“You. Why are you like this now?……
Look at him making such ‘big noise’. –
Leshak grabbed Radan’s chin and pulled him closer. However, the lips that hastily covered his lips, separated as quickly as when they approached.
“No, I can’t handle kissing you now. Not right now.”
Leshak hand released it’s hold on his chin, but this time only briefly. He pulled his chin up again, and pressed their lips together.
Radan was accustomed to accepting him. No, it wasn’t because he was used to it, it’s because Radan was also desperate.
“…… No more.”
Leshak forced himself to part with his lips.
He let out a rough breath as he wiped Radan’s red swollen lips, with his thumb.
“I have to go out. I do not have time, and I don’t want to embrace you in a hurry.”
Radan raised his head.
“It’s al,alright…… ”
Leshak’s lips touched the tip of his nose. He left a brief kiss with a loud sound, and quickly pulled away. He was amazed by his own patience.
“I’m okay.”
Still, there were some things that should not be compromised. Leshak wasn’t keeping Radan in his barracks for sex. What he wanted was stronger and deeper.
It was the first day he had Radan’s heart. He didn’t want to swallow it without savoring it.
“Why…… ”
“I will do it right. So wait until I return.”
Radan swallowed his saliva. Leshak left a brief kiss on his cheek, and mustered his last bit of patience.
“I probably won’t be back tonight. As you have heard, we need to find out who is behind the spy who infiltrated this place.”
“…… Yes, My Lord.”
Leshak’s hand traced the blush on his white cheeks regretfully.
“I wish you could keep this expression until I get back.”
“Wh,what kind of expression…….”
It was an expression that said ‘patience is not needed at all’.
But if he kept that look on his face the whole time, Leshak really would lose any patience he had left. Leshak forcibly removed his hand from Radan, and got up.
“I will leave Karum by your side. If you need anything, ask him. But don’t eat it, even if he brings you treats, okay?”
“Y……Yes, My Lord.”
He looked sad but Radan nodded as always.
”…… Damn it!”
Leshak pulled him closer and quickly swallowed his lips.
“You can eat, but keep in mind that Karum isn’t the one giving it to you, he’s giving it to you with my permission, because of me. If you feel very good eating sweets, it’s because of me, not because of Karum.”
“I,I see.”
“Then I will go.”
He should be ready to go by now. Leshak quickly crushed the regret of sticking his feet in place.
“Wait here, Radan.”
”…… G,go and come back, Majesty.”
“Alright then.”
Leshak left the barracks. He walked fast. He now felt like he could do anything to come back faster to Radan’s waiting arms.
But what Leshak didn’t notice is that at the end of ‘Wait here’, Radan didn’t say ‘Yes, My Lord’ as usual.

That person…… Maybe he was someone like ‘The Guide’.
Radan thought as he traced the wound on his neck, ‘you came because of me‘.
He didn’t know why the man wanted to kill him. But, if he thought about it, he only left a wound on his neck, so he might not have intended to kill him in the first place.
Radan didn’t know about the ciphertexts used by the People of Mjab, and ‘The Guide’ didn’t teach Radan who rarely sees with his eyes how to read the ciphertexts, but he seemed to understand it anyway.
Seeing that all the words ‘The Guide’ taught him were written in the ciphertext, it couldn’t be said that there was no connection.
I can’t be here anymore. –
He was finally able to make up his mind. Now that Leshak and half of the Guardian Knights left the military camp, there was an opportunity that would never come again.
He would never see Leshak again…… but that was for his benefit. So that’s why he told him that he liked him.
Leshak’s courtship was not in vain. No, it didn’t make sense in the first place. Even before he pursued Radan, Radan would have liked him.
So he had to leave.
Radan listened for a while to see if there were any footsteps heading his way. After being convinced that no one would come, Radan removed the blindfold. Ice-blue eyes appeared through his pitch black hair.
It was a mysterious appearance that was difficult to express. Radan looked like a snow spirit¹ that had never set foot on human lands.
Radan took the blindfold and put it in his arms, and looked for something to cover his face. It seemed that the blanket, the size to cover feet, was just right. Radan held the blanket over his head and looked outside the tent. There were four guards guarding the front and back of the barracks.
They looked at Radan and asked.
“Sir Mjab. What do you need?”
