The man looked at Ethan, his gaze softening slightly but still hiding his cruelty.

"Fine, everything will depend on you, but only if you please me tonight," he said, his voice commanding.

With that, the man bent down and removed the iron chains from Ethan. The young man immediately collapsed onto the floor, his body exhausted and powerless. The man lifted him, carrying him gently to the bed as if he were handling a precious item.

"Father, forgive your unworthy son for failing to uphold the family's honor," Ethan whispered, closing his eyes. Tears of humiliation and endurance streamed down his cheeks, glistening in the weak candlelight.

Julian stood there, feeling a chill run down his spine. He couldn't move, couldn't speak, only able to watch the cruel scene unfold before him. His heart pounded, each word from the man stabbing into his soul, unable to believe this was how humans treated each other.

Julian jolted awake, sweat pouring down his forehead. He sat up, gasping for breath, feeling like he had just experienced a horrifying nightmare.

"What the hell? Why did I have such a strange dream?" Julian muttered to himself, trying to calm down.

Images of Ethan, the pitiful young man in his dream, kept flashing in his mind, as if he had lived through every moment of humiliation and pain. The scene in the dream was too vivid and somewhat familiar.

"That's it, it's Liam Brooks' script." He vaguely realized that the dream wasn't just a random nightmare but was closely related to Ethan's story in the script "The King's Lover."

"Could reading the script have haunted me?" Julian wondered. He took a deep breath, trying to steady himself.

He looked at the clock, it was only 5 a.m. Unable to go back to sleep, he decided to change his schedule a bit to lift his spirits: a motorcycle ride to enjoy the fresh air.

Julian Pierce quickly got dressed and prepared his essentials. He put on a leather jacket, stylish jeans, his helmet, and mounted his favorite motorcycle.

"Let's go, baby!" Julian said to his bike, flashing a bright smile.

He started the engine and sped out of the house. The cool morning breeze hit his face, making him feel refreshed and exhilarated. The streets were still empty, and the first rays of dawn began to appear, adding to the beauty of the surroundings. The road ahead was wide open, the spaciousness giving him a sense of freedom and ease. As he left the city, the strong wind blowing against his face made all his worries seem to vanish. Julian accelerated, feeling the adrenaline surge through his body. The deserted road echoed with the sound of the engine in the peaceful suburban landscape.

Suddenly, a truck appeared from a nearby turn, speeding towards him. Julian was startled and tried to swerve, but it was too late. The screech of brakes filled the air as his bike skidded across the road.

After the loud "B A N G," his body was thrown off the bike.

Julian hit the ground hard, pain spreading throughout his body. His motorcycle rolled multiple times before coming to a stop, with pieces scattered everywhere. Bystanders quickly gathered around the accident scene. They saw Julian lying motionless on the ground, blood flowing from a wound on his forehead.

"Call an ambulance, quick!" someone shouted, phone in hand.

The sound of sirens grew louder as the ambulance arrived. Paramedics quickly administered first aid to Julian. They placed him on a stretcher and loaded him into the ambulance. One of them checked his pulse, looking worried:

"He's alive, but very weak. We need to get to the hospital quickly!"

On the way to the hospital, Julian remained unconscious. Disjointed memories played in his mind, from his meeting with Liam Brooks to the moment of the accident. It was like a slow-motion film, with images intertwining continuously. Everything around him became blurry, sounds fading away. Before losing consciousness completely, he heard a distant voice:

"Julian Pierce, are you Ethan Caelan?"

A blinding light appeared, and everything around him turned white. Julian tried to open his eyes but couldn't fight the overwhelming fatigue. In that moment, he sensed a strange shift in the environment.

A chilling sensation enveloped him, as if he were falling into another world. Blurry images appeared before him, unfamiliar faces, and mysterious voices. He felt like he was being pulled into an entirely unfamiliar space, unable to resist.

When Julian opened his eyes, the pain was still there, and he looked around. The unfamiliar surroundings revealed themselves. He was lying on a large bed with elaborate curtains, in a room decorated in a classic royal style.

"Am I on a film set?" He tried to sit up but felt weak and strange.

"Your Highness, you are awake!" a worried voice exclaimed. Julian turned to see two young men in ancient soldier uniforms standing beside the bed, their faces showing relief.

"Where… where am I?" Julian asked, still bewildered.

"Your Highness, do you not remember? You had an accident while riding a horse on a hunt," the younger guard said, his eyes full of concern.

"Riding a horse on a hunt, not a motorcycle?" Julian asked, his eyes filled with confusion.

The older guard looked at Julian, his eyes showing deep concern. "Your Highness, how are you feeling?" he asked.

"I'm… I'm fine, just a bit of a headache," Julian replied, trying to remain calm.

"Who are you two?"

The younger guard was surprised but responded quickly: "I am Leo Grant, and this is Reed Jace. Do you not remember?"

"Reed Jace and Leo Grant…" Julian repeated, his eyes unfocused. "This is so strange…"

The two guards exchanged worried looks. "Your Highness, do you remember anything about the accident?" Reed Jace asked.

