"Mngh... Raleigh."
The soft velvety voice pierced the sultry atmosphere. The brunette boy was laid on the large maroon bed, squirming and panting. The raven-haired man was standing on the edge of the bed looking at the boy with a mean smirk on his face. The boy was breathing heavily with his swollen and bitten lips slightly open where warm breath escaped through it. His whole body was full of purple marks and bites making him look he was just ravished by a wild beast, a hungry one. That beast was none other than the raven-haired man who was narrowing his eyes as if he was hiding his darkest desires and admiring the boy.
"P-Please, Raleigh."
Ives said in a pleading tone. Why was king Raleigh just teasing him? King Raleigh smiled as he slightly bent and yanked those long brunette locks making Ives's head tilt back as king Ra
Let's pray for Ives's ass together. #SaveIvesass #prayforIvesass
The chirpings of the birds in the garden could be heard as the morning sun rays warmly embraced the entangled bodies in the bed. The large window was left open, and the white curtains were blowing gently, blocking those people's figures. The brunette boy was spooned by the raven-haired man, making them look adorable. Suddenly the brunette boy squinted his eyes because of the light and slightly raised his hand to cover his eyes. Ives was the one who woke up after falling asleep in the middle of doing because of tiredness. Ives tried to move slightly as King Raeligh's arms were tightly surrounding his waist, but his face became flushed when he noticed something very embarrassing. King Raleigh was still inside of him. Wait, did they fall asleep like this?! What the hell?!! He knew king Raleigh had cleaned him before sleeping as he was not feeling sticky and the room was also smelli
Lady Blaine angrily stared at Ives's disappearing figure. She then heard king Raleigh calling her for the first time after he returned. She looked at his highness who obviously looked pissed for disturbing his sweet time with Ives. She gulped in fear but she had to do what she had to. "Have a seat, lady Blaine." Lady Blaine nodded and sat next to his highness. "Have a cup of tea." King Raleigh told her. Lady Blaine gracefully poured a cup of tea from a kettle. "It's tasty." Lady Blaine said sipping jasmine tea. It really relaxed her stress and tension. "Um. It's made by Ives. He makes the best tea." King Raleigh said proudly after having a sip. Suddenly the tasty tea felt bitter in Lady Blaine's mouth. She unknowingly praised her enemy in front of her crush aka lover. She frowned for a while but later immediately smiled. "I can see. He is real
"His H-Highness, King Raleigh." Ives was shocked, his eyes wide open. He couldn't believe what he just heard. Maybe he heard a mistake. Ives grabbed Lady Blaine's shoulder, his fingers digging deeply. "W-What are you saying? You're j-joking right?" Lady Blaine winced in pain. How dare this insect touch her like this? She still controlled herself and made her face sad, immediately managing to fake tears. "I'm not lying. It's true. Maybe his highness will tell you later." The colours on Ives face all faded away, making him look pale and white. His mind was blank. He couldn't think anything as he began to tremble. Millions of questions were running inside his head but he couldn't voice those out as if something was stuck in his throat making him hard to speak. "What the hell is lady Blaine saying? Is she really Raleigh's fiance? Wait.... did Raleigh lie to me? But why? He already had such a beautiful fiance and still... Why did he bring me here then? What is he planning
Ives ran to their bedroom as fast as he could. Tears were falling from his eyes as he was running. He just wanted to escape from king Raleigh. He was betrayed and lied to so badly by King Raleigh and it was the first time somebody did this to him. It wasn't the fact that king Raeleigh lied to him to make him mad. It was the feeling of betrayal he just couldn't seem to shake. Moreover, it was done by his dearest person made it seem worse. Why? As soon as Ives entered, he locked the room from inside and lay on the bed as if his body lost all energy. He had never cried like this before. Was it this that his father had been trying to tell all the time? But he himself was so lost in king Raleigh's love that he didn't give any double thoughts to his father's words. King Raleigh and lady Blaine, were meant to be together from the start, he was the one who came in middle. These thoughts were growing him in sorrow and self-hate. King Raleigh was about to follow Ives to the palace but was
