The young priest, who had just become his twenties, was distinctly different from the others.
Shiny silver hair, white skin, and a handsome face, where nothing can be found.
His eyelashes shining like a placer stone rose, and his eyes were clear and blue like the sea.
He exuded an aura like a god with his whole body.
Recognized for his extraordinary appearance, he was soon recognized for his divine power and was worshiped as a living god.
People all revered him and flocked to the shrine to receive blessings and healing from him.
As time passed, stories about him spread beyond the towns and across the country.
The gathered people looked at the boy in front of them and wept.
Oh, what a pure soul!
Standing in front of him, men and women of all ages were ashamed of their mistakes and were busy repenting of their sins.
But people didn't know.
That Joshua, the incarnation of the divine, was the embodiment of lust at night, willing to fall.
***
On a dark night after the day's work was over, Joshua, who was getting a foot massage from his servant, Theo, let out a languid voice.
"Today was a really tough day."
"Are you tired of standing all day and blessing people? There are so many people that the stone steps to your shrine are worn out."
There was a bit of tiredness mixed in the languid voice. Joshua's voice was sweet and whispered in the wind, so others couldn't tell, but Theo, who had been serving Joshua for a long time, knew it.
"Then go to bed early today…"
The moment he pressed the recessed part of Joshua's foot, the foot tightened and muscle got excited. Theo took a moment of embarrassment and Joshua's foot slipped out.
When Theo raised his head and met Joshua's eyes, he couldn't help but hold his breath.
"Are you going to bed early?"
His white skin was exposed through the loose, high-quality white gown.
Even in a dark room that was lighted by a single candle, Joshua's smooth body revealed milky skin.
Even though he had seen, touched, and tasted his body almost every day, Theo gasped every time he looked at the divine body.
He couldn't take his eyes off the priest, who was showing off his long eyelashes with his eyes half down as if seducing someone.
A candle was flickering in the mysterious eyes that resembled the sea. His throat was dry at the burning gaze.
His graceful legs stretched out and tapped the servant, and his toes rubbed the front of Theo.
His toes ran through his lower leg, drawing a steep curve.
"Because I've been through a lot of hardship and accumulated… should you let it go?"
Theo nodded his head like a hearer of the commandments.
