    The soldier standing guard at the Prince’s Palace believed that, like every other night, this one would pass without incident, and that he would be replaced when the sun rose in the morning. When he was first assigned here, he had many worries, but since the emperor returned to the palace, he had never left his room, thus, there were no issues.

    In fact, it was rather boring. There were rumors that the emperor was becoming like the previous king, always dazed and staggering.

    Well, that meant things would stay easy for him. His main concern now was how to endure another long night. So, when he sensed someone behind him, he turned around without any alarm. He assumed it was his colleague who had gone to check on a faint noise inside the Prince’s Palace a little while ago.

    “What is it? Did the guy standing guard inside drop his spear while sleeping aga— Huh.”

    The soldier, talking to himself, could only gasp with his mouth wide open. The person who was approaching slowly wasn’t his colleague.

    It was the emperor.

    However, the reason why the soldier hesitated and stepped back was because of his clothes. His clothes were completely covered in blood. With each step he took closer, the smell of fresh blood, indicating it had been spilled just moments ago, filled the air.

    The soldier took a few steps back in a panic.

    Why was the emperor in such a state?

    Where on earth did all that blood come from… could it be?

    The soldier’s eyes widened in horror. There was no way the guards inside the palace would have let the emperor pass by covered in blood.

    Yet, here he was, walking alone without a sound. It was as if no one had been around there.

    The soldier took another deep breath. Karas leisurely walked past the path the soldier had opened for him as if he had just come out for a walk. The soldier, holding his breath, watched him pass by and then noticed a faint sound.

    Drip, drip, drip.

    The soldier lowered his gaze to the sword Karas was holding. From the tip of the sword, a thick liquid, too dark to discern its color, was dripping drop by drop.

    This time, the soldier couldn’t help but exhale in shock. Then, startled by his own noise, he took a step back again.

    Karas stopped walking and turned his head. The last time the soldier had seen Karas before, his eyes had seemed as vacant as the late king’s. Until just moments ago, they still seemed that way. But now, looking into those cloudy gray eyes felt like fingernails scraping against his spine, sending chills through him. He couldn’t even immediately understand Karas’ languid question at first.

    With the smell of blood hanging in the air, standing right in front of him, he asked if he could see him?

    The soldier, paralyzed by fear and confusion, could only gape like a fish. Before he knew it, he was barely able to support his trembling legs. When he didn’t respond, Karas turned not just his head but half his body. The soldier, instinctively drawing in another breath, shook his head without realizing it.

    “N-no, I don’t…”

    His trembling response didn’t come out properly. He was so terrified that he couldn’t even breathe, but soon he realized that this was the best thing he had ever done in his life. Before he knew it, Karas had disappeared into the darkness, leaving no one in front of him.

    Only the faint smell of blood, so subtle that it made him doubt if Karas had really been there, confirmed that the terror he had was real.

    Ashler couldn’t easily fall asleep, so he forced himself to close his eyes. Even with his eyes shut, his mind was in turmoil as he pondered how Abel should deal with the unpredictable Karas. Thus, when a soldier entered with an urgent knock, he was able to get up right away.

    “What’s the matter?”

    Seeing that the soldier was from the night watch at the Prince’s Palace, Ashler immediately grabbed his sword.

    At that moment, contrary to Ashler’s expectations, Abel was sleeping soundly. The three companions in the next room were also in a deep sleep, snoring so loudly it seemed the roof might come off. Abel, who was sleeping so deeply that he wouldn’t have noticed if fireballs were falling from the sky, woke up feeling a tickle on his face.

    However, he wanted to sleep more. So, when something tickled his face, he turned his head to the side.

    It was no use.

    This time, something gently brushed along his jaw and the side of his neck just below his ear. Feeling a slight shiver spread through him, Abel opened his sleepy eyes.

    In the darkness, a blurry figure came into view. It wasn’t the bug he had expected, so Abel blinked a few times, trying to clear his head. However, before his mind fully woke up, his mouth instinctively recognized the other person.

    “Prince?”

    Only the prince would give such a kind answer. Still half-asleep, Abel let out a small laugh.

    “Can’t sleep?”

    The dry, drowsy question lingered in the air, but this time, there was no immediate reply. Instead, there was a rustling sound, and then a heavy weight settled on top of Abel.

    Before he could comprehend it, Karas’ face had moved to a position directly above him, looking down at Abel. It was only after Karas propped himself up on the bed with one arm, raising just his upper body, that he gave a delayed response.

    He was about to ask as he tried to sit up, but it was only then that he realized Karas was holding him down. It wasn’t just a gentle pressure. When Abel tried to sit up, Karas pushed him down forcefully with his hand. The hand was pressing him down so hard that it hurt, and only then did Abel properly look up at Karas.

    It was in the middle of the night when the subordinate who had been lurking at the Marquis’ estate returned. Truyde, who had spent several days in the basement making the black potion, emerged into the world with a pale face.

    As soon as he came out, he seized the nearest small-framed, blond man. Even while panting on top of the man, he quickly ejaculat3d upon hearing the news of his subordinate’s return, and without any hesitation, got up. The man had been one of the most eye-catching among the potential Regas’ to send to the emperor, but now he was no longer needed.

    Truyde ordered a servant to deal with the collapsed man and then listened to his subordinate’s report in the living room. Considering that he had been interrupted at this time of night, it must have been important. He looked at his subordinate, whose face was sweaty from running all night, and asked.

    Could he have been acting while knowing about the pendant?

    No, if that were the case, the emperor would have been involved. If Melmond had known that the Marquis’s wooden pendant was the same as the emperor’s, he would have certainly told the emperor.

    Perhaps he still didn’t know the true usage of the wooden pendant. As Truyde was deep in thought, the rest of his subordinate’s report came through.

    Before his brain could weigh what was right and wrong by the command, his lips moved first. He had only parted them slightly when the force pushing against them turned into a searing heat that invaded his mouth. His breath, which had been blocked, froze under the oppressive weight pressing down on his chest.

    The inability to breathe was a problem, but so was his mind’s failure to fully register his situation. Thus, he didn’t notice Karas’ large hand sweeping through his hair or his knee squeezing itself between Abel’s legs.

    At first, it was just a one-sided kiss where Karas roughly pushed him and inserted his tongue. Abel’s mind was filled with nothing but confusion. However, as time passed, the sensation of their touching lips slowly penetrated his numbed head.

    Even in his dazed state, he began to slowly register Karas’ actions. The heat from their lips and the stimulation from their touching tongues started to melt the frozen insides of his mind. Like fine cracks forming in an icy lake on a warm day, his heart began to react.

    As Karas tilted his head and changed the position of his lips, Abel’s heart thudded loudly in his ears. As soon as he recognized that sound, Karas’ tongue brushed against the soft flesh inside his mouth, causing his heart to pound in quick succession.

    His heart seemed to be the starting point. As his chest trembled and excitement spread inside him with a slight heat, he found himself instinctively responding to Karas’ kiss. His previously still tongue tentatively touched Karas’ as it withdrew. For a moment, Karas’ movements seemed to stop, but he soon exhaled a rough breath and pushed harder.

    The sound of Karas’ breath reverberated inside Abel’s body, even though it wasn’t heard through his ears. Karas, appearing to have lost his composure, tangled his hand roughly into Abel’s hair. He twisted Abel’s head in the direction he wanted, this time letting out a more distinct moan from his throat.
