I Became a S*ave to the Man I Abandoned: Chapter 14

You would have thought something was strange from the start, with asking you to bring a brooch and pretending not to know anything. And then, when you started to be whipped without any reason, you would have definitely thought that something was seriously wrong. Looking at Nox’s sweaty grayish blond hair, you could not even meet his eyes.

“I thought it would be nice if you left the mansion,” Nox said, looking at you.

Khalid kept his mouth shut, his blue eyes widening.

“I also need to find a good place and get engaged soon,” Nox tilted his head. As if he was relaxed, as if nothing happened. He tried to maintain his composure.

“Khalid, do you love me?” Nox said, throwing the cruellest words.

“That’s your fault,” Khalid, the young boy, couldn’t say anything. His mind froze as if he couldn’t say anything due to the voice saying that his heart itself is wrong.

“Expressing your love for me with your whole body is your fault.”

“Sir…”

Khalid’s voice barely came out, drenched in sweat and blood. And Nox’s cruel words. Khalid felt dizzy. He even thought of fainting. It must be a dream. Until just a moment ago, he thought there was no way that the Duke, who had been so gentle to him, would suddenly disappear like this.

Khalid stood up, holding the bed with one arm. Nox, seeing that sight, pushed Khalid’s hand away.

“It would be nice if you could leave the mansion as soon as you can move,” Nox said.

“Are you serious?”

“I am. Can’t you understand my intentions, even with my mother’s involvement?”

Nox raised the corner of his mouth. The muscles around his mouth seemed to be convulsing, but he managed to keep it up. He just hoped it would look like a smile. Khalid stood up. His body covered in blood.

Nox thought that Khalid would get angry at him. How could he betray him like this? He thought Khalid would curse at him and express his anger. But.

Thud.

It was the opposite. Khalid knelt in front of the chair where Nox was sitting. Nox’s eyes widened.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry,” Khalid held on to Nox’s pant leg.

“I won’t show any signs again.”

And he begged, tears streaming down. Just like when he begged to stay in this mansion in front of Ogha.

“I’ll do my best not to attract your attention.”

The child let go of Nox’s pant leg and clasped his hands together. Wide, blue eyes. Both hands gathered to atone for something that wasn’t his fault. Everything made Nox feel like he was going crazy.

“Please let me stay in this mansion.”

Nox couldn’t make a sound. Only his lips moved. He thought Khalid would get angry at him, express his anger. But that was just his delusion that he didn’t love Khalid enough. Khalid’s love was already far bigger than what Nox had imagined. He didn’t plan on raising it like this. He didn’t know it would grow like this. No, he didn’t know it was growing.

“…Khalid.”

“Yes, yes. My Lord…”

Nox tried his best to maintain a smile. It felt as if his stomach was rotting. Each word he spat out felt like he was cutting both Khalid and himself. But Nox said his final words with a bitter taste in his mouth.

“You’re not someone who can love me.”

Khalid stopped breathing.

“Don’t think you can love me.”

With a snap, Khalid’s hand dropped.

“You’re dismissed.”

Nox slowly stood up from his seat. And turned his body as if there was nothing left to see.

“I have to go to the Knight Order training. I hope you leave before I come back.”

Khalid didn’t say a word. Nox tightly held the hands that Khalid couldn’t see. The trembling wouldn’t stop.

“Take care.”

To cruelly kick him away and wish him well, it was contradictory.

“You’re beautiful, so you can live well no matter where you go.”

Nox thought it would become what he resents and the power that can make him hate himself.

Nox left the room without looking back. With a thump and the sound of the door closing, darkness came as if cutting off the relationship between Nox and Khalid. The hallway seemed darker than usual today. Nox stood in that spot for a while and looked up at the ceiling. His eyes were burning. But he knew better than anyone that he didn’t have the right to cry.

“My Lord…”

Maeta, who was waiting outside, called him softly. Nox started walking slowly in the hallway. Maeta followed him, the place where Khalid should have followed.

“Find a place where Khalid can receive treatment. Write a recommendation and provide him with a place to stay and money for his living expenses.”

“Understood.”

“And don’t let him know that I did all of this.”

Maeta paused at those words. Her face distorted with sadness.

