    Summary

    When Phainon finally moved to Castrum Kremnos—the city he’d daydreamed about since childhood—he expected many things: difficult dialects, lovely cuisine, and locals built like war gods. He did not expect to flirt with a man he assumed was a priest.

    “So… I read Nikador’s scriptures once. Very inspiring. Huge fan.”

    Finger guns.

    Pew pew.

    A silence worthy of a sacred text.

    Unfortunately, that “priest” happened to be the Crown Prince.

    Even more unfortunately, the Crown Prince thought he was cute.

    Summary

    Tenderness and lust thrum through Mydei’s veins. His fists clench deeper into the makeshift bedding by Phainon’s head. 

    Phainon knows nothing of seduction. He doesn’t need it to arouse Mydei’s want for him. Batting his lashes, a pleased smile—it’s enough. It’s infuriating how it’s enough. 

    He doesn’t want it any other way.

    After the end, Mydei and Phainon come together in a golden wheat field.

    Summary

    It was a cultural miscommunication. The product of a cultural difference. Phainon was certain of it. After all, Phainon had hardly been aware of the implications when he first arrived in Okhema. It wasn’t until he attended a class on Okheman theatre at the Grove and they were halfway through analysing a play script from Era Bellica that he was exposed to the symbolism for the first time. 

    The girl next to him had taken pity and timidly whispered the answer to his question. 

    Throwing apples was a ploy at seduction.

    By the way Mydei happily crunched at the apple perfectly matched to the one he had thrown with every intention for Phainon to catch, and the lack of scandalised attention from the surrounding Kremnoans, tossing apples clearly did not carry the same meaning in Kremnos as it did in Okhema.

    A cultural difference over apples leads to some self-inflicted torture on Phainon’s behalf. After all, if Mydei is ignorant to the symbolism then there’s no harm to Phainon indulging in a little fantasy.
