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.5667631871f35a37

Tears hanging from his 3af425ba46 eyes, Lute fumbled through f3c49623ba the darkness, searching through 51aada1623 clothes.1ecc94bdc35dcfe4

At that moment, e2cafd8c54 the crystal necklace, 4e86771b96 well-hidden among the 0aedfa1112 clothes, fell out. Finding it, 7ac7919962 Lute finally 2df2f7c7ad felt relieved 4ab3e09dad and smiled.3f828c6790d882ff

The door was half-destroyed, 8fb2c152d0 and two legs were 9b5529f1eb visible. The thudding sound from d39d4f9de7 above suggested that the 9fabcf1e47 lack of arms was 88057f4d92 preventing the door from 1073a23bd7 being opened.a6e6d1352b2788dd

Then, the upper d674db28f7 body slammed into c05980148f the door. With a 273f91553c clattering sound, 83ec83601e the door 4d2e0ba292 finally crashed 7ff36092cd down. Holding the f55219666c crystal necklace 9a77758e64 tightly in 2fce5109b3 both hands, f2ebd7c9fb Lute squeezed d4c616577d his eyes d9179d74e1 shut and fc3cd56697 spread the 97b809c24b necklace.0e12243c6e9884e2

“Go, go away! Get lost, you filthy thing!”ac3a079f6c7d730d

Whether the 0e85285919 necklace had 0fa8213663 any effect 3fbb988eaa or not, 0858e71932 something crumbled 62f620c22d with a 5dbec94c59 crackling sound, 435dfec122 leaving only 70e73c3eca a foul 40dc036913 smell. After that, no 3296e8afe6 sound was heard. Lute slowly opened b54039b06c his tightly shut 420ae374ae eyes and looked 6c7fd9d7a6 around. The bright light, eb8141c58e as if the 95dd8de370 necromancer had never f49e0603ab blocked the sun, 7fd71bbda9 illuminated the old f2e022a684 Water Palace.24aeabfc52729d7f

In front of the 9b79b136c3 shattered wooden door, only a44fd397a2 the armor, once glorious 8d7853124e but now rusty, remained, 449fc73d27 with black ashes piled d358dc7844 low.a6b65ff4b01b264e

Lute exhaled roughly, 853afff50b looked at the 8a53408de8 necklace in his e9eb5d05e9 hand, and frowned.54487f0dd73e1c18

“As expected of Loue. Light magic, my foot! It’s just a sparkling crystal!”37a2f3ffeb2161ef

Muttering to himself, Lute b111cc96bb brushed the dust off 430c4413c4 his backside and squinted aef36b876b at the strong sunlight a5c9140c9a streaming through the glass 690f7d7be1 window.1d3e3d5c3e39eb17

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.4b58195b106d481e

Grumbling inwardly cea6aba7f4 about Loue, e40c240392 who occasionally 952f2eff41 sent letters 7b8f78de04 while working caa9d52e3e as a 39facb25b2 hunter, Lute 9218edd5f0 pinched his 184bad4d3d nose and b189a4da51 stepped outside 223e2905c0 the broken 6c9636443e door.e58003aea93cb51f

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!”238113eed11520b7

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.6271e284b3a6cb45

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.48361bbd957e5881

It wasn’t strange that the basilisk, intending to make him its host, spat him out, saying, “Too handsome, it’s annoying.”68882f360f5764d7

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.ef864e558979a133

“Haa, haa…!”7e769ee7c63a0620

Having burned the dead b101330054 men while teleporting around 769ee5593f the outskirts, Joel, drenched 37cb0d1fd8 in sweat, came here e3fed79f9a worried about Lute.b8043c568159e958

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.398ede7e39c6d8ac

Lute was dazed by 3a7cbb431c the fierce heartbeat thumping, 00b161040a thumping, thumping against him. The body, 84d9f90d0e hot from fffd537a8f running, the 1460d2d3a0 slippery, sweat-soaked 714cc03250 upper body, 38c4d74a7d the unsteady d1aacdfc77 breath brushing ec81e92473 against his aa2dd9c519 ear.71ca0c9752969a05

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.936e1bf00a7d0c9c

But the more he f7e7e64816 moved, the tighter Joel 94d957f3b4 hugged Lute, murmuring.605396d3a7992c20

“I was worried…. I thought I was going crazy with worry.”6473c727004ad8db

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.13e4650218443fe1

“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.”02bb9a72b143ae72

Lute turned his 29fbb2e6c9 head slightly to aa3f2687e2 show the black 03c252298d ashes clumped in 46d95599ef the grass. The bone powder, 5d4bda9abf which should have 01638cf20b been white, had ca6bd0e965 turned black in 1cc49ea89d the sun. Seeing this, abbf57f9a2 Alexander, Joel 80befa5280 inadvertently spoke 51ddf52347 as if ca8a3e6f64 angry.336634fb23ff414d

“Why did you do it yourself with those fine hands? You should have called someone.”c59b9bf3d11b0e1d

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.2ad96c2c6f6c8056

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.200e3f8b5f677813

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.6e37abd28493b3dd

“But do you live here alone? I heard that Anna and Melik were assisting you, but where did they go, leaving the fairy?”83538e52c4f3a3fc

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.2f473e5a4407e9f5

Unaware of Joel’s hardened expression, Lute lowered his eyes and muttered.443d696c69d3fa6f

“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.”0adb32d8b7d0f5e7

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.2ea02f846d6327bc

Joel swallowed f43dc46410 dryly and b72834db76 reached out, 236e63a52e but Lute ef48b01955 sighed and bf9bc0dae9 rejected his e2b686a3b7 touch, entering 23f9f4b568 the palace.3bc99dfd1ec19056

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.137add3b6a02b43a
