RGS Volume 4 Part 14

Despite riding the most comfortable carriage, the journey was still exhausting. Sitting still and enduring the carriage’s jolting was already hard enough, but now he had to suck on a dirty pen1s that couldn’t even stay erect properly which is so infuriating. However, he couldn’t spit out the pen1s in his mouth because he had to cater to the war profiteer’s whims under Norhox’s orders. Fortunately, this time it seemed that the war profiteer was about to ejaculate.

“Ugh! Oh!”

The war profiteer let out a raspy moan, his body trembling. His foul-tasting semen filled Erei’s mouth. For a moment, he felt like vomiting, however, Erei smiled at the war profiteer as if it were a habit. Since entering the King’s Heart as a Regas, he had been holding a man’s gen1tals in his mouth.

Thanks to the education he received while being beaten back then, he was able to smile no matter who he met. And this always worked, and the other person would always fall for it. Making the other person believe he genuinely liked them.

 Erei swallowed all of the war profiteer’s semen and smiled as if embarrassed.

“It’s fascinating. It tastes sweet.”

He whispered sweetly and lightly stroked the war profiteer’s thigh with his white hand. The war profiteer gasped for breath and looked at the empty space before looking down at Erei, who was sitting between his legs. His veins stood out and his bloodshot eyes, yellow and cloudy, seemed somewhat dazed. However, he understood Erei’s words immediately and twisted his lips.

“Hehe, everyone goes crazy once they get a taste of my d1ck.”

Erei barely managed to suppress his distorted face.

Crazy, my ass. Rather I’m disgusted that’s why I’m going crazy.

He wanted to spit out words that were about to come out of the tip of his tongue, but he suppressed them and cursed him inwardly.

A worthless fool.

He doesn’t even realize what will happen to him once we reach the emperor’s camp, he’s truly ridiculous.

Norhox was planning something to get rid of the war profiteer who’s right in front of his eyes. How dare such a nouveau riche try to manage the King’s Hearts Regas. Even Erei found it absurd, so there was no way Norhox would tolerate it. Especially, since Norhox had ordered him to leave the Regas quarters at night.

It was a bit concerning that if there was someone who had caught the emperor’s eye among the Regas, they had to be brought out.

But why on earth are all Regas blond with green eyes anyway?

As Erei pondered this, something approached his lips. Startled, he flinched and jerked his head back to find it was the salted dried meat he had eaten before.

“Eat. It’s a reward.”

The war profiteer took out one for himself as he reached out his hand to him, chewing it noisily, urging him to eat quickly. It was a lowly food, one that only the poor ate. Erei managed to maintain a smile and opened his mouth to eat the meat he gave him. As he chewed once, a salty taste filled his mouth along with the foul smell of the meat. He could barely stand the taste as disgusting as the war profiteer’s gen1tals, and then he suddenly heard his absentminded muttering from above.

“If I find the emperor’s Regas and earn merit, I’ll ask the duke to take you out. Then come under me.”

Hmph, as if anyone can decide for me.

Erei muttered to himself as he chewed the meat, and suddenly realized something strange.

Wait, what did he say?

“The emperor’s Regas? Didn’t the emperor’s Regas die a long time ago? He was a big, ugly guy.”

Thanks to that, he, a Regas, who was chosen for his appearance, had been neglected and treated like a bowl of cold rice. But what came out of the war profiteer’s mouth was different. After chewing one piece of meat, he put another piece in his mouth and lowered his gloomy eyes.

“No. The real Regas of the emperor hasn’t appeared yet. That’s why Duke Truyde entrusted me with this position. I have to find the Emperor’s Regas before anyone else. It must be among the blond, green eyes that the emperor is interested in. Oh, um, of course, this is a secret.”

Although the war profiteer belatedly warned him to keep it a secret, Erei could no longer hear his voice in his ears.

The real Regas hasn’t appeared yet?!

The shock soon turned into excitement and made Erei’s heart beat faster.

If the real Regas doesn’t exist yet, that means it could be me.

The realization made the salty meat in his mouth suddenly taste sweet. This time, it genuinely tasted sweet.

He couldn’t believe it until he saw it for himself. No, even rushing over and confirming it with his own eyes, it was hard to accept.

The emperor had collapsed? Not sleeping, but collapsed?

