“Radan!”
Leshak quickly caught Radan and wrapped his arms around him. Karum, who immediately followed, picked up a knife and cut the snake in half.
Scream!–
The snake cried out with a strange sound. The snake was cut in half and did not immediately die, instead it latched on to Leshak’s forearm.
“Majesty!”
Karum grabbed the snake with his bare hands and pulled it off Leshak’s arm. He immediately threw it into the creek. There the snake’s body was swallowed up by the water where it was thrown.
“Are you okay? Oh, you’re hurt….. !”
Blood was splattered on Leshak’s wet shirt. Karum rolled up Leshak’s sleeve. There was blood dripping from the two tiny puncture marks.
“The wound isn’t bad, but I’m worried that it might be poisonous.”
Then Karum slapped his forehead.
“I didn’t mean to throw the snakes away like that!”
“It’s okay. If it’s the poisonous variety, we’ll soon find out.”
Radan’s face was pale as he groped for Leshak.
“Ma, Majesty……? Are you… hur, hurt……?”
“There’s nothing for you to worry about. Let’s look at your hands.”
Leshak grabbed Radan’s hand and lifted it up. Fortunately, there were no wounds on his dry, white hands. Foolishtranslationss.wordpress.com
“You’re okay.”
Karum was restless and shifted his feet.
“My lord, you’ll have to go back immediately. Snake venom can behave differently…….”
Leshak asked Radan.
“Is it okay if we go back? Would you like to stay here longer.”
Radan shook his head rapidly.
“Oh, no…… no! It’s okay to go back…… n, no……I want to go back! Come on, let’s go!”
Leshak suddenly burst into loud laughter at his reaction.
“… …?”
“Majesty?”
The laughter stopped after a while. Leshak pulled Radan and buried his lips on the top of his small head.
“It won’t be long now”
“… …?”
“M, My Lord?”
The same reaction as before, followed. It was hard to understand the context of the statement as well as a sudden burst of laughter.
“I’ll let it go for now, but don’t make me wait too long.”
“Wh…… What do you mean…….”
“I’m talking about how long it will take you to accept me.”
Leshak lifted Radan with a light motion and faced him in the right direction.
“Let’s go back.”
“…… Yes, my Lord.”
‘It’s a good thing I’m wearing a blindfold,’ thought Radan. If it wasn’t for that, Leshak would surely have seen the guilt in his eyes.
I can’t kill him, thought Radan with all his might. I won’t kill this man. The conflict was over. Now all that was left was the choice…how and when he would return?

“Wait a minute.”
The thought of Leshak’s injury made Karum speed up his steps, as one man sped up, the others naturally had to keep pace with him. It was then that Leshak made Radan stop.
“…… Yes, Your Majesty?” Said Radan, lifting his head, searching around.
Leshak lowered himself and grabbed Radan’s ankle.
“Ma, Majesty!” Leshak clicked his tongue softly.
“…… Somehow, your steps seemed strange.”
His feet were swollen. Radan, who was blindfolded, walked much slower than the other two, and they were unaware of the strain that walking so quickly had put on his feet. Leshak had noticed that Radan had been dragging his feet.
“Yes, …… Yes?”
“You must have walked for too long. I didn’t realize.”
“Ah……. it’s, it’s fine…… ”
Karum, who had been about ten steps ahead of them, came back. He also had an expression that said he also didn’t realize it either.
“I didn’t know either.”
“He can’t keep walking.”
“Then I’ll carry him, my lord.”
Karum leaned toward Radan to offer him his wide back. Radan stood still, he didn’t know what was going on. Leshak shook his head on Radan’s behalf.
“No, don’t even think about touching him.”
“What? No, my Lord, isn’t your arm hurt? Leave this to me.”
“My arm is fine. From what I can tell, it looks like it was just a non-venomous water snake. Radan…”
“Yes, Your Majesty.”
The moment he answered, he felt his body being pulled.
“Uh, aah!”
Radan was so startled that he grabbed what he could within reach, it turned out to be Leshak’s hair.
“Uh, uh!”
Leshak held Radan with one arm, took off his shoe with his opposite hand, and handed the shoe to Karum.
“Listen to me.”
“Majesty! Please, your arm is hurt. Just leave this to me.”
“No, it’s fine. He’s so light that it’s worrisome. You need more meat on you……. So you’ll have to eat more snake meat.”
“That…… later, we’ll see.”
Karum turned around with his shoes in his hand. Leshak lifted up Radan, who was unable to do anything, and was struggling in Leshak’s arms.