“But then…”

Nox knew Maeta knew his feelings and he nodded.

“It doesn’t matter.”

Even if that child grows up hating me to death, it doesn’t matter. Maeta responded to Nox’s thoughts with silence.

Nox stood in the corridor for a long time. So that the child could heal enough wounds. So that he could blame himself enough. And so that he could leave completely.

I Became a S*ave to the Man I Abandoned: 
												Chapter 2 Part 1

I Became a S*ave to the Man I Abandoned: Chapter 2 Part 1

Dolan collapsed onto the floor, clutching his blood-soaked head with both hands. The future he had envisioned, in which his son, who had always disregarded him, would kneel before him and admit that his judgment was foolish, was now crumbling before his eyes.

Despite believing that he could get his revenge on those who always pointed fingers at him for being foolish and greedy, his efforts ended with just a lump of flesh in his embrace.

It couldn’t be. This just couldn’t be. Feltyon looked down coldly at Dolan’s cries of despair and declared sharply,

“Prince Beorantz Ditrod Daidalontz is to be executed immediately for the crimes of regicide and attempted royal murder. The empress, as his accomplice, will be dethroned and confined to the imperial harem pending trial. And…”

His usually warm, auburn eyes now swept across those present like the sharp blade of a knife.

“Everyone present here is sufficiently suspected of having partaken in His Imperial Majesty’s assassination. They will be detained and interrogated.”

“We are innocent!” people cried out desperately from all sides, but the knights in gray armor began to seize them, forcing them to kneel as if they were corralling feeble animals.

Nox watched the chaotic scene with an unreal expression in the midst of it all. There were many trying to escape to the terrace, but nobody reached out to him as he stood motionless.

Surveying the surroundings with detachment, Nox’s eyes suddenly met Feltyon’s. A faint disgust flickered in Feltyon’s gaze. In that moment, Nox furrowed his brow, sensing that something was terribly wrong.

“And for those against whom there is concrete evidence of involvement in the assassination of His Imperial Majesty.”

Two knights approached Nox from behind and grabbed his arms. The black suit that had been enveloping his body got wrinkled in an instant.

Nox was dragged to the front and forced to kneel before Feltyon. Next to him, his father still clutched the head of the crown prince. Nox, rather than begging for mercy, lifted his head and stared straight into Feltyon’s auburn eyes.

“You cannot do this to me.”

Nox gritted his teeth. The emperor had wished to pass the throne to the second prince, not the crown prince. Nox had known this fact all along. But starting with his father, the patriarch, all the foolish elders of the family only saw what was in front of them and supported the crown prince with their power.

The emperor was physically frail but was by no means lacking in intelligence. Believing it could somehow be overturned—after all, the second prince was far superior to the crown prince—the Nox consistently provided information to the spy that the second prince had planted within their family.

‘I didn’t know about the assassination of the emperor, but I was the one who passed on the information about the attack on the second prince…’

He had thought he might not be able to save his family, but at least his life could be spared. However, given the current situation, Nox could not precisely gauge Feltyon’s intentions. Nox recalled the last letter Feltyon had sent him.

[A new dawn will soon rise. Just endure a little longer. Even though a false sun will ascend, it shall fall struck by an arrow. I have received the message that came as a bird. My thanks.]

And in that interval, Feltyon’s firm voice cut through like a knife.

“The crime of attempting to assassinate the sun of the empire is grave; therefore, you shall be executed here and now.”

Nox’s brow crumpled. Could it be, was he thinking of discarding Nox after use? He had thought only his foolish father was to blame.

Yet even so, no voice escaped him begging for his life. Just a sense of futility, thinking, so this is how it ends.

Even as Feltyon’s dark green eyes pierced him like daggers, he maintained a numb expression and raised his hand.

The knights standing beside Dolan and Nox did not hesitate to lift their swords. The cool sensation of the blade touching momentarily, assessing where to strike. And then, at that moment.

“Your Highness, I have a request.”

An unfamiliar voice interjected. Nox raised his gaze to look beside the second prince. A knight in gray armor, the one who had arrived with the crown prince’s head, was looking down at Nox from Feltyon’s side.

Hearing that strange voice, Nox felt an eerie sensation.
