He said it once more. I hoped otherwise, but he wasn’t referring to others who had relations with Rosenthal. He was pointing precisely at me.
“…Your Highness.”
I had never once tormented Seha. I did scold him once, but there was a valid reason. Though a sub-uke, I hadn’t fallen into becoming a villain. I didn’t use an aphrodisiac on Eldon. I thought I’d naturally moved away from a gruesome death ending.
But was I mistaken? It’s not about evil deeds or pregnancy. The moment we have relations, the conditions leading to a gruesome death ending are completed. Goosebumps rose all over my body. I had made a huge mistake.
Trembling, I looked at Eldon. Eldon’s calloused hand moved toward my neck.

*Cough.*
A hot lump of blood was vomited along with a heat that seemed to burn the airway.
Hereis took out a handkerchief and covered his mouth. He gazed at the red blood staining the handkerchief with sunken eyes.
‘It’s begun…’
Hereis wiped his mouth while casting his gaze eastward where the Crown Prince’s Palace was located.
“Harry-nim, what’s wrong?”
Raki, who had been boldly reading a BL novel in the drawing room, raised his head at the sound of coughing.
“I have a bit of a cold.”
Hereis smiled faintly as he put the blood-soaked handkerchief in his pocket.
“A cold? Shall I go to the palace physician and get medicine?”
“It’s alright. It’s not that serious.”
“Then at least have some tea.”
Before Hereis could stop him, Raki ran to the kitchen. And he brought back a luxurious tea set and tea.
“Thank you.”
Hereis, who had been standing by the window, sat in the seat across from Raki. As he drank the black tea, the warm tea mixed with fishy blood.
Raki also picked up his teacup. His gaze briefly lingered on the east. Raki’s legs, which possessed etiquette more perfect than the imperial palace servants, trembled.
“The young master…”
Raki tried to speak then closed his mouth. He seemed worried he might be dismissed if he spoke carelessly. Hereis held Raki in high regard. He was an excellent and loyal servant.
Raki picked up his book again. Hereis focused on his tea. By the third sip, he no longer felt the blood.
“Harry-nim, do you know how an incubus dies?”
Raki asked as he put down the book he’d been reading.
Suspicion and wariness intertwined in Hereis’s eyes. But the moment he saw the novel title <Incubus’s Sexuality>, he calmed down peacefully. He tidied his slightly disheveled hair and covered his red eyes.
“I wonder.”
“Incubi can also marry, apparently. But they’re succubi, right? If you just leave them be, it’s obvious they’ll cheat and cause chaos, so there must be restrictions. If they betray their companion and have relations with someone else, poison slowly spreads, and eventually they might die.”
“…Is that written in the novel?”
Raki smiled cheerfully.
“Yes. It’s Greedy Rose-nim’s new release. But you can’t dismiss it just because it’s a novel. Greedy Rose-nim is famous for thorough research. So it must be true.”
Hereis had asked Raki about BL novels. It was to check the book he’d given Rosenthal, but he ended up being misunderstood as having that hobby himself. After that, Raki boldly read BL novels even in front of Hereis and chattered about the plots.
“But if an incubus marries another incubus they die from poison, but what happens if an incubus marries a human? Does the human suffer that poison? Or does the incubus bear it instead?”
“…Have you finished reading the novel?”
“Yes. It was truly the best. Greedy Rose-nim has even acquired lyricism now. It’s really so beautiful. The young master would love it too!”
Hereis snatched the book from Raki’s hands as he gushed praise.
“It would be better not to show this novel to the young master.”
“What? But it’s really the greatest masterpiece!”
“The young master seemed uncomfortable with stories about different races. I hope Raki will also refrain from mentioning them.”
“Oh, really? Understood. I had no idea at all. Harry-nim, you’re really amazing.”
“I ask for your continued caution.”
Hereis stood up. His esophagus was burning again. One handkerchief wouldn’t be enough.
“By the way, will it go well tonight? I’m going crazy with anxiety wondering if he’ll just come back again this time too. It’ll probably start around 10 o’clock…”
It’s already started.
Hereis swallowed his words as he left the room. Dark red clumps of blood poured out again.

“Ugh.”
Eldon’s semen filled my inner walls again.
He said he would kill me while stroking my neck with hot hands, then inserted his penis again. And he ejaculated a second time, moving even more roughly than the first.
It was my first time, yet he did it twice in a row. Moreover, covered in fear, I couldn’t even moan or fall into the heat. I just stiffened like a stone and watched Eldon’s mood. Afraid I might displease him, I couldn’t even hold his body and trembled while clasping my cold hands together.
