A Slight Disturbance

  "Oh, Roger~"

  There was that annoying man's voice again.

  "Roger~"

  The aforementioned man, sitting behind his desk just sighed while rubbing his eyes when an awfully familiar-looking tall man with black hair, dark-coloured eyes and a smug smirk on his handsome face stood near the door to his office. What he wore was something Roger would consider as eye-catching. A loose white shirt with a long v-neck, showing off his chest a bit, tight black pants, a pair of shoes which show off his ankles...

  To put it simply, what Anastacius was wearing was too inappropriate for Roger's taste. Well, it might be considered modest by the man but that did not matter.

  "Ah, I knew I'd find you here," Anastacius exclaimed as he approached the older man. "Busy with paperwork, I'm assuming?"

  "What do you want from me now, Anastacius?" Roger asked after taking off his golden-rimmed glasses, putting them on the table. Just a few hours ago the ex-ruler had waltzed into his office, bothering his short break, stealing his cup of hot tea from his hand. "And to answer your question, yes. You are bothering me. Can't you just leave me alone for today?"

  "Hmm, let me see..." Anastacius tapped his chin, presumably thinking about something. Then, he smiled. "Nope."

  Roger sighed. The man would've definitely hung out with Jennette today if she wasn't going out to town with Ijekiel, Athanasia and Lucas. Before leaving, Ijekiel had mentioned to him that they wouldn't return home around five in the evening. What would four teenagers even do at a small town with all that time?

  "Do you have anything better to do?" Roger asked, leaning back on his seat, resting his head on the palm of his hand. He watched in silence as Anastacius sat on his desk. "Besides annoying the hell out of me?"

  "What? You don't like me? Roger, I've been living under the same roof as you for more than a year. I thought you've gained feelings for me during the time we've been together." Anastacius shook his head, folding his arms across his chest. "How disappointing..."

  What was he talking about? Why would Roger fall in love with a man who almost overthrew their current emperor? The duke was grateful that the crown princess had forgiven them both of treason.

  "Anastacius, I would prefer if you leave my office immediately," the silver-haired man told his permanent house guest while pointing to the door. Just being with this man irritated him.

  "But I'm bored right now. Would it hurt anyone if I want to... play with you for a short while?" 

  "I see that you are trying to flirt with me and it's not working. So I would advise you to stop embarrassing yourself and leave. Now." Roger really did not want to deal with Anastacius today, especially when the man was acting like a flirt with. What was up with that, anyway?

  Anastacius actually pouted, which was not a good look on him. "Hmm... I'm going to ignore what you just say because I can," he said. "By the way. I have learned something new and interesting. Would you like to know?"

  "... What?"

  "My brother is in a relationship with his knight Robane."

  If Roger was drinking his tea at the moment, he would love to spit it out and let it hit Anastacius' face. Instead, he looked up at the smiling man with wide eyes. "His Majesty... is in a relationship with Sir Robane..."

  "And guess what? My brother is the bottom in their relationship." Anastacius chuckled while running his fingers through his black hair. "Who would have thought, huh?"
