The Understudy of the Crown Prince's Harem · Chapter 3

The Duke's Son Who Kept Looking

Kaelen sends gifts and questions, and Cael tries to redirect him to the real Aurelian. The real Prince, bored by devotion, humiliates Kaelen in private and shatters the worship; Cael repairs what he can anonymously. That night the second hour burns, and Cael forgets the name of a boy who lent him notes.