2nd Battalion Commander Roster was at a loss for words as he looked down at Karas.

Beside him, Kin and Ashler, who brought the emperor, stood with stern expressions, however, he was too shocked to even ask about what had happened.

Who was the emperor?

After fierce battles, he was the one who commanded their advance without showing a hint of fatigue. Throughout the entire army, it was a known fact as plain as the sky being blue that no one could match Karas’ stamina.

And now he had collapsed? What the hell had happened?

The words that couldn’t come out of his mouth were fortunately spoken by someone else.

“Ah! Why, why, why did His Majesty collapse?! Why on earth?!”

A voice loud enough to revive a dying person suddenly echoed through the room. The three of them simultaneously opened their eyes wide and glared at the Commander of the Royal Guards. However, he only had eyes for Karas and shouted another question in near hysteria.

“Who is responsible?! Who did this to My Majesty?!”

Ashler frowned and tried to warn him to lower his voice immediately. However, Kin and Roster stepped forward first and rebuked him.

“My?”

“What do you mean by ‘My Majesty’?”

The reason the two were angry was completely unexpected.

Ashler watched the two glaring at him in disbelief and intervened before the Commander of the Royal Guards could speak again.

“Lower your voice. Do you want the King’s Heart to know that His Majesty has collapsed?”

The Commander of the Royal Guards seemed to want to say something but fell silent. However, he couldn’t contain himself when looking at Karas and spoke again.

“But His Majesty collapsing… He’s never shown any signs of fatigue, even after days of chasing enemies without sleep. In the past six years I’ve known him, he’s never even fallen ill.”

The Commander of the Royal Guards, who was speaking, turned his head in frustration and trailed over his words. And then he blinked. When he suddenly became quiet, everyone turned their eyes to where his gaze had gone.

Near where Karas was lying, there was a small makeshift bed, and someone was lying on it. The face was not clearly visible as the blanket covered it almost up to the eyes, but it could be seen that the person had a small build and blond hair.

“Who is that person?”

The Commander of the Royal Guards asked sharply. Roster also finally realized and looked at Ashler and Kin with a puzzled expression.

“Who dares to lie in His Majesty’s quarters?!”

The voice of the Commander of the Royal Guards rose again, but this time there was no intervention from Ashler. Before answering, he briefly made eye contact with Kin and then opened his mouth.

“You don’t need to know.”

The Commander of the Royal Guards turned his head abruptly, his eyes widening, but Roster, who was next to him, stopped him with his hand. Roster pointed at Abel with his chin, as if he had remembered something.

“Is that the person you mentioned before?”

When Karas left the unit with Kin, he vaguely heard something. That Karas might have shown interest in someone and chased after them. At that time, Ashler, who spoke, was not sure, and Roster didn’t believe it, so he didn’t pay any attention to it afterward.

However, when he saw a person lying in the same place as the emperor, he couldn’t help but be reminded of that story. Sure enough, Ashler’s expression stiffened slightly. The Commander of the Royal Guards tried to intervene from the side again, but Roster spoke first.

“So, it is him. But why keep it a secret?”

Roster realized that there was something going on as he alternated his gaze between Ashler and Kin, thus, he lowered his voice.

“Could His Majesty’s collapse be related to this person?”

The Commander of the Royal Guards raised his eyebrows in surprise.

“What do you mean by that…”

“You stay quiet.”

This time, Kin stepped forward blocking the Commander of the Royal Guards. He glanced back at Ashler and gave a brief explanation.

“We don’t know the exact truth yet. All we know is that His Majesty cherishes that person.”

At the word ‘cherish,’ the Captain of the Royal Guard’s face turned pale.

“What on earth…?”

“Stay still.”

The Captain of the Royal Guards was stopped again this time. Roster, who had stopped him, stared at Kin with sharp eyes.

“I will be the one to judge whether it is accurate or not. So please tell me what you know, Sir Kin. I need to know what happened while you were moving with His Majesty.”

The Captain of the Royal Guards, who had been frustrated as he was interrupted to speak several times, quickly agreed with Roster’s words and nodded his head.

“That’s right. You must definitely…”

“You stay out of this.”

This time, it was Ashler. He persuaded Roster with a soft voice to calm him down.