"Not clearly… But why do you call me Your Highness?" Julian asked, trying to piece everything together.

"Your Highness, you are Prince Ethan Caelan of Aria," Leo Grant explained.

"Ethan Caelan… Prince…" Julian muttered, trying to recall.

"So… the people in my dream… talking about Reed Jace and Leo Grant… were you two?"

The two guards looked at each other, surprised.

"Your Highness, do you really not remember anything?" Reed Jace asked, his voice full of worry.

"No… I had a strange dream… But it’s probably nothing," Julian tried to reassure himself and the two guards.

Julian Pierce closed his eyes, trying to understand what was happening.

"Surely I'm dreaming. I'll wake up in a bit," he thought.

    After a while, Julian opened his eyes and saw the two guards still standing there, their worried expressions unchanged."Am I still not out of this dream? Well, I might as well play along with it.""Come on, don't worry too much. I'm feeling fine," Julian said, trying to reassure them."Your Highness, do you need anything? Should we call the royal physician?" Leo Grant asked."No need, I just need to rest a bit," Julian said, smiling slightly."This is too strange. A dream like this is too real," he thought."But it’s interesting, let's see what I can do in this dream."He sat up and looked around the room."Is this a palace? It's even more beautiful than on a film set. You said your names are Reed Jace and Leo Grant, right?""Yes, Your Highness, I am Reed Jace, and this is Leo Grant," Reed replied, his eyes still filled with concern."Reed Jace, Leo Grant...

Their benevolent beauty and regal aura seemed to illuminate the entire room.

You’ve just recovered; let me have a good look at you." As she spoke, the Queen gently guided Ethan back to his bed to rest.The King nodded, his gaze stern

    Ethan struggled to remain calm, but his voice trembled more and more. He couldn't accept the terrifying prospect awaiting him. His eyes filled with tears, brimming with pain and pleading."The journey is long and perilous—can I even survive to reach there? There are countless traps in a foreign land; I could be falsely accused, harmed, tortured to death. My whole life, I would only be a slave to the royal family of Helios. This journey offers me only two paths: humiliation or death."He choked on his words, almost suffocating in the intensity of his emotions. Ethan knew he was not just begging for his life but also for the compassion of the father he revered. His heart surged with a sense of helplessness and despair."Father, I am also a prince, your son. How can you let me live in disgrace, trampled by the royal family of Helios? How can you abandon me like this?"Ethan's words pierced the king's heart like daggers, each sentence laden with fear and indignation. He hoped, even a litt

    Sebastian added enthusiastically:“That’s right, big brother isn’t wrong. Not only in the military, but he also reformed politics. Valerius Evander reduced taxes for the people, encouraged trade and commerce. Thanks to that, the people's lives improved significantly, and their trust in the court increased.”Nathaniel nodded, continuing:“Moreover, he promoted culture, arts, and education. Talents are valued regardless of their background. Those who are corrupt and bribe are severely punished without mercy.”Ethan listened attentively, sensing the strength and decisiveness of Valerius Evander. Sebastian cautiously added:“Although these policies have greatly benefited Helios, it’s undeniable that Valerius Evander is extremely brutal in conquering neighboring countries. Those who refuse to cede land or pay tribute are mercilessly annexed.”After finishing the story about Helios, Nathaniel looked directly into Ethan’s eyes, his voice slow but filled with deep concern.“Ethan, no matter w

    Cassian bowed his head and continued, “When I was an envoy to Aria, I had the honor of meeting the fourth prince several times. His reputation is well-deserved. His beauty surpasses that of the paintings, his demeanor as if he were a celestial being.”Valerius smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. “More beautiful than my concubines?”Cassian smiled gently, his tone respectful. “Your Majesty, Prince Ethan Caelan, when riding a horse, exudes heroic spirit; when playing the lute, his demeanor is unmatched; when playing chess, he is sharp and intelligent. Is there any woman in this world who can compare?”Valerius laughed heartily, but a deep contemplation was evident in his eyes. “It makes me want to meet him. But what use is an Aria prince to Helios? Bringing him here would be inviting trouble.”Cassian remained undeterred, smiling faintly as he responded, “Your Majesty, true talent knows no gender or origin.

Shortly after, she was taken to the palace to become a consort."Ethan listened intently:"Do you know what happened to my mother after that?"Raphael shook his head, his eyes reflecting his sadness."After she entered the palace, we never saw each other again. She never returned to visit my master. Two years later, I received news of her sudden death. This news devastated my master and everyone at the academy."Ethan felt the deep sorrow in Raphael's words.Silence enveloped the room. Ethan felt his heart grow heavy.

