There's Something Wrong With You, My Lord!

Chapter 121: [Bonus Chapter] I Ate It

Xagrien’s head was a mess with doubts and fear. But it’s more like a fear that his difference will cause him to part with the moon elf lord.

He wants to be the best for the moon elf lord but what if from the very beginning he was far from perfect?

Luis faintly felt that someone is not with them.

He cast a glance at the male beside him and saw that Xagrien is deep in his thoughts.

[Do not overthink.] Luis said telepathically.

This instantly jolted Xagrien out of his pessimistic thoughts.

[Don’t you think that your being oblivious to my natural oppression played a great role in pulling us closer?]

The soft voice of the bearer inside his head made Xagrien regain his composure. He wants to hold Luis’ hand and to his surprise, the moon elf lord snaked his fingers to his, locking their hands to each other.

The warm skin of his moon elf lord reminded him a very important thing. Right, Luis chose him.

That should be enough to clear all the irrational fear he is feeling.

Xagrien felt the familiar fast beating of his heart. Only the moon elf lord can do this to him. He did his best to press down the smile on his lips.

"You!!!" Feren yelled in shock upon seeing this sight. That beautiful bearer he is trying to charm is holding hands with the brute who punched him in the dingdong!

"This bastard is your mate?" Feren looked incredolulous as if he saw the sky was sliced in half.

"Yes, so don’t you dare touch my bearer." Xagrien put on that domineering attitude that made Luis snort.

’Oh? Why haven’t I got the memo?’ the moon elf lord secretly pouted at this bold and inaccurate declaration.

Of course, he would be a sore liar if he were to deny that he was pleased by this, he wanted to do cart wheels and back flips due to the fluttering feeling in his stomach.

But he held it in, the situation doesn’t even let him to giggle.

The atmosphere shows signs of war so he swallowed the fluttering feeling in his heart.

"Okay, you said that your father was a skilled maker of magical artifacts right?"

Luis saw that the two will have a heated argument once again so he immediately stood in between them.

"Yes, my lord and he’s dead." The rugged man with grey hairs and fine lines all over his face answered matter of factly, almost bordering to sarcasm.

Luis ignored the sour face of Feren and asked with a blinding grin, "Then you must be good at it too."

"My lord, my father and I conjure different metals. Mine is nature’s power-rich adamantium and his was a magic-based Mythril. That is the reason why he went to Rinoia Kingdom to study magic and there he met my mother. A female mother. One that is like a bearer-"

"Yes, I know that, they have that lumps of flesh in their chest called breasts and some unfortunate ones are flat like a wall," Luis deadpanned. "They have monstrous instincts that transcend common sense and once they caught a whiff of something, they can instantly paint an accurate picture of your secret."

"That is too detailed, my lord," Nero could only say, remembering his past comrades... If they can be called as such.

"But that is not far from the truth," He added based on experience.

"As expected of the moon elf lord..." Feren could only say.

"Thank you for the compliments," Luis bowed a little. "However, you didn’t answer my question at all, Feren."

The old man was silent for a while, "I am indeed well-versed but I do not have the qualifications to make one. My mana is close to nothing."

"Oh?"

"My contracted beast and I have a flimsy contract due to my lack of mana. That fellow was staying with me out of long acquaintanceship and camaraderie."

Luis raised a brow, "Oh?"

This fact alone solidifies that this old man is not that bad at all. Seems like his eye for people was still good. The moon elf lord fleetingly touched his chest. What a relief.

Nero chimed in and explained to the confused Luis. "My lord, making magical artifacts requires the maker to have mana because they need to imprint their mana on the circuits carved in the equipment. But there is also an exception to this rule. If the maker has a good quality mana stone, then it is possible for individuals who have little mana to complete the circuit."

"You know how to make an artifact?" Luis lowered his head to meet Nero’s green eyes.

"Not knowledgeable enough, my lord. My forte was making arrays and magic circles."Nero shook his tail.

"That’s impressive." Luis wanted to pat his back. Nero was a good investment. Seriously, he wanted to congratulate himself for having a great vision. He was still great!

Xagrien silently pressed his blooming smile as he watched the satisfied look of the bearer. ’So adorable, indeed.’

He mentally noted that, his bearer likes it whenever he is right. It’s great to learn things that will make Luis happy as early as now.

While the master and subordinate are conversing, Feren fished something inside his clothes and pulled out an old necklace that has a long and glimmering piece of sky-blue stone.

"Is this the mana stone that you are referring to?" The old man held out the memorabilia left by his father.

Luis manipulated his power to receive the necklace. Just a touch and he could feel the mana emanating from it.

He showed it to Nero and the husky nodded his fluffy head. His golden fur shook due to the motion.

"In my opinion, it is a mana stone. A mid-grade at best."

"Can I?" Xagrien signaled that he wants to see the necklace and since Luis thought that the man was curious, Luis willingly gave it to the guy.

"Of course you can, as long it’s you," Luis winked at the male.

Seeing the two were shamelessly flirting in front of him, Feren clicked his tongue and mumbled in a very low voice that is full of bitterness. "Tsk, kids."

However, the two doesn’t care at all.

Nero is training himself to be number about all this so he maintained a straight posture.

"Damn it, my father didn’t tell me how to use it." He said in a loud voice to burst the pink bubbles around the two flirty youngesters.

Luis retracted his flirtations and looked at the old man with pity. However, that didn’t stop him from uttering a dark joke. "Don’t worry, you will meet him years from now."

"My lord, is this your way of pushing me away because you respect your relationship with that kid? You can still consider me as your consort."

Luis laughed, long lashes fluttering like a butterfly, "Feren, if I am a horse then I only eat fresh grass and not dried hay."

While the two are exchanging banters, they didn’t know that something was changing inside Xagrien.

The silver-haired young man’s breath became shallow as his purple eyes are glued at the mana stone in his hand.

His eyes are dilating and he could feel his mouth watering.

’Throw it away, stay away from it!’ that is the rational part of his mind was saying. But something akin to instinct was forbidding him not to.

This feeling was like the dryness that one feels when they are parched.

Or the stomach pain when he was left starving for days.

In this situation, the mana stone was both his water and food.

Xagrien succumbed to the foreign temptation that he felt for the first time. He quietly put it in his mouth, behind everyone’s knowledge.

Crunch! Crunch! The loud crushing of the mana stone interrupted the conversation.

"Xagrien?" Nero stood up and look towards his friend. Due to his lower height, his line of vision is near the ground and there, he saw the black string that he saw from the necklace.

What is going on?

Luis caught on the sound and he turned to look at his boyfriend. He saw Xagrien gulping something. His dark green eyes scanned the big hands of his lover, the mana stone was nowhere to be found.

A dark foreshadowing appeared in his head.

Luis squinted his eyes at his man, ’Don’t tell me he ate that thing?!’

What the hell?!

If he was poised when Feren revealed that he is a half-blood, then now, his composure vanished.

’Fuxk a real battle between four-stars might happen at this rate!’

"Hey, brat! Where is my father’s keepsake?" Feren asked, his eyes like a laser pointing at Xagrien’s vital parts.

The culprit cleared his throat and answered in a raspy voice, "I-I ate it."

And just like that the area around became silent.
