Between the Laurel Branches

Hadrius, the son of a high-ranking nobleman, falls in love with Tiberius, a commoner who serves under his father.

*“Hadrius. No matter what happens, you’ll continue to love me just as you do now, won’t you?”*

However, that love was a thoroughly calculated act of revenge, and ultimately, his family fell from grace.

Having lost everything, Hadrius is sold into a brothel,
and whilst living as a male prostitute, gradually falling apart, unable to trust either people or love, he meets Maximus, a Roman war hero, as a client.

*“Maximus. Please kill me. I just want to find peace now.”*

*“Thank you for staying alive.”
“…….”
“I’ve never met anyone as strong as you in my entire life.
I’ll never meet anyone like you again. I know that all too well.”*

Hadrius finds the will to live again by the side of this warm-hearted man, but

*“Hadi, please… look at me. Without you, I am nothing.”*

Tiberius, having realised he is still alive, arrives belatedly…

*“Did you sleep with him? How many times did you spread your legs for him?”* *(Source: RIDI, translated)*
