Libradon watched the man who had become his slave for a long time. 

While God Mervous' gaze never left the figure that resembled Goddess Earth, Libradon gave him a lopsided smile. 

Although Libradon was not sure what God Mervous' gaze actually meant, one thing he did know was that the man must have been in awe of the beauty of the woman at his side. 

"Welcome, chosen slave. I know you regret your actions."

Libradon said with both arms outstretched, his feet beginning to step down from his oversized chair. 

The man seemed to smile sarcastically as his eyes met God Mervous'. 

God Mervous deliberately returned the man's gaze as he heard his words that seemed to emphasize how mighty and powerful he was. 

"How does it feel to be in this magnificent palace, slave? Are you proud? Are you happy? You've never found a paradise like this before, have you?" 

Libradon gave God Mervous a sharp look. 

The man was momentarily taken aback when he realized that God Mervous was not the least bit afraid let alone daunted by such a stare from him. 

Based on his experience, out of the several slaves who had been his toys. Only God Mervous was much different from them. 

However, Libradon did not show that as much as possible. He wanted to see how far the man's defiant look would last. 

"Do you want to look like a God? Must I remind you, again? You are just a slave! Then act like a slave!" 

Libradon snapped. His emotions rose rapidly as he realized that God Mervous was not afraid of him at all. 

"So what if I'm just a slave? Do you feel superior to me? You only win because of the position you have. You have people protecting you. But what if you were alone? Would you be this brave?" replied God Mervous casually. 

There was not a single fear in his heart. Instead, he had prepared all the replies for the man. 

As Endrick had said, there would be no survivors of Libradon's punishment. 

If indeed God Mervous would find that it was because he could not fight back due to his lost strength. Then at the very least, he would defend himself. 

He would do whatever he thought was right. 

Libradon smiled wryly. His gaze continued to look down at God Mervous even though he was clearly being challenged by God Mervous. 

In addition, a figure similar to God Mervous' lover Goddess Earth also seemed to develop a smile that was so sweet to her. 

For the first time, she could see someone so bold. Even since arriving, the slave before her had not lowered his head at all.

"Interesting. Not what I imagined." The Earth Goddess-like figure then muttered quite quietly.

The woman was amazed at the courage of the slave before her.

"Teressa! Are you interested in his? Look at this ignorant slave. How dare she look at you like that all the time. How disgusting!" 

Libradon insulted the man before him. 

Instead of feeling weak from the insult, God Mervous developed a faint smile on his face. 

By now, he already knew the name of the figure who was so similar to his lover. 

"Teressa. I will always remember that name," God Mervous murmured softly.

Finding God Mervous vaguely smiling made Libradon feel annoyed. 

He then held out his hand for one of the guards to give him a long whip. 

Crack! 

Libradon, who was full of anger, then moved the whip until it caught the attention of everyone in the palace hall. 

"Now who has no common sense? You've already annoyed everyone with that noise." God Mervous turned his gaze towards Libradon, belittling the man.

"You?! How dare you say such a thing to me!" Libradon was incensed. 

His bloodstream felt as raging as the flames that ran through his body. He was burning with emotion. 

Libradon tried to remain calm. He didn't want his reputation as a royal ruler to go down in flames. 

The man rolled his eyes, avoiding looking at God Mervous for a moment. 

"What's your name, slave?!" 

Once he was able to control himself, Libradon looked back at the man asking God Mervous for his name. 

"Why do you know my name? Didn't you already call me slave?" God Mervous casually retorted. 

God Mervous really did not show the slightest sign of fear. A powerful fist now appeared in Libradon's right hand. 

"Quick, tell me your name or you will soon meet your death." 

Libradon threatened the man. He was certain that God Mervous would be instantly terrified upon hearing such an answer from him. 

Of the many slaves who became his free playthings, all were immediately terrified when they heard they were about to meet their end. 

All of them pleaded to the point of kneeling, kissing Libradon's feet. 

Now, Libradon was only a matter of time. Because that man was very sure that God Mervous would definitely behave the same way. 

