Chapter Text
He opened his sleepy eyes as the warm sunlight went into the chamber of his villa. Familiar pain and dizziness immediately rushed to his head. He had experienced this many times in the past so, he knew what happened last night. He tried to remember everything he did but failed. He certainly did remember the banquet the emperor held for his 27th birthday.
That's right. It's been 2 years since the white star's defeat and Roan Kingdom finally regained its peace. The Crown Prince then became Roan Kingdom's new ruler. No. It was Roan Empire now.
So much had happened for the past 2 years yet, his relationship with his sworn older brother hadn't changed at all. Alberu threatening him to become a prime minister or him doing exactly as he said. It was just that but he felt so content and satisfied with his current relationship. It was hell and heaven to him.
He got his slacker life as planned but still had to do the emperor's excessive paper works at times. He liked the way his life was going now.
He smiled softly as he remembered the stupid things he had done with his sworn brother. He suddenly felt weird. It was a feeling that was not from the hangover but something else. He had noticed it for sometime now. He sat up and rubbed his half opened eyes as he yawned. That weird feeling was still there. He didn't know what it was but it was certainly there.
Somehow he felt really tired and sore all over more so than usual. He thought it was normal since he always felt that way after drinking too much.
Oh right, come to think of it...
He remembered now. He was supposed to have a drink with the emperor to celebrate his birthday and turned out to be drinking too much after he offered Alberu a drinking contest inside of a cheap bar. That man had a really high alcohol tolerance, damn. Even more so than Bud Ilis. Maybe he ended up being unconscious in the middle of drinking with Alberu.
He sighed as he tried to get up from his bed but his legs wouldn't budge. He then realized something. That weird sensation he was feeling just then was because...
An arm was wrapped around his waist tightly as if It didn't want to let go of him.
Shit... did I bring someone back home?
But that's not really the problem here. No matter how you look at it, the arms around him were undoubtedly a man's and that's a problem. Cale never even considered himself to be Bi let alone gay. If that was the case then, how come?
"Mnn..."
A groan was heard beside him. It was really familiar since he had heard it almost everyday from his magic communication device.
There's no way...
His fear then was proven to be true.
"Hmm, Cale? You're awake? "
The person beside him was none other than the emperor himself, Alberu Crossman. He sighed in relief. It was not really rare for him to be sharing bed with Alberu in case something happened like an emergency paper works so, he didn't really find it odd. But the thing was that he didn't remember anything from the other night.
Moreover...
Why are we naked?
Cale pondered for while until all the events of the night he spent with his sworn brother came to him.
The way he caressed Cale's body gently, the sweet nothings Alberu whispered to his ear, the way his golden hair swayed and illuminated by the beautiful moonlight, lustful eyes looking down on him as Alberu licked his lips seductively and also the way he, himself cried as he begged Alberu with no shame left in him.
All of it, he remembered it.
And because of his special ability he got from his previous world, he came to uselessly remember every single detail about what happened to him and the person beside him the other night. With the sensations all over his body no less.
He looked down on Alberu with a paled face.
"Ngh... what time is it, Cale?"
"... Seven.", stupefied with what he just discovered, he answered the emperor absent-mindedly.
"Haam... Why are you up so early? Let's just sleep a little longer. I still have a few hours before work."
Alberu pulled him down to lay him on the bed and hugged him from behind. He carefully put his nose behind the nook of Cale's neck. He slowly nibbled on the exposed pale skin and left a mark there. Satisfied with the result, he got back on sniffing Cale scent.
"As I thought. Your smell is arousing me."
"What are you saying your majes—!!"
Before Cale finished his sentence, something poked at his entrance. Alberu's fingers without warning went inside of Cale's entrance and started spreading it. Cale, who was planning on escaping from the sly Emperor's grasp couldn't do what he wanted. He was held firmly by the so called emperor so that he couldn't escape. Because the night he had spent with Alberu, his body was still sensitive and responsive as ever. Before he knew it, he was already gasping for air and muffled the moans he let out.
"Ah uh..."
"You're still loose because of last night..."
Alberu threw away the blanket covering them and looked below for a better look at his beloved dongsaeng's body. There, he saw his own seed he had planted inside Cale dripping down his thigh. He was incredibly turned on by the sight before him.
"What a magnificent creature you are, Cale.", Alberu tilted Cale's face into facing him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Ah, y-your majesty.. I- Ah—"
"My name."
"A-ah?"
"Call me by my name.", Alberu whispered softly beside Cale's sensitive ear and sent shivers down his spine.
"Just like you did last night and I'll let you come."
"Al-alberu..."
