Aphlo had always known that the person occupying this body was not his real older brother.
But so what?
They shared the highest bloodline and were each other's closest companions in this world, inseparable and indispensable.
"Who am I?"
"You're my older brother."
"Your older brother?"
"That's right, my older brother. We were born to be together. You're my most loyal knight. You'll protect me until... you can't resist eating me."
--The serious blurb--
Aphlo was the "Queen" created by the laboratory to control its biological weapons.
The red-haired beauty had a face more radiant than a rose. Even the glittering crown paled beside him. He lay naked on the laboratory table, like the most beautiful god born from sea foam.
His first appearance left everyone awestruck, their minds filled with endless imaginings.
With a beauty capable of driving anyone mad, Aphlo was spoiled and willful. He seemed to know instinctively how to toy with people's hearts. Even the laboratory's brutal, cold-hearted monsters were brought to heel, becoming his most loyal knights.
These monsters were more obedient than dogs. They wagged their tails and fought desperately, all just to earn a single glance from the beauty on the throne.
In the deepest part of the underground laboratory, two unusual samples of blood were extracted. Following the instructions in the Book of the Old Ones, they used the two samples to create the Old King and his Queen.
But they didn't know that the one they believed to be the "King" had long since been replaced by an indescribable monster.
Only Aphlo discovered the truth, but he didn't care. Instead, day after day, he leaned close to the other's ear and whispered hoarsely, as if casting a spell: "Ah, brother, eat me. Wouldn't it be nice for us to become one?"
The tall knight remained silent. Only his eyes, fixed on Aphlo, burned with scorching heat.
He was a vile usurper.
He had taken another's identity and stolen what belonged to someone else.
But he didn't regret it.
In ancient mythology, the Old King and his Queen were twins. The king married his blood relative and divided his authority in two.
While the bright sun shone over the earth, no one noticed the evil thing forgotten by the world in the cold, dark depths below.
No one loved him, and no one cared about him.
Until at last, unable to endure his loneliness any longer, he crawled out from the abyss
"Who am I?"
"You're my older brother."
The red-haired beauty spoke with affectionate familiarity.
#A scheming, flirtatious beauty and his silent, towering guardian knight#
Reader's Guide:
1. The top and bottom have no blood relation. The real older brother is already dead.
2. There will be plenty of yandere talk. The protagonist is absolutely irresistible, and everyone loves him. If that's not for you, please feel free to leave.
3. One-on-one, each other's first and only love.
