Chapter 45

Though he must have felt his own change, the knight diligently followed orders and removed the prince's pants.

"..."

Golden eyes stared intently at the erection straining against the underwear. If he had been in his right mind, he would have told him not to stare, but his body, heated with desire, took even that gaze as stimulation.

"Hurry and take them off..."

A cracked voice whispered. Hearing that voice, for some reason, he felt a hot sensation pooling in his lower abdomen. It was an unfamiliar feeling, but Helio prioritized the order rather than focusing on the unnamed sensation.

The knight bowed his head and finished removing the underwear.

Thwack!

"Ah."

Helio blinked, letting out a low moan. It was a surprisingly calm reaction for someone who had just been slapped in the face by an erection springing out of underwear.

"Hngh!"

Rather, it was the prince who shuddered as if burned. The sudden stimulation to his genitals was too much for his sensitive body. With each ragged breath, his sculpted muscles moved like living creatures.

As he watched the prince trembling slightly from excitement, Helio wiped his cheek with the back of his hand. A moist liquid came off.

"Your Highness, there's too much fluid coming from your genitals. Is this normal?"

It was an innocently naive question, unfitting to ask before an aroused alpha.

"Could it be a side effect of the drug?"

The question was filled with concern, and even the prince, who was barely holding onto a thread of reason, felt obligated to tell him not to worry. 'Though the cause is indeed the drug, the symptom itself is perfectly natural. Everyone's genitals become erect and release fluid when aroused,' he would have said.

He might have answered that way if a hand hadn't suddenly reached out and grasped his genitals.

"Hah!"

Clank!

The prince swallowed a moan as his sensitive area was suddenly grabbed. The chains clashed against the metal post, making a loud noise.

Helio didn't remove his hand even as he saw the prince's startled eyes.

As others said, Helio was not an orthodox knight. The prince had always allowed Helio to speak his mind freely and even gave him permission to touch his body as he pleased. He had literally given him special treatment.

The favored knight, without any hesitation, grasped the prince's genitals and made his request.

"Your Highness, I think I can make mine stand too if I touch you... So I'll try this."

In Helio's mind, there was only the prince's order to 'make it stand first.'

The organ that had shown no reaction when he touched it himself responded when it touched the prince. So then...

The reason Helio was a quick learner was, above all, because he never hesitated to act. He immediately pressed his own genitals against the prince's. Unlike the prince's, which stood stiffly erect, Helio's was only half-hard.

Helio began to stroke both together with his large hand, applying what he had learned from the prince.

"Ah, no! Hngh! Wait!"

The prince shook his head violently. Though he appeared skilled on the outside, this was actually his first experience too. For the prince, who had always suppressed himself with suppressants even during ruts, stimulation from another person was too intense.

He wanted to push away, yet also wanted to pull closer, eliminating any gap between them.

Bang! Bang!

As if revealing the prince's confused desires, the chains bound to the post clashed repeatedly, making countless harsh sounds.

"Hah."

Helio looked at the prince, who had buried his face in his shoulder. He felt his shoulder becoming damp with what might have been sweat or tears.

"Huu..."

Feeling the hair tickling his cheek, Helio took a deep breath. Was it because of the heat? The prince's body scent was stronger than usual. Someone had said the prince's pheromones smelled like trees in a deep forest. It was a scent Helio, being a beta, could never smell in his lifetime.

Suddenly, Helio wondered if that scent was better than the body odor coming from the prince now. He couldn't believe there could be anything better than this.

"Your Highness..."

As Helio's hand moved faster, the body in his arms grew hotter as if melting. As if that heat was contagious, Helio's breath also became heated. His vision blurred.

Helio's organ was now fully erect, as if it had never been limp. It seemed like a lie that it hadn't responded no matter how much he touched it himself.

Sensation spread from where he touched the prince, as if a spark had caught fire. This wasn't the first time it had happened.

The prince had told Helio that there were several gods in this world. The gods had saved this world from darkness, shared light, and gave names to meaningless things, making them exist.

If so, wasn't the prince his god?

Before meeting the prince, Helio had been nothing. His world had been submerged in darkness, and he couldn't feel any sensations like joy or sorrow.

From the moment he met the prince, he began to exist in this world as if given the spark of life.

The one who saved him and gave him meaning.

My god...

"Ah!"

With an exclamation, white fluid spurted from the prince's genitals. A moment later, the same fluid flowed from Helio's organ as well.

Hah, hah... The prince breathed roughly, like someone who had been running. Helio stared, mesmerized, at the prince's shoulder blades moving up and down with each breath. His lower part was still standing firmly erect, as if unbelievable that he had just ejaculated.

"Your Highness, I've made it stand as you said."

"..."

"Please tell me what to do next. I'll follow."

The prince lifted his face from where it had been buried in Helio's shoulder. His pleasantly tanned skin still had a reddish glow from the lingering aftereffects of his climax.

Next... next, he said. Unlike usual, his mind was working slowly. Fortunately, it didn't take too long to recall the sexual knowledge he had learned from early education.

"If it's standing, you have to put it in."

"Where should I put it, Your Highness?"

"Where else."

The prince lay back from his sitting position... Is this really right? Even with his reason crumbled, it took courage to part his knees and spread his legs.

But there was no time for further hesitation. The prince spread his legs, recalling the position he had seen in textbooks.

"Here."

As he spoke, lightly pressing the opening with his fingertip, Helio's eyes trembled faintly as they focused on the perineum.

The knight's face grew serious as he examined his own genitals and where they were supposed to enter.

"...Your Highness, isn't that place too narrow? It can't possibly go in."

"It's alright, it's meant to go in all the way."

Though he replied confidently, the prince was actually anxious. The textbooks had certainly said it would go in, but seeing that unreasonable size, he couldn't easily be sure. Was it really possible?

'We'll know if we try.'

His mind, with its shortened thread of reason, didn't think too long. If he stretched it diligently, it should go in. The prince boldly inserted his index finger into the impatient opening.

"Hnn..."

A short moan escaped. It wasn't from excitement. Rather, he felt discomfort from the foreign sensation.

Frowning, he tried to somehow loosen the opening according to the knowledge in his head. However, the more his fingers stirred inside, the stronger the discomfort grew. The textbook had certainly said it would loosen up like this, so what was wrong? As he mechanically moved his fingers, he soon realized the reason.

Omegas were said to produce fluid down there to facilitate insertion. But there was no way his body had such a function.

Everything in this villa was prepared for getting through ruts. No matter how much he thought, he couldn't recall anything that could serve as lubricant.

"You'll hurt yourself."

Just then, a hand suddenly reached out and grasped the prince's wrist. The opening had become red and swollen from his hasty probing.

As if he himself were in pain, Helio carefully released the wrist he had grabbed, his eyebrows drooping.

"I'll do it."

"That's not the main problem. I'm not an omega, so I don't get wet down here."

He was about to say it wouldn't work after all, and to just go out.

"Does this place need to be wet?"

"Hik!"

The prince let out a high-pitched sound at the unbelievable sensation he felt down below. He almost kicked reflexively, but the knight simply caught his ankle, stopping him.

"Wh-what are you...! Hah!"

He couldn't continue speaking. It was because a thick tongue had firmly pushed its way inside.
