‘Crazy bastard.’

As soon as day broke, Richard spit out harsh words inwardly, feeling a pain in his waist that felt as if it were snapping.

Recalling the events of last night made goosebumps rise all the way to the top of his head.

‘Crazy male lead bastard…’

How could a person be like that… all night long…

“…”

The moment Richard’s brow was about to furrow deeply, a sharp gaze fell upon his forehead.

‘…’

Richard forced himself to relax his body, pretending to be asleep.

His tightly closed eyelids trembled faintly.

‘…So.’

If one were to ask how things ended up like this,

Well, things had gone wrong, terribly wrong.

Originally, he hadn't the slightest intention of sleeping with the damn Caelus.

He had only planned to drug him and frame the situation to look as though they had spent the night together…

‘…’

To think I actually spent the night with that bastard…!

And on top of that, that I was the one pinned underneath.

Richard bit his lower lip hard in indignation.

At that moment, the gaze pouring down on Richard’s forehead turned cold.

“Are you awake?”

“…”

…Damn it.

Richard rose from the bed, disheveled, while wearing a gentle eye-smile as if he had done nothing wrong.

Pleasantries aside, he had to proceed according to the plan first.

Because Richard had to seduce him.

“Yes, hyungnim. Good morn—”

“What did you do to me last night?”

Richard’s words couldn't reach their period.

It was because Caelus, looking down at him with a chilling gaze, cut him off without mercy.

Eyes as red as blood were fixed intently on Richard.

“…”

Richard’s lips twisted for an instant. His water-colored eyes held a crooked light.

“What do you mean, what did I do?”

Richard snapped back sarcastically.

“You pounced on me last night, Your Highness.”

Soon, Richard put on a deliberate, beaming smile.

If one were to ask if this was to offend the other party, the answer would be yes.

Asking what he had done. Strictly speaking, wasn't that the question he should be asking?

Richard was beyond displeased. If someone were to ask when the most miserable day of his forty-nine regressions was, it would be today.

He did not like men, and he certainly had no hobby of spending the night with them. Not only that, the person he hated most in the world was this man, Caelus le Regnantia.

He was the one who had stolen her away from Richard forty-eight times.

He had been topped by such a guy, so how could he not be displeased?

“…”

However, whether he was aware of Richard’s feelings or not, Caelus’s voice only grew deeper.

“You must have used some devious trick.”

Eyes devoid of laughter looked down at Richard. The unpleasantness was clearly visible in his distorted brow.

“…”

The curve of Richard’s smiling mouth stiffened slightly.

“I did not.”

“If I were in my right mind, would there be any reason for me to embrace you?”

Caelus quirked a single eyebrow. Then, he spoke.

“I dislike you.”

Richard shot back with a lingering smile. Since the feeling was mutual.

“I dislike Your Highness as well.”

The sharp gazes of the male lead and the sub-male lead intertwined in the air.

For a pair that had spent a passionate night together, the morning greeting between the two was nothing short of frigid.
