《Marietta-hime no Konrei》 Chapter 1 THE MARRIAGE WAS ARRANGED Chapter 1 THE MARRIAGE WAS ARRANGED TRANSLATION BY SOLISTIA EDITED BY SAM (OF XANT & MINIONS) ¡°Marietta, your marriage has been decided.¡± ¡°¡­¡­Marriage?¡± Summoned by her father, the king of Stellaus, Marietta steeled herself for whatever bad news might come after seeing his grave countenance. However, upon hearing the subject was her marriage, she couldn¡¯t help but be confused. Wasn¡¯t marriage¡­a good thing? Her father was always going on about how he¡¯d find a wonderful husband for his third daughter, Marietta. As the youngest princess, she was always fawned over by her elder brothers and sisters, as well as her parents. In such an environment, most princesses would grow up selfish and spoiled, but thankfully Marietta was a gentle girl; all the love she received turned her into a charming young lady. She was also already 18. It wouldn¡¯t have been odd for her to have a fiance at that age, so getting betrothed now should be a matter of course. ¡°Oh, that¡¯s so wonderful, thank you father! So, tell me, who is it?¡± Marietta held her hands in front of her chest, waiting excitedly for her father¡¯s reply. Standing that way, the fair, blond-haired, blue-eyed Marietta looked like an adorable doll. He must be royalty. How old is he? What color is his hair? What colored eyes would hold me in their visage? ¡°Oh, do you happen to have a portrait of him?¡± ¡°Indeed¡­¡­we do have a portrait. However, he is not of royal blood¡­¡­¡± Marietta¡¯s eyes suddenly locked onto her father, and the king of Stellaus continued in a quiet tone. ¡°He is a General. Belvant Fergus, the General of Oltaire, is to be your husband.¡± ¡°A General?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Oltaire? The superpower Oltaire? ¡­¡­Did something happen, some urgent military matter, to make you need a relationship with them?¡± ¡°¡­Truly you are a clever girl, Marietta.¡± Reflecting in the king¡¯s eyes was his sweet Marietta, whose adorable appearance belied her wisdom and intellect, and his expression became strained. ¡°And you are correct.¡± ¡°Then, could it be that by marrying this General we will be able to avoid some kind of war?¡± ¡°How did you know?¡± ¡°If we were to form a solid relationship with Oltaire, we would have the power to refuse unreasonable demands from other countries.¡± ¡°But still, how did you arrive at that conclusion?¡± ¡°Because, Father, you are always going on about how you¡¯ll find me the perfect prince to live a peaceful life with. But now, you¡¯re suddenly talking of handing me over to a General from the militant superpower Oltaire. If my memory serves me right, Oltaire has no princes of a marriageable age at the moment.¡± ¡°You are right. The only remaining unwed prince is just 4-years old. What¡¯s more, the Oltaire royal family is currently looking to bestow a reward upon their General; such as a princess from an allied country.¡± ¡°And I qualify as such a prize, is what you¡¯re saying.¡± Marietta did not mind of course, and nodded her head in understanding. ¡°As a member of the royal family, I am fully prepared to marry for the sake of the country. To be able to do this for my people fills me with happiness.¡± ¡°Oh Marietta, such generosity.¡± ¡°Father, I am already 18 and a proper adult.¡± Marietta raised her chin sharply, as if to say ¡®look how I¡¯ve matured¡¯¡­and failed. Her body was both short and slender. Her older sisters were all voluptuous in the chest, but, how would one describe it¡­it was quite obvious her chest was nigh nonexistent. She had truly believed that one day she would blossom as her sisters did, but at 18 years of age, such a thing had yet to occur. That¡¯s why, with her body like that, you could describe her with a single word: cute. ¡°Now then, what kind of person is this General? I would appreciate it if you could tell me.¡± ¡°Yes, you see¡­¡± General Fergus. Before that name typically appeared titles the likes of ¡°He Who Silences Crying Children (out of fear)¡±, or ¡°Advent of the Fearsome Demon Lord¡±, and so on and so forth. Born into the lower nobility, with his strength and sharp intellect he quickly rose to the rank of General at the young age of 30. His glare alone caused small animals to hide, and even the branches of immovable trees would tremble. When he stepped onto the battlefield no enemy would live to tell the tale, and whatever the circumstances, without batting an eyelash, even against the most well-laid plans he could forcibly bring about victory from under his opponent¡¯s feet; he was a warrior, fierce and terrifying as a god. Thus, the king of Stellaus went to extreme lengths to beat around the bush as long as possible in his explanation to Marietta. ¡°And that, is his portrait.¡± The chamberlain came in carrying the portrait under his arm and presented it to the princess. Depicted in the portrait, his body indeed looked strong, and from his light brown hair to his icey blue stare piercing through Marietta, he did look like a demon¡­no, like a warrior. There may have been some artistic liberties taken by the painter, but it still exuded a fair amount of intensity. The portrait had revealed a man that could easily crush Marietta¡¯s throat with a single hand. ¡°He also¡­appears to be quite tall.¡± Seeing Marietta trembling while covering her mouth with both hands made the king of Stellaus¡¯ heart clench. ¡°He could probably easily lift me with one hand.¡± ¡°I-I hear he¡¯s both a strong and good-looking man. Marietta, I believe he¡¯s a man who would protect someone as lovely as you.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡­I get that impression. I¡¯m certain he would be my knight in shining armor¡­¡­¡± Marietta had become teary-eyed. ¡°It¡¯s decided, Father, I shall go to this man. How soon until I depart for Oltaire?¡± ¡°In one week¡¯s time¡­¡­¡± ¡°As you wish. I must hurry and pack my belongings. ¡­May I take this painting with me?¡± the young girl requested, and the king of Stellaus was no longer able to hold back his tears. **** ¡°This is the man who will become my husband¡­¡­?¡± Upon returning to her room, Marietta closely examined the painting of her ferociously-faced fiance again. ¡°How¡­¡­how dreamy he is!¡± She was so deeply affected that, while teary eyed, Marietta¡¯s face turned bright red as she softly exclaimed to herself. ¡°Such a strong physique with taut muscles, I¡¯m certain he wields the sword as lightly as a feather. He could easily sweep me off my feet with one arm¡­¡­eee, I¡¯m so embarrassed!¡± Daydreaming about her expressionless knight embracing her, Marietta writhed about bashfully by herself. He¡¯s like an aloof knight from a fairy tale brought to life. Whatever shall I do, my heart will beat out of my chest if I don¡¯t see him soon. ¡°My Lord Belvant¡­¡­My Lord Husband¡­¡­¡± Marietta¡¯s white fingers caressed the painting, and then she hugged it. ¡°I¡¯m so happy! I can¡¯t wait, simply can¡¯t wait to see him! My dreamy General!¡± After all, Princess Marietta was a girl with a muscle fetish. Chapter 2 HOW DO YOU DO? Chapter 2 HOW DO YOU DO? TRANSLATION BY SOLISTIA EDITED BY SAM (OF XANT & MINIONS) ¡°Princess, could it be that you¡¯re shivering?¡± Marietta was indeed shaking, and her reliable lady-in-waiting was quick to say something. ¡°It is a bit chilly inside the carriage. Shall I prepare another blanket for you?¡± ¡°Oh my, I am quite all right, Sierra. I assure you, it is not because I am cold.¡± Marietta was on board the carriage to Oltaire. The carriage rocked everyday for 10 days, and it had only been 4 days since they crossed the border into Oltaire. It was a royal carriage of fine make, but even so it was a bit of a rough journey for a young lady¡¯s body. Still, beneath her bottom were plenty of cushions, and between her curiosity and energy, Marietta was even able to enjoy sleeping outdoors. After all, her husband awaited her at the end of the journey. She even had the portrait of General Belvant Fergus packed amongst her things. She really wanted to have it displayed inside the carriage to gaze upon until she got her fill, but as she was not alone, it would have been too embarrassing of a deed. Thus she had not. Still, just remembering his visage made her unintentionally giddy with thoughts about her still-unseen husband, but when she came back to her senses, she was so embarrassed she began to shake. Even so, her very capable lady-in-waiting was scarier than a demon, and had already collected considerable intel on General Fergus. Oh my poor, dear, Princess. By all rights, you should have been married off to a more kind and wonderful gentlemen from a royal family. You shouldn¡¯t have to become the bride of such a vulgar and fearsome man. I¡¯m aware you¡¯re trying to not worry anybody by hiding behind a mask of eagerness, but from time to time your shivering body belies your fears, of that I have no doubt. Sierra was quietly moved to tears. Though I may be lacking in ability, I must protect my princess as much as I am able. Unaware of Sierra¡¯s new resolve, Marietta gazed at the scenery outside of the small window before saying, ¡°My, it looks as though different plants grow in the forests of Oltaire. I wonder if different animals also live here? I¡¯m looking forward to living in this new land.¡± ¡°¡­¡­So it would appear. It would be wonderful to find beautiful flowers or adorable animals to put you at ease, My Princess.¡± ¡°Yes, that would be nice¡­¡­kyaaa!¡± The carriage suddenly lurched, causing Marietta scream. ¡°What¡¯s going on?¡± Hearing the unusual clamor occurring outside, Sierra concluded they must be in a state of emergency, and hid the princess under a blanket. ¡°Enemy attack! We¡¯re under attack!¡± The carriage was apparently under attack by an unknown assailant. The guards brandished their swords, and the ear-splitting sounds of metallic clangs rang out. ¡°She should be in the carriage, drag her out!¡± Sierra took out her self-defence knife, and readied herself for intruders at the carriage¡¯s entrance. The assailants were most likely after Marietta. ¡°Sierra¡­¡± ¡°There¡¯s no need to fear, My Princess, I will protect you.¡± Despite their peril, Sierra smiled sweetly as she normally did. The carriage door wrenched open, and the moment the man appeared, Sierra¡¯s boots connected with his face. ¡°Gwaa!¡± With a kick strong enough to fracture bones, the man fell back right where he stood. ¡°Fuck, you shitty little¡­¡± From behind, another man raised his sword, aiming for Sierra, when suddenly¡ª ¡°Gwaaaa!!¡± The man¡¯s eyes widened as he let out a last dying scream before disappearing from Marietta¡¯s sight. ¡°What happened?¡± Peeking out from beneath the blanket to see what was going on, the sight outside the carriage made Marietta catch her breath. ¡°You sure have some guts, going after my future wife.¡± There stood General Belvant Fergus, holding a bloodied sword in his right hand, fearsomely showered in the blood of his enemies. ¡°Ah¡­¡­¡± Without it even having to be said, Marietta knew she was looking at her future husband, Belvant. ¡°Princess Marietta, are you injured?¡± ¡°¡­¡­No, I haven¡¯t been wounded, but My Lord Fergus, there¡¯s blood¡­¡­¡± Her betrothed covered in so much blood, he must surely be injured somewhere! Was he okay?! Thinking such thoughts, the very smell of blood caused Marietta to choke, her face grew pale very quickly, and she soon collapsed onto Sierra. ¡°My Princess! Don¡¯t force yourself!¡± While caring for Marietta, Sierra glared at the General. Sierra mistakenly thought that seeing his frightening blood-soaked appearance had caused Marietta to feel unwell. ¡°¡­¡­Did I frighten you? My apologies.¡± Belvant should have been the hero, saving his wife from such a crisis, but instead he spoke quietly, turned back, and mounted his horse. ¡°I¡¯ll head back ahead of you. I need two groups, one to guard and one to cleanup this mess, then follow after me.¡± ¡°Understood, sir!¡± Belvant¡¯s brow furrowed deeply as he found Marietta even more fragile and lovely than in her portrait. ¡°¡­¡­This won¡¯t do. Someone like me marrying a princess, it¡¯s absurd.¡± Then why does my chest feel as if it¡¯s in pain? Belvant knew that all the women in the world were frightened by him, yet being rejected by Marietta had unknowingly damaged him. **** Around the time Belvant was fiercely spurring his horse into action, Marietta was taking a strong alcohol as a tonic, and the gallant figure of her future husband in her memories became stained with red. He appeared out of nowhere like the wind to save me, rounded up all the ruffians, and just like the wind disappeared again. Yes, he had nary a wound for me to sooth, he was that strong and sturdy of a man. Yes, just like a knight in a fairytale¡­¡­Ah, My Lord Belvant, you are too dreamy! Even more dreamy than your portrait¡­¡­Oh, how I hope to see you again soon. Once again, Marietta fell in love with her tall and strong future husband. Chapter 3 JUST FROM REMEMBERING IT Chapter 3 JUST FROM REMEMBERING IT TRANSLATION BY SOLISTIA EDITED BY SAM (OF XANT & MINIONS) ¡°So you mean to say it was the dissenters, the ones that didn¡¯t of approve of strengthening our bond with another country, and thus my marriage with Princess Marietta? What fools.¡± Belvant got the assailants to spit out what information they knew. It would seem that the political investment in the marriage caused those who felt it was worthless to act. Trivial things like political power and privileges caused people to attack my bride-to-be. Did they think they¡¯d grab ahold of some kind of weakness? So annoying. If that¡¯s how it¡¯s going to be, I¡¯ll just investigate them myself, and give them a little taste of hell on earth. For whoever decided to become my enemy, I¡¯ll carefully drive them into a corner. They won¡¯t dare think of trying such a thing again, Belvant thought, and his expression turned downright demonic. Obviously, the people that didn¡¯t know him well shuddered in his presence, but even those that knew his true disposition were trembling. ¡°Calm down, Belvant. We¡¯ll capture the perpetrator soon.¡± ¡°Of course we will. As if I would let off anyone who chooses to antagonize the likes of me.¡± When he first heard that the king of Oltaire had betrothed him to a princess of a foreign country, his face had warped at the superfluousness of it all, but this was a political marriage for the sake of the country. Because this was the reality of the situation, he had reluctantly agreed. Thinking that this was just something that came with the prestigious position of a General, he had chosen to stifle his feelings on the matter, and was prepared to accept a minor inconvenience. Even when he received notice of the enemy attack, he only thought that they mustn¡¯t lose such an important political pawn, and quickly headed out to exterminate the rabble. And yet¡­¡­ [¡°There¡¯s blood¡­¡­¡±] Her lovely face, frightened by the bloodshed. Her eyes suddenly closed as she fainted without warning; such a delicate girl. The princess was already 12 years his junior, and in order to protect her country, she offered herself up to a man with a terrifying reputation. Still, he couldn¡¯t see her as anything but a young girl. I don¡¯t like this. Just about everything is aggravating. ¡°Too scary! Your face is at the level that I¡¯ll be frightened in my dreams tonight!¡± Belvant had known his good-humored friend Adran from an early age. Bevant¡¯s face sent a chill up Adran¡¯s spine, turning his face pale, and practically made him scream. ¡°Settle down, and calm yourself. Anyway, no matter how much more you torture those thugs, keep in mind it won¡¯t heal the princess¡¯ emotional scars. Instead, you should be thinking about how to soothe the princess¡¯ heart.¡± Adran had always acted as Belvant¡¯s support, from the time when they were both squires all through their rise in the ranks, and yet Adran¡¯s words made Belvant¡¯s brow furrow. ¡°Soothe her heart? Why must I be the one to do that?¡± ¡°Wha-, but, she¡¯s going to be your wife, right? She came all this way to marry you. Can you imagine how forlorn this young lady must feel? Seeing that terrible gaze of yours, why, if you¡¯re not the one to soothe her, who will be?¡± ¡°So you¡¯re saying that it¡¯s part of my duty to her?¡± ¡°Now look here¡­¡­yes, yes, that¡¯s exactly it, it¡¯s your duty as a General. It¡¯s for the sake of the country even!¡± Adran was this close to sighing, he had no idea when his friend had strayed so far from the path of a gentleman. ¡°¡­¡­I see, so it¡¯s like that. Well then, shall I present her with the heads of her attackers?¡± Adran immediately screamed ¡°NO!¡± as Belvant¡¯s thought process went in the total opposite direction. ¡°What are you going to do if you frighten her even more?! No, no, you have to soothe her gently. Look you, there¡¯s a limit to how much you can not know about a woman¡¯s heart.¡± ¡°Soothe her heart¡­¡­just, how exactly do I do that?¡± ¡°How do you do that? You¡¯re a General, aren¡¯t you? Isn¡¯t thinking up strategies your main job?! Plus, this is about your own bride! What are you gonna do if you always have to ask other people for help, isn¡¯t the most sincere way to think of something yourself?¡± ¡°Is¡­that how is it¡­¡­?¡± The thick arms of his large body folded together as he nodded. He nodded, but¡­¡­for the first time, Belvant couldn¡¯t think of anything to follow up with. Agreeing and tilting his head to the side to contemplate was the most he could manage. ¡°¡­¡­Um, but well, if someone as inexperienced with women as you were to ask, I wouldn¡¯t be reluctant to offering some advice.¡± Worried about the unusually meek-looking Belvant, Adran went back on his words and tossed a lifeline to his friend. ¡°First, getting her a present might be nice. Finding something you think the Princess might like and giving it to her would be nice, don¡¯t you think? If you were going to get a present, what would you want?¡± ¡°What I want right now is a new whetstone for my sword.¡± ¡°That isn¡¯t something normal people want! ¡­¡­No, no, it was my fault for asking. What would a young princess desire to make her feel welcomed¡­¡­?¡± ¡°What would you give a woman when you want to court her?¡± ¡°For a fling, maybe something like flowers, if I¡¯m serious, then jewelry.¡± ¡°Jewelry?¡± ¡°It¡¯s better than a whetstone. For now, let¡¯s focus on jewels.¡± ¡°I understand. Then go pick out something appropriate for me.¡± ¡°Why you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, I¡¯ll be the one paying for it.¡± ¡°Damn right you are!¡± ¡®If you keep up that kind of attitude you¡¯ll be dumped before the wedding even happens!¡¯ Belvant heard Adran say as he quickly left to make a full report to the king. **** ¡°Oo, you were simply too amazing, My Lord Belvant¡­¡­¡± Invited to the royal palace as the guest of honor during her betrothal period and tired from the long journey, Marietta let out a sweet sigh while washing in the bath. She soaked in the grandiose bath surrounded by the beautiful fragrance of flower petals, courtesy of Oltaire, and gently floated about the scented water. Afterwards, she changed into a dress that was easy to move in, and let herself sink into the cushions of the sofa. Then, she sighed again as she repeatedly replayed her very brief meeting with Belvant in her mind. Her face turned a bright shade of red in a very unladylike fashion, and Marietta buried her head in the cushions. Keeping watch over Marietta, the lady-in-waiting Sierra scowled. She¡¯s so exhausted, she¡¯s done nothing but sigh¡­¡­and it¡¯s no wonder, she¡¯s going to have to marry that terrible General. Just thinking about him makes me shiver, when it comes to that blood-soaked man¡­¡­Aah, now she¡¯s hiding her face from the world. Surely, she¡¯s trying to not worry me. Not only is my princess lovely, but also wise and kind. So why, why, must she be with such a savage man¡­¡­ At that moment, there was a knock at the door and someone spoke. The lone lady-in-waiting dealt with the matter, and soon returned carrying a small box and a bouquet of roses. ¡°I present gifts for the Princess from General Belvant Fergus.¡± ¡°Oh my, for me, from My Lord Belvant?¡± Marietta accepted the gifts with an enthusiastic,beaming expression. ¡°Oh, how lovely. This is the first time I¡¯ve seen such dark roses turn pink on the tips of the petals.¡± ¡°I shall arrange them in a vase.¡± Marietta handed the bouquet to Sierra, and then undid the ribbon wrapped around the small box. What could be inside? My Lord Belvant gave something to me¡­¡­I¡¯m so happy! Even though he must be so busy, he was still worried about me. With the extent of Belvant¡¯s thoughtfulness and simple-mindedness unknown to Marietta, she happily opened the box. Chapter 4 AND THEY MEET Chapter 4 AND THEY MEET TRANSLATION BY SOLISTIA EDITED BY SAM (OF XANT & MINIONS) ¡°Oh, how beautiful!¡± Marietta gleefully and quietly exclaimed while looking at the contents of Belvant¡¯s gift. They were earrings fitted with teardrop-shaped jewels that shone in a light blue color. Marietta took hold of them between her thin, white fingers, and gazed upon the complex cut of the jewels as they sparkled with a surprising amount of light. She could tell they were goods of the highest quality. ¡°Surely¡­¡­these must be Oltaire diamonds?¡± ¡°Oltaire diamonds?¡± ¡°Yes, these jewels are a special product from this country, diamonds with a peculiar light blue color. They are very expensive, and I have never seen any so large as these.¡± With her wealth of knowledge, including that of jewels, even the lady-in-waiting Sierra was in awe as she explained. ¡°Are they truly¡­¡­they are very magnificent jewels. After all, this color and radiance, they remind me of My Lord Belvant¡¯s eyes.¡± [Princess Marietta, are you injured?] He had defeated the villains, and spoken Marietta¡¯s name in his low, composed voice with his strong and gallant figure. He had even looked directly at her with his ice-blue eyes. More imposing than his portrait, she remembered her heart being struck by his bright and clear eyes. [Princess Marietta] That man, the man I so secretly desire, appeared before me and spoke my name, and even held me in his eyes, thought Marietta as her heartstrings quivered, and her heart ached for him. ¡°For the General to chose such a clever gift was truthfully outside my calculations. To think that he would select a jewel bearing the same color as his eyes¡­¡± Such was Sierra¡¯s surprise that she muttered such things to herself. ¡°Oh my, aren¡¯t they though? The same as My Lord Belvant¡¯s¡­¡­that he would bequeath me with this color¡­¡± ¡®I want to dye you in my colors.¡¯ Naturally, there must be such a passionate meaning behind it¡­¡­or perhaps even a declaration of love. ¡°My Lord Belvant¡­¡­oh what things does My Lord Belvant wish to do to me with his color? Aaah¡­¡± The earrings fell from her trembling fingers with a distinct ¡®plop¡¯. I¡¯m so embarrassed, no elated, positively elated! Could it be that My Lord Belvant is pleased with me as well? Oh whatever shall I do¡­¡­my heart won¡¯t stop pounding. Oh, I wonder what part of me My Lord Belvant will want to dye first? Marietta¡¯s mind entered ¡®flower garden mode¡¯ and her face became so hotly flushed she had to hide it in her hands. Unconsciously, she shook her head back and forth as her imagination ran wild. ¡°My Princess, has your mood run afoul?¡± ¡°No, I am quite all right. It¡¯s just, I, some intense palpitations have hold of my heart, please do not worry about it.¡± Marietta remembered the calm and capable lady-in-waiting watching over her and immediately restrained herself, holding up her enlivened head as if nothing was wrong to keep up appearances. It would simply not do for a princess from a foreign country to be writhing about in such an improper manner whilst thinking about a man. ¡°Uuum¡­¡­oh yes, I must express my gratitude! What shall I prepare, a written letter perhaps? Sierra, have you any stationary?¡± ¡°Firstly, I believe it would be best for you to get some rest. There is still the evening meal yet left for today, and since you will be seated next to General Fergus, could you not use that opportunity to express your gratitude?¡± ¡°Oh, I shall be able to meet with him, won¡¯t I?¡± Marietta¡¯s voice shook from anticipation and anxiety. Hearing that, the aggravated Sierra drew back as her eyebrows raised. You¡¯ll be all right, My Princess. I shall be by your side the entire time. Even if he¡¯s the General of a large country, should he show you any disrespect, I shall swiftly reprimand him. Sierra was strong-willed, and it showed in her feelings towards her princess as an excellent lady-in-waiting, despite all the misunderstandings. ¡°Now then, I would like to adorn myself with this present post haste. And what dress do you think I should wear with them?¡± ¡°My Princess, please take a moment to settle down. I will prepare you some tea for now. In the meantime, please select a dress to match your new earrings.¡± Sierra helped calm her mistress, and added some herbs to the tea to settle the princess¡¯ feelings. Of course, the lady-in-waiting had in mind that she was soothing the princess because ¡®Princess Marietta must be so frightened at having to be near such a demonic man¡®, and in the end misinterpreted the intense palpitations for General Belvant Fergus. Thus she did her best to put the girl at ease. **** ¡°We welcome you for coming from your far away land, Princess Marietta.¡± ¡°I am most humbly delighted upon this occasion to accept your gracious words, Your Majesty.¡± Summoned to a special room before dinner, Marietta met with Oltaire¡¯s king. The king was over 40 years old, a handsome man in the prime of his life, meeting with the youngest princess of Stellaus. She was, as the rumors had said, a gentle and lovely princess, and the king was quite taken with her. And yet¡­¡­ Even though he was a well-featured, fine looking man when you looked at him closely , General Belvant Fergus¡¯ unsociability and ferocious strength frightened women. When the king remembered that this adorable girl had no choice but to marry that man, his heart ached. ¡°General Fergus is a warrior with dauntless courage, which is nothing to say of his surprising capability as a strategist. Due to his great and excellent talents, my country does not lack for power. With the fine relation of the wedding between the beautiful princess of Stellaus and the General of Oltaire, the bond between our two countries shall strengthen. Above all else, I believe you two shall suit each other. I pray for this husband and wife pair to live long and prosper.¡± ¡°Yes, I thank you for your kind words.¡± Marietta¡¯s cheeks were innocently dyed red with a blush. But all those present, except for Marietta, were secretly retorting in their minds, ¡®They don¡¯t suit each other at all! Your Majesty is trying too hard to make them seem like a good couple!¡® though they could not say such things out loud. Even the king himself thought such things must be left unsaid, Forgive me, I apologize. The General isn¡¯t a bad person, but I hope you can put up with him. **** Compared to Oltaire, the country of Stellaus was quite small. For that reason, when Marietta first visited Oltaire, she was bewildered by the great scale of everything. However, thanks to the royal education she received when she was younger, proper diplomatic etiquette was second nature, and she was able to conduct herself graciously without revealing any of her true feelings. The introductory dinner was held in one of the massive palace¡¯s rooms. Due to the queen¡¯s consideration, in order to not need to be as strict, only a small number of people were invited. ¡°Suddenly thrust into a marriage and coming to a foreign country, you must surely feel some unease. If it would please you, you may also seek me out for advice, and come to think of us as your parents in this country, Princess Marietta.¡± The royal lady wanted to be amiable in politics. Simply because she was born to royalty, this young girl had to be part of a political marriage of convenience with only a portait by which she could use to know her betrothed. This made the queen greatly sympathize with her. Moreover, her partner was that General Fergus. For conducting herself with courage, the queen was also quite taken with the lovely princess, and from the bottom of her heart wanted to become a support for the girl. That General has no idea how to deal with ladies. If he starts to behave outrageously, I will absolutely not stand for it. Unaware of what was happening, Belvant was being treated like a wild animal and making enemies everywhere. And then, Belvant was late for dinner. For the General, everyday was full to the brim with work, but today, the day his bride-to-be was to arrive, he should have had the day off. However, from the moment he rushed out to save Marietta from the attack, he¡¯d been drowned in an overwhelming mountain of paperwork. In order to clarify the details of the incident, he¡¯d busted his butt even more than usual and fell into a mess. Always zealous about work, Belvant hadn¡¯t even stopped to eat anything. However, his lieutenant Adran had proceeded to beat some common sense into the man, and as soon as he finished up his work he immediately headed for his seat at the dinner table. ¡°I apologize for my tardiness.¡± Belvant appeared, sporting a sour look on his face that gave no indication of actually being apologetic. The royal husband and wife sighed inwardly, while Marietta¡¯s throbbing heart threatened to leap out of her chest. Chapter 5 He’s a Dreamy Gentleman Chapter 5 He¡¯s a Dreamy Gentleman Seeing Belvant enter the room dressed simply in his military uniform, Marietta rose from her seat to greet him, but found her eyes captured elsewhere. The deep blue, practical work clothes reinforced Belvant¡¯s intrepid aura. With his tall stature and thick chest between broad shoulders, he reached a full two heads taller than Marietta. The reliable muscles stretched across his body formed an appropriate figure for the man called the Guardian (or Devil) of Oltaire. Such a dreamy gentleman. How could I ever encounter such a man. The sheltered Marietta had certainly seen the royal guards tasked with protecting her, but those who had wielded their sword on a true battleground, soldiers forced across scenes of carnage, had always been beyond her world. Though she had been introduced to men at dinner parties as well, and they certainly were talented in dancing and tasteful dialogue, each and every one was merely an aristocrat focusing upon his own position. As she paused in her thoughts, Belvant¡¯s eyes were also captured by the risen Marietta. In the effort to make prominent her gifted earrings, Marietta had done up her blonde hair and wrapped around her body a light rose coloured dress. The skirt portion¡¯s subdued chiffon and lace arrangement lent a gentle and tender atmosphere, such that Marietta appeared like a delicate flower sprite. Her deep eyes, as clear blue as a sunny sky, were fixed upon Belvant, the wide open, round, cherubic pools rousing the image of an innocent kitten. The full, pink lips upon her small, white face, slightly parted as she attempted to let out her lovely voice, seemed to hold the power to charm men¡¯s hearts into a torrent. In this moment, as the couple fixed eyes upon each other, the assorted gallery around them constructed their own markedly different understanding of the atmosphere. The one who broke the strange tension in the air was Marietta. Her face holding a soft blush, she bent her lovely waist towards the man decided to be her husband, her figure the very image of a refined woman. Propelled to action, the king hurriedly arranged his words. ¡°¡­ General Fargus, this is Princess Marietta, who is to become thy wife.¡± ¡°I am Marietta. I would like to thank you for your timely rescue a short time ago. It is a great pleasure to be able to meet the honorable General Fargus. Please grant me your favor in the days to come.¡± ¡°Right.¡± Is that it?! The silent retort washed across the room. ¡°Also, I sincerely thank you for the lovely flowers and wonderful gift. I am greatly obliged to Sir General¡¯s solicitude.¡± ¡°¡­ ¡®s that so.¡± And! A! Gain! Couldn¡¯t you say just a bit more! Before even considering the one receiving this attitude was his future wife, Belvant¡¯s sheer unsociability shocked the surroundings. As Marietta raised her head, her eyes fixed themselves on Belvant¡¯s own ice blue irises. Jewels of that exact color swayed with her movement and bumped against her cheeks. Filled with a strange awareness, Marietta grew embarrassed. Unable to withstand the feeling, she cast down her eyes and restrained her mouth with a hand. It¡¯s useless, he¡¯s so beyond dreamy that my heart can¡¯t take it. ¡°Princess, are you alright?¡± At Marietta¡¯s side, her acquaintance Sierra quietly supported her body. ¡°Yes, thank you. I am fine.¡± Marietta gave Sierra a soft smile, the lovestruck maiden¡¯s eyes teary in heartache and bashfulness. At her pitiful appearance, the surroundings saw a fairy that had been frightened by meeting a vicious beast of prey, or so they wrongly guessed. ¡°Ah, you must be hungry after your long trip right? Please, continue your meal.¡± With another misunderstanding, this one born from ignorance of romance, the general also assumed his seat for the meal. It seemed the innocent Marietta¡¯s love would face many difficulties. ¡°Well then princess, please sleep well.¡± ¡°Good night, Sierra. Thank you again for another day¡¯s service today.¡± ¡°Please think nothing of it.¡± At her master¡¯s usual honest consideration, Sierra gave a brilliant smile as she bowed her head. She had a truly kind and magnificent princess, she thought. Sierra loved her princess beyond mere loyalty, and wished only for Marietta¡¯s happiness. As her reliable attendant left, Marietta was left alone on her bed. ¡°Kyaaaa! Lovely, dreamy, he¡¯s just so cool!¡± With the covers firmly over her head so that her voice wouldn¡¯t leak, she was free to writhe about to her heart¡¯s content. Between her ragged breath and suspiciously glittering eyes, the figure of a refined lady had long since departed. ¡°Sir Belvant, so large and sturdy, so good looking, so ohmygosh, what do I do! I think my heart is beating strong enough to burst from my chest! That man, my beloved husband? Goodness. Goodness! I think I will have a nosebleed. If we are married, we will touch, right? I wonder if he¡¯ll also want to share a touch, or a k-kiss! Our faces will come together right, and, ah, I¡¯m nervous merely thinking of it! And then, our l-lips, kyaaaa!¡± Simply considering a kiss was enough to stimulate the innocent Marietta. She had never truly considered such a thing before. ¡°That¡¯s right, it would be terrible to make a mistake due to nerves, so it would be good to practice.¡± Leaping from the bed, her nightgown rustled as she fished through her luggage and produced the carefully transported portrait. Then, she sat once more upon her bed, an image of Belvant from the chest up cradled between her hands. ¡°¡­ I¡¯m so happy I was able to meet you today, Sir Belvant. If you would take me as your bride¡­¡± And so, with eyes closed, the portrait inched towards her lips. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s not right; it¡¯s not good practice if I can¡¯t properly see your face.¡± As she snapped her eyes open and saw the portrait above her, Marietta¡¯s face flushed. ¡°I-I can¡¯t!¡± Her hands flew from the portrait as she grasped her pillow and tumbled about the bed. ¡°How can I do the impossible? I can¡¯t endure it! Sir Belvant is beyond dreamy! Please forgive me, but for today I can only do this much.¡± Marietta stood the portrait on a nearby table, angling it so that she could see it from her bed. ¡°¡­ Good night, Sir Belvant.¡± Facing the arranged portrait, Marietta blew a kiss. Then, softly squealing in glee as her face blushed bright red, she hugged her pillow close and, a smile floating across her lips, gradually fell asleep. Chapter 6 It’s a Date Chapter 6 It¡¯s a Date Now, as the pure Marietta grew excited thinking about kisses, the surrounding impure¡­ no, pragmatic adults, were caught up in a more serious worry: the approaching wedding night. Because Marietta and Belvant would be married, they would, by definition of marriage, live the life of a married couple. ¡°If pressed for my judgement on the matter, Your Majesty, I can only assume General Fargus has, up until now, seemed to hold an inclination towards voluptuous women.¡± The lower official presenting this information to Oltaire¡¯s king in a deadly serious voice was Adlan, Belvant¡¯s childhood friend. When the king first commanded him to share information following his recent visit to the brothels, he had been shocked, but soon consented with the thought ¡®oh, so that¡¯s the reason¡¯. ¡°Furthermore, it has been confirmed that a man matching his appearance was seen entering the bath equipped with a weapon of much greater size than normal.¡± ¡°Hm, so is it exactly as I thought?¡­ In passing, though the general has no experience in a woman¡¯s care, is there any indication that he has enough knowledge to handle such a thing?¡± ¡°No, well, I have not considered things to that extent at all. Though, I dare say he is likely inexperienced in terms of romance simply considering how little interaction with women his occupation calls for.¡± Adlan, who had been with Belvant since their teenage years, felt he had a fair outline of Belvant¡¯s relation with the female population. He also held a good idea of the women that could accept his solidly built body. Marietta, at least, did not look like any of the women that had drawn Belvant¡¯s gaze. ¡°According to our information, Princess Marietta is the apple of the King of Stellaus¡¯s eye, and his affectionate upbringing bordered on doting. Regarding her sheltered lifestyle, it seems we aren¡¯t even sure of what she has been instructed, to say nothing of her feelings on men¡¯s physiques or¡­¡± ¡°Hrm, that is so, no? For a princess who has no relation with men outside her family, to abruptly receive a wedding like this and such is¡­¡± If, on the wedding night, the general arrived and expressionlessly set upon his new wife¡­ It was the recipe for a picture of Hell. Fortunately, the king wasn¡¯t the sort to derive pleasure at the thought of a darling princess¡¯s cries and tears. ¡°Adlan, have the General take a short holiday. This is a terrible yet delicate problem; while the surroundings may not agree with this decision, we must absolutely prevent a situation where the General damages the Princess. The General and Princess Marietta must slowly improve their intimacy. This way, if Our words are properly understood, the situation might yet work itself out. Otherwise, though this plan will of course be quite hard on the princess, a failure here could easily lead to an international dispute.¡± With the words of His Royal Highness, it was decided that Belvant and Marietta would have a date. And so, the ¡°Make Belvant Intimate with the Princess for sure!¡± orders were passed down. ¡°By horse¡­?¡± ¡°Yes, ¡®prepare for an excursion on horseback¡¯ were the instructions, however¡­¡± Sierra replied with a depressed look. A few days had passed since the dinner meeting, and although Marietta had received flowers from the general every day, there had been no chance to meet with the ever-busy Belvant. Of course, those flowers were a part of Adlan¡¯s diligent arrangements. In order to have some respite from work (though really under Adlan¡¯s orders) and to meet the princess, General Belvant sent an invitation to Marietta that they get to know each other better, and she had seemed ready to hop around in joy when she received it. However, feeling that it would be improper to show such immodest behavior in front of others, she repressed her excitement. Oh Princess, trembling and tottering like that. It¡¯s not unreasonable, seeing as she will be traveling out alone with that strict giant. I wish that I could follow behind them on horseback, but¡­ Sierra could only breathe a sigh for her worry. After aimlessly wandering about the room in joy and tension for a while, Marietta lowered herself onto the sofa. ¡°I wonder if I brought riding clothes?¡± ¡°Yes, I will prepare you presently.¡± From the open luggage, Sierra retrieved a set of flexible women¡¯s trousers, a comfortable, relaxed shirt blouse, and a soft riding jacket. ¡°It¡¯s exciting, my first time going out in a while. With the wedding¡¯s sundry preparations, I haven¡¯t set foot outside for some time. I wonder if that was causing Sir Belvant worry.¡± For her to take it upon herself not to show her anxiety to the surroundings, my princess is too kind, too pitiful¡­ As she assisted her lady into her clothes, Sierra was shedding tears in heart. ¡°That¡¯s certainly¡­ a horse, but¡­¡± Arriving near Belvant¡¯s stables as instructed, Marietta opened her eyes wide. The reins in the general¡¯s hand led to an animal that was most definitely a horse. However, it was much different from the horses Marietta knew; this enormous, burly creature was what one would call a warhorse. ¡°Princess, this is my favorite horse. His name is Mistral.¡± ¡°My, he seems an exceedingly handsome horse, is he not.¡± ¡°He is quite brave, never faltering when plunging into enemy lines. He has saved my life many times over.¡± ¡°He is quite reliable then.¡± ¡°Today, we will ride him.¡± The wounds across Mistral¡¯s forehead were proof of how he faced enemies head on. The shameless and dangerous look in his eyes, resemblant of his owner Belvant¡¯s aura, made Marietta feel quite out of place when he glanced at her. Marietta thought that it was a good thing she had not arrived in a dress. She had no doubt that she could not ride side-saddle on such a horse. If she wasn¡¯t frantically clinging to its back, she could only imagine herself tumbling off. Belvant lightly stepped up and settled into Mistral¡¯s saddle, then extended a hand to Marietta. She tried to take his hand¡­ but couldn¡¯t reach it. Mistral was simply too large. Belvant knit his brows, then, dismounting, he placed his hands around Marietta¡¯s hips and lifted her off the ground. ¡°Eep-!¡± As she was raised higher and higher, Marietta experienced an overpowering sense of vertigo. By the time she could think, she was already straddling the warhorse. In response to her suddenly staggering elevation, she clung to the saddle in front of her as Belvant quickly took his place astride the horse behind her with a soft rustle. ¡°Let¡¯s go.¡± Belvant¡¯s right hand took hold of the reins as his left encircled Marietta¡¯s waist. With a soft kick to Mistral¡¯s side to signal their departure, the horse began trotting onwards. ¡°!¡± Marietta swallowed the reflexive yelp that leapt up her throat. If she didn¡¯t grit her teeth, she likely would have bitten her tongue. Dashing across meadows, their path at length led to a road through a forest. As one might expect, riding a horse at such a speed requires a fair amount of physical strength. While keeping one¡¯s body upright for balance could be difficult enough, a rider must also shift their strength in their legs with the movements of the horse to soften the impact of each step. Even so, because of her inexperience with warhorses, it required all of Marietta¡¯s focus merely to keep from falling off the horse as it ran. Thankfully, because Belvant¡¯s arm was around her waist, and his carefully applied strength kept her stuck firm to his body, she had just enough support to feel like she was floating. Sir Belvant¡­ Through today¡¯s light garments, the simple trousers, blouse, and even her riding jacket, Marietta could feel every tense movement of his muscles and the heat of his body. So close to Sir Belvant, I can feel his solid muscles, ah, what do I do, I¡¯m so embarrassed, so beyond blessed, so probably getting a nosebleed And then, the thick, brazen left arm encircling Marietta¡¯s waist brushed against her breast, modest though they were. For Marietta, who had naturally never been held so close to a man before, the tension, the bashfulness, and being pressed against her beloved Belvant, her palpitating heart threatened to burst with every quickened beat. Sir Belvant, my own Sir Knight, you are simply too dashing¡­ Marietta¡¯s eyes grew misty as her emotions overtook her, leaving her oblivious to the beautiful scenery around her. Chapter 7 The Princess-Carried Princess Chapter 7 The Princess-Carried Princess ¡°We¡¯re here.¡± As Mistral came to a stop deep in the forest, Belvant smoothly dismounted and secured the reins to a nearby tree. Returning to Marietta, who couldn¡¯t get down on her own, he placed his hands around her waist and gently lifted her off the saddle and set her feet to the ground. ¡°Ah-¡° Even though she had had Belvant¡¯s body supporting her, Marietta had still been shaken quite a bit atop the large warhorse, especially considering Mistral¡¯s speed. Trembling spread from her knees up through her body, causing her to stagger, and she simply couldn¡¯t put any strength into her legs. Her legs buckled, and she reached for the closest support¡­ In short, a slim, white arm entangled around Belvant¡¯s sturdy chest, and Marietta clung fast with an adorable squeeze. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± The light Marietta clinging to him was no more inconvenient than a small bird resting on his shoulder, but for some reason, the sight of the young woman burying her blonde head against his chest stirred up unfamiliar, somewhat impatient feelings within the general. ¡°I¡¯m terribly sorry, but I cannot seem to place any strength into my feet. Feeling Belvant¡¯s arm circle around and firmly support her, Marietta¡¯s face dyed. Entrusting her body to the reliable arm, a strange, sweet tickling sensation crept through her chest. Taking a deep breath to steady her nerves, she caught a full gulp of an aroma like sun-dried grass, the fragrance of her beloved Belvant, and once more her agitation shot into excess. Oh no, how can he smell so amazing? Marietta thought, embarrassed of how entranced she was with the unfamiliar scent. While blushing through her cheeks and wishing she could stay this way forever, Marietta heard Belvant¡¯s worried voice. ¡°¡­ Are you unwell, Princess? Since you are not used to riding, was it too intense? My apologies.¡± ¡°No, I am fine.¡± Shaking her head, Marietta looked straight up with her clear blue eyes as she clung to Belvant¡¯s strong chest. Ah, as I thought, he is truly lovely. His pale blue eyes shine like gems. That such a man could become my dear husband, it¡¯s like a dream. My beloved, and mine alone. ¡°Truly, I find myself quite embarrassed. Also¡­ Please do call me Marietta¡­ Dear husband.¡± ¡°R-right-¡° Belvant¡¯s stern face grew red. If those who knew the usual general were present, they might mistake this for a harbinger of the cataclysm and try to flee the scene, but those people weren¡¯t here in the forest. Away from everyone, unburdened by the title ¡°Guardian Deity of Oltaire¡± in this time and place, Belvant was simply a man showing his honest feelings across his face. ¡°Just, we aren¡¯t married yet, so, calling me ¡®husband¡¯ is¡­¡± ¡°Oh, certainly¡­ That was inappropriate. Please excuse me, it appears I have been discourteous.¡± Upon seeing Marietta¡¯s sorrowful face, Belvant replied in a fluster. ¡°No, that¡¯s, I didn¡¯t mean to say it was inappropriate, or, please call me Belvant as well, Marietta.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Belvant!¡± With her wide eyes locked with his, and those full, pink lips calling out his name in such a delighted voice, Belvant unintentionally smiled. ¡°Marietta¡­¡± Seeing the ever grim or expressionless Belvant smile for the first time, Marietta¡¯s breath caught in her throat. She had known from the start that his fearless face was quite handsome. However, despite how he usually appeared to hold not even a fragment of softness, with merely this small movement of his lips, his beauty compounded. Marietta, who was already head over heels for her valiant warrior, found her gaze transfixed. ¡°Ye, s, Sir, Belvant¡­¡± Her eyes were fixed upon him, spellbound, as her slim fingers tightly gripped at his shirt. In Belvant¡¯s case, with Adlan¡¯s preparations and pressure from His Highness to accept the ¡°Growing Intimate¡± plan, he had reluctantly come around to have this horseback excursion and date, but when her body had been glued to his, and he unexpectedly partook of her soft and pleasant fragrance, the situation of his lower body took an unexpected turn. The two were alone within the forest. The innocent princess was entrusting her tottering body to him, hanging in his arms. Her misty eyes gazing hotly at him, her petal-pink lips calling his name¡­ Was it a perfume, the princess¡¯s fragrance, faintly drifting about like the aroma of flowers? So she is to become my wife, this charming flower-sprite like princess¡­ Belvant¡¯s hand unconsciously extended towards Marietta¡¯s face. Imprisoned by the defenseless, deep blue eyes fixed upon him, Belvant was drawn in, and the set of lips before his eyes were overlapped by his own. His lips, they¡¯re warm. Moreover, they¡¯re soft too. Huh? Wait, is this the realSir Belvant¡¯s face, right in front of my eyes? With her eyes wide open in surprise, Marietta¡¯s every sensation converged upon her lips. Oh, oh my goodness, I-, he-, it¡¯s a kiss! With their lips meeting in what could only be a kiss, Marietta¡¯s hips gave out underneath her. As what little strength she had left in her knees evaporated, Belvant put more strength into the arm circling Marietta¡¯s waist, completely supporting her body. ¡°Oh, are you alright?¡± ¡°Ah, um, I¡­¡± Her face dyed, Marietta¡¯s misty eyes looked at Belvant, then turned away, flustered. ¡°¡­ Looks like standing is a bit rough, huh.¡± With that, Belvant placed another hand under Marietta¡¯s knees and lifted her into his arms. Unable to say a word, Marietta wrapped her arms around Belvant¡¯s head and clung to him. She seems almost completely like a panicked young squirrel. As she charmingly drew close to him despite her flushed face, Belvant was hit again with the urge to meet her lips with his, but he endured the feeling and began to walk. ¡°There¡¯s something I want to show you a bit further on.¡± Belvant smiled at Marietta¡¯s lovely behavior, and she blushed all the more seeing that enchanting smile once again. Carrying her with one hand, Belvant grabbed their luggage from his horse and began walking deeper into the forest. With a few steps, the trees opened up and before their eyes spread a beautiful lake. That lake encircled by trees, its surface glittering in the breeze, was a deep blue. ¡°Oh, it is so beautiful¡­¡± ¡°Its the same color as your eyes, I thought.¡± Belvant responded, looking into her eyes. ¡°This deep color, I wanted to show it to you. I¡¯m simply a boorish soldier, so I don¡¯t understand what a princess might enjoy, and I don¡¯t know how to spin pleasant words. No doubt you think ending up forced to marry such a man is a great misfortune, but¡­ I will treat you with as much care as possible from here on.¡± ¡°That¡­ I feel overjoyed to be able to receive such a lovely present. Besides¡­ To call this a great misfortune would be¡­¡± I would actually count it as a great fortune. Her mumbled words did not reach Belvant, but as she no longer appeared frightened, he was satisfied. Thinking Marietta still looked unable to stand, Belvant lowered her onto nearby rock and set the luggage on the ground. ¡°The house chef provided a lunch set. Do you like picnics, Marietta?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Is that so. I have only ever considered picnics in the context of camping, so I thought I would ask if women find them enjoyable.¡± ¡°I think being able to receive a meal amidst such beautiful scenery will be quite enjoyable.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good if that is the case.¡± A placemat was spread over the ground, and various things like tea, fruits, cakes, and small sandwiches were arranged. ¡°My, it all looks delicious.¡± ¡°Since I didn¡¯t know what you liked, I prepared a lot. Let¡¯s wash our hands at the lake and eat.¡± Belvant once more embraced Marietta, carrying her to the shores of the lake before softly setting her down. ¡°Don¡¯t fall.¡± His hand steadily supported her back. Though Marietta held no experience with men holding her this way, she had already completely accustomed herself to Belvant, and after innocently washing her hands, she looked up to his face with a sweet smile. ¡°Now then, Sir Belvant is next.¡± ¡°¡­ But, it would be frightening if I removed this hand and you fell.¡± ¡°It should be fine like this, I think.¡± Marietta circled her arms around Belvant and clung to him. ¡°¡­¡± Although modest, her soft chest pressed against his body, leaving him momentarily at a loss for words. ¡°I-is that so, hold on firmly.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± Squeeeeze¡­ Though the king¡¯s plan was for ¡°growing intimate¡±, in no way did that translate to assailing her. Though he was seriously disoriented by the young woman¡¯s chest, the man known as a god-like demon scraped together every bit of his remaining sense. ¡°Ah¡­ Marietta, make sure that you don¡¯t embrace another man like that besides myself.¡± Belvant said, affectionately patting her head and feigning calmness as he stood. Marietta also followed along, all but glued to him. ¡°Yes, besides Sir Belvant, I will not do such a thing with anyone else.¡± Still unable to put strength into her legs, while her feet stumbled along, she clung to him desperately. Gah, coming here may have been a tactical mistake. He stooped down and once more took Marietta into his arms before turning his gaze to the sky. Phew, it seems that I could still use some mental training¡­ Chapter 8 The Lion and the Fawn Chapter 8 The Lion and the Fawn When the two returned from their date on horseback, the assorted people waiting to confirm their safety breathed a collective sigh of relief. However, when they saw Belvant lift Marietta from the horse like a child, his left arm firmly about her, a shock ran through everyone present. What is he doing, that beast! ¡°Marietta seems to be worn out after riding. I will escort her to her room.¡± Marietta¡¯s cheeks blushed slightly, and as she was basked in everyone¡¯s observation, she trembled slightly within Belvant¡¯s arm. ¡°I apologize for showing such an unsightly appearance. However, I¡­ cannot seem to place any strength in my legs.¡± WHAT DID HE DO, THAT BEAST!! General Fargus Belvant¡¯s reputation was at stake, but he indisputably did nothing questionable besides kissing. Right, besides kissing. While gazing out over the sparkling lake, the two had cordially eaten their picnicking goods. ¡°Pardon, are you certain I am not too heavy upon your lap as I am?¡± ¡°Sorry, but when I grabbed a placemat, I didn¡¯t think to bring a quality carpet. I can¡¯t possibly let you dirty your clothes though, Marietta.¡± ¡°Still¡­¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re light as a feather, there is really no problem.¡± With his assurances firmly stated, Marietta lightly settled herself into Belvant¡¯s well-muscled, sturdy lap and, with her heart thumping happily, began to eat. Sir Belvant seems so gentle. Moreover, with how close we are, I am a little embarrassed, but at the same time this is so pleasant and fun! This is exactly like a lover¡¯s date, isn¡¯t it? Kya! Marietta got excited all on her own inside her head. Incidentally, Belvant truly felt it would be a shame to dirty the princess¡¯ high class clothing, and didn¡¯t particularly plan to pamper Marietta. Nevertheless, as he watched the small and adorable Marietta nibble through fruit and sandwiches, smiling and laughing in spite of her shy nature, Belvant¡¯s heart felt at ease. His face looked like anything but a demon; the sweet and clear smile upon his handsome face was a symbol of pure affection. ¡°Is it delicious?¡± ¡°Very¡± ¡°Be sure to eat plenty.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± As he ferried each morsel to her, she would diligently eat. With her every bite, Belvant felt more and more as though he was feeding a small animal and relaxed. ¡°Come, Sir Belvant as well, you should eat some¡­ Oh, it has already disappeared!¡± As Belvant had already grown accustomed to finishing his meals quickly on the battlefield, he had long ago completely consumed his portion. Marietta tilted her head, but took one of her slices of fruit and lifted it to Belvant¡¯s mouth. ¡°Here, Sir Belvant, aah¡­¡± For Marietta, this was something her older brothers or sisters did relatively often, mainly feeding her sweets. ¡°No, well, I-¡° He managed to say, before the piece of fruit found its way into his mouth, and he ended up chewing if he wanted to say more. And so, the guardian lion was force-fed. ¡°It is a delicious fruit, no?¡± Marietta was innocently smiling, but for the completely disconnected Belvant, such a direct lover¡¯s expression was a considerable shock. Covering his rebelliously blushing face with a hand, he looked aside to collect his breathing. What even is this adorable creature? Belvant had received immeasurable damage. ¡°This is certainly enjoyable. I do hope you might invite me along again.¡± ¡°¡­ Indeed, let¡¯s come again. I¡¯ll make sure to bring you as many times as you like.¡± Reflexively reaching out a hand, he stroked Marietta¡¯s glossy hair. As he gently stroked her hair as though comforting a child, Marietta gave a slightly embarrassed laugh. Reaching up, she caught Belvant¡¯s rugged hand between her own slender fingers. ¡°Such a large hand, and so strong.¡± Held between her hands, she closely examined the masculine hand. ¡°Wielding a sword has given me more callouses than skin, so it¡¯s quite thick. Your pardon; I suppose I might injure you if I touch you so casually with hands like these, Marietta.¡± ¡°That¡¯s not true. These are splendid hands that have protected their country, and I like them very much.¡± So Marietta said with a smile, as she pressed his hand softly against her cheek. Against the feeling of her soft skin, Belvant could only think that he wanted to feel more, and succumbed to his impulses. His hand glided gently over her face, before he slowly traced her lips with his fingertips. ¡°?¡± Wondering what he was doing, Marietta raised her head, allowing Belvant to stare into her blue eyes. He embraced her shoulder, facing no resistance as his large body seemed to cloak her own, and took her luxuriantly pink and tender lips between his own in a kiss. Ah, he has kissed me again. Sir Belvant, how I love you¡­ The sound of their lips meeting echoed out again and again. Though Marietta¡¯s eyes were wide open on the outset, she grew conscious of the handsome face at point blank range and embarrassedly shut her eyes. ¡°You¡¯re so soft, Marietta.¡± Unable to successfully spin any words in reply, her lips merely gaped as his body leaned over her once more. With Marietta closing her eyes and seeming to accept the circumstances, Belvant¡¯s offense gradually grew bolder as his impulses refused to be pinned down. Something warm and wet pressed into her lips time and again, and taking advantage of her moment of confusion, it trespassed between her lips. ¡°Mm?¡± That thing¡­ Belvant¡¯s tongue ravaged around Marietta¡¯s small mouth as it pleased, tickling every place in could inside her. ¡°Mm, hmm¡± Marietta let leak a voice not unlike the soft whimpering of a puppy. Oh no, what is this? What is happening to me? Marietta, who only knew kissing to be bringing one¡¯s lips together with their partner, was so bewildered by this deep kiss that she could not put forth any resistance. As it was, her small tongue kneaded in turn the slippery mass which stuffed her cheeks full. By guesswork, Marietta would at some moments lightly suck or bite at the tongue in her mouth, and at other times massage it with her own. The fed and now awakened lion caressed Marietta¡¯s mouth as though attempting to directly assault her with his passion. At length, a thread of saliva spilled from her mouth, but even though it was embarrassing, she wasn¡¯t able to wipe it away. ¡°Mm, mmmm¡± Marietta mumbled somewhat reluctantly as, between the hand firmly holding the back of her head and her lips being greedily devoured from the front, she found herself unable to swallow a sufficient breath. They were only kissing, and yet a sweet numbness spread throughout her body, and from her abdomen she felt a strange heat growing. It was the first time she had ever sensed such a thing, though it was not unpleasant. Before long, Marietta¡¯s mind had gone completely blank, and her exhausted body entrusted itself completely to Belvant. The next thing she noticed, several of the buttons upon Marietta¡¯s shirt blouse had been undone. ¡°Oh no-!¡± With teary eyes, her face flushed and she covered her breasts, but with her lips trembling and still faintly discolored from the severe kiss, her appearance was one that could incite the carnal desire of any man. Belvant needed only remove Marietta¡¯s hands from her chest, and he could bury his face into those faint bulges for a deep breath. With a gulp full of her sweet fragrance, he could rub his cheeks along her soft, white¡­ He endured. As one would expect from a militant country¡¯s top general. With the tantalizing Marietta before him, softly and embarrassedly moaning, those feelings of wanting to stretch out his tongue and paint her in his colors, of leaving marks across her skin with his lips, of letting loose the fire burning below him, they were all reined back. Well, he had already left a few kiss marks however. ¡°We¡¯re returning.¡± ¡°Huh?¡± As their bodies abruptly parted, Marietta was perplexed. ¡°The plan was to only¡­ No, I mean, tomorrow seems like it will be very busy with arrangements and meetings and such. I had better return from this short break quickly.¡± ¡°That¡¯s so, isn¡¯t it.¡± As expected, Sir Belvant is so responsible. Not noticing Belvant¡¯s simple evasion, Marietta praised him for his thoughtfulness. With her small, trembling fingers, Marietta absentmindedly refastened her loose buttons and arranged her appearance before attempting to stand from Belvant¡¯s lap, but ¡°Well! I wonder just how I am to do this!¡± Because of the vehement kisses, Marietta once more could put no strength into her legs. With an anxious expression, she desperately fought to stand while supporting herself with Belvant¡¯s shoulder, but in the end she could only cling to his chest. ¡°¡­ You are much too cute.¡± Succumbing to the ferocious feeling of a lion presented with a newborn fawn, Belvant embraced the grumbling Marietta, burying his face against her shoulder. The frantic desire to consume her whole was an all but physical weight upon him, the scent from Marietta¡¯s body only making him more and more giddy with each ragged breath, as the fire within him threatened to consume his body. However, he endured. As one might expect, the general held a resolve of steel. Yet, if the two of them remained alone as they were, Belvant judged that his self resolve would soon burn away to nothing, and quickly gathered Marietta in his arms again. Taking no heed of her physical ability to ride horseback again so soon, he hastily deposited Marietta atop his beloved horse Mistral, and the two hurried back to the royal castle together. That was dangerous. As it was, that little spot in the grass nearly became the place I pushed down and ravaged a princess. This was such a dreamy date. Riding on horseback was and is difficult, but all throughout Sir Belvant wanted me so close to him. The veteran general and the pure princess were absorbed in their thoughts while the horse rocked beneath them. One could say their first date to become acquainted with each other had led to the best possible results. Chapter 9 Because They Wish to Meet Chapter 9 Because They Wish to Meet Belvant carried Marietta, who as yet still could not stand, to her room and placed her on her sofa. ¡°Thank you very much, Sir Belvant. I am glad you invited me today.¡± Marietta unconsciously gripped his shirt as though to say ¡°please don¡¯t go!¡± as she thanked him with her somewhat clouded blue eyes. At the bewitching sight, Belvant¡¯s self control rattled against the chains of his reputation, and he was momentarily shaken. Belvant very nearly succumbed to the wicked demon whispering in his ear ¡°Since she¡¯s already your fiance, what¡¯s the problem if you kiss her some more?¡°. However, feeling a cold thirst for blood from Sierra, he turned his ice blue eyes away from those rose petal lips, and his large figure drew back. If they had been alone, just like that Belvant would have been driven to push Marietta down upon the sofa, kissing her all over and reveling in her sweet cries. ¡°Take some time and rest.¡± Tightly stowing away his thoughts, Belvant kept his face expressionless as an iron wall, giving Marietta one more glance before leaving the room. Ah, so dreamy¡­ Even though that intense glance had only lasted a moment, her chest tightened, and the lovestruck woman could only sink into the sofa with a sigh. ¡°Are you safe, Lady Marietta?¡± Sierra called out as she prepared some herbal tea to calm the heart, thinking the sight before her one of Marietta collapsing in exhaustion after the terrible date with the general. ¡°Yes, I am fine. It is just that, because of various things, I feel somewhat perplexed.¡± Remembering Belvant¡¯s warm, flexible muscles, as well as how he had taken her first kiss, Marietta blushed as she grew happy and excited all over again, covering her face with her hands. I¡¯m so embarrassed. Embarrassed, but at the same time, I want to be hugged more and more! Kyaaaa! ¡°Princess, what¡­ What on earth happened¡­?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Say Sierra, I wonder just what that was?¡± It was a deep kiss, but- ¡°It was so warm, and I felt filled to the brink when it slid inside.¡± It being a tongue. ¡°I didn¡¯t know a man¡¯s would be so large. I was stuffed so full that it nearly hurt¡­¡± The tongue inside her mouth, that is. ¡°P-Princess, you don¡¯t mean-¡° How could that be! Was her precious princess saying the general worked her like a violent wolf? ¡°Afterwards, I wasn¡¯t even able to stand. How embarrassing.¡± ¡°Princess¡­¡± There is no way, despite how they weren¡¯t even married yet?! And to be so thorough that the princess couldn¡¯t stand afterwards? ¡°Oh drat, my shirt buttons are misaligned¡­¡± Noticing a small sense of discomfort across her breasts, Marietta gave a shy laugh as she unfastened her buttons. Thereupon, Sierra was greeted with a new shocking sight. ¡°Princess, those red marks-!¡± ¡°Huh¡­?¡± Stuck fast to the side of her white breast remained a mark, evidence of Belvant¡¯s vigorous assault. Sir Belvant¡¯s face was upon me right here, and then, with his lips, against my breast¡­ ¡°Nooo~!¡± Recalling the yearning figure of Belvant burying his face into and kissing her breasts, Marietta shrieked and swept her shirt closed. ¡°That¡¯s not it, Sierra, this is, you see-¡° ¡°That savage, doing such a thing to a princess¡¯ body before her marriage¡­¡± With tears in her eyes, Sierra ground her teeth. ¡°And to do it out in the open, despite it being the first time! Princess, are you not in any pain?!¡± ¡°Hm? No, it doesn¡¯t hurt at all. I was surprised since it was my first time, but there was somehow a pleasant, fluffy feeling.¡± ¡°Pleasant?! It can¡¯t be, is he some sort of genius lady-killer? That beastly general?¡± At last, Sierra¡¯s innermost thoughts spilled out in their entirety, and Marietta could only respond with a blank look. It would take a full hour of one question after another until the anxious Sierra would obtain the full truth of the matter. The next day and thereafter, Marietta¡¯s heart was aflutter. The sheltered daughter inexperienced in even a light kiss, who dauntlessly admired the burly, manly, fearless, beautiful young man (not to mention several other attributes Marietta considered) to nearly the point of idolization, was embraced, glued to that young man, completely at the mercy of a hot, sticky adult kiss. The shock she had taken was nearly enough to leave her reeling. Marietta wondered if she had been thoroughly deceived¡­ Receiving that sweet kiss, being rendered wholly captive to the adult man¡¯s charm, she was imprisoned, body and mind, in her powerful feelings. Moreover, since her current task was to help plan her marriage with that lovable general, throughout the day, her head was filled with nothing but Belvant. Leading to the current situation. Before she had met Belvant, merely looking into his portrait had been enough to satisfy her. Actually meeting the man himself, seeing the original article, touching him, breathing in his scent¡­ Well, anyway, with the various things she had become acquainted with, she was no longer able to endure with the portrait alone. How I wish to meet with Sir Belvant again. To meet, and to have him hold me close. And, and then¡­ Not knowing what to do with these unmanageable feelings, the pining Marietta could only heave a heartrending sigh. Here I am wishing for him, but what if Sir Belvant isn¡¯t thinking of me at all, I wonder? For a gentleman like him, I must appear quite immature, and my b-breasts, they aren¡¯t as prominent as a young lady¡¯s at all! Perhaps, Sir Belvant does not care much for this engagement¡­ In her solitary anguish, Marietta was moved to tears. ¡°Lady Marietta, are you feeling unwell?¡± She was down with the sickness called Love. For Sierra, who could never imagine that Marietta had fallen for the general at first sight, she was unable to recognize Marietta¡¯s innermost anguish. As such, she could only think that Marietta¡¯s strange state was brought about by the fatigue and mental strain of arriving in a foreign country for marriage. Before long, the fact that Princess Marietta had hidden herself in her bed became something quite different by the time it reached Belvant¡¯s office. ? ¡°Marietta is in poor health then?¡± Adlan, left subject to a steely glare, wanted nothing more than to hide, thinking ¡®No no, it¡¯s not my fault!¡¯ ¡°Well, an important young lady was abruptly made the wife of an unknown man from another country, and before she could compose herself, was brought along to an unknown place.¡± Furthermore, her companion-to-be was the country¡¯s most feared man, to whom no one attached even the thought of a ¡®warrior¡¯s sympathy¡¯ (?). ¡°The circumstances seem discouraging, so isn¡¯t it natural that she would be tired? I think she¡¯ll be healthy again with a short rest.¡± ¡°Is that truly the case? It isn¡¯t some dreadful sickness?¡± Adlan flinched as the low voice pressed him for answers. ¡°No, well, since I¡¯m not a doctor, I can¡¯t state anything definitively, but¡­¡± ¡°I shall go meet with Marietta.¡± ¡°Huh? Right now?¡± ¡°I will know nothing if I do not see the situation with my own eyes.¡± ¡°¡­ Right, that¡¯s the sort of guy you are, huh? Alright, we have mountains of work here, but a short get-well visit should be fine.¡± With a conclusion reached, Belvant stalked off with a grimace, his childhood friend Adlan following him along to Marietta¡¯s room with an unintentionally broad grin. ¡°I wish to meet Marietta.¡± ¡°Oh, r-right away.¡± Arriving with a face that seemed to suggest he was challenging her to a duel to the death, the maid on duty cowered. In that moment, Sierra appeared, her hand reflexively gripping a knife she had prepared in the folds of her skirt as she firmly blocked Belvant¡¯s path. ¡°¡­ On what business have you arrived?¡± ¡°I¡¯m only here to ask after my fiance¡¯s poor health.¡± ¡°Sorry, miss maid.¡± Adlan called out, leaning his head around the gargantuan roadblock that was Belvant. ¡°I hope you understand at a glance that she is unable to meet anyone? If you do not, general, various things might become complicated here.¡± ¡°Understood. Well then, I shall go hear from the Princess.¡± Marietta, oblivious to the minor disturbance occurring next door, was out on her balcony, leaning against the handrail as she thought of her beloved General Belvant Fargus and sighed. ¡°Sir Belvant¡­¡± ¡°Please wait!¡± ¡°Marietta!¡± With the thumping of footsteps, the door was thrown open, and Belvant¡¯s figure appeared with haste just ahead of Sierra. ¡°Sir, Belvant¡­?¡± At the abrupt appearance of the very person weighing on her heart, Marietta was frozen mid-turn. ¡°Ah¡­¡± In the instant Marietta¡¯s eyes grew cloudy, Sierra had already leapt forward and interposed herself between her lady and Belvant. ¡°General Fargus, what is this audacity!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll be intruding.¡± Placing one hand on her shoulder, Belvant easily brushed Sierra aside, and the general stood before Marietta. Adlan did his best to pacify the maid as she trembled with anger. ¡°Right, we¡¯re being quite rude, but we¡¯re just concerned about the princess. There¡¯s no strange pretenses involved at all, so could you forgive us?¡± ¡°Marietta, I hear your health has been poor?¡± Belvant completely ignored Aldan¡¯s mediation as he softly gripped Marietta¡¯s right hand, his eyes meeting hers. ¡°Are you well enough to be out of bed? Are you properly taking your meals?¡± ¡°Sir Belvant¡­¡± Tears welled up from her eyes. ¡°I-I¡­ so, lonely¡­¡± Thanks to the trembling of her lips, the princess was splendidly misunderstood. ¡°So you¡¯ve been lonely? That¡¯s right, it makes sense that you would grow lonely, separated from your acquaintances in a faraway country and secluded in your room.¡± What bad luck, the meaning shifted! ¡°There are various places I wish to bring you still, but if I were to neglect my considerable workload¡­ Marietta, come.¡± ¡°Eep-!¡± Suddenly swept into the air with a single arm, Marietta¡¯s tears were cut off with surprise. She quickly clung to his neck, where she caught once more a faint whiff of his scent, her face blushing. ¡°I guess I¡¯ll be able to bring you like this.¡± With Belvant¡¯s face spontaneously appearing just in front of her own, Marietta could only dip her head, hiding the brilliant smile that bloomed across her face. An overwhelming feeling, a staggering joy, made tears sprout in her eyes once more. ¡°Please release the Princess! What do you have to say for this outrage!¡± Sierra shouted, misunderstanding those tears as a materialization of fear, as she somehow blocked the general¡¯s apparent kidnapping. Adlan was at her side, attempting to pacify her with ¡°It¡¯s alright, so calm down, he isn¡¯t going to eat her! No, really, calm down Miss Maid, there¡¯s no need to use that knife!¡± Sir Belvant, I¡¯m so glad. How dreamy, how lovable; I¡¯ve been blessed. Ach, as it is, if there were a bed¡­ No, how could I. Marietta¡¯s face bloomed like a flower, and she clung to Belvant with a gentle squeeze, her warm, sweet scent nearly stripping Belvant of his reason. The sight of her ecstatically embracing her lover was like a violent gale through the hearts of everyone else present. Chapter 10 The Unmindful Princess Chapter 10 The Unmindful Princess That very same day, the figure of Belvant walking with Marietta surprised everyone who saw it. The shape of the well-muscled man easily carrying the princess under one arm was the spitting image of a great king of demons abducting a delicate fairy. For Belvant, the decision to carry Marietta wasn¡¯t particularly based on some desire to flirt or dally. If they were walking side by side, he would be forced to bend quite far over to converse evenly with the small Marietta, and would also need to maintain a comfortable walking pace between the both of them. By holding her close in his arms, they would be able to travel without issue. Utilizing these reasons and more, the beautiful girl remained in his arms. Marietta, embraced by that snug arm, was ecstatic that she could be glued to her beloved Belvant. Ah, and again, this supreme fortune! To be this close to Sir Belvant. Feeling just a smidgen embarrassed, but happy, Marietta¡¯s face faintly reddened as she clung a bit more tightly to his arm. A fleeting glance at Belvant¡¯s face revealed his usual expressionless look, focused forward as he walked, but when he caught sight of her gaze, his lips twitched just the faintest bit. Just that was enough to send Marietta spiraling towards heaven, and her feelings blossomed across her honest face like a brilliant flower. The sight did not escape Belvant, and the general¡¯s breath caught in his throat for an instant before he tensed his face into a scowl and turned away, struggling to pin down his conflicting, innermost feelings. And thus, the beyond brilliant smile of the fairy and the fearsome lord of demons completed their image. ¡°This is the royal kitchen.¡± Belvant¡¯s guided tour included places that were a bit different from where one would normally bring a young lady. The previous stop had been the stables, where they had fed Mistral some carrots, and now it was the kitchen. ¡°Oho, is this not General Fargus?¡± ¡°What are you being so formal for?¡± ¡°Hahaha, Belvant, did your belly start to ache? Or, rather, who¡¯s the lovely little lady? Don¡¯t tell me you kidnapped her from somewhere and brought her here? A bit of the spoils of war, some extra booty?¡± Questions poured from the well-built, red headed man apparently in charge of the kitchen, his eyes wide. ¡°Kidnapped? This is the princess that will be my wife.¡± ¡°WIIIFE? This small child? You, no matter how much of a hero you are, a crime¡¯s still a crime!¡± ¡°You have any sweet pastries? She likes them.¡± ¡°Listen to what I¡¯m saying, darnit! Little Miss, you shouldn¡¯t follow unknown old men like this, even if they promise you sweets. Otherwise you¡¯ll be eaten yourself.¡± ¡°Um, well¡­¡± Am I ¡®little miss¡¯? Marietta¡¯s bright blonde hair glimmered as she sweetly tilted her head. ¡°Ach, so adorab¡­ If you want pastries, I¡¯ll make you as many as you want, just please get away from the old man there!¡± ¡°Who¡¯s an old man. Don¡¯t touch Marietta.¡± The red headed man stretched out a hand as though to rescue Marietta from Belvant¡¯s arm, and Marietta was quickly raised out of his reach. Lifted high, high into the air, Marietta let out a small ¡°Eep-!¡± and gripped at Belvant¡¯s arm. ¡°This person is truly my wife. Her age is no issue because she is eighteen. If you¡¯re satisfied, bring out some pastries.¡± ¡®My wife¡¯¡­ ¡®wife¡¯¡­ Kyaa, I¡¯m so embarrassed! Marietta blushed, floating midair. ¡°She¡¯s eighteen? Why you, you¡¯re carrying her with one hand like a kid, you know! It¡¯s all sorts of misleading!¡± ¡°Hurry up with those pastries.¡± The red headed man grumbled complaints even as he stuffed Marietta¡¯s hands full of sweets, warning her ¡°tell me if he tries anything funny. I¡¯ll stuff his mouth full of chili powder, alright?¡± with a mean grin and a chuckle, before turning around to Belvant with a belated ¡°congratulations!¡± ¡°That man, he has been providing my meals since I was a mere underling.¡± ¡°My, in that case, you might say that your wonderful physique came about thanks to his assistance, right, Sir Belvant?¡± Saying as much, Marietta¡¯s small hands gently stroked along his shoulder¡¯s deltoid, his pectorals, and around to his back to his trapezius, admiring Belvant¡¯s firm bulges and swells. ¡°But this well tempered body is the result of Sir Belvant¡¯s habitual training, no?¡± ¡°Well, I guess.¡± Belvant¡¯s complexion remained steady as Marietta freely touched him, but, even though the girl held in his arm meant no ill will, the smell of her sweet scent and the feeling of her gliding touch promoted a turbulent mood within the healthy adult man. What is this? I must still be lacking willpower. ¡°This way is the practice ground!¡± With his face stiffly facing forward, Belvant set off for the first location he thought would reduce his chances of doing something completely inappropriate to the princess. At the practice ground, the knights of Oltair were busy training. Tasked with exercising both their bodies as a whole and individual muscles for a solid foundation, each individual trained with a practice sword. With the gathered men wielding massive swords and jumping about with fast, practiced footwork, the odor of sweat hung heavy in the air, giving the room an excessive stench of men. And here, the number one swordmaster of the country, the general himself, arrived with a young woman many would mistake for a girl under his arm. In mere moments, the knights started a commotion. ¡°What? Why would someone bring a noble lady somewhere like this?¡± Having arrived earlier when he separated from the general to practice, Adlan was shocked. ¡°You idiot, your date route is absolutely wrong if it leads you here.¡± Even Belvant himself managed to notice his mistake somehow, but the man certainly had his circumstances. ¡°Just wanted to move my body a bit.¡± Belvant stepped across towards a crude bench in the shade and, laying down his jacket, set Marietta down. With only a thin shirt covering his torso, Marietta¡¯s heart throbbed at her nigh unrestricted view of Belvant¡¯s tight muscles. How is his body so dreamy? Ah, I wish he would just hug me. The girl¡¯s delusions ran full throttle, but since her own experience only went as far as kissing, her thoughts didn¡¯t advance too far. Getting a hug was virtually the extent. ¡°Take a good look at the skills of the knights that protect this country.¡± Belvant, not seeing Marietta¡¯s sweet internal desires in favor of covering up his own, hefted a practice sword. ¡°I will. Take care, Sir Belvant!¡± ¡°Some small injuries are no trouble.¡± ¡°If anyone gets injured, I will gladly offer treatment.¡± It could not be helped that, in that moment, several wicked thoughts floated through the minds of the gathered knights. Belvant turned to the knights and spoke with a voice low enough to rattle the earth. ¡°You knights, I will not allow injuries.¡± Because if you¡¯re injured, you¡¯ll be killed! Filled with dread, the knights restarted their practice. Being both under the eyes of a beautiful lady and able to spar against the powerful, famous Belvant, the knights¡¯ morale was relatively high. They overcame the fierce glare directed their way for the slight chance to test themselves against his strength, but even drawing forth all the strength they could muster against Belvant, the general¡¯s ability with a sword was too dreadful. ¡°Next!¡± Desperately holding on against the drive, the power, the unflinching cruelty of the man who earned the title ¡®Fierce God¡¯, the knights could only sink to the ground. As their sweat and perseverance strangely seemed to encourage them to train even harder, Marietta¡¯s lips slightly parted at the men¡¯s blazing battle. Though, perhaps it would be more appropriate to say her attention was mostly on Belvant¡¯s performance. To the side, Adlan was agape. Come on, this isn¡¯t the sort of thing to show a sheltered young lady, you know? While there were a few outliers, this was pretty much a big brawl between brawny, macho human meatballs. Put simply, it definitely wasn¡¯t a lovely sight. Moreover, General Fargus was the most ferocious of them all. Catching a glance of Marietta¡¯s wide-eyed stare, Adlan sighed. ¡°Even at the best of times you look frightening, but right now you look like the most terrifying thing on earth, you know? Damn.¡± Far separated from Adlan¡¯s worry, Belvant¡¯s dynamic, gallant figure and bursting muscles had Marietta engrossed. Perhaps following the age-old adage that opposites attract, Marietta was drawn to his rugged glamour, yearned for his powerful, sturdy body. Amazing! So powerful! You are so lovely, Sir Belvant! Even as her eyes grew misty and her breath slightly ragged, she scorched the scene before her into her eyes. Belvant¡¯s castle tour continued in the afternoon, after he took a short rinse and Marietta had eaten lunch, this time to his office. ¡°Please excu-huwha?¡± Some uniformed subordinate entered on business, only to raise a surprised voice. On the other side of the office desk sat Belvant, the tiny Marietta sitting upon his lap. ¡°Say, are you certain I am not hindering your work?¡± ¡°It¡¯s no problem.¡± Making good on his words, Belvant silently tidied up the nearby papers. ¡°Considering the state of the desk work today, the princess isn¡¯t much of a hindrance. At least, not simply sitting on a lap, I think.¡± She¡¯s not a kitten though, Adlan added as he entered with fresh tea. ¡°But, well, it seems like work is actually progressing thanks to the princess.¡± ¡°Do you truly think so?¡± It even seemed like Belvant was having no trouble handling his wicked power, appearing as quite a capable man. ¡°However, today I also learned many pleasant things about my dear husband.¡± With a soft poof, Marietta¡¯s face dyed and she ducked her head. ¡°D-dear husband¡­ Um, Adlan-¡° ¡°Ah, well, I¡¯m going to take a break; back in an hour or so!¡± Sensing an atmosphere, just like that Adlan left the room, and somehow, for whatever reason, locked the door from outside. Chapter 11 A Little Nibble of the Princess Chapter 11 A Little Nibble of the Princess Adlan left the room behind with a click of the lock, and Belvant lifted Marietta off his lap, moving across the room to gently set her down on the sofa next to the room¡¯s tea table before lowering himself down as well. On that sofa meant for two, the small Marietta found herself right up against Belvant¡¯s well-built body. ¡°I suppose you¡¯re tired? Have some tea and rest a bit.¡± ¡°Well, I feel well enough. On the other hand, you must be tired with how enthusiastically you have taken to your work, Sir Belvant. Really, there is such a dreadful amount of work for you, no?¡± ¡°Certainly, since my work involves information covering the entire country. At times, I can delegate some tasks to Adlan, but since so much of it requires close analysis and follow-through, it ends up quite the trouble. After all, my subordinates would forget how to swing a sword well if I ordered them all into offices.¡± ¡°Is there anything I might do to help?¡± ¡°If I had to say, being close like you are right now is good.¡± ¡°Understood!¡± A teacup in hand, Marietta sweetly smiled and nodded her assent, and his boorish fingers softly pet her hair. ¡°What well tended, beautiful hair. It¡¯s easy to see you care for it well. It¡¯s unfortunate you would come to be the wife of a man like me, only good for fighting wars.¡± ¡°It¡¯s not unfortunate at all.¡± Marietta set her cup back on the table and twisted about the narrow space to face Belvant. ¡°I can only think that Sir Belvant is a magnificent gentleman, and I am quite fortunate to be with him.¡± ¡°You do not have to force yourself to say that.¡± ¡°I am not forcing myself at all.¡± ¡°Women who see me all escape as soon as they are able though.¡± ¡°It¡¯s good if those inferior insects don¡¯t even try!¡± ¡°¡­ This adorable person here is surprisingly strong-willed.¡± Belvant gave a soft chuckle as Marietta grew red. Beautiful, adorable, Marietta had heard all these compliments before, but for some reason, whenever Belvant said them, Marietta¡¯s chest would tighten and she couldn¡¯t help but feel embarrassed. ¡°Sir Belvant surely prefers women who are more mature, right? Women who are, compared to me, more¡­¡± ¡± ¡®More¡­¡¯ what?¡± ¡°Who have more abundant breasts, and such?¡± ¡°Breasts¡­ Does it worry you?¡± ¡°No, worry? I don¡¯t mind at all-¡° She did mind. Belvant pondered for a moment before he spoke again. ¡°Marietta, since we will become husband and wife, we should address our worries about the situation.¡± ¡°Oh, well, that would be the case, yes? Marietta obediently nodded, and Belvant revealed a satisfied face. ¡°In that case, will you let me judge them for myself?¡± ¡°Hm? HUH?¡± Belvant extended his fingers towards the ribbon above Marietta¡¯s chest and skillfully untied it. At the unexpected situation, Marietta¡¯s eyes flew open, and she was unable to decide whether she should try to conceal her breasts as the fluffy, white swells peeked through her dress. ¡°U-um, uh-¡° ¡°Aren¡¯t these rather splendid? They are a perfect fit for my hands.¡± Belvant, his face unchanging, took Marietta¡¯s breasts in his hands. Wha- what are you doing, Sir Belvant? A man¡¯s strong,angular hands were fondling the soft portions of her body she had concealed from the world. Marietta trembled as a brand new feeling was born within her. Aah, what is this? How could I be doing something so embarrassing before Sir Belvant¡­ My body feels a little strange¡­ Marietta herself felt completely perplexed, and she even felt she could say the current situation was quite disgraceful for her, but she couldn¡¯t call the feeling of Belvant¡¯s hands upon her detestable. If anything, she felt it was a pleasant experience. This is quite immodest of me, but everywhere Sir Belvant touches feels hot enough to burn up. Those hands mushed into the marshmallow-like breasts, their form softly distorting. Even as she felt it improper, Marietta twisted her body around to completely offer her chest to Belvant. ¡°They feel pleasantly soft to the touch. Moreover, rubbing them like this improves circulation, which will help them grow larger, it¡¯s said. If you want to assess that rumor¡¯s validity, I am willing to help. However, I feel they are splendid as they are.¡± ¡°Oh, thank, you, Sir Belv-Aaah, Sir Belvant¡­¡± Marietta was not sure how much of his words were mere flattery, but she turned to his diligently honest face and said her thanks with teary eyes. Before long, within Belvant¡¯s hands were two firm, faintly pink summits rubbing stiffly against his palms. Every movement would send pleasant, numb echoes through her lower half, and Marietta began to restlessly wiggle back and forth. ¡°Oh, it seems I¡¯ve caused this here to swell. Unpardonable. It seems I¡¯ve done something rude.¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s-¡° Belvant¡¯s hands are quite gentle, she wanted to say, but before she could, those pointed pink protuberances were taken up in his mouth as he gently started to lick. ¡°Ahhn!¡± At that moment, as though bound by chains of pleasure, Marietta arched her back. Looking down, her eyes were fixed in an ice blue gaze. With a soft, wet noise, Belvant brought the tip of her breast into his mouth and set his tongue in motion. His hands gently peeled back her dress, savoring the touch of her white skin. Those hands left a trail of fire in their wake, as Marietta¡¯s body was dyed red. With some final moment of bashfulness, Marietta averted her eyes, and Belvant took her summit in a powerful kiss. ¡°Aaahhn!¡° The innocent maiden looked to Belvant with clouded eyes, unaware that her gaze had shifted to that of a captivating woman. ¡°¡­ Marietta, why is it you are so meek?¡± ¡°Ah, am I, meek..?¡± ¡°Even if I am to be your husband, you have said not one word of complaint. Why? Were you fiercely instructed not to do so?¡± Belvant maintained his tempestuous assault, and as his teeth rubbed against Marietta¡¯s stiff teat, she could not help but raise a cry from the feelings radiating through her body. ¡°Ahh, Sir Belvant, please don¡¯t torment me¡± ¡°I want to see just how absurdly cute you can become.¡± Belvant whispered into her ear with a subtle flick of his tongue, his hands each grabbing a breast to take over the work of his mouth. ¡°I know how I look. Do you not find me frightening?¡± ¡°Since, Sir Belvant is¡­¡± ¡°What do you mean?¡± ¡°I, since the first time I saw Sir Belvant¡¯s portrait, that¡­¡± Marietta¡¯s voice dropped to the barest of whispers. ¡°He seems like such a dreamy gentleman, I thought. I like you¡­ Sir Belvant¡­¡± At the revelation provided by Marietta, her face dyed in embarrassment, the impact nearly gave Belvant a nosebleed. ¡°W-w-what-¡° The decorated hero was more flustered in this moment than in any of the countless battles he had faced. ¡°Nooo, I can¡¯t bring myself to say it again.¡± Marietta crumbled, trying to hide her bright red face in her hands. ¡°Ma¡­ Marietta¡­¡± ¡°Sir Belvant, ah, mmn-¡° Belvant took his hands from Marietta¡¯s chest and swept her up in a kiss. ¡°It¡¯s already hopeless, how am I supposed to endure this!¡± ¡°Mm, nmm, mmNmm-¡° Thrusting in his tongue, Marietta¡¯s own tongue was swept away and entangled in his vehement movements as he took her mouth from every angle. Under the kiss as ferocious as a rutting beast, Marietta¡¯s breathing soon grew faint, and before long she had nearly parted with her consciousness again. Later, arriving exactly one hour after he had left, Adlan returned. ¡°This is overkill! I said you needed to get intimate with her, not attack her!¡± Marietta looked like a doll whose strings had been cut, and Sierra shot Belvant a frigid glare as she carried the princess out. ¡°I have no regrets!¡± Belvant, after nearly destroying Marietta¡¯s chastity before marriage, reined in his overflowing rapture and burning desire by dumping cold water over his head again and again, eventually returning to his iron fortress demeanor. [Author Note] Oh Nooo~, Sir Belvant at last becomes a beast But, just as the king wished, the two appear to be getting intimate. How wonderful. Chapter 12 Are They Dim, or Just Innocent? Chapter 12 Are They Dim, or Just Innocent? ¡°Hehe, so there¡¯s a way to make breasts go vwoom; I wonder if Sir Belvant will be pleased. I can¡¯t wait to try it.¡± Paying no attention to who may be listening, the young maiden muttered something fairly immodest once she returned to her room. Rubbing her own chest, she could only mutter ¡°Huh, it feels a little different¡± and tilt her head in puzzlement. ¡°Let¡¯s see, didn¡¯t Sir Belvant scoop them up more from below like this¡­ It was more like he grasped the entire thing huh? Humph, I suppose you need large palms to skillfully cover them like that, and my hands just aren¡¯t that big.¡± Remembering those gentle, warm, and just a bit mean-spirited hands massaging her breasts, Marietta felt a somewhat strange and sweet sensation grow within her, making her sigh. ¡°If only I had paid more attention to the technique so I could do it myself. However, as expected of an esteemed general, he saw through my worries and created a tactic against them in moments. His knowledge is truly splendid.¡± Your reverence is a bit mistaken, Marietta ¡°I wonder if that feeling of my chest being hot and my body sort of itching means they¡¯re growing¡­?¡± That would be a no. ¡°But, it¡¯s still a bit embarrassing how much Sir Husband had his way with my chest, so I¡¯ll just keep that a secret.¡± Good call. ¡°My Lady, the tea has been prepared.¡± ¡°Thank you, Sierra.¡± At the invitation, Marietta took her seat at the table with a red face. ¡°Hehe, I was given tea a short while ago as well, though not much ended up wetting my throat.¡± Seeing Marietta¡¯s improved complexion and mood, Sierra gave a soft sigh of relief that her master was doing better, even if she did not know what had occurred during the afternoon. ¡°It is my deepest pleasure¡­ My lady, are you not unwell?¡± ¡°Unwell? No, it seems I¡¯m feeling better today. Just earlier, Sir Belvant brought me along to various places, and it was awfully enjoyable. However¡­ That¡¯s right.¡± Come tomorrow, I¡¯ll likely want to see Sir Belvant again, and become lonely all over again. They had only just separated, and already the desire to see him again was intolerable. Trapped completely by the illness called love, Marietta hung her head and sighed. ¡°It is not appropriate to be too selfish. Since I am also an adult, I must endure.¡± ¡°My lady¡­¡± It¡¯s because of the general, because he¡¯s been harsh to her, right! That she¡¯s being forced to endure! Sierra, under the impression that Marietta was a heartrending victim of a cruel arranged marriage, silently dabbed at the corner of her eyes. Although Marietta was already feeling the sting of her need to visit Belvant, and felt driven to hasten the marriage preparations along, today she was busy preparing for a different bit of festivity the coming evening. Moreover, since this event would be her debut in Oltaire, naturally she would attend together with Belvant. She would receive his escort, in fact. In order to present a mature demeanor this evening, she wore a dark, glossy dress with a simple A-line figure decorated with complex lace patterns and glittering glass beads, and some supportive underwear pushed her slightly lacking chest into a somewhat more flattering prominence. Her golden hair was combed out until it shone, then pulled up and skillfully decorated with white roses, blue lilies, and small pearls. Across her chest was a necklace of ice blue Oltaire diamonds, their radiant glow matching the set of earrings she had received from Belvant. The simple style together propelled Marietta¡¯s own natural beauty to the forefront, and those nearby wondered if she wasn¡¯t actually a true queen of fairies. In order to avoid presenting an awkward image when coupled with the thirty year old Belvant, Sierra had been in charge of preparing Marietta¡¯s mature look, and now she nodded in assent. ¡°You are a terrific beauty, my lady.¡± Sierra gave her final affirmation of Marietta¡¯s preparation with confidence. ¡°Excellent, thank you Sierra. With this, there should be no issue standing with Sir Belvant, correct?¡± Sierra smiled as Marietta examined her reflection in a full length mirror. ¡°I think he¡¯s the one who doesn¡¯t deserve to stand next to you though.¡± Her true feelings leaked for just a moment, but she hid them with a shake of her head. My lady is more than that uncivilized soldier deserves. However, that¡¯s not something I can say. My lady is enduring to the best of her ability, and I must support her fully as her maid. The loyal attendant, despite the heartbreak weighing upon her consciousness, chose to uphold her duties. ¡°Miss, General Fargus has arrived.¡± Once he was announced, Belvant entered Marietta¡¯s room. ¡°Oh, Sir Belvant¡­¡± Catching sight of him once again, Marietta¡¯s tongue was tied. Belvant was dressed in black formals from shoulders to shoes with a golden sash flowing diagonally across his torso, the medals hanging from his chest completing his image of a war hero. Belvant¡¯s strong, towering body was amply intimidating to begin with, and the sharp glint in his eyes, as though he were preparing to finish off a sworn enemy, was the final nail in the coffin. Any weak willed individuals who found themselves in his way would flee barefoot through the woods to escape, and even Sierra¡¯s feet were frozen at his arrival. Marietta¡¯s eyes, however, viewed the scene with pink-tinted goggles. She found her beloved fiance¡¯s fearless appearance so attractive (Marietta was nothing if not persistent) that her breath caught in her throat before soon growing ragged. Oh. My. Goodness! H-h-how, just how dreamy can he get! Mmm, how can my sir husband be so attractive! That uniform is just, oh, I can¡¯t even bear it, he is above and beyond my type, I think I¡¯m getting dizzy. Marietta struggled to get her breathing in order, staggering as she pinned her mouth closed. Belvant quickly closed the distance between them and supported her shoulder. ¡°Are you alright? Has your physical condition not yet recovered?¡± Fuaaa, Sir Belvant¡¯s scent is¡­ Was it the smell of soap, or his natural fragrance, this aroma that stuck close to his body? Marietta unintentionally sucked in a breath, and grew bright red in embarrassment. ¡°No, I am fine, though, Sir Belvant¡­¡± Fidgeting, she murmured in a voice too soft for Belvant to hear ¡°s-so dreamy¡±. ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Extremely attractive! I, you, oh how can say it¡­?¡± Belvant was at a loss for words. Even at the best of times, Belvant would have been stunned by Marietta¡¯s lovely charm, but just the other day he had luxuriantly assaulted the peaks of her soft chest, and now she appeared before him wielding a mature aura many times more charming than her usual appearance. At her rose colored face and adorable words, the wild beast inside him let out a roar that seemed to pierce through his very being. At that moment, he wanted nothing more than to hold her close, to kiss her, to push her down and do all sorts of delicious things. He wanted to keep this adorable creature for himself, and himself alone, to wrap her in his arms and hide her away there forever. His arms trembled as he fought to pin down these troublesome innermost thoughts, and his eyes blazed with a fiendish glare. ¡°Marietta, you are most certainly a fascinating beauty. How can I say it, I¡­ Just want to eat you whole.¡± Now now Belvant, even if you¡¯re inexperienced in flattering women, this is too much. However, in the face of Belvant¡¯s ferocious, feverish eyes, Marietta only sweetly tilted her head. ¡°Oh, I am not confident I would be particularly delicious though.¡± ¡°I think you would be undoubtedly, frightfully delicious.¡± Sierra had gone pale at the words ¡°want to eat you whole¡±. Is he a man-eating demon?! Or else, does he mean sex?! Either way, both are unthinkable! ¡°I-I feel we had better start making our way to the evening party soon!¡± Sierra shouted, judging that she needed to get the princess to a public location immediately in order to protect her body. Chapter 13 Dancing with You Chapter 13 Dancing with You ¡°Announcing General Fargus and, from the Kingdom of Stellaus, Princess Marietta!¡± By this point, almost everyone present knew of Oltaire¡¯s hero Belvant and the high profile, so-called ¡°princess of the nation¡± Marietta. Setting foot into the hall prepared for the evening party, Marietta was forced to recognize the sheer scale of this country called Oltaire. The vast hall overflowing with people differed from what she would have seen in her own country. Since Stellaus was a small kingdom, whenever she attended an event, she would be able to recognize most of her acquaintances. Here, however, the crowd was a mass of the unknown. The moment they entered, all those unfamiliar eyes turned towards Marietta, as though appraising her. For just a moment, her hand tightened it¡¯s grip on Belvant¡¯s arm. His attention drawn, Belvant passed Marietta a fleeting glance. ¡°Shall we go, Sir Belvant?¡± Though one might have expected her to falter under the pressure, she turned forward with a bright smile as she looked at each and every person. Since her youth, the lady of Stellaus had trained in social etiquette, and that training shone clearly in her bewitching smile and dignified wave to the crowd. ¡°Is that Stellaus¡¯ Princess Marietta?¡± ¡°I had heard the rumors, but she truly is a beautiful lady.¡± ¡°She certainly is the Living Jewel of Stellaus, no?¡± It seemed she had already garnered quite the bit of fame as the lovely treasure of the Stellaus royal family, but actually seeing her in person showed that the person herself lived up to her rumors, if not exceeded them. Marietta smiling face turned across the room, granting a generous nod to those that met her eyes. Those caught by her noble radiance, her pitiful beauty, could only breath a sigh. Upon those small, noble shoulders rested the entire Stellaus Kingdom. She is so much more than simply a beautiful face. Impressed by the strength of her heart, Belvant proudly puffed out his chest as he escorted his fiance. Of course, he made sure to fire silent, coercive glares at any man who looked at Marietta with a speck of impure intent. The evening party was a chance to socialize, and, as a dance was a vital measure of communication for events like these, dancing was an indispensable skill for nobles. Belvant hailed from a lower noble family himself, and as such, received training in various aristocratic responsibilities, up to and including dancing¡­ Supposedly. As it happened, he could hardly ever find a woman to practice with him, so his skill with his feet was yet unseen. ¡°Marietta, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Yes¡± The first to dance for the evening would be the king and queen, followed by the escorted couple. The two fiances would need to dance through three straight pieces of music under the watchful, judging eyes of the Oltaire aristocracy. This was a battle ground, even if it didn¡¯t look the part. Marietta took Belvant¡¯s hand, and the two stepped forward to begin their battle. Yet. As soon as Marietta felt the weight of his arm around her back, the cold eyes around her seemed to disappear. Her face slightly blushing, when she raised her glittering eyes, she could see nothing but Belvant, feeling nothing but pure joy. I¡¯m glad I am able to dance with this dreamy Sir Belvant! I¡¯ve been blessed. Ah, this man will become my husband, you know? This mighty, gallant gentleman! All mine! I love you, Belvant. Concealing her sweet desire to monopolize the general, her slim fingers tightly seized Belvant¡¯s hand. Meeting her eyes, hearing those rose petal lips ecstatically mutter his name, a smile teased at Belvant¡¯s lips. This girl¡­ No, this woman, she truly likes me, huh? To her honest, yearning eyes, her sweltering gaze, there existed nothing and no one besides the man called ¡°The Invincible General¡±, and ¡°The Most Wicked Knight¡±. The macho man, who often reeked of sweat and aimed to become a knight since his earliest memories, was nearly moved to tears by his partner. This golden kitten, this extraordinarily charming creature that looked fluffy and tender enough to shatter if he was too rough, looked at him with favor, her blue eyes unclouded by fear. Belvant felt his chest squeeze in an almost painful sweet feeling. I¡¯ll cherish you, I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯re happy, so, please, stay with me forever. Belvant put more strength into the hands embracing Marietta, and she happily pressed herself against him. The first tune started soon after, and the two began their dance. However, because of the difference in their heights, their step size was completely different. Just as it seemed Marietta¡¯s posture would break from the sheer difference in their leg length, Belvant lightly swept her up. ¡°Well, this is to be expe¡­¡± Wrapped tightly in an embrace, Marietta realized about halfway through her step that she was flying through the air. With Belvant taking almost complete charge of her weight, her body was as light as a feather. Then, under Belvant¡¯s considerable skill, Marietta was turning circles as she danced in the air, looking in every way like a genuine fairy. That lovely young fairy¡¯s dance with the fearless black lion looked as though it had sprung straight from a dream, and the assorted eyes of the gallery were fascinated. Dancing in the air, Marietta gradually found she couldn¡¯t contain her amusement and let out a tinkling laugh. ¡°Hehe, Sir Belvant, what fun!¡± ¡°Is that right.¡± ¡°It¡¯s like I am flying. It is a wonderful feeling.¡± ¡°If you are so delighted, I guess I¡¯ll let you soar as much as you like.¡± Turning her about in a flashy rotation, Marietta gifted him with a joyous smile that made even the glittering Oltaire diamonds around her neck appear dull. Facing such an innocent young Marietta, feeling her affection, Belvant¡¯s face grew boundlessly tender and sweet. Seeing the two fall into their own little world, a shock ran through everyone present. ¡°Hey, the heck, is he smiling?! That General?¡± ¡°The ¡®Fierce God¡¯ is smiling¡­ Is this the end of the world?¡± ¡°No, wait, calm down, are we certain that that is General Fargus? Because¡­¡± That smiling Belvant. Was an Outrageously Handsome Man. The tight, lean muscles about his tall body were well packed into his black formals, and his silky, tawny hair was neatly set. His ice blue eyes held a brilliant shine, and just below his nose, his somewhat thick, sexy lips wore an affectionate smile. Though the description sounded like a typical hero from one of Marietta¡¯s beloved romance novels, it was no exaggeration; the man was truly charming. ¡°Is it true?! Is that General Fargus? That, how, he¡¯s such a dreamy gentleman!¡± ¡°How could I have not noticed¡­ General Fargus is¡­ so fascinating¡­¡± Many of the young ladies present, especially those with a taste for good looking, manly men, gazed at Belvant, spellbound. Even though tonight was the debut of Belvant¡¯s betrothal, he had never before appeared so attractive to the opposite sex as he did in this moment. ¡°Miss Marietta¡¯s face¡­ What?!¡± Among the many eyes watching the lovey-dovey couple, one woman alone staggered in shock: the attendant Sierra. Convinced that the princess¡¯ love sickness was actually poor physical health, Sierra had decided to stand watch over her master from a corner of the assembly hall. ¡°That expression, it¡¯s the same one she wore when she fell for Lyortas, the hero of ¡®The Silver Knight and Captive Princess¡¯¡­ Her expression is so loose she looks near ready to melt, the face of someone madly in love¡­ It can¡¯t be, does she not truly dislike the general? Wait, if that¡¯s the case, her behavior until now is incomprehensible. Let¡¯s see¡­¡± Sierra was in chaos. ¡°Yo, Miss Maid. Thanks again for helping out the other day, eh?¡± Adlan, part of the security for tonight, recognized Sierra and gave a greeting before turning his eyes to the dancing couple. ¡°Seeing them like this, those two seem fairly well-matched, no? In the beginning, I wondered how it would all work out, but they¡¯re getting along well. Ahh, they have such a good mood going that we might be sucked right in, huh?¡­ Something wrong?¡± ¡°Their relationship, does it seem good?¡± ¡°Definitely good. Belvant has completely lost his head over the Princess¡¯ charm, right? That guy, it¡¯s easy to misunderstand him with how he looks, but inside he¡¯s an earnest, nice guy, and it looks like your princess has seen right through all that huh? Not bewildered by outward appearances, she is quite the level-headed woman.¡± ¡°That, is correct. The princess is a magnificent lady. She certainly holds eyes that can see through the truth.¡± Unlike my inexperienced self, Sierra weakly muttered. ¡°How long, do you think it¡¯s been like that?¡± A bit of the situation was suspicious, but was it already too late? Had she fallen madly in love with the general? ¡°Since when? You mean Princess Marietta¡¯s feelings, or Belvant¡¯s?¡± ¡°The Princess¡¯.¡± ¡°I wonder. For that, wouldn¡¯t it be fine to just ask the princess herself? After all, girls love conversations like that, no?¡± ¡°¡­ Yes, that would be best.¡± Still confused, Sierra let out a sigh. [Author Note] Sierra, shock! Also, what is this attractive development; is this the same Belvant? (lol) Chapter 14 The Aftermath of the Party and the Young Duchess Chapter 14 The Aftermath of the Party and the Young Duchess ¡°Thank you for coming, Lady Marietta. It is an honour to be able to meet you.¡± With an elegant smile, the young duchess Saphine offered Marietta tea. The two found themselves in the duchess¡¯ garden, a refreshing breeze blowing through the blooming roses around them sending a pleasant mood through the area. The garden was famous among the nobles for its garden parties, but today it hosted only a small tea party for two. Attendants lined the table with Oltaire¡¯s most famous cakes and colorful canapes, and when Marietta tasted the vibrant amber tea, the sweet scent of roses spread throughout her senses, the delicacy making her innocently smile. ¡°Oh, how delicious. Is this a rose tea? There are so many fantastic things here in Oltaire, no?¡± Saphine faltered against that cherubic expression. ¡°I want to thank you for your invitation to tea today. I am so happy that I am able to find a new friend in this country.¡± Saphine¡¯s cheeks twitched. When did I declare I was your friend? No, the meaning behind that invitation was completely different! This is the place where I declare you my rival, you know?! Ever since Marietta and Belvant¡¯s ¡°legendary dance¡±, their vicinity had grown dreadfully noisy, especially around Belvant. It was a relatively common matter for nobles and their daughters to target the position of the bachelor general¡¯s spouse. Belvant was quite persistent in ignoring them, and between the fear induced by the ¡°Fierce God¡±s excessive strength, his nature of battling day after day, and the nigh perpetual sour look on his face, most of his partners found themselves overwhelmed by his intensity. Most who met him couldn¡¯t pierce through his exterior to understand the man inside, and because everyone who met him withered back, the stories eventually swapped the blame and labeled Belvant a dreadful man. Even so, when he danced with Marietta, his trademark ¡®death glare¡¯ disappeared from his eyes and brow, while the perpetual frown on his lips, the villainous defining feature of ¡°Oltaire¡¯s Fierce God¡±, became a tender smile for that woman. With that smile, he completely transformed into a young sir full of masculine charm. It couldn¡¯t be helped that everyone was talking about how Marietta had looked at Belvant, her gaze spellbound as she sweetly laughed; how Belvant, with a tight hold on her, returned the favor with a smile filled with love. The young ladies who saw Marietta sweetly cuddling up in his arms, struck by the ¡®Marietta Effect¡¯ as it were, felt their fear of Belvant disappear. Their hearts fluttered when the handsome general¡¯s gallant figure entered their view. The young women all at once thought. There¡¯s still time. He can be snatched away. Ah, the dreadfulness of Oltaire¡¯s noble maidens. After that evening party, Belvant¡¯s life grew noisy as noble young ladies all unabashedly appealed to their parents to start a direct offensive against the general, but the amorous beauty, the famed Saphine, was unable to restrain herself and sent out an invitation for a tea party for two. There are various negotiations I wish to make, after all. The invitation had a sinister purpose behind it, but Marietta didn¡¯t read too deeply into the letter and, saying ¡°I wonder if we can become friends?¡±, she happily set out. Saphine had a plan, and expected to go through with it immediately after her greeting, but- Is this princess a natural airhead? Amidst her gorgeous face, framed by curly blonde hair streaked with orange, Saphine¡¯s eyes were rapidly blinking in bewilderment. First with the specialty products of Oltaire, then about a confectionary shop with delicious treats, and then it was some fantastic dressmaker or other, the woman used whatever topic came to mind as she splurged on bonding girl-talk. Moreover, throughout the conversation she openly praised Saphine¡¯s features. ¡°You look just like a heroine from one of my favorite stories! Lady Saphine, your orange hair is absolutely lovely; I haven¡¯t seen anything like your orange-blonde color on anyone from Stellaus. Ah, to be able to meet someone who genuinely possesses this hair color, I¡¯m overcome! It¡¯s as if that illustrated heroine has appeared before me in the flesh¡­¡± ¡°M-my, is that so? You may feel it a bit, if you wish.¡± ¡°How wonderful! Goodness, it¡¯s so glittery, so fluffy! It¡¯s beautiful, and against the light it looks nearly like gold.¡± She¡¯s playing¡­ This kitten is playing with my hair. ¡°It¡¯s the golden maiden, the golden maiden has appeared right here, I¡¯m moved!¡± What, why is it I feel like running away in embarrassment! None of the men I have ever met has brought out such loving lines. Saphine had intended to nonchalantly declare her proclamation of war for Belvant during a casual conversation, but with the fluffy, smiling Marietta carrying on the idle conversation at her own pace, Saphine couldn¡¯t find a good opportunity to interject. On the contrary, this innocent child wanting nothing more than to gently stroke the blonde hair on her head gave Saphine an impatient, itchy feeling. This dreadful child! Up to now, if the initial ¡°wasn¡¯t the dance at yesterday evening¡¯s party wonderful?¡± wasn¡¯t enough of a spike through her chest, before she could compose herself, she was hit by a saccharine ¡°isn¡¯t Belvant so dreamy?¡± immediately afterwards. Saphine felt like sugar was being crammed down her throat. ¡°Say, Lady Marietta, I wonder if you are aware?¡± Deciding her very honor was at stake, the young duchess gave a single cough and arranged her stance before continuing with a serious voice. ¡°General Fargus has a preference for women with abundant chests, you know?¡± ¡°¡­ Oh.¡± Marietta¡¯s eyes went wide, and she cast a look at Saphine¡¯s own abundant set of hills. The young duchess truly had a glamorous body equipped with a destructive pair of cannons. ¡°That, is certainly correct.¡± ¡°So it is.¡± Saphine nodded with a smile, satisfied with the effect of her breasts. Now this is a mood I can use! Beginning with this reference to Marietta¡¯s body, she could take hold of the conversation and point out how she was a better match for Belvant¡¯s preferences, but¡­ ¡°That¡¯s why I¡¯m doing it with my all!¡± ¡°Doing what?¡± ¡°Massaging my breasts!¡± Saphine nearly choked on her tea, but managed to keep silent. ¡°Since I have learned it is a way to make them larger, of course I would enthusiastically massage them.¡± ¡°Cough, does he also, massage your breasts?! The general, I mean?¡± ¡°Yes, every time we meet, he will invariably free up time to give them a massage. There hasn¡¯t been much progress yet, but he says they¡¯ll certainly grow big, so I¡¯m quite hopeful.¡± Her face reddened with a poof as she grasped her chest in both hands. ¡°S-such a thing, seems¡­¡± This, every time they met, he would massage this young looking princess¡¯ chest, she says! Moreover, he uses such a transparent excuse of helping her make them bigger? When she imagined the circumstances in detail, Saphine felt a chill go down her back. It couldn¡¯t be, does general Fargus perhaps, just possibly, have a lolita complex? ¡°Little lady, won¡¯t you let this kind man help you make your chest bigger~?¡± ¡°No! That¡¯s too much!¡± Saphine yelled as she set her teacup to the table with a clack, the scene all to vivid in her imagination. ¡°When it comes to the relationships between adults, I am able to understand most shapes that love takes, but I cannot consider a lolita complex.¡± The nearby maids who had diligently listened through the conversation all nodded in agreement. ¡°Huh? Lady Saphine?¡± ¡°Listen well, Lady Marietta! You are being deceived!¡± ¡°Deceived¡­?¡± ¡°Certainly, I have heard that men say rubbing breasts will make them bigger, but that is not the issue.¡± Saphine lowered her voice so as not to be heard. ¡°Because it seems such a commonplace excuse, Sir Belvant is likely only massaging your chest because he wishes to.¡± ¡°Truly?¡± ¡°In short, I¡¯m saying his words at every meeting with you were a plot to have you participate in lewd activities!¡± ¡°Oh goodness! Is that how it is?¡± Marietta¡¯s face flushed even deeper. ¡°For Sir Belvant to do such¡­ Perhaps my breasts are truly to his taste?¡± ¡°¡­ Pardon?¡± Both hands still on her chest, Marietta¡¯s voice was brimming with happiness. ¡°To think that, while I felt so reserved, every time he was actually touching me with pleasure. Knowing his tastes, I thought he was certainly only acting reluctantly, out of a sense of obligation.¡± Marietta¡¯s unexpected response impacted Saphine like a brick wall, and she couldn¡¯t form a reply. And then, her head drooped, crestfallen. ¡°These lovebirds are too much¡­¡± ¡°Hm?¡± ¡°Lady Marietta, you truly love General Fargus don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°Yes! I love him!¡± ¡°Right, there is no space for me to intrude. Or perhaps I should say, I don¡¯t think I even want to intrude.¡± Saphine¡¯s eyes grew distant. ¡°I wonder if I too can find a man that will make me fall so stupidly in love, regardless of his appearance or family.¡± ¡°There¡¯s nothing to worry about if it¡¯s you, Lady Saphine. You¡¯re extremely beautiful, you look just like the golden maiden, your chest goes vwoom!, and most importantly, you¡¯re a wonderful person.¡± ¡°Vwoom? A-ah, is that so.¡± Where did she get the idea that I was a good person? Saphine wondered as Marietta brought her excited, trembling face closer. ¡°Have you considered anyone from the Oltaire Knights? I think a strong knight will match the golden maiden perfectly. Being embraced tightly against his solid chest, protected by his broad shoulders, after he rescues her from those that aimed for her¡­¡± ¡°Lady Marietta, please calm down. I don¡¯t have much of a connection with the knights.¡± Doing her best to calm Marietta as the princess¡¯ breathing grew ragged, Saphine tilted her head in contemplation. At the evening party, she had only met gaudily dressed young men from high standing families. They were skilled in dance and conversation, but she felt like none of them could be described as having a ¡®solid chest¡¯. That aside, Saphine was quite sure she didn¡¯t see any knights whatsoever. ¡°In that case, I will gladly refer you to the knights. There might be a wonderful person just waiting for you, no?¡± After that, Saphine was dragged away by the princess with a muscle fetish to the practice ground (or, as she secretly called it, the muscle festival), where a fateful encounter with a burly young practicing knight awaited, but that would be a story for another time. And so, Marietta completely extracted the poison (enough to turn her into a wonderful person) from the young duchess Saphine, and before they knew it, the two became close friends. Any noisy individuals who tried to tangle with the two were powerfully kicked aside. [Author Note] And so, Marietta made a reliable friend. It¡¯s a bit of a digression, but the curly haired, ¡®nice-body¡¯ Saphine and the ¡®oresama¡¯ knight who came to know her thanks to Marietta¡¯s intermediation became quite the sweet, erotic couple. The knight started by attacking the tsundere Saphine¡¯s fluffy breasts like a beast. ¡°Sing, my lady. No one will be coming to help you here.¡± ¡°Release me! No, don¡¯t touch me, I¡¯ll never forgive you for this!¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine, because I¡¯ll love you until you fall for me, mind and body.¡± Her green eyes clouded by tears, she scowled at the knight, but his only response was a suspicious laugh as he thought ¡®Ah, she¡¯s so beautiful. I want to make her mine¡®. It went sort of like that! Oresama-ikemen knight, infatuation Chapter 15 An Inferior Insect Chapter 15 An Inferior Insect ¡°My, you have made such a fantastic dress, thank you.¡± When the wedding dress was finished, it was brought straight to Marietta. She quickly tried it on for a final check, but thanks to the seamstress¡¯ considerable skill, there were almost no adjustments necessary. The white dress, undying symbol of a pure maiden, was constructed of flexible fabrics and decorated with lace, favoring Marietta¡¯s simple beauty. ¡°So I will be wearing this, when I marry Sir Belvant.¡± Watching the innocent princess gaze at her reflection with a smile, Sierra sighed. ¡°Concerning your liking of General Fargus¡­¡± She was still embarrassed about her own misunderstanding. ¡°My lady, when did you first find yourself attracted to General Fargus?¡± ¡°Oh, since the first time I saw his portrait, of course! I think that no matter who saw such a dreamy portrait, they would fall hopelessly in love. That¡¯s why I immediately confiscated it from dear father and made it my own, hehe. Here Sierra, I¡¯ll let you see it.¡± Once she changed back into her casual clothes, Marietta rushed off to the luggage and rustled through it until she found her important portrait, turning it around to show Sierra. ¡°Hii-!¡± Sierra felt her breath stop. Is this a ward against evil?! With a perfect depiction of Belvant¡¯s absolute zero glare, the portrait waxed with his fiendish intensity. If she were to call it dreadful, it would no doubt be dreadful enough to effectively scare away demons. At that, Sierra had a recollection. Marietta had always liked her stories, but she had especially enjoyed the ones featuring knights, swordsmen, and warriors. She was primarily infatuated with stories where these characters who found body language distressing would obtain the heroine. She didn¡¯t seem to have much motivation for the stories of beautiful princes, in fact. Come to think of it, Marietta¡¯s interest hadn¡¯t been much of a mystery by the time this strong portrait came along. However, even Marietta¡¯s taste had to have limits. In Sierra¡¯s mind, there was no way a normal woman could fall in love with such an engagement portrait. ¡°Right? Isn¡¯t he dreamy?¡± Sierra¡¯s face cramped and she made no comment in reply, so Marietta embraced the portrait and continued the conversation ecstatically. ¡°But, as I thought, the gentleman himself is so much more fan-tas-tic. Hey Sierra, I wonder if I will be able to meet with Sir Belvant today?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, if Mister Adlan is able to free up some of his time after lunch, someone will come to let you know.¡± ¡°How wonderful, I want to see him soon. And then, when we are married, Sir Belvant and I will be able to spend even more time together, right?¡± ¡°¡­ Please forgive me if I have already said it, but I feel you spend a great deal of time together already.¡± Sierra, who had come to know a new aspect of Belvant after Marietta¡¯s ¡°Breast Nurturing Proposal¡±, wore a weary face. What would happen to Marietta when that sullen lecher of a general obtained her in her entirety, Sierra wondered. Right, that event is already on the horizon. The princess ought to be instructed on nightly matters. Especially since there¡¯s no mistaking that that general is taking advantage of the princess¡¯ ignorance through that ridiculous pretense. Sierra had never even known a man herself, but despite that, the responsibility for this education likely fell squarely upon her shoulders. Thinking this far, Sierra sunk further into her melancholy. ¡°My, Mister Adlan, salutations. Have you perhaps come to pick me up?¡± After lunch, Marietta was relaxing in her room, waiting for her meeting, when Belvant¡¯s right-hand-man-cum-delivery-boy arrived. ¡°Afternoon, Princess Marietta. I¡¯ve finally arrived, but this pair of legs can only move so fast. I hope Belvant¡¯s messenger hasn¡¯t kept you waiting?¡± Adlan asked with a sarcastic laugh, his overly familiar tone completely relaxed. ¡°Come on now, I¡¯m sure the general is waiting for his cute fiance, you know.¡± ¡°Well, Mister Adlan, if you insist.¡± Already dressed in preparation for her long awaited meeting with Belvant, Marietta and her attendant fell in step behind Adlan and made their way to Belvant¡¯s study. However¡­ In the corridor just in front of their destination, they found Belvant and a young lady in a gorgeous dress locked in an embrace, the woman¡¯s slender, graceful arms wrapped around Belvant¡¯s torso. ¡°Huh? Sir Bel¡­ vant¡­¡± ¡°Gaaaah, the hell are you doing, blockhead! Hold up, Marietta, calm down and we¡¯ll figure out the circumstances!¡± Adlan yelled out, ignoring his own advice to keep calm. A localized blizzard was budding around Sierra. And finally, Marietta had her hands pressed to her mouth, at a loss for words. With a glance their way, the young lady floated a wicked smile. Belvant, still locked in the glamourous young, curly chestnut haired woman¡¯s embrace with his back to the three, turned his typical sullen face around. Under Belvant¡¯s unreadable gaze, Marietta¡¯s lips trembled as she turned around and ran back down the corridor. ¡°Princess! Geez, Belvant! Hurry and go after the princess, explain things before this gets any more complicated!¡± ¡°No, providing my lady an explanation is unnecessary.¡± ¡°The heck are you saying Miss Maid, she just ran off crying ya¡¯know!¡± ¡°The princess received the love of all in her surroundings, and so grew up to be an upright and honest lady. If there is something she wishes to say, she is able to clearly assert herself.¡± ¡°Uwaaaaaaah!¡± Her face contorted, Marietta came charging back. An approach run? She needed to add an approach run?? Before the dumbfounded Adlan and seething Sierra, Marietta ran straight for Belvant, ramming herself right into the space between the general and the glamorous young lady. The woman raised a short shriek upon impact. ¡°How violent, what are you doing!¡± Even as she spoke, Marietta was pulling her arms away with all her might, forcefully brushing the lady aside. ¡°Please don¡¯t touch him! This gentleman is my dear husband!¡± Marietta yelled, her arms wrapping Belvant¡¯s torso and squeezing him tight. ¡°And he is mine alone!