King Raleigh was now in his study room walking back and forth full of restlessness and anxiety. Both hands were clutched tightly as if he was trying to suppress all his negative emotions and his eyes sclera was red because of the anger. He didn't know how to explain everything to Ives without making him heartbroken. Both his throne and Ives were important to him but as a king, he loved his throne and kingdom more than anything. He had sacrificed a lot to get this gold throne and he couldn't lose it now. Both Ives and lady Blaine were necessary to him. One as a lover and one as a pawn. But now he had messed up everything because of anger. He must have coerced Ives lovingly and patiently to make him understand but he gave up on his anger. To make it worst, he slapped Ives because of his anger. He knew how delicate Ives's body was. Ives would easily get a mark on his body even if there was a slight hard press and now he had slapped him so hard. His cheeks must be swollen by now with
The next day, Ives ignored king Raleigh and didn't look at him at all. King Raleigh also understood and didn't talk with Ives. Now, King Raleigh was still in his study room with a face full of anger. He was angry at Ives moreover at himself for ignoring him. In frustration, he threw all the papers and kinds of stuff on the table to the floor. He thought about his action about why was he angry at Ives and why did he slap him. "Shit... It's not Ives's mistake at all. It's natural for him to be angry after being deceived. I would also be angry if he lied to me. I might be even worse. It is my fault for not telling him. But I was planning to tell him slowly after everything will be settled, not this early. Shit..." King Raleigh laid on the couch thinking about Ives. Ives looked so weak and frail after he slapped him. He knew Ives was disappointed w
Meanwhile, at Sheerwood's mansion, lady Blaine and lord Nedes were sitting on the couch enjoying a wine. Lady Blaine had successfully managed to create trust issues between them and now the uncle and niece pair were celebrating it. Lord Nedes patted her head and smiled pleasingly. "You did well, Blaine." Lady Blaine smirked and said, "That was an easy job, uncle. Who knew that Ives would be so softhearted once if you spoke to him nicely. It was so torturing for me to talk with him." "You did a good job by tolerating him. See now the result of it. It's so satisfying." Lord Nedes said taking a sip. "Yeah but what about you uncle. What are you planning?" Lord Nedes smiled and said, "I'll tell you later but everything is going according to what I have planned." "You can do anything to that insect but you aren't allowed to harm h
King Raleigh was sitting on his throne glaring at everyone present in the court. Recently his mood has always been worse but now it had turned worst. The two figures can be seen kneeling on the floor. King Raleigh sighed and said, "Tell me in detail."One of them spoke, "Your highness, everything was going alright--but suddenly we were attacked and it looked like someone had leaked our info. It may take much longer time than the commanders had estimated." "How could that happen?" King Raleigh asked furrowing his eyebrows. "Those bandits were more stubborn and powerful than we had thought and they had lots of resources and ammunition for the war. It looked they were getting support from someone more powerful."King Raleigh was silent for a while and said, "Who is so powerful in the northern border?" "We are also currently investigating, your highness. Because of that attack, we suffered a little

The warm winter morning with the gentle rays of the sun was covering the whole Raven kingdom. The kingdom was nuzzling with the citizens doing their own works. With their new king, His Highness Satchell Kains, there was some change in the Raven kingdom. His highness was very intelligent and was sure he would take the kingdom to a new height and make it even more powerful. Everyone was happy and satisfied. On the other side of the capital far away from the civilizations, King Raleigh had prepared everything for his marriage with Ives. He was feeling like it was a dream. Just a few years ago, he was mourning for Ives's death and was alone but now he was marrying the love of his life, his angel. King Raleigh was really gr
It took four days for king Raleigh to get well. He was suffering from a high fever with a common cold and some symptoms of frost bite were on his fingers and toes. Ives was grateful that king Raleigh didn't suffer from pneumonia at this state. Ge was unconscious for the whole four days. Ives always fed him medicines and stayed by his side checking king Raleigh's temperature from time to time. Under Ives's meticulous care, king Raleigh's condition got better and better. Finally, on the fifth day, king Raleigh showed some signs of waking up. Oliver had also left the house to go to the city for his job. So, Ives and king Raleigh were the only ones present in the house. When King Raleigh woke up, his head was still aching and was feeling dizzy. He looked around and saw none
