"You were drugged."
It was not a question. It was a statement made by Yikonsal. Averi had no way to refute it.
"It's not lethal. I will not die. It was just ... It won't kill me." Averi held back from saying the truth. Even he didn't know what was the actual truth. Still, he doesn't want his friend to get involved in his problem.
"Is the Prince involved in this?" Yikonsal asked. Averi's eyes widen as she looks around. He sighed when he confirmed that no one was around.
"Don't say blasphemy."
"You changed, Averi. Before, you weren't concerned whether someone heard or not. So it really concerns the Prince. "
Averi went silent. From that day, he even noticed his own change. He couldn't even sleep well because of the repeated replay of events of the past few days.
He can only do rigorous sword dancing to let out his frustration. But even his sword dancing practice was stopped temporarily because it reminded him of his weakness in front of the Prince. He even wants to die.
"Okay. I'll try not to get involve with your matters. But Averi, as a friend, you..." Yikon sighed. Averi heard it. "Be careful, Ave."
"I accepted him. He proved his worth. I—I am frustrated because I got defeated." Averi decided to lie. He knew that even if Yikon said he would not interfere, he would still find a way to find out the truth. That was Yikon, his silent but very concerned best friend. And to prevent his friend from learning the threats of the prince, Averi decided to give him a fake truth. "You see? The Great General Abrijah's son, the Young General Averi Abrijah got defeated by a person that's not my father?"
It was a half truth actually. He was also upset by his defeat. Averi is not a Young General for a title. Beside General Abrijah, no one has ever defeated him in Karima. Even the veteran warriors can't be on par with his duel skills.
Yikonsal went silent. He believed what Averi said. He knew his friend well. Averi went to the battlefield at the age of 12 and got his first ever win. At 16, he was sieze by an enemy but he ended wiping all of them. Even at 19, his tale continues. The only thing that prevents him from becoming a 'real' general was his respect for the Current General, his father.
How can someone that talented swallowed that defeat!? The other side was a sheltered prince for fuck's sake!
"He proved his worth. That's a fact. Swallow your pride, Not in all cases that you are always the winner." Yikon condolenced. The Prince must've done a trick, for him to defeat Averi. But Yikon discarded that thought immediately.
Yikon left. Eventually, the man forgot what he was aiming at Averi. He only remembered about the drug on Averi's blood when he returned to Royal Hospital. But at least, he got a blood sample.
After Yikon left, Averi continued to be silent. Not until a royal envoy came, saying that the Crown Prince requested an audience from the General's manor. Coincidentally, his father was also here. Averi suddenly remembered the Prince's words.
"I wonder how will the General will act upon knowing that his heir was being fucked by this prince?"
Is he starting? Is the prince testing him just because he ignored the prince's summons in the past few days?
"Tell Your Highness, The Crown Prince that I will visit—"
Averi stopped his father, "Father! I will go!" He volunteered.
Even though he was surprised at his son's behavior, the General could not deny that he was happy because the son took the initiative to get closer to the Prince. "But the Crown Prince specifically asked for the General. I'm afraid you can't, Av—"
"It was the 'Young' General, right?" Averi eyed the royal 'envoy'. He recognized the pretending envoy. He was one of Asharie's men in black.
The latter got what Averi meant. He knows the real score between the Crown Prince and the Young General. He clearly knows that the Prince wants the son instead of the father.
"Yes General. I apologize for confusing you for my wrong choice of words. It was indeed the Young General that the Crown Prince's wants."
The others didn't felt anything that's wrong in the envoy's words but Averi knew.
What's with the 'Crown Prince's wants the Young General'!?
"Let's go." Averi was the first to walk. The Prince even prepared a carriage for him.
The travel went smooth. They arrived at the Crown Prince Manor outside the Palace not long after. Averi got off and made his way inside.
He found the Prince having tea while admiring the butterflies on top of the flowers. He was wearing an eye mask but with a different design than the previous one.
Just now Averi noticed but there were no servants around. "You don't have servants?"
Asharie curved his lips before answering. "This Prince has. This Prince doesn't want them to bother this prince's peace." Asharie gestured Averi to sit down. "Why? Are you concerned with this prince's living?"
"As if." Averi nodded before sitting down. "Tell your business so that I can leave early."