¡± She sternly scowled at the woman, but unfortunately, she looked more adorable than intimidating. ¡°M-my, but, it is said he is only your fiance?¡± ¡°We will absolutely be married.¡± ¡°Also, your arrangement is a political marriage of convenience, correct? Yes, as I understand it, it was a situation where there were no options besides Sir Belvant.¡± The curly haired young lady lifted her red lips in a smile. ¡°For this to be forced onto such a child, you have my sympathies.¡± ¡°I am no child; I am a young lady with bright future prospects¡­ That¡¯s right, might I ask your age, then?¡± ¡°¡­¡± In the end, it looked like the lady did not want to enter a contest of youth. ¡°In any case, Sir Belvant is mine, so please do not become too overly familiar with him.¡± ¡°I, thought to give you the freedom to love who you wish.¡± ¡°I already have everything I need.¡± Belvant, silent throughout the exchange, suddenly swept Marietta up in his arms and spoke. ¡°And since I am satisfied being with Marietta, there is no problem. Moreover,¡± Belvant turned a tender gaze to the maiden in his arms. ¡°I am not being forced into anything, because I want you from the bottom of my heart.¡± ¡°Sir Belvant¡­¡± Marietta flung her arms around Belvant¡¯s neck and clung to him. ¡°Um, well, since it¡¯s like that, think you could stop meddling with General Fargus? Since I think it¡¯ll end up bringing you an assortment of troubles.¡± ¡°The relationship between these two is the connection between country and country. If a situation arises that causes discord between them, I imagine the king himself would be sure to bring punishment upon the source of that discord.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure he wouldn¡¯t even pay attention to your full name; he¡¯d just hear your family name before censuring your whole household, ya¡¯know?¡± ¡°Without resolving yourself to face such an end, your excessive meddling is an exercise in futility.¡± As the lovey-dovey couple sunk into their own world, Adlan and Sierra stepped forward to put pressure on the glamorous lady. With every comment, her beautiful face warped further until she finally turned about and left. ¡°Lately, some eccentrics have gotten all excited and come over, but there¡¯s no need to worry, since Belvant resolutely turns them down.¡± Adlan quickly tried to smooth things over, but Marietta donned a sullen look. ¡°But, it¡¯s still unpleasant. I don¡¯t want Belvant to be touched by inferior insects. Look, there is an unpleasant stink sticking about.¡± Marietta frowned at the remaining scent of the glamorous lady¡¯s perfume hanging about Belvant¡¯s body. ¡°Is that so? Well then, I should wish to take a bath and change my clothes. Will you join me, Marietta? Refresh yourself?¡± ¡°Huh, um, I-¡° ¡°Yeah? You also had to deal with that woman¡¯s odor, Marietta. You even touched her, as well.¡± ¡°How detestable!¡± ¡°Since it can¡¯t be helped, it seems I¡¯ll need to wash you thoroughly.¡± Saying that much, Belvant stepped into his room with Marietta still in his arms. Hey wait no hey! Don¡¯t attack her! This sullen, lecherous schemer! As a click resounded from the door locking before them, the two left behind shouted in their hearts. [Author Note] Afterwards, Marietta was able to escape taking a bath, but after being hit with the sight of a half-naked Belvant fresh out of the bath, she ended up stuck in embarrassed anguish. Chapter 16 Marietta’s Anger Chapter 16 Marietta¡¯s Anger ¡°Marietta, are you upset?¡± ¡°Naturally! For other women to entangle my Sir Belvant, how could I allow such a thing?¡± Her arm squeezed a bit tighter behind his neck, her words subduing as petal pink lips turned downward. Despite her pout, her voice remained refreshingly pure. With the two of them alone in the room, Marietta leaned softly into Belvant¡¯s arms, a gentle excitement stealing over her. Belvant didn¡¯t think poorly of his small fiance¡¯s newly revealed possessive desires. He himself wished he could avoid all other women for the rest of his life, but more than that, Marietta¡¯s adorable bout of jealousy sparked a warmth in his chest similar to a gulp of strong alcohol. ¡°But that back there was just like a noisy cicada, I think.¡± If he were to compare them to Marietta, other women would be nothing more than insects drawn to her clear flame. Belvant, who made a habit of shying away from women clearly aiming for an influential position as the general¡¯s wife, had thought as much ever since the evening party. ¡°Well, I especially dislike well-bosomed cicadas. Please make sure that doesn¡¯t occur again.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not sure it¡¯s something I¡¯ll have to go out of my way to prevent though.¡± His comment earned Belvant a glare from a set of pale, teary eyes. ¡°Sir Belvant, you are far too negligent! Is it fine if, due to your charm, inferior insects come to push me aside into the position of a mere lover, snatching even the position of being your wife away from me? Please, hold a bit more self awareness. It makes others suspicious, you know, if the country¡¯s general behaves in such a way; can¡¯t you turn away my rivals and keep their breasts off of you?¡± The young lady¡¯s cheeks were puffed in displeasure, but since her anger manifested while hanging from Belvant¡¯s neck, lovingly pressing her cheek into his as though to claim him as her beloved and only husband, it was difficult to seriously consider her as mad as she sounded. Rather, Belvant could only see her as absurdly adorable. Because of her ¡°my husband is the most appealing in the world¡± complex (no, well, Belvant might not be too aware himself, but lately he had turned rather appealing), Marietta was fluttering about frantically in her desire to keep hold of him, and Belvant couldn¡¯t restrain himself at the sweet sight. Leaning over, he interrupted Marietta¡¯s desperate lecturing with a quick lick on the nose. She gave a soft yelp, her eyes going wide in surprise to stare at the rugged face before her own, his normally cold, ice blue eyes shining with tender affection. ¡°I got it, it¡¯s my bad. I apologize, so cheer up.¡± A large hand most familiar with the hilt of a sword stroked Marietta¡¯s blonde hair, gliding down across her tender cheek¡­ ¡°No matter who my next companion is, I¡¯ll immediately knock them down and restrain them with my blade to their throat.¡± ¡­ And said something quite dangerous. ¡°Ah, going that far would be¡­¡± ¡°If it¡¯s not about that much, I won¡¯t be able to drive that sort away. More importantly, are you sure it is fine if we don¡¯t take a bath? You also seem to have a bit of that perfume lingering around you.¡± Belvant belligerently asked, showing the princess in his arms an indulgent smile known only to her, his finger tickling at the tip of her jaw. Marietta let out a slight cough as his expression drew them into their own little world. Nevertheless, no matter how he considered it, it had been his failure that allowed that glamourous woman to approach him. It was his shortcoming to not even lift a finger against her embrace. He could only assume his lack of awareness was a result of how efforts towards him had been falling, at least prior to the evening party. Even so, seeing Marietta¡¯s face just before his own prompted an overwhelming, nigh intolerable desire within him to hold her close, to kiss her and spoil her. The blushing face of the gorgeous maiden in his arms was so precious, he couldn¡¯t help that he wanted to devour her whole. I can say beyond doubt that this woman has taken my heart, huh? Belvant found his nose instinctively drawn down to Marietta¡¯s neck as he took a breath of her fragrance, his sweetheart singing out another soft note of surprise at the tickling sensation. ¡°Um, but, you know, since I don¡¯t have my own change of clothes¡­¡± Marietta, painfully aware of her own blush, fidgeted about in Belvant¡¯s arms. Recently, the looks he directed at her felt unreasonably warm. She couldn¡¯t call it unpleasant, but it planted a distressingly impatient feeling within her chest. ¡°I will patiently wait here in your room, so by all means, please enjoy your bath.¡± If we were to bathe together, I might catch sight of him in the nude! Such an embarrassing thing would just be too much for me! Under Sierra¡¯s tutelage, Marietta had just scratched the surface of bedroom etiquette and at least knew that a couple in bed would do something like embracing in the nude, but just that image was enough to send smoke shooting out of her ears. She was half certain that if she tried to face her Sir Belvant in such a situation, her embarrassment would burn her to a crisp. Incidentally, she had yet to learn the full extent of ¡°embracing¡±. Do your best, young virgin Sierra. The young maid was in fact, at this moment, searching the bookstores of Oltaire for slightly indecent novellas she could use as a textbook. ¡°Hmm, that so?¡± Seeing straight through Marietta¡¯s clear embarrassment, Belvant suddenly felt like teasing her a bit. He considered forcibly disheveling her clothes a bit, but realized in the next moment that he would be flipping the table on his self restraint, and would be all but guaranteed to swoop down on her then and there. Belvant had grown more aware of his own limits; what a capable man. However, thinking that a little flirting would be fine, he decided on a plan and prepared his world-renowned poker face. ¡°In that case, we¡¯ll need to think of another method to get the smell off both of us. Feel free to snack on the confectionary there while you wait.¡± Belvant gave a nonchalant reply as he set Marietta down before starting work on the buttons of his uniform, unfastening them one by one. Marietta bashfully turned her head away from the strangely erotic sight, but her sidelong glance betrayed her desire to watch Belvant remove his clothing. The cute girl¡¯s borderline perverted behavior violently toed the line of acceptable conduct for a lady. Oh my, Sir Belvant, why did you decide to undress here? Sir Belvant is such a stunning soldier, so losing the rest of his clothes might just drop my resistance to nothing, but, I-I, it would be too, too wonderful, No! Too stimulating, ahh, no, this, taking off just his shirt, his dreamy muscles exposed to the world, ohmygoodness how dazzling! Marietta¡¯s eyes were held captive by the exposed, flexed pectoral muscles before her. Belvant casually set his shirt aside with one hand, peeking at Marietta as panic took root in her mind. She¡¯s so embarrassed she¡¯s grown red right to the ears, and yet she diligently watches on. Though somewhat expected, Belvant found Marietta¡¯s reaction almost intolerably amusing. His lips tightened as laughter tickled in his throat, but he steeled his expression and reached a hand towards the clasp of his trousers, at which Marietta snatched several sweets from the table and shot off towards the far corner of the room. ¡°Um, I will be waiting here with these snacks, so please feel free to go over there and enjoy your bath, over there!¡° In a fluster, Marietta began chomping into the sweets until she looked like a squirrel packing its cheeks. Marietta turning away to frantically nibble at her pastries because of him was the final straw, and Belvant at last burst into laughter. ¡°I got it, so calm down. Drink some tea while you wait too, or you might choke, Princess.¡± If Adlan were to see Belvant here, laughing with such a rare smile, his jaw would likely hit the floor. Behind the teary-eyed, pastry-munching Marietta, Belvant turned toward the room¡¯s small attached bathroom. Author Note: Belvant found himself infatuated with the Marietta who tries her hardest to be angry. The grilling won¡¯t stop when she¡¯s happy though. And so, once Belvant rose from the bath, his flirty attack continued. Chapter 17 Obligatory Muscle Festival Chapter 17 Obligatory Muscle Festival While Belvant was taking his bath, Marietta was doing her best. Quivering under her heart¡¯s violent palpitations at remembering Belvant¡¯s sexy, half-naked body, she struggled down a sip of tea and nibbled at the sweets laid across the table. You need to calm down Marietta, you can¡¯t think like that. Even if Sir Belvant is bathing naked in the other room, thinking about the water splashing against his muscles, or the soap smeared across his skin, or, or, just don¡¯t think about it! Even as she frantically fought the sinful thoughts in her head, Marietta kept her back straight and the teacup in her hand poised, firming her ¡°composed princess¡± aura for the moment Belvant returned. ¡°I¡¯ve kept you waiting, Marietta.¡± At the greeting, Marietta turned around with a sweet laugh, capping off her composed princess performance. At least, that was the plan. ¡°No- oh, huh?!¡± Her teacup met its saucer in a violent clink as Marietta shrieked. Despite all her effort cleaning out her impure thoughts, Belvant appearing before her was enough to send her blood shooting to her head and nearly flying out her nose. W-why, why is he only wearing a single towel across his hips?!!! Indeed, right before her eyes was a treasure Marietta wanted to store deep within her heart for the rest of her life, Belvant¡¯s (almost) naked body. With a stature impressive even among the men of Oltaire, it was the sturdy body of a sword wielding soldier. It was plain to see that these muscles were no mere ornamentations, but tools to propel him across the battlefield like a tempest. Even for this body bursting with manly charm, the wet, glistening tawny hair and clear, ice-blue eyes only accented the ensemble. He was a fine looking man who could snatch anyone¡¯s eyes, but at this moment, he struck in full force with that special smile known only to Marietta. Perfect. He had shattered his way right to the heart of Marietta¡¯s strike zone. Right before her was a man transformed into a legendary hero of her dreams. Ohhh, Sir Belvant¡­ Marietta was spellbound, her lips frozen half open between flushed cheeks. So beyond dreamy¡­ As Marietta¡¯s soul threatened to shuffle off this mortal coil, that living, breathing masterpiece, the splendid work blessed by the god of art, came closer. Closer and closer, until it was right before her. ¡°How is it, Marietta? I¡¯ve properly washed, but¡­¡± ¡°¡­ Huh, pardon?¡± ¡°Have I rid myself of the smell you disliked?¡± Looking up, Marietta saw Belvant¡¯s steady face as he placed a hand down and leaned even closer over the table. Oh my goodness, is, is he asking that I check his fragrance? Seeing Belvant¡¯s face as he requested help, she nodded with with a serious look. Marietta was bright red at the unobstructed view of the dreamy muscles before her, but quietly leaned forward for a sniff. Watching as Marietta¡¯s trembling face crept closer, Belvant laughed with a broad smile. ¡°It¡¯s fine not to restrain yourself so much, so come on and check. See, if you don¡¯t get a bit closer, you won¡¯t know for sure right?¡± Belvant¡¯s hand circled around the back of Marietta¡¯s head and tugged her closer. Oh my, what sort of prize is this-? In an instant, Marietta¡¯s face was buried in her beloved Belvant¡¯s chest, and her arms reflexively flung around to cling to him. As her nose, her cheeks, and even her lips met his chest, she raised her swimming eyes to Belvants, and he prompted her on with a nod. She couldn¡¯t escape. It was a prison of muscles. Thinking as much, Marietta meekly leaned into that chest, still warm from the bath, and inhaled, taking in the fragrant, herb-laced scent of soap. ¡°¡­ It, seems to be alright. The stench of perfume has disappeared.¡± It couldn¡¯t be helped that she had to speak between ragged breaths. ¡°It¡¯s just, the soap has a good scent.¡± In truth, she was knocked giddy by the natural aroma lingering around her beloved Belvant¡¯s chest, but there was no way she could simply say that, of course. ¡°Phew, what a good smell¡­¡± Surrounded by a strange sensation that felt equal parts fascinating and suffocating, Marietta sighed. Belvant placed a hand on her shoulder and gently pulled her off his chest. Tracing a finger down her chin, he tilted her head up to meet her eyes before covering her lips with his, the soft kiss echoing through both their hearts. Between the impish smile and unconcealed desire plainly surging within Belvant¡¯s eyes, the beating of Marietta¡¯s heart once again grew to a tempest in her chest. ¡°Marietta, I¡¯ve thought of a good way to get that smell off of you.¡± ¡°Right¡­¡± Marietta¡¯s mind was too dizzy from Belvant¡¯s scent to resist, and she was inexorably drawn into those ice-blue eyes that twinkled more than ever before. ¡°It ought to be enough to just cover you with my own scent.¡± ¡°Ah¡­ Sir Belvant¡¯s scent, on myself?¡± In a moment, Marietta was squeezed once more against Belvant¡¯s chest. ¡°Ah, wha-, oh-¡° ¡°If we stay like this, the scent of the soap will rub off on you too, I think.¡± In a moment, that mostly nude form pressed itself against Marietta¡¯s body. Seen from the side, one might mistakenly see a pervert assaulting a young maiden. However, Marietta, drawn by an arm into those lovely muscles¡­ And more, to her lovable fiance, smiled blissfully as she entrusted her body to Belvant. ¡°Yes, for Sir Belvant¡¯s wonderful scent to cling to me as well, how lovely¡­¡± And so, despite intending to merely tease her. Despite only wanting to poke fun at her until she blushed¡­ ¡°Ehehe, how warm.¡± How is it she can look so blissful when she¡¯s only clinging to my chest? Does she¡­ Does she love me that much? To be attracted to this thing everyone else calls a terrifying demon¡­ ¡­ This is bad! She¡¯s way more c-cute¡­ than I could expect! As Belvant kept track of the sugary thought within his mind, a warmth spread through his body. My resistance won¡¯t hold! Holding back so much he felt like his mind would shatter, he managed to pull his arms away with only the tight hug, rustling Marietta¡¯s hair before his hand affectionately slid along her cheek. ¡°Seriously, how can you be so adorable!¡± The strength behind his hands kept her close against that burly chest even so. It was a muscle festival that could content even this princess¡¯ heart. ¡°I love this, Sir Belvant¡­ If I could hug you like this forever¡­¡± The happy atmosphere hit its limit, and Marietta felt herself swept up before she was laid across the wide sofa, Belvant¡¯s head settled in between the two swellings upon her chest. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s, Sir Belvant-¡° ¡°Ah, Marietta, you are far too cute! Therefore, to make sure my scent properly reaches your entire body, I¡¯ll ascertain it myself.¡± Nicely stumped by that disconnected ¡°therefore¡±, Marietta bore Belvant¡¯s ferocious, nigh beastly gaze. Tugging down the bosom of her dress, the general began his assault on those soft, white hills. ¡°Ah, don¡¯t be, so unreasonable¡­¡± Marietta ran her thin fingers through Belvant¡¯s slightly damp tawny hair, embracing his head. Belvant tempestuously rubbed at the two puffs with both hands, before bringing his mouth close and gulping in the small fruits. As his tongue entangled, kissed, and rolled about, as his teeth delicately nibbled, and impatient feeling boiled up in Marieta, and her legs unconsciously twitched, her knees rubbing together. Belvant guided a free hand to the hem of her dress, a clear rustling resounding as he traced up her leg. ¡°Ahh, that¡­¡± ¡°Marietta¡­¡± With a hand caressing just below her dress, Mareitta¡¯s embarrassment peaked. Belvant leaned up to tease the maiden¡¯s ear with his tongue, where his deep, sensual voice would echo through her entire being. ¡°I want to make you completely mine¡­¡± ¡°I am¡­ already, Sir Belvant¡¯s though.¡± ¡°But not yet completely.¡± Belvant blocked her lips with his own, his tongue ravaging her mouth, tracing across her lips and teeth until faint drops of saliva threatened to leak down her face. At the same time, the general¡¯s hand kept at it¡¯s assault, conquering her thighs and finally reaching to brush a fingertip against her underwear. ¡°Mmm-¡° Marietta let out a muffled voice, touched in a place even she was rather unfamiliar with and discovering it shamefully sensitive. Belvant paid it no mind, trailing a fingernail across the cloth trapped between her thighs to stimulate her further. ¡°Mm, mmm-¡° Each touch was the same as the first, sending an ache through her until the feeling was unbearable, until tears crowded her eyes as she worried about. It¡¯s no good, hopeless, I can¡¯t stop, damn it someone get in here and hit me! A few righteous thoughts called from the corner of his mind, but it was already too late. Belvant had transformed into a rampaging muscle train, and his hand couldn¡¯t be stopped; not between the slight dampening of cloth under his finger, the bit of change in the sound of the rustling, or Marietta¡¯s moans. ¡°Ahhhhn-!¡± With a loud cry, Marietta¡¯s body tensed and warped like a bow, and then just as suddenly her strength left her hand she dropped back, limp. Under Belvant¡¯s tampering fingers, she had finally reached her peak. How enrapturing¡­ She¡¯s quite sensitive. Under attack from Marietta¡¯s faint blush and rough breathing, a certain portion of Belvant¡¯s anatomy was pressed into showing its charm. Hurriedly calling back his steel force of will in this interim, Belvant properly adjusted the ends of Marietta¡¯s dress until she was once more presentable. With that, he dropped one more kiss on those tempting, half parted lips before he spoke. ¡°Rest up a bit. I¡¯m going to take a shower.¡± As an adult man, Belvant would require a veritable waterfall of cold water to regain his composure. Chapter 18 Sierra Struggles Chapter 18 Sierra Struggles After that, Belvant took a horrendously cold shower until his mind and body (and nethers) were properly cooled off. Returning from the bathroom once more, he found Marietta still sprawled across the sofa and gently lifted her in his arms. ¡°Oh¡­ Sir Belvant.¡± Cloudy, blue eyes gazed at him. A tongue captivatingly peeked between moist lips. He had only just chilled himself to the bone, and yet before he could so much as breathe, Belvant¡¯s temperature was rocketing up. After all, muscles generate a lot of heat. Actually, no, that probably didn¡¯t have much to do with the current situation, but still. ¡°She¡¯s just a girl, a girl!¡± I kept thinking, and yet this person¡¯s sexual appeal recently is bewildering¡­ Is it, maybe, my fault? Belvant mobilized his rationality as he sat down on the sofa, placing Marietta on his lap. Marietta raised her eyes to his troubled face as he quietly combed through her smooth, golden hair. ¡°You alright? I¡¯m sorry, I went too far.¡± ¡°That¡­¡± Having the one she loved so close, looking at her with such tender eyes as he stroked her hair, Marietta gave a soft blush as she fidgeted about. ¡°I, when conferred any thing or act by Sir Belvant, will be happy no matter what it is. However, the way my mind went white just earlier was quite odd. I myself don¡¯t quite understand what happened.¡± Belvant¡¯s affectionate eyes sparked. What is this adorable young rabbit! Any thing or act, is it? You can say that even despite that ridiculous misconduct earlier? Is her wariness towards men just that lacking? Or is it¡­ that she likes me so much that she¡¯ll pardon anything? Ah, I want to pounce right on this tender, defenseless body; I want to taste her all over and gobble her up.¡± Belvant¡¯s inner beast of prey growled, but somehow or another his reason kept it in check. ¡°Marietta, how much do you know of the acts of married couples?¡± Belvant asked, since it seemed as though she didn¡¯t understand the small bud of an orgasm she experienced before. ¡°Married couples?¡± Her head tilted to the side, curiosity written across her face. ¡°Or, maybe, if I called them bedroom matters¡­¡± Thereupon, Marietta replaced her curious look with an embarrassed one. ¡°That¡­ I am sorry, but despite our approaching marriage, I have not yet properly understood bedroom matters. From Sierra, I¡¯ve learned that it consists of, in one bed, a couple disrobing, and, well, laying together, however¡­ My insufficient study is truly inexcusable.¡± No, hey, is that really the extent of it all?! So I just groped and coaxed an orgasm out of a clueless young lady! How am I not a terrible, perverted old man? Despite his reflections, Belvant displayed the composure of an adult man and began instructing Marietta. ¡°Don¡¯t apologize, leading one¡¯s wife is also a husband¡¯s role, right? Ah, Marietta, I suppose first on the discussion of bedroom matters is the thing from earlier. For women, that reaction is pretty generally expected, so you don¡¯t have to worry about when your ¡®mind went white¡¯. Rather, for these matters, it¡¯s the proper outcome, so we could maybe call you a rare talent, or, maybe natural disposition is the better term. Regardless what you call it, think of it as a happy thing.¡± Hearing Belvant¡¯s explanation, Marietta¡¯s somewhat anxious expression lit right up. ¡°Well, is that so! Wonderful, I¡¯m truly relieved. You are quite knowledgeable, Sir Belvant. Once more, you¡¯ve provided me your consultation to assuage my worries. I humbly thank you for granting this young lady your guidance.¡± ¡°What a reliable husband¡± the reverence in Marietta¡¯s sparkling gaze seem to say. Belvant seriously nodded with an innocent look. Truly relieved¡­ isn¡¯t what you should be feeling, little rabbit; the one in front of you can¡¯t help but want to gobble you up like a beast. Ignorant of Belvant¡¯s internal discord, the little rabbit innocently snuggled up to him, only compounding his worries. ¡°Sir Belvant has also started providing me information on bedroom matters, you know? I wonder how Sir Husband can be so reliable¡­¡± Sierra, combing Marietta¡¯s damp, freshly washed hair from behind, choked. ¡°Wh-, b-bedroom¡­?¡± ¡°Right. With the various things Sir Belvant properly understands, he can provide instruction in anything. However, I don¡¯t think I should merely impose upon his benevolence. Such a splendid husband deserves an appropriate wife, and¡­ Goodness, I¡¯m going to be his wife, right? Ehe, that¡¯s right, in order to become an appropriate wife, I have no choice but reliable study.¡± Her shy eyes raised to the mirror before her to reveal Sierra¡¯s stiff face. ¡°And so, were you able to find good study materials?¡± ¡°Y-yes, I was able to find one copy of a book I think will be easy to understand. I will prepare it presently.¡± Sierra retrieved the adult romance novella (The Dazzling Romance of the Body Building Knight and the Young Lady) she had obtained. From her somewhat red face, it was apparent that she had already finished reading this¡­ shall we say, M rated novella. For Sierra, who had never known a man in most senses, it was a bit too stimulating. ¡°Here it is, my lady. However, as it seems this book does not cover all bedroom matters, I plan to secure more books for study.¡± ¡°Thank you again, Sierra. I can always rely on you.¡± Now then, about Princess Marietta¡¯s reliable maid Sierra. At twenty one years of age, she was three years Marietta¡¯s senior, and best described as a cool beauty. Besides her platinum blonde, silky hair and blue eyes, she also possessed a sharp wit and a polished sword arm, making her a truly accomplished woman. Her head turned quickly, as did her heart. However, whether it was because she was too good to be true, or because the eyes she gave men were quite severe, she had spent all her years a virgin. That said, such a thing was no hindrance for her work as a maid. Until now. Someone like me is supposed to teach bedroom etiquette! As it is, I wonder if it would be good to let the husband take over, the so called ¡°passing the buck¡±¡­ No, I cannot run away using the Princess¡¯ request to study. If I am not sincerely reliable¡­ Her worries worried away at her. For a situation like this, it would be great if I could pick out a suitable man at my own discretion and just do it once in advance! No, I don¡¯t think that¡¯d be too great at all. You should really put more value in yourself. At any rate, the earnest attendant brooded to that extent. ¡°Haa¡­¡± After finishing their usual romance novel reading, Marietta¡¯s breath had grown ragged, saying ¡°what do I do, the bedroom, somehow, eep!¡±, and Sierra had to calm her down with a reprimand that ¡°you ought not become so vehement from the onset; please calm down¡±. After escorting the red faced princess to her date proper, Sierra reflexively let out a sigh. ¡°Miss Maid, what¡¯s wrong? Got some troubles?¡± Adlan intended to greet her as usual, but when he saw Sierra¡¯s unusual state, he worried. ¡°Sir Adlan¡­ No, I am fine.¡± Adlan, Belvant¡¯s ever aloof advisor, looked rather out of character as his eyebrows bunched together. ¡°You don¡¯t look all that fine though. You seem like the sort, Miss Maid, to bottle everything up and work through things alone.¡± ¡°Oh?¡± ¡°What¡¯s more, here and now after coming to Oltaire, you¡¯ve had no chance to replace those few people you are able to consult with, right?¡± ¡°¡­ Yes, I suppose you could say as much.¡± That was just the case. She had reached this point precisely because she had no one to turn to with her concerns. ¡°If you¡¯re alright with me, I¡¯m willing to listen anytime. If it¡¯s concerning those two handfuls, it¡¯s especially important that you get someone to listen in, since your decisions alone might topple the country, Miss Maid.¡± ¡°Topple the country, you say?¡± At Sierra¡¯s alarmed expression, Adlan shrugged and took up a grin. ¡°Sorry, I guess that¡¯s too menacing a way to say it? But whether those two get along or not is an international issue, right? Therefore, everyone from me to the royal family is concerned.¡± ¡°Well, that¡¯s certainly the case.¡± ¡°Since we¡¯ve reached this point anyways, come along to my room.¡± Like Belvant, Adlan had a room prepared in the royal castle whenever his work necessitated an overnight stay, as his was a post that was obliged to work overtime during emergencies. Since it seemed it would have been a hassle to talk in the corridor, he beckoned Sierra inside for the sake of his work. There was, without doubt, nothing to feel guilty about in this situation. When compared to Adlan, Sierra was approximately ten years his junior, and seemed little more than a charming girl. Even with her natural skill and strength, Adlan, whose sword arm was not to be trifled with, would likely only think ¡°this child¡¯s been working hard, huh?¡± This was the margin of seniority. That perhaps slightly favored girl was worried right before his eyes. Lacking her usual composure, her struggling figure wondering what to do was quite fresh, and as Adlan smiled, he might have thought that the gap between this and her typical figure was quite cute. ¡°As I thought, speaking with Sir Adlan¡­ With men¡­ However, without men, I wonder¡­¡± Worrying, worrying, how adorable. It might be a difficult trouble to reveal to a man, huh? Since Miss Maid does her best every day, I¡¯d like to do something to settle her issue. Adlan took a seat to begin their interview, and Sierra sat on the neighboring sofa, her body turned towards him. The 45 degree angle, he had found, made it easier for people to speak. ¡°Even just saying things out loud, you¡¯ll be able to organize your thoughts, and you might even start onto a clue, you know?¡± ¡°Is that how it is?¡± ¡°Trust me when I say that, upon my honor, nothing I hear will leave this room.¡± Sierra brooded for a while longer, but since she had felt for some time that Adlan was someone she could trust, she resolutely opened her mouth. ¡°I, wish to lose my virginity.¡± ¡°¡­ Huh?¡± ¡°That is, I wish for that experience, the experience between a man and a woman. This attendant must absolutely take up this experience and report it to her lady!¡± ¡°¡­¡± As expected by the troubles that exceeded his expectations, Adlan sat speechless, pinned under those unwavering blue eyes. ¡°Please, do it with me!¡± Chapter 19 Won’t You Do It? Chapter 19 Won¡¯t You Do It? ¡°Huh?! You mean doing it, doing it?! Ah-¡° Adlan blurted out in his confusion, but closed his mouth in haste. What are you saying to a maiden, calm down, me. Though, maybe that¡¯s something I should be telling this kid. Adlan had not been ceremonially promoted alongside Belvant. With his considerable sword skill, intelligence, and most of all his ability to wrap anyone up in his pace and lead them by the nose, it was this man that connected the army together and brought it all under Belvant¡¯s control, and he was rightly known as a ¡°capable man¡±. As for his outward appearance, his fluffy, bright brown hair nearly shone like gold, his features were well balanced, and his slightly drooping eyes were a vibrant green and sparkled with bold determination and friendly warmth. Most women would probably categorize him as the attractive, ¡°young man next door¡± type. With his natural charm dispelling their wariness, many a lady found their heart unexpectedly aflutter for the man. And now, this masterful schemer of a lady-killer found himself completely thrown for a loop by this silver kitten-like junior. Sitting closer to allow her to speak easier had turned into a blunder, as the short distance allowed the woman¡¯s soft fragrance, tempered by a light soap, to easily reach Adlan. At his heart¡¯s sudden throb, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath before speaking. ¡°Hold up. Let¡¯s see, there¡¯s probably some circumstances involved, right? Yep, I wonder if you could explain that first, alright?¡± Adlan raised his hands, gesturing against Sierra¡¯s approaching, forceful, ¡®please do it¡¯ eyes to stop as he requested an explanation. ¡°Miss Maid, wait, calm down, really now, stop-¡° I¡¯m a man! So, if your good scent keeps tickling my nose like this, I might actually die! ¡°Just Sierra, please. If I explain and consent, would you find it agreeable to do it with me?¡± Persisting, Sierra clasped her hands together as she further cornered the evasive Adlan. ¡°Please, please consider it very well!¡± This crisis was, perhaps, the greatest in his life. Little Sierra was simply too dazzling for sullied adults. Overwhelmed, Adlan worked his mind in overtime to try and overcome his disadvantageous position. Listening to Sierra¡¯s explanation, as a discerning adult man, Adlan couldn¡¯t simply nod his head. ¡°Sierra, putting yourself through that just for the sake of your work is no good, you know. It¡¯s the sort of thing you do with a lover.¡± ¡°I have nothing like a lover.¡± ¡°Not even back in the Stellaus Kingdom?¡± ¡°Not even there.¡± Hearing her state it so plainly brought Adlan a small feeling of relief, for some reason. ¡°If it¡¯s like that, then even if she¡¯s an important person you need to keep an eye on, Marietta¡¯s also an adult, right? Sierra, aren¡¯t you¡­¡± Pampering her too much? Adlan very nearly asked before he stopped. How would the diligent Sierra, who stood behind Marietta to protect her day in and day out no matter how the political marriage turned out, not be wounded by such cruel words? She was only a girl of twenty-one years grasping about in a country where she barely knew her right from her left, and yet she was desperately fighting for the happiness of her lady. Adlan, thinking of the strenuous effort she had put forth ever since arriving in this country, felt a pang in his chest for Sierra. Trying to protect her lady, she even stared down that villainous-faced Belvant many times over, huh. Even when he could have brushed her aside with a single hand. Adlan placed a hand atop Sierra¡¯s silvery hair, gently brushing it as though he were consoling a child. ¡°Sierra, I think you should consider your own happiness a bit more, you know?¡± ¡°My own happiness, you say?¡± ¡°And don¡¯t say anything like ¡®my lady¡¯s happiness is my own¡¯, you hear? That same lady might be an airhead, but she¡¯s still intelligent; if you said something like that, she¡¯d be so sad¡­ she wouldn¡¯t know what to do, you know.¡± Whatever she did for Sierra in response was likely to turn into quite the mess for everyone involved. It was scary just thinking about it, honestly. ¡°But¡­ I still wish to return to my lady¡¯s side and help her with her coming marriage. Beyond that, I have not thought of my own life at all. Sir Adlan,¡± Beside him, Sierra stiffly fixed her eyes upon Adlan. ¡°It seems I am unable to obtain your understanding, how disappointing. However, I sincerely thank you for listening to my difficulties.¡± ¡°Huh? It doesn¡¯t seem like you understand either, but what are you going to do now?¡± ¡°Given that there is no other method, I will choose another suitable-¡° ¡°Nope! Absolutely not! That method is right out!¡± When he thought of the pretty Sierra¡¯s proposal¡­ Adlan could only picture a shuffling crowd of men surrounding her, and grew flustered. ¡°I wonder if Sir Andrew would make a good first choice?¡± ¡°You already have your eye on someone?!¡± ¡°We have been practicing our martial arts together recently. He¡¯s such a kind gentleman, so I¡¯m sure if I made a request-¡° ¡°No way! Even if he isn¡¯t a complete meathead, he¡¯s still more than halfway there, so if you ever even hinted at letting him have his way with you, he¡¯d pin you down for three days and nights, and he wouldn¡¯t even let you go if you cried, and after it all your lower back would be so weak you wouldn¡¯t be able to work well and it would inconvenience your lady, so that guy is absolutely no good! Or rather, you two were sparing? That guy works fast¡­¡± Adlan, for some reason, was quite desperate. ¡°I also received a pleasant gift from the noble Sir Franz.¡± ¡°That¡¯s the definition of a blatant lure! Getting pulled in and caught is definitely no good! Being toyed with by some flighty, well-off greenhorn until you get pregnant will just throw your entire life into shambles you know!¡± ¡°¡­ In that case, is a woman like me to remain a maiden her entire life?¡± ¡°That¡¯s not what I¡¯m saying! In the first place, how can you just make someone your lover?!¡± Sierra cast her gaze to the floor. The downhearted maid looked so precious that Adlan had to struggle not to sit her in his lap and console her. ¡°Well then, I am unsuitable. In order to assure my lady¡¯s bridal night is a success, she needs instruction before the wedding ceremony, and yet I am unable to provide it.¡± ¡°Well sure, it seems it¡¯ll be necessary to drill some straightforward information into that virgin Belvant so he doesn¡¯t end up hurting the princess, but¡­¡± At his statement, Adlan saw Sierra shift her gaze to glare about the room. This is bad, I have no idea what this kid will do if I take my eyes off of her! She is unmistakably coming up with some dangerous idea right now! ¡°I got it!¡± Adlan shouted, and in the next moment he had flung both his arms around Sierra. ¡°Let¡¯s just have me become your lover!¡± Adlan, without restraint, tightly embraced Sierra¡¯s firm body. Though she had tempered her body diligently, Sierra found herself snugly settled within Adlan¡¯s arms like a slender girl. As it was, his whole body was stuck fast to hers, his face buried in her shoulder. It was to the point where Sierra was completely wrapped up in a man¡¯s body. Frankly, Adlan expected Sierra, with her inexperience with men, to be nervous. Even though she spoke boldly, a virgin woman being embraced by a man who isn¡¯t her lover ought to be considerably unpleasant. With this, he might have bought a bit more time to plan. As per Adlan¡¯s expectations, Sierra¡¯s body went stiff at the abrupt embrace. Alright! The non-verbal denial left an unpleasant prickling in his chest, but Adlan would get another surprise shortly. ¡­ What¡¯s this? Suddenly, all the tension drained from Sierra¡¯s body. Fearing his hug may have pushed her too far in an inappropriate direction, Adlan looked down into Sierra¡¯s face to see her cheeks had been dyed faintly pink. ¡°¡­ I¡¯m relieved¡­¡± Sierra murmured. ¡°Huh?¡± ¡°I, since I thought Sir Adlan is the best¡­ Rather than any other gentlemen, I wanted Sir Adlan to accept most of all.¡± Completely at ease, she entrusted her body to him, her soft warmth spreading through his core. It might not yet be love. However, having come to Oltaire knowing none besides Princess Marietta, Sierra had come to trust this man Adlan who was always watching over her. Seeing his soft smile, receiving his gentle words, Sierra felt the tension slide out of her shoulders. As such, when she considered that someone would have to take her maidenhood, she secretly hoped that that someone would be Adlan. ¡°I¡¯m glad¡­¡± With cloudy blue eyes, Sierra gazed at Adlan with a sweet smile. ¡°It¡¯s good that it is Sir Adlan. Please, consider me favorably from now on.¡± Sierra¡¯s face gently pressed into Adlan¡¯s chest, and, timidly, her slender, white arms encircled his back. ¡°!¡­ Ahem-¡° Looking over Sierra, Adlan¡¯s face flushed red straight to his ears in an instant. ¡°¡­ I give, I¡¯ve been completely defeated.¡± And that was the very moment where Adlan, the thirty year old second in command of the army and superior article of a man, perfectly fell for the silver haired attendant from Stellaus. Author Note: He falls~, the schemer Adlan was shot down! It¡¯s the airheaded maid Sierra¡¯s complete victory. Next time, as it becomes Adlan¡¯s turn to get serious, will the sweet seme explode?! Stay tuned! (lol) Chapter 20 Adlan Gets Serious! Chapter 20 Adlan Gets Serious! ¡°Sierra, when I get serious, I won¡¯t be able to stop, you know?¡± Adlan sweetly whispered just beside Sierra¡¯s ear. Atop the sofa placed in Adlan¡¯s private room in the palace, Sierra was snugly settled into his arms. At the feeling of his hot breath along the top of her neck, the inexperienced woman found herself strangely tense. However, with that gentle hand stroking her hair, all her strength left her, and knowing she absolutely couldn¡¯t escape, the arms circling Adlan¡¯s back tightened. Then, when his breath blew across her ear, and when his teeth softly nibbled at her earlobe, she grew tense once more, only to relax completely at his mercy when he stroked her hair again. Just what is it, this adorable thing! For all her pride, this timid silver kitten¡¯s wariness dissolved as she snuggled up to Adlan, her excessive charm throwing his heart into agony. It¡¯s fine if I just love her to my heart¡¯s content¡­ Right? ¡°¡­ Sir Adlan?¡± A pair of round, blue eyes tilted back to check the frozen Adlan. Reflected in those cloudy eyes was the desire they caused in one man. This person, is already mine. This little kitten, does she even realize she¡¯s been caught? With how I am, I truly won¡¯t let my desired one escape, you know. ¡°Such a diligent girl, Sierra. Actually, could you let me go for a moment? It¡¯s alright, I won¡¯t go back on my word. I¡¯ll be sure to teach you everything you want to know, with that body of yours¡­ Alright?¡± With a radiant smile, Adlan placed a single kiss on Sierra¡¯s forehead as he unwrapped her arms. ¡°Sir Adlan, um, this is¡­?¡± ¡°You see, this method makes kissing easy. Relationships between men and women begin and end with the kiss, you know? We want to make sure you aren¡¯t stumped by any of the lady¡¯s questions, so I¡¯m going to instruct you in everything in detail. It¡¯ll be easy; just follow along with my instructions, alright?¡± ¡°All¡­ Right?¡± Situated on Adlan¡¯s knee like a child, Sierra tilted her head as she replied. Unmindful of her bewilderment, Adlan began sprinkling kisses down her face, the resounding smooches culminating in a swift movement that pressed his lips to hers. ¡°So is this your first kiss?¡± Her face dyed, having caught the affectionate kiss head on, Sierra replied. ¡°Excluding the members of my family, that was my first.¡± ¡°Is that right. Well, I¡¯ll have to instruct you from the beginning on the lover¡¯s kiss then.¡± With that, Adlan once more pressed his lips affectionately to hers, his tongue tickling along her lips, tenderly caressing. ¡°Go ahead and try the same, Sierra.¡± ¡°Right.¡± With a loose nod, Sierra closed her eyes and leaned into Adlan for another kiss, tracing her tongue along his lips in a similar movement. As her trail grew more familiar, Adlan parted his lips and quickly drew in her tongue, entwining it with his own. From there, Adlan raided the inside of her mouth with his own tongue, tenderly deepening the kiss so as not to frighten her. ¡°Yup, great. Make sure to properly breath through your nose, okay? Right, let¡¯s try one more time.¡± Adlan kept kissing her, over and over again, occasionally allowing small breaks, his advice punctuated with bright smiles. ¡°You¡¯re so adorable, Sierra. Try entangling your tongue a bit more, drawing it in, like.¡± At first, Sierra had thought of the act first and foremost as a type of study or training, but gradually her head grew hazy, and with her eyes swimming, she entrusted her body to Adlan¡¯s supporting arms. ¡°Sir Adlan, I, I¡¯m getting a somewhat strange feeling.¡± Sierra¡¯s bright red, plump lips appealed to Adlan, her face flushed. Seeing her dimmed, amorous eyes, Adlan felt an impatient feeling well up within his lower half, but he had already made sure to dispel any intention of taking Sierra¡¯s first time here. ¡°That¡¯s fine. Now, we¡¯ve pretty much finished up with the deep kiss, which is sort of like the hors d¡¯oeuvres of relationships. Unfortunately, I really need to get back to my work, so I don¡¯t have time to instruct you through to the end. I didn¡¯t want to rush through your first time during my break anyways, right?¡± Adlan nestled his face against her nape, drawing in her sweet scent as he placed a kiss just below her ear. ¡°I¡¯ll invite you to my home this evening. We¡¯ll have dinner, and then we can pass the night together, just like a wedding night. Sound good?¡± After that, Adlan swung through nearly everywhere. Back at his residence, he declared ¡°I¡¯ve invited my sweetheart over for dinner, and furthermore, she¡¯ll be staying the night!¡± Moreover, since he all but said ¡°I intend for us to be married¡±, the servants were all yelling in joy and excitement. For Belvant, he left instructions that ¡°since I¡¯m having Sierra visit for an overnight stay, you¡¯ll need to double up on work¡±. Then, he informed Marietta ¡°I am intending to marry Sierra, so I will need to borrow her through tomorrow afternoon¡±. The news caught the princess completely by surprise, and Adlan and Sierra had to share one more kiss to ¡°make doubly sure¡± for her. Of course, he quickly finished up his work for the day and distributed tomorrow¡¯s work about so he could thoroughly indulge in Sierra later. Adlan even arranged preparations for the event he was kept even later than expected. And so, through his hard work, everyone quickly learned Sierra and Adlan were an item. ¡°¡­ How did it become like this?¡± Unlike the women around her, Sierra wore a dazed, distant expression. She had intended to ask Adlan for a relationship., and yet, how was her betrothal suddenly established? Why did she receive a message of congratulations from the crown family? Sierra was a noble lady of Stellaus. Assigned to serve under Marietta as an attendant, she had resolved herself to remain unmarried her whole life long before they had arrived in Oltaire. But then, why had she just watched a horse speed away for her parent¡¯s home in Stellaus with the message ¡°the engagement to Adlan, third son of Count Kareks, has been decided¡±? ¡°Congratulations, Sierra! Ah, how wonderful, you¡¯ve been tied together with Sir Adlan! I didn¡¯t even notice!¡± Marietta cried out overcome with emotion, their arms linked as she seemed to cry out ¡°look at this true romance!¡± Faced with the princess¡¯ enthusiasm, Sierra could only respond as though half her soul had already passed on. ¡°No, well, until just some time ago I also didn¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s like a secret love, right! For such a surreptitious affection to take root, how, how romantic!¡± ¡°Well, my intention¡­¡± ¡°Sir Adlan is quite reliable, a fantastic article of a man. However, ehehe, he¡¯s still no match for Sir Belvant. Though, I do suppose Sir Adlan has some considerable muscles. In that regard, I can completely understand how you feel Sierra, but, goodness, saying it aloud is actually quite embarrassing!¡± ¡°My, um, muscle observation is as yet¡­¡± ¡°Moreover, you¡¯re even visiting Sir Adlan¡¯s home this evening, right? That¡¯s good; you nearly haven¡¯t taken a break at all while you¡¯ve been working so hard for me, so you should go and pursue your own love once in a while. And, goodness, how in the world did you get a date so soon?¡± ¡°With how it is, it¡¯s not yet¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s make you an extraordinary beauty for this evening so you can capture Adlan completely, Sierra! I even have some perfume ready that¡¯s said to drive the gentlemen to fascination. Now, everyone, please make sure to polish Sierra until she shines!¡± At Marietta¡¯s sonorous voice, the various attendants and maids nearby locked on to Sierra and began their assault. ¡°I¡¯ve always wanted to prepare Lady Sierra!¡± ¡°Now, this platinum blonde is going to absolutely sparkle.¡± ¡°Ehehe~, we get to polish this soft, fair skin to our heart¡¯s content~¡± ¡°Doesn¡¯t this dress bring out the blue in her eyes wonderfully?¡± ¡°Please wait, everyone, calm down, no, if you wait just a moment, eep!¡± Dragged along and packed into that pitiful bathroom, Sierra was played with like a life size doll to a festival of enthusiasm. Author Note: Adlan, as a scheming adult, has completely encircled his opponent in love, and won¡¯t let her escape. In that situation, he didn¡¯t push her down immediately, but cut off Kitten-chan¡¯s retreat to receive her later. Next time, Marietta¡¯s delectable attendant and maid Sierra travels to the den of the wolf¡­ Will she be able to safely ascend the stairway to adulthood?! Chapter 21 For the First Night Chapter 21 For the First Night Sierra had a great deal of experience in polishing up Marietta, but this time she found herself on the polished side. As a noble lady however, she was familiar enough with the notion of having another assist her in preparing that she was not significantly distressed. Dragged into the bathroom, her whole body was washed and massaged with perfumed oils, her hair was combed until it glittered in the light, and with it all her beauty freely burst forth, Sierra shining at the peak of radiance. Between the typically loose platinum blonde hair pulled half up and styled, and the subdued blue dress from Stellaus that accented her graceful curves, the woman had become an extraordinarily beautiful lady. ¡°My, how lovely! How fantastically beautiful, I might actually mistake you for a heroine straight from a story! With how attractive Sir Adlan is, I just know you shall make a gorgeous couple, just like the ones in the novels.¡± ¡°Thank you very much, my lady. And everyone else as well, thank you for this favor.¡± And moreover, I¡¯m terribly sorry, but this isn¡¯t the romance you seem to consider it. I merely lacked experience, and so asked Sir Adlan if¡­ Marietta was bouncing in excitement, happier than Sierra had ever expected, while the various maids and attendants nodded in satisfaction at their work. Swept up in the jubilant mood, yet feeling somewhat guilty for deceiving everyone, Sierra could only steel her complex emotions and say her thanks. As the sound of Sierra¡¯s approaching carriage reached his ears, Adlan stepped out to greet her, his heart hammering. Considering how he had so clearly forced things along, he had spent quite a while anxious over whether she would actually come. The carriage door swung open, and Adlan had only a moment to present his hand to escort Sierra down before he was rooted to the spot, still as a marble statue the instant his eyes beheld the figure before him. The silver woman with rosy cheeks, this exceeding beauty, nearly froze him solid. ¡°Sierra¡­ This evening finds you beyond beautiful. I could only nod in belief if any were to claim you the shining goddess of the moon herself. Say, would it be alright to think this beauty is for my sake?¡± With the taste of these few sugary lines, Adlan attempted to nimbly conquer his stasis, but Sierra¡¯s glamour had truly shaken him straight to his heart. ¡°My, Sir Adlan¡­¡± Sierra softly laid her hand in his, and a bashful smile stole across her face when his lips brushed against her fingers. ¡°Such minor deceptions will amount to nothing. After all, there are a great many things I wish to ask you, Sir Adlan.¡± The man was truly an expert in handling women. Ignorant of his innermost thoughts, Sierra could only think that she would need to be doubly careful of Sir Adlan¡¯s deceptive behavior. ¡°I hope that the lady understands the significance of wanting to know more of me. Well, warm welcomes.¡± ¡°Evading the topic will prove equally futile.¡± ¡°I am completely serious thanks to you, Sierra. Didn¡¯t you know? If you make such a fascinating sight, there isn¡¯t a single man who could keep hold of their hearts after a look. Since I¡¯m a capable adult, I won¡¯t be driven by feelings and stomp forward on a half-baked plan, especially not when you¡¯ve utterly taken hold of me and stirred my sense of responsibility.¡± Adlan remained gentlemanly to the end, but Sierra spotted deep within his eyes a primal flash of ferocity, like a beast plotting to seize its prey, and could only keep silent. When they entered the residence, the servants were all lined up to greet Sierra, the head butler at the forefront. ¡°Please do come in. All we servants gathered here are delighted to be able to serve you today.¡± ¡°I¡­¡± ¡°This is Miss Sierra, who will be the new lady of this household.¡± Adlan declared confidently, his arm wrapping around Sierra¡¯s waist to draw her forward. Sierra could only give a wry smile. ¡°Now, this dinner party was rather abrupt, but the chefs have been giving it their all, so how about we go enjoy dinner?¡± After finishing the dinner filled with the chefs¡¯ heartfelt consideration, the two retreated to Adlan¡¯s private room and were currently sipping at glasses. ¡°Sir Adlan, doesn¡¯t it seem as though you are doing a bit more than I requested?¡± ¡°Sorry. However, accepting your first time means I am prepared to accept you as my wife.¡± ¡°At least, as far as I¡¯m concerned¡±, he finished with another gulp of fragrant alcohol. ¡°Now then, don¡¯t want to get too buzzed¡­ Since this is essentially our wedding night. Are you resolved? Though, even if I ask, I might not be able to send you home if you say no. You¡¯re far too beautiful, too lovely.¡± Adlan set his glass aside, then took up Sierra¡¯s hand in his own before speaking again. ¡°I¡¯ll formally propose then. Sierra, would you become my wife? If you join with me, then you would never have to worry about an unexpected marriage calling you back to Stellaus, and you could spend your life at Princess Marietta¡¯s side. Of course, I will also make every effort to make sure you are beyond happy. For the continued peace between Stellaus and Oltaire, and most of all, for my joy, won¡¯t you marry me?¡± If she married Adlan, she could stay by her princess¡¯ side. ¡°Yes-¡°, when what Sierra could only consider the number one advantage was presented, she reflexively spoke out, but quickly grew flustered. ¡°I, I mean, I-¡° Sierra sputtered; Adlan¡¯s responses were far beyond what she had expected, but the man quickly swept her up in an embrace. ¡°So you¡¯ve said yes, Sierra!¡± Sierra¡¯s mouth struggled to make any contribution before it was sealed with a kiss, the concentrated onslaught causing her to wobble in her seat on the sofa. Her cheeks dyeing to match her plump, red, teased lips, Sierra raised her misty blue eyes to Adlan¡¯s as though to criticize him. ¡°Sir Adlan¡­¡± ¡°Yep, I know. Just like I promised you, I¡¯ll embrace you and teach you a lot about what love feels like.¡± ¡°That sounds quite different from what I- eep!¡± Adlan swung her up into his arms, and Sierra could only reflexively cling to him, and just like that she was carried across to the bed and laid atop the sheets. ¡°You¡¯re adorable, Sierra. I love you, you know, and in just a bit I will make you mine.¡± Adlan¡¯s fingers skillfully set to work on untangling the various buttons and ribbons of her dress. ¡°To make sure you properly understand, we won¡¯t be turning down the lights, right?¡± ¡°No, please do turn out the lights!¡± ¡°Nope, because I want to start with teaching you various things while it¡¯s this bright. We can extinguish the lights for the next time.¡± ¡°Huh? Start? Next time?¡± Just like that, Sierra¡¯s dress fell away, leaving only her underwear and whatever dignity the blushing glare she directed at Adlan could offer. ¡°Making such an adorable face will only excite me more, you know?¡± With a pleasant smile Adlan had quickly set about removing his own clothes, but Sierra¡¯s glance made his lips widen, and his grin turned positively wicked as he removed his last article of clothing. Adlan¡¯s splendid body bare before her, Sierra unintentionally stared before coming back to herself, blushing bright red as she averted her eyes. ¡°You know you can look as much as you like, Sierra.¡± Adlan leaned over the bed and offered a kiss to Sierra¡¯s lips. ¡°It¡¯s fine to look, and to touch. After all, I am going to be your husband. On the other hand, absolutely none of that is allowed with other men. Got it?¡± ¡°Y-yes¡­¡± Sierra weakly muttered, her heart hammering underneath the strong and incredibly naked man before her eyes. Oh Lady Marietta, he truly is considerably well muscled! Those dreamy muscles pressed against Sierra¡¯s body as that naked figure embraced her. ¡°What a girl, huh. I¡¯ll never let you go for my whole life, you know.¡± Then wouldn¡¯t my whole life be nothing more than muscles! From Adlan¡¯s hot, solid body emanated the scent of a man¡¯s passion, and the fragrance sent a shock through Sierra¡¯s instincts. ¡°Sir Adlan¡­¡± Entranced, her white fingers involuntarily traced along his chest. ¡°Quite proactive, huh.¡± With that, Adlan kissed her once more and began to undo her undergarments. ¡°Oh, this is embarrassing¡­¡± ¡°The hindrances has been removed. It¡¯s alright, nothing dreadful.¡± ¡°Ahhn-¡° Sierra raise a sweet voice as a kiss landed just behind her ear. ¡°What shimmering white skin. This soft, good scent in unbearable. Letting another man know you like this is unthinkable.¡± Adlan nibbled along her collarbone, his sucking lips trailing a line of blooming red flowers that followed as his tongue moved up and around her neck. ¡°Because you, are mine.¡± ¡°Ahh~, mm-¡° Adlan¡¯s palms worked their way along the woman¡¯s body as Sierra¡¯s voice fell from her mouth. ¡°Sierra, Sierra, give me your all, and you¡¯ll have my everything in return.¡± His whisper shook her to the bottom of her stomach like a deep bass. His tongue teased at her ear as his hands massaged her chest, and an unknown sensation shivered through her, causing Sierra to writhe about. As every inch of her was assaulted, as that pleasant feeling tugged at her every perception, Sierra couldn¡¯t understand her own body. ¡°Ahn, Sir Adlan, if you do that¡­¡± ¡°Right, it feels good?¡± ¡°Ahhn~!¡± The tip of his tongue summited her chest, and with each movement a fresh wave of the pleasant feeling crashed against the pit of her stomach. ¡°Your honest body is quite worth teaching. Here, look at the end of these nipples. They¡¯ve become quite stiff, reddened, and delicious looking. How about this?¡± Adlan placed both peaks between thumb and forefinger, rolling them softly. ¡°Aaahn, wait, please, not so much-¡° Unable to endure it, Sierra clung to the man¡¯s tempered arms with teary eyes, her head shaking back and forth. The innocent and tantalizing view beneath Adlan¡¯s green eyes agitated the ferocious beast within him. Naturally, the lady¡¯s request would go unanswered. Adlan¡¯s fingers increased their grip on those red peaks, and a surge of numbness ran through Sierra as her back arched, pushing her chest closer to the man. She was one sidedly massaged and pulled, not a single gap in the stimulus allowing her to surface to breath. ¡°Hyaaahn~¡± Sierra¡¯s voice rose once more as those red points were gently nibbled. Her lower body felt feverish, and she unconsciously rubbed her knees together. ¡°Now, if we want to know if you¡¯re properly feeling good, we can take a look down here.¡± ¡°Feeling, good?¡± Sierra gasped more than asked. Adlan, his face thoroughly displaying a beastly hunger, slipped his hand down and between her legs. ¡°That¡¯s right. Now, would my good student let me take a look?¡± Chapter 22 Affirmation Chapter 22 Affirmation Sierra¡¯s long night eventually came to an end, and she returned to work the following afternoon. No matter how desperately she attempted to remain steady however, her trembling hips and tottering steps eventually prompted Marietta to call out to her in concern. ¡°Sierra, are you alright? What in the world did this to you?¡± ¡°¡­ Indeed, just what did me¡­ Special attention is needed to deal with brutish men, milady.¡± Seriously, especially when it comes to secretly muscle-headed seconds-in-command of the army! Really, to use my earnest request as a pretense, hiding behind that gentle face as he does such lascivious things to my body¡­ Sierra, as she recalled the beast that lurked below that sociable smile, could only blush. ¡°You must be thinking ¡®don¡¯t people usually wait until their wedding night for this¡¯ right?¡± ¡°Ahh, if that¡¯s the case, please stop, ahn~¡± ¡°However, if Princess Marietta asks you before then, you¡¯ll both be stumped for an answer, so hadn¡¯t you better memorize it all in advance?¡­ Yup, this here is completely adorable.¡± ¡°Hyaan, stooop, bringing your face there¡­ you can¡¯t, nooo!¡± To be sure, Sierra was thankful for a great deal that night. Thanks to thorough use of perfumed oils and attention, she felt no discomfort, and the instruction on bedroom matters could be called nothing less than the full course. However, ¡°Now then, let¡¯s hold another review, yeah?¡± With lines like that, they would vehemently continue from the top, again and again. Adlan, while maintaining his courteous explanations, launched a barrage upon Sierra¡¯s body, alternatively revealing and caressing every inch of her to the heights of sensitivity. The pleasure forced tears to her eyes until dawn broke and their embrace finally ended. ¡°Look Sierra, this is the being called a man, you see.¡± Embarrassed from having that specific spot, untouched by others, not only seen but licked, the emotional damage had stolen away Sierra¡¯s breath. Despite her faint pants, Adlan¡¯s honeyed words sneaked directly into her ear, declaring his love even as his shaft was thrust through her body again and again. ¡°Do you feel the way you hold me inside of you? This place is meant for me alone, so I¡¯ll engrave this feeling deep so that no other man can try to enter.¡± His emerald green eyes like a verdant pasture seethed with passion and an intense inner light. The large, stiff hands forged in swordsmanship interwove themselves with Sierra¡¯s soft, white fingers and pinned the woman to the bed. Her heavy breath was blocked as the thick tongue of a man pierced her lips and churned through every nook and corner. From his usual sociable appearance, one wouldn¡¯t even be able to imagine the amorously vehement man before Sierra spouting pheromones from his whole body. At her wit¡¯s end, the inexperienced maid had no option but to follow along. Afterwards, despite only sleeping a few hours after embracing Sierra through the entire night, Adlan somehow greeted the remainder of the day and his work with a dazzling face and overwhelming vigour. Even though Sierra couldn¡¯t move until the sun was well into the sky. No matter how much Sierra regularly drilled her body, she could never match up to the muscles of the active duty, second-in-command of the army. ¡°I love you¡±; ¡°be mine for as long as we live¡±; ¡°I¡¯ll give you my everything¡±; his sweet words flowing even as Adlan¡¯s manhood was driven into Sierra¡¯s body, a sweltering haze settled within her is it repeated, over and over, in and out. In the end, her consciousness grew dim midway through, and her powerless white legs were lightly held apart as her body was jolted. ¡°I love you, darling Sierra.¡± ¡°What ¡®knight¡¯¡­ They are all, without doubt, nothing but beasts! Those men all ought to learn the definition of ¡®going overboard¡¯!¡± ¡°S-Sierra, really, what is it that happened last evening? Was it so detestable?¡± Sierra declared her thoughts in a low, forceful voice, startling the as yet inexperienced Marietta into asking of the maid¡¯s well being once more. ¡°Detestable¡­?¡± No, it was certainly troublesome in ways, but not detestable. Between Adlan¡¯s tempestuous pursuit, being held tight to his hot, sturdy chest, and hearing the knight proudly spouting on about their relationship, it wasn¡¯t bad¡­ No, rather, she felt a pleasantly comfortable, instinctual happiness and excitement. Nonetheless, admitting as much was a bit embarrassing. Be that as it may, she most assuredly did not wish to burden Marietta with negative thoughts for when she would share a bed with Belvant. ¡°Well, to call it detestable, or rather, it¡¯s¡­¡± Sierra¡¯s words lacked commitment and she blushed fiercely. ¡°Perhaps I can say it differs somewhat from the romance novella I provided previously.¡± ¡°Ah, that story! Ehehe¡± Recalling a particularly romantic love scene, Marietta giggled as a pink tint crept across her cheeks. ¡°Was it not a dazzling night, like the dream of two lovers?¡± ¡°Dazzling¡­¡± No, in reality it was like a nightmare, an endless night of eroticism. Sierra concealed her retort behind a soft cough. ¡°That is certainly how it is, indeed, not detestable at all. However, there are some small¡­ Well, for example, there are issues such as size.¡± ¡°Size? How do you mean?¡± Marietta tilted her charmingly tiny head. That men weren¡¯t so charmingly tiny down there was precisely the problem. When it came to Adlan, though his muscles were considerable, his physique was not to the degree of Belvant¡¯s. With his slender figure for a knight, he did not look the slightest bit ¡°macho¡±. Even so. ¡°S-sir Adlan, what is that?!¡± The nude Adlan was in top form down below! The erect figure waiting there was plenty ready to verify that, and the shock of the sight sent shivers of fear through Sierra. ¡°It got like this thanks to my desire for you, Sierra. Wanna try touching it?¡± That arched stiffly towards the heavens as though to defy any thought of gravity, far and away from anything Sierra had imagined from such things. The dark red, ominous force it boasted was definitely rank A. ¡°No, that¡¯s completely unreasonable, such a large thing would never fit inside!¡± Sierra¡¯s charm was so intense as she desperately shook her head, tears in her eyes, that Adlan struggled to suppress the bubbling desire to tease her as he gently responded. ¡°It¡¯ll be alright, just leave everything to me. I¡¯ll make sure you¡¯re properly relaxed so that putting it in doesn¡¯t hurt at all. Okay?¡± Later, after Adlan had made true on his words to prevent any pain by shattering Sierra¡¯s mind beforehand, he let leak a stray thought. ¡°Oh~, I wonder, will the princess be alright? Since she¡¯s smaller than you, Sierra, and Belvant is gargantuan compared to me, you know~¡± ¡°Huh, you mean to say that they can get bigger than this?!¡± Sierra, crammed full as she was by a veritable rod of meat, was shocked by the beyond unreasonable circumstances. ¡°I understand, Sierra. In that case, I must go and affirm the real thing.¡± Sierra ended up explaining her worries in a rather roundabout manner, but Marietta properly listened before she responded with resolve. ¡°Um, ¡®affirm¡¯, you say¡­¡± ¡°In order to gain victory, one must know one¡¯s enemy! Whether love can surmount this obstacle or not, I cannot begin if I don¡¯t know the truth. It¡¯s alright, no matter what sort of that it is, as long as it is Sir Belvant¡¯s thatdown there, I can love it!¡± ¡°Well, as I would expect of My Lady, you are magnificently proactive. Although that is certainly¡­ it isn¡¯t wrong, but¡­¡± Marietta was, quite plainly, saying something completely outrageous. By saying she would affirm the real thing, she was declaring that she would strip Belvant down to the nude to look down there. If Sierra were the calm and composed maid she usually was, she would surely halt this idea immediately. Today however, her considerable fatigue and emotional damage left her feeling strangely disconnected from her common discernment. And on top of all that. ¡°Princess Marietta, I give my salutations.¡± As though the various thoughts concerning him had allowed him to manifest, Adlan located Sierra and, despite being in the middle of work, he wrapped his arms tight around her waist in an embrace and brought her a kiss. ¡°Sir Adlan, desist with, nmm!¡± Unmindful of how they were standing just before Marietta, Adlan even went so far as to add his tongue to their kiss. ¡°Kyaannn, nooo~¡± Right before the delighted princess was a passionate kiss scene, straight from her illustrations. ¡°Is it alright for you to be up and about? I wonder if I held back too much.¡± ¡°No, if that¡¯s your degree of holding back, it is sufficient, now cease this-¡° As her fiance moved to begin setting new red claims upon her neck, Sierra frantically pushed him away. ¡°Now, milady, it is important that you spend time with General Fargus.¡± ¡°It is indeed. How sly of you to start flirting on your own, Sir Adlan.¡± Marietta finished her words by turning to Sierra with a thumbs up, mouthing ¡°I¡¯m going to affirm it!¡± before she left. Sierra let herself sink onto the room¡¯s sofa, utterly exhausted and filled with the inexplicable feeling that she had overlooked something outrageous. Author Note: Next time, how does Marietta plan to carry out her mission? And, will she be able to clear it safely? Please look forward to it. Chapter 23 Challenging the Mission Chapter 23 Challenging the Mission Adlan knocked the door to the office and opened it, where there was Belvant with his usual atrocious appearance and furrowed brows. He was apparently somewhat displeased with the data of the documents he was holding. ¡°That¡¯s the last, right? Your schedule is supposed to be free in the afternoon, so you can spend some time with the princess.¡± ¡°Even so, this is¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, I have checked it earlier and I have made the necessary preparations. The result will be out by tomorrow, so you can review it afterwards.¡± Adlan, a man who¡¯s good at his work, answered with a calm expression. ¡°¡­That was fast.¡± ¡°Fufun, I have received some energy, so I¡¯m moving right ahead with the work.¡± Say, what did you absorb from Sierra, again? Belvant furrowed his eyebrows more, to the extent that his expression turned into something that could make even a demon to run away in fear. Even so, that kind of thing didn¡¯t bother Adlan at all, as he just shrugged his shoulders. ¡°Uhm, Sir Belvant?¡± A clear and beautiful charming voice resounded. Recognizing the owner of that voice, Belvant¡¯s expression changed. It was an evident change. [The quick change from a dreadful fierce god into a fine general, isn¡¯t that way too conspicuous?] Adlan kept his quip inside his own mind. ¡°Marietta, you finally came.¡± ¡°I wanted to see you, Sir Belvant.¡± Belvant stood up from his chair and held up his fianc¨¦e who lifted her dress¡¯ skirt, and rushed over towards him. It goes without saying that he lifted her easily with only using his left hand. Marietta circled her hands to Belvant¡¯s neck, fixing herself comfortably to her usual position, and laughed with satisfaction. Belvant was gazing at her sweetly, very sweetly. He caressed Marietta¡¯s cheek with his free right hand, and then he touched her chin. ¡°Ah-, well then, please enjoy making out to your heart¡¯s content after this. I will go and finish my work. Khu-, I really want to go and meet Sierra-¡° Run with all your power, Sierra. This man has already forgotten about what he has done last night. Well, anyways. Upon hearing the name ¡°Sierra¡±, Marietta remembered her important mission. ¡°Hey, Sir Belvant.¡± Marietta peered into Belvant¡¯s ice blue pupils, as she thought in fascination, [No matter how many times I see them, they¡¯re still very dreamy¡­], and then turned her face down. ¡°I would love to see your appearance during a match. Since you¡¯re so strong, I think it will be a very dreamy thing to watch.¡± Marietta then caressed Belvant¡¯s muscle with her palm. By the way, Marietta¡¯s belief was [Muscles must be used!]. ¡°Is that so. If Marietta is interested, would you like to come to the knights¡¯ practice ground? The timing is perfect since I was also considering to exercise my body a little bit.¡± Belvant, who thought to himself that it¡¯s good to be able to have a healthy date, didn¡¯t notice Marietta¡¯s morbid expectation, and continued the conversation. ¡°Thank you very much for listening to my selfishness, Sir Belvant!¡± ¡°That kind of thing isn¡¯t selfishness at all. Instead, I¡¯d like to be able to grant more of your wishes.¡± ¡°Oh my, Sir Belvant! I¡¯m truly happy¡­¡± After that, Marietta clung to Belvant¡¯s neck as they were having their ¡°Chu Chu Time¡± for a while. But, the dispirited Adlan, who was initially there as the two of them laid out their sweetness, had already left the room. And, as usual, in order to hold down his wicked desire towards Marietta who was adorably clinging to his neck with her all, Belvant demonstrated his swordsmanship technique wholeheartedly, putting all of his fighting spirit into the sparring, causing the muscle army corps¡ªer, rather¡ªthe members of Oltaire Chivalric Order to rejoice, and once again the ardent and sweltering Muscle Festival was unfolded. The festival was finally over. There was a man who grasped his sword in a daunting pose, as he was drenched in his own sweat, as if water was poured over from his head. ¡°Hmm, everyone seems to have improved their skills considerably. I had quite a hard time sparring with them.¡± Surrounding him was a heap of corpses¡­not, there were a couple of collapsed warriors who had used up all of their strength, scattered around the place. Every one of them was also drenched in sweat. It was excessively steamy as far as the eyes could see. They were by no means weak. On the contrary, the Oltaire Chivalric Order were beings renowned for their invincibility and their dauntless courage. However, General Belvant Fergus was out of the standard. On top of having a tall and sturdy stature which was a blessing as a soldier, he also had an innate talent and serious disposition which led him to temper his swordsmanship skills, speed, and strength until they were all excellent. In addition, he was also quick-witted, which made him able to make his judgement in an instant. Moreover, despite his initial strength, today he also had his repressed bottomless libido (In other words, the ero power that arised towards Marietta), he got powered up into an existence that exceeded any normal human being. ¡°Each one of you is really powerful! However, don¡¯t be conceited, try to face your own weaknesses directly, and aim for further level! For that reason, I will beat you all no matter how many times, with the intention of training you thoroughly! Follow me even if you have to grovel! That will surely strengthen you!¡± ¡°Uwooooo¨C!¡± ¡°General Fergus¨C!¡± Their shout of joy that looked like an angry roar, as if the earth was rumbling, could be heard. They were exceedingly reeked of men. And they were also dirty. [Aah, I wonder how they could be very strong and gallant.] Despite being in such an environment, there was a lone princess who crossed her arms in front of her bosom, her eyes were moist and deeply moved by what she witnessed. Even though it was a place unsuitable for the young woman no matter how you look at it, for the muscle-loving Marietta, it was a place that she could call a paradise. ¡°You looked very fantastic today, too, Sir Belvant!¡± ¡°Is that so. Princess, you really love the swords art, huh.¡± ¡°Yes. I¡¯m most fond of Sir Belvant¡¯s gallant figure in particular.¡± ¡°I, is that so?¡± Belvant who hung his coat on his shoulders, was unable to lift Marietta because he was drenched in sweat. He walked slowly towards his own room inside the royal palace while matching his pace with her. Naturally, he was heading there in order to wash away his dirty body. Walking next to him was a small princess who was looking at him with her sparkling blue eyes that yearned for Belvant, and they were excessively charming that it was unbearable. ¡°Now, please slowly enjoy yourself in the bath. I will be waiting while drinking some tea here.¡± ¡°Sorry for that. Well then, I¡¯ll wash my body first.¡± ¡°Alright.¡± Marietta¡¯s eyes, who should have been innocent, glittered in that instant. And then. After Belvant disappeared into the bathroom, she immediately locked the door and put her blond hair together, arranging it into a high ponytail. Then, how could it be, she took off her dress. ¡°Ufu, it worked well!¡± After placing her dress on the sofa, Marietta who was only in her underwear, entered the bathroom. The naked Belvant was taking a bath to wash off his sweat. Due to exerting plenty of his power, his excessive worldly desires disappeared, and it looked like he could spend the time in a well-mannered behavior with Marietta today. Or, so he thought. ¡°Sir Belvant, I will help wash your body!¡± ¡°Marietta! Why are you here¡­¡± Even if the enemy ambushed him, he wouldn¡¯t be as surprised as this. The calm and collected general was now jumping in surprise. Beyond the steam, there stood his lovely fiancee¡¯s figure in her underwear, grinning with the cloth for washing body on one of her hands. ¡°W, wh, what in the¡­¡± ¡°Thank you for your hard work today, too. Please let me reward you as your wife.¡± ¡°No, wait, no, no, you¡¯re still not yet my wife, so¡­¡± ¡°Since we¡¯re engaged, wouldn¡¯t I be the same as your wife? ¡­or could it be¡­ am I insufficient as your wife?¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t said anything like that.¡± ¡°Thank goodness! It¡¯s alright, I think I know how to wash your body!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t think that¡¯s the problem here. Wait, please calm down.¡± Unfortunately, the one who couldn¡¯t compose himself was Belvant. After putting enough soap into the washing cloth, Marietta said to Belvant. ¡°Please sit down on that chair. Since Sir Belvant is large, I wouldn¡¯t be able to reach you if you don¡¯t sit down.¡± ¡°Marietta,¡­¡± ¡°Please, have a seat.¡± When Marietta extended her hand, Belvant hurriedly sat on the chair. As for Marietta¡­ As soon as she entered the bathroom, she made sure to affirm something important. That¡¯s right, it was Belvant¡¯s size. [Well, I shan¡¯t relinquish this chance!] Her thoughts upon seeing it¡­ it wasn¡¯t that enormous. Marietta felt relieved. [Thank goodness, this seems to be alright.] Marietta who was afraid of how terrifying that thing might be, now felt relieved and was about to begin servicing Belvant. ¡°Then, I will start from your back.¡± Belvant who was still dumbfounded had missed his chance to drive Marietta away from the bathroom, and obediently had his body washed. ¡°Umph! Umph!¡± The future wife who washed his wide back while slightly letting out her voice was way too cute. Yes, enough to wake up Belvant¡¯s supposedly dormant lust. Marietta washed his thick neck, his robust arms, and even the tip of his nose that was drenched in sweat wholeheartedly. Before one realized it, the white bubbles reached her pink cheeks, but Marietta who was so immersed with her washing didn¡¯t even notice it. This is bad. She is way too cute. Because she was only wearing her underwear, her white and slender arms and legs were exposed, and they were seductive. Belvant¡¯s lust was increasingly stirred up. ¡°Next, I will wash your chest¡­ eh?¡± Marietta who just turned around, started to blink incessantly. ¡°Eh? Why?¡± Even though it was so languid until just now. Why is it getting bigger now? Marietta then proceeded to look at Belvant¡¯s face in comparison to it. With his somewhat reddish face, Belvant turned away from Marietta. ¡°Ah-, Marietta, you¡¯re way too ignorant about a man¡¯s condition.¡± ¡°A, ah, uhm¡­¡± He turned his face away, avoiding Marietta who was staring at that. Thereupon, whether he was aware of Marietta¡¯s stare, that thing went up even more. ¡°Y, you can¡¯t! Don¡¯t get any bigger than that!¡± The trembling Marietta then dropped the washing cloth which was soaked with the bubbles, and then suppressed it with both hands, thoughtlessly gripping it. ¡°Uoo!¡± *Thump* While pulsing, it transformed even bigger until it became atrocious, and Marietta somehow managed to stop its transformation to become even more enormous with her hands that were slippery due to the bubbles. But as a result, Marietta was stroking it many times over while sliding her small hands. ¡°Ah, no, stop it.¡± ¡°Wait, please don¡¯t get any bigger!¡± Nuru nuru nuru nuru nuruu!* (*the sound effect from Marietta stroking it with her slippery hands) ¡°Khuuu!!!¡± In the end, it swelled up remarkably huge, and when she continued to stroke itviolently, it sprayed some white and sticky liquid many times over Marietta¡¯s front body. Author¡¯s Comment : Sorry for being so vulgar in this chapter! Marietta had no ill will at all. Now, Belvant who just did bukkake towards his beloved adorable fianc¨¦e (still a virgin), and Marietta who was stunned by that thing that transformed enormously, what will the two of them do about this situation? Next time, please look forward to it! V (peace sign) Chapter 24 The Awkward Bath Chapter 24 The Awkward Bath After his vital was grasped by the maiden¡¯s hands, Belvant who unexpectedly had a spontaneous discharge, in spite of being the usually calm, cool, and collected general, for a moment he experienced a shock to the extent that caused the scene before his eyes to lose its color. ¡°Ah¡­ That was?¡± Meanwhile Marietta, upon seeing some white sticky thing that was scattered all around her own body, tilted her head in confusion, for she had no knowledge regarding that thing¡¯s identity. For some reason, it smelled stinky, and when she tried to scoop it gently with her fingers and look at it, the semi-transparent thing got entangled around her hand. It jumped out with a terrible vigour from Sir Belvant¡¯s genitals. Moreover, its amount was quite plenty. I wonder what is it for? ¡°Sir Belvant, what is this?¡± ¡°Ugh, do I really have to explain it from there?¡± Looking at the pure princess who used her fingers to fiddle around with his semen, Belvant concealed his forehead using his own hand, as if his pain was gathered around there. ¡°¡­Ah, stop it!¡± Belvant uttered those words as if he was roaring, while strongly holding Marietta¡¯s hand that was carrying the semen to her nose, in order for her to ascertain the smell. Instead of being frightened, Marietta looked blankly at Belvant with her innocent face. Looking at the esteemed princess¡¯ body which was defiled all over with his own released semen, Belvant whose lust should have been released a moment ago, felt that the source of his lust was getting full to the brim again. Thus, he fell into a deep self-loathing while thinking, ¡®Just what kind of pervert am I?¡¯ ¡°For now, wash it! Wash your body! I¡¯m begging you, please wash it!¡± ¡°Kyaa!¡± Belvant splashed the hot water on the top of Marietta¡¯s underwear as she screamed in surprise. Therefore, Marietta obediently followed Belvant¡¯s instruction to quickly wash it all away, as she used her hand to scrub the white thing clean from her underwear and then she washed them away. Now then, although it was finally clean, the underwear got soaked with water, and it was stuck tightly to Marietta¡¯s body, making her figure become increasingly lascivious. From her breasts, the delicious pink-looking peaks were showing through, looking as if they were telling Belvant to go ahead and put them inside his mouth. Belvant swallowed his saliva in one big gulp. Just what got me into a situation as though my whole reasoning is crumbling down? Have I done something wrong? ¡°Well, what should I do?¡± Marietta became embarrassed, although it was quite too late already, bashfully tried to hide her body¡¯s line, and Belvant caught her hands. ¡°Uh-, there is no other way, so just take them off. Besides, you can¡¯t return to the room in this condition, right?¡± While frantically trying to restrain his welling sexual desire that was set ablaze, Belvant somehow managed to measure and make his decision for the current situation. What a sweet development, no, this is a chance to forge my spirit! Please endure it, me! ¡°Eh¡­ T, take them off?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Let¡¯s just take a bath together. Then, change into some dry clothes.¡± ¡°Oh my, a bath? That is, kyaa, ahn, noo¡­¡± The underwear that was stuck firmly to her body was skillfully taken off by Belvant¡¯s hands who averted his consciousness towards the development of the battlefield that was unfolding somewhere inside his mind. Getting a glimpse of her plump white pair of hills with reddening peaks and her slit that was covered with a pale gold bush, Belvant somehow managed to erase his towering carnal desire by intracerebrally recalling a dreadful image of a human¡¯s vital parts that have been torn to pieces. ¡°I, it¡¯s embarassing!¡± Marietta¡¯s white skin was dyed with her bashfulness, and her body was beautiful and obscene, even without the effect of any magical power. The general who resolved his force of will cool-headedly, showed his smile from the corner of his lips and gently said. ¡°It¡¯s alright, since we will soon become husband and wife, taking a bath together is par for the course.¡± Marietta, who was bashful due to her being completely naked, was held up in Belvant¡¯s arms and then she was taken into the bathtub as soon as he managed to keep his cool thoroughly. Looking at his state of affairs, Marietta thought that she was being immature for being unusually flustered, and so she remained quiet. ¡°That¡¯s right, since we will soon be husband and wife, if I were to tremble with this amount of a thing, then I won¡¯t be fit for being the wife of this country¡¯s hero, the General Belvant Fargus.¡± Once the two entered the bathtub with the warm and comfortable water, the girl who was firmly embraced and glued to her beloved Belvant¡¯s arms, although it was quite embarrassing, she could not help but to feel happy. Because she was being hugged from behind, Belvant¡¯s thing got locked on to Marietta as it was directly in contact with her buttocks, but for now, let¡¯s not pay any attention to it. ¡°Sir Belvant.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I love you.¡± Ufufu, so the naked beautiful girl smiled within his arms, and as Belvant started to feet charmed by her behavior, he shook his head in denial while thinking, ¡®no, no, this is dangerous!¡¯ ¡°Now then. Could you tell me the reason as to why you suddenly thought of that mischief just now?¡± When he whispered close to Marietta¡¯s ears and incidentally placed his lips on her white nape, her young but honest and sensitive body trembled swiftly. ¡°Oh, oh my, what are you talking, about?¡± Marietta soaked her head into the bath, and somehow her lower abdomen also felt hot after taking a direct hit from the charming man¡¯s deep voice, and at that moment, she felt a furious throbbing from her heart. [Ah, Sir Belvant, even your voice is so dreamy¡­] ¡°As the owner, I think I have the right to know what kind of business might you have with the area between my legs.¡± However, as unfortunately as it may be, that dreamy voice didn¡¯t whisper the words of love, an instead, it referred to the problem related to the area between his legs. ¡°It¡¯s not like, I have any particular business with that kind of place, ahn¡­¡± As if to punish her, her breasts were being massaged from behind, the kind of breast enlargement massage that Belvant normally did to train Marietta¡¯s sensitive body, and that made her turn around. ¡°Do you really think I am unable to comprehend that you are so conscious about it? Hm?¡± As Belvant¡¯s chest was pressing the white bulges, he relentlessly rolled the red pointed tips on top of the bulges by using his fingertips. ¡°If you don¡¯t honestly tell me about it, I will continue the massage until you tell me.¡± ¡°Ah, ahn, not there, aaa¡ªh!¡± His lips touched her earlobe, as it was being licked by his tongue, Marietta conspicuously let out a loud voice as she writhed. ¡°Please wait, Sir Belvant, if you continue to massage me, I won¡¯t be able to speak.¡± ¡°Well, then I will do it slowly.¡± ¡°Ah, ahn, noo¡­¡± Marietta couldn¡¯t endure it and started to move her hips restlessly, and the back of her buttocks rubbed against Belvant¡¯s male parts, thus the indecent stimulus got conveyed into his mind. Once again, it regained its former stiffness. ¡°Ugh, is this the work of the small devil?!¡± No, that was all Belvant¡¯s self-destruct. Then, Marietta who wriggled in response to the obscene punishment she received, unconsciously fumbled to seek for something to support her body and clung to something that touched her fingertips. ¡°Ghuooo!!¡± Belvant¡¯s thing stretched ecstatically with lust. ¡°Haahn¡­¡± Marietta who was partly hazy from Belvant¡¯s bass voice and the loving caresses to her breasts, grasped tightly to the man¡¯s body with her small hands. ¡°F, for a warrior to, receive the same kind of attack twice is¡­ Ugh, but it feels good!¡± ¡°What is this, so big¡­¡± ¡°Marietta, don¡¯t! Don¡¯t move your hands!¡± ¡°But, it¡¯s too big for me to grab, it¡¯s impossible with one hand only¡­¡± ¡°There is no need to grab it! Now!!¡± Belvant gradually lost his own composure. And Marietta whose head was clear. ¡°Oh my, I have done something so rude.¡± Marietta calmed down and let her hands off Belvant¡¯s important thing. As he was released, Belvant who managed to prevent yet another spontaneous discharge, sighed in relief. The two of them exchanged glances with their reddened faces, as they were panting roughly. Because I attempted to imprudently attack this princess, I got beaten down severely. What a dreadful opponent she is. A greenhorn like me could never stand a chance against her. The fierce-looking general instinctively admitted that his own power would be no match for Marietta¡¯s natural airhead power, and he adjusted his posture before cautiously inquired. ¡°¡­So, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°All right. To tell you the truth, I got worried and thought to ascertain it. Since I heard that Sir Belvant¡¯s penis1 was extremely big.¡± ¡°*gulp* Marietta, a maiden like you should never speak those indecent words, you should just keep speaking courteously!¡± ¡°Oh my, I apologize. Was it an improper expression? Then, what about dick2?¡± ¡°You can¡¯t say that, as well.¡± ¡°Well, I am troubled. Could it be, coc-3¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t!¡± Please do not stimulate me any more than this! Marietta titled her head as she was completely troubled. And Belvant whose HP got depleted due to the attacks from the nude maiden¡¯s indecent words. ¡°Eh, uhm, in any case, about that place, based on the book I was studying the other day, it was to be put inside of me. I didn¡¯t make a mistake regarding that, did I?¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s not wrong.¡± ¡°That being the case, would Sir Belvant please teach me? Based on the result of my affirmation, I came to understand that no matter how you look at it, it was oversized! I wonder what should I do? There is no way it would fit into my mouth!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t get agitated-! Besides, where did you say you should be putting this in, anyway-?!¡± The cry of Belvant¡¯s soul echoed in the whole bathroom. Author¡¯s Note : Again, I apologize for this vulgar development! After succeeding in her mission, Marietta didn¡¯t know what to do next, and in the end the princess let Belvant did all the decision-making. Nevertheless, abruptly mentioning her mouth, just what kind of book did she read¡­? Chapter 25 A Correct Knowledge is Important Chapter 25 A Correct Knowledge is Important The pleasant-smelling herb that was entered into the hot water within the bathtub, once it cooled down would result in loosening the muscles if it were used for a long time, and it was by no means something that should be soaked into for a long time. Nevertheless, Belvant whose blood circulation improved strangely, sat down on the edge of the bathtub to cool down his head. Marietta was soaked in the hot water just as she was, touching the bundle of herbs. Even though she was terribly embarrassed earlier, she has gotten used to it, and as if she was together with an innocent child, she didn¡¯t pay any mind even though she was naked. As expected, perhaps it has something to do with how she couldn¡¯t quite comprehend the matter regarding a man and a woman. ¡°Sir Belvant, please tell me.¡± She inquired with her clear blue eyes that had no ill intention. ¡°No, I¡¯m the one who wants to hear about it. How did you conclude that it should go to your mouth?¡± Well, there is also that kind of a fun option. However, it is by no means something aimed for a beginner. ¡°After all, it¡¯s something that was written in the book!¡± Marietta pouted as she pointed her objection. That expression of hers was way too adorable, that Belvant bent over to kiss her, causing Marietta¡¯s face to break out into a smile. ¡°There are lots of expressions that I don¡¯t understand, and I¡¯m troubled over them. Let see, [he put his thick stave into her small, dripping wet mouth, hammering it in one go] or, [the sultry cloudy thing1 was overflowingly poured in many times over], like that¡­ hey, it is put into the mouth, right?¡± Marietta who turned around towards Belvant, stared fixedly at it which is still facing towards the sky. ¡°Whoa, wait, listen, you should absolutely not touch it with your hands, got it?¡± It was as if he was telling her to be cautious of the explosion of the hazardous materials. ¡°Okay, I will not touch it.¡± Marietta nodded obediently. ¡°Oh my, could it be, the thing that came out a lot earlier was [the sultry cloudy thing], I guess?¡± ¡°U, umu, well, maybe.¡± ¡°Ah, I understand! If I were to drink that, I would be having Sir Belvant¡¯s baby, right?! Isn¡¯t that right?¡± Too bad! But you got the drinking spot wrong! Belvant opened his mouth to correct her mistake. However, before he got to do that, Marietta happily said this. ¡°I want to quickly have Sir Belvant¡¯s baby. I want to give birth to as many as two babies, and then build a lively family! Sir Belvant¡¯s children will surely be rambunctious yet kind, and adorable. Hey, aren¡¯t you looking forward to it?¡± ¡°My, children?¡± Belvant opened his mouth dumbfoundedly. He was way too happy. Wanting to bear my child, is that what this adorable person wish for? The child of someone, like me? ¡°Marietta¡­¡± She entwined her slender and smooth fingers to Belvant¡¯s unrefined hand that¡¯s covered with callus. ¡°Well, I want it as soon as possible. It¡¯s fine, right, Sir Belvant?¡± What a sweet pleading it is. He was deeply moved, and nodded without thinking about anything. ¡°I¡¯m so happy!¡± Then, Marietta whose wrong guess wasn¡¯t corrected¡­ Adorably put Belvant¡¯s welled up male parts inside her own mouth! ¡°Gwaah!!¡± Unable to withstand the unexpected stimulus, the brave warrior with a long record of his military service made a wry face, and screamed in his misery. Certainly, she hasn¡¯t touched it with her hands. However, with her earnestly opened mouth, she covered it up to the glans entirely. Furthermore, she sucked it up after that! ¡°Stop, let it go, Mariettaa!¡± With his flushed face, Belvant screamed. The earnest Marietta kept her promise not to touch it with her hands, as both of her hands were crossed behind her back as she was protruding her head and butt in such an obscene pose, and then she moved her mouth fervently. The face that sometimes looked up with a curiosity was splendidly erotic, don¡¯t you think? ¡°Nn¡ª¨C!¡± The beautiful naked girl stuffed her small mouth with it and sucking it without letting it go at all. Chuu, chuu, chuu, so was the sound of her sucking red lips. ¡°Haaaaaa-!!¡± Belvant was taken aback and returned to his agony. Unconsciously, tears started to manifest, as his face turned red as if it was boiling. *chupon*, so was the sound of Marietta¡¯s lips leaving it. The plump red lips and the moist pupils, with her white body drenched in the hot water. Not only that, but her face was already looking lascivious. With sparkling eyes, she asked Belvant. ¡°By any chance, was it painful?¡± ¡°Haa¡­ No, it doesn¡¯t hurt. On the contrary, it feels really good, however.¡± Here, it was a bad move for Belvant to answer that foolishly honest. ¡°Thank goodness.¡± ¡°Marietta, that¡¯s why until the end, liste¡ªgwaah!¡± The sensitive male part was once more being wrapped up by the hot and slippery mucous membrane, and Belvant was exposed to a pleasure that could be categorized as violent, causing him to raise his voice to groan in what resembled the cries of pain. Marietta felt a salty taste inside her mouth. (Ah, I wonder if the white thing from earlier just came out?) The girl excited in her anticipation, as she desired the precious children, rubbed the tip of the rod gently with her tongue, then strongly sucked it up. Chuuuuuuuuuuuuu! The merciless Marietta sucked in all of the liquid earlier that she so wanted, for she desired children. The thing that was on the verge of exploding, was exposed to the excessively intense pleasure without the least resistance. ¡°Aah, coming¡ª¡ª-¡± The scream that resembled a crying voice resounded in the bathroom. ¡°!!!!!¡± ¡­Oltaire¡¯s fierce god, has reached. Marietta, who was holding her mouth with both of her hands, hardened. This is bad. At any rate, this is bad. Even though she can¡¯t have babies if she don¡¯t drink this, on top of being slightly salty, it had a bitter taste. The lukewarm and thick liquid that was entwined inside her mouth, was something that was awfully hard to swallow. The grassy smell of it escaped her mouth and made all the way through her nose. (What should I do, even if it¡¯s something that everyone else does, no matter what, I can¡¯t swallow it. Is my love lacking power? Even though I love Sir Belvant this much, but why¡­ can¡¯t I drink it¡­?) ¡°Spit it out! Spit it! Oi, Marietta!¡± Belvant pulled her body in order to somehow make her spit out the thing inside her mouth. However, Marietta, with tears on her face, stubbornly wouldn¡¯t open her mouth. ¡°Listen well, you can¡¯t make a child by drinking that.¡± ¡°?¡± ¡°That¡¯s why, it¡¯s surely sperm, but the place where you should insert it is different, so spit it out!¡± (It is¡­ different?) Marietta opened her mouth. From her mouth, the proof of Belvant¡¯s lust flowed in a trickle, and viewing that immoral scene, once more, again, his lower part was overflowing with lust. Belvant shoved his fingers into Marietta¡¯s small mouth, and as a result, she gargled and scraped out the white turbidity. ¡°Even though it must have tasted terrible inside your mouth¡­ Really, you¡­¡± ¡°I¡­ really wanted to have Sir Belvant¡¯s baby.¡± ¡°¡­Ah, is that so?¡± ¡°I really want to quickly become Sir Belvant¡¯s wife, but¡­¡± Marietta limply grimaced. ¡°I made a mistake, huh¡­¡± Tears spilled out in large drops from her blue glass-sphere-like eyes. ¡°Sir Belvant, I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°Why are you crying? There¡¯s nothing to cry about, everyone also makes mistakes. Your mistake is adorable, so it¡¯s not a problem.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± ¡°You want to bear my child, right? I¡¯m really happy. I will teach you all about the method, and then I will make you pregnant however much you want. Give birth to lots of children, I don¡¯t mind whether they are boys or girls, give birth to as many as you want, and let¡¯s make a lively family, okay?¡± ¡°Sir Belvant, ah, uwaaaaaaan!¡± Unable to endure her feelings, Marietta broke into tears. Belvant gently hugged her and caressed her head many times over. ¡°You know, Sierra, Sir Belvant¡¯s thing, it was amazingly big!¡± Being suddenly told that, Sierra was surprised. ¡°But you know, Sir Belvant told me that we need to prepare it properly so that it won¡¯t hurt. That¡¯s right, starting from tomorrow, so that it would be able to be inserted at the wedding day.¡± ¡°I, is that so, that is good.¡± The maids, starting with Sierra, one by one turned away and gazed at the faraway place. ¡°I have never thought of putting it in such a place.¡± By the way, Marietta who had been taught gently about the woman¡¯s genitalia in the bath, somehow tried to look at her bottom and plunged her face into the hot water that she almost drowned. ¡°But, it will be okay as long as I leave it up to Sir Belvant! He really is a reliable husband, so dreamy. I¡¯m really a fortunate person!¡± I¡¯m sorry for the troublesome princess. Sierra apologized to the general in her mind. ¡°It looks like I¡¯ll be able to sleep soundly tonight.¡± Marietta cheerfully smiled and said that. At that time, Belvant was endlessly anguishing. Towards Marietta, not only was his thing got worked up and exploded twice, he also induced his male desires towards the innocent princess in succession. (Oh my, Sir Belvant¡¯s clothes sure are big!) After taking the bath, Marietta put on his shirt on top of her peach-colored body and was charmingly being delighted by it! (The thing that will go into my female parts, is it really Sir Belvant¡¯s pen¡­ uhm, I mean, that big rod? Isn¡¯t that impossible? Well, the important place that will be given the sperm, eeh, to have it being entered by it, I¡¯m feeling anxious. Ah, are you going to check it? Thank you very much, eeh, of course I will never show it to anyone other than my husband.) The bare Marietta who was only wearing the loose shirt, sat down on top of Belvant¡¯s bed and raised her knees, and once her knees opened¡­ just directly in front of his eyes, the maiden¡¯s secret, still-pink petal¡­ ¡°Gwaaaaah, once we get married, you¡¯d better prepare yourself! But before then, I will endure it! I am a warrior who¡¯s carrying the name of his country, I will show you that I can endure any kind of difficulty¨C!!¡± Basking himself starting from the head in the cold water similar to the waterfall, the General Belvant who was suppressing the hell fire breaking out tonight, as well, was a 30 years old man who was in his prime age. Author Note : Eh-, it seems that the degree of the vulgarity is increased even further, I¡¯m sorry. Once they get married, what will happen to the princess? There have been irresistible anxieties towards that these days, But as I thought, perhaps this kind of condition will continue even after she becomes a wife. Good luck, General! Chapter 26 Could It Be A Love Rival? Chapter 26 Could It Be A Love Rival? Several days after Belvant was exposed to Marietta¡¯s illiterate erotic attacks, the two of them favorably deepened their relationship in the middle of their busy schedule. The marriage preparation has been preceding smoothly under the command of Sierra, the capable maid. Speaking of Belvant¡¯s job, through yet another capable person, the lieutenant general Adlan, the work was scheduled into a no-gap allocation that made it possible to be handled perfectly. ¡°Adlan, would it be prohibited to place Marietta on my lap during the work, after all?¡± ¡°How can you be so foolishly in love?! Isn¡¯t it obvious that it was impossible, or rather, are you really the General Fargus? The fierce god of Oltaire? If you really want to meet the princess, then you must work hard!¡± Belvant roared in his grief. However, that can¡¯t be helped. For you see, in order to work out the time for the two¡¯s couple date, Adlan and Sierra¡¯s rendezvous was also reduced. Understanding that, even though Belvant¡¯s face warped to the extent that he looked like the great devil king, he followed Adlan¡¯s instructions and diligently worked. ¡°Yosh, with this, our today¡¯s duties are done. Since we have sent out an escort to the princess¡¯ place, they should be here soon, so go on and be lovey dovey to your heart¡¯s content, but don¡¯t do it until the end, that¡¯s all!¡± *knock knock* Knocking at the perfect timing, Adlan opened the door and there stood the general¡¯s beloved sweetheart. ¡°How do you do, Sir Belvant?!¡± ¡°Marietta!¡± Marietta slightly raised her dress, and Belvant approached her half-running and then held her in his arms. ¡°Alright then, I¡¯ll be dispersing from your sight, so¡­ hmm?¡± Another person came in from the same door. ¡°Long time no see, General Fargus.¡± A sexy voice that was slightly hoarse. A gorgeous beauty with her blond and wavy long hair stood there. Her figure was tall and slender, her height was about the same as Adlan. ¡°I¡¯m so glad I can meet you, Belvant.¡± It was the beginning of the storm. ¡°Well, I am not happy.¡± With a sour expression, Belvant said that. Strength filled in the hands that held Marietta. ¡°?¡± As Marietta was still clinging to Belvant¡¯s neck, she looked in turn to Belvant¡¯s expression and the suspicious-looking intruder. ¡°River, you, no matter what the circumstances may be, showing up without an appointment is rude, in addition, you¡¯re in the presence of the princess.¡± Adlan said, as his words were mixed with sigh. ¡°Oh my, what a cold thing to say. Aren¡¯t we close friends?¡± The beauty showed her bewitching smile. However, the two men showed their unpleasant expression in exchange. ¡°How could it be that in the middle of my business trip, Belvant¡¯s getting engaged?! During the time when I was diligently repairing the barriers in the middle of the intense cold area, how could you be lovey dovey to some princess?!¡± ¡°It doesn¡¯t have anything to do with you, right?¡± ¡°To say that it doesn¡¯t have anything to do with me! What a mean thing to say!¡± The beauty raised her eyebrows. ¡°Eeh, of course it has something to do with me! I, I¡­¡± ¡°Uhm, who could you be?¡± Though she doesn¡¯t follow the entire situation, yet Marietta who somehow could understand the somewhat turbulent situation, inquired Adlan with her small voice. ¡°Oh, how rude of me. Princess Marietta of the Stellaus, my name is River Link, Oltaire¡¯s Head of Magician.¡± The beauty said, with an immature attitude of standoffishly raising up her chin. ¡°Oh my, you¡¯re Miss Magician, aren¡¯t you? Pleased to meet you, I¡¯m Marietta. How do you do, Miss Link?¡± Aloofly pulling Belvant¡¯s clothes, Marietta was let off to the ground, and while elegantly bowing, she courteously introduced herself. The Head of Magician is an existence who¡¯s largely involved with the country¡¯s protection. ¡°Thank you for your courteousness. I have always had the privilege of being close to Belvant.¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a relationship of work, right? Don¡¯t say anything unnecessary.¡± ¡°Oh my, what a fine thing to say.¡± Upon sending her sidelong glance towards Belvant with her distinctly long-slitted pupils, the person towards whom it was intended for, responded with a very repulsive expression. ¡°It seems that you are my husband¡¯s colleague. From now on, please continue to treat him well.¡± ¡°Well, you seem to have quite a good composure! Oh princess, don¡¯t you mind about me at all?¡± ¡°¡­? I apologize, but, I don¡¯t understand what you mean.¡± ¡°You-know-what, I¡¯ve told you for quite a few times already that Belvant and I have a close relationship. Do you understand?¡± ¡°Yes. It¡¯s a wonderful thing, don¡¯t you think?¡± ¡°Hold it right there! Isn¡¯t that weird?!¡± ¡°What is?¡± ¡°You are supposed to be jealous there! You should get angry! [Just what kind of relationship do you have¨C] something like that!¡± ¡°Uhm¡­ it¡¯s a relationship between men, isn¡¯t it? I won¡¯t get jealous by that.¡± Marietta smiled sweetly. ¡°Because Miss Link is really a man, after all.¡± ¡°! ¡­You¡¯ve seen through me so well, huh.¡± The beautiful person who¡¯s holding one¡¯s love towards Belvant, River Link was an effeminate man. ¡°Ah man-, here I thought you¡¯d show even a little sign of jealousy by shaking you up, how boring!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry. However, I can¡¯t help but be anxious just by being carried by Sir Belvant, so please pardon me for that matter.¡± ¡°Marietta, there is no need for you to seriously follow on River Link¡¯s teasing.¡± ¡°Oh my, hmm, let¡¯s not say something like that, okay?¡± It is scary to wound my maiden heart, you know. ¡°Hey, dear cute princess, it is indeed troublesome that these days lots of glamourous females followed this person, right?¡± ¡°Yes! It looks like I have lots of rivals in love.¡± ¡°Then, the princess¡¯ cuteness should be polished even further, so that Belvant would be heads over heels in love with you. I will lend you m-y h-e-l-p!¡± With his long eyelashes bordering his golden pupils, River Link winked. ¡°River Link, don¡¯t do any unnecessary interfering!¡± ¡°Oh my-, consider it as my congratulations to your engagement, so please humbly accept it.¡± River Link snapped his fingers while reciting an incantation. *Pon*! Along with the fading sound, Marietta¡¯s figure disappeared. ¡°Marietta?!¡± ¡°Stupid, River Link, what did you do?!¡± At the spot where Marietta was standing, her clothes were left on the floor. In the middle of the clothes, something moved. ¡°¡­Mi?¡± What appeared from the dress¡¯ collar was a small, as small as it could even climb on Belvant¡¯s palm, a white kitten. ¡°Mi? Mi?¡± ¡°Isn¡¯t-she-cute-? It¡¯s okay, the magic will be broken by this evening, so until then, enjoy yourself, play and stroke this cute little cat. I think that skinship is very important between lovers.¡± Wrong, the skinship that I wish for, is not this kind of a thing. Wanting to say that, Belvant grinded his teeth. ¡°Mi.¡± Right on top of his palm, a white kitten with her round blue eyes sat there. Since it was still so small, it couldn¡¯t cry out ¡®nyaan¡¯, making it more adorable. The kitten seemed to respond to River Link¡¯s words of skinship. ¡°Mi!¡± She squirmed and crawled out of Belvant¡¯s palm, climbing up on his arm with one breath, and got on top of his shoulder. Just like that, she rubbed her face against Belvant¡¯s face. The kitten narrowed her eyes and seemed to be happy. ¡°Oh my, no way, so cute! Even though I¡¯m reluctant to say it, but this kid, is awfully adorable. You really love Belvant to that extent, huh?¡± ¡°River Link, it¡¯s because the couple that you teased was originally a lovey dovey one, these two.¡± ¡°It looks like so¡­ Here I thought I should pester them a lot, but since they were already foolish, then it should be enough. Then, let¡¯s play again some time! I should go and deliver my report to the king now.¡± ¡°You prioritized teasing over the king?!¡± ¡°Well then, that magic doesn¡¯t have any kind of side effect, so you can peacefully h-a-v-e f-u-n~!¡± Saying that meaningfully, the noisy effeminate magician left the room. ¡°He truly is a troublesome person, huh. But well, his ability is trustworthy, so there shouldn¡¯t be any harm done, right?¡± ¡°For me, he¡¯s done plenty of harm, though!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t give up, Belvant. Well then, I still have work to do, so please calm down and play with the little cat.¡± I can¡¯t accept it! This time, while his back was being climbed on, Belvant heaved a sigh. ¡°Yosh, Mary, come and get it!¡± ¡°Mii!¡± Belvant lied on top of his bed while throwing away the rounded scraps of papers, while the small kitten ran in high spirits, launching several cat punches on top of the floor and caught the rolled paper with her mouth, then she returned to Belvant¡¯s place while jumping. ¡°Mi! Mi!¡± ¡°Yosh yosh, what a good girl! You did it skillfully.¡± When he gently patted the cat¡¯s head, she narrowed her eyes as if she was feeling good. Then, as if she was saying to do it again, she begged, [Mi!] while poking the paper. Even while he was being quite reluctant. Belvant was still having fun. ¡°Aaah, how cute, Mary is this world¡¯s most adorable cat.¡± The fierce god of Oltaire, where have you gone to? ¡°Mi! Mi!¡± As if to say hurry up and throw it, the kitten playfully bit Belvant¡¯s fat fingers. ¡°Oi, oi, even if you nibbled on my fingers, they don¡¯t taste good, you know?¡± This time, while holding Belvant¡¯s fingers, she furiously did a cat kick with her back paws. Belvant scooped up the cat and rubbed her cheeks. ¡°You are so fluffy! Even when Mary becomes a cat, you¡¯re still so adorable!¡± There was a reason as to why Belvant was madly in love with the kitten. As you see, he is the man called as the great devil king that can even make a child cry and run away with their bare feet in fear. Small animals that are perceptive will immediately run away, if they don¡¯t escape, they will face him with earnestly with their fangs. No matter how cute they are, he can never touch them. So, obviously he would become emotionally attached towards the kitten who was being affectionate with him. However, as part of his reasoning is still intact, he doesn¡¯t go on and spout affectionate baby talk just like, [What a goody, goody girl are you~] ¡°Mii! Mii! Mii!¡± Suddenly, the kitten began to cry out intensely. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Is the magic disappearing?¡± While slightly feeling disappointed, Belvant asked. ¡°Mi-, nyaan!¡± On top of the bed, the kitten grew. Then, before one even noticed, her body grew big¡­ ¡°¡­wha, what?¡± ¡°Nyaan~¡± ¡°Wha, what, is this?!¡± ¡°Unyaaaan!¡± Just right over there. Being naked with a white cat ears, also, the long white cat tail remained, Marietta sat down while slightly tilted her head to look up at Belvant. Author¡¯s Note : This is the dreadful trap that the effeminate man, River Link laid for the two of them. Will the fierce god of Oltaire be able to fight against the temptation of the cat ears and meowing? Look forward to it, in the next chapter! (Laugh) Chapter 27 The Dangerous Kitten Chapter 27 The Dangerous Kitten ¡°Marietta, that kind of appearance is¡­ could it be a curse? A curse directed towards me?¡± Towards the excessively charming form of his fiancee who was sitting on the bed with one of her legs out to the side, Belvant¡¯s voice quivered. ¡°Nya?¡± The naked beauty raised her voice in wonder, then she looked at her own palm and grabbed the white cat ears that sprung up from her head. Just like that, her mouth turned down at the corners forming the shape of ¤Ø (the character of ¡°he¡± in Japanese¡¯s kana alphabet), as she quizically massaged her fluffy ears. While massaging her ears, she looked at Belvant with her upturned eyes, as if asking, [what is this?]. ¡°Gwaah!¡± Suddenly falling madly in love with the white cat Mary, Belvant whose heart¡¯s barricade fell due to the sudden visual attack that was being pushed in front of him, received a hard blow due to it. He raised an unusual voice, retreated and placed both of his hands on the bed. ¡°Nya? Nyaa? Nyaaaaa?¡± Apparently, Marietta was unable to talk and was perplexed by it. Also, since she was in the form of a perfect cat up until now, she was in the condition of not feeling any resistance to being naked, and so her plump bulging breasts, her tense slender waist, and her round buttocks were freely exposed to Belvant¡¯s eyes. ¡°Nyan!¡± Somehow, she felt that it was enjoyable to observe Belvant¡¯s face, and so Marietta tilted her head and laughed. The self-unconscious beauty, Princess Marietta, today as well, will be scraping off Belvant¡¯s self-control. Belvant tried to run away from the innocent yet voluptuous girl with the cat ears, and Marietta approached him while crawling on all fours. She leaned forward to Belvant who was ready to flee. ¡°Nyaan¡± ¡°No, uhm¡­ Marietta? Please properly wear your¡­¡± ¡°Nyan!¡± Her supple arms were entangled to his neck, Marietta who leaned her whole body against Belvant, rubbed her cheeks to him. *rub rub rub*. Even though he felt that the action was just adorable when she did the same thing as Mary the kitten, but as of right now, her cat eared figure changed it into an atrocious temptation, stirring up Belvant¡¯s carnal desire. ¡°Nyaaaaaan-!¡± Although he couldn¡¯t understand her words, he somehow could understand what Marietta wanted to say. (Sir Belvant, I love you-!) Is what she wanted to convey, this adorable princess. ¡°No, enough, it would be impossible for me to withstand this any longer-! So cute-!¡± He hugged the naked Marietta tightly, and kissed her fervently. Marietta with her perfect round blue eyes, before long responded to Belvant¡¯s kiss with a great joy. After kissing for a while, Belvant caught a glimpse of the cat ears that sprung up from Marietta¡¯s head, and at that moment, he reached out his hand. ¡°What¡¯s up with these ears?¡± ¡°Nyaan-¡° Marietta whose ears were grabbed by Belvant, twisted around while purring. ¡°It¡¯s properly sticking out from your head. Is it ticklish when I touch it? It feels nice to touch¡­¡± ¡°Nyaan, aan, an¡­¡± In response to Belvant¡¯s rubbing and massaging her cat ears, Marietta¡¯s cheeks turned pink, and for some reason, she writhed and let out her voice restlessly. ¡°They¡¯re sensitive, huh.¡± Belvant gently laid down Marietta on the bed, and while he tenderly rubbed her ears, he held her breast¡¯s pointed end in his mouth and rolled it with the tip of his tongue. Marietta restlessly rubbed both of her legs, while crying out [nyan, nyan]. Taking a closer look, she¡¯s gotten completely teary-eyed, her breath was turned into rough pants, and her face was flushed. ¡°They are more sensitive than usual¡­ Could they be¡­ erogenous zone?¡± ¡°Nyaan.¡± ¡°So that means, this tail, too¡­¡± Belvant held the white tail that was growing out of her buttocks, and just like that, he stroked it up to the tip of her tail. ¡°Nya, nyaaaa-¡° ¡°¡­Looks like it feels good.¡± Looking at Marietta¡¯s state, he continued to stroke it many times over. Marietta showed a fervent reaction every time. ¡°Here, how is it?¡± ¡°Nyaaaaaaaaaaaaa¨C!¡± Marietta bent her body while letting out a remarkably loud voice, and laid down on the bed in her exhaustion. ¡°Don¡¯t tell me that you just came?¡± ¡°U¡­ unyaa¡­¡± Marietta was glaring back at Belvant with tears in her eyes, and her face looked as if she was just given a strong pleasure that was already in the middle of dissolving. Her lips were half-opened, and her pink tongue was coming out. ¡°Did I tease you too far? Yosh, yosh.¡± Belvant laughed as he hugged Marietta who was completely exhausted, and she rubbed on her face against Belvant¡¯s shirt. After that, she seemed to be grumbling a little bit and pulled his shirt tightly. Marietta loves rubbing against Belvant¡¯s muscular chest. ¡°Are you not satisfied that I didn¡¯t take off my clothes? But, if I were to take off my clothes, I wouldn¡¯t be able to restrain myself.¡± ¡°Nyan!¡± ¡°Whoa!¡± Marietta who seemed to be under the influence of the magic was getting more aggressive. She carelessly leaped upon Belvant, pushed him down on the bed and started to take off his clothes. ¡°Nyaan, nyaan!¡± ¡°You are being quite aggressive, huh. Is this also the effect of the magic?¡± She quickly unfastened the shirt¡¯s buttons, snuggled up to his chest, and absentmindedly sniffed on his smell. ¡°Nyaan¡­¡­¡± ¡°Stop¡­ please, Mary.¡± Sensing that this might turn out bad, Belvant pulled away himself from touching Marietta¡¯s body, but then he stopped when his right hand felt a lukewarm sensation. Just like that, he gently brushed the area between Marietta¡¯s legs. It was wet. He closed his eyes, and gazed up to the sky. He has been living through numerous scenes of carnage, and during the times of danger, he would always gaze up to the sky. It doesn¡¯t mean that he¡¯s trying to pray to the god. He¡¯s just trying to find out the path he¡¯s supposed to take, in order to be able to calmly abide the destiny, without any raging thoughts in his mind. Gazing up at the sky, free from any obstructive thoughts. In the middle of that, Marietta, driven by an animal¡¯s instinct, diligently stripped Belvant¡¯s clothes off while meowing. ¡°Nyaan.¡± Finally his pants and even his underwear, everything was taken off by her hands, and Belvant who was naked on top of the bed, was facing Marietta. His thing, too, was also gazing up at the sky. ¡°I¡¯m begging you, so, please just don¡¯t play with that.¡± ¡°Nyan?¡± The white cat didn¡¯t know the danger of the ejaculation, so she tilted her head in confusion, wondering why she can¡¯t play with the fascinatingly springing up toy. He once again pushed Marietta down on to the bed, and seized her round and white knees. He pushed them open gently, in order not to cause any pain, and the sound of something wet could be heard, as the soft pink petal was finally exposed. ¡°Nyaa¡­n¡­¡± Marietta was meowing out of her bewilderment. ¡°It¡¯s so pretty. Just like a rose drenched in nectar¡­¡± Belvant put his face closer to that area, and extended his tongue. ¡°I will try to be gentle so it won¡¯t hurt¡­¡± Marietta who was being done by Belvant, looked at him while wondering why would he even bring his face near that kind of place. Her sensitive flower bud was being licked by his tongue, and as a result, her body trembled. ¡°Nyaa, nyan, aahn.¡± Being tickled by the tongue, stirred, and then rolled by it, Marietta¡¯s small protuberance was being teased, her breath was getting rougher, and the voice of the heavy breathing that escaped her mouth was changing. ¡°Nya, a, a, aan, iyaan.¡± As if her consciousness was being covered up in the haze up until now, Marietta was suddenly filled up with shyness and restrained Belvant¡¯s arms. ¡°I, it¡¯s embarrassing, Sir Belvant!¡± ¡°Ah, it looks like the magic¡¯s been removed.¡± After saying that, Belvant¡¯s face could be seen from between her legs, and as he was radiating a male¡¯s appeal, it caused Marietta¡¯s heart to beat faster. ¡°P, please don¡¯t put your face into such a place.¡± ¡°Why?¡± ¡°Because it¡¯s something that shouldn¡¯t be shown to men, and because it¡¯s an embarrassing place to see.¡± ¡°As expected, you seem to know that much.¡± Moving the soft meat in accordance to its joint, Belvant slid in his finger, and from the completely wet place transmitted the pleasant hot feeling to Marietta¡¯s belly, and she deeply exhaled. ¡°Doesn¡¯t it feel good? Because this is something permitted only to the person who¡¯s going to be your husband, so long as you can savor the pleasant feeling, then it¡¯s good.¡± ¡°But, that¡¯s, aah¡­¡± Once again, he buried his face there and made a lewd splashing sound, tasting Marietta. Even though she was embarrassed, it couldn¡¯t be helped. She succumbed to the pleasant feeling similar to an itchy feeling, writhing around her body that was being done. ¡°I just put my finger inside of you.¡± ¡°Inside of me?¡± ¡°The place that should receive my sperm is here. Look.¡± ¡°Aah¡­¡± Belvant¡¯s fat middle finger was slightly buried inside Marietta¡¯s hot and tender hole. ¡°¡­It¡¯s narrow, as expected.¡± The nectar was pushing its way through, as it was the first time a man¡¯s finger intruded that place. ¡°Ahn, I¡¯m feeling weird¡­¡± ¡°If it¡¯s tough with just one finger, then it must be hard for my thing.¡± In order not to cause Marietta any pain, he slowly took his finger in and out. The wet path of the mucous membrane was still inexperienced with the thing that men and women do. However, by instinct, it twined around his finger, trying to drag it into its narrow depths. It seems that Marietta¡¯s whole body including that, loves Belvant so much it can¡¯t be helped. ¡°¡­Really, you¡¯re so¡­ adorable¡­¡± While taking his finger in and out, Belvant used his lips and tongue to caress Marietta¡¯s female parts. As he rubbed the insides in order to loosen it up, the thick nectar began to overflow, and it already soaked the bed. Whether he was willing or not, against that flavor and sweet fragrant, Belvant¡¯s lust was enhanced, and no matter how much he¡¯s proud of his steel willpower, his male part was stiffly soaring, to the extent that it hurt. ¡°Sir Belvant, will you, give me, a baby?¡± While crying out, Marietta asked. ¡°No, not yet. Even if we are engaged, if I were to deflower you now, your reputation will be tainted.¡± ¡°Reputation?¡± ¡°Even if it¡¯s your first time, but you might get pregnant. That¡¯s why, it¡¯s better if we wait until we are married.¡± ¡°¡­Yes.¡± The dejected Marietta was so adorable, that Belvant was barely able to restrain his desire to commit the deed right at this moment. (I can¡¯t hurt Marietta because of my obscene desires, I shouldn¡¯t let that happen, I need to limit and endure it!) Slicing off the image of River Link¡¯s face that floated in his mind into pieces, his attention was drawn towards Marietta¡¯s female part that was gleaming, and his own sword was somehow warped and put between Marietta¡¯s closed legs.1 (Don¡¯t put it in! You shouldn¡¯t put it in no matter what!) With his rising thing being tucked in between her thighs that covered her wet secret place, Belvant grimaced while waving his hips back and forth. Thinking that his own part was rubbing the adorable Marietta¡¯s important place, his body got excited at once. ¡°Kh, Marietta!¡± ¡°Ah, ah, ahh¡­¡± Each time Belvant¡¯s personification of lust made a round trip, during which it rubbed the good places each time, Marietta screamed, and before long, her worn out body trembled and reached. At the same time, a hot white liquid was scattered all over her body. ¡°¡­Ah, haa¡­¡± Belvant whose breathing turned rough, heaved a sigh due to his own weakness, then he collapsed besides Marietta with a thud. ¡°¡­Sorry, Marietta. For making your body dirty¡­¡± She casted her face sideways with her mind still being faint. ¡°I, don¡¯t really understand what¡¯s happening, but I love everything that Sir Belvant gives me.¡± ¡°¡­¡± ¡°You will only do these kinds of things with me alone, right?¡± Looking at the innocent Marietta who¡¯s laughing happily, Belvant felt like he was about to cry somehow, and then he kissed his beloved fianc¨¦e. ¡°I¡¯m the happiest man in this world.¡± Chapter 28 The Real Crisis Chapter 28 The Real Crisis As the two of them managed to nurture their love steadily, though it gave an adverse effect to Belvant¡¯s soul that couldn¡¯t persevere any more than this, and we all knew that if he was careless, he could even wreck the Oltaire country with his overflowing libido. With the said condition, at last, it is now three days before their marriage ceremony. The wedding dress is simple but refined, especially tailored in Oltaire¡¯s competent atelier. When they ran another fitting to check the dress, somehow her breasts got bigger again, causing the two white swellings to be wedged into the breasts¡¯ cut line, and since they need to display the image of a pure bride more than a sexy bride, the dress was taken back into the hands of reparation in a hurry. ¡°Well, as expected of Sir Belvant, he really made my breasts bigger. To think that the effect of the massages will be this significant.¡± Marietta put her hands on her rose-colored cheeks and smiled happily. ¡°And recently, when I try to jump, they are jiggling more, ufufu. From now on, I¡¯m looking forward to their further growth.¡± ¡°My lady, I understand, so please stop jumping repeatedly there. Also, regarding the matter of the massages, you must never talk about it outside. Please stop recommending the massage to your friends, as well.¡± (No matter how you look at it, the sudden growth spur of the princess¡¯ breasts, it¡¯s no doubt that the pervert general has done some completely nasty things towards the princess who knew nothing! ¡­The princess herself seems to be content, which is considered to be a good thing, but¡­) Sierra, who has also been taught various nasty things by Adlan, couldn¡¯t bring herself to get angry any more than that. (Really, those knights of Oltaire! ¡­Certainly, their muscles are dreamy, but their strength for needless things is also troublesome.) Before one knows, Marietta¡¯s muscle fetish influenced Sierra who didn¡¯t even notice it herself.

