The Grand Duke spoke playfully. “That… actually makes sense. I read that in a novel. You know how when that one older bachelor uncle finally gets married, the whole family welcomes it without question?” “…Aeryl.” The Grand Duke gave him a wounded look. Aeryl realized his mistake too late, and ended up having to kiss him on the lips and spend some time soothing him. While they were doing that, they passed through the town and arrived at the outer quarters before they realized it. The…- 279.4 K • Completed
“…Yes “…Yes.” At the Empress’s command, Aeryl reflexively stepped forward, quickly walking past her to push open the iron gate. It had been left untouched for so long that the hinges groaned with a loud, metallic screech. As the gate creaked open, the Empress’s voice echoed faintly behind him. “I’m sorry I couldn’t love you properly.” Aeryl stepped outside and had just let go of the gate when he fully registered what she had said. “…What did you say?” He…- 279.4 K • Completed
Aeryl removed the device from his ear. He couldn’t listen any longer. Just as expected. The core of the plan had always been this—the Emperor would abandon Aeryl of his own accord. The Emperor had always seen Aeryl purely as a means for profit. And like any calculating merchant, when an asset became too costly to maintain and no longer offered returns, it was discarded. Aeryl had pretended to be pregnant to make himself seem less useful, and the Grand Duke had demanded an outrageous sum to…- 279.4 K • Completed
“What…? Then…” The Emperor trailed off, stunned. Until now, he had used Aeryl as bait to lure in suitors—promising hope, inciting rivalry, and reaping the benefits of their desperation. What mattered most to those suitors was that Aeryl was a noble, untouched omega. Once they laid eyes on Aeryl’s beauty, they fell head over heels and became easy prey for the Emperor—but that didn’t mean they’d accept a child that wasn’t theirs. “If they find out Aeryl isn’t pure,…- 279.4 K • Completed
Aeryl felt himself being carried by the attendants and laid back down on the same bed as before. In truth, he hadn’t fainted—he had merely pretended to, aiming to draw the Emperor’s attention to his health. The attendants removed all his accessories and outer robe. Then, taking hold of his arm, they fastened iron restraints on both wrists. Once they were done, they exited the room and locked it from the outside. Opening his eyes, Aeryl glanced at both arms. The manacles on his wrists…- 279.4 K • Completed
“It’s not… a proposal?” “Pardon? Why would His Grace the Grand Duke propose to him?” Viscount Karoki shot back, sounding utterly baffled. “But the knight said His Grace cherished and protected him greatly—” “Yes. He trusted and relied on him as his personal physician. He even thought of him as a lover. But that was before he discovered the lies!” Viscount Karoki stressed the word lies with particular disdain. “Precisely because he had cared so much, the betrayal…- 279.4 K • Completed
Aeryl bit his lip. The sight was so pitiful that the Grand Duke thrust faster while stroking Aeryl's penis up and down. Aeryl couldn't suppress a moan at the sudden increase in speed. "Ha, ah, ah, ha, ha." Aeryl’s moans were all swallowed by the Grand Duke's kisses. The sounds of flesh slapping together and the wet squelching alternated relentlessly. "Ah, uh, Hiel-, uh, huh!" Aeryl shook his head, trembling slightly. He was now reaching his limit. The Grand Duke continued without…- 279.4 K • Completed
“That’s right. Because we’re lovers.” At Aeryl’s reply, the Grand Duke smiled softly and ran his fingers through Aeryl’s hair. He’d imagined how the Grand Duke might react upon learning his true identity. Most of the time, he’d pictured a scene like the one they acted out in front of Dervan. But reality had turned out so very different. He had waited in silence, but had prepared for every possible outcome—such a thing was just like him. Aeryl’s chest swelled with…- 279.4 K • Completed
“…His Highness, the Prince.” “Do I look like your game, dragged in as prey? Hm?” “…Forgive me.” Though Dervan quickly lowered his tail, it wasn’t enough to satisfy Aeryl. “I see no sincerity in your words.” “I have been disrespectful. I sincerely apologize.” At last, Dervan dropped to his knees and bowed his head deeply. Aeryl had technically won, but the fact that the man bowed not to him but to his title as a prince only made the victory feel hollow. “Now…- 279.4 K • Completed
“Is that so? I told you all of my secrets. You know that. I trusted you and relied on you.” “……” “You were the only one I gave everything to. And yet you didn’t even tell me who you truly were.” Hiello’s voice was heavy with resentment, and Aeryl had no words in response. He could only bite his lip and tilt his head up to keep the tears from falling. “…I’m sorry.” “I don’t need it. I won’t accept your apology.” “Is that what you wanted to say, coming…- 279.4 K • Completed