    Ethan Caelan also understood that he had no way to escape Valerius Evander at this moment, nor could he accept the kind of love between men that Valerius spoke of."So… even if I were to die, I can never return to my world?" Ethan thought, despair casting a shadow over him like a suffocating fog.Closing his eyes, he tried to piece together the fragmented memories from his dreams—his mother, lifetimes of suffering, the curse, Valerius Evander, Lucian Evander. They all felt like scattered shards of a puzzle, chilling him to his core." Lucian Evander … the Four Heavenly Dragons… those noblemen… What connection do they have to me? I need to start by understanding them."Ethan struggled to rise from the bed. He had been lying still for far too long. The moment his trembling feet touched the ground and he attempted to stand, his body collapsed onto the cold floor."My legs… why can’t I feel my legs?" Ethan exclaimed, panic lacing his voice.Hearing the commotion inside, Henry Thorne rushe

    Lucian’s eyes roamed hungrily over Ethan’s flawless, ivory skin, flushed with an enticing hue that only fueled his desire to conquer. "Look at this… seems like Prince Ethan of Aria is craving me as much as I want him…" Lucian murmured, pressing his lips to Ethan’s collarbone, tracing down to his chest. "Little beauty… I’ll make you feel so good…"“No!... Let me go…” Ethan cried out, trembling.“Let you go? It’s an honor for you to be used by the Four Dragons,” sneered the crimson-moled man. “We don’t often share, you know. You should be grateful we're making an exception for you.”The group of men closed in, circling Ethan. "Aaa… get away! Don’t... don’t touch me…” Ethan struggled, his cries growing desperate."Ethan!... Ethan!... wake up!” A familiar voice cut through his torment, yanking him back to reality from his horrifying nightmare.Ethan’s eyes shot open, his whole body shaking.

    "Hahaha... resisting only makes you more beautiful, little beauty." He forced Ethan into a rough kiss, one hand gripping him tightly, the other pressing his jaw to force Ethan's mouth open. Seizing the opportunity, he plunged his tongue into Ethan's mouth, invading every corner.Disgusted, Ethan summoned all his strength to bite down hard on the man's tongue, shoving him away. "Get lost!"Interrupted unexpectedly, the dimpled man pulled back in pain, wiping blood from his mouth and snarling, "You filthy whore, you dare bite me?!" He slapped Ethan hard across the face twice: "Smack! Smack!" The blows sent Ethan crashing to the floor, his cheeks immediately swelling with the imprint of five fingers. Dizzy, he tried to open his eyes, but his vision was blurring."Quite the prize indeed, even his kiss has a hefty price," the man with the high forehead commented with amusement.Lucian smirked, watching Ethan.

Gently, he pulled Ethan closer, holding him tenderly in his arms.Ethan trembled in Valerius’s embrace, torn by the contradiction within him.

The curse of vengeance followed him through each life.Ethan looked at the scenes of his tragic past, feeling as though hundreds of arrows pierced his heart, leaving him gasping in agony. “Mother… I don’t want to continue anymore. I want to return to my true life, as Julian Pierce.”Victoria shook her head, her eyes filled with tears. “Julian? Look again.”The mist shifted, revealing the blurry image of Julian Pierce at a party, flashes of cameras in his face, deafening music pounding in his ears.

He walked unconsciously along an endless path, with no sense of direction or end.Around him, fragmented images flickered—one moment it was him, Ethan, committing suicide in despair, another was Julian Pierce leaping from the top of a corporate high-rise, and another was a young general being executed. These seemed like his past lives, each marked by tragedy.

    “Could it be... that Valerius loves Ethan?” The thought struck Harrison like a sharp blade to the heart. Everything suddenly became crystal clear. The pieces of the puzzle fell into place in his mind: the night Ethan was assaulted by the Emperor—the same night Ethan had been with Harrison—the sudden imperial decree sending him off to quell the rebellion in Aria, the hostile look in Valerius’s eyes whenever he was near Ethan. It was all for one reason: Valerius Evander loved Ethan Caelan and wanted him all to himself.Valerius sat quietly by Ethan’s side, his once-cold eyes now filled only with regret and sorrow. He leaned down, his lips brushing lightly against Ethan’s icy forehead, feeling the chilling cold that had taken over. Only now, on the verge of losing the one he truly loved, did Valerius realize just how precious Ethan was to him, and how cruelly he had treated him."I was wrong... so wrong, Ethan...

Open your eyes and look at me!” Valerius pleaded, but only silence answered him.Doctor Henry Thorne was called urgently.

    He leaned down, his hot breath brushing Ethan Caelan's ear, his voice a hoarse whisper, "Can you feel it? My cum melting inside you." He smiled in delight, pressing his hand against Ethan’s lower abdomen, "Keep it all in, don’t let a drop spill. I still want to put more in you." Ethan lay helpless beneath Valerius Evander's large body. Every thrust sent sharp waves of pain through his lower body, and he lifted his tear-filled phoenix eyes, abandoning his pride, begging him: "Please, spare me... I can't take it anymore." Valerius unexpectedly paused, gazing into Ethan's once-brilliant, crystal-clear eyes, now clouded with a mist of sorrow. His porcelain skin, bruised and flushed from the torment, only made him more stunning—a beauty so captivating and alluring that it left Valerius spellbound. "How can you be so beautiful?"
