....
....
The lethal threat that had just come out of Kazien's mouth in a tone as cold as ice successfully made Haverd tremble even more in fear. The air around him felt suffocating. However, amidst the despair and fear paralyzing his common sense, the remnants of his noble ego somehow pushed the green-haired youth to dare open his mouth and ask back.
"Why... why are you defending him to this extent?" Haverd asked with panting breath, looking at Kazien with an uncomprehending gaze. "Do you like Hudeon?"
Hearing that question, Kazien did not answer immediately. He stared intently at Haverd's face before finally speaking in a very calm tone, contrasting with the killing intent he radiated.
"Yes, I do like Hudeon." Kazien answered honestly, without the slightest hesitation. "He is a cute boy and very sincere to me. But, my liking for him is limited to the affection of a brother. Besides, I cannot and will never have him because my younger sister likes him very much."
Kazien's facial expression slowly darkened. His calmness evaporated, replaced by a very thick aura of hatred.
"But..." Kazien hissed, gripping Haverd's jaw tightly. "...when I found out the fact that you, who are his biological brother, who should be the absolute protector for Hudeon, instead had the heart to ruin and rape him... that made me really, really want to kill you with my own hands!"
Kazien threw Haverd's face aside until the youth's head bowed.
"Even so, you can still be considered very lucky, Haverd." Kazien continued, his intimidation pressing the air at the barren mountain peak. "Because it will not be me who kills you, but rather your own father who will punish you later. Because he also already knows for sure what you have done to his youngest son."
Thump!
Haverd's face, which was already pale from the cold, instantly turned as white as cotton. His eyes widened broadly, radiating absolute horror upon realizing that his greatest crime had been discovered by his father.
I'm dead! Haverd screamed in his heart, his naked body trembling even more violently not because of the mountain wind, but because of the terror creeping into his chest. If he already knows of my actions... it is certain I will be killed by him. I have no future anymore!
"Now, answer my question!" Kazien suddenly snapped, his voice echoing, shattering Haverd's panicked daydream. "Why did you rape Hudeon?!"
Pressured by the lethal aura from the silvery-white-haired youth in front of him, Haverd's mental defenses shattered completely. He could no longer lie.
"B-B-Because I like him..." Haverd confessed honestly with a trembling and stuttering voice. "I know it's wrong... b-but if I told my father honestly, it is certain I would never be allowed to approach Hudeon again for the rest of my life. I... I did that so his body would be tied to me, so he would feel dirty and have no desire to leave me!"
Hearing such a selfish, manipulative, and disgusting reason, Kazien's gaze turned full of disgust.
"You are truly a foolish and psychopathic brother!" Kazien insulted in a condescending tone. "My older brother also likes me very much, more than just a sibling, but he never did anything crazy and ruined my life like what you did to Hudeon!"
Kazien took a step back. His right hand was raised, and his mana gathered to form an invisible, sharp wind blade.
Slash!
With a single swing of his hand so fast it could not be caught by the eye, the wind blade completely chopped off Haverd's shaft, which was still in an erect state due to Kazien's previous handplay.
"AAAAAHHHHHH.....!!!!!"
A very loud, shrill, and heartbreaking scream instantly echoed, shattering the silence at the desolate, rocky mountain peak.
Haverd screamed as loud as he could, his face contorting as he endured unimaginable pain in his groin area. The light magic chains binding him clinked loudly due to his desperate struggles. Fresh blood continuously spurted out from the clean cut, dripping heavily and staining the rocky ground surface beneath him.
Kazien merely stood silently observing the suffering with an emotionless face.
"Just so you know, Haverd!" Kazien said in a flat voice, letting his captive groan in pain. "Even though Alvin, Allen, and Arken are my fiancés, I have never had the low intention to carelessly touch their shafts, let alone have intimate relations with the three of them at our current age."
Amidst the torment of stinging pain that blurred his vision, Haverd forced his eyes open. He widened his eyes at Kazien, completely unexpected of what he had just heard. Among nobles, making love with a fiancé was a very common thing.
"Honestly, the three of them even often ask me and even deliberately provoke my sexual desires so that I would want to make love with them." Kazien continued, his tone of voice radiating deep respect for his three fiancés. "But I remain firm in my principles. I strictly guard and respect the purity of the three of them! I am only willing to touch and do that if we are truly officially married later."
Kazien's gaze sharpened again, piercing right into the pupils of Haverd, whose mentality was now entirely crushed. "But you... you insolently dared to say you wanted to sleep with Alvin directly right into my ear?! Who do you think you are, you bastard?"
Kazien slowly bent down. His hand picked up the shaft he had cut off that was lying on the rocky ground. He then stood up, reattached the piece of flesh to its original place on Haverd's body, and immediately channeled high-level healing magic.
A green light glowed brightly. In just a matter of seconds, the two severed parts perfectly fused back together. The cells and nerves reconnected, as if nothing had ever happened, leaving the bloodstains on the ground surface as the only evidence of the horrifying execution just now.
Haverd panted, cold sweat flooding his entire body as the pain suddenly vanished. However, the relief did not last long.
Crack!
The sound of cracking ice was heard. Using his ice magic, Kazien created a long, small-sized ice rod, but one filled with extremely sharp thorns. After that, Kazien moved his finger, making the light magic chains binding Haverd's body move to pull the youth.
The green-haired youth's body was lifted hovering in the air, both his legs forcefully pulled wide open in a highly humiliating and helpless straddling position.
"Do not expect that I will be kind enough to spare you!" Kazien said very coldly, his gaze now completely filled with an anger that had reached its peak. "Now... let us see if your sanity can survive this ice rod? I will give you my very deep 'affection' for the next three days in this place, Haverd."
Seeing that terrifyingly gleaming thorny rod, the remnants of Haverd's courage shattered to pieces.
"Kazien, I beg you... spare me!" Haverd said with a pleading voice, tears of fear streaming down his cheeks. "I am truly sorry! I swear I will never—"
"Just enjoy my sincere affection, handsome..." Kazien cut in mercilessly, replying with a seductive voice deliberately feigned to mock him.
Kazien aimed the tip of the thorny rod right at its target.
"No! I beg you, don't do that...!!" Haverd continued to plead hysterically as his eyes saw the thorny ice rod slowly but surely start approaching his hole. Extreme panic overtook him. "I beg you... mercy!!! KAZIEEEEENNNN....!!!!"
Zep!
"AAAAAHHHHHHHHH...!!!!!!!!!! IT HUUUUUURRRRTTTSSS.....!!!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, the thorny ice rod pierced in forcefully, tearing everything apart.
At the isolated and desolate rocky mountain peak, heart-wrenching screams of agony continued to echo in all directions without a single person able to hear them.
Kazien inflicted a highly terrifying and unimaginable hellish torture upon Haverd for his two great, unforgivable sins: the first being Haverd's depraved act that ruined Hudeon's life, and the second, Haverd's audacity to insolently want to sleep with Alvin, the last High Elf whom Kazien loved so much.