I might be murdered. I might really die.
The vaguely felt fear pierced my mind and consumed my body. I watched Eldon savoring the lingering sensation of ejaculation and asked in a small voice.
“…Will you kill me?”
“It might be better to kill you.”
Eldon gazed at me with eyes disheveled from lust.
“I’ve heard the rumors that you’re the world’s greatest treasure, but you far exceed expectations. I want to capture those bastards who trained your insides so deliciously and tear them limb from limb. I want only me to know.”
“……”
What does he mean? I just blinked in bewilderment when Eldon pressed my lips up and down firmly.
“Mmph.”
“You’re going to drive me crazy. I feel like I’ll become an idiot Emperor who’ll grant everything if you whisper with these pretty lips.”
I desperately shook my head. I’m not Seha—how could I possibly have such ability? Then Eldon’s finger entered and rummaged inside my mouth. He touched my teeth, stroked the tender mucous membrane and palate, then pressed down on my tongue.
“I tried to forget you but kept thinking of you. Because of these distracting thoughts about you, even though the evidence was right before me, I wasted time unable to find it.”
No. Even without me, you wouldn’t have found it quickly. That’s how it’s predetermined. But I couldn’t say such things. Saliva dripped between my parted lips.
“What am I doing here at such a crucial time when I should be striking the Third Prince?”
I desperately pursed my lips to swallow saliva when Eldon tickled my tongue with his index and middle fingers, then stirred everything again.
“I don’t believe in love. I have no interest in carnal pleasures other than releasing rut. I hate alcohol too. I detest anything that dominates and infiltrates my reason.”
“Hnngh, mmph…”
“But I didn’t know it would feel this good. As expected, you’ll probably ruin me. So wouldn’t it be better to kill you here?”
He finally withdrew his hand. Saliva stretched out like a spider’s web then snapped. I coughed violently.
“What do you think? Rosenthal Chendewden?”
In the original work, after having relations with Seha, Eldon realizes his overflowing love and vows to take him as his companion. But relations with me seem to feel like a dangerous element.
Even if Eldon feels curiosity about my body and is satisfied and obsessed, a happy ending won’t come.
Hereis also absorbed vital energy, and there was no reason to sleep with Eldon. So I should have refused to the end, but the greed I held for a moment returned as disaster. Perhaps the author is punishing me for daring to steal the main uke’s event.
“If you’ll just spare my life, I’ll go to another country and live quietly like a dead mouse.”
“……”
“How about announcing that Rosenthal died? Even so, the Chendewden family will continue to follow Your Highness. I will leave quietly. If you’ll just spare my life…”
Eldon stroked my neck. The fingers drenched in saliva drew a line, grazing straight across my neck. Eldon caressed my neck then gradually lowered his hand to rub the mark on my collarbone.
“How foolish.”
He wore a slight sneer.
“…Pardon?”
“It means I like you so much I want to kill you.”
“Pardon?”
When I asked back blankly in confusion, his eyes narrowed.
“You should understand on your own. Must this body speak such embarrassing words?”
Eldon seemed to have explained, but I still didn’t understand. So what? Are you going to kill me? Or spare me?
“I’ve never wanted something so useless this badly.”
Does he mean I’m useless? Or that he wants me? I couldn’t understand at all when his hand reached downward again. I fled backward in vague fear. But even fleeing, I was still within the bed. My ankle was immediately caught and my body dragged forward.
“I, I’ll stop now!”
“What weak words. Rosenthal Chendewden’s reputation will weep.”
“It’s a crucial time to strike down Grand Duke Curtis! Please go back now!”
“But your body says otherwise.”
Eldon spread my legs and raised them up. Then my buttocks naturally lifted, revealing my private parts. The entrance, messy with mixed semen and love fluid, gaped like a baby bird wanting food.
“Haa, ah, really stop. Hngh!”
I tried to refuse, but heat like lava swept over my entire body. It was a completely different sensation from before.
“Your scent is seducing me.”
“No, it’s not. I can’t any… more…”
My tongue stuck and words wouldn’t come out properly. The mucous membrane scraped by Eldon rummaging in my mouth hurt and my pressed tongue tingled, but that wasn’t the reason.
“Haa, ah…”
Hot. So hot. The suddenly emerging sensation became a tsunami and consumed my body. Is this true heat cycle? The thought surfaced then sank.
“Rosenthal, what do you want?”
I want him. If only I could quench this heat, it would be fine even if my neck were cut off right now.
I reached out and grabbed Eldon. Eldon smiled and firmly gripped my thighs. The moment his penis entered, condensed moans burst out. I spread my legs even wider to welcome his member.
