Chapter 586: 13.84

"If I can't have you for myself, then I will plunder everything I can, right here, right now!" 

Maximillien kissed Jean's lips aggressively, wanting to take everything from the pure Jean. His kiss was plundering, tasting Jean's lips, sucking, and he bit Jean's lower lips full of aggressiveness.

"Mmm!" Jean was struggling a bit, but he didn't want to hurt his big brother. So he allowed Maximillien to plunder everything in his lips and mouth.

Maximillien had stolen Jean's real first kiss. 

Maximillien glared at Jean, who got weak immediately, without any fight. And for some reason, he got even angrier. Thinking that such beautiful, pure body of Jean would be plundered by Raphael, that bandit dressed in white. 

"Are you this weak, Jean?"

"W—Wha!" Jean was dazed, especially when Maximillien suddenly clenched the collar of his suit and ripped shirt suit with one yank, exposing Jean's beautiful slim waist, smooth chest, and pearly white skin. 

Jean started struggling, not because he hated his big brother. But because he felt that something was wrong with his big brother. As if he suddenly abandoned all his love and sweetness to plunder and ruin Jean. 

This wasn't his beloved big brother that he admired at all.

"B—Big brother, please release me…."

Maximillien felt something wasn't right with him as well. He suddenly felt an uncomfortable feeling in his heart that had taken control of his body. But he didn't know what that was. 

It was like a bud that bloomed inside his heart and slowly overtaken his logic. He knew that Jean didn't want to get treated rudely, but he couldn't help it.

Especially when Jean reverted to calling him big brother instead of Maximillien, it ignited his anger. He grabbed Jean's wrist that tried to push him away. Maximillien's gaze darkened, and he smirked, "I thought you liked me, Jean."

"I—I do, but please not like this—AH!" Jean bit his lower lip when he felt the electrifying sensation on his neck and collarbone. Maximillien started kissing, sucking, and then nibbling on Jean's neck and collarbone, making kiss marks all over Jean's pure body. Because Jean had pearly skin, all the kiss marks only made him even more alluring. 

Maximillien licked his lips, "I am the first one to touch your skin, Jean."

Jean had lost all his strength to fight back. He was conflicted himself, he felt that his big brother's mood change was so sudden, and he became so rude and acted like a plunderer instead of a noble. 

Maximillien's pupils had turned pure black as he put his hand on Jean's waist, "Now let me taste—"

"STOP RIGHT THERE!" 

Maximillien and Jean saw Raphael flying towards them at high speed. He separated Jean and Maximillien by snatching Jean from Maximillien's embrace. Raphael attacked Maximillien with a holy blast to give a distance between them.

"Argh!" Maximillien was thrown away, but he quickly stabilized himself and stood straight on the water. He glared at Raphael, who was holding Jean right now.

"YOU!" Maximillien gritted his teeth. He was full of hatred for Raphael because that guy was why Jean was stuck in this unavoidable marriage. 

"WHY ARE YOU HERE?!" Maximillien yelled.

[Yeah! Why are you here!? I'm having my time here! Why are you cockblocking me, Raphael!]

[Pupa: You should be upset at Maximillien instead, not him.]

[I was about to get scored by Maximillien! Finally, I can have sex after so long, and Raphael ruined everything!]

Jean was stunned when Raphael suddenly appeared. He looked at Raphael's face and saw that he looked concerned at Maximillien.                                                                     

Thus, Jean glanced at his big brother and got even more surprised. 

Because Maximillien wasn't like the regular noble and cold archduke everyone used to see.

Maximillien looked rabid, gritting his teeth and glaring at Raphael as if he wanted to kill him. 

Jean knew that his big brother disliked Raphael, but it wasn't as severe that he wanted to kill his fiancee. 

"Big brother?" Jean tried to call his big brother, but it only angered Maximillien even more. Both Raphael and Jean could see the dark aura surrounding Maximillien. It was so thick that someone else that saw this might've assumed that Maximillien had a dark magic affinity. 

"W—What happened?" Jean asked. He got scared by the thick dark energy surrounding Maximillien.

Raphael frowned, and he tightened his vigilance by silently creating a light shield around them, "Your big brother has been infected with a dark sprout."

"Dark sprout?"

"It's a magic that can only be used by people with great affinity to dark magic. It's like a voodoo that has been planted long ago and will be triggered when with certain conditions."

"I suppose, Maximillien's disappointment triggered his dark sprout. What you see right now is not your big brother. He has been infected and cannot think straight," Raphael informed.

"W—Wha, who would do such terrible thing! Big brother is a nice ruler!" 

"I don't know. But one thing is for sure, this person has a great magic affinity for dark magic. We can call it a talent, I guess," Raphael replied. 

[It's totally Matthew.]

[Pupa: Totally.]

Jean got scared after hearing the explanation. He was also concerned with his big brother, "T—Then, what should we do with this? I don't want anything bad to happen with my brother!"

"We can subside the dark sprout. But it will bloom again at random times. We need to find the one behind this. Because it will be dangerous for Maximillien to keep the dark sprout for a long time."

"W—What would happen if we can't find the one who makes my brother like this?!"

"Maximillien will die, drowned by his own darkness."

Jean felt blood drained out of his body. He stared at his big brother in silence. He wanted to call his name but was afraid that it might trigger him even more. 

[Seriously though, how did my beautiful moonlight dance and moonlight sex suddenly turned into a mess like this!?]

[Pupa: Probably because someone is very jealous right now.]

[That damned kid always making trouble in every world. I wonder if he can just at least stay cute like Mamoru Ito or ZeroCheat.]

[Pupa: Probably because he realized that being loving and gentle with you will only lead to pain.]

Maximillien raised his hand, and the ground shook. He summoned five giant tentacles made out of water. One strike from that tentacle should be enough to kill them all in one hit. 

"Hand my Little Jean now. I need him," Maximillien demanded with a low, threatening voice. 

But Raphael didn't seem to falter. As the fearless saint, Raphael tightened his grip around Jean's body and challenged Maximillien, "He is my fiancee. I will never give him to you. Especially now, when you're nothing but a monster controlled by someone else!"

"You! You're the monster! Jean and I could have a beautiful life together if you didn't exist in the first place! You're nothing but a thief!" Maximillien yelled without restrain. It was very atypical compared to the usual cold Archduke Maximillien Eau Saumont. 

Maximillien growled and roared as he used one giant tentacle to attack Raphael, who was still holding Jean. 

"DIE!!"
