Help, I'm in Another World and All the Men Are So Hot! [BL]-Chapter 119: The Price of Permission

From his erotic face, as he sucked on Damien’s fingers, Leonide suddenly looked so cute when he pouted like that.

Damien couldn’t deny it.

Yeah, they had already gone that far, hadn’t they? 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

"Let’s just give up, Damien~♪" Theo teased, grinning.

Damien thought to himself, If I give up now, things are just going to spiral out of control.

There were just too many hot handsome guys around him!

How long can I keep holding out...?

He watched Leonide, who was once again sucking on his fingers with that lewd expression, and realized that the day he wouldn’t be able to resist might not be too far off.

For now, he managed to get Leonide to settle for just a kiss.

Leonide had asked for the kiss, but Theo saying, "If you don’t, it’ll be a shame," made him wonder what was going on.

This was strange.

His lover was way too proactive about him having a harem.

"Anyway, we’ll think about the formal reward for Leonide later," Theo said. "Oh, we could also set up a special room for your meetings with Damien, if you’d prefer? Or perhaps, should we build the annex for Damien that we canceled before?"

That was way too proactive.

"What do you think, Sebas?"

"Sounds like a good idea," Sebas responded.

"Rejected," Damien interrupted.

Definitely a hard no.

"Don’t start having some silent telepathic conversation between the two of you!" Damien snapped at Theo and Sebas.

"Well, let’s put that plan aside for now. Lastly, what should we do for Damien’s reward... everyone, what do you think?" Theo asked.

Wait, why is everyone being asked about my reward?

"I don’t really need a reward," Damien replied. "If Theo’s doing better, that’s all that matters to me."

Theo’s recovery was the most important thing, so he didn’t really need any reward. Theo took such good care of him that he didn’t even have a particular wish.

If he had to pick something, it would be to go home.

"I knew you’d say that, so I asked everyone," Theo said, nodding knowingly.

"Well, I think the annex for Sir Damien would be the most reasonable option," Sebas suggested.

"I said no," Damien responded firmly.

To his surprise, Sebas was very eager about the idea, which left him feeling a bit conflicted.

"However, Sir Damien , we are sorry for the lack of education on our part. At the moment, the Crowell family exists within the walls of our mansion. Some of the staff are confused about the situation," Sebas explained.

Ah, right...

Damien didn’t really understand or want to understand what the Crowe family was, but it was true that, right now, Leonide and his servants were living in Theo’s mansion.

It was understandable that this could be confusing for the staff.

If he thought about it, separating the buildings with a dedicated annex might not be such a bad idea after all...

"But is it really okay to build an annex for me?" Damien asked. "I mean, specifically, what about the cost?"

"The costs will be covered by the public concubine territory, so there’s no need to worry about that," Sebas said easily.

The mysterious public concubine territory again.

Damien had completely forgotten about that and realized he would need to ask more about it later.

But if Sebas was this confident that there would be no issue, then it was probably fine.

Hmm... he still couldn’t shake the feeling that it was a bit much, but if it would make things easier for the servants...

"Theo, does that mean my reward will be the annex? It really can be small, you know? I mean really small," Damien asked.

To be specific, he meant a single room.

"Understood. By the way, should we make it usable as a guest room too? That way, Damien might feel more comfortable," Theo responded with a wry smile.

Damien wondered if, from a noble’s perspective, this seemed like a small thing to worry about.

Still, Damien appreciated how much Theo cared about making him feel at ease.

"Yeah, that works for me. Please go ahead with that," Damien said.

He felt guilty, and the thought of not getting to sleep with Theo as much made him a little lonely, but he decided to accept it. It couldn’t be helped.

"Understood. Sebas, I’ll leave the arrangements to you," Theo said.

"Understood," Sebas replied, bowing respectfully.

It was a bit of a hassle, but Damien was grateful.

Damien also bowed his head to Sebas.

"I’ll take care of it. I promise to make sure the house is of a suitable rank to host distinguished guests."

"Huh?"

"This will officially mark the founding of the Crowell family," Sebas added.

"Alright, I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that," Damien said. "We’ll just erase everything we talked about before."

Damien was caught off guard by Sebas’s sudden statement.

"Damien, once you’ve given instructions, they can’t be undone," Theo said with a smile.

"Huh? Theo!?"

Theo was smiling brightly.

I’ve been betrayed... Damien thought.

Leonide was also looking at him with sparkling eyes.

At least the elf seemed uninterested, which was a relief.

"Alright, everyone, let’s calm down for a second. Wait, weren’t we talking about building the annex? We weren’t talking about my house, right?" Damien asked, trying to clear things up.

Right, he realized. They were talking about building his house.

Oh, I see, the Damien family in that sense...

It was his own misunderstanding, and he’d been talking nonsense.

"However, I think we should at least start formalizing the Crowell family as a baronial house for external matters," Sebas suggested.

"Huh? A baronial house?" Damien replied.

"What does that mean, Theo?"

"Ah, well... it’s... um..." Theo seemed reluctant to make eye contact with Damien.

Damien decided that today, he was going to get to the bottom of this. He was going to make sure he understood everything.

"First of all, Theo, are you able to move around properly now?" Damien asked.

"Huh? Oh, yes, I’m fine now," Theo answered.

Good, that’s a relief, Damien thought as he smiled brightly at Theo, who was blinking in surprise.

"Alright, then let’s sit properly for a moment," Damien said.

"Huh?"

"Theo, sit properly."

By the time Damien finished speaking, he realized Sebas and the others were no longer around.

Well, it’s fine. For now, the lecture is for Theo.

There was still a long way to go before the dawn came.
