The Gambler

Chance Boden was a man who was never satisfied with his life. He was the third son of Marquis Boden. Although the marquis was rich, he was a very stingy nobleman. His children never got to experience wealthy nobles' lifestyle. Toys, clothes and even food were sparse.

On top of that, since Chance was a middle son of four children, he was not prioritized like the eldest son nor cared like the youngest. The child Chance never got what he wanted when he asked the others directly. In time, he learnt how to acquire things he wanted in indirect ways and how to bargain by himself without anybody teaching him. He also learnt guess people's emotions through their expressions.

When he became older, he envied his eldest brother who could live his life comfortably because he was the heir of the family. His second brother urged Chance to join the Royal Knight Order where he had already made a name for himself. But Chance was not good at fighting. And he did not think he could achieve the prosperous life he dreamt of with just the rank of a royal knight.

The only way he could think of, for a younger son of a noble like him to acquire power and wealth, was through the successor of the throne! Among the princes of the kingdom, the second prince was the most likely to ascend the throne since he was the only one favoured by the king. As such, many nobles, young and old, tried their best to impress him and the young prince already had a great number of nobles supporting him.

Chance knew that the second prince would not notice an insignificant third son of a marquis like him even if he were to pledge his loyalty to him. But on the other hand, the first prince had only a few supporters behind him. Although the King disliked the first prince's mother, the first prince was still the first-in-line to succeed the throne since the position of the crown prince was not bestowed to anyone yet. If he could avoid major mistakes and just survive, there was a chance for him to ascend the throne after the King's death.

Chance decided to gamble his life on the first prince. He pledged his loyalty to the unpopular prince. In return for his service, the first prince recognized his wits and let him stay by his side.

Chance was worried for the prince when he was appointed as the chief commander of the army to fight against the invading enemies. His relief when the prince conquered the enemy and returned to the royal palace, however, quickly turned into anxiety because the prince suddenly ordered him to serve another man.

He was proud when the prince told him that he chose him because he was his most reliable retainer. But he had big concerns when he heard about the person he had to serve. The prince told him that person was eccentric and immoral. But he hinted him that if that person were to succeed, he would become more powerful than the King of Soleil.

"Only wizards enjoy an authority greater than a king!" Chance organized his thoughts. "He must be an awakened magician! But it is extremely difficult for a magician to become a 6th or 7th tier wizards. Can that man really reach such heights? But it seems the prince thinks highly of him. What should I do?"

Although he could somehow refuse the prince's order, Chance was afraid the prince might become disappointed with him. He might get angry at him, and in worst case, he might never use him again! If that happened, all his efforts up until then would be wasted and his dreams would never be fulfilled. Such losses would be too big that he dared not gamble on that. He decided to follow the prince's order in the end.

Nevertheless, when he was given a chance to go back to the first prince, he had second thoughts. Even so, he got the feeling that he was being tested so he held on to his resolve.

However, his resolve wavered again when his cherry blossom on his bottom was battered and teared apart by the dull sword on Huvel's crotch!

Before he met Huvel, he genuinely thought that it would be easy to manipulate the young man since he was a young nobleman who was only about 17 years old. But when Huvel told him to pledge loyalty only to him, he came to realized he was being played ever since he stepped into Huvel's room! He cussed at his own naivety as his *sshole was being assaulted continuously by Huvel's burning hot rod.

"He had already thought of all! First, he tested my resolve by making me waver. I persisted so I passed. Then, he told me to cut ties with the prince and be loyal only to him. He had me who was born a decade earlier than him in his palm the whole time! Such genius! I have a feeling that he could actually become a great man in the future!

If I can seize the position of his right hand, when he becomes a wizard, I'll also raise up with him and gain riches, much greater than those of high-ranking nobles of Soleil! If I can make my dreams come true, some pain in the *ss is just a small price! I'm gambling my life on him!"

"...I... I will pledge my loyalty!" Chance finally voiced out his decision but the pain in his back made his voice shaky. "Ple... Please stop po... pounding me... I want to kneel and do it properly!"

"Good!" Huvel exclaimed with a big smile. "But you don't need to kneel down. Just pledge in your current position now. I prefer this way!"

"In... In this position??" Chance stuttered.

Pledging one's loyalty was a very important matter so he believed that everyone should do it properly and earnestly. Never had he thought he would be the one to do pledging in a humiliating posture: he was completely naked; his legs were wide spread; and worst, his ass was being pounded hard!

Nevertheless, he could only follow his eccentric lord's order!

"I,... ah ahh... Chance Boden, pledge... my loyalty to Sir Huvel. Huff... huff... I will be loyal... only to you from now on! Ahhh~"

"I... acknowledge your pledge,... Chance Boden! Huff!" Huvel stopped his pounding. "I will reward you if you perform well. And I will make you suffer living hell if you betray me."

"I... won't disappoint you,... Sir!"

"It's Master."

Huvel resumed his pounding. His thrusts became faster. He removed his manhood from the hole it was residing in at the last moment. It spat out a huge load of cum on Chance's belly and some even flew to his chin! It was still throbbing after spatting all out. And it was dyed red with... which might have been Chance's pledging blood!
