IIAD | Chapter 2.4
Just calling his name was enough. Nika was quick on the uptake. Sure enough, after a brief pause, he let go of Baran’s wrist. But… for some reason, he looked annoyed. Baran was curious enough to want to ask about it, but before he could, Raymond yanked him away mercilessly, putting an increasing distance between him and Nika. ── .✦ “The Duke insists that you must attend.” “Have I lost my mind? Why the hell would I willingly walk into that place? It’s obvious there’s no real…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 2.3
Claten spat in Baran’s face—just like he had back then—and stormed out. Baran wiped his cheek in a daze. That was the last time he ever saw Claten. Claten was executed as a traitor, one of the rebels who had taken over Sananta Castle and incited an uprising. Amidst the chaos, someone had grabbed his brown curls in one hand and driven a sword into his pale neck. Nika. That name had always been salvation to Baran. But for the first time, it wasn’t. His heart plummeted into the…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 2.2
Nika sat on a plush sofa, completely immersed in his book. Several other volumes were lined up neatly on the side table beside him, waiting their turn. At first, Baran found his focused expression utterly adorable, but as the minutes passed and Nika didn’t spare him even a single glance, his mood soured. So, he decided to strike up a conversation. “You know, the famous spirit summoner Ailman Hopshire from the High Kingdom era first saw a fire spirit in a fireplace when he was a child and made…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 2.1
“The duke won a massive victory in the battle at the Dartalu River and broke through the front lines. The prince’s forces have retreated west of the river. To be honest, it’s clear that Prince Ansalate is in a tight spot. If this push continues, he’ll be driven all the way to the western border.” Raymond spread out a map and explained the shifts in the war situation. Ever since the priests of the Dragon Temple made that ominous prophecy last year—claiming that Dracoson would never become a…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 1.12
Heat rushed to Nika’s face. Even if it was customary, stripping naked in front of unfamiliar women and being attended to in a bath was something he found hard to accept. It was only when Baran, unable to hold back any longer, let out a bright laugh that Nika and the maids realized he was there. The maids gasped in surprise and exclaimed, “Master!”—their tone carried a hint of reprimand. And understandably so. Baran had stepped out of the bath midway, wearing only a loosely draped robe. It…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 1.11
His voice was as stiff as ever, but to Baran, even that cold expression and voice carried a warmth that made his insides curl. “Why are you out here?” Truthfully, this was the first time Baran had ever had a casual conversation with Nika. Just the two of them. Talking alone with someone he liked—under the moonlight, no less. For someone like Baran, who had only just entered adulthood, this was an impossible challenge to overcome without giving himself away. He vividly remembered how he…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 1.10
It wasn’t one of those dull, worn-out donation books that filled the orphanage. Unusually, this one had a smooth, leather-bound cover. He thought about returning it to its owner. Maybe it would give him a chance to speak to her, to hear a word of thanks. But at the same time, he was curious—what kind of story was inside? Just flipping through it for a moment wouldn’t hurt, would it? So, Nika carefully opened the book and began to skim. He had only recently learned how to read, so it took him…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 1.9
Sure, it followed proper etiquette, but if he and Nika sat at opposite ends, the distance would be absurd. At best, he’d only be able to make out a vague outline of Nika’s expression. His hand, which had been smoothing out the tablecloth, hesitated as his expression fell into a small pout. He tried to think of a reasonable excuse to rearrange the seating so they could sit closer together, but no clever idea came to mind. In the end, he had to abandon the thought of sitting side by side with Nika. A…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 1.8
Feeling awkward, Baran’s gaze naturally drifted to Nika’s hands. Calloused, knotted with scars—those hands were what he loved most about him. His lips unconsciously curved into a soft smile. But the moment Nika realized where Baran was looking, he startled and quickly hid his hands behind his back. Then, as if suddenly worried that his reaction might have hurt Baran, he glanced at him hesitantly, gauging his response. His personality was more delicate than he let on. Inside, he was still very…- 29.7 K • Completed

IIAD | Chapter 1.7
At first, it had been a shock to learn that the arrogant man who had shaken him awake was none other than Prince Ansalate himself. But once he got used to it, it didn’t seem like such a big deal. The prince was just as haughty as his first impression suggested, but being a royal with the blood of the Ancient Dragon, it was probably impossible not to be arrogant. He was also shrewd and perceptive. In fact, he was the first to notice Baran’s feelings. After catching him sneaking glances at…- 29.7 K • Completed
