레가스 (Regas)
레가스
예로부터 레가스는 드래곤의 힘을 이어받은 왕을 길들이기 위해 존재하는 자였다.
스승으로부터 레가스가 되기 위해 훈련을 받은 에이블은, 미래 왕이 될 왕자를 만나게 된다.
“와, 처음으로 눈이 마주쳤네요. 다시 인사드리겠습니다. 에이블이라고 합니다, 왕자님.”
친모로부터 학대받아 상처입은 어린 왕자는 그 누구에게도 마음을 열지 않았기에
여태까지 그를 버텨낸 레가스는 아무도 없었다.
그러나.
“왕자님이 저렇게 겁에 질려 계시니까 저라도 계속 옆에 있어야겠다 싶어서요.”
유일하게 에이블만이 왕자의 마음을 열게 만들었다.
“제가 살아있는 한 왕자님 옆에 계속 있겠습니다. "
“……에쁠.”
하지만 왕을 실질적으로 조종해오며 왕의 레가스를 배출해 낸 '왕의 심장'의 계략으로 인해 에이블은 결국 사망하고 마는데.
*
그리고 12년이라는 시간이 흐른 뒤.
에이블은 누군가의 몸에서 새로운 생명을 얻어 깨어나게 된다.
그 사이 어렸던 왕자는 성인이 되어 황제로 등극하였고, 전쟁터를 전전하며 대륙을 통일하였지만
여전히 '왕의 심장'은 건재하기만 한데.
황제가 된 왕자와 새로운 삶을 얻게된 에이블.
두 사람은, 달라진 서로의 모습을 알아보고 '왕의 심장'을 무너뜨릴 수 있을까.

surprisingly good. i enjoy reading the perspective of the mc, abel, because it shows how dynamic he is as a character. he's optimistic, but can be quite calculative in expecting the worse intentions from others. he's so expressive to the point i can confidently say that he's a yapper and the little prince is just tolerating him /hj LMAO anw, i'm still slight disappointed he twinkified him but i guess abel is abel no matter what physique he takes

I love this manhwa 💯 It's so good my baby Abel he's such a green flag and he's always positive, he cares about his highness and learns him so many things and calmed him. They deserve to be happy. He's like a Big bear cutie and he became a weak cutie but I still love him, he's so beautiful in his second life but he's so funny and I love him so much. I don't blame Karas for anything he has done and now is his turn to take care of Abel 🥹

Because GR is only listing the Korean edition I use that one although I read it in English online. So maybe I start with a short summary for Regas season 1:
The founding myth of the country is telling about a war against an evil dragon which humanity was almost loosing if not for another dragon who became enamored by one of the knights. Afterwards that dragon founded the kingdom together with his beloved and every child born with royal blood was also endowed with the dragon's might. Unfortunately together with great power came a cruel heart. For balance a confidant forging a special bond with the king had to be trained, one capable of taming the dragon within and thus the first Regas was installed. Over the centuries it came as it usually does, the dragon's vigor waned with each successor and the job of a Regas changed from a tamer of dragon to the tamer of man. Nevertheless the founding myth was still strong and even while step by step the council of the great houses took the reign the never were able to get rid of neither the royal lineage nor the Regas. So they came up with a special substance to get the royal family hopelessly addicted and gradually changed the Regas into a catamite.
Now at the start of our story the king is weak and distracted by a pleasure-Regas and the queen on the brink of madness. Unfortunately the queen consumed the powder heavily during her pregnancy and that lead to the birth of a prince where the dragon power was strong again. A Regas of old time had to be found and such the sad story of Karas, the spurned boy with the dragon eyes, and Abel, the gentle giant with the big heart, evolves.
My heart went instantly out to Karas. Betrayed and abandoned, kept in a dark messy room because all the servants were in fear of him and after a time rightfully so because he became the cold monster they believed him to be. I had a more difficult time with Abel. He's so gentle with an even, sunny temper it's bordering on simple. I only started to understand him after his background story was told and after all he was exactly what Karas needed. Patient and kind to a fault he endured Karas' violence because he knew where it came from, and slowly with confidence, unrestricted support and simple stories he gained the boy's trust and the council's concern.
I must admit it was that heartbreaking situation that kept me reading while being afraid about the ending. The art helped to make a sad story not too tragic because looking at only the pictures and how the characters are drawn it could easily be one of those cute isekai stories where a pitiful orphan becomes a princess and that contrast together with Abel's sunny yapper side made the story lighter than it would be if the artist would have taken the story as seriously as the author.
It must be said that season 1 is not about romance (would be creepy with Karas still a small boy) and the ending is a sad one but everything is changing in season 2.

