Chapter 8

Chapter 8

His voice sounded like music to my ears. I wanted to see his beautiful face again, even though I thought perhaps he wouldn’t want to show it to me out of shyness.

I moaned loudly, “Ahh… Camille… Camille… Ahhh…”

“Juya, do you… Ah… Is it okay for you… to do this kind of thing too? But you… are The Innocent One…”

His words made my body burn so hot that I was afraid I might lose consciousness. I knew what he was saying to me was all coming from a deep dark part of me, but I didn’t care. I answered him, which meant I responded to my own question.

“Of course, your highness… Of course… Sevan Camille… Whenever I am with you, I can’t help how I feel…”

“Then… do you think of me when… you touch yourself?””

“Yes, my prince. My prince… Ah… I, if you touch me there… like that… then… Ahh….”

“If Juya likes me too, then I will touch you.”

The sensation of his hands was so intense. My entire body felt wet and twisted. I couldn’t tell if I was holding onto him, or the other way around. We were entwined into one.

Lips on lips…

… Hands on each other’s secret sticky spots…

We were melting into one.

“Ahh…”

“Juya, I like you… You… you have been wanting to do this with me, right? They say the slaves in the faraway land do these things… Ahhh…. Were you secretly envious of them? W, would… Ahh… would you like to be my slave, Juya?”

“Yes, please… Ahh… Camille… Oh, yes…”

His whole body turned pink and he was panting. The prince’s scent drowned me, and I moved my hands and my hips faster. I felt a sudden and prolonged shock on my lower back. I knew it was coming…. I was about to….

Minurd was a paradise.

Ara’s Paradise…

Huh? Wait…

***

“… huh?”

When I flinched and woke up, I saw someone standing over me.

Wait a minute…

I felt a sudden fear that his highness might have witnessed my body’s shameful reaction to my dream, so I quickly covered myself. Thankfully, or unfortunately, the man who was standing in front of me wasn’t Prince Camille.

“Juya! Are you okay? You were talking in your sleep…”

It was Eriez, who looked somewhat surprised.

“Oh, yeah… I’m fine.”

I guess I was worried for nothing. I knew Eriez would never say anything, even if he witnessed what my body was going through. It was a dream… Just a dream… A delusion. It meant nothing.

I finally sat up and sighed deeply. The reality of it all finally hit me. The sweet pleasure I was feeling just a moment ago was now long gone.

I saw that it was dark outside now. Under the dim light, I found myself in my familiar room. The man standing in front of me was ready to explain to me what happened this evening.

“His highness contacted me and told me you fell ill and fell asleep in his quarters. Even after the sunset, you wouldn’t wake up, so he asked me to carry you to your own room. He said you were injured, but it was only a minor cut. Are you… really sick? Have you been pushing yourself too hard lately?”

“…”

I didn’t know the answer to his question. Was I really okay? Was I taking good care of my body? The fact that I just had a crazy dream… I had no excuse for it.

Suddenly, I felt some wetness underneath the blanket. I lifted it slightly, and the unpleasant yet familiar smell assaulted my nose. I knew exactly what just happened, so with a frown, I cursed quietly.

“Dammit… gosh… Dammit…”

Eriez turned around, cleaning up my room for me a little, but when he heard me, he spun his head around. He seemed to have realized what happened to me as well. Either he was a genius, or his sense of smell matched that of a dog.

Perhaps he heard me talk in my sleep.

After a short hesitation, he opened his mouth. “… By the way…”

I became nervous because he looked nervous.

“What?”

“Oh, I mean, I am not saying it’s wrong or anything… Of course not… But… Could it be that you and the prince… Did something… Is it that you like his highness.. or something? Like… fallen in love with him? Haha.”

Eriez stammered his guess, and he seemed to think that it was a ridiculous idea even as he blurted it out. I knew the best way for me to react was to roll my eyes at him.

“‘Fall in love with him?’ Are you serious?”

“I know, I know. But… I wouldn’t think it impossible to mistake his highness as a woman since he is still young without a beard and so beautiful. I mean… I wouldn’t blame you, but it would be a huge mistake.”

I considered him my real brother, but he was stepping over the line. I stopped myself from sighing and replied, “Mistake him for a woman? Eri, it sounds like it’s you who thinks of his highness as a girl. You are wrong about me. His highness is truly a perfect man. I know this, and I also know that he is a warrior… Other people may not realize this, but I do because I am the one who has turned him into one. I will continue to improve him into an amazing fighter.”

“Alright. Fine. Sorry I brought it up.”

I regretted it immediately, wondering if my words to Eri were too harsh, but he seemed okay because Eriez walked towards my bed and looked directly into my eyes. I think I would have felt better if he openly laughed at me and criticized me, but instead, he looked at me knowingly. He lifted the blanket slightly and gave me advice, “It’s all good, so before you go back to sleep, make sure you change into a clean cloth.”

“…”

“Do you think his highness is all man? A true warrior? Is that why you were calling out his name and having a wet dream? You were talking in your sleep, but the way you moaned was so loud and crazy…”

He giggled a little, and I wondered if he felt sympathy or disgust towards me. It seemed it was neither because Eriez came towards me and kissed me as we often did.

This was how we, The Innocent Ones, showed our brotherly love for each other.

Kiss.

“Ahh…”

My lips parted, and when our tongues met briefly, I trembled in embarrassment. I became breathless as I looked at his eyes to figure out what he meant by this.

However, it was impossible to read him.

Oh…

Was I talking in my sleep that loudly? How much did Eriez hear? How much did he understand?

Did he know my secret now?