A wide smile spread across Libradon's face as the man before him slowly lowered his head and bowed. 

With only three arms lengths apart, Libradon was certain that the man would prostrate himself and kiss his feet begging not to be punished.

"Very good. You are indeed a slave..." 

Libradon's eyes rounded perfectly. 

Unlike what he had imagined, God Mervous took out a handkerchief from his pants pocket and wiped his shoes that had been hit by flying dust from Libradon's footsteps.

After finding both shoes visibly clean, the man put his handkerchief back in. 

Straightening his body again, he deliberately raised his chin in defiance. 

"Did you think I would kneel to you? Now who is the fool? Me or you?" Without flinching, God Mervous immediately said so. 

That relaxed tone of voice without any expression made everyone marvel at him. 

Even the bodyguards were equally surprised to find their Libradon king being treated in such a manner. 

Now, Libradon really couldn't contain all the emotions burning inside him. 

"You?! You're really making me angry." 

Libradon clenched his hands into fists, his eyes beginning to turn red as his jaw hardened in anger. 

God Mervous simply stared at the angry Libradon. He was not interested in responding. 

"Please forgive me. I will give you a breather for some time." Libradon said aloud, thinking that the slave before him would ask for forgiveness.

Instead of immediately accepting the negotiation, God Mervous acted indifferent. 

He did not care about the man before him at all. 

"Are you crazy for flattery? Do you feel ashamed for being humiliated in front of so many people?" God Mervous said quite loudly.

By now, Libradon really could not take it anymore. 

God Mervous' words had brought down his pride. All this time, Libradon had never been humiliated to this extent. 

"Just watch. You will ask your slaves to give me punishment. You won't dare to fight me alone. Because what? Because you're just a weakling who can't do anything without your slaves," God Mervous continued, looking down on Libradon and making Libradon furious.

Enough! Libradon had had enough of all the insults said by the figure before him. 

This time, he would not give the man in front of him any chance. 

He vowed to torture the man severely. That man had to pay for his insults. 

"Guards! Take him away! I'm really sick of seeing his face. Hurry! Take him away from my presence! Give him some torture! Make him regret his words!" 

Libradon's emotional shout echoed throughout the kingdom. 

Everyone could feel how enveloped in rage the man was at the moment. The heat was now transparent in the palace hall. 

"You ignorant bastard! You will feel the consequences of your actions. All because you dared to defy me." Libradon tugged at the corners of his lips, very powerful there.

The guards immediately grabbed hold of God Mervous' body. 

Instead of being frightened, God Mervous smiled wryly. 

His gaze seemed to look down on the man before him. 

"Quick! You're coming with us!" 

The bodyguards dragged and pulled the man by force. Without putting up a fight God Mervous simply accepted their treatment. 

However, before God Mervous could be taken away and disappeared from their sight. 

Suddenly a voice stopped them in their tracks.

"Wait! Don't take him away just yet." 

Teressa rose from her seat, descending her throne. 

"Your Highness, may I ask you something?" 

Libradon turned his gaze to Teressa. 

His gaze, which seemed to be asking what Teressa wanted to say, made the woman then look briefly at God Mervous. 

"Let me take care of his. Just leave him to me. Please."

Teressa seemed very confident in her words. "Please just leave him with me. I will punish him," Teressa reiterated.

    The God Mervous followed the guard without a word.The corridor they walked through was familiar — he'd memorized it without meaning to over the past few days, every turn and every shift in scent and every different pattern of light in each section. But this time the corridor felt different. Longer. Somehow narrower, even though its dimensions had to be the same.Or maybe it was just his mind making everything feel heavier than it should.The guard stopped in front of the main hall's door — a large door he'd passed through once before, on the first day he arrived at this palace with his hands forced behind his back and a prisoner's robe thrown at his feet. This time no one dragged him. This time he stood here on his own account, or at least on account of Libradon summoning him.The door opened.And the first thing he saw inside the hall was Teresa.The woman stood in the middle of the room — back straight, chin raised, in the manner of someone who wouldn't let her posture say more tha

