Colonel or Succubus?

Everyone who knew Emil knew he was a fanatical admirer of Colonel Levi.

But the colonel went missing during a war.

Every day, Emil wandered around like a living corpse, praying for the colonel to return.

The good news was that his wish came true: he saw the colonel on another planet.

The bad news was that only half his wish came true. The person he brought back merely looked exactly like the colonel.

He mistook Ian for the colonel and poured out all his passion without reservation, lowering himself to the dirt in the process. All he got in return was a farce.

And his colonel remains missing to this day.

Naturally, he directed his hatred at Ian.

But after Ian left, Emil had to numb himself with alcohol every day to keep from missing the spoiled "little emperor" he had doted on.

Even if he deliberately avoided everything connected to Ian, how could anyone conceal the brilliance of someone so clever and handsome?

It would hardly be surprising if a thousand people loved him.

When Ian learned he was only a stand-in, he felt he had suffered the most humiliating disgrace.

He quarreled with Emil, spent his nights partying and carousing, and didn't come home.

He only reluctantly returned to their former life after Emil begged him. But a rift had already formed between them, and being together only bred more resentment.

One day, he stumbled upon a clue to the truth.

To get to the bottom of it, he went along with the other party's demands and faked his death, disappearing from view.

Then he reappeared before everyone as Colonel Levi.

Only then did he learn that he and the colonel were cursed twins.

And that, in this decaying world of old conventions, they were the most perfectly matched couple of all.