“Relax, you’ll fall if you do that.”
“It’s alright……. You don’t have to do this, your Majesty.”
“It doesn’t matter what you say, Radan. I will do whatever I want. If you don’t want to fall, wrap your arms around my neck.”
“No, I’m heavy……your arm is also hurt.”
“Like I said, you’re not heavy at all.”
Radan felt terrible. Even though it was small, it was still the body of a 19-year-old man. However, he was ridiculously light for his size. It felt like there was a deficiency of weight when he was held in Leshak’s arms.
His father had dementia and his brother needed help, so they drove the blind Radan into prostitution in order to support them. And Radan, who was earning the money, was neither properly fed nor cared for! Foolishtranslationss.wordpress.com
Nevertheless, Radan still rejected his offer to become an imperial citizen and insisted on returning to his family. The worst part of it was that people like that, like his family, still had Radan’s affection!
‘Damn it!’ Thought Leshak, ‘Pour that love on me!’
Leshak licked his lips. He said he was carrying Radan even though his arm was injured because he feared that bear Karum would make him uncomfortable while carrying him. But in all actually, his arm didn’t hurt that much, it didn’t seem like there was any poison. But yet he……,
“…….”
He stopped complaining to himself.
Radan was gently wrapping his arms around him just as he had told him to. His body was pressed tightly against him, and he could feel his temperature where they touched. Radan relaxed his stiff body, and fully leaned on him. Radan’s cheek touched his ear.
‘……Damn it. I didn’t mean to hug you with this in mind. But still it’s… Damn, it’s so good. Really, so good.’
“Radan.”
The voice calling Radan became softer, softer and more seductive.
“Shouldn’t you thank me?”
”…… Yes, my lord. Thank you.”
“You can pay me back. You know what I want.”
“Ah…….”
“Quickly.”
It was a kiss.
Radan then carefully pulled himself away from his arms and traced his face with his hand to find the position of his lips.
“… …”
But instead of Radan kissing him, he rested his hand on his face.
“Radan?”
Leshak, who had been waiting, pressed him to continue. Radan came to his senses and lifted his hand.
“Oh, your…… Majesty.”
“Why are you stopping?”
“It’s…….”
“It’s?”
Something mysterious spread over Radan’s half-covered face.
“It’s different.”
“What’s different?”
“It’s something new……nose, chin…..teeth, lips……”
Leshak suddenly wondered how Radan recognizes objects?
“Have you replaced your eyes with your hands?”
Leshak said as he walked slowly.
“… …”
For some reason, Radan didn’t answer.
“You can touch it however you want. Touch me until you get used to my appearance.”
”…… Okay, thank you. Majesty.”
Radan’s fingers crawled over his face. He touched Leshak’s face as though he were diligently exploring. A straight forehead, well-shaped eyebrows, as well as the eyelids, and eyes below it. He brushed his abundant eyelashes slowly and for a long time, as though he was counting the number of hairs one by one. He touched his nose, which had a high bridge that glided graceful, smooth firm skin, and flawless lip lines. He stored those memories in his fingertips.
“Fa, fascinating.”
Radan said as he finally took his hands off Leshak’s face.
“What is?”
“You, your face…… is s, sy, symmetrical…… It’s v, very straight and even……”
“Is that so?”
Radan sighed, then muttered.
“I want to see you…… once. Ah……
Radan swallowed back the rest of his words, thinking he had said something he shouldn’t have. Leshak didn’t try to force him to say the words that he swallowed.
“Have your eyes been like this since birth?”
“Yes……. Majesty.”
“Then it can’t be fixed? So, did the doctor who looked at you say that?”
“It can’t be fi…xed. They said no one couldt fix it.”
“Really?”
Leshak pressed Radan into his arms without rushing for a kiss, as his hand gently stroked Radan’s back.
“I’m very sorry to hear that. I wish you could see my face.”
“…… Yes. Yes, my lord.”
“Then you would fall for me too. I hear everywhere that I am handsome.”
The motion of Radan’s eyelids rustling under the blindfold was transmitted to Leshak’s cheeks. Radan blinked repeatedly.
“Yes Your Majesty……I’m sure I would.”
“If you accept my courtship, you’ll be told that we’re a good-looking couple everywhere we go. You are handsome too. No, in your case, it seems that beautiful, rather than handsome suits you better.”
“Ah……. Ah…….?”
Radan shook his head as though he were confused. Leshak guessed he hadn’t heard many people call him handsome or pretty.
“So don’t make me wait too long. I often hear that ‘Leshak is patient,’ but I don’t think that’s necessarily the case.”
