REFDL 120

The other hand supporting his waist almost lifted him as it carried him.

Their destination was a spot even darker than the village itself, shrouded in darkness – a small gap between houses.

“Ngh!”

Kaelus’s arms wrapped around him like a tiger’s forepaws. His neck was pulled, and his lips were swallowed up.

Their chests, their entire bodies fit together seamlessly.

Kaelus’s tongue burrowed inside. It licked his mucous membranes, carrying away the lingering scent of fruit. Unswallowed saliva trickled down the corners of Yuram’s mouth and his chin.

He devoured him.

He acted like someone who wanted to swallow him whole, from head to toe. His slippery hands slipped beneath his clothes.

The buttons on his thin shirt and pants that naturally appeared whenever he transformed into a human flew off in all directions.

“Haa. Hah. Uh-hmm.”

Both of Kaelus’s hands cupped his breasts and squeezed them. His lips moved downward, sucking on his protruding nipples.

A tingling sensation spread from his nipples, which were being rubbed and smothered by Kaelus’s tongue and teeth.

It was different from the stimulation in his lower body, yet connected to it, a sensation he couldn’t ignore, but one that wouldn’t reach a climax.

Yuram was growing impatient.

Suddenly, his throat went dry.

“Huh, Kael… Kaelus. Uh-hmm. This is weird. It feels weird. Stop there… stop with my nipples. Ugh. Don’t… don’t bite me.”

“……”

“Ahh. My chest… stop. Stop squeezing them. It hurts and feels weird. Ngh!”

“How many times have we done this already? You always say it feels weird. Or is that just something you say out of habit?”

“What…?”

“Do you say it feels weird when you’re actually enjoying it?”

“Ahh. Uh-huh. No. No, I’m not.”

“What do you mean ‘no’? Just be honest and say you’re enjoying it. That sounds better to me.”

Is that… is that right?

It’s not weird, it’s good?

……Yeah. It does feel weird, but… by the end, I feel good anyway.

Yuram nodded blankly.

And he did as he asked.

“………It feels good. Kael.”

“…….”

“…It feels good.”

“…….”

“Doing this with you… feels good. It feels so good. Mmh! Hah. So, I mean…….”

Stop this fiddling around and do it properly.

Yuram stuck out his tongue and licked Kaelus’s lips. His mouth opened naturally, but Yuram didn’t invade inside. Instead, he chuckled teasingly and pecked at the corners of his mouth.

Instead, he opened himself up.

Yuram thrust his finger into the spot that was already twitching with anticipation. Kaelus’s gaze seemed to linger on his wrist as it slipped through the loose fabric of his pants.

“Put it in.”

Hurry up.

He didn’t just beg with words; Yuram rubbed his lower body against his to express it physically as well. The bulge, clearly visible even through his clothes, twitched.

“Damn it. You…”

Kaelus grabbed his underwear and pants in one hand and pulled them down.

Yuram’s already slick, wet cock was freed. The tip glistened even in the darkness.

“Haa. Haa.”

Without knowing whose they were, excited breaths poured onto each other’s chests. Kaelus dropped to his knees without hesitation.

A thought suddenly crossed his mind.

‘I don’t think I’ve ever knelt in front of the Emperor more than a few times. Or maybe not even once at all?’

His daydream didn’t last long.

Kaelus opened his mouth. Then, he took Yuram’s red penis, which filled his entire field of vision, into his mouth. He greedily shoved it all the way down his throat.

“Haaah!”

“…Ngh.”

His previously impassive expression contorted.

His neck flushed red with pain and excitement.

It felt like he was about to climax from the visual stimulation alone. The stimulation had surpassed the tipping point.

Yuram’s hole grew wet.

The liquid that had been trickling out now overflowed. Reflexively, he lifted his hips slightly. Kaelus choked but didn’t pull his head back.

Instead, he closed his eyes and shoved Yuram’s cock even deeper into the back of his throat.

Greed far surpassing the pain. Burning eyes looked up at him from below.

It was lewd.

A man who looked like he’d snap rather than bend, or perhaps wouldn’t break at all, was kneeling before him.

To take his cock into his mouth.

‘……!’

His tongue respectfully cradled the shaft.

Fighting back the urge to gag, he sucked greedily.

His throat gulped as if he were eating something precious and delicious.

