And Why, In Every Life, Do I Fall In Love With The Tyrant?
(#Tyrant #demon #transmigration #lifetimelove #maturecontent #killings #bl #yaoi) Yeon Jin, a master archer as well as a university student, died after being thrown into the river during a gang ambush by his lover, Daniel. Though he did not believe he was dead since all he could remember was the splash of water, and believed that he simply transmigrated somewhere by accident, hoping to get back to his lover. In this life, the face of his lover was on a prince, a madman who spilled blood on a daily basis, demon of the battlefield and also, a tyrant. And unfortunately, he had become the worst enemy of this tyrant who was from the holy empire that was completely against his existence. There were three things he secretly set his mind to accomplish. 1, Not die, 2, Tame the tyrant... While trying his best not to die by his hands 3, Find a way to return home... While still trying to tame the tyrant He was able to survive not dying by the tyrant's hands but that was only because he had a special gift that was able to nullify the demonic powers that he possessed and also, be the only one to tackle him down. As well as his inability to die... Thanks to the god that was connected to him. 1, Not die.. check! Not knowing why he was in this new world where everything was strange, Yeon Jin found comfort in staring at t the face that reminded him of his lover but unfortunately, his personality was crap. But... He learned to cope with it. 2, Tame the tyrant... Check! Just when he was adapting to this new world, and was gradually falling in love with the tyrant prince, while continuously maxing it as his affection for the face since it belonged to his lover, he came to realize that he hadn't transmigrated anywhere, rather, he was living the first of the last three lifetimes where his death were beyond tragic among the hundreds of loves he and his lover had lived together and this... It was a simple repetition which meant all that was happening were real and this man, the tyrant prince whom he was trying hard not to fall for, was his lover in this lifetime. 3, Find a way to return home... Pending! How exactly was he going to cope with this new information when he was halfway across the empire with no way to communicate with the tyrant prince? How exactly was he going to sink in the fact that in this life, one of them was going to die all over again and then repeat the same in the next two that were to come? He felt he would run mad and in all this, wondered, "What exactly was it that brought us this tragic fate?" ********* NOTE: Aside from their tragic love story of different lifetimes, the contents of this book aren't entirely sad and filled with tears and bloodshed. There are a lot of comical/funny events that will lighten your heart in preparation for the tragedy to come.
Aren't you one of that guy's men?
Stein almost laughed. This guy was no small deal. Now he really wanted to know if he was someone from the holy empire.
"Don't be such a feisty lion." He said and approached, waving the maid off and she scurried out of there. "I just wanted to make your stay more comfortable by finding out what you like to eat."
"There's no way I'll be comfortable when I know there's someone out there to kill me." Yeon Jin said and tilted his head. "All the food, no matter what it is, I won't be comfortable eating any. I'll get suspicious that there is either poison in it or some type of killing medicine."
"That can still be counted as poison." Stein pointed out.
"Anyway, the fact that I can die at the drop of a hat still remains and I definitely can't keep my guard down." He said and Stein started laughing.
"You... I like you." He said, shocking Yeon Jin.
"What?"
"I like your character and your attitude. Someone who doesn't fear death and at the same time, tries his every best not to die... You're a fighter." He exclaimed and Yeon Jin folded his arms.
"Aren't you one of that guy's men?" He asked him, his eyes turning glaze as he observed Stein. "Why are you so interested in me, a prisoner and a spy?"
"The moment you walked out of that cell with all limbs intact and a sane mind, you were bound to be the most interesting subject in this entire empire." Stein started.
"You're sounding crazy."
"Please, there are so many crazy things in this palace. A little interest in your character is completely normal." He said but Yeon Jin simply felt freaked out and he said,
"I'll eat anything your chef makes." He picked up his strap and covered his eyes.
"Can you see with that?" Stein asked and Yeon Jin turned to him.
"Yes." He said. "My eyes work well even with a blindfold."
Yeon Jin was a character meant to be observed. Those were Stein's thoughts. He was such a guy that you wouldn't help but look at for hours and still not get tired.
"Why are you still here?" Yeon Jin asked him.
"I am yet to introduce myself."
"Neither am I but I believe we're better off not knowing each other's names." Yeon Jin said, his eyes trailing down to his sword around his waist. "But you can do me a favor and take me to the dining room."
Stein nodded and turned around, heading for the door.
"Come." He opened the door and started heading out with Yeon Jin on his toes. "You know, for someone with such a body, you seem like you can tackle a bull."
"Don't mention it." Yeon Jin said, voicing his dissatisfaction to continue such a topic.
As they strode down the halls, Yeon Jin looked around. Everything looked so expensive and fancy. There were a lot of things he swore were made of gold.
The eyes on him did not bother him but what actually bothered him was how to ascertain if there was poison added to the food.
'Should I eat his portion instead of mine?' He wondered till the doors to the dining room opened.
He beheld a long dining table and at the end of it was the tyrant currently seated to have his meal. As soon as he saw Yeon Jin, his left eye brow ticked.
"What is he doing here?" Beric asked with a deep gruff and dissatisfied tone.
"You wouldn't want your favored to starve, would you?"
"My favored?" Beric's eyebrow tilted up and he looked at Yeon Jin who went to sit in the place he found most comfortable and safest. Right next to Beric.
"What?" Yeon Jin asked, acting like he did not know the reason for that look. He had a feeling Beric wouldn't want to dine with him so this was all that Knight's doing.
But since he was already there, there was no need to leave, even if Beric didn't like his presence there.
The meal was served shortly and Yeon Jin watched Beric's meal. It was the same as his and the confidence Beric had while setting his cutleries up, ready to eat, gave him a certain assurance.
If he was confident his own food wasn't poisoned then that was the food he was going to eat.
"Wait." Yeon Jin said, just before Beric cut the steak. "I want that one." He said and without waiting for a response, snatched the plate and dropped his own plate in front of Beric. "I don't know if mine is poisoned." He said and started eating, ignoring whatever glare was being thrown at him.
Stein watched this with his eyes shining in surprise and delight and he found it amusing. But the most amusing part was the fact that Beric wasn't going to do anything about it. Though he glared, there was no single murderous intent thrown at Yeon Jin.
It was as if he had grown soft when it came to things related to the spy.
'Ah, this is more fun than I thought.'
Beric ate Yeon Jin's portion of the meal. He had an immunity to poison from the moment he became the demon himself. That was why he never worried about what he was going to eat.
Suddenly, Yeon Jin's fork fell and so did the iron cup next to him, earning a resounding sharp noise as it landed on the floor.
Beric's eyes turned bold and yet narrowed as he saw blood seeping down Yeon Jin's nose. Yeon Jin touched it and looked up at Beric.
"So, this is how you wanna play."
Oh no, he got poisoned
Sorry for the slow update. Just resumed school and it's all hectic and all energy gets drained by the time I get back to the hostel. I can only type when I am free. But after this coming week, I will surely get back to my feet and type frequently