"Hmm?" The Prince put down his cup and looked at Averi. "Pleasure this prince, then."
Averi was stunned. He knew what the Prince meant. He was somewhat reluctant but eventually he approached it and knelt down.
Asharie's eyes darkened immediately. Averi didn't notice but it was darker than before. He (Asharie) didn't speak, he was waiting for what Averi would do.
Averi reached out and touched the tent in the middle of the Prince. The latter let out a hiss. Averi proceeded to take it out from the Prince's trousers.
Even though he had seen it several times, Averi still couldn't believe its size. How can this huge thing enter his ...
He stroked it and later mouthed it. While doing so, his eyes were tightly shut. In his mind, he was licking a strange candy.
But Asharie can't take it anymore. He grabbed Averi's hair and banged his head downwards. The huge thing was shoved inside the mouth and it made Averi let out a choking sounds.
"This prince didn't mean this when this prince said pleasure. You can sing or even display your sword dancing, but you chose this so don't blame me!" Asharie controlled the motion.
Averi had urge to bite the Prince but he didn't dare so. Even though he's a genius in warfare, he can't still defy those from above. Plus the fact that the Prince had guards that were even more powerful than him. He can't escape by chance.
The Prince released his desires. "Swallow it."
Averi doesn't want to but there will probably be round two if he doesn't swallow. It was his first time eating a cum, a man's cum!
"I'm satisfied with your performance. You may go. " Prince Asharie left him after.
Averi tries to spit out the white liquid but he can't. He just wiped his mouth and massaged his jaw. It looks like it's been dislocated.
The summons continued until Averi's departure. The night before the travel, Asharie fucked him hard. Now he had to ride his horse in an awkward position.
Even with the threats of the beasts, wars between humans continued as time goes on. Magic users were banned to participate in a war as it was a part of the deal of the whole continent. But the use of objects related to magic is not prohibited.
The war was intense. The opponent releases sound waves that cause them to weaken. Averi was familiar with this feeling... It was the same whenever he saw the Prince's face.
He ignored his discomforts and fought all the way. The war ended with a few of them surviving.
However, it was a win.
A small party began in the forest when the night after battle came. Many were injured but their injuries did not prevent them from having fun.
"That sound attack. It was a curse magic. " A subordinate stated to General Abrijah. His father's hand was on-cast so one of his hands, which was near Averi, took the report. Because the father and son were just next to each other, Averi overheard their conversation. Averi also saw the report saying those sound waves were curse magic.
Curse Magic?
The Crown Prince's countenance flashed on his mind. He covered his face and excused himself. Only when he found a secluded place, did he dared to look at the tent standing in the middle of his body.
"Shit!" He just thought of the Prince's face and this is how it affects him ?!
Averi immediately went to his exclusive tent. No one can see him like this!
Averi's body was full of superficial wounds. Some were deep cuts due to the recent battle but that didn't stop him from masturbating. Unsatisfied, he reached for his bottom. Only when he's about to penetrate himself with his finger did Averi came back to his senses.
He slapped his head. To think that he was about to! To ... !!
Averi calmed himself down. For a month, he knew something was missing. Even if he doesn't want to admit it, his insides were indeed missing something.
He's missing the Prince.
Shit.
The whole Kingdom celebrated the new victory. They welcomed the victors upon their return. It was a festive that lasted for a few days and even the Palace prepared banquet.
After the party: in the Crown Prince's chamber…
"This prince didn't think that the Young General will deliver himself to this Prince." Asharie started to strip him.
"Shut up!" Even Averi was disgusted with himself. He really doesn't want to go here.
"These scars ..." Asharie traced those bandages on Averi's body, "Can you handle it?" The Prince's tone didn't carry a bit of worried tone. It was like; he was merely stating a fact.
"Do you want to fuck me or not? If no, then I'll go first. " One by one, Averi picked up the clothes that the Prince had removed from him. He wants to back out.
"After seducing this prince? You better pray for the next day. " Indeed, Averi prayed for the next day to come. His bandages even gave up due to their extreme activities.
Averi 'willingly' gave himself to confirm about something. He confirmed his suspicion as the Prince plowed him.
A week later, he did not show up at all. Even the visit of Cazim and Yikon was rejected by him. He ... He doesn't to face his friends.
