The Sinful Life of The Emperor Chapter 673 - Apologizing to Kurtis?!

Chapter 673 - Apologizing to Kurtis?!

As the flames surrounded Kiba, he sat still with a confused look instead of acting with haste.
"I don't understand. Are you not The Cuckold Flame King told me about?" Kiba genuinely asked.
Kurtis was about to turn the flames into a volcanic blaze, but hearing the question, he was taken aback.
Could Kiba be speaking the truth?
He sounded honest for sure!
With him being the Flame King guest, there was no way he would lie in front of Flame King!
And then there was the fact that he has no reason to offend him!
"Craig! You backstabbing sc.u.m!"
Intense murderous intent radiated out of Kurtis, causing the flames to ammas together and rush at Flame King.
Flame King was both shocked and angry.
Shocked obviously because despite being framed, he couldn't reveal the truth. After all, if he did, it might lead to a situation where Kiba wouldn't get to cuckold him today!
That would break the terms of the Blood Contract, and he would die!
What's more, Kiba would still get to f.u.c.k his widow in the guise of consoling!
His life was terrible as it is. Yet in such testing times, instead of having moral support, he was being attacked by an experienced cuckold!?
"You are The Cuckold, so why does truth offends you!?"
Flame King blasted out a circle of fire that exploded into the incoming flames.
Streams of blaze erupted from the explosion, but before they could do any damage, a word cut through them.
"Enough!"
Lord Harley only said one word. But the word seemed to carry a power that extinguished all traces of fire.
"!!"
Kurtis and Flame King were more than shocked.
They hadn't gone all out now, but their attacks still carried the strength of Alphas. How could that be suppressed with a word alone?!
"We are here to welcome our guest," Lord Harley said calmly. "So stop acting like spoiled kids and show some respect."
Kurtis's eyes flashed with evil fire, but Lord Harley ignored that and turned to Kiba.
"I apologize yet again."
"It is fine," Kiba replied. "Had I known my words can cause such a situation, I would have been careful."
"Of course," Lord Harley smiled.
On the side, Xalion - who has been silently observing the developments - understood what was happening.
"They sure know how to pretend without sounding pretentious!" Xalion thought with a rugged look.
Kiba turned his head towards Flame King and said, "How could you lie to me about a brother of yours?"
Flame King's cheeks twitched, but he didn't reply.
"Flame King, you are my friend," Kiba continued. "But that doesn't mean you get to deceive me."
Flame King wanted to cry.
I am your friend?! Then why are you here to cuckold me, that too on Valentine's Day?!
"Haah! I expected better from you!" Kiba let out a sigh to express his disappointment.
Then rising to his feet, he stepped towards Kurtis and said, "I apologize for believing I knew who you were."
Kurtis didn't respond, though internally, he was fuming.
Kiba arrived before him and stretched his hand.
"!"
Kurtis's face softened.
Kiba was apologizing and even taking the initiative to shake hands!
With all these developments, there was no reason he should ignore Kiba any longer.
Kurtis started shaking hands with Kiba.
"Because of Flame King, I was under the impression that you have bestowed that title upon you," Kiba explained while shaking his hand. "So, could you please tell me your name?"
Kurtis froze even as Kiba continued to shake his hand.
What the hell is he saying?!
Did he really believe I would bestow the title of The Cuckold upon me!?
Just what type of man he thinks I am?!
I'm an aristocrat!
Not some wimp!!
His heart pumped with volcanic blood while his thoughts ran wild.
But he did his best to appear calm as he replied, "Kurtis."
"Nice name."
Kiba took his hand back.
Behind, Lord Harley relaxed.
He knew just how sensitive Kurtis was with anything that reminded him of his greatest shame.
Decades ago, when Rebecca fell in love with Zerenski Valeriy, she didn't just break Kurtis' heart.
She also crushed his self-esteem and landed a massive blow to his ego.
Years passed, but neither his self-esteem nor his ego ever recovered.
All because he – an aristocrat man of the highest order- was cuckolded, and the proof of his cuckolding was alive somewhere!
So, for Kurtis to remain calm in front of Kiba, it was praise-worthy.
"He's finally growing up!" Lord Harley thought.
At the same time, Kiba smiled and flicked his hand on the side.
The air erupted with a golden glow, and through it, a small diamond container flew out.
"This….!"
Kurtis's eyes squinted.
"Such pure energy!"
Xalion took a deep breath while Flame King almost jumped. They all stared at the container with shock, for it was radiating healing energy of the highest proportions!
"A Rank VIII pill!"
Even Lord Harley was stunned as he observed what was inside the container.
Despite owning priceless treasures, pills of such rank were rare for even him. After all, they couldn't be purchased or manufactured with resources or strength alone.
It required brains and vast knowledge of the medicinal field!
Something that this Kiba certainly has!
After all, he was a world-renowned doctor!
"Please accept it as an apology," Kiba requested to Kurtis.
"Huh?" Kurtis was dumbstruck.
Kiba was giving him such a pill for apologizing?!
"Is he stupid?!" Xalion asked aloud.
Tears streamed down Flame King's face.
He was going to be cuckolded soon! So wasn't he more worthy of that pill than Kurtis!?
Kurtis only stared at the container. Everything happening here was more than shocking.
Seeing Kurtis not acting, Kiba handed him the container and then leaned to whisper in his ear.
"The pill is special," Kiba whispered in a barely audible voice. "I made it on the request of a certain patient, but between you and me, it suits you."
"??" Kurtis and even others were curious.
While Kiba might be whispering, the hearing abilities of everyone here were powerful. If they wanted, they could even detect the sound of a pin falling from thousands of kilometers away.
So Kiba's attempt of secretly whispering failed.
"What do you mean?"
Kurtis forgot that others could hear them as he asked Kiba.
"Flame King told me that ever since the situation that gave you that title…. you couldn't get 'it' up."
"!!!!!"
Kurtis felt the world rotating and the ground splitting.
Lord Kurtis' eyes widened.
Xalion's heart skipped a beat.
Flame King swallowed saliva and glanced at his pants, where his own 'it' has shrunk to such an extent that it has almost disappeared.
Kiba seemed clueless about all of these.
All he felt was no vocal response from Kurtis.
Naturally, he realized this meant Kurtis needed a detailed explanation.
So, he whispered, "I now know that situation wasn't something you enjoyed and cherished, despite Flame King's claims to the contrary.
"So, If I'm not wrong, not able to get "it" up isn't because of extreme pleasure, but rather because of mental trauma and anger.
"The pill would help you fight that. It should undo the emotional imbalance and restore your manhood, at least partially."
Kiba leaned back and looked at Kurtis. He was surprised by Kurtis's complexion. It was flame-red like he was on the verge of exploding!
"Ah! You don't have to be embarrassed!"
Kiba naturally mistook the red complexion as blushing.
"Nor you have to thank me!"
