Chapter 18: I'll be that adulterer for you
Part 18
I'll be that adulterer for you
When he knew who he really was, Rigel tried to adjust a lot. Rather than giving up, he reluctantly asked Ragnes to tell him the story of his past. Ragnes also wanted to give a chance for himself and Sangtis to start over. He couldn't give up on his husband simply because of conflicting memories. Therefore, he gladly told any story, even if those stories had been upset and sorrowful. Now they were just the past that could be discussed and played with.
At that time, Ragnes was seventeen. Sangtis was twenty-two. Both were young but not simply innocent. They hung their heads together in confusion, it turned out that Ragnes was the one who wouldn't let the other go. Even to the point of death, he would not let this man take advantage of him. He may be dragged into a brothel to pay the debt because of this wicked man! He had never let him run away alone! They confessed to living together like that.
Sangtis also felt a little guilty. It wasn't that he was so vile and inhuman. He himself caused trouble, he had to take responsibility. But unfortunately, Ragnes was not his type. This was a cute young man with a bad mouth, self-centered and annoying. He couldn't have a wife like this personality!
The conclusion was that different kinds of people were living together in a confusing situation, roaming around different places. They seemed like the husband and wife were collecting money to pay their debts together. They did that for a month and a half until they started getting used to hanging out together. Even sleeping in the same tent was used to it.
"By the way, why should I help you to pay off a debt I didn't do!" Ragnes wailed at the thought for a moment.
"You can leave me. But if you're dragged into a brothel, don't blame me." Sanghis pretended to be joking but was almost cut off by Ragnes's throat.
"You wicked cannot find any good!"
"You're an uncute devil! Who wants to take you as a wife?!"
They kept scolding each other like that.
Until one night while they spent the night in a tent in the middle of the desert, Sangtis saw that Ragnes could not sleep and went to sit and hugged his knees and looked at the stars. His eyes looked very sad.
Even though this devil was not adorable, he felt kind of a pity. He decided to walk out of the tent and put a blanket over his shoulders. Before sitting down next to him, he saw a stubborn young man sitting like a lonely cat like this, he felt embarrassed and had to say something. But someone like him with a mouth like this would comfort anyone?
"Do you want me to be your owner? Maybe you're already attracted to this husband, aren't you?" Sangtis intentionally jokingly scolded the other party. But at this point, Ragnes lowered his head.
Bastard! He felt sadder than before!
"Nonsense, why do people have owners? I'm a freeman, I don't need an owner," said Ragnes, because the words reminded him of his future husband. Now he escaped but there were only less than two months left. Soon he would have to marry Kiros. He must have lost his freedom. When he thought of this fact, it hurt him a lot. "I just want to be myself. I don't want to get married at all."
"Huh?" Sangtis noticed. Ragnes did not speak out of anger but more like he had some conflict in his heart that he refused to tell him.
This caused Sangtis to be a little soft-hearted, being together for a while, he had never seen the other party with such a soft and frail expression. It showed that this was indeed a very serious matter.
"Don't think too much. Even if you have a husband or wife, it's not like you can't be yourself. Marriage isn't that bad."
"There is no way! I...if I get married, if there is someone else, it's like I've been ordained for the rest of my life. I..." he bitted his lip very irritated, "I'm sorry, I'm just crazy. It's not your fault."
Finally, Ragnes lowered his head again. He actually looked like a pitiful kitten. Sangtis, no matter how evil he was, was a gentleman. He couldn't bear to see this kid acting like this. Some parts in his heart, he worried that he made this person feel sorrow.
After thinking about it, he felt that he needed to improve himself a bit!
"I'm sorry. It's because of me, that's why you're having a hard time like this. But I can promise you if your future spouse's really bad, I'll find a way to kill that guy! Like that lord when we first met!"
"Huh?!" Will you help me kill my husband? It's a really weird offer!
"I'll be responsible for you! So don't cry!"
What??!!
"What the hell are you talking about?" Of course, Ragnes was very puzzled that this guy accidentally ate a crazy camel all of a sudden or said something weird. "You don't have to promise like that. I..I also have someone to marry. What will you be responsible for? Besides, if you kill him I became a bastard, bringing an adulterer to kill my own husband."
"Eh! You already have a fiance!?"
"Well, father gave this guy to me, in less than two months we will be married. My father even planned to have me give birth this year. It's funny, isn't it?!"
