Spoilers:
So at the ball, Ail dances with Salina and Luce thinks how beautiful and perfect they look together. Jealous and dejected he goes to the balcony to get some air and gets down from the balcony with Elsen. Ail likes Salina as in she’s ambitious and bold, perfect for the role of empress. And after the dance, Ail looks for Luce inly to find him laughing, having a good time and practicing dancing in the garden with Elsen. Ail gets so mad at the sight of them and recalls how Luce only ever acts wary in front of Ail, yet he laughs so easily when he’s with others. He’s overcome with jealousy but doesn’t realize it. Luce’s hand wound reopens so Elsen and him goes to his room to dress the wound and encounters the prince waiting inside Ail’s room. I forgot what conversation they had but prob not something pleasant lol. The prince leaves.
From then on, the prince makes a deal with Salina to deal with 2 birds with 1 stone, a.k.a removing Elsen and Erina(was it? Elsen’s crush) and trap Luce so he can never get away from him. Salina would gain the crown princess position out of this deal.
Later, it is announced that Elsen ran away with Erina causing treason (when in reality it was Salina and Ail’s plottting, Salina is keeping the two inside her mansion.) Ail orders Elsen to be killed on sight and sends a search party all over. Panicked, the other friend of Luce persuades Luce to go see the Prince to change his mind and Luce goes to see him as Ail planned. He begs him but their relationship is not built on trust and is purely exchange-based, so the prince asks what he can give to him in exchange. He then tells Lice to give him his body. Luce, backed to a corner have no choice but to accept. And the prince asks him to give him a head. Luce sucks at it obviously but that turns on Ail so much. Ail even dreamt of ravishing Luce in his dream the night before. Well they proceed to the bed, and Ail, without preparation, penetrates Luce. They have hot steamy sex but poor Luce. They talk about how it was Luce’s first time and how no one has entered his hole blah3 the prince is rough with him and wants him to remember this pain (I forgot the reason). Luce screams and cries in pain at first but feels pleasure afterwards.
The next morning, Luce finds out that he was stripped of his Commander position and is to stay in the Northern Palace to become his lover/concubine. Luce is shocked as he thought it was a one night. The prince tells him he sold his body to him, so he’s in the prince’s possession.
The prince starts to feel displeased and pained at some of his interactions with Luce as he is oblivious to his feelings and just want Luce to love him, look at him, smile gently, warmly at him like he does with others. But stupid fuck dunno how to beg or ask or doesn’t know what he’s feeling is love rn (not just lust).
Luce then asks for permission to go see his mother as she has fallen ill. This is an excuse to go look for Elsen. The prince agrees and sends guards with him to the Kaizel estate. There, Luce changes clothes with the doctor and escapes with his other friend. They change carriage etc. the prince feels uneasy like Luce is getting away from his grasp so he goes to the estate only to find that he’s gone. The mother tells the prince that Luce is stubborn and if Luce will rebel fiercely should he try to take him force, but if he want to have him, he should try gentle persusasion etc. Ail tells her that Luce is his bla3 and he orders Luce to be brought. Here, Luce hears that Elsen and Erina were trapped in Salina’s estate and all of this was the prince and Salina’s plot. He feels betrayed but he has a tiny sliver of hope that the prince is doing all this bcs he wants Luce by his side that he loves him just a tiny tiny bit.
He then willingly goes back to confront the prince about his ploy and his intentions behind it. They have very emotional conversation, Luce can’t tell the prince that he loves him and the prince doesn’t know why’s he’s doing all this. Things escalate badly, they both hurt each other with their words, Luce decides to leave and Ail’s mind literally blanks out and is filled with madness at the thought of Luce leaving him, causing him to strangle Luce almost at the verge of death. Ail wad then petrified at what he had done and he ran away bc he might harm him again. He then orders 3 knight order to stand guard in the northern palace, and nobody to enter, isolating Luce. Ail also realizes that he will go mad (literally) and will die without Luce. Also Ail lashed out at Luce before strangling him that he’s just a dog to him, and he abhors the idea of his loyal dog leaving him willingly without his consent — which he didn’t mean it but he so emotionally constipated lol and this breaks Luce’s heart)
It’s now Ail’s coming of age ceremony that will be held for days. Ail only visits Luce at night in fear of how Luce will look at him and what they’ll say to each other. He is extremely gentle and is longing in his touch when he visits him at night. Luce starves himself. Ail threatens to slash the servant’s hands each time he refused to eat. Luce starts throwing cruel words at him which he deserves and shuts off his heart. The prince is pained inside. And one night, when he was a bit intoxicated, tossing away his pride, he asks for Luce to give his heart to which he scoffs at and throws sarcastic mean words at him to which the prince loses all hope to rectify everything and that Luce’s heart is closed now. Soooo they throw punches at each other, Luce bites Ail’s lip when he forcefully kissed him. And they have another sex.
Okay that’s it so far. I’ll write the continuation when I get home. Srsly need to work rn.