The sun had already risen when Ives and his father, Oliver got ready to set off back to their home. Their home where they had been staying forever. Their own small paradise, surrounded and hidden deep in the mountains. The land free from the stains of the filthy world. The place where Ives's innocence and purity were left behind. They were ready. The king, the queen of the Wallace were sad but they had to let go. Ives had been staying with them for more than six months and were attached to him. Princess Rosanne was the saddest among all of the people. She had truly loved Ives. It was not some childish crush nor puppy love. Ives had really captured her heart. It was hard for her to see Ives leaving but still, she had to let go. She went towards Ives and said, "Bye, bye. I'll definitely not remember you." &nb
Ives was unconscious and was sweating, twitching his eyebrows. King Raleigh was holding Ives's hands all the time like it was the last straw in his life. He was also wiping away Ives's sweat from his face from time to time. Ives was unconscious for a day. It was finally the next morning when Ives slowly opened his eyes. Seeing Ives opening his eyes, King Raleigh who was resting on a couch near to him rushed over to Ives's side excitingly and asked, "Ives, are you alright?" By this time Ives had already recovered his lost memories. So, seeing king Raleigh after opening his eyes made him both surprised and bitter. He turned away his face not wanting to look at king Raleigh and asked, "What are you doing here, Raleigh?"
The new was starting. It was finally the day of engagement of Princess Rosanne and Ives. Before that day, Ives had tried his best not to think about that strange yet familiar man. He always stayed around princess Rosanne so that his mind would be occupied wouldn't wander off somewhere. It is said that the empty mind is the house of the devil. So, he was always around her as if he was trying to compensate her. King Raleigh also returned back to the Raven for some time to recover after receiving such shock. He had also received a message from Prince Satchell to return as the matter was very urgent. He thought it was better to leave instead of getting hurt. Ives was finally happy and was moving on. What could he do? He was stuck in between wanting Ives to remember him and was also afraid of his hatred. He also didn't have enough
Ives and Princess Rosanne returned back to the palace. Both of them were silent with their insecurities hidden inside their hearts on the way back making the ride silent. Ives was confused by his behaviour he showed back there himself. When he had seen that unknown man with a mask his heart was racing faster. He had forgotten about everything around him and was only looking at that man for a while. But remembering now why did he feel like he had seen that man somewhere before? But he hadn't seen that man's face but his instinct was screaming he must have known him somewhere before. Those thin lips felt too much familiar to him. Why was his heart beating anxiously? Why did the tears fall from both of their eyes? As soon as Ives came back to the palace, he directly went to his room after sending princess Rosanne off. Princess Rosanne
As soon as king Raleigh found Ives, he felt like he lost him too. He wanted to keep that sand so much with him that he clutched it so tightly he ended up losing it through the small gaps of his fingers. After such a long search, he had finally found his Ives but he felt like Ives was far from him. Too far to close off that wide distance. His Ives was actually marrying someone else. Someone other than him. He didn't want to believe it but all the evidence were in front of him. It wasn't a good feeling. He wanted to believe that wasn't his Ives but those features which those girls described fitted all of Ives's features perfectly. He was filled with sadness and jealousy. He finally knew how Ives had felt when he was going to marry Lady Blaine. King Raleigh had the taste of his own medicine and god... it was bitter. &nbs
King Raleigh had been travelling alone on his horse now for two weeks. He was searching for Ives everywhere he reached. He used to travel the whole day and rest at night. He would sometimes sleep in inns and sometimes outside. After getting tired for a whole day, he would sleep with the memories of Ives. The fact that Ives may be alive somewhere was keeping him going desperately. He was wearing normal black pants and a white shirt with a cravat. He wore a long cloak that hid his face so none could see his face and know he was the king. He travelled across rivers, hills, cities, towns but still couldn't get any signs of Ives. He used to ask every people he met but still, there was not any progress. It was always a failure. Sometimes fear kept welling from his heart thinking the god may not want him to meet Ives. Every night he used to have a nightmare of Ives being happy without him.