The Crown Prince's people came but no matter what summons or even his Father was summoned, he lost interest. For a moment, he suddenly lost hope in himself and his family
.
He was currently doing aggressive sword dancing. He wanted to release the resentment in his being. He made an on-the-spot decision. After this, he will go to an adventure. Whether his father protests, the decision is up to him. He just need to find an opportunity to escape from the Prince's watch.
Swing!
Swing!
"Fuck!"
Shing!
A training dummy was cut into pieces.
"I wonder how will the General will act upon knowing that his heir was being fucked by this prince?" A voice invaded his mind again. It was ringing inside his head for the past few days like a broken record.
"Go! Tell my father that I was fucked by you!" Averi shouted on his mind as he thrust his sword to the training dummy.
Swing!
His helplessness...
Shing!
The reaction of his body whenever he thought of he was touched by the Prince...
Thud!
He can't believe himself. He wanted it! He wanted the... The Prince!
His moves became more aggressive.
AHHHH! I'm so fucked up!
"Arrggghhhh!!!"
He continued to massacre the dummies.
Averi heard footsteps but he ignored them. Maybe it was just his Father or maybe it's just Yikon and Cazim. He doesn't want to entertain them right now.
But he saw a familiar figure with that familiar mask. With no doubt, he thrust his sword to the cause of his unstable mind. The cause of his craziness. He clashed swords with the Prince, literally.
Shing!
Shing!
"Bad mood, e? The Prime Minister's son and the Young Doctor even asked this prince if this prince have something to do with your bad mood." Asharie blocked his attacks.
Shing!
Woosh!
Averi focused on attacking, he left many openings but strangely, the Prince didn't attack him, Asharie merely focused on defensing himself.
"Are you okay, now?" Asharie asked as Averi's sword flew away.
Averi kneeled. His sword fell right on his side.
He lowered his gaze. He can't face the Prince upon realizing his sin.
"Kill me." Averi said.
Asharie looked at the broken man in front of him. He felt a mixture of anger and annoyance.
Is it because of Shaidona's affairs? Shaidona treats Averi as a friend but why can't this man let go of her?
He pointed his own sword at Averi. He was furious! The man fucked by him and all but Shaidona's still the one on his mind!? What's with Shaidona? A pretty face? He was more beautiful than her!
"Give me a quick death, Your Highness." Asharie got even angrier. Damn! After all of his efforts to make this man his? Still Shaidona!?
Asharie made a cut on Averi's neck. Upon seeing the blood flow on that tempting neck of Young General, the Prince immediately removed his sword and turned away.
"Fix yourself."
Crown Prince Asharie killed many people, and most of them plead for survival but he didn't care. He wasn't merciful enough to spare them. Of course, a few only knew his killing sprees. But this man, the General's Eldest Son, Averi Abrijah...
Averi Abrijah was his.
If he can't get this man, he'd better just kill him. But upon seeing the traces of blood on Averi's neck, he can't... Something flashed on his eyes that made him back away.
"I've sinned! Your Highness! " Averi shouted. Asharie walked away. He didn't want to hear what Averi was going to say. He doesn't want to hear his (Averi) possible confession to Shaidona.
"I lust over you, Your Highness!"
Asharie stopped walking. Both of them were stunned. Even Averi, the one who confessed was stunned. He got carried away with his emotion that's why he was able to say that, but to announce his feelings in front of the Prince...
But before they can confront each other, a royal envoy from the King's palace barged in.
"Your Highness, The Crown Prince! And the Young General! The Palace summons the two of you!"
-
Few days ago...
"Your Higness, Your Majesty the King received news regarding the Young General's true identity."
Asharie nodded. "Hmm. At most, it will create an opportunity for me. It's better that they knew."
'After all, I plan to marry Averi.'
The subordinate pursed his lips. The Prince is about to get the young General but he and his co-man in black are still single.
Another subordinate arrived from the Prince's window. "A report! Your Highness! "
"What is it?"
"It's a letter from your master, the Elder Magician." The subordinate presented a letter.
Asharie took it and opened it. His eyes made a slit upon reading the letter. He looked up and saw the moon above, shining bright.
'Darskimain, huh.'
