One day, Sharhan took on a bodyguard request, reluctantly. The generous contract fee and overly complex magic contract were suspicious enough.... more>>

But the peron he’s supposed to protect is….that damn Lestel!?

“Les…tel?”

“Hi, honey.”

Lestel smiled, his eyes curving sweetly.

Sharhan’s eyes, wide with shock, twisted in fury.

“…I told you not to call me that, you crazy bastard!”

Sharhan tries to cancel the contract, but thanks magic, he’s now stuck guarding Lestel. Indefinitely!

The empire has fallen into ruin from the spread of Paphun tea originating in Luhas, and Sharhan must now evade the walking corpses to save his only sibling.

“I’m leaving at dawn tomorrow for Serman. What about you?”

“Honey, you weren’t thinking of going without me, were you? Your life is in my hands, you know.”

In the end, the two of them travel back to their hometown together, and along the way, Lestel relentlessly tries to seduce Sharhan…

“Dream on, you lunatic. I’m never sleeping with you.”

Gong: Lestel Ailun (23)

“You really should’ve read the contract carefully, honey.”

A handsome man with long silver hair and green eyes, heir to the powerful and wealthy House Ailun. He has been Sharhan’s sworn enemy and destined rival since birth, and is now the head of Black Pearl, as well as Sharhan’s current employer.

Soo: Sharhan Kaios (23)

“Guess I really am just a damn mutt on a leash.”

A striking beauty with black hair and violet eyes, and a mercenary of noble descent.

He’s always considered Lestel a lifelong rival and enemy, but now he’s stuck guarding the very man he despises thanks to a contract. <<less