"Good boy."
With that, Alberu kissed Cale one more time and made his way to Cale's now standing crotch. Cale twitched and grabbed the pillow under him as he panted harder.
Stroking his cock which was already drenched by his precum, Alberu positioned himself at Cale's entrance when he heard his moans and whimpers calling his name, wanting for more.
Who would have thought... The Young Master Silver Shield everyone admired was this erotic on bed? Certainly, Alberu had no thoughts of letting others see this side of Cale. Never.
Cale was his and his only. He would never yield him to someone else.
God... please let him be the death of me.
"Cale, can I put it in?"
"W-what...? No, no way..."
Cale tried to refuse him but Alberu didn't let him to. He wasn't planning on listening to Cale anyways so, why bother putting on an act when he was already at his limit? As Alberu raised Cale's thigh, he shoved his fully hard cock slowly into Cale's wet entrance. Cale whimpered and clung harder to the bedsheet. Alberu who realized this, smirked as he kissed the back Cale's neck.
"Cale..."
"Ah, ah... no, I'll die... ngh."
"Just this once. One more time okay, Cale?"
Cale who wasn't in his right mind, agreed easily as he nodded weakly. Alberu smiled in content and without letting Cale breath in some air, he thrust into his sweet spot almost immediately. Not ready for the sudden pleasure he got from Alberu, Cale saw black dots appearing in his sight and bent his waist to the back as he jerked his head to gasp. Alberu then mercilessly attacked that exact spot until he climaxed. Although Cale was begging him to stop, he paid no mind to his cries.
He shot his seed inside of Cale one more time and Cale, who couldn't control his voice anymore, started to see stars. He felt so warm and full. He never felt something like that before. He knew that he was coming but he felt nothing coming out.
Nothing came out of his cock anymore yet, he kept twitching and saliva uncontrollably dripped down his chin.
"Ah! N-no. I'm scared... A-alberu, what ish dis?", Cale cried as he reached for something to grab for comfort.
Alberu slowly let Cale lay on his back and firmly held Cale's hand in his. He too never expected Cale to have dry orgasm so quickly.
"Shh, It's okay... I'm here."
"Ah... ah, uh. "
With their fingers intertwined Cale quickly calmed down and slowly drifted to sleep.
Despite being similar in height, Cale was easily embraced inside of Alberu's arms like he belonged there from the very beginning. It was strange that Alberu was really content with having that person inside his embrace since all he wanted to do was to punch Cale in the face if he could. He really loved having Cale there. He wanted to stay there with him forever if possible.
Unfortunately, the esteemed emperor was kicked out by Cale the very moment he regained his consciousness hours later. He just felt thankful that nobody was inside of his villa except for him and Alberu. Two days later, he was sick and bedridden. The cause of it was mild exhaustion and stress. Alberu who was guilty sent flowers almost everyday And was eventually prohibited to enter the duchy for the whole week.
__________________________________________
It was weird. It really was weird. Cale found something strange this morning. It had been two weeks since his passionate nightly Activity with the emperor and their relationship didn't really change. He didn't know if that was good or bad. Their usual schedule was normal too.
The strange thing was that...
- Cale, take care of yourself while we are not here, okay?
- Cale, If something happens, just call us okay? But we won't be here to be here for a while unless you're in a really dangerous situation.
- Bye cale! Imma yeet from here for the time being!
- Cale, I'm going to destroy the world if anything happens to you. See you later.
- Old man, glutton, we'll leave our cale in your hands.
- Cheapskate! Hurry up!
- Geez, you're noisy!
The ancient powers within suddenly fell silent and only left him with only the indestructible shield. They didn't even explain what happened and made Cale even confused. He just woke up not too long ago and was informed like that. How could he not be confused?
"Huh?"
"Young master Cale, may I come in?"
With the sound of knocking, a person's voice could be heard outside of his room. Thankfully, it was not that of a certain old man's. Cale unknowingly sighed in relief and stood in front of a full body mirror.
" Come on in, Hans."
"Hmm.. oya? Young master Cale, why are you so pale?"
Hans went inside Cale's room with an empty porcelain cup and a jug filled with Cale's most detestable drink, lemonade made by his most loyal old butler, Ron.
Deputy butler Hans said after seeing Cale's complexion. It was that Cale, who had been always pale was paler than usual. Cale widened his eyes in shock and look into the mirror again. He felt that nothing was different so...
"Hans, are you really sure your eyes are okay?"
"Wha— Young master, that was too mean!", Hans faked tear and put the tea set on the table.
Cale sat down on the soft sofa and sipped the lemonade Hans had brought him. No, he tried.
