Rejected by Daughter’s Second Male Lead Chapter 88

“It is said that Duke Blake and Marquis Hampton have now arrived in Crowning.”

The priest reported, cautiously watching Marius’s expression.

“It seems Duke Blake proposed during their journey. Rumors are rampant that the two of them will hold a lavish wedding ceremony rivaling that of the royal family.”

It was a false rumor, but currently, most people in the Moore Empire firmly believed the news of their marriage. Therefore, this priest could not be blamed.

After hearing the young priest’s report, Marius gave a benevolent smile.

“Thank you, brother. You may leave now.”

“Yes, High Priest! May the blessings of Lady Letina be with you.”

Having received praise from the revered High Priest, the young priest was delighted and bowed respectfully before withdrawing from the room. Thud, the door to the High Priest’s room closed.

And Marius, now alone…

“Haa… Yuan. So you’re determined to escape my grasp, is that it?”

The tears flowing from his eyes shone sacredly in the transparent sunlight from the window.

“Oh, Letina. Your son is lost and wandering. What am I to do about this?”

Marius just wept endlessly, not even thinking to wipe the tears that dripped down his face. When the tears still wouldn’t stop, he rose from his seat and threw himself onto the bed like the protagonist of a tragic love story.

“Sob, hic, Yuan… my Yuan…”

Marius’s shoulders and back heaved as he cried. There was something about the handsome, long, white-haired man crying silently that evoked a sense of pity, but gradually, a strange nasal sound began to mix with his weeping.

“Sob, huu… haah… Yuan, ahh, hooh…”

Marius’s back repeatedly rose and fell. To be precise, his back was shaking because of the movement of his lower body.

Slap, slap, the sound of flesh hitting flesh was muffled by the thick blanket. Not long after, Marius’s whole body trembled violently.

“Haa… Yuan… I miss you…”

When Marius lifted his head, his face was flushed red, and the corners of his eyes and cheeks were damp with tears. Perhaps because he had been moaning with his lips pursed to keep the sound from leaking out, his lips were a sensuously deep red.

“Yuan, my other half…”

Marius murmured affectionately. He pulled his hand out from inside his pants and looked at the pure white semen on his palm and fingers. It was an exquisite shade of white, as if it were a mixture of his hair and Yuan’s. Marius languidly closed his eyes and licked the semen clean with a long swipe of his tongue.

“Yuan, Yuan. How far are you planning to run? Just how far do you intend to torment me?”

From the first moment he saw Yuan, Marius had a lightning-like realization. This child was the other half that the god Letina had bestowed upon him.

Yuan was just like Marius as a child. Silver hair, fair skin, handsome features, and a divine power that transcended the human realm. He later learned that it was magical power, but the type of ability wasn’t that important. There were quite a few cases in history where someone with magical power developed a strong faith, and it transformed into divine power. It would be enough to re-educate Yuan in that way.

Marius had always been lonely. When he was chosen as a messenger of God and his hair turned white, he was sent to the temple as if he were being kidnapped. Everyone treated him as the next High Priest, and they were awestruck just by making eye contact with him. They would nod their heads at whatever Marius said, and they never dared to defy him.

With all due respect to Lady Letina, Marius’s life was constantly listless and boring. No matter how old he got, his appearance didn’t age due to his divine power, but he was just so tired of living. He wondered if he would have cherished the rest of his life more if his skin had sagged, his bones had weakened, and his organs had slowly ceased to function.

Then he met Yuan. The young Yuan, who possessed the potential of a High Priest, was different from ordinary people.

‘Your ability is an immense divine power. Its depth is impossible to fathom.’

‘I don’t know anything about that crap. Let me go, you filthy old geezer!’

‘What did you say?’

Marius found the time he spent with Yuan so enjoyable. It wasn’t in a sexual sense. It was just… Yuan was a child who transcended that dimension.

The more coercively he acted, the more Yuan rebelled, and a sense of vitality flowed from him. A liveliness that Marius had never felt in his entire life was boiling inside Yuan.

Since Yuan was a child with such strong magical power, Marius had to use a vast amount of divine power to subdue him, but even that was fun and thrilling. Yuan had, at some point, become the stimulating element in Marius’s life.