Princess, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°I¡¯m sorry, but Miss Sierra, the arrangements over here are still not yet¡­¡± Sierra, who tried to accompany Marietta, was called out by another maid. ¡°Ah, is that so? I thought that it¡¯s done, but seems like there are still other unexpected things to do, huh. ¡­Uhm, well then, Miss Lisa, can you please take care of Princess Marietta?¡± ¡°Understood, please leave it to me. Well then, Princess, over here.¡± Amidst the chaotic preparation, without chattering as much, Marietta was being led by the maid, Lisa towards the royal palace grounds. Then, as they headed to a path without anyone there. ¡°Princess, please excuse me.¡± Just as the woman who was leading the way turned around, the man quickly approached Marietta and suddenly pressed a wet cloth against Marietta¡¯s mouth. ¡°?!¡± When the surprised Marietta inhaled a breath, for some reason, the strong smell of medicinal herbs filled her lungs, and just like that, she lost her consciousness. (¡­What was that just now?! This is bad!) Oltaire¡¯s Head of Magician, River Link, whose specialty is at defense magic and barrier development, analyzed the magic that he felt for a moment inside the royal palace grounds, and ran towards the general¡¯s place. ¡°Belvant! Someone used a glamour magic nearby, please quickly confirm the safety of the key people!¡± When she came to, Marietta was shaking inside a shabby carriage. She was thrown on the carriage¡¯s floor with her hands tied behind, and then she groaned from the pain she felt in her body. ¡°Have you come to?¡± The man who was supposed to escort Marietta was sitting on the seat. However, he has already taken off his knight uniform, and is now wearing some plain and inconspicuous clothes. ¡°Oh, you are¡­ the one that I just became acquainted with, not too long ago.¡± Yes, when she was being called out, she thought that he was certainly a member of Oltaire¡¯s knights, so she was not being cautious, but now when she tries to inspect him once more, it¡¯s truly a face that she has no recollection of. ¡°Who are you?¡± ¡°You do understand that there¡¯s no way I¡¯d answer that, right?¡± ¡°¡­As I expected, did I¡­ really get abducted?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± It was an answer devoid of intonation. ¡°We have no grudge against you, but there are people who wish to hinder this marriage ceremony.¡± The man coldly said that, with an expression devoid of emotion. ¡°It can¡¯t be helped. Getting into things like this is the risk that someone with a social position must bear. Just give it up.¡± What the man said is the truth, so Marietta could only bite her lips. Being used as a pawn in politics. Going into a political marriage of convenience. Having their life targeted. They are the indispensable parts of being born into the royal family. However, although she is prepared for it, it¡¯s still something she can¡¯t really comprehend. With a trembling voice, Marietta said. ¡°What are you going to do to me?¡± ¡°Who knows. My job is only to take you to the arranged place. I don¡¯t have any clue on what will happen afterwards.¡± Marietta despaired. Wanting to hinder the marriage means that there is no way they would let Marietta return to Belvant¡¯s side. In other words, the ringleader intended to kill Marietta. I will be killed, right? Aah, just when I thought I was going to become Belvant¡¯s wife, now I won¡¯t be able to see him again. Marietta is an adorable princess who was raised preciously. She doesn¡¯t have the ability to fight during time like this. If there is no one by her side to protect her, there is no way she can escape from a danger. Tears began to overflow from Marietta¡¯s eyes, who was lying down on the floor. ¡°¡­Kh, is it okay, for me, to cry, just for a bit?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind.¡± ¡°¡­Uuu, Sir Belvant, I wanted, to become your bride, Sir Belvant¡­¡± As Marietta continued to call out the name of the person she wanted to meet the most, her tears fell down on the carriage¡¯s floor, and she heaved with sobs. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, for not being able to see you again, I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°¡­¡­¡± Whether he pitied Marietta who was crying like a child, or if he didn¡¯t want a pool of water to form on the floor, the man put a piece of cloth under Marietta¡¯s cheeks. ¡°T, thank you, so much.¡± Even while crying, Marietta sincerely thanked the man who abducted her. ¡°¡­Lisa, what about my maid¡­?¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t take her life. I only hid her away.¡± ¡°¡­thank goodness¡­¡± After confirming the safety of the maid that got involved in the situation, Marietta thought of Belvant once more and cried. After traveling for a while, the carriage stopped in front of a small cabin in the middle of a forest. The man carried up Marietta with one hand as if he was carrying a luggage, opened the door and carried her inside. Inside the cabin, there are two men looking really like ruffians, lying in wait. ¡°I have fulfilled the promise. Where is the reward?¡± ¡°It¡¯s over there. Put down that woman over here.¡± On top of the wooden floor, Marietta was dropped down. ¡°The real princess, huh! She is really pretty.¡± ¡°Before we kill her, let¡¯s shower her with our full affection.¡± Towards the men who grinned and showed their vulgar smiles, Marietta sensed the horror and her body began to tremble. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be that scared, we will make you feel good.¡± ¡°That¡¯s right, we¡¯re going to take you to the heaven, little cutie.¡± ¡°Hand out the rewards to me, quickly.¡± In response to the cold and low voice, the ruffians looked daunted. ¡°What¡¯s with you, you also want to do it, don¡¯t you?¡± ¡°I have no other interest than my work.¡± ¡°Khe! Then, after you received it, go and disappear quickly!¡± ¡°I will do so.¡± As the ruffians went outside, the man also followed them¡­ but before that. ¡°I could use a little bit of magic. When I abducted you, I also used the glamour magic to make you think I was your acquaintance. That¡¯s why, I can discover the magical residue, too.¡± The man quickly muttered what was similar to a monologue. ¡°Just recently, you have been put under magic spell, right? Since it¡¯s still faintly connected to the one who put the spell, perhaps if you strongly call him out, you might be able to speak with him. So at least you could leave your last will.¡± As the man went out, the door was closed. There was the clattering sound of a key locking the door. ¡°Magic? ¡­Ah, Mister River Link?¡± A few days ago, he put a magic to make me turn into a cat. ¡°I just need to call him out strongly, right? Mister Link! Mister Link! It¡¯s Marietta!¡± Marietta tightly closed her eyes, and with her face wet from tears, she desperately continued to call out River Link¡¯s name. ¡°Mister Link, please, answer me!¡± This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

