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…-

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…-

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…-

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…-

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…-

IIAD | Chapter 1.6
“I can’t believe it.” Baran repeated the same words countless times, his face flushed red. His pale fingers tapped rhythmically on the mahogany desk as if dancing across it. “Nika called my name. This is really the first time it’s ever happened. And then, even though he avoided my gaze a little… he actually said thank you.” Baran had walked out of his bedroom as if possessed, nearly forgetting how to breathe until he reached Raymond’s office. The moment Raymond cautiously addressed…-

IIAD | Chapter 1.5
Guilt spun inside him like a jagged wheel, tearing into his heart with every sharp edge. “I… Nika.” Baran bit his lip, desperately trying to suppress his greed. No, that was a lie. The truth was, he didn’t want to let guilt take away this chance. And the moment Nika pulled back the veil and met his eyes, Baran couldn’t stop himself. The lie spilled out. “I’m your lover.” Baran Taltamio, the wretched opportunist. A liar. Pathetic. Selfish. Nika would never love…-

IIAD | Chapter 1.4
Baran felt an overwhelming urge to grab the physician by the collar. His blue eyes burned as he turned to Nika. Nika, curled in on himself like a frightened child, looked completely lost. It was too much. Seeing the man who had always been cold as stone looking so uncertain left Baran completely defenseless. His hardened expression melted in an instant. “The proper way to confirm memory loss is through a series of questions, Marquis,” the physician explained. “If you’ll allow…-

IIAD | Chapter 1.3
With his vision lost, his only hope was to rely on his hearing. The crunch of dry twigs snapping underfoot rang through the air. Baran clutched the tree root he was hiding behind, frozen in place. A chilling sensation crawled over his hand, as if a forest insect had scurried across it. “Damn it, where the hell did that little rat go?” The voice was close. Baran hurriedly clamped a hand over his mouth. “Shh! Don’t be so loud. What if he’s hiding, waiting to kill us?” Laughter burst…-

IIAD | Chapter 1.2
Nika swept his surroundings with a wary glance. Three of Baran’s knights still stood, along with a handful of cavalry behind them. His dark eyes narrowed, calculating. Was there a way to win this? But before he could act— “Gh…!” A surge of searing pain struck his shoulder, forcing him to stagger. He barely caught himself, slamming his sword into the ground to keep from collapsing. Blood loss. Too much of it. Even so, after a brief moment, he lifted his blade once more. The…-
