I Grabbed The Tyrant's Heart

“My Euseniel.”

As an adult, Tess called my name in a soft tone. He smiled, narrowing his eyes, and covered my cheeks with his large hands.

There were many things I wanted to say when I met my childhood friend, but in the end it was a stupid question.

The Crown Prince's only friend, I, Euseniel Hardland.

One day, our family is expelled from the capital for having had a bad influence on the Crown Prince.

Reunited after 14 years, he was very different.

“Why… Why did you change like this?

As Tess tilted her head, her black hair, apparently blonde, flew down.

“It’s your taste.”

Red lips drew arcs as if seducing me, and the dark blue eyes slowly loosened.

“Because I like you, my Euseniel.”