Radan held onto the blanket tightly so that there would be no eye contact, and so his gaze rested on his feet.
“Yes. I’m g,going to go for a walk…….”
“If that’s the case, wait a moment. We are of low rank and cannot serve Mjab, so I think we will have to speak to Sir Siyed.”
“W,where is he….. please? I will tell him.”
“Sir Siyed is coming over here now……just in time.”
Karum was on the way with cookies and pies just as Leshak had anticipated. He was startled to see Radan coming out of the barracks and ran to him with a tray.
“Sir Mjab! Why are you here? No, and why are you wearing a blanket?”
Radan sniffed the sweet scent of sugar and cream that pierced his nose. He clenched his jaw in order not to remember the smell.
“Come on…. I want to go for …..a walk.”
“Ah, right now…….”
Karum shook his chin as if he were embarrassed. Now, in preparation for Leshak’s absence, they were setting up boundaries inside and outside the military camp. It was an ambiguous time to leave this place, or to take Radan out of the military camp to the stream.
“C,can’t I?”
However, there was no word saying that he should not watch after Radan if he wanted to come out.
“Then let’s make it a little short. Are you alright though?”
“Yes.”
Karum gave the tray of sweets to the sentry.
“Put this inside. We will be back in an hour or so.”
“Alright, Sir Karum.”
“Then let’s go.”
Karum grabbed Radan’s arm and led him in the right direction.
“Ah…….”
Radan shrugged his shoulders and walked away from Karum.
“No need to hold me…… you can let go, okay.”
“Even if you can’t see? Then, if you fall down I will hear from His Highness.”
“Still, it doesn’t matter…….”
“Ah.”
Karum remembered a bit of what Leshak once said about the tailor who measured Radan.
“Excuse me. Then hold on to my sleeve. Do you dislike that too?”
“I’ll walk well……I won’t fall over. I’ll go.”
“I won’t…….”
Karum was restless, but eventually nodded as though he could not force Radan.
“…make you then. Yes, I will follow…… Oh, oh my, you don’t know the way. Then I will lead the way, so please follow me.”
“Yes.”
Radan reached out and grabbed Karum’s arm. He couldn’t lift his head but he wanted to convey his sincerity. He was a really good man.
“Thank you.”
“Ah…….”
At that moment, the sentries tasked with protecting Leshak’s barracks rubbed their eyes. The illusion had arisen that they had seen a youthful blush on Sir Karum Siyed’s bearded cheeks.
“So, are you alright holding my arm…… It must be difficult.”
“…… Oh, yes?”
“I will take the lead.”
Karum turned around.
He made his footsteps loud, and walked very slowly. He didn’t forget to turn his head to check on every step Radan took.
“Move with caution.”
“Yes…….”
Radan, covered in a blanket, followed Karum. It was no mistake that he gradually distanced himself from Karum.

“Is it over there?”
Asked the newly titled Count Custer, pointing to the mound. After passing there, it would be Leshak’s military camp.
“There’s really nothing. Damn it, what the hell is he doing in a place like that!? I thought he had captured even a plausible castle.”
Count Custer was young. He was a young man who had just turned 20.
He was a long way from playing his role as a General on the battlefield, or as a Knight. However, receiving the title meant that he also had a duty.
In order to maintain the title and territories, the approval of the Caliph Royal Family was required. Since he was given the title, he had to play along to gain their favor.
“Damn…… Why the hell is the emperor so fussy? I’d rather we left sooner rather than later.”
“Well, Count.”
The vassal who was accompanying him noticed that had said way too much. But the ignorant Count didn’t know what he was doing wrong.
“What, do you have no ears to hear me.”
“Still, isn’t Leshak’s camp right in front of you? Now slowly, be careful with what you say…….”
“Oh, that’s enough nagging. Do I look like a fool who would say such a thing in front of Leshak Caliph?
Count Custer was openly nervous about his words. As he struck the horse with a whip, it trembled and accelerated.
“Count! Don’t go too far alone!”
The vassals followed the Lord and speeded up as he shouted at the young Count Custer.
“What war? Why do I have to suffer in this wastelands!”
He had no intention of taking part in the war by commanding the five hundred enlisted men left behind by his deceased father. If he swore his allegiance to Prince Leshak, he would be allowed to inherit the title in return, but he was planning to return to his estate as soon as possible.
