Chapter 3: The desire of the duke

As the wedding ceremony began, Hylos scowled and glared at Iras, who ignored him. The Egyptian royals whispered among themselves, shocked that a same-sex marriage was taking place.

Aya's mother seethed with anger upon learning that Hylos was marrying her adopted son, Iras. She attended the ceremony, her face a picture of rage. Meanwhile, Aya wondered why her mother was so angry, unaware that her mother had a past affair with Hylos.

"Now that you're married, go and celebrate," said the Pharaoh of Egypt.

"Thank you, Your Majesty," Hylos replied sorrowfully.

Iras bid farewell, saying he had an important matter to attend to, but the Pharaoh responded, "It's your wedding day; go and celebrate in your chambers."

Hylos sat on the bed, with Iras beside him, but Hylos looked uncomfortable. When he saw Iras removing his clothes, he became frightened and suddenly fell onto the bed, saying, "What do you plan to do?" Hylos's voice trembled, and his face turned pale.

Iras calmly replied, "What do you think? I'm going to sleep."

"What are you doing, staying with me? You're disgusting!" Hylos shouted.

Iras approached him, smirking, and sat on top of Hylos. "Don't assume, Duke Hylos, I'm not interested in you."

Iras stood up and lay on the bed, while Hylos sat.

For two days, Iras stayed in his throne, busy with affairs. Meanwhile, Hylos enjoyed himself in the palace with Egyptian women.

The sun shone brightly as Hylos stood outside, deciding to return to the palace. Iras entered with his companion, hearing laughter and voices. He quickly entered the room and saw Hylos embracing a naked woman.

Enraged, Iras shouted, "Leave, all of you!" Hylos, drunk and disheveled, looked up. "Why are you chasing away my women?" he asked.

Iras approached, saying, "I'm the one to obey." Hylos stood, pushing Iras against the wall, but he stumbled and fell due to intoxication. Iras lifted him and said, "Leave, all of you!" with an angry voice.

As Iras laid Hylos on the bed, he stared at him, surprised by Hylos's handsome appearance. As he turned to leave, Hylos suddenly jumped on him, and Iras was shocked. Hylos kissed him desperately, and Iras pushed him away, but Hylos continued undeterred.

Iras grew angry and punched Hylos, but he seemed unfazed. Hylos removed Iras's clothes, and Iras became frightened. He tried to crawl away, but Hylos grabbed his legs, pulling him back.

Suddenly, something hard pressed against Iras's buttocks, and he felt a surge of fear.

"Stop, Duke Hylos!" but Hylos didn't listen. He continued until he pulled down ira's pants and inserted his hardness into ira's buttocks. Iras screamed in pain as he struggled, while Hylos seemed out of control, thrusting rapidly.

"Ah, Iras... you're so tight... I've never felt this way before," Hylos whispered, his voice filled with pleasure and desire, as he continued to thrust deeper.

Hylos flipped Iras's body over while still thrusting, "Ah, ah... I can't hold back anymore," Hylos's voice moaned as he continued to thrust into Iras's backside.

As morning arrived, Hylos woke up with a mixture of confusion and a hint of a smile on his face, lying naked in the large bed. He sat up, looking around at the scattered clothes and wet sheets. He quickly got out of bed, realizing he was naked and couldn't recall the events of the previous night.

Panicked, Hylos hastily dressed and left the room, heading to the dining hall. He found Iras sitting at the table, surrounded by servants, and a variety of food laid out.

"Come and eat," Iras said, while Hylos stood frozen, trying to recall the previous night's events.

"I don't remember what happened last night," Hylos said, his face scrunched in concern.

"Nothing happened, so just sit down," Iras replied.

"Do you want to annul our marriage?" Iras asked, his tone neutral.

Hylos's face lit up with excitement. "Yes, I want to get out of this nightmare."

"We have five days to report to the king and request an annulment, so just wait," Hylos said.

Iras stood up, wincing in pain as he did so, a lingering reminder of the previous night's .

"What's wrong?" Hylos asked.

"Nothing," Iras replied, turning and walking away.

Iras visited his sister, Aya. "General Iras, my brother, married to the duke everyone's been fighting over. Why didn't you tell me you had a relationship with Duke Hylos?" Aya asked jokingly.

Their mother, Ada, approached Iras and slapped him. "You're a shame, and you succumbed to a man!" Ada glared at Iras.

Iras couldn't respond before Aya intervened, "Mother, the king permitted Iras and Hylos's marriage. You have no right to be angry."

Ada remained silent and left. Iras thanked Aya.

Meanwhile, at Hylos's former palace, he rode a grand sedan chair carried by Egyptian male servants. Hylos held his head, eyes closed, surrounded by simple folk cheering and whistling.

Egyptian maidens admired Hylos's handsome appearance and stunning golden attire. They shouted his name, and Hylos signaled his servants to silence them.

As he entered his palace, a crowned figure greeted him. "My beloved Queen, what brings you to my home?" Hylos asked disinterestedly.

"My beloved Duke, I miss your embraces and kisses. May I taste them again?" Queen asked desperately.

Hylos scoffed, "You're foolish. I'm disgusted by you."

The Queen pleaded, "My Duke, what have I done wrong? I'll do anything to regain our past."

Hylos turned away, ignoring the Queen. "Leave my palace, or I'll report your desperation to the king."

The enraged Queen stood up and left.
