with Shan’s lips, the ones I’ve always craved, right in front of…

- “You’re insane…” “You should’ve checked the contract properly. You can’t just stamp it without reading, especially not a magic contract.” “……” “Honey, protect me with your body and soul, alright? If you do a good job, maybe – just maybe – I’ll be so moved I’ll tear this up for you.” Lestel waved the untouched copy of the contract. Simon must’ve slipped it to him earlier. As long as that parchment existed, Sharhan was bound by the contract to guard Lestel.…

- Chapter 4: The Old Site “…Hah.” Lestel let out a hollow laugh as he watched Derry run off like a rabbit escaping a hunter. He didn’t know what to make of him, just saying, “I’ll go,” before bolting without another word of explanation. Judging by how Derry had genuinely worried over Sharhan and only drank the bare minimum needed to survive, it couldn’t have been an attempt to run off alone. The water was made with his own ability, so he could’ve hoarded it if he’d wanted…

- “I can’t take it anymore.” Gibson, his lips dried and pale, muttered with difficulty. The villagers from Gagos, lying weakly beside him, managed to lift their heads, looking at him as if to ask what he meant. Gibson glanced at Lestel, who lay motionless with his eyes shut, perhaps finally asleep from exhaustion, then whispered quietly. “Let’s kill them and secure the mage for ourselves.” “You think that’s possible? That silver-haired guy has a sword!” “He’s weakened.…