Is this Princess Marietta?) ¡°That¡¯s right, I¡¯m Marietta!¡± Although it¡¯s quite faint and distant, she certainly heard River Link¡¯s voice, and Marietta replied by relying on her recollections. (Where are you right now?) ¡°In a cabin, in the middle of a forest. I don¡¯t have much time, since I will soon be killed. That¡¯s why¡­¡± At the very least, my last will, as Marietta was about to say it, River Link interrupted her. (How is your condition right now?) ¡°I am lying down with my hands tied up.¡± Outside, there were the voices of the men laughing and speaking. (Listen well. The only thing I can do right now, is to invoke the magic that I put on you last time. I¡¯m going to turn you into a cat. Please somehow find a way to escape. Once we understand the direction, we will quickly go and save you, so please continue to run away, understand?! If you want to meet Belvant again, do your best!) There was a sound of the key being used to open the door. ¡°I understand, so please, quick.¡± From far away, she could hear the voice of River Link, chanting the incantation. The door was being opened. It gave off the sound of a click. Author¡¯s Note: The only thing that River Link could do, was to turn Marietta into a helpless little kitten! How will it turn out, Marietta?! Please wait for it, in the next chapter! Chapter 29 Marietta, Hang in There! Chapter 29 Marietta, Hang in There! The ruffians who opened the door of the shabby cabin became doubtful of their own eyes. Over there, the only remaining things are the dress that the princess was supposed to wear¡ªbeing left behind on the floor, and the rope that was used to hold the prisoner captive was neatly remained.