When Ragnes came to this point, Sangtis was like being hit hard on the head. He had just realized that he had kidnapped someone else's fiancé. Moreover, what he said a moment ago was to tell the wife that he would help kill the husband. Therefore, his current status… would be equivalent to an adulterer!
Is he the adulterer of this young man!!!
He was shocked, yes, but asked if he cared, hey! If he cared, he must change his name! He used to do every immoral. If the husband of the kid was a bad person, why couldn't he plan to kill one more!
Kill and hide the body so that no one can find his crime!
"You will marry the next day. But today you're still my wife," he then squeezed himself close to the other and put his arms around his shoulder. "I don't take advantage. I only want to comfort you! I am your evil husband until the day you lead that second husband into your oath. I'm the first man and therefore if you want anything, I'll find it for you!"
"Who would believe such a bad guy like you?" Ragnes laughed as he leaned on the other.
He didn't know why, even though Sangtis's words were nonsense. But he was so happy, so overwhelmed and they touched his deep heart. Now even the corners of his eyes were filled with tears of joy that would flow down his face.
He really wanted freedom. And this guy, the first and only person who promised to give it to him.
"I really envy you. I need freedom. There are a lot of things I want to do. There are many places I want to visit."
But it was all going to end soon. His duty was to give birth to Kiros'children as his father ordered. He must live to help support his brother's throne. Both his body and spirit were just that. Why being human? Why being a nymph demon? Why he wasn't strong and full of demonic blood? Why?
Just thinking about it...it was all stuck in his chest.
"If you want, do it. Do it now."
"Eh!"
"You're free, you can do it, this life is yours! If you want to do it, do it now! If you don't want to get married, you don't have to! You don't have to listen to anyone else!"
Yes, that was what Sangtis told him. And that was the first time someone told Ragnes he could do what he wanted to. Even if this was a word that sounds extremely irresponsible, and very selfish but it was also very impressive.
"Father said that if I don't marry, my elder brother, the head of the family will be in trouble, I…"
"Your brother sees you suffering, then he is happy and stable. Is that what your brother should feel? Life is yours, Atia! What do you want to do!"
What did he want to do?
What did he run away from home to do? Just came out and saw the world one last time before going back to being a caged bird?
"I change my mind!" Sangtis suddenly spoke up. "I don't care about money or debt! I'm going to travel! Do you want to go with me?!" He turned to the other person and used his hand to gently caress his wife's hair.
In Sangtis's eyes, tearful eyes didn't suit this kid, this person deserved to be smiling and furious at him!
"Far as we can. We'll meet as many people as we can. I'll travel with you. My life is given to you from now on!"
"Is it as simple as this?" Really?
"Yes, as simple as that!" Sangtis laughed.
His life had no substance, no goal, and may not last long. But if it would help someone, comfort someone, and made someone stand up, he would give it to that person. This was proof of his existence and defiance of destiny. Saving this sad-eyed young man was his pride.
"What's the answer? Will you go with me, Atia?" Sangtis grinned. This was an invitation to freedom.
What was the answer?
The answer was indeed Ragnes tucked into Sangtis' bosom. He cried uncontrollably. He only knew that he had the courage, he already had the feeling of wanting to fight. If fate said that he must be Kiros' wife but he saw differently. Why couldn't people dare to challenge god's fate? How a nymph? How a human? Be whatever.
Wasn't he the one who have to choose a life of his own?
"What if the father is angry with me? Will you accept the punishment as well?" Ragnes pretended to ask. Even though in his heart he thought it was impossible. But Sangtis laughed loudly.
"Absolutely! I'm your adulterer!"
"What?!"
"If I can't be your husband, I can still be an adulterer, right?!"
This was a man who had declared his stable adultery status since then.
Before Ragnes got his husband. He already had an adulterer!
And that was the beginning of a journey that made Ragnes meet a lot of people. People who would later become his stewards, companions, and acquaintances, were the foundations of his country in later times.
Before everything,
What was certain was that traveling brought two people closer than anyone. Their two hearts suddenly became inverted. The hands that could only gently touch each other turned into two hands that merged firmly. They finally realized that they had fallen in love with each other.
Two months later, Ragnes confessed his true status. But Sangtis did not care. The things he had vowed steadfastly on would never change.
It was just that he became the Younger Demon Prince's adulterer. The Elder Prince's bad brother-in-law, and was the son-in-law outside the law of the Demon King!!