He’d already thought of all the excuses. He would make a false injury, pretend to be ill for a few days, and then he would complain that he could not end the Count of Custer line in this manner.
If Leshak Caliph is a conscientious person, he would not ignore his request.
Even his father, who was healthy, died only just a few days after he joined the Leshak army. The death of his father was the responsibility of Leshak Caliph.
“….. Huh. To call such a person a Guardian or anything like that…….”
Count Custer grinded his teeth.
It was something he would never say in front of others, but he hated Crown Prince Leshak. He didn’t like him because he was good from one to ten. He hated that people always praised him and made him a model for all knights.
What he hated the most was the duality of being the only one pretending to be noble.
When he asked for the imperial coffin for his father, he said no because of the way he was killed. When he heard those words, he thought his blood was gushing backwards.
He said his father violated the military rules and entered a brothel. Count Custer could not understand why entering a brothel would be against the rules.
“…… It’s funny, what are the rumors say is that that such a guy also brought a prostitute into the barracks and rolls around with him every day? Shit!”
Count Custer’s expression changed after muttering curses about Leshak for a while.
He had a smirk and vulgar expression that was unsuitable for a 20-year-old.
“Well, it seems that there must be a really good brothel nearby if it can make even Leshak Caliph, a wooden stone-hearted person, become like that.
If that’s the case, then he was thinking of staying a little longer. But before that, they will have to get rid of the nonsensical rule that prohibits entering brothels.
“Count, a little slower…… ”
The vassals followed behind. Count Custer hurried down the road, looking pathetically at the men who could not speak properly.
The horse he was riding had just started climbing the hill.
If you’re reading this anywhere other than Foolishtranslationss.wordpress.com, it was stolen from the translator’s website. Reading this anywhere other than the translator’s website ensures that the translator may never translate any other works. Thank you.
He got rid of Karum.
Radan forced his heart, that was pounding with worry and regret, on.
It was fortunate that a little bird flew over just in time. Radan said it was the first time he had heard that kind of sound, and Karum replied that it was a bird.
After Radan stood for a while and listened to the birdsong. Karum offered to catch the bird alive and then chased after it.
Radan buried his footsteps under the footsteps of the other, or stayed still. He moved away from Karum with the silent steps he had learned from The Guide.
When he thought that Leshak might be angry with Karum, it felt like he would regret it forever.
After some distance, Radan pulled the blanket down a little. There seemed to be no one around here. However, as it is an area where Leshak could come at any time, so it was imperative to be vigilant. He had to move as fast as he could.
Radan was thinking of going to Motilla. The guide told him to go to Motilla and find a family with the surname Mjab if he ever got lost. If he went there, he could go back to Laud’s side.
No matter how angry Laud was, he would say that he didn’t want to be Kemened’s Third Prince. Instead, he will say that he will live behind the iron gate for the rest of his life.
It would be okay. Prince Leshak would be safe throughout the time he is locked in the iron gate.
Everything is fine with Radan now.
However, he heard a horse running in front of himself. Radan knew what it meant.
It meant someone was coming.
Confused, Radan tried to hide himself. But there was no suitable place.
The tree was too big and the bush too small. Radan, who was looking around anxiously, found a large rock over there and tried to hide behind it. But it was too late.
“….. Whoa…Hey! Who the hell are you!?”
“…….”
Radan stopped walking. He couldn’t even breathe now. Radan moved his hand under the blanket and pulled out the blindfold. It would be disastrous if he ever tried to take off the blanket.
He didn’t want to kill anyone. Especially if they are close to Leshak.
“I,I…….”
“Hmm, What is this? You’re wearing pretty nice clothes. There’s only the military camp of Crown Prince Leshak around here…… Why the hell are you hanging around here?”
“Th,that…….”
The answer was too difficult. Constructing a lie was one of the most difficult things for Radan.
“Can’t you answer me? It’s like I caught a spy. What is that blanket? If you’re not a suspicious person, why are you covering your face with that?”
He was the young Count Custer.
He struck the horse’s side to make it go forward, then came up to Radan and snatched the blanket away.
“Ah, uh…….”
His face was revealed, which was hidden behind the tightly tied blindfold.
“Are you blind? Why is a blind….. Oh my.”
Count Custer’s mean expression increased to the limit.
