The Sword He Forged for Me

In his last life, Prince Aleric got cheated on, blamed for everything, and died like a dramatic side character. This time? He’s not falling in love. He’s marrying some exiled noble with no soul weapon, no personality, and no future. Kael Valen was supposed to be safe. Emotionless. Forgettable. Then Aleric accidentally awakened the ancient holy sword. Kael smiled. And the murders began. Turns out Kael is the reincarnated God of Destruction. He's also weirdly clingy, emotionally unstable, and thinks “acts of devotion” include blowing up palaces and baking terrible cookies. Now Aleric lives in a haunted mansion with his suspiciously affectionate husband, sits on the imperial throne without permission, and is constantly trying to stop Kael from killing people mid-tea. He wanted quiet revenge and financial security. What he got was a golden retriever husband with abandonment issues and a divine kill count. Aleric: “Kael, you can’t just behead people because they looked at me.” Kael, smiling with blood on his hands: “But you looked uncomfortable.”
