As I tossed and turned in bed, I felt warmth beside me, where it had been empty just moments before.

What, what, what! Yunu again?

Startled, I tried to get out of bed, but someone grabbed me.

“Where are you going?”

“…Seth?”

“Yeah, it’s me, Master.”

As I recognized the figure, my body relaxed and settled into the familiar embrace.

“Master.”

Feeling the affectionate embrace, I hugged back. Wow, Seth feels so safe.

Apparently, tops are safer than bottoms.

“When did you get here?”

“As soon as the day started.”

That’s a lot of attention.

I buried my face in his hard chest and sniffed him, and he laughed softly.

“You smell nice. Sweet fragrance.”

“Do you like it?”

“Yeah.”

Come to think of it, Seth used perfume to mask the smell of hallucinogens. He said it smells strong… but when he’s with me, it always smells faint.

Even so, it changed quite often.

A gentle touch began to stroke my head.

“Master, did you miss me?”

“Yes, Seth. I really missed you.”

The hand that was stroking my head paused for a moment but soon resumed.

“I missed you too, Master.”

The soft voice became husky in the dim dawn light.

“I missed you too.”

Seth looked frail even in the faint light of dawn.

“You’ve gotten thinner, Seth.”

“Without you, Master, I can’t sleep, and I have no appetite.”

Something slipped into my pajamas.

“Seth, just a moment.”

“Can’t I?”

“No.”

Pushing Seth’s chest away, I shook my head. But my voice was already trembling. His palm brushed against a particularly prominent protrusion.

“Hng.”

“Oh, Master.”

The cracked voice sounded menacing.

“You’re not going to tell me I can’t do anything, are you?”

I grabbed the sheets in a panic, needing to hold on to something to stave off the pleasure that was about to come.

A soft palm slid up my thigh, brushing against it. This alone made it hard to breathe.

“You’ve gained a little weight, Master, haven’t you?”

“How would you know that?”

“How wouldn’t I know?”

As I buried my face in the pillow and fidgeted, Seth’s laughter reached my ears.

“It’s my master’s body, how could I not know.”

Seth knew exactly how to make me shiver.

Subtle gestures accompanied by muted laughter.

In the quiet room, the squelching sounds were barely audible. Amidst them, my moans flowed.

As I gripped the pillow with my hand, a large, soft hand slipped under mine, interlocking our fingers. Even when I grazed his with my nails, it didn’t bother him; instead, he caressed the back of my hand.

“Hng, Seth, I hate you.”

“Really?”

“…No.”

Sethi, licking the corners of my eyes, chuckled softly.

“Then, you like it?”

“Yeah.”

“Even so, you won’t live with me?”

For a moment, I almost said no.

Honestly, it seemed like he was quite skilled at seducing people in this way.

As I nestled silently into his embrace, Seth didn’t press further.

“Tired?”

“Yeah….”

“Then let’s sleep more.”

The caress on my back felt comforting.

Although it was a bit uncomfortable having my pajamas dirty, I knew they’d be changed when I woke up.

Sure enough, when I got up, my pajamas had been replaced.

Sitting there dazed, Seth brought me clothes.

“Put these on.”

“You brought baggy clothes? I don’t like them, they’re uncomfortable.”

Seth’s expression stiffened momentarily. But soon, he lifted the corners of his mouth, as if afraid I might refuse.

“Then what do you want to wear?”

“The ones I brought with me.”

“The ones from that damned… I mean, from the Knight Commander’s mansion?”

I nodded, and Seth’s face turned cold.

“I hate those who aren’t me looking at you. I hate those who desire you.”

Though he was smiling, his crimson eyes held a hint of hatred.

“I’ve realized there are too many things in this world I can’t kill. Oh, I thought I was quite capable, but it turns out I’m not, which is rather annoying.”

He looked like he wanted to kill someone as a stress relief, so I hugged him tightly.

“But still, you can’t kill anyone.”

Avoiding my gaze, Seth seemed to have already made a list of people to kill.

“Seth.”

He tilted his head slightly and didn’t respond.

“Seth, don’t. Will you do it even though I dislike it?”

A thin sigh escaped his lips.

The handsome man soon flashed a smile mixed with coquetry as he gazed at me.

“You know, Master.”

“Huh?”

“Can I do it just once more?”

“Huh, what?”

“I think I’ll feel better if I see Master’s pretty expression again. Then maybe I can endure being angry.”

Seth is dangerous when he’s angry.

Not in the sense that I’m in danger of dying because I can call Yuno if something happens but in another way.

“I’m holding you tight.”

“…….”

“Is that not enough?”

I wrap my arms around him, tightly, just in case he’s going to do something unkind to me.

Seth stared at me with crimson eyes, then his red lips formed a smile. He then lowered his head towards me.

“Ah.”

I uttered a foolish sound, and Seth took the opportunity to slip into my open mouth. After a while, when he finally withdrew, he grinned broadly.

“Since Master said so, I’ll endure it.”

“It’s not about enduring it, it’s about not doing it.”

“Who do you think I’m going to kill? Are those people important to you?”

His crimson eyes flashed dangerously, and I suppressed the urge to sigh.

Who cheers for the death of innocent people?

Ah, he would.

“No.”

“But why stop me then?”

“I don’t like the idea of you getting blood on your hands.”

Seth Milan, is a man whose emotions have dried up.

Only the excruciating pain, blood, and death of others move him in the slightest. As he’s accustomed to solving boredom by killing people, he’s slowly losing his mind.

Even meeting the female protagonist doesn’t change that.

…It’s frightening to think he could become even more insane here.