He had heard the story that the prostitute from the brothel, whom Crown Prince Leshak has been cherishing recently, cannot see.
He heard it said he was too skinny and childish, but his face was incredibly beautiful.
“Are you Prince Leshak’s lover?”
“…….”
The eyes behind the blindfold swayed from side to side.
“Are you running away? Maybe from Prince Leshak? Why? It doesn’t look like he is treating you badly?”
Radan shook his head hastily.
“No…… no. I’m not going…… ”
“Aha, He’s blind, dressed in good clothes, and was wandering not far from Leshak’s military base, but he wasn’t Prince Leshak’s lover. So who are you?”
“…….”
Radan shut his mouth and didn’t say anything, Custer licked his lips and asked again.
“I heard there is a brothel nearby…… Are you a prostitute who works there?”
“…… Yes. That’s right……,”
“Oh, that’s great.”
Custer got off his horse.
He was said to have inherited strange tastes. He was just a little less fat, but he was a man who was just like his father.
“Alright, I’ve also pulled down my bottoms. How much would it be?”
“…… What? No…… I hate that.”
Radan shook his head and stepped back.
Custer smacked his lips as he saw Radan stumble.
“That’s funny. Why did you get caught off guard by a subject that concerns prostitutes? Come here!”
Custer grabbed Radan’s arm and pulled him. He kicked Radan in the calf.
“Ahhh!”
He fixed Radan’s body by bending his arm as he fell forward, then dragged his face between his legs.”
“Shall we take a look at the talent that even the wood and stone have fallen for?”
Earl Custer smiled, revealing his teeth.
Both ignorant, and cruel…

T/N:
¹ It isn’t stated specifically, but I’m thinking it’s kinda like a 雪女 (Yuki-onna or Yukionba). A Japanese snow spirit (yōkai). Taking the form of a beautiful woman with snow white skin, raven hair, and eyes that strike fear into the hearts of humans.
“You. Why are you like this now?……

“Hmm, What is this? You’re wearing pretty nice clothes. There’s only the military camp of Crown Prince Leshak around here…… Why the hell are you hanging around here?”
“Th,that…….”
The answer was too difficult. Constructing a lie was one of the most difficult things for Radan.
“Can’t you answer me? It’s like I caught a spy. What is that blanket? If you’re not a suspicious person, why are you covering your face with that?”
He was the young Count Custer.
He struck the horse’s side to make it go forward, then came up to Radan and snatched the blanket away.
“Ah, uh…….”
His face was revealed, which was hidden behind the tightly tied blindfold.
“Are you blind? Why is a blind….. Oh my.”
Count Custer’s mean expression increased to the limit.
He had heard the story that the prostitute from the brothel, whom Crown Prince Leshak has been cherishing recently, cannot see.
He heard it said he was too skinny and childish, but his face was incredibly beautiful.
“Are you Prince Leshak’s lover?”
“…….”
The eyes behind the blindfold swayed from side to side.
“Are you running away? Maybe from Prince Leshak? Why? It doesn’t look like he is treating you badly?”
Radan shook his head hastily.
“No…… no. I’m not going…… ”
“Aha, He’s blind, dressed in good clothes, and was wandering not far from Leshak’s military base, but he wasn’t Prince Leshak’s lover. So who are you?”
“…….”
Radan shut his mouth and didn’t say anything, Custer licked his lips and asked again.
“I heard there is a brothel nearby…… Are you a prostitute who works there?”
“…… Yes. That’s right……,”
“Oh, that’s great.”
Custer got off his horse.
He was said to have inherited strange tastes. He was just a little less fat, but he was a man who was just like his father.
“Alright, I’ve also pulled down my bottoms. How much would it be?”
“…… What? No…… I hate that.”
Radan shook his head and stepped back.
Custer smacked his lips as he saw Radan stumble.
“That’s funny. Why did you get caught off guard by a subject that concerns prostitutes? Come here!”
Custer grabbed Radan’s arm and pulled him. He kicked Radan in the calf.
“Ahhh!”
He fixed Radan’s body by bending his arm as he fell forward, then dragged his face between his legs.”
“Shall we take a look at the talent that even the wood and stone have fallen for?”
Earl Custer smiled, revealing his teeth.
Both ignorant, and cruel…
