1 year had passed since Romulus and Einar parted their way. As soon as Romulus went back to Askra Tribe, he was promoted as a general. Romulus is probably the youngest one in the Askran to be promoted as a general.

Reason?

Because King of Askran was grateful to Romulus for being able to rekindle the relationship between the Askra Tribe and the Den Tribe, though the two tribes were not on bad terms but for King Askran, it was a bit awkward for him to reach out to the Den tribes now that his tribe is having a sort of problem with its finances.

In fact, he was relieved and beyond happy when the Chief of Den Tribes gave a lot of gold for both Romulus and the King of Askra Tribe. At first, Romulus denied it, but he accepted it when Einar's father persistently offered him.

Now, he is the richest general in the Askra Tribe. However, he didn't plan to build a castle or anything that a noble would spend their gold. He was offered a last name only if he agreed to marry the King's daughter. But, Romulus hasn't decided to marry yet despite the princess being the fairest lady in the Askra Tribe.

 It's because he feels there's a big hole inside his heart. 

He was used to sniffing mint and charred herbs as he woke up. He was accustomed to hearing pleasant yet soothing voices that were constantly amusing him. He was accustomed to eating really awful meals prepared by an enchanting man. He was used to his daily routine of being pretentiously unaware of being stared at by such breathtaking deep emerald green eyes. In comparison to the Askra Tribe, he was used to the tranquil moments in the Den Tribes.

Romulus was lost in his thought as his friend disturbed his peaceful time.

"Aren't you feel disgusted with the den tribe? How could a man love a man? Where did they find the hole?"

"I heard that even a man could get pregnant? And, can you imagine a woman with a man's thingy? That's so disgusting! I bet the girls in the den tribes haven't tasted the real man's elephant," 

"Romulus, you are not like them, right? Because I've never seen you fucking whores every night again,"

"No way! There's no way our handsome general would be disgusting like the den tribes?"

Just like that, they laughed mockingly. Some were posing themselves as pregnant women mockingly. 

"That is too disgusting. If I impregnate a man, I will kill him along with the baby," Romulus said as he laughed mockingly. 

While inside his heart, he was shredded apart with the thought of killing a child that is half of him and half of the man that he loved. 

Einar's soft chuckled, ringing inside his heart.

In my tribes, it is possible. Even you and I can have a child if we get married.

Remembering it made Romulus broke even more. He places a hand at his heart, trying to soothe the throbbing pain while showing his perfect smile. He gently caressed the throbbing heart. Romulus felt that his heart was cursing him.

As someone professional with hiding his emotion, there's no way anyone would believe he was actually crying behind his smiling face.

However, his smile slowly tensed after someone mention the love of his life. 

 "How about that one pretty guy? I believe he is the son of the Chief?"

Romulus asked, and his charming face twisted. "What about him?"
