“I know saying the wrong thing could get me charged with insulting the imperial family. But since no one’s listening anyway, I’ll just say it. Captain, do you trust His Majesty?” “…….” “Of course His Majesty is trustworthy. But in the matter you’re entangled in, do you truly believe he would act with impartiality?” Even you think the answer’s probably no, right? Kaelus remained silent. He wavered slightly, but that was all. Nitan immediately changed tactics. "He…- 171.8 K • Completed
The very next day after the birthday celebration ended, at dawn. The Denos delegation departed the imperial palace. With the agreement concluded, there was no reason to linger further. The emperor did not even offer polite encouragement to stay longer, and Valita likewise did not utter even a hollow “I wish I could stay longer, but it's a pity.” On the road to the port by carriage. Valita was lost in thought. The emperor's reaction had been more calm than he had…- 171.8 K • Completed
The second abyss was deeper and more despairing than the first. Like fallen dominoes, unstoppable memories flooded his mind. A man crying uncontrollably. All white. A being as sacred and lovely as a full moon. The past desire to hold him felt as vivid as the present. He had brutally restrained that man, that small, slender body floundering weakly. Though he couldn't know what had possessed him, Kaelus was certain of one thing. It wasn't creating something that didn't exist. It was something…- 171.8 K • Completed
The first thought that came to mind was 'white'. A white body. The man resembled a full moon hanging in a black night sky. He was so white it seemed sacred, unreal, and yet, he appeared fragile, as if the slightest touch might shatter him. And precisely because of that, he stirred humanity's darkest desires and sadistic impulses. The white body was already covered in red marks. If you bit it, the marks stayed. If you sucked it, the marks stayed. Teeth marks and suction marks…- 171.8 K • Completed
I am a frail little baby dragon. I am a frail little baby dragon. I am a frail little baby dragon...! I staggered, propping my forehead with my front paws. Wilted like blanched spinach. I even made my cries deliberately pitiful. Then, toward the Emperor whose expression looked strange, I sent fervent signals with my eyes. Please notice me! "...Well, being a youngling, his stamina is still quite weak. We should take him inside to rest." Nice! "Ah! Surely His Majesty Kremlis isn't... ill…- 171.8 K • Completed
Grab! He seized the back of my neck. I reflexively opened my eyes and met the gaze of the man who had lifted me off the ground. They were dark gray. Deep. They rippled. Exactly like the shadow of a flood. ……But unlike that atmospheric gaze, the man wore an expression as if he were looking at the strangest thing in the world. “…….” ‘…….’ It was an unwanted exchange of glances. “Captain? Is there a problem?” “No. It's not a problem. Let's talk up…- 171.8 K • Completed
The plan was executed. From the Second Prince's perspective, it was a perfect success. From Emperor Denos's perspective, it was a clumsy failure. Originally, they had agreed to kill him, but the Second Prince spared the duke. Upon hearing the news, Emperor Denos grabbed the back of his head. But he could do nothing against the Second Prince, who had voluntarily stepped down immediately after the plan's execution. He found some solace in the fact that the duke had been rendered completely…- 171.8 K • Completed
The tightly closed curtains opened. Light poured in. A dark night. Every window of the banquet hall glowed golden. Noblemen dressed as splendidly as peacocks, strolled gracefully beneath the dazzling chandeliers. The late emperor had grown too frail to hold a birthday celebration before his death, and after ascending the throne, Tortan drastically scaled it back under the pretext that the empire's stability came first. In other words, a proper birthday celebration hadn't been held in…- 171.8 K • Completed
I asked the thing I was most curious about first. "Oh, my dad's here." She pointed with both hands at a handsome, tall young man. ……Huh? Who? The man rubbed the back of his neck. His face was expressionless, but his earlobes were slightly red. I was so startled I slipped off Rotol's shoulder. I splattered onto the floor like a half-baked pancake. Startled, Rotol scrambled to pick me up. "Are you alright?!" Rotol looked at Mirim. "He’s broken?" Fortunately, I…- 171.8 K • Completed
Valita smiled, his eyes twinkling. He accepted the end. ‘It is a pity.’ His regrets were ordinary and mundane. His regrets were ordinary and worldly. He regretted not enjoying alcohol more. He regretted holding back on sex. He avoided anything that might harm his body. ……He did not continue to learn the sword. Suddenly, his left leg throbbed. Valita's smile deepened. The statue, which had been falling as if frozen in time, was now right before his eyes. His thoughts expanded…- 171.8 K • Completed
