Chapter 7 - Sacrificial Altar

                                    

                                          
Kieran walked happily in front of Hael. Walking out from Arthfael Manor without being followed by any knights felt quite nice. He can approach anything he wants without worrying about the knights that will block his way.
And who would have expected that the one who suggested it was none other than the prince who might become the Emperor in the future? Hael might be the only prince with such a free mind. 
"Are you not afraid to get beaten up by my father?" Kieran suddenly asked. 
"Why would I be afraid? Unlike Zale, I didn't try to harm you or something." Hael replied. "I'm taking you out to play in the town and eat a lot of good food. I made you smile a lot too."
What a confidence, but even so, Kieran doesn't hate it. Hael's personality is the opposite of Zale's, so of course, Kieran would feel more comfortable around Hael. It might be nice to have someone like Hael by his side. "Is it because I'm the only one who can make you the Emperor?"
"Hmm... That might be one of the reasons, but the main reason wasn't that." 
"How honest. What if I got annoyed by what you said and chose to stay away from you?"
"You look fierce, but it doesn't change the fact that you're a sheltered omega young master. The world outside your manor is new, and you look at people with your straight, honest eyes. That's why, I want to be honest and tell you what exactly I felt at the moment."
Hael was the first to say something like that, and Kieran can't refute that. 
He is someone who came from a modern world where he needed to work so hard because his father chose to abandon him for a new family. And coming to this world, he possessed the memories of the original Kieran, who sacrificed himself to fix every mistake he made. But it doesn't change the fact that Kieran is still new to all of this. To this world. To these people. There was a time when he felt scared of everything and wanted to hide. 
"Kieran?" Hael stared at Kieran who suddenly looked gloomy. "Are you okay? Do you want to sit by the side for a bit?" He asked worriedly. 
Kieran let out a sigh. 
Hael tilted his head for a bit. 
"Is it still far? I'm too tired." Kieran suddenly complained. "I can't walk anymore..." He whined. 
But instead of feeling annoyed, Hael kneeled in front of Kieran and showed his back. "Get on. I will carry you to the town."
He doesn't feel like he needs to hold himself back; Kieran jumps on Hael's back and lets the man carry him to the town. It was fun though. They joked around about things as they walked and they ignored the stare given by the people who passed them. 
And without them realize, they have already reached the town. 
Kieran got down from Hael's back and started to look around. He likes to eat, so the first thing he looks at is the food stall. 
The first stall he approached was the skewer stall. 
He stared at the delicious meat skewer, and when Hael ordered seven of it, a smile formed on his face. "Can I have all of it?" Kieran asked excitedly. Even in the modern world, he is someone who loves to eat. 
"Of course. You can eat whatever you want and I will pay for you."
"You definitely can become my sugar daddy." 
"Sugar daddy? What's that?" Hael asked curiously. 
"It means a man who will buy everything for the person who will become his lover. You want to become your lover, right? And you will buy me anything I want. So you're my sugar daddy."
