No matter how long he stayed under the sun, his skin remained pale. Even if it turned slightly red for a moment, the worried butler would apply something to his skin, and by the next day, the redness would subside. What he could never get used to, even more than his white and soft skin, were his small hands.
In the past, he could grasp things with one hand, but with these hands, he couldn’t even hold half of them. It wasn’t just their small size, they were also much weaker. If he tried to grip something just a little tight, his hands would soon start to tremble. It wasn’t just his hands. His weak arms and legs couldn’t develop muscles well, and the fine hair that would always stick to his skin with the slightest sweat.

He thought he had grown used to it now, but every time he tried to do things as he did before and his body couldn’t keep up, he was reminded that he wasn’t his old self anymore. And then there was his heart. As he sat on the forest ground, where patches of blackened ground remained, Abel placed a hand over his heart.
Facing Karas and talking to him was no problem. Although a week had passed since Karas woke up, they didn’t spend much time together each day. Karas was busy reorganizing the country, and Abel wanted to restore the forest to its former state to present it as a gift to him.

Of course, it was a task that would take a very long time, and there was little Abel could actually do. However, the real reason he came to the forest as soon as the sun rose was different.
He also wanted to avoid Karas a little.

In fact, it was more accurate to say that he had been avoiding Karas since he woke up. Because of his d*mn heart. Abel sighed softly and looked up at the sky.
Perhaps it started with ‘I’m hungry.’

“I’m hungry.”
Not only had Karas finally woken up, but his first words were so ordinary that Abel’s joy was doubled. Abel smiled so widely that his eyes almost disappeared and shook his head vigorously.

Yes, yes, let’s go eat. Let’s eat something delicious until we’re both stuffed, prince.
He was so happy that he couldn’t even speak; only smiling silently. He grinned with his mouth wide open, oblivious to how foolish he looked. Tears gathered at the corners of his eyes from the overwhelming joy. While everyone else was worried, he had kept himself busy in the forest, assuring himself that the prince would be alright, but it seemed he hadn’t been as calm as he thought.

Without realizing that the tears were due to inevitable relief, he didn’t even notice himself sniffing as he laughed. Only one person noticed. His yellow eyes quietly observed him. The snake-like eyes, which appeared terrifying to others, watched him intently for a while before moving.
Karas sat up and reached behind Abel’s neck, who was half-crying and half-laughing. Abel only realized what was happening when he felt the searing heat against his lips. It was really scorching hot as if it would burn him. The lips, hot and soft enough to make him shiver, pressed against him gently.

The owner of the lips stayed still for a moment as if he were branding him. Fortunately, that moment gave Abel time to get used to the heat. However, while his lips adapted to the warmth, his mind, which was still dazed, couldn’t process anything. There wasn’t time for that either.
As Karas’ hand, which was supporting the back of his neck, exerted more force, Abel’s upper body was pulled swiftly toward Karas.

What just happened?
Without giving him a moment to gather his thoughts, something wet and hot slipped between Abel’s lips. The soft, moist intrusion was more scorching than the lips that had first touched him.

The moment Karas’ tongue invaded, a scorching heat spread through Abel’s mouth. It became difficult to breathe. The large hand that held his head controlled his movements, demanding he just accept. Every time the tongue that seemed to devour him left his mouth, Karas’ lips sucked his breath in.
The wet sound of their lips, glistening with saliva, filled the room whenever they momentarily separated. His lips, which would then change positions and rush in him again, now came with deep breaths carrying the urgency of his desire. His desperate breathing, which revealed his instincts, made Abel’s body shiver.

Flinch.
The tremor that started from his heart instantly spread throughout his body, causing goosebumps to rise.

Hah, haa.

Thump, thump, thump.
His heart pounded, echoing in his ears. Gripping the strong arms that supported him, Abel clung instinctively, unaware of the uncomfortable position he was in, hanging onto both Karas’ arms and shoulders. Otherwise, it felt like he would really be devoured. If he let go of him, he felt like he would collapse like a limp jelly.

The continuous trembling inside his body was unfamiliar, something he had never experienced before, thus, it brought fear along with it
What?

Huh?
With his own excited breath, the warning that had blossomed suddenly disappeared along with the departing lips. The kiss had ended before he realized it.

Karas came into view again, but Abel’s breathing didn’t calm down easily. Karas watched Abel’s wet and slightly parted lips with half-lowered eyes, then quickly raised his gaze. The moment their eyes met, Abel inhaled sharply.
Feeling embarrassed, as if his state had been exposed, a flush of heat rose to his face, and he tried to turn his head. However, the other person was still holding his neck and arms. Karas deliberately watched Abel’s state even more closely.

He examined the wet lips, the nose exhaling breaths, the trembling green eyes avoiding his gaze, the flushed skin glowing with heat, and even the fine hairs stuck on his delicate skin. Unable to bear it, Abel tried to move to escape again, but Karas tightened the strength in his hands and growled softly.
“No.”

It was only when Abel, with his eyes tightly shut and struggling to breathe, that Karas finally let go. And even then, it was with a somewhat dissatisfied look, as if sensing the lingering effect of the kiss had faded away because Abel closed his eyes. Then, he spoke again in a calm voice.
“I’m hungry.”

After these words, Abel realized the change in himself. There had been times before when Karas had kissed him. In the forest where he woke up after passing out, and in the middle of the night when Karas had pounced on him. Even then, his body had also reacted to the kiss. His heart had raced, and, unintentionally, his lower body had hardened a bit.
But this time, it was different. It was the same reaction, but the sensation was different. There was something tingling mixed with the trembling of his heart. Like the sharp sensation when you accidentally bump your elbow somewhere, and an odd pain that spreads up your arm. A tingling sensation that can only be felt in that exact moment. That kind of feeling spread throughout his body.