That was why, when Yuan ran away from the temple one day, Marius was only delighted. How will you entertain me today, Yuan. My Yuan.

Even when he found out that Yuan had run away to the Magic Tower, Marius did not despair. He knew that the Magic Tower was reclusive and did not easily let go of those who became mages. Especially with a talent like Yuan, anyone would be reluctant to lose him.

But Marius felt that even this was like the games he used to play with Yuan. Yuan gets angry, curses, spits, wails, and runs away. Then Marius soothes, hits, hugs, tortures, and catches Yuan.

‘Yuan knows it too. How to make me happier…’

Marius genuinely believed that Yuan had run away to the Magic Tower for the sake of the game between them. So he waited. For the day Yuan would show a weakness and reveal himself.

Finally, that day came. About 10 years ago, that is, when Yuan was fifteen. Yuan came out of the Magic Tower alone to run an errand for the Tower Master. Marius quietly tailed him. He had told the other priests that he would be taking time alone for penance, so there was no chance of being disturbed.

The grown-up Yuan had grown his silver hair to his shoulders, and although he was a bit scruffy, he was still dazzlingly beautiful. As expected of a talent worthy of becoming the next High Priest. At this time, Yuan still had an androgynous feel to him, so at a glance, it was easy to mistake him for a girl.

While Yuan was carrying out his mission, Marius secretly followed behind him and took care of the scoundrels who tried to make a move on Yuan. It was only regrettable that there was so much trash in the world that needed to be cleaned up in the name of God.

However, in a moment of carelessness, Marius came face to face with Yuan. As soon as he encountered Marius in the deep, dark forests of the west, Yuan froze.

‘My, Yuan! How can there be such a coincidence! Shouldn’t you be at the Magic Tower? Why are you loitering in a place like this at this hour? If you’re a delinquent youth, our temple also provides education.’

As Marius smiled and greeted him warmly, Yuan’s face turned deathly pale.

‘Get lost, you crazy old geezer!’

Yuan was flustered, thinking he had run into Marius purely by coincidence.

Ah, my cute Yuan. He was like that back then. Marius shed tears again.

Yuan, who had been frozen for a moment, soon began to unleash terrifying killing magic at Marius, as if to take revenge for his childhood. He was barely able to dodge, but some of the spells were so powerful that even Marius’s divine power couldn’t block them. In the end, Marius fainted on the spot, and by the time he woke up, Yuan was already gone.

He later heard the story that Yuan had run away from there, wandered into a human trafficking den of the Gallut ducal family, and met the Blake family’s young lady.

It was a regrettable matter. If he had woken up and chased after Yuan right away, Yuan wouldn’t have spouted such nonsense about marrying Cecilia. At the time, he was so flustered by the surge of lust that hit him as soon as he regained consciousness that he failed to pursue Yuan.

At that time, Marius was in his 50s, despite his youthful appearance. He had never suffered from a strong sex drive until he reached his 50s. Whenever young priests were stripped of their holy orders for having love affairs or sexual intercourse, Marius would inwardly pity them. What on earth are those religious people who serve Lady Letina doing? Isn’t sexual desire something that disappears if you exercise or pray?

However, he was ignorant. True sexual desire was an intense impulse that could not be ignored. It cunningly dominated Marius’s brain and heated his body.

‘Yuan knocked me out… He’s gotten stronger than before…’

Marius had become aroused. And even now, the fact that Yuan was strong enough to kill him agitated him. The only person who could make him feel this way was, and always would be, Yuan.

“Yuan… Yuan…”

Marius brought his hand down again. Recalling the past with Yuan stirred his desires once more.

He could not lose his precious Yuan to a loud-mouthed non-believer like Duke Blake. How angry he had been when he thought Yuan had been raped by Duke Blake.

Squelch, squelch, Marius’s hand, gripping his sticky, semen-covered member, tightened. As he approached his climax, he made a vow. He would never let the two of them get married. If necessary, he would borrow the power of Lady Letina to stop that marriage. Because Yuan… had been Marius’s for a very long time. His long and arduous life needed Yuan.