Disfruté del primer tomo de la novela. Rompió con todos los clichés. Abel no era el típico chico guapo del que todo el mundo se enamora a primera vista. Aunque es denso y un poco tonto, encajaba con su pasado de campesino con un conocimiento profundo de solo unas pocas cosas relevantes para su vida y crianza.
Me gustó el hecho de que todo el mundo se quedaran horrorizados al descubrir que "Regas" era un hombre enorme y feo en lugar de un "niño bonito". La novela se burla de estas expectativas, que sostienen que existe un molde en el que se supone que deben encajar los "Regas".
Pero siendo sincera, no pude soportar la novela desde el tercer tomo. Cada capítulo era difícil de leer y seguía los caminos más cliché. Las motivaciones de los personajes son superficiales y los villanos son cómicamente malvados y estúpidos. Además, la gente gana o pierde coeficiente intelectual aleatoriamente según lo requiera la trama.

La trama es buena pero me esperaba más.
Abel se muestra como alguien inteligente pero al mismo tiempo increíblemente estúpido, es una contradicción desesperante. Cuando intenta hacer algo bien solo empeora las cosas y lo arruina mil veces más.
Además hay un montón de mentiras y enredos alrededor de los subordinados del principe, como si todos actuarán por su propia cuenta como más les conviene a pesar de que sean leales a él, otra contradicción.
Para mí, todos los subordinados del principe son iguales al "Corazón del Rey" le mienten y manipulan a su antojo, a pesar de que sea por "buenas razones" no terminó de gustarme

El libro se me hizo medio Meh, no me gustó que hicieran al Protagonista Abel como el típico shou débil en apariencia y fuerza cuando en su primera vida era lo contrario.. No me gustó sinceramente, siento que me faltaba más escenas de ellos dos interactuando cuando el príncipe solo era un niño y antes de que abel muriera en su primera vida, aunque no necesariamente escenas románticas pero escenas que reforzaran los sentimientos del niño con Abel, para que su obsesión por Abel durará muchísimos años hasta que el reviviera. La vdd solo leí los dos volúmenes porque se me hizo medio básica la lectura. Fue muy decepcionante pq todos hablaban maravillas del libro

I genuinely enjoyed this bl, it has such a unique plot. Defined not for everyone due to the regression so I’m not sure if it still counts as age gap. But love the MC he’s so pure and I hate how the council used him and poisoned him and he let that happen for the little prince, who lost his eyes from the abuse like!!?!
Anyways waiting for some cold hard revenge in the next book, I need timeskip Karas to completely obliterate them for the politics back stabbing abuse and the emotional pain they continue to put him through and all the fucked yo controlling methods they tried to use.

جالب بود فکر کنم. خیلی مانهواطور بود. تا کاراس میومد چشماشو باز کنه ببینه چی به چیه کجاست دوباره ابل میمرد، این روند و ده بار ادامه دادیم، دیگه آخراش داشت خندهدار میشد😭و خیلی خیلی کوتاهتر از حد انتظارم بود. اگه بلندتر بود(*نه اینکه کاراس یه چهل بار دیگه فکر کن ابل مرده، لطفا پلات جدیدتر) خیلی بیشتر دوسش داشتم.

Todo lo relacionado con Regas es muy interesante. Abel es un amor de persona y me alegra tanto que llego a la vida del príncipe.

