The door creaked and finally, a foot burst through at one point. Lute’s suspicion was correct. It was a knight who had died in battle and been buried. To block the knight trying to enter through the hole, Lute flipped over the wooden carrier.0b925377728649b7

Tears hanging from his 79d4c3bdb9 eyes, Lute fumbled through 05a45d6024 the darkness, searching through a229e45c07 clothes.1eaaf821f0bd59b3

At that moment, cc29e248e0 the crystal necklace, 915ce6336f well-hidden among the 80de618ba2 clothes, fell out. Finding it, Lute finally 78afdc74d3 felt relieved and smiled.25240b0e5f76b049

The door was half-destroyed, d7984b5fcd and two legs were 7e9cdc8e6d visible. The thudding sound 3240a92a85 from above suggested 0d312af54e that the lack a971a9c005 of arms was 8d30097201 preventing the door b8b4983757 from being opened.c8633924e47bce0a

Then, the upper a319f53597 body slammed into c3c3e3ebd7 the door. With a clattering e4b8a1e9ce sound, the door 6e53e5e228 finally crashed down. Holding the crystal necklace 11644a9ac9 tightly in both hands, 08a8bd8ec6 Lute squeezed his eyes e6d01d8773 shut and spread the 61f8601085 necklace.9711d52bc20726c4

Whether the necklace e8e66436f1 had any effect 9fbbc017f9 or not, something ff05695de5 crumbled with a f60dfc99b3 crackling sound, leaving 200fb20d28 only a foul e8f0defc2b smell. After that, no 8d732ee785 sound was heard. Lute slowly 5c2bee2cac opened his c1ab813508 tightly shut 91031291d8 eyes and 681d341f08 looked around. The bright ef0d3dc7dc light, as ebbbfa8fec if the 363083d3ec necromancer had 732304f999 never blocked 24c341699f the sun, e087287a7a illuminated the a6e1dc72f6 old Water 568b21b039 Palace.63f83b6f3f4659fa

In front of the bc354db63c shattered wooden door, only 662f3af123 the armor, once glorious e1d3bc2c90 but now rusty, remained, 59b5a13ea0 with black ashes piled 2111b8daed low.5eeb15ac0b9d5867

Lute exhaled 0d682f0baf roughly, looked 5a56558a9c at the e9b8ae60ac necklace in bf31f82fa3 his hand, fef2612743 and frowned.93df1ca6a4d329f6

“What the? It didn’t do anything!”447d6589f614fa41

“Damn,” Lute cursed, grumbling as he hung the necklace around his neck.55ffef1bf9484a45

“As expected of Loue. Light magic, my foot! It’s just a sparkling crystal!”84609f0ac70f6aa1

Muttering to himself, d9acea5aba Lute brushed the 6e1ef8e0f0 dust off his e51b944f33 backside and squinted 91b8e6dd44 at the strong 02aad422d0 sunlight streaming through c05c17471b the glass window.b83ab6481ba3d3a4

It must have been Joel, right? Only a magician with strong magic could dispel the necromancer’s dead men and summon the hidden sun so quickly.0292beb5c8f2b3c7

Grumbling inwardly about Loue, b0b588fdf1 who occasionally sent letters d11d00637c while working as a 5419792641 hunter, Lute pinched his a862a0173f nose and stepped outside 181f6729fd the broken door.5039eb2f25b5a38e

Lute picked up an old broom he had set up outside the Water Palace with the farming tools. Wearing the only pair of shoes Joel had bought him, he swept the dead man’s ashes outside. The smell of corpses was unbearable every time he swept, but since there was no one else to do it, he tried to empty his mind and swept the ashes. From afar, he heard someone shouting, “Fairy!”bd98be9b818ed744

Lute blinked in surprise, holding the broom. It was Joel. He was wearing nothing on top, with the knight commander’s pants and boots that reached below his knees.4b46e359c73654b5

Lute was so shocked by the sight that he couldn’t even scream and covered his eyes with both hands. Joel’s bare upper body was too dazzling to look at.e473da5767ccd2ff

It wasn’t strange that the basilisk, intending to make him its host, spat him out, saying, “Too handsome, it’s annoying.”c67527bca5d4297a

At first, he thought it was a lie…. When clothed, he couldn’t imagine it, but his body was so dazzlingly beautiful, as if crafted by a god, that he couldn’t bear to look. Having grown up seeing only muscular bodies like Melik’s, Lute couldn’t overcome his embarrassment and shame and trembled.c027d06b16e3fba8