“Ah……”
Radan licked his lips as if about to say something, but it never came out. As Leshak had guessed, this was the first time Radan had heard such a thing. What Leshak couldn’t figure out was the complicated feelings those words caused Radan.
The last words Alsanu Ill spoke to Radan were that he was a curse from God, not his son. Laud’s most frequent word to him was that he was a ghastly monster. That he was a murderer who killed his mother right after he was born, and he was a disaster for the Kemened royal family.
“Ah……,”
The hand holding Leshak was trembling. The thought of not being able to kill Leshak grew , it was terrifying. Radan bit his lip until he bled. I’m so sorry, Laud. Being a Prince of the Kemened Kingdom no longer matters.
‘I like this man,’
‘I’m sorry Laud, but I want this person to live on.’
‘Laud will not forgive me,’ thought Radan even though it couldn’t be helped.
‘I’m sorry, I’m really sorry……but I still can’t.’
“Majesty, I’m still here.”
Karum’s voice from ahead of them pulled Radan back from his thoughts.

“Your……Majesty?”
“… ….”
Sidris thought to himself, ‘I’m tired of being surprised and embarrassed’.
Prince Leshak was walking while holding the prostitute in his arms, pulling him to his chest with a more respectful attitude than if he was holding a Lady. Seeing that the prostitute was barefoot, he must have injured his foot or something.
“Ah…….”
Even so, he was tired of even talking about whether or not this was too much. Where Sidris was silent, Abadd, who was less tired than him, snorted a word.
“Majesty. Why didn’t you use Karum’s wide back? Karum, what are you doing? How can you stand by while His Majesty does such hard work?”
Coincidentally, the timing was just right. Just as Leshak was returning from his walk, Sidris and Abadd, who had just gone to get a tailor, had also arrived at the camp and were getting off their horses. Leshak continued walking to the barracks, still holding Radan. Foolishtranslationss.wordpress.com
“What are you talking about Abadd? I don’t want other people to hold him” asked Leshak
“No, that…… It’s just that there are eyes watching this. You should think about saving face too….. well… shouldn’t you do that?” Inquired Abadd.
“Save face?”
“Ah. Of course, I really respect His Majesty’s character, who values ‘saving face’ about as much as a pig’s snot.”
Leshak simply shook his head.
“It would be more humiliating to allow someone weaker than me to walk until their feet swell. It’s more strange to think that this kind of thing would cause people to lose face.”
Abadd, who suddenly felt weird, made a strange expression.
“Uh……. Yes, Your Majesty. Now that I think about it, it seemed like the right thing to do.”
“Did you find the tailor?”
“Yes, my lord, of course we did.”
“Good. Tell him to come to my barracks in a little while. I will prepare Radan.”
“Yes, my lord.”
Leshak quickly walked into the barracks, carrying Radan. Abadd clicked his tongue at Leshak’s back.
“That means it’s over. I must be completely out of my mind…… Shit! I’m sorry, I had no intention of insulting His Majesty.”
Sidris tapped Abadd’s back, who was muttering to himself melancholy.
“I have something to tell you, should I tell you about it later?”
“What? Is it about what the pimp said?”
“Yes.”
“Probably. I don’t know if I’m ready to speak in that state I’m in right now.”
Abadd shook his head.
“Isn’t this how you looked three years ago? You know, with the pretty blacksmith’s daughter? The one you wooed with all your heart, but in the end she kicked you aside, and married someone else.”
Sidris knew that the woman named Yadel already had a fiance. He couldn’t quite remember how it was that Abadd fell in love with her, but Abadd was the worst thing about the three of them anyway. Abadd misrepresented himself as Prince Leshak’s chief knight and Viscount Bereri, meaning that in the end, he had no real intention of marrying her, whether she was engaged or not.
Smack!–
Sidris struck Abadd in the back of the head.
“Ugh! Why are you hitting me?”
“Isn’t that a good comparison?”
“Isn’t that example inappropriate?”
“Do you want one more shot?”
Sidris looked down on Abadd with pity, and then moved on. Finding a tailor who would come to the battlefield to earn money was surprisingly not difficult. Thanks to him, they were able to return on time without any major problems, despite spending quite a bit of time on the streets looking for Radan’s family.
“Radan!”
Leshak quickly caught Radan and wrapped his arms around him. Karum, who immediately followed, picked up a knife and cut the snake in half.

The snake cried out with a strange sound. The snake was cut in half and did not immediately die, instead it latched on to Leshak’s forearm.
