Lucian sat in the carriage, the body of the carriage was shaking, and the silver hair beside his ears was shaking as well.
He closed his eyes, his pale face showing no thought.
It was their second day in the carriage. Wade sat on one side of the carriage, and he sat on the other. Neither of them said a word to each other.
Finally, Wade stood up and walked towards Lucian.
A strong sense of oppression swept down from above his head. Lucian opened his eyes and looked at him, and Wade reached out and grabbed his clenched right hand.
"What are you afraid of?" Wade said sarcastically.
Lucian then realized that he had actually trembled a little. And this sentence "What are you afraid of" was the first sentence that Wade said to him after they got on the carriage in the past two days.
Wade grabbed his struggling hand forcefully and pried open his five fingers one by one. Then the ruby earring that Lucian was holding in his palm was revealed with its brilliance.
"So you're looking for this thing. Why, do you think it's valuable?" Wade sneered.
He grabbed the earring, and the quiet Lucian reached out to grab it like a cat with its fur suddenly standing up. Wade snatched it away, and at that moment, a very dark thought made him want to stop the car and shove the earring into Lucian's body.
It was only then that he saw the wound on Lucian’s palm—the earring had sharp edges, and Lucian held it tightly, inevitably leaving several tiny cuts on his palm.
Vader once again couldn't control the sound of his sneer.
"Stop the car." He said to the coachman in front of the car.
The carriage stopped. Wade grabbed the earring and got off the carriage. At that moment, Lucian shouted, "You can't throw it away. You gave it to me..."
His throat was sealed by Vader's magic, but his ankles were still tied to the seat.
A few minutes later, Wade got out of the car. Lucian stared at him intently.
He asked Wade to come up with a bottle of alcohol and a ball of cotton, sit beside him, and roughly drag his hand over.
Lucian hissed. Wade soaked cotton in alcohol and pressed it against the wound, as if he didn't hear his voice.
Lucian: …
So he just looked at him.
After applying the medicine, Wade turned Lucian's face with his hands. He put the ruby earrings back on Lucian's ears.
When he finished, he flicked the gem with his fingers.
"That's great." Wade said with a smile, "As long as it hangs here..."
His hand touched Lucian's neck, and at that moment, he suddenly exerted force!
Lucian's face turned red due to lack of oxygen. Wade slowly felt the increasingly lively trembling and breathing of his hands, and continued: "... I will remember how you left the wedding scene that day."
Try harder.
"How did you trick me into a loop..."
Try harder.
"How did you deceive me and play with me from the beginning to the end..." Wade held his earlobe in his mouth and chuckled, "It's great that you kept it. When I see it, I will think of this."
He let go of his hand and approached Lucian when he was coughing violently from lack of oxygen and his body was twitching.
…
They did it several times in the carriage, but Vader never released Lucian's language, perhaps to prevent him from saying more words that would make him even angrier, or perhaps because he was tired of his sophistry.
Or maybe, he was afraid that he would become soft-hearted once he heard his voice.
But even when Lucian was being abused by him like this, he still reached the peak several times - even faster and more frequently than in the past when they were passionate or insincere.
There was no need for sweet talk, caressing, or kissing his lips. Lucian's body was already ready to receive him, soft as water, warm as spring. His expression was stiff, but his body was turning away from him.
When Lucian was about to reach the top again, Wade actually felt a strong sense of jealousy.
He was jealous of himself, jealous of how Lucian could have a more enthusiastic physical reaction when he treated him like this... than when he treated him gently in the past
At that moment, he grabbed Lucian's neck with such force that he almost strangled him to death. He heard the sound of his soul losing control again, just like the crazy feeling of wanting to fall into the abyss when he was burned by the cursed blood in his dreams every day and night.
At that moment he thought, it would be nice if he could die here with Lucian.
Lucian died under his body, and his body was burned to ashes by his blood. Then everyone could see the corpse they were hugging, and everyone felt...
They love each other.
Wade finally let go of his hand because Lucian's breath burned him. Lucian took in the air hard and closed his eyes tightly, without tears.
He remembered that Lucian used to love pretending to cry.
Why didn't he cry
Vader let go.
Lucian couldn't die, at least not now. He injected his magic power into the unconscious Lucian's body so that Lucian would feel better.
At that moment he felt like a complete loser again. But fortunately, he managed to hold back and didn't kiss Lucian this time, so his failure was not so complete.
…
On the fifteenth day, the carriage finally arrived at the villa outside the royal capital.
The villa that belonged to the Cecil family and was burned down in a fire.
“He actually restored the burned villa.” The system sighed in Lucian’s mind, “Fuck, he’s not going to lock you up here, is he?”
After the system finished speaking, it began to comfort Lucian: "Don't be sad, think positively, at least he didn't beat you. And being locked up here seems to be a good environment."