Rigel sat and listened to his own story day and night until he felt like he had become depressed. He was so sassy and vile that his insults to Caberas for adultery were incomparable to what he had ever done.
But even if he kneeled down and apologized to Ragnes vigorously Ragnes still folded his arms and laughed and sipped goat's milk. He waved his hand indifferently that he did not see the slightest bit of damage. To be honest, it seemed as if this Demon King's consciousness had gone awry.
The more Ragnes was like this, the more Rigel felt guilty. Because in fact, he was the one who made this beautiful young man become like this!
The next night, it was the celebration of King Kafka's reign, Rigel had the opportunity to bring Ragnes to the palace as his wife. And surely he met adulterous men, no! Those who claimed to be his wife's current adulterers!
"Actually coincidentally, I'm lucky to be able to lead a beautiful person to the dance," the speaker was Sidel. Ozlo's eldest prince, now serving as the ambassador.
He saw Ragnes walking into the palace, and he hurriedly kissed his hand. The more he saw his true face, the more his heart fluttered. The golden hair was dazzlingly beautiful. These red eyes were like gems. The more meticulous the clothes, the more dazzling he looked. The only thing blocking his eyes was Rigel standing next to him.
"His husband's still standing here. Who're you going to bring to the event?" Rigel said bluntly, his tone clearly showing frustration.
"Oh, General, don't you need to go to work? However, I and young master Atia're friends, not strangers. You can trust and go to work. But who is the husband? I can only see temporary partners." Sidel grinned as he handed his hand to Ragnes.
After all, he was already counted as one of the fiances. It didn't matter what Rigel thinks, don't forget, according to the law, Sangtis or Rigel's position was just a sex partner!
"Atia is my wife!"
"Are you sure?" These words were very sarcastic. Of course, he wanted to tell the other party to quit. The status of a sex partner was not better than an adulterer!
If he was an adulterer, Rigel was just a disposable sex partner!
These two men set up fortresses to fight each other. Just then, another uninvited visitor wrapped Ragnes's waist from behind.
"Actually, since all statuses are equal, Why don't we all be in bed together. Having sex with only three guys, you'll probably be fine, right, my dear friend." such crazy words like this didn't even need to be introduced. Caberus! of course!
Ragnes hurriedly unpacked these octopus's hands with great difficulty. He was still smiling, but wanted to kick the dick of the sassy king!
"Ragnes, why are you making such a fed-up face? Or last night... your temporary partner made you unhappy? It must be very bad."
This bastard!!!
"You!" Rigel opened his mouth.
It turned out that before Rigel could do anything, Caberus suddenly slipped into the floor before the public eye. When he could lift his head, he saw Lauriet walking behind him. It was precisely this challenger who had cast a spell on him.
Lauriet disliked quarrels and cynicism. He smiled as a nice person walked in very friendly.
"It's almost time to start. Why're you standing here? Let's go in, shall we, Atia?" Lauriet said as he handed Ragnes.
Ragnes, who didn't want to be intimidated by harassment, grabbed Lauriet's hand, and they walked in together. Leaving the three young men of three species to stare and jaw dropped, their eyes full of anger.
What was this? It'd been two times! This pretended naive best friend, what was he doing!?
"That bastard, should we kill him first?!" Caberus offered immediately. He couldn't stand this person anymore!
"The closest is the most dangerous, a naive person, maybe a real villain?" Sidel said.
"D… did I miss something?" Rigel was very dizzy, feeling very mistaken for inviting this guy to sleep over at his house. Or, in fact, the most dangerous people were the unexpected ones.
Well, according to Ragnes's story, this guy was his best friend. But he was the person who Ragnes trusted the most, knew his heart the most, knows the job the most.
Who knows which direction this closeness will lead to?
The three of them looked at each other. They looked into each other's eyes. Even if it wasn't the first time, the more solidarity felt. Lauriet! It seemed he must be the first corpse!
"Some people want to be an adulterer. But what if I want to be a husband? Are you considering it?" Lauriet said as he shook his hand as he walked into the palace. But Ragnes laughed before raising his eyebrows. He began to look at Lauriet. And he knew that there was something between them that changed, but...
"Sorry, there is only a vacant adulterer right now. My dear Prime Minister," that was the answer.
But even if it was the number one adulterer position You have to fight a bit!
