Raha, who had been left alone after Grey returned, felt the situation became a bit awkward and cautiously called out to Teore, who was lost in thought while looking out the window.
“Um, Your Excellency the Grand Duke.”
At the call, Teore turned his head immediately and looked at him, a smile spreading across his lips. It was strangely bizarre.
No matter what, wasn’t it a situation where he had just been rolling around in his bed with someone else until just a moment ago?
Yet, why could he give such a lovely smile to him?
He wondered if this was because the keywords of the original work, a “multi-male” story, were reflected in the male leads as well.
Even in the original work, despite falling in love with Edrion, he couldn’t think of monopolizing him alone.
‘If that’s not it, there’s no way the obsessive Teore would leave me alone like this.’
Even if that wasn’t the case, Teore probably didn’t love him now the way he loved Edrion in the original work, so this reaction was quite natural.
“Why are you calling me and not saying anything, Raha?”
Teore asked Raha with a face as affectionate as his smile.
Raha rolled his eyes for a moment before saying to him.
“Because I did that kind of thing in the bed of the Duke and the Grand Duke…”
He wanted to ask if he wasn’t angry, but for some reason, he didn’t have the confidence to spit out the rest, so he let his words trail off.
As if sensing Raha’s heart, Teore said.
“Raha, you are the High Priest.”
Seeing him with a puzzled expression at the sudden remark, Teore continued with a gentle smile on his lips.
“The High Priest is the one who plays the role of healing the five of us who possess attribute powers.”
“We all know that the way to perform the most powerful healing with the abilities you have is through physical union.”
Saying that he had also learned in attribute ability class that sexual intercourse was a way to heal because they knew that, Teore looked at Raha with a smile that seemed a bit forced.
“In the future, there will definitely be times when you must heal through physical union with guys other than me. Whether it’s an unavoidable situation or not.”
Teore continued that since healing through sex usually meant they didn’t need to be healed for two weeks easily, it was better for them to be healed through sex every time.
He said that until now, because Raha was only clinging to Blizan and was also acting out by bullying Edrion for no reason, no one had considered that level of healing.
“But now, the remaining three guys will want to hold you too.”
“…”
“I still hate that, but I don’t have the right to stop you from healing, Raha.”
Teore let out a helpless, sigh-mixed laugh and continued.
“All I can do is keep you here, in my castle, to make the time they spend rolling with you as short as possible.”
‘Ah, so that’s why you locked me up…’
Raha’s eyes widened slightly.
The fact that the reason he had “imprisoned” him in the Grand Duke’s castle was merely for that reason made Raha’s eyes widen.
It seemed certain that this act stemmed from his romantic feelings toward him.
However, usually, a romantic heart would contain a desire to monopolize and possess, but perhaps because of the “multi-male” keyword of the original work, Teore’s way of monopolizing and possessing felt a little different from ordinary people.
It seemed he naturally accepted that part since he was the High Priest who had to heal all five of them.
When that thought occurred, he felt it was a fortunate thing for him.
‘I was planning to leave after doing it with all five, so that’s fortunate in its own way.’
However, as soon as that thought crossed his mind, Teore looked at Raha with a cool expression and said.
“Of course, that is for now.”
“Yes?”
“…Yes?”
“I won’t let it be like that in the future. I plan to do what I can starting now for that.”
As he looked at Teore, blinking his eyes repeatedly with a “what is all this?” expression, he smiled so affectionately it was chilling, reached out, and softly caressed Raha’s cheek.
“It means you just have to endure the current situation for a little while, Raha. Until I can make you completely mine.”
“…Yes?”
Raha’s mouth slowly began to hang open.
☆ ☆ ☆
Raha, who was heading toward the glass greenhouse to cool his head, which had become complicated due to Teore’s words, saw Edrion by chance in the first-floor lobby and naturally bowed his head once.
Since he had been chewing on the original content the whole time because of Teore’s bombshell statement, Raha felt like having a serious conversation with Edrion about this part.
However, since this was content he hadn’t experienced yet either, he felt that if he grabbed Edrion now and asked if Teore had always been this strongly obsessive and possessive, he would only get an answer asking how he would know that.
In any case, his mind was covered with what Teore had said, so Raha tried to empty his head as much as possible and greeted him lightly.
Then Edrion also replaced his greeting with a light nod.
As he passed him to go outside, Edrion walked toward Raha instead.
As if he had heard his thoughts, he suggested to Raha that they have a cup of tea first.
“If you have time, would you like to have a cup of tea with me?”
“Tea? Ah, yes… I was actually heading to the glass greenhouse thinking of having some tea, would you like to go together?”
Upon hearing “glass greenhouse,” Edrion showed a dissatisfied expression for a moment as if he didn’t really want to, but soon nodded and replied that he would.
It seemed that Edrion didn’t like the glass greenhouse very much, considering he didn’t seem to have come yesterday when he invited him there.
Raha was about to ask why he didn’t come when he invited him through Fargo yesterday, but he stopped himself.
If he brought it up for no reason, the fact that he was intimate with Teore in that place might slip out.
‘Still, it would be good to get a little closer this time.’
Thinking that it would be easier to connect Edrion and Teore if he got at least a little closer, he made up his mind to build as much friendship with him as possible this time.
As soon as he sat down at the garden table in the glass greenhouse, he asked trivial questions about what kind of tea and dessert he liked, and Edrion’s expression changed strangely.
“I’m fine with anything. You should choose what you want to have, High Priest.”
In the first place, Edrion had never really chosen tea or refreshments himself and just drank or ate what was served, so he was unfamiliar with Raha ordering this and that in detail to Fargo, who was standing by.
As if reading Edrion’s expression, Raha said it would be better to drink what you want since you’re drinking it anyway.
“Ah, if you like sweet things, shall I ask them to bring a sweet tea separately?”
At the question asked as if he were caring for him, Edrion shook his head a couple of times and said it didn’t matter to him.