“It’s not too late to hear the details from Sir Kin later. Right now, what’s important is to not let the King’s Heart know about His Majesty’s condition. Those b*stards are already desperate to get rid of His Majesty, so who knows what they will do if they find out that he is lying down like this? Honestly, it would be strange if we stayed here for a long time and it would only attract their attention.”

Roster nodded his head in agreement but pointed at Abel.

“However, having him here could also be a problem. In the past six years, no one has ever been in His Majesty’s quarters. If this person is someone His Majesty cherishes, we should move him elsewhere to avoid him being found out by the King’s Heart.”

“……”

“Ashler.”

“But if His Majesty wakes up, he will definitely look for this person first.”

He glanced at Kin for an opinion, but Kin simply turned his head away, as if he still didn’t like Able’s presence. Ashler helplessly sighed and then nodded his head.

“Alright. Let’s move him. Instead, let’s bring him to the room right next to this one. It’s a place where His Majesty can see him as soon as he wakes up.”

“However, I also have a condition. After moving that person, I need to hear the details.”

Ashler and Kin exchanged glances and nodded with dark eyes. Roster confirmed their agreement and added.

“It’s decided, then let’s get out of here…”

“No! I will stay by His Majesty’s side.”

Someone strongly objected. The three of them gently pacified the angry Commander of the Royal Guards at the same time.

“You shut up.”

“Get out.”

“Shut up and get lost.”

Kin’s face, who made the final warning, was fierce. The Commander of the Royal Guards felt a sense of injustice rising up like sorrow at their cold treatment.

“Why on earth are you doing this to me?! I should be the one by His Majesty’s side, lying there with a pure and fluttering appearance! But why do you easily keep ignoring my beautiful heart that sincerely devoted to His Majesty!”

It was indeed easy to ignore. The faces of the three distorted, but the Commander of the Royal Guards only raised his voice even more.

“I will hold His Majesty’s sick hand and care for him until he wakes up. Even if you draw your swords to stop me…”

Clang! Clang! Clang!

The three of them drew their swords and blocked his path. The anxiety of facing a man more frightening than the King’s Heart overwhelmed them, and Kin voiced his anger.

“This d*mn useless guy so obsessed with His Majesty.”

Norhox arrived with his lavishly adorned personal soldiers just as the sun was setting. He hadn’t expected a warm welcome, given that this was enemy territory, but he hadn’t anticipated being greeted by someone so insignificant, not even the commander.

“We have prepared separate quarters for you. Please stay in the designated accommodation and wait for His Majesty’s orders.”

Despite his stiff tone, the officer, who was wearing dirty clothes covered in dust, stared straight into Norhox’s eyes as he rode his horse. With a faint smile, Norhox asked.

“I must see His Majesty immediately.”

“You cannot see him at the moment.”

Norhox’s smile deepened as he looked around the camp, where torches were being lit one by one.

“I cannot see him? Then are you telling me to stay in this filthy and vulgar place for even a day?”

The officer from the 1st Battalion frowned at Norhox’s words, but calmly repeated the same statement.

“The cleanest accommodations have been prepared. If His Majesty gives the order within a few days…”

“Kneel.”

Norhox interrupted with a sudden command. The commander stared at him in silence, then reluctantly kneeled on the ground. Above him, Norhox’s voice came down like a gracious decree.

“I permit you to close your eyes.”

Eyes?

The officer looked up in confusion just as Norhox pulled on his horse’s reins. The horse, hindered by the obstacle right in front of it, lifted its front legs, however, Norhox’s foot forcefully struck the horse’s side. The horse’s front legs came crashing down on the officer. It all happened in the blink of an eye.

The officer’s lower body, which was trying to dodge to the side, was trampled by the horse’s hooves. As if that wasn’t enough, as he tried to escape, Norhox drove the horse over him again. The officer lost consciousness without even having the chance to scream, while the horse’s cries echoed through the air. Shock spread across the faces of the soldiers who watched this from the side, but Norhox’s voice contained laughter.

“You call yourselves a great army that led the 6 years of war to victory, but you can’t even avoid a horse’s hooves?”

Several soldiers tried to step forward in anger, but others around them stopped them. A heavy silence spread among them, and only then did Norhox finally command again in a cold voice.

“Deliver this to His Majesty. I must see him immediately. What are you doing standing still? Go and tell him that the great King’s Heart has arrived!”
