Chapter 55
“I… greet the Small Sun of the Empire.”
“We greet the Small Sun of the Empire!”
The nobles hurriedly bowed their waists.
However, even while doing so, they could not take their eyes off Caelus—or rather, the massive magic beast behind him.
‘A dragon.’
Еn̄u ma
‘Wow. It’s a dragon.’
Moreover, it had scales as white as snow. It was undoubtedly an Ice Dragon, a creature said to inhabit only the North.

‘Did he hunt a dragon as a gift for the birthday banquet?’
‘As expected of the Crown Prince….’
The nobles whispered under their breath.
“…….”

Leaving them behind, Caelus stepped forward without expression. Red bloody footprints formed on the carpet he passed over.
“I greet Father, the Emperor.”
Caelus’s feet stopped at the bottom of the stairs. He offered his greeting toward the Emperor.
“…Caelus.”

The Emperor’s face hardened coldly.
“What is the meaning of this impertinence?”

“My apologies, Your Majesty.”
Caelus glanced at his blood-soaked attire and bowed his head once more.
“I felt that if I did not come immediately, I would be late….”
“Where exactly have you been to end up in such a state?”
“…….”
Caelus was silent for a moment. Was it just an illusion that his gaze briefly turned toward Richard?

“……I have been to the North,” Caelus said, gritting his teeth.
“The North?”
“There was a matter to attend to. I apologize once again for my rudeness. And….”
The two knights following him pulled the iron chains with all their might. The carcass of the massive dragon was laid at the base of the stairs.
“This is a gift presented in honor of your birthday. It is nothing much, but I would be pleased if you would accept it.”
In the middle of the banquet hall, the shimmering dragon scales radiated an overwhelming presence.

‘……Nothing much?’
‘A dragon?’

The nobles’ mouths hung open. Just the eyes of that dragon would fetch millions of gold coins a pair, and a single scale held the value of a thousand pieces of gold. It possessed a truly astronomical value.
Contrary to the shocked reactions of the nobles, Laios did not even blink.
“Fine. I shall accept the gift.”
His voice was cold and low.

“Transport the gift.”
Ending with that command, the Emperor did not spare the dragon another glance.
“…….”
Caelus, likewise, showed no particular reaction.

“…….”
“…….”

The banquet hall was momentarily enveloped in a cold silence. But soon, people began to speak one by one, trying to lighten the atmosphere.
“What a truly magnificent dragon.”
“Indeed.”
Thalinos was no different.
“…So, Young Master Friedrich. About becoming my friend—”
It was just as he brought up the topic of friendship again.

“…….”
From a distance, Caelus began to approach.
“…….”
His red eyes were glaring precisely at Richard. As if he could kill him at any moment.
“…….”
Richard recalled the final encounter in the North.

['See you in the capital, darling.']
…Right. He did say that.

“Young Master Friedrich.”
Caelus, who had reached Richard before he knew it, spoke in a chilling voice.
“Let’s have a word.”
“……”

The red eyes were burning more coldly than ever before.
“……Your Highness, I….”
Just as Richard was trying to devise a way to escape.
“Brother, Young Master Friedrich was speaking with me first.”

Thalinos smiled thinly and blocked the path between Richard and Caelus.
“……?”

Richard blinked his eyes. Thalinos gave a wink toward Richard.
“…….”
Caelus’s eyebrow twitched.
“…I have an important matter.”
“I also have an important matter with Young Master Friedrich,” Thalinos shot back nonchalantly.
“…….”

Caught between them, Richard let out a hollow laugh.
‘Dammit.’
One guy I stabbed in the back recently and another guy who suddenly insists on being friends. No matter who I choose, it’s the worst.
“I, I am….”
After much agony, Richard looked toward Daphne.
“Talking with Lady Daphne….”
Ё ň ū ḿ а̌
Just as he was slinking away toward Daphne.
“You should have something to say to me.”

Caelus, with a frigid face, took a step toward Richard. Richard stepped back with a forced smile.
“No, I have nothing to say….”
“A pity.”
Swish—!
Еnû ma_.і̊ d̂
His wrist was caught in Caelus's grip.
“What are you doing…!”
“Because I have quite a lot to say.”
He pulled Richard’s wrist forcefully and strode across the banquet hall.

