章節 53: Chapter 53: New Friends
It did not take them long to have a standard contract in place, and both parties were satisfied with the new venture they were taking together.
Mr. Kilga shook Kilian's hand excitedly, placing his copy of the contract within his jacket.
"I will start reaching out to the families, who might be interested, after that, the word alone should be enough to get the sales going."
The man was almost floating to the door with a bright grin on his face.
"These items are unique and can be what brings home our young lords and ladies, they should be popular and sold before they have all left for the frontline."
Kilian sat back on the sofa in the small room.
He had been able to both confirm Rayden was well and even been able to sort out the issue for distribution and sales of the weapons, that had been processed by smithies in the capital.
Mr. Kilga had left, and the music and chatter from the ball seemed far away.
"Are you ok?"
The voice was Dante's and the door had opened and closed without Kilian hearing it.
The redhead walked over.
"I am ok Dante, In fact, I am great."
Kilian was lost in his own thoughts when Dante suddenly stepped closer and bend down, pushing Kilian's back down onto the sofa, moving up over him.
"Did he touch you?"
Kilian recognized the look in Dante's eyes and shook his head.
"It was business, Dante."
Kilian was getting annoyed, even if they had been intimate and close, it did not mean he belonged to Dante.
"I mean Lord Rayden, I saw him take you away, what did he say to you?"
There was a bit of desperate panic hidden in the tone, and Kilian pushed back at Dante's chest to get him off.
"Dante, it is none of your business."
The chest didn't budge just as Rayden's hadn't.
Kilian waited.
But unlike Rayden who had stepped away, Dante only moved down closer, his body covering for any escape attempt Kilian might try.
"Dante…Get off me." Kilian was now serious and had considered using his power to push Dante off as he had before.
Dante leaned down further sniffing at Kilian's lips.
"You drank too…"
Dante then let out the tip of his tongue licking Kilian's lips, the motion turning into a kiss.
Kilian was torn not knowing what to do, his hands still pressed up against the chest that kept getting closer.
Something ripped Dante away from Kilian, though Kilian had not used his powers to do so.
He was still unsure how to deal with this Dante, who seemed to have lost himself somehow.
Rayden had grabbed and pulled Dante away from Kilian, and the two were staring each other down.
"That is not how a knight should serve his Master."
The contempt in Rayden's voice was clear, and even Dante had to look away.
Kilian could finally breathe and sat up, glaring at the two men.
'I really screwed up.'
He knew it was his fault for flirting and wanting more, but he was used to behaving like that at the gay bars in his old world.
Not to be frivolous, but because sometimes, it was not about finding some kind of great love, but just having a good time with a compatible partner.
'Ugh, they are so sensitive here.'
Still, his chest was somehow relieved that Rayden had showed up, he wasn't sure if he would have let Dante seduce him or not, but at least now he did not have to make the choice.
He already dreaded the time he would have to tell his most loyal friend that all that they were both exploring was just lust, and not to confuse it with love.
At least he had never really experienced what love was, but it did not seem to be it.
'I really am the worst for having started this.'
"Enough," he finally said, and the two grown men who had been struggling looked back at Kilian in surprise.
"He was forcing you." Rayden retorted. As an excuse for his actions.
Kilian pointed to the door and simply said.
"Leave."
Dante did not seem to want to leave, and Rayden did not seem to want to let Dante stay with Kilian alone.
"Both of you leave!"
Kilian repeated, raising his voice, and his eyes were staring them down with a menacing look.
When none of them seemed to move, he then addressed Dante.
"I trust you with my life, but I do not belong to you!"
Then he looked at Rayden.
"You only like my looks, you barely knew me before you confessed, you are no different than any of the other nobles out there eating me up with their stares."
Both men had widened their eyes, dumbfounded at the words and angry tone in Kilian's voice.
Rayden cleared his throat, but since none of them had moved to leave, Kilian then took his cane and walked out.
"You can play with each other."
The door shook as Kilian slammed it shut behind him, but the sound did not alert anyone near, as the ball was still going strong.
'I might as well have a good time, while I am here.'
He thought pushing away his bad mood, and kept up a smile, approaching a group of young nobles.
The ladies in the group squealed as he joined, and all eyes were on him.
"I am Kilian Valen, and who might this be?"
He bowed and gestured to a young lady he had seen as one of the few female heirs from the war council.
"Lady Ashite Margrave." Kilian bowed politely, hoping it was the correct etiquette he had chosen.
However, no one criticized the action and he smiled and introduced himself to the rest.
As a higher ranking noble they could not speak until he had introduced himself to them, and he at least knew that.
A young man in the group with light brown hair slammed Kilian's shoulder like they were suddenly best buddies.
"I would think Alan should be afraid of this one, young Lady Margrave."
Kilian looked at the cheery man who stood next to him now.
"Alan?"
There was only one Alan, that Kilian knew.
創作者的想法 
Rain_Corn
Rain_Corn I wanted to let the readers know Kilian knows his behavior with Dante doe snot fit into the society he is in, and how it might have confused Dnate.
Still - Dante my boy, a no is a no, don't get carried away. I hope he wakes up soon.
And Rayden, even if I root for you, why should Kilian trust your half-baked confession, when he barely knows you - win him over with actions, not words.