Did someone creep in and released her?¡± However, the cabin¡¯s door was locked, and there was no presence of anyone other than them inside. The moment the men lifted the dress up and examined it, the small white kitten who quietly concealed herself near the door, managed to leave the cabin without the men noticing, and set her feet trottingly into the forest. It was Marietta who transformed with the help of magic. When she looked at the men who finally went out of the cabin and searched the surroundings, she gradually increased her speed and went further inside the forest. Although it was suffice to say that the speed was only about the standard of an adult¡¯s semi-jogging speed.

(I have to run away, I have to run away!) As she has taken the form of a cat, her intelligence was also influenced and downgraded along with her form, and as a result, Marietta gradually became unable to understand why has she become a cat and where she should go. ¡°Mi?¡± She stopped to think about what she should be doing with her small head. The only thing she can remember is that there was something really frightening, and about the person that she really wanted to see. (I have to run away, and go to that person¡¯s place.) I want to escape from the scary place, and I want to meet that person. With those thoughts alone, the kitten advanced through the forest. ¡°¡­Mi? Mi?¡± When she proceeded forward a bit, she became unable to understand of what was going on, again. It was really scary. While trembling, she began to think again about what she should do. Then, with her teary eyes, the kitten went towards the forest with her shaky feet. (Where are you? I want to quickly see you. It¡¯s scary here.)