“Wait, let go…!”
“…….”

Caelus did not listen to Richard’s words. Instead, he only dragged him more roughly.
Creak—
With his other hand, Caelus opened the terrace door. Just like that, the two disappeared onto the terrace together.

“Oh my….”
“As expected, those two are…….”

In the banquet hall where the two had vanished, the nobles began to cover their mouths and whisper.
“I wonder what they are talking about?”
“Could it be… a proposal?”
One noble lady clasped her hands together, her eyes sparkling.
“Oh, come now, would it really be a proposal?”
“But why else would they talk alone if not for a proposal?”
Е̄ nû_m̊ а́ . і̄d̂
“It’s only natural to want to be alone when you’re in love!”
The nobles began to spout all sorts of things regarding Caelus and Richard.

“Honestly, I support the two of them.”
The lady who had mentioned the proposal spoke in a lowered voice.
“Aren’t they both handsome? If he’s not going to be mine anyway, wouldn't it be better if those two worked out?”
“Th-that might be true….”
Е́ nŭm̃а̃
Several ladies nodded their heads hesitantly at those words.
“Come to think of it, Lady Beatus has a connection with both of them.”
One lady slunk over to Daphne and asked.
“Do you know anything, My Lady?”

Another lady added curiously.
“That’s right. Do you happen to know how those two ended up in that kind of relationship?”

“…….”
Daphne stroked her cheek while gazing at the terrace door where the two had disappeared.
“……Mm. Well….”
Her pale green eyes, quiet enough to take one's breath away, settled as if sinking into a deep abyss.
“I’m not quite sure.”
A vivid wind drifted in through the gap in the terrace door.

Bang!
Upon reaching the terrace, Caelus grabbed both of Richard’s wrists and pinned him against the wall.
“You’ve pulled a rather amusing stunt.”
“…….”
He scowled chillingly.

“Even stealing the fruit and running away.”
“…….”

Richard, pushed against the cold wall with both arms raised, trembled slightly as he lifted the corner of his mouth.
“Stealing… you say.”
“…….”
“Even if your mouth is crooked, you should speak straight.”
Еn̈ ûm̆а̂
The water-colored eyes held a distorted light.
“You’re the one who stole it; it was mine originally.”
“Ha.”
Caelus laughed coldly.

“Have you decided not to hide it anymore?”
He applied strength to the arms gripping Richard’s wrists.

“…….”
Richard’s wrists shook violently.
“The fact that you hate me.”
“Well… I wonder.”
Richard replied with a mocking shrug of his shoulders.
“At least, when it’s just the two of us… there’s no reason to hide it, is there?”

“Ha. Right. Is that so.”
Caelus’s eyes contorted.
“How can you wag your tongue so recklessly when you don't know what I might do to you right now?”
“What are you going to do?”
Richard looked up at Caelus and smirked.
“Are you going to violate me or something?”
Еnů m а̌
He closed his eyes leisurely. As if telling him to go ahead if he was going to do it.
“Do it.”

“……Ha.”
“I said, go ahead and try.”
Richard thought as he provoked him. Anyway, Caelus le Regnantia can't do it. Unless he’s gone mad, how could he? He doesn't like men any more than I do—
It was then.

“Fine, if you desire it so much.”
Grit, the sound of teeth grinding echoed in his ears. And then.
“……!”
Both his wrists were pulled forward with an unfamiliar speed. His center of gravity tilted as if collapsing in an instant. He tried to pull back in a hurry, but Caelus was faster, throwing him over the railing with powerful force.

As his chest hit the rough marble of the terrace, a cold sensation seeped down his spine like a shiver. A voice flowed out as if his breath was caught in his throat.
“…W-wait, hold on…!”
Ẅ ѐ b̈n о v̌é_l Е n̂ úm̌ ā
Then, from right behind him, Caelus’s low voice, mixed with mockery, cut through his skin.
“Why is that?”
A shadow pressed close from behind, looming over Richard’s head.
“After you were so keen to tell me to try.”
