    Summary

    Mydei was a pillar of strength, unwavering and unyielding in how boldly he stood.

    It was only natural for Phainon to feel uneasy and worried with him clearly doing unwell!

    Phainon could only lean back at that before giving a light scoff, inspecting Mydei who seemed to refuse to meet his gaze - A rarity.

    Summary

    “King Mydeimos.” Aglaea interlocks her fingers and rests her chin upon them. “I am willing to give whatever it is you desire in exchange for the safety of this land. I differ from those old fools in that I truly believe you have the power to triumph over Okhema and its alliance.” Her cloudy teal eyes stare at the king intently, and thin, golden threads begin to appear weaving through her fingertips. “We would not be having this conversation if your end goal was to simply conquer, I am stepping in because you have been wrecking nothing but destruction in your wake.”

    “You have told me that I cannot give you what you want, I’d like to challenge that notion.” A thin smile makes itself to Aglaea’s lips. “I ask you again, King of Castrum Kremnos, what will it take for you to end this bloodshed?”

     

    Years after Mydei ascends the throne and declares war on Okhema and her alliances, a woman by the name of Aglaea comes to bargain for the safety of her nation. She offers him the one thing he could not resist: The chance to see his bygone lover again and a journey to the Underworld to retrieve his soul.

    This is the second part and the sequel to "To Slay a Tyrant".

    Summary

    “Hmph, I’m not a lightweight, I just personally dislike the taste of alcohol,” The other chimed in.

    “Pfft–right, because it’s too bitter for you,” Phainon commented, receiving a glare from the prince. It would’ve been threatening if it weren’t for the fact that the man in front of him was downing on his cake like a child who hasn’t eaten in decades, giving himself a generous bite of pancake each time. The knight snickered while Mydeimos did not say a word. The silence from the crowned prince was a signal that the ongoing back and forth had ended and Phainon knew Mydei lost to this small banter.

    Or..

    Five times Phainon teases and the one time Mydei teases back or alternately, Mydei and Phainon being whipped for each other five times and the one time they took action.

    Summary

    Mnestia's disciples often preach about the beauty of love, and how falling in love is the most sublime feeling there is in the world. They have compared the experience to a myriad of things that Mydeimos didn't really understand at first—like how falling in love is like walking among the clouds—when he first heard that, he could remember wondering to himself:

    How do they even know that? I don't think even the most devout among Aquila's followers would know how to walk on clouds.

    And when he heard another disciple say it's like having butterflies in your stomach:

    Huh? Who the fuck in their right mind would snack on butterflies to begin with?

    Summary

    "You only did it because I'm your soulmate…" He whispers, just barely audible.

    Phainon stiffens, his hand falling to his side. "What?"

    "You wouldn't have done that if we weren't soulmates!" Mydei roars out, his tearful expression full of nothing but fury, all directed at Phainon.

    Phainon falls back on his knees, devastated and confused, a swirl of emotions he can't quite process. He stares into Mydeis bloodied face, a mix of red and gold, half of which he himself feels.

    "You…you think so lowly of me…?" Phainon mumbles, hoping he's already passed out and this is simply a nightmare.

    But Mydei glares at him, and he doesn't take back his words.