Marietta!¡± Belvant who urged forward on his favorite horse, Mistral, in accordance to River Link¡¯s instructions, found the cabin inside the forest. The shady men were showered with blows and were thrown down. In truth, he wanted to immediately decapitate their heads, but since Adlan reminded him to not kill them as they still need to clarify the real motive behind those kidnappers and send them to the authorized people, he spared their lives. Nevertheless, the ruffians who were struck and received the blows that the raged great devil, General Belvant Fargus gave with his whole seriousness, have reached the peak of their fear, as they have seen this world¡¯s hell, proceeded to confess everything that they know to Belvant as their whole bodies were burned with the sensation of pain from all the blows. ¡°Damn it!¡± The angry Belvant who has lost his mind, pierced his sword to the ground with a staggering sound. Accidentally, just by chance, the ruffians whose heads were close to the proximity screamed, ¡°Hiii!¡± and just like that, soaked their underpants warm. He has no doubt that around this time, Marietta is thinking that she is helpless and shivering. Belvant glanced towards the useless men, and thinking that it was indeed more risky to just kill them like this, stared at the men who were lying down at his feet. At his dreadful glance, the ruffians began to think that perhaps it would put them at ease if they were to die just like this. And at that time¡­ ¡°Belvant-!¡± Adlan and his other subordinates who mounted the horses, finally arrived. He vigorously rushed his army horse towards Belvant, leaving the others behind.