⭐4.5⭐
Woah. Estoy sorprendida de lo mucho que me gustó este volumen. Vine con las expectativas bajísimas y terminé encontrando una joya de historia. Por lo menos hasta este primer volumen que leí me gustó bastante.
Trama
4.5
En este mundo, el linaje real heredó el poder de un dragón, pero con ese poder también vino una crueldad imparable. Para controlarlos, siempre ha existido un Regas, una especie de domador de dragones que, en la práctica, se vuelve el más cercano al monarca. Abel fue criado para ser Regas, pero cuando por fin logra conectar con el príncipe Karas, lo traicionan y muere. Fin. Adiós. O eso pensábamos, porque once años después, Abel reencarna en otro cuerpo. Karas, ahora emperador, sigue luchando contra las mismas sombras que lo atormentaban de niño, y Abel decide volver a su lado, aunque esta vez bajo una identidad distinta.
Personajes
🐉Karas
¿Cómo no voy a querer proteger a este hombre? De niño, Karas fue completamente rechazado por su madre, los sirvientes lo temían y lo dejaron aislado en una habitación oscura, hasta que eventualmente se convirtió en el monstruo que todos creían que era. Como adulto, es frío, calculador y da miedo, pero… damn, hay tanto dolor detrás de esa fachada que solo quiero meterme en la historia y abrazarlo (aunque probablemente me apuñalaría).
🌞Abel
Abel es un pollito de colores. Es amable, paciente y tiene un optimismo que al inicio parece hasta ingenuo. Pero una vez que entiendes todo lo que ha pasado, su actitud toma otro significado. No es que sea ingenuo, es que decidió ser luz en medio de toda la oscuridad que lo rodea.
Mención de honor a Usler, MVP del año. Este hombre no solo tiene pantalones, tiene toda la tienda de ropa masculina completa. Valiente hasta la médula, leal como pocos y con un temple de acero, Usler no duda en arriesgarlo todo cuando es necesario. En un mundo lleno de traiciones, política sucia y personajes que juegan a la conveniencia, él se mantiene firme y decidido.
Y como toda buena historia de drama y política, Regas tiene personajes secundarios que van desde los que quieres proteger hasta los que quieres estrangular. Hay cositas medio conflictivas, pero creo que se pueden dejar pasar.
Quedé enamoradísima de los personajes. Lloré por Abel y por el príncipe. Pero también me reí mucho. Fue un balance muy fresco.

La familia real ha heredado el poder del dragón desde hace generaciones, pero con el gran poder también arrastran un carácter violento al que poco importan el resto de humanos, excepto por uno, la persona destinada a ser su compañero, su Regas. Si el reino desea sobrevivir, debe encontrar al Regas del príncipe de 8 años, que nació con ojos amarillos de serpiente y es especialmente violento. Pero la organización que se ha dedicado a criar a atractivos compañeros de cama para los reyes desde tiempos ancestrales no está dispuesta a permitir que el control sobre el rey se escape de sus manos, y así, cuando aparece un grandulón bonachón que parece ser el Regas verdadero del príncipe, harán lo necesario para exterminarlo.
Adolece de algunos aspectos negativos de las novelas coreanas más populares, pero se alza por encima de todas por la candidez de Abel, su protagonista, la perfecta mezcla de intriga, drama, politiqueo, misterio, romance y humor en una narración ágil que no decae en ningún momento. Es empezar a leer y no soltar la historia hasta su final.

This was a wild, if unsatisfying ride. I read basically the first 1/4 of this as a manhua and that part was excellent. Nice pacing, interesting concept, good art. I read the rest as a light novel and it felt like watching a car crash in slow motion.
The main ML has generally no redeeming qualities and many times throughout I was like "why don't we just burn it all down and start over?" Coincidentally the ML was of the same opinion because he was truly psychotic. Trigger warnings for rape, cannabalism (which was truly surprising and gross), excessive violence, and just a bad time all around.
In terms of quality, the manhua is superior. The LN was fan translated, so I can't judge accuracy, but wow I'm gonna judge how stupid the plot, motivations, characters, and overall pacing was. The manhua seemed to tone down many of the plot points. I might continue with that, but definitely not the light novels.

gonna post my review for both volumes on the first one as per usual
okay so the manhwa isn't on goodreads but the novel is and i read up to chapter 47 so i cross referenced with where in the novel the most recent manhwa chapter i read was and it was approximately at the end of volume 2 and the beginning of volume 3 so i rounded to the nearest one (volume 2). i'm gonna put this in the google doc tracker and on anilist too hopefully
still sad they got rid of abel's buff body and made him a twink when he reincarnated but i'm happy his vibrant personality and hilarity transferred over at least

So far things are going great.. I like the MC and his fluffy personality… and the idea of him being totally different to all the regas… but I’m not sure if I like the new body of him reincarnated cause now he looks like all of them… but.. let see how the story keeps going

the twinkification of the mc is a little crazy after he dies the first time but its okay it was funny

Reading the Manhuwa adaption but I'll definitely look into the novel once I find a translation of it lol

3.5 for me. would probably be a 4 had the translation been better, but thankfully I’d already read through this volume in the webtoon and understood it
