In Satan's Own Hand

Blessed by the Holy Father * The newly appointed Pope Shamir I strictly observes the rules, living a life of abstinence and devotion. He cherishes all people and, as God's spokesman, spreads truth and the Gospel. He is the perfect Holy Father, revered by all, flawless in appearance, conduct, and virtue. Yet he believes he has done three things he should not have: First, he ignored his godfather's advice and chose to abandon medicine for the clergy. Second, when he broke up with his young lover, he slapped him. Third, three years later, he tore up his lover's handwritten letter... No, Duke Winston's letter. * “I have come to confess, Holy Father.” Duke Winston's manner was devout, like any believer who had come to make confession. Shamir said, “God will listen to your heart.” Winston smiled for no apparent reason. “I regret not tearing open your pure white robes, my dear Holy Father.” “I willingly accept your judgment. Cut open my heart as an offering, and let the flames of the stake await me. But I will never forget possessing you. My dear Holy Father.” Even casting a cold glance at a member of the clergy is a sin. What judgment awaits someone who becomes the Pope's lover and gives himself over to such wanton wickedness? Beneath the gaze of the statue of God, upon the Holy See, the duke knelt beside the sacred Holy Father and pleaded, “Would you beg prettily for me?” Shamir gazed down at him, coaxing, “Isn't that what you're good at?” “Please.” So Shamir cupped his face, bent down to bestow a kiss, and praised him gently. “How adorable.” A meteor shower swallowed by giants, a pyre roasting corrupted souls Leeches crawl from swamps toward human heads, pearls form inside bellies Does the world fit you? Who do you kneel to and confess your sins? We are not free Bastard is the highest praise ★ One-on-one romance, devoted to each other in body and soul; the younger one is two or three years younger ★ A highly fantastical Western-inspired setting, not based on history or real people, unrelated to reality 💘 Enjoy reading~ 🍁 Coming soon: The Unasked Eye 🍁~ The Tong clan are difficult to kill and impossible to eradicate. Their eyes can see all things and peer into life and death. Yet this strange man is blind. He wears golden bells and a white blindfold year-round, and his bone knife takes lives as easily as pulling weeds, in direct opposition to the Tong clan's mission. His long life has held few events worth mentioning, which makes the handful he has all the more precious First, he fought Pei Chan to the death, yet ended up in bed with him. After waking, he killed Pei Chan for the seventh time; Second, Pei Chan killed him for the seventh time. Third, a century later, when he opened his eyes again, his sight had returned, and he awoke in someone else's bed. He saw the face of the person beside him, a face impossible to forget, yet for a long time he heard no voice from him. Coughing up blood, he chuckled and was just about to ask, “Who are you?”... Then the eye that could peer into fate saw that the other man's life was nearly over. The bone knife, sealed away for a hundred years, began to hum. He already knew the answer. ...What a pity. 💘 Theme: #Song and Freedom#