    Libradon hadn't been awake long.Teresa knew that from the way her servants had startled when she asked for an immediate audience — from the way they exchanged glances with expressions that said this is unusual, this has never happened before without needing to say a single word. Teresa had never asked for an audience this early. Never come with steps this quick, with eyes this hard, at an hour when the sun hadn't even fully decided to rise.But they let her in.Of course they let her in.---Libradon was in his private chamber — not the great hall he usually used for formal audiences, but a smaller room where he ate breakfast and signed documents and did the things that needed no witnesses other than his closest servants.He was sitting with a cup of something steaming in his hand when Teresa entered — and one eyebrow rose slowly at the sight of his guest."Teresa." His tone hovered between surprise and amusement — a mix that was distinctly Libradon, one that never let anyone truly k

    "So will you free Edrick?"The question came out quietly — not demanding, not pleading. Just a question set carefully into the air, like someone who knew the answer could tip heavily either way and chose not to push it toward one.Teresa didn't answer right away.She still stood in the same spot, her eyes no longer on God Mervous but not fixed on anything specific either — at some point between the two of them, where there was nothing that needed to be seen, and precisely because of that, it was easier to think."It will be difficult," she said finally. Her voice was quiet, measured. "Asking something from Libradon always has a price." A brief pause. "And after I asked him to give you back — using what's left of his trust in me for something like that..." She didn't finish the sentence. She didn't need to.God Mervous watched her profile from the side."But it's not impossible," Teresa continued — not as comfort, but as a fact stated in the same tone she used for every other fact. Fla

    Teresa spoke in a flat, measured tone — her usual way of speaking, one that never gave more than necessary. But tonight her words were more than usual. About the corridor that smelled damp. About the cramped cell. About the thin man who tried to rise when the door opened and failed. About the wounds that were clear and deep even in such poor light.God Mervous listened without interrupting.Sitting on the edge of his bed with both hands on his knees, his eyes fixed on some nonspecific point on the floor, he absorbed every word Teresa said in a way that felt like someone weighing the burden of something he wasn't yet fully prepared to carry.Teresa told him how Edrick had asked about Kayrus, with eyes that still held hope even though his body barely had the strength to hold anything at all. How he closed his eyes upon hearing that Kayrus was fine, how a long breath came out of his cracked lips like something that had been held too long.How the man had said, I'm always fine in the end,

    Teresa didn't know why she was still standing there.Her feet should have carried her away by now — away from this corridor that smelled of damp air and rusted iron, away from the swaying lantern light and the shadows it cast on the stone walls. The sound of the guard's footsteps she'd heard earlier had faded, whether turning down another passage or heading back to their post. No one could see her here.This was her chance to leave without consequence.But her hand was already on the cold iron bars, and her eyes couldn't tear away from the body lying in the cell — from the slow, uneven rise and fall of that chest, from the wounds that were clear and deep even in this poor light.Teresa took a long breath.Then her hand moved to the cell key hanging on the wall — the guard who'd brought her here apparently hadn't been careful enough to take it with them. Or maybe they hadn't expected anyone to come down here at this hour.The key was heavy and rusted, creaking as she fit it into the loc

    The candle had long since gone out.But the darkness filling the room didn't put either of them to sleep — it only made them more aware of each other's presence on the two sides of the same room, at a distance not so far but that felt like a chasm with no bridge across it.Teresa was still sitting on the edge of her bed.Her mind wouldn't settle. Not because of the argument earlier — or not only because of that. Something kept nagging at the corner of her awareness, something that had been there long before tonight but tonight felt increasingly urgent to answer.That man.Kayrus — or whoever he actually was.Teresa had seen many slaves in her life in this palace. She'd seen men broken by a system that gave them no choices, whose eyes went hollow long before their bodies gave out. She'd also seen the stubborn ones, the rebellious ones, the ones who tried to survive by whatever means they could find.But none of them were like the man now sitting on the other side of her room.The way h