If you are seeing this, then that means you¡¯re reading from another site that simply stole our translation, and you will keep seeing this message a few times. ¡°What about the princess?¡± Adlan who nimbly went down of his horse took a glance and asked. ¡°Why don¡¯t you guess it yourself?!¡± ¡°Calm down. According to Link¡¯s instructions, she should be hiding herself in the forest, right? It¡¯s the situation that we can expect.¡± ¡°With Link¡¯s magic, Marietta turned into just a normal kitten! A delicate kitten, if some animals in the forest attacked her¡­¡± Belvant scratched his hair, imagining the dreadful situation. ¡°Where should we search for her, then?! Can¡¯t we find her using magic?¡± ¡°It seems that Link¡¯s power is bound just until here.¡± ¡°Oi, haven¡¯t you seen a cat? It¡¯s a small white kitten! Answer!¡± Belvant seized the head of the man lying on the ground, trembling due to his fear, with just one of his hand. Even if the bloodstained man¡¯s head was shaken until bubbles could be seen from his mouth, he didn¡¯t know the whereabouts of the kitten. Marietta concealed even her footsteps, and managed to skillfully run away. ¡°Don¡¯t kill! Don¡¯t kill him, Belvant!¡± Seriously, you are still reading this on another site that stole the translation? With all this disturbing text? Adlan tried to hold Belvant back, and he finally separated his hand from the man¡¯s head. The ruffian¡¯s head, who has lost his consciousness, fell on the ground. ¡°¡­that¡¯s right, Mistral!¡± Belvant entered the cabin and picked up Marietta¡¯s dress, then he went outside and thrusted it towards the snout of the army horse. ¡°Remember this smell. Bring me to where the owner of this smell is, okay?¡± ¡°That¡¯s absurd.¡± Adlan reflexively spouted his comment, but Belvant, who was cornered, seriously said that. ¡°If it¡¯s you, then you can do it! Understand, Mistral?¡± The general¡¯s horse cried out to answer, and Belvant leaped on the saddle. Then, the two of them entered the forest. ¡°You are totally serious?! Like master, like horse. Please somehow find the princess. The others should also split into groups and begin searching! It¡¯s a small white kitten!¡± Adlan who followed Belvant¡¯s back until it was out of his sight, issued the instructions to the subordinates. (For heaven¡¯s sake, please stay safe, princess. If not, the general would go mad that he would ruin this country¡¯s outskirts.) A person with power, should he use his power in the wrong direction, would become a living murder weapon. Adlan was pretending to be calm, but deep inside, he was earnestly worried over the war that might happen.