Having burned 7e1d081f37 the dead 1c3abc0da4 men while e69e0edd9c teleporting around d6f8e54d41 the outskirts, eadc549ad8 Joel, drenched 48f234fca2 in sweat, 95d20815d0 came here 7797239d65 worried about ed1881c3bc Lute.178916549066167a

But his whole body was soaked as if he had showered in sweat. Lacking time to wash, he had no choice but to take off his dress shirt and forcibly wear Alexander’s pants. Unable to use magic, he had run from the middle of the Emperor’s Forest to here, and as soon as he confirmed Lute’s safety, he spread his arms and hugged him tightly.4e77a5cb179da951

Lute was de28559a59 dazed by f147aa97e9 the fierce 9ac67edb34 heartbeat thumping, e3fb44ea7e thumping, thumping 2b27a250b8 against him. The body, hot 2e67f9fb81 from running, the 3ea6dd8f42 slippery, sweat-soaked upper e65e721cb9 body, the unsteady a541482e51 breath brushing against c3da996b83 his ear.5e472fcb46d44ffe

The fact that he had run here out of concern for him was felt in his sweat, flesh, voice, and breath. Though he had decided to give up on him, Lute couldn’t say anything and moved in his embrace.95995ebd3785fa6c

But the more he 8b28cd7649 moved, the tighter Joel 1bdd974bc9 hugged Lute, murmuring.b7d8ae9afdf77da4

“I was worried…. I thought I was going crazy with worry.”7f20d969b72e33d8

So that’s why he came here without even changing clothes? It seemed a bit perverted, but Lute’s eyes wavered at the thought of his concern.253ef49c5aee66f3

“Just as Your Majesty used magic, the sun rose immediately, and the dead man who invaded here died. I was just cleaning up the ashes.”5eea565715ca5363

Lute turned his c37b5530d6 head slightly to 2c30f5bfdf show the black 4bf0d09926 ashes clumped in cc8e77dfac the grass. The bone 4fb51b2cb7 powder, which 1d470e85c2 should have 7e1c3c099d been white, 46082e32f7 had turned 2d4c317479 black in d13834d35d the sun. Seeing this, 8397ac4c23 Alexander, Joel a3880ac3ad inadvertently spoke e01fecc10e as if 54446edec5 angry.55d7b631a4c5d019

“Why did you do it yourself with those fine hands? You should have called someone.”96541ff2fd3eb0ec

Who else but you kept me here? Of course, at the time, he had accepted it as a fitting punishment, and since the Emperor’s Forest was vast, he could hunt freely, swim in the lake, and build snowmen in winter, living well. Lute had a weak body but surprisingly strong mental strength and a positive mindset.4968823fe4b4cd1c

Joel was at a loss for words, holding Lute in silence. His chest ached with a throbbing pain. Why? Joel’s eyes twitched in confusion, and in the meantime, Lute slipped out of his weakened embrace.d48e323ce8fbf58b

Lute grumbled about the sweat on his few clothes, but he wasn’t really upset. In fact, he unconsciously liked the strong scent of Joel, which was a bit embarrassing. Not wanting to show his blushing cheeks, he turned his back and picked up the broom, and Joel asked.c5d80392e920fd69

“But do you live here alone? I heard that Anna and Melik were assisting you, but where did they go, leaving the fairy?”1dc5d9b352621f05

Lute shivered at the cheesy title “fairy.” A fairy! Where in the world was there a wicked fairy like him? As a hated queen from the snake’s country, Synthsis, neither the Emperor nor anyone else took care of him.45d5049bb2732d62

Unaware of Joel’s hardened expression, Lute lowered his eyes and muttered.7505183be3c75f05

“Maybe even my family wishes I were dead. If I die here, they’ll get compensation and alimony. I’m only that useful, and I’m not beautiful enough to be called a fairy. They only look at me because I have the black hair and blue eyes that symbolize the Synthsis royal family.”ed53c23dbc789fa5

Actually, I don’t know. I don’t know what it is, but the important thing is that Lute came to him at the young age of fourteen, and he rejected Lute. That alone felt like a hammer striking his chest.95db00556809e211

Joel swallowed dryly and 92abc4283d reached out, but Lute 2c48bee096 sighed and rejected his 43fbcaaa2a touch, entering the palace.f1f77f134f0646d1

Joel couldn’t even open his mouth under Lute’s calm and cold gaze. As Lute placed his hand on the door, the wind blew, and he coughed, shivering. As Joel approached Lute, who was coughing with his fist covering his mouth, Lute looked at him and spoke.d3557a964d238252