My goodness, what is this?!
It was so surprising and frightening that he wanted to scream. The reaction didn’t just end with his body trembling. He didn’t even know how he managed to endure the rest of the night with Karas. Though he still smiled stupidly, both his mind and heart were desperate for Karas to finish eating his meal so that all of it would be over and so he could be alone.

As soon as Karas had finished his meal, Abel quickly excused himself and left the place as if he had been waiting. Fortunately, the commanders, who had flocked to see Karas who had just awakened, had plenty to talk about, allowing him to escape that day. Only when he returned to his room and was alone did he slump to the floor, leaning against the door.
One thought filled his mind:

Thank goodness. It seems I wasn’t caught.
Abel buried his flushed face deep in his hands. Between his spread legs, his half-erect pen1s was visibly still strained against his pants. Even though he was alone, and no one could see him, Abel kept pulling down the long outer garment to cover himself.

If it was just his erection from being excited, he had already experienced that before. He had even ejaculated in Karas’ hand once. However, this time felt like even if he tried to relieve himself with his hands, the heat pooling in his lower body wouldn’t dissipate. The unbearable tingling, mixed with a thrilling sensation that made him squirm and lift his hips restlessly, felt entirely different, leaving him in confusion.
Oh my, what the hell is this?

Why am I like this?
Abel couldn’t lift his head as he kept mumbling ‘What should I do?’ throughout the entire night. And a week passed. Abel did his best to avoid Karas, so as not to be noticed. Whenever they met, he would purposely chatter away to prevent Karas from having any time to do anything.

No, it felt like if there was even a small chance, he would be in danger. The heat that had tormented him that night seemed ready to spread inside him whenever he let his guard down, making him fear that he might show an embarrassingly excited appearance in front of Karas. If that happened, it was certain that Karas would then stare at him intently again.
The problem was that just imagining Karas’ gaze made him even more aroused.

What was wrong with him? He wasn’t a pervert, but he felt pathetic and ashamed of himself. He wanted to bury himself in the ground. Well, he actually did dig into the ground. Now, lying down, Abel was surrounded by several holes he had dug around to plant small seedlings he had brought from outside.
He was just taking a short break, but he needed to tire himself out more. Otherwise, the lewd image of himself from that night would keep coming to mind.

Blink, blink.
Abel closed and opened his eyes, staring at the slowly moving clouds in the sky. As he blankly watched, tiredness overcame him. He had told Karas not to enter the forest, saying he wanted to surprise him, and it seemed like the right decision.

Though the forest still resembled a wasteland, he wanted to plant small trees like this in at least one place and show off to Karas their green leaves. After two weeks of hard work, transporting and planting the trees, it was starting to look somewhat better. Little did he know, this work would become his refuge. Remembering Melmond’s advice, Abel fell into a deep sleep from his exhaustion.
‘What? Your heart is racing? Then you need to take the young master’s medicine right away! Butler!’

The newly appointed nobles and war profiteers who had become ministers were noisily arguing in front of him once again, but Karas, sitting on the throne, was lost in his own thoughts, thinking of something else. Abel had avoided him again.
At first, he thought it might be a coincidence, but now he was certain. In the evenings, he would find himself entranced by Abel’s incessant chatter until Abel would suddenly collapse and fall asleep.

Only then did he come to his senses and shake Abel, but he was sleeping so soundly that he didn’t wake up.
It felt incredibly unfair. Why?

Despite the troublesome King’s Heart being gone and the ministers prattling on about the arrival of an era of peace, Karas’ irritation remained.
Each day brought a mountain of work that annoyed him, and Abel, who had forbidden him from entering the forest, was nowhere to be seen all day.

But what if Abel was avoiding him?
In order to confirm this unsettling feeling, he deliberately went to Abel before the sun rose today. Abel, who was getting ready and was just about to head to the forest, froze and looked shocked when he saw him.

He soon plastered a smile on his face but was clearly avoiding eye contact. Karas sensed something was off at that moment.
He was definitely hiding something.

Watching Abel closely, Karas offered to help carry his things to the forest. Of course, Abel waved both of his hands to decline.
‘Haha, th-thank you. I can handle this myself. I can even climb cliffs with my bare hands.’

Though he was facing Karas, Abel’s eyes were on the ground. When Karas stayed silent, Abel hesitantly glanced up after a long time. Their eyes met briefly before Abel abruptly turned his head with a loud shout.
‘Prince, I’ll be off now!’

With a loud voice that seemed to split into three parts, Abel grabbed his things from Karas’ hands and ran away as if he were fleeing.
Yes, fleeing.

Hearing the deafening noise in his ears, Karas turned his gaze to find one of the nobles who had been speaking earlier now crying and prostrating himself on the floor in front of him.
“Your Majesty, I will never bring this up again. Please, just spare my life!”

Wondering what this was all about, Karas looked around to see that everyone inside the hall was watching him with tense eyes. Whenever their eyes met him, they flinched. It was only then that Karas recalled the proposal to do something in order to boost public morale.
The noble who had suggested something was now crying a lot after hearing the word ‘dare’ as soon as he bravely expressed his opinion. He had vowed never to be the first to speak up again. Given that anyone who had even a little bit of connection to the King’s Heart had already been beheaded or was about to be, it was only natural that Karas’ single word was understandably a matter of life and death. Seeing that the noble couldn’t stop crying, Ashler cautiously stepped forward.