He stopped his cup in front of his red cherry lips and frowned.
'What?'
He suddenly wanted to drink something that's not lemonade at all cost. He abruptly put the cup down and dashed to the bathroom. There, he did what he wanted to do.
" Uup— Uuekk—"
He emptied his stomach and wiped his mouth. It felt disgusting and very sickening. Cale pondered, 'I was fine just a while ago?'
Hans who was inside of Cale's bedroom quickly left and called for the duchy's doctor. Because of that commotion, Ron who was out of the duchy, came back to make Cale to lay down on his bed (more like threaten) and examined by the doctor.
Fortunately, the doctor said there was nothing like food poisoning or something dangerous. But Hans was there to make the trouble
"Sir Ron, Young Master Cale suddenly threw up after sipping the lemonade Sir Ron prepared!"
"Is that so?"
Ron flashed a benign smile and looked at Cale with cold chilling eyes.
'Hans, you traitor!', Cale screamed inwardly.
Cale too didn't know why he suddenly felt sick. He didn't feel like he ate something out of the ordinary. He felt just fine that morning so... Why? It's not like Ron would suddenly poison him out of spite. Ron poisoning him would be the last thing he consider possible since Ron would never ever want to hurt him in anyway.
"Eh, maybe it'll go away."
In the end of the day, he decided to let it go and laid on bed throughout the whole time.
Though he said that, the next morning, he threw up again. And then the morning after. And after...
He didn't know why he was like that either. As it seemed that his condition got worse and worse, the previous Duke, Deruth along with his wife, Violan visited Cale worrying about his health. On the other hand, Cale felt fine. After throwing up several times, he felt nothing but wonderful. The question is...
'How?'
He got anxious and made the emperor himself sent a few royal physicians who only worked for the imperial family. However, even the royal physicians couldn't find something wrong with Cale's body.
As time passed by, his condition got better but he started to crave something he didn't usually eat. For example, spicy food and sweet drinks. He then started to crave for something that seemed impossible to get in that world. Jjigae and Hotteok.
Those are food from his hometown, South Korea. Even Choi Han who was always by his side was baffled that Cale suddenly wanted to eat those.
Time passed by yet again and Cale, who always had his deadpan face on, started to smile and expressed himself more. The whole residents were shaken by that development. He even refused to drink the lemonade Ron had always made for him. He didn't feel like it he said.
Another week passed and Cale found out that he gained weight. There was a small bump on his stomach which previously had some firm muscles. He too was shocked. He never thought that he would gain weight so easily like that. Even when he ate so many apple pies (fed by Raon), he never thought he would gain weight.
In the end, he contacted the ancient dragon Eruhaben. He said that something was wrong with his body lately and it was as if he was...
Pregnant.
At first, Eruhaben only laughed it off but suddenly paused. He widened his eyes like he recalled something.
—Kids, leave Cale alone in his room.
"Goldie gramps, why???"
—You'll know soon enough
"Okay!"
The three kids actually left the room and only leaving Cale alone in his bedroom.
— You. Stay there.
"Umm, okay?"
He sat down on his bed and a person popped out inside his bedroom the moment he did so. As soon as he arrived with teleportation magic, he scanned Cale from head to toe.
"Eruhaben-nim?"
"Congrats, you're pregnant."
"...Excuse me?"
__________________________________________
And so, Eruhaben explained everything to Cale who was still confused. With how he used his oversensitive ears that were able to even hear bugs communicating to make sure he wasn't wrong and indeed, there were some heartbeats inside of Cale's stomach.
"Believe it or not, I heard a few heartbeats overlapped with your own. Now that I'm actually certain, I'm sure that you're actually pregnant."
"...oh."
Eruhaben wouldn't lie in a serious matter like this. Cale knew very well that the goldie gramps in front of him wasn't the person to do so.
"Do you want to hear it?"
"Yes. ...I'd like to."
Cale nodded and Eruhaben smiled gently as he pulled something out of his dimensional storage. It was a stethoscope. Hey doesn't this world have a medieval setting? How the hell did he get it? No idea. Oh well, he's a dragon so anything's possible.
After giving the stethoscope to Cale, Eruhaben unbuttoned Cale's white shirt and put the chestpiece on top his stomach. Cale gulped nervously and placed the eartips inside his ears.
Ba-dump Ba-dump Ba-dump Ba-dump.
He could hear it. Tiny heartbeats that were not his. They were inside of Cale's body but it's not his. They were very soft and quiet that it would be quite hard to hear them if not focused. The fact that Eruhaben managed to hear them without a tool was just too amazing.
