60 What is love?

Abel was known by many titles: an emperor who ruled an empire with an iron fist, a tyrant, and someone who was infamous for his promiscuous lifestyle. His name alone was shrouded with controversy. But just days ago, another rumor resurfaced in the high society regarding the emperor.

That was... Abel was into men.

A rumor that could put the person who started it a ticket to death row shook the high society. Although the rumor was kept amongst nobles, their whispering and murmurs during tea parties and banquets wouldn't stop.

For women, this shocked them to the core. Especially those who had seen the emperor and fancied his stunning looks. But for men who heard this? They felt nothing but dread.
