    Summary

    Some people can say Mydeimos, last prince of Castrum Kremnos, has a betting problem.

    Mydei, however—in the most politest of terms—is in it to win it.

    In not so polite terms, he calls everyone else critical of his betting skills losers. He admits that it’s a bit toxic of him, but that’s to show that he doesn’t take bets lightly at all, and more that he honors each bout with utmost dignity and sheer competitiveness.

    So the moment Mydei sees the emblem stamped on the flags of the city-state, he turns to Hyacine and says, "I bet you three balance coins that that's our monster."

    Hyacine sputters, even as Little Ica eyeballs the emblem and agrees with a solemn, "Doo doot."

    There's a unicorn. And a fertility festival. Mydei's a virgin and that shouldn't matter until it does.

    Summary

    “What’s wrong? Why did you guys get so weird when I said Mydei is my boyfriend? Are you hiding something from me?”

    “No, not at all. We were just not used to you calling him boyfriend because…”

    “Because?”

    “Because you’re engaged!” Castorice adds, panicked. She mouths “I’m sorry” as Mydei shoots her a look of betrayal.

    According to three-time VCT Champion Phainon, he’s been secretly dating Mydei for the past three years. According to his rival Mydei, he has to fake-date his amnesiac crush under doctor’s order.

    Summary

    “I’m sure they were charmed by you,” Mydeimos grumbles. He reaches up to tug at Phainon’s sleeve, drawing the knight’s attention to him. “Were you not going to greet me?”

    “Sorry, Your Highness,” Phainon says easily. He walks to the other side of Mydeimos and pulls a chair close to him, sitting down. “What are you eating tonight? It looks good. Did you make it?”

    Krateros desperately looks towards Gorgo, trying to discern if she sees what the hell he is. She doesn’t meet his gaze. Distraught, Krateros returns his sight to the two, only to be met with Mydeimos feeding Phainon a piece of his meal. 

    What the hell. What the hell what the hell.

    Krateros learns his precious godson is in a relationship with Phainon, his least favorite person in the world. He doesn't take it well.

    Summary

    "Does your whole body run this hot?"

    "Yes."

    “Isn’t it uncomfortable?”

    "No." The extremes of agony were the first thing Mydei had gotten used to in the times of his earliest memories. The freezing waters of the Sea of Souls had not been kind – bitter and unrelenting towards the frail body of a child abandoned in their torrents, viciously demanding his endurance until numbness settled upon him like a makeshift haven. There were no shores for him to drift to, no blankets waiting there to swaddle him up with.

    He had to be his own hearth to drift towards, his own flame to chase.

    Rarely did Mydei ever take off his gauntlets, keeping them on even in the baths.

    It was a habit he had developed after settling in Okhema. Which meant no one had ever really seen his bare hands.

     

    Phainon gradually weans him out of it.

    Summary

    It wasn't exactly a normal day, but when your lover gets split into five separate people, "normal" stopped being an option weeks ago. But hey, at least his professor had found a solution!

    Anaxagoras (06:48): The fragments must be reintegrated through an act of profound connection with the person Mydei loves most.

    Phainon blinked at the screen. That could mean anything. A conversation. A heartfelt confession. A—

    Anaxagoras (06:48): Specifically, through sexual intercourse.

    Phainon dropped the Telaslate onto his face.

    It hurt. He deserved it.

    Okay. Well. That shouldn't be too difficult, except for the fact not all of them remembered him.

    (Well. At least he'll have fun trying.)