"Why should I be sad?" Lucian said lazily, "He combs my hair, massages my legs, and takes care of me every day. He occasionally unties the chains so that I can have a healthy sex life. I don't even have to move."
system:…
The system was about to speak but stopped. Lucian asked again: "Do you feel that the relationship between him and me has changed from a formal marriage to an affair?"
System: “…Okay.”
The system never expected Lucian to be so harsh. But when it thought that Lucian had the energy to say such words, it felt much less worried.
After all, being put in a small dark room is also a life experience.
Although it felt that it was increasingly unable to understand Lucian's thoughts.
Lucian sat in a room, as quiet as a beautiful doll. Ever since the day he boarded the carriage to grab the earrings, Wade had never unlocked the seal on Lucian's language, so Lucian couldn't call anyone in at the moment.
The system stayed with him for a while, and said with emotion: "Weid really hates you. He doesn't even let you speak."
Lucian said to the system: "I didn't expect that he would make such a big sacrifice just because he hated me and wanted to torture me. I remember that he used to like listening to my moans. Now he is willing to sacrifice his own happiness and make love with me in silence."
system:…
The system was completely speechless. Originally it thought that Wade was abnormal, and now it found that Lucian was also abnormal.
After a while, the door finally opened, and two puppet servants driven by magic led Lucian to another room.
There was a gorgeous dress hanging in the room—a long, high-necked dress inlaid with countless crystals, that looked like angel wings falling into the world.
There was a mask, crystal shoes, and several maids with their heads bowed. Those maids were also puppets driven by magic. They carried dresses, accessories, feather masks, and some braided hair props.
Wade sat behind the maids, holding his temple with one hand while he helped the puppets change Lucian's clothes.
The high collar covered her Adam's apple, the cut blurred the gender of her already slender body, and the mask covered her face. Under the puppet's disguise, Lucian looked like a tall and beautiful woman.
Vader asked the puppets to bring Lucian over. Lucian staggered and sat on the floor beside his legs. Vader leaned down and stroked Lucian's throat covered by the collar with his thumb, saying softly, "Now you look like a queen."
"… "
"I told them that when I was framed and exiled, a country girl saved me. She was a mute. Therefore, I promised to marry her as my queen." Wade said lightly, "Her name is Sylvia. I left the capital this time just to bring her back."
He reached out and smoothed Lucian's hair, saying, "Congratulations—you have become the queen again."
Lucian couldn't make a sound. Wade touched Lucian's lips and said, "It's almost time, get on the float."
Lucian then returned to the palace in this manner.
He recalled the beginning of his relationship with Vader. The capital city, which had not been there for several months, was no longer the same as when he left. It was now as strict as iron and blood. The people on both sides of the road respectfully welcomed the emperor's float back to the city. In addition to the emperor, the carriage also carried the queen he had welcomed back.
Upon arriving at the castle, Vader stepped off the float and greeted his queen as she stepped off.
The nobles were in the castle's main hall. They watched in fear as the black-haired emperor and his queen walked in. The hall was magnificent, and the ceremony of welcoming the queen back was extremely grand and dazzling. In front of everyone, Wade placed the queen's crown on Lucian's head with great care.
“You did a good job,” he whispered in Lucian’s ear, “You didn’t let them hear the… ding-dong, ding-dong sound on your ankle.”
No one knew that the Queen was a male succubus with chains on her ankles.
The nobles congratulated the perfect couple, and King Wade put a wedding ring on the mysterious "woman", but no one knew the true identity of the queen, nor did anyone know the undercurrent between the two as they talked and laughed.
After all the guests left, Wade took Lucian's hand and led him through the tunnel to a place.
A room.
Lucian shuddered slightly when he looked at the room.
"Lucian, it's time for us to go to bed." Wade said gently.
That room was a room full of strange props that he had discovered while searching for a tunnel.
The room had been renovated and became more gorgeous and larger than before. All the walls were covered with soft cushions that would not hurt people, and even the floor was covered with thick carpets. In addition, there was an extra bed - a very soft big bed.
The sleeping area, the shower room, and another area were separated by glass. If it weren't for the last area full of various furniture, this place really looked like an ordinary suite - just without sunlight, that's all.
Lucian bit his lip while looking at the things in the furniture area. Wade squinted his eyes as if he was appreciating his look. Finally, he smiled and asked him: "Dear, this is our wedding night, do you have anything to say to me? Oh-"
"I remember now that you can't speak now," Wade said. "That's better."
He brushed his fingers across the crown on Lucian's head: "The position of queen is prepared for you."
He stroked the dress on Lucian's body and said, "This is a beautiful dress, prepared for you."
He kissed his finger: "The ring of the covenant is prepared for you."
“… This room without sunlight, these ropes, these beads, these toys, these utensils, are all prepared for you, Lucian.” Wade picked up Lucian and put him on the bed.
"Welcome back to me, my queen."