……Yuram had no way to hold back.

“Haa. Haa. Ugh…… Ah. Aah!”

The urge to come took hold of him before he knew it. He desperately pushed Kaelus’s head away, but the man didn’t budge an inch.

It was too late.

“Ngh!”

Ugh. Mmm!

His footing slipped. Yuram staggered forward, but Kaelus caught his body effortlessly.

His hips bent on their own, his head buried against Kaelus’s his back, and he poured every last drop of semen into his throat.

Kaelus happily drank it all in.

To be precise, he greedily drank it all in. As if it would be a waste to miss even a single drop, he licked the shaft up and down.

‘……I’m going to die.’

Ah.

‘Why is it so dizzying…….’

Thud.

“……?”

Yuram could sense Kaelus’s confusion.

But it was only momentary. His consciousness flickered and went dark.

Everything went black.

***

The man stopped moving.

He had only ever felt this kind of foreboding in Anax or the moment a new rift opened.

Kaelus doubted his own eyes. He gently lifted the small body collapsed on top of him and cradled it. His lover, who had been panting, didn’t move a muscle.

……You’re kidding, right?

His face, flushed with desire, turned pale in an instant.

“Yuram?”

No answer.

“Yuram. Yuram!”

Still.

No answer.

“……!”

Shake, shake.

Swoosh.

Despite his desperate efforts, there was no sign of waking.

Was this how a dog felt after happily carrying a bone with plenty of meat on it, only to drop it into a canal?

The word “tragic” alone couldn’t fully express his current state of mind.

“…….”

Kaelus stared at the wall for a while.

……His cock was already as hard as it could get.

It twitched intermittently, as if it were about to burst through his pants.

Crunch.

Kaelus gritted his teeth and summoned every ounce of patience from his past life, before picking up the limp Yuram.

***

I lifted both front paws.

My legs, thick and sturdy, yet slender compared to the rest of the body, trembled.

Kyu~

Kyuuu.

I played the part of the pitiful creature to the fullest. I softened my gaze and let out a whimpering sound, but Kaelus didn’t spare me a single glance.

He silently roamed the village and quickly took care of his duties.

He received reports from the knights, confirmed that there were no changes in the Sea of Trees side bordering Denos, and even compiled and documented the village’s various minor complaints.

Kyuuu.

Kyuu.

“Oh, how pitiful…”

“Is it because he’s a duke, or is it that someone like that becomes a duke? He’s truly cold-hearted. To not even bat an eye after seeing someone so heartbroken.”

“Shh! What if he hears you saying that…?”

“……”

The villagers came over secretly and patted me on the back. Kaelus frowned briefly but didn’t stop them.

However, every time a rough, calloused hand touched me, he glanced this way.

Thanks to that, the commotion ended quickly.

He tucked the documents into his coat and approached me. The villagers scattered in all directions.

“No more drinking from now on.”

[Uh… Not even one drink?]

“……”

[Alright……]

Maybe it was because it had been so long since I’d had a drink, but it tasted good, so I was thinking of having another.

Looks like that won’t be possible for a while.

Well, I guess there’s nothing I can do about it.

I’ll just have to be satisfied that Kaelus’s anger subsided faster than I expected.

Though I still don’t know why he was so angry.

I had no memory of yesterday’s events, and since he wouldn’t tell me exactly what trouble I’d gotten into, there was no way for me to know.

***

I gathered the items Derick had asked me to bring and returned to the capital.

I had said I was just bringing them along since I was heading there.

Even though I told him it was no big deal, he was unusually fidgety and apologetic, and as expected, the items were all humble. They were things like a wooden ladle, a plate he used to eat from, and some clothes he used to wear.

When Derick received the items I’d been asked to bring, he acted as if he were about to drop to his knees. It actually made me feel guilty, since I’d just done without a second thought.

Derick glanced at Kaelus and asked if we’d like to stay for a cup of tea.

Behind him, his face ashen, young faces full of anticipation peeked out from the stairs. It was Rotol and Mirim.

[Of course I’d love to… mmph!]

“Unfortunately, we have plans starting now. Let’s have tea another time.”

“Ah… yes. Understood. Please take care.”

Rotol and Mirim looked dejected.

Kaelus wrapped one arm around me and held out a letter with his other hand.