Cale gasped lightly and covered his mouth. Unknown emotion was rushing into him. He didn't know what they were. Maybe disbelieve, maybe happiness, maybe sadness, it could be anything. But one thing for sure...
"Holy shit..."
He was really touched.
"I really am... pregnant."
Him who in both lives had never thought about having his own children since he devoted his life to achieve his slacker life dream, could soon give birth to a child. He couldn't say he was lonely but he never had a real family. His family... well, he really does treasure every member of his family, including a certain vicious old man too.
"But... How?"
Eruhaben then snapped his fingers and golden dust soon enveloped his legs. Just like that, a chair appeared out of nowhere and he plopped down. He then let out a very very very long sigh like that time was the most tiring situation he had ever experienced.
"I don't really know how exactly but... Apparently, there was a legend when I was around 300 to 400 of age."
"Is that related to my condition?"
"But first, let me ask you something."
"Go ahead."
The ancient dragon took a deep breath before opening up his mouth to speak and that gesture really made Cale who was already anxious, more restless.
"Not too long ago..."
"Yes?"
Cale's heart was about to burst from about what the golden dragon might ask. He had a bad feeling and his intuition was unnecessarily right.
"You were fucked by Alberu, weren't you?"
"COUGH—!!"
"Seems like I was right."
...In the end, he ended up choking on his own spit. He never expected the wise Eruhaben was able to become very straight forward as he grinned mischievously.
"I'm going to continue. So, about that legend... It was about a royalty of the Roan Kingdom."
"Sorry? Cough— Royalty of Roan Kingdom, sir?"
"Yes, that's right. It was said that the Crossman's bloodline may be able to impregnate both women and men."
"Oh, so that legend is proved to be true?"
"I didn't believe in it at first since I thought it was a bullshit but now that you happen to carry the child of a royalty, I don't think it was a mere legend anymore."
Eruhaben shook his head and sighed deeply. He then pointed at Cale's exposed stomach and looked straight into Cale's deep brown eyes.
"So Cale, what will you do? Will you just exposed it to him or hide that child of yours until the very end?"
"That's..."
For the first time in a while, Cale became at loss of words. He didn't seem to have the right word to answer Eruhaben as well. This was the first time he felt so confused and lost. He always had the answer to every situation but not when he was asked what to do with his child.
"Then, will you keep it? Your child I mean."
"Of course."
But this time, there was no hesitation in his voice as he already was fond of the little being living inside his belly. His looks softened as he rubbed his stomach with full of affection. Everyone who knew Cale probably would rub their eyes and asked if he was really alright and that was the case with Eruhaben as well. His mouth gaped for a while and closed it as soon as Cale gazed at him.
"Eruhaben-nim."
"Yes?"
"Thank you. Thank you very much for telling me that I'm pregnant."
Eruhaben let out a dry cough and turned his head to other way.
"It's fine. I-it's not like I did this for you anyway. It was because of my curiosity. That's right! I was merely curious."
With that, Eruhaben was nowhere to be found and only leaving his trace of golden dust flying around. Cale smiled thinly as he rubbed his stomach once again. After that conversation with the ancient dragon, he planned to go sleep. It was until someone knocked on his bedroom door.
Knock knock—
"Young Master Cale, it's Ron."
Hearing Ron's name, he straightened his back and buttoned up his shirt like a flash of lighting.
"Come in."
"Young Master Cale, I heard from the children that Eruhaben-nim visited?"
"He just left."
"Is that so?"
He smiled benignly as he looked at Cale. Cale who felt his gaze, flinched. He gathered up courage and opened his mouth.
"Ron."
"Yes, young master."
Cale sighed.
"Don't."
"..."
Ron stopped smiling as if questioning what Cale was talking about but Cale knew that wasn't the case. He just knew that assassin too well.
"I know you heard us. Don't tell anyone including the duke and the duchess, do you understand?"
"Yes, of course young master."
Ron once again smiled and nodded in respond. Cale then ordered him to leave him alone as he had some things he had to think about alone.
"Haa..."
Cale wrapped the blanket around his body and shrunk like a shrimp inside his big blanket.
Come to think of it...
Cale closed his eyes and began to ponder.
He came inside me twice and I had to be in the bathroom for almost an hour to cleanse my ass. It was my mistake not to wash it off as soon as I woke up.
He gripped the bedsheet in annoyance but soon let go of it. The bedsheet had no fault.
Alberu that bastard... Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you're the emperor? If this information is leaked out, it'll become a huge scandal which is a big bother to the both of us...
Thinking so, he then slowly drifted into a deep sleep.
