Summary
Nox Rainerio cruelly cast away the boy who loved him—Halid—in order to protect him.
But years later, that boy reappears before him, now grown, bearing the name Via and standing beside the Second Prince.
And in his hand… the severed head of the Crown Prince.
The Second Prince, now Emperor, rewards Halid Via—who brought him the head of the traitor once called the Crown Prince—by granting him Nox Rainerio as a gift.
“From today on, this is your duty.”
Releasing Nox’s throat, Halid straightens his back and unties his robe.
Nox exhales the breath he’d been holding and looks up at the man straddling him.
From his exposed shoulders down, Halid’s body is covered in scars—
A solid build, thick arms, and a firm waist… and then—
“……”
The boy who once loved him has grown into a man, and now, that man is aroused—
Over him, who has fallen so low as to become a slave.
Instinctively, Nox tries to wriggle away, pulling at the sheets beneath him.
But a strong hand presses down hard on his shoulder once more.
Nox stammers,
“No… this isn’t… this isn’t right…”
At those words, Halid releases his shoulder—
Only to grab a fistful of his hair and yank his head back.
“Urgh…!”
“What exactly isn’t right?”
His voice is low and whispering.
“This is why I brought you here.”
