[BL] Seducing Male Leads To Survive As A Villain In A Novel-Chapter 363: Peace

They were done with breakfast and had all retired to their rooms.

Before breakfast ended, Eden had suggested they go out that day and enjoy some peace and fun. Leo agreed and offered to take them somewhere.

And so they went to get ready.

Eden was in Elvis’s room, sitting beside him while helping fix a fresh bandage over his injuries.

Elvis sat there shirtless while Eden gently applied ointment across his body.

"How are you doing...?" Elvis suddenly asked.

"Me? I’m fine. Why?" Eden inquired, rubbing his fingers softly against Elvis’s skin.

"Well, I had a feeling that bringing up the past could open some wounds. And hearing you speak about your old friend... I figured it might have brought up some memories..."

It did. Eden didn’t know why. He really shouldn’t feel this way—he wasn’t the person who went through it. But it did hurt, and it felt as though he had been the one to endure all of that.

He smiled. "Don’t worry. It happened a long time ago, so I’m fine now. Don’t worry."

"Are you sure about that?"

Eden nodded. "Yes, I am."

Elvis sighed. "You said ’old friend.’ It made me think you really did have a good relationship with that person once. But something terrible must have broken it."

He continued, "And maybe you’re still holding onto the fragments of that friendship. Because the Wizard of EL I know is powerful enough to eliminate him in a fight. But since you didn’t kill him off... I have a feeling you still have some lingering emotions..."

Eden listened to his words—words that seemed to reflect so much of what he felt—and casually smiled. "You really are observant."

Elvis slowly turned to face him. Their eyes met as he ran his fingers along Eden’s cheek. Elvis smiled. "I just want you to know that you’re not alone. I’ll always be here for you. Lysander will too. Helen, Lenny and Leo... we’ll always be here for you. I want you to know that."

Eden smiled. "Thanks. I’ll always remember that."

Elvis kept his eyes fixed on him. Eden raised an eyebrow. "Now turn around so I can continue fixing you up."

Elvis smiled, still staring at his face.

"What? Is there something on my face?" Eden asked.

"I just missed you a bit too much," Elvis expressed, his fingers tracing Eden’s cheek.

"I did too," Eden smiled.

"I thought I’d go mad if I didn’t see you... I was that desperate. I needed to see you—that was all I knew. And I’m glad I did. Else I might actually lose it..." He said, his eyes still locked on Eden.

"Then congratulations. You can see me every day," Eden expressed. "As much as you want?"

Elvis nodded. "That’s heaven, then." He brushed his thumb over Eden’s lips. "To see you every day..."

The room was silent as the two of them sat there, staring into each other’s faces with quiet smiles.

"Eden..." Elvis called his name softly.

"What?" Eden smiled. "I’m still not used to you not calling me ’wizard’ or something," he laughed.

Elvis smiled, his gaze tender as he reached down to take Eden’s hands in his. "I hope... after all of this... I can officially become your husband too."

Eden smiled at him. "Too?"

Elvis looked at him. "You and Lysander and Adrian already act like a married couple... so I want to be like that too..."

Eden smiled, still watching his face. "Are you jealous?"

"What if I am?"

Eden nodded slowly.

"So I want to officially become yours. Like them," Elvis said.

"But you’re already mine, and I’m already yours," Eden said. "It’s already official—since that night at the cave."

Elvis ran a hand through Eden’s silver hair, admiring it. "Then let’s make it official later. Let’s get married after all of this is settled. Okay?" 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

Eden smiled warmly and nodded. "Okay then. Let’s do that. It’ll be a grand wedding."

Elvis smiled, still gazing at his face.

Silence fell, and the two of them simply looked at each other for a long moment.

Soon, Elvis slowly leaned in for a kiss. His lips gently pressed against Eden’s while his hands cupped his cheeks.

Suddenly, the door swung open and Helen walked in.

"Are you two done...?"

She came to an abrupt halt as she saw them kissing. She immediately turned and looked away. Eden and Elvis parted.

"You two..." She sighed. "What are you doing...?"

"We’re coming," Eden smiled. "Wait outside."

"Yeah, sure. Hurry up, then." She was gone just as quickly, and Eden and Elvis stared at each other before laughing.

"Turn around. Let me finish fixing you up. They’re probably waiting for us," Eden laughed as he began bandaging Elvis’s wounds.

They had decided to have some fun for the day.

They made their way to a bustling market area, some distance away from the mansion they were staying in.

Leo had chosen it because it wasn’t just a market—it was also an exhibition space. It was an extremely lively and beautiful place, filled with endless things to see and experience.

Eden used some magic to disguise them all so they wouldn’t be recognized. That way, they could explore the area freely and enjoy it to the fullest without being noticed.

Lenny, Helen, and Cordelia moved together, while Eden, Elvis, Lysander, Adrian, and Leo formed another group. The four men seized every opportunity to impress Eden and draw his attention.

They offered him different things to try and see. It became a subtle competition—who could impress Eden the most and give him the best experience. And in the process, they all shared laughs and had fun themselves.

Eden didn’t really care about the competition. He simply enjoyed the outing. He admired the beautiful displays and street performances, trying endless delicacies along the way.

Amidst the brewing trouble, he felt at ease with them. Enjoying every moment with laughter and joy. He simply felt peace at that moment and he liked every bit of it.
