Chapter 29 – Male Nature
No matter how Kaligo was feeling now, Ashia was just looking at the two of them with a blank expression, then turned her back and entered the store.
“Oh, she just went inside. Be cool like her.”
Kaligo opened his mouth, suppressing his anger at Desian’s sarcastic voice. “What do you mean by that?”
“What else? There may be some reason to congratulate a friend on his engagement.”
Kaligo continued to speak, shaking off Desian’s hand on his shoulder. “Betrothal. Was it something that could be decided without the parties involved?”
“The Imperial Princess of that empire directly named you. Do you think a Grand Duke like you would be able to refuse?”
“There is nothing that cannot be done. I think you want to see what great things I can do with my position as the Grand Duke.”
“…”
Kaligo looked at Desian and tilted his head slightly. Then his eyes grew sharper. “You still don’t know which side she will take.”
With clenched teeth, Desian stared at Kaligo with his gleaming golden eyes as if he was a spy. Then he raised the corners of his mouth as he laughed lightly, pretending to tap his shoulders as he lightly threw his words, “Are you mad that I tried to touch that wizard? Do you like her that much?”
“…”
“Don’t worry. She’s much more my type than I expected, but it’s not like I’m going to try it right now. Only pure curiosity, no, just the good impression of her. That’s right, let’s just leave it like that.”
Whether it was his curiosity, it was a feeling that Kaligo didn’t accept from him.
“…I think you chose the wrong person to relieve your dirty greed.”
“Dirty greed?” Desian smiled brightly as if he had heard a funny joke. “And what are you? You think you look so clean and pure, don’t you?”
“…”
“Isn’t it the same for you? You want to put her next to you when your heart wants to, you want to touch her when she’s beside you, and when you touch her, you want to kiss her and move with your body… Can you still say no?”
Despite his blatant expression, Kaligo still had his calm expression. “Yes. I think of that way towards the woman in my heart.”
“See, that’s just our male instinct.” Desian put his arm back on Kaligo’s shoulder and whispered in his ear. “It doesn’t matter if you’ve rolled around with that woman already. Well, it wasn’t the first time we shared something.”
“…”
There was a fierce energy that permeated through Kaligo’s eyes as he glanced at Desian’s arm on his shoulder.
But not noticing it, Desian continued to mock him. “I’m just curious about something. How great was her skin under her skirt, and what did that proud woman look like when she was disheveled while trapped under you—keook!”
In an instant, Kaligo was quickly pushed his neck against the carriage.
Kwaang.
His breath stuttered. Although he had learned swordsmanship and fighting skills, he was still not comparable to Kaligo’s physique and strength, who steadily fought on the battlefield. In addition, Kaligo had been devoted to training with the Knights Templar in recent years. In other words, he was not an opponent that could be taken lightly.
“Keok! You!”
“Your Highness the Crown Prince.”
“Keook!”
“What have you learned while watching me?”
Desian’s eyes become fiercer from the pain. Ashia had talked to him like that earlier, and now, even Kaligo was talking to him in the same way, in a tone of reproach.
“Ah, if you learned something, you wouldn’t have been exposed like this… And it is regrettable that Your Highness is indeed the one who will be the next Emperor after His Majesty.”
“This b*s(t**d)…”
“If you think about the future of this empire…” Kaligo stopped talking for a moment as he ground his molars and murmured slowly, “Isn’t it better for the sky to turn upside down, Your Highness the Crown Prince?”
(T/N: turning the sky upside down = throwing into disorder or confusion)
Turning the sky upside down – it only meant treason. Desian’s eyes distorted at Kaligo’s words.
“You…Keuuk!”
As Desian struggled, Kaligo pressed his neck again. “If you mention that person with that filthy mouth one more time, I’ll tear you apart before that impossibility happens.”
He pulled back and relaxed his arm.
Desian, who felt a little more alive then, caressed his neck. “You keep saying I’m dirty.”
“…And… You?”
“…”
Looking into Kaligo’s narrowed eyes, Desian let out a small laugh. “Am I the only one wallowing with women? Am I the only one dirty? You’re just pretending to be noble.”
“…”
His sarcasm continued as he continued to cough. “What? Abstinence? Ha, all the dogs passing by will laugh at you. What does she know about all the women you called behind her back and played around with?”
“…”
“Think of the many potions we drank while playing, Grand Duke.”
Potions…
As Desian mentioned the potion, there were scenes that quickly ran through Kaligo’s mind.
These were the potions that Desian gave him, saying that they were drugs to keep sexual excitement from subsiding. At that time, the man named Kaligo Etous was busy pouring the drug into his body without even knowing what the side effects were. He was truly an idiot.