Something was targetting her. She instinctively jumped at the nearby tree and began to claw her way up. Simultaneously, sharp claws were digged into the spot where the kitten was at. The kitten didn¡¯t turn back, she just continued her way up. After she managed to climb up until the nearby slender twig that was around 3 meters high, for the first time she looked down, and noticed that she just barely managed to escape a dangerous situation. Over there, a lone wolf was staring back at the prey, as it turned round and round and growled. ¡°Mi¡­¡± The kitten was overwhelmed with fear, and she digged her claws into the twig. It seems that the wolf is planning to make the small prey as his dessert. However, since climbing the tree was originally not its forte, it only walked round and round the tree¡¯s surroundings while thinking on how it could get its claws on the kitten. ¡°Mi!¡± There was no more twig that she could climb up to, so the kitten raised her voice in fear. Eventually, the wolf who¡¯s determined to get her, made use of its jumping power and jumped while targetting the tree¡¯s twig. It attacked the twig with its front legs, and then it violently shook the twig. The kitten was frantically clinging on the twig. ¡°Mi, mi!¡± (Scary, so scary!) The twig would surely fall down by the next attack. This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

If the wolf were a human, it would be grinning by now. Without giving any sign of leeway, the wolf sprung up once again. The wolf¡¯s front legs strongly stroke the twig, breaking the root of the twig that the kitten was holding on to. The kitten was thrown down to the ground along with the twig. But fortunately enough, the heavy twig fell down first, and the light-weighted kitten didn¡¯t seem to get hurt at all. ¡°Mi.¡± The kitten who fell down to the ground removed her claws from the twig and tried to escape, but before that, the ruthless wolf stood in her way. The wolf opened its mouth to the extent that it was as if its ears were burst open, showing off his sharp fangs, and drool drooped from its mouth. ¡°¡­Mi?¡± (Is it over for me?) The kitten who felt that everything was over, closed her blue eyes, and tears dropped from them. (I wanted to return. I wanted to go back to your place, but¡­) Inside the form of a kitten, Marietta thought of her beloved person. Near their place, a cold aura could be felt. The wolf¡¯s wild instinct noticed the danger, and although it was so close to his attempt in gulping the kitten, the wolf halted its movement. ¡°Don¡¯t touch that kitten.¡± This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

The small animals near the vicinity simultaneously ran away. The trees that shouldn¡¯t be able to move, were shaking although it was not windy, trying to get away from the dreadful existence. ¡°That¡¯s my kitten. Understand that, you mongrel?¡± The wolf couldn¡¯t understand the human language. It only sensed the tremendous dismay in that tone of voice, and folded its tail between its thighs. The terrifying existence mounting a huge horse went down to the ground easily at such a height.

I will be killed, I will be killed, I will be killed¡­ ¡°Kyu, kyuuun¡­¡± The wolf cried out a miserable voice that it never did ever since it was born, and threw itself down on the ground, showing its belly. At least, if you want to kill me, finish it off quickly! At least, if you want to read this novel, consider reading it in the original site as a way to give your support to the translation, or just a way to say thanks. Be nice and civil since you get this for free. That stomach was then nudged by the tip of his leather boots. ¡°Hey, dog, go elsewhere. You¡¯re a nuisance.¡± The wolf who was rolled over upside down stopped its miserable cry. G, gotta escape! G, gotta read this in the original site! Show the translator some support so that I can read more! As he turned aside adroitly, the wolf quickly ran at full speed towards the deep ends of the forest. It still couldn¡¯t believe that its life was spared. This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

The kitten who closed her eyes tightly was rolling into a small ball and her body trembled. She somewhat understood that an unknown dreadful existence was nearby, but she didn¡¯t have any way to defense herself. The one that may want to eat her isn¡¯t only the wolf, right now. (T/N: Oh yeah, you got that right, girl. That dreadful existence also wants to eat you, but¡­ in another way ( ?¡ã ?? ?¡ã)). *nudge, nudge* Something was nudging the kitten who was like a round furball. D, don¡¯t! Don¡¯t steal my content, you thief!! ¡°Are you okay?¡± The cold atmosphere that was being let out by the dreadful existence until just now disappeared. The kitten noticed that she was being raised, and she gently turned up her face. ¡°Marietta?¡± A huge human was there, and she was riding on top of his big palm. ¡°Are you hurt? Are you alright?¡± ¡°Mi?¡± Because that person spoke with such a gentle voice, the kitten¡¯s fear was a little bit relieved. ¡°Do you recognize me? Sorry to scare you, but everything¡¯s alright now. Let¡¯s go home together.¡± The man removed a few of his coat¡¯s buttons, and took the kitten inside. It was warm and comfortable inside, so the kitten only let her head out from there. When she showed her head, a big hand brushed her head gently. ¡°You did well, Mary.¡± This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

Did he detect her smell? Awesome¡­ And of course, the princess is safe, right?¡± ¡°Yeah, as you can see.¡± ¡°¡­¡± (A brooch made of a kitten¡¯s severed head? It¡¯s scary, and it really doesn¡¯t suit him.) Upon seeing the face of the adorable white kitten in Belvant¡¯s chest, Adlan felt relieved, but at the same time, he was thinking about that.

Please take her out and let me examine her a bit.¡± ¡°No, wait, it will be troublesome if she were to turn back into a human here.¡± He cannot afford to have the bare body of his fiancee being exposed. That is how they moved into Belvant¡¯s room which is located inside the castle. Belvant then tucked her body in a sheet, and said, ¡°Yosh!¡± ¡°Wait, can you please stop ordering me around like a dog?¡± ¡°Haha, can you please stop reading this at a site that stole content? And show the translator some love and support?¡± Though he was complaining, River Link snapped his fingers and chanted an incantation towards the kitten. ¡°Mi?¡± ¡°Oh my?¡± The kitten didn¡¯t return to being a human. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Belvant rolled up the sheets and asked River Link in a low voice. ¡°Why won¡¯t she turn back? Ah¡­¡± The kitten jumped off the bed, and climbed Belvant¡¯s leg up with her claws without any reservation, and once again crawled into his chest and let out only her head. ¡°Mi.¡± The severed head brooch is now ready. When River Link brought his face closer, he received a cat punch on the tip of his nose. (T/N : I really want to call it neko punch instead of cat punch, lol) ¡°What cute paws¡­ or nah, it seems that this child is feeling really frightened. The magic power was going around this area, and her transformation couldn¡¯t be undone.¡± When River Link mentioned ¡®around this area¡¯, he turn his fingers round and round, in front of the kitten¡¯s nose, and Mary who was amused by it , consecutively attacked River Link¡¯s finger with her cat punch. ¡°Kyaaa, she¡¯s being playful! So cute-!¡± ¡°She is cute-, not that! What are we going to do? Will my bride remain a cat all her life?

Nah, I was just joking. Please don¡¯t send me death rays from your eyes. Once she has calmed down, she will surely return to normal. So, just be affectionate with the princess until she has calmed down.¡± ¡°That, don¡¯t be so irresponsible!¡± ¡°For there is love, there will be a way~. Well then, I will go and get the ruffians that Adlan fetched, and invesigate the ones behind the princess¡¯ abduction. By the time your marriage is finished, the Gouda country should resign themselves, but since their mischief was too much, I thought to give them a little punishment. I will make sure to avenge the princess¡¯ grievance, so please leave it to me, okay, Miss Marietta~!¡± ¡°Mi.¡± Incidentally, the country of Gouda speculated that the strong connection between Oltaire and Stellaus would become a political disadvantage for them, and they were the mastermind behind the assault on Marietta, just right before her wedding. ¡°In that case, I will participate in punishing them, too.¡± ¡°If you are involved, a war might occur and it would be a serious trouble, so please let it go this time. In exchange, Adlan and I will thoroughly deliver their punishment.¡± When they said that the two of them would thoroughly do that, then they should be able to beat them down quite considerably, so although quite reluctant, Belvant entrusted that matter to them. Leaving that aside, the problem right now is about Marietta. ¡°¡­What a poor thing.

Belvant¡¯s expression was quite miserable. By the way, even with his miserable expression, it is still a scary-looking face that it is very likely that he could chase the burglars away should he was set at the entranceway. Adlan who is slightly more experienced with women than Belvant, tilted his head while thinking of an advice to give. ¡°Since she¡¯s being haunted by scary thoughts, wouldn¡¯t it be fine if you were to console her and help her to relax?

Just go and accompany the kitten, and I don¡¯t mind if you want to be all lovey dovey with it or get gloomy.¡± ¡®Shoo, shoo!¡¯ Adlan drove them away with his hands, and so Belvant, along with the kitten who peeked from his chest, returned to the room.

Oh well, though she is a cat, she is still Marietta.¡± Belvant headed to the bathroom and took off his clothes. Incidentally, out of Adlan¡¯s consideration, the bathtub in Belvant¡¯s house could be entered 24 hours1 This is coherence to the strategy to make him get along with Marietta and be lovey dovey with her as much as possible. Belvant took off his coat, and let down the kitten who was firmly clinging to his shirt. ¡°Mi?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s wash together thoroughly. Actually I wanted to try washing you thoroughly when you are in your human form, but¡­¡± Oy, oy, Belvant!! Please, be moderate lol XD ¡°Mi!¡± Cats are the kind of animals that dislike water, but it might be either due to she was formerly a human, or since she trusted Belvant at the same time, Mary the kitten entered the bathtub and enjoyed the steamy hot water. With one piece of his underwear, Belvant went to relax on the bed along with the kitten. ¡°Mary¡­ how cute.¡± ¡°Mi?¡± Due to the excessive cuteness, he reflexively kissed her. ¡°Mi? Mi? Nya, nyaan.¡± As soon as he thought that the kitten¡¯s figure became blurry, over there, sitting on the bed, was Marietta with cat ears. ¡°Marietta! I am glad! The magic has been removed.¡± ¡°Nyaan.¡± Belvant hugged Marietta, and he quickly stopped moving. ¡°¡­this is¡­ quite bad.¡± ¡°Nnyaan.¡± Although Marietta was squirming happily.

When Marietta came to sit over Belvant¡¯s lap who was sitting on the bed and snuggled up her body to him, the two swellings with tapered ends that just recently grew, and her private place which was slightly wet, also rubbed Belvant¡¯s body. Belvant¡¯s thing that was glued very closely to his beloved fiancee, coupled with the comforting sensation, began to emphasis its own existence by rising up. At this rate, it wouldn¡¯t stop with just kissing, as he wanted to push her down, do various things, and be very affectionate to her. Wouldn¡¯t it be okay, though? Since she would be his wife the day after tomorrow. Since we have no knowing on what will happen in life, wouldn¡¯t it be okay to just do it when you can do it? No, no, with that kind of selfish desire, you would go as far as defiling Marietta who was supposed to be a pure, innocent bride? Just for what reason have I been trying to endure it up until now? Are you going to commit such a disgraceful act, General Belvant Fargus?

Marietta didn¡¯t think of anything and rubbed her face at Belvant¡¯s muscular chest like a spoiled child. ¡°Nya?¡± Chuku chuku chuku ¡°Aah, Marietta! Not over there!¡± Simultaneously as his body trembled, Belvant involuntarily let out a miserable voice. Marietta was sticking to his nipples, and was superbly sucking them with her mouth and tongue. ¡°Sto, please let me go.¡± With that kind of stimulus, his thing was rapidly growing and becoming hard. Marietta herself had no desire to instigate a man, she only acted on a kitten¡¯s instinct to receive milk by sticking on the nipples and pushing the nipples with the opposite hand, but unfortunately for Belvant, it turned out to be the pinpoint of his ambushed place. ¡°Mary, you¡¯re a good girl, so can you please stop doing that?¡± ¡°Nnyaann.¡± This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

Finally, after dragging her ears, Marietta parted ways from his chest. ¡°T, that was dangero¡­ Mary! What are you?!¡± Marietta who was pulling apart from his chest, noticed Belvant¡¯s swelling thing which is located just below his hips, somehow managed to unfasten the underwear¡¯s string and pulled it out! ¡°Nyaan!¡± ¡°Aah, don¡¯t play with it! That¡¯s not a toy!¡± Marietta whose ears were once more grabbed and having her body seemingly about to be pulled apart from Belvant, wriggled her body and opened her mouth, seized that thing with both hands and held it in her mouth. ¡°Uwaaaaaaa!¡± The waves of attacks rushing down on him in succession, and Belvant who was being toyed with, was at his wits¡¯ end. ¡°Stop it, it feels, good¡­ aah, if you touch me like that, kuuh, how mortifying!¡± Marietta continued to suck it with her tongue by instinct, while Belvant continued to sink deeper to the bottom.

I¡¯m so glad.¡± After bathing Marietta and putting her on his shirt which has been cleanly washed, Belvant called Marietta¡¯s maid. As the person in charge for magic, River Link also came along. In the back room, Marietta changed into the dress that Sierra brought over, and came to the living room in which the tea¡¯s been laid out. ¡°I¡¯m glad that we made it in time for the ceremony. Was it all thanks to Belvant¡¯s love? Good grief, I¡¯m offended, but you two are a really good couple. Did you receive lots of his love?¡± ¡°Well, Sir River Link, it¡¯s embarrasing. I only remember the things from when I turned into a kitten vaguely. I wonder if I caused any trouble for Sir Belvant during that time?¡± ¡°There is no problem in particular.¡± Belvant said that, while turning to Marietta and smiled like a wise man. ¡°No way, for Belvant to show that kind of smile! I was surprised. Isn¡¯t it good, that a nice bride finally came for you? I¡¯m quite envious, but since you two will be together for many years to come by, I¡¯m wishing you two happiness. Tell me right away if you start feeling bored and weary, as I will turn you into an adorable kitten again.¡± ¡°She is indeed adorable as a kitten. However, I refuse.¡± Belvant announced it with an extreme seriousness.

She was dumbfounded, and then she knitted her brows towards the remaining taste in her mouth.

Belvant held up Marietta who was naked with his arms, and carried her into the bathtub in order to destroy the evidence. (I can¡¯t say it. That it was not love that I poured into Marietta¡­ To think that the magic could be removed with such a thing, I will absolutely not say it!) Chapter 31 The Wedding Day Chapter 31 The Wedding Day For Marietta, and for Belvant (it¡¯s quite a pressing matter for him), the long-awaited wedding day finally arrived. Belvant¡¯s preparation is no more than tidying up his hair and wearing a ceremonial suit, but Marietta has been putting strenuous efforts for her preparation as soon as she¡¯s finished her breakfast.

The one who¡¯s taking command of the whole location is of course, Sierra. She¡¯s also filling the position of an assistant, but since the her dress-up has been done for quite a while ago, she¡¯s promptly issuing out instructions. Having no weak spot to the ends of the earth, she is a very capable lady attendant. The other maids are moving around in accordance to her instructions, combing the hair of Marietta who¡¯s sitting while wearing only her underwear¡ªuntil her hair has a glossy and beautiful appearance, weaving the hair and arranging it. After her hair is all ready, this time they have to dress her up. This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

The bottom of her dress is embroidered elegantly with silk, and in addition to that, the white dress is adorned luxuriously with crystals and pearls, making the dress considerably heavy. Well, it seems like one wouldn¡¯t be able to dance wearing this kind of a dress. For Marietta¡¯s small body, it will certainly be a work-out just to walk around while wearing this dress. Hence, in preparation for her wedding, Marietta was forged under exercises similar to muscle training exercises under the guidance of Sierra everyday. Becoming a bride is truly hard. Still, thanks for her endeavor, Marietta¡¯s figure in the dress is radiantly beautiful, and her standing figure as she extended her spine tightly is, without a doubt, brimming with the elegance of the royal family member. The lady attendants who normally view the princess with doting look were in great joy, and looked at the princess¡¯ figure with pride, respect, and affection. ¡°There is a celebratory parade after the ceremony, and after that, there is a banquet for the official announcement.¡± This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

Who would have thought that there would be a parade? It¡¯s like the ordinary bridal procession done during when one marries into the royal family.¡± ¡°For you see, it¡¯s because the bridegroom is Oltaire¡¯s hero. Even though there is a monarchy, the power of military authority is quite strong and famous here in Oltaire that is a roughly military state, and that¡¯s why it becomes akin to a festival in the whole country. The story even made its way to the theater stand in the castle town, and there was a big uproar due to it.¡± ¡°Well. I am happy to receive blessings from so many people.¡± ¡°By the way, you are really famous around the town, too, Princess.¡± Sierra who has acquired the information from the spies they brought along from Stellaus, smiled and said that. Marietta is well-known with her fame as [The Fairy Princess from Stellaus], the lovely and adorable Marietta who came here to be married to their General. It seems that the assault of the other day was somehow leaked out, and it turned into a love story of the two people in the theater, with some flavor of drama added into it. The fairy princess from Stellaus fell in love with Oltaire¡¯s guardian deity who protected the beautiful princess from the bad guys¡¯ attack, the main story is a sweet and passionate awakening of love, but for Marietta who seems to really love muscles, Sierra wants to show it to her once, when she gets a spare time. But for now, she¡¯s keeping her plan as a secret. The actor who¡¯s playing as Belvant differs from the real person as his style is a man of delicate features, but it seems like he has some pretty good muscles. ¡°If you are done with the preparation, please head to the chapel.¡± When an envoy came to call them out, Marietta was already in her last finishing step, her head was adorned with a tiara veil with Oltaire¡¯s diamond mounted in it. ¡°¡­Princess, you¡¯re really beautiful. I¡¯m truly delighted that we are able to welcome this day.¡± ¡°Oh my, Sierra, are you crying? I can safely become a bride right now, and it¡¯s all thanks to everyone from Oltaire, the ones who¡¯ve been serving me, and then Sierra, it¡¯s all thanks to you. Thank you.

Boom vroom vroooooooom please read this in my site, I¡¯m waiting for you~ There was a chapel that¡¯s slightly distant from the royal palace. Riding a carriage akin to a transportation from the fairyland, adorned with flowers to commemorate the wedding, they went and passed by the green trees, and finally arrived at a building that was standing in a quiet place befitting of a place to pray to the gods. The building was made out of bricks with high ceilings, and the interior is decorated with beautiful ornaments and paintings. A red carpet is laid out on top of the ornate-stoned floors leading all the way to the altar, waiting for the arrival of the bride. Then, there is today¡¯s leading actor, Belvant, who¡¯s eagerly waiting for Marietta to come from the entrance. Dressed in the ceremonial suit which is a white military uniform, his splendid body stature appears to be even bigger than usual. In order to hide his nervousness, he made an expressionless face which is more impactful than his normal expression, to the extent that if only he didn¡¯t wear the ceremonial dress, he is the version of the fierce god that would make people wonder if he¡¯s going to head to the frontline after this.

Before long, the sound of the carriage approaching could be heard. He noticed it earlier than anyone else, and the moment when he quickly turned his stern gaze at that direction, the people who are on standby outside leaked out their voices that cried out, ¡®hii!¡¯ from the front of the door. ¡°Ge, general Fargus, your bride has arrived.¡± The host informed Belvant while shivering. ¡°Once the bride has come down from the carriage, please approach her and link arms with her, then escort her. We will open the door, so please proceed slowly to the altar. The bride¡¯s dress is something that will make it difficult to walk, so please be very considerate of it.¡± ¡°Understood.¡± The carriage stopped, and when the door opened, the assistant, Sierra was the first one to appear, followed by Marietta who came down from the carriage while receiving Sierra¡¯s help. ¡°Marietta¡­ how beautiful¡­¡± This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

Although her face couldn¡¯t be seen due to the veil, the slender and lovely figure of the bride, as her dress was shining from the light it received, was really beautiful as if she appeared from inside a dream. ¡°Sir Belvant¡­¡± Marietta raised her head and called out Belvant¡¯s name, and then she was at a loss for words. (Kyaaaaaaa! He¡¯s wearing a white ceremonial suit! It¡¯s a white military uniform! It really suits the sturdy and manly Sir Belvant, as I expected, ah really, how dreamy, so dreamy! What should I do, if he¡¯s way too dreamy, I might lose my consciousness, I wonder if it¡¯s alright to touch him, ah well, Sir Belvant, you are way too attractive, are you going to murder me with this infatuation?!) (Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa what is with this, it¡¯s been so long since Marietta went all this fan-girling mode! You don¡¯t like seeing this comment? Well, read it at the translator¡¯s real site, then!) She is fervently infatuated with him. The two of them are staring at each other as they are overwhelmed with their emotions, but they managed to come back to their senses as the fearless Sierra calmly called out, ¡°General Fargus, please escort her.¡± Belvant unconsciously loosened his expression, and he floated a gentle smile exclusive for Marietta, as he approached her. Enduring the agony that she felt in her body due to the excessive gallantness of the figure she¡¯s seeing there, Marietta approached the bridegroom and fixed her eyes on him. (I have to remember this figure all my life! I have to engrave it completely in my mind so that it won¡¯t ever disappear and so I could recall it at times. Marietta, please hang in there, you should never, ever collapse due to your husband¡¯s coolness, as you will be having your dream-like wedding ceremony after this.) (You have to remember to go to the translator¡¯s site to support the one who¡¯s been working on this translation, not the aggregator thief who just stole this :() The good-looking man in his dreamy state, who feels like his soul could escape from his body because of his excessively adorable bride, is now linking arms with the fairy princess who seems like she could die because of her infatuation towards the coolness of the bridegroom. ¡°Marietta, you¡¯re very beautiful.¡± ¡°Sir Belvant¡­¡± As the two of them gazed at each other lovingly, the assistant maid whose inner thought screamed out, ¡®Okay, the lovebirds over there, please hurry and proceed!¡¯,coughed to bring back the two people who were lost in their own world, and finally they started to move. The chapel¡¯s door opened, and both the bride and bridegroom adorned in their white wedding clothes, finally made their entrance. The people attending their weddings inside the chapel are the king and the queen, the royalties, and the nobles of Oltaire. As the representative of Stellaus, Marietta¡¯s brother, the crown prince is also attending. He seems to be traveling abroad by exiting from his own country¡¯s outskirts. He, who resembles Marietta, is a handsome young man with well-featured face, blond hair and deep blue eyes, and there is no doubt that once this diplomacy travel comes to an end, there will be countless marriage proposals coming in right at daybreak.

In addition, each member of Oltaire¡¯s chivalric order is also present. Although their attendance can also be said as a means of defense, each of them is wearing their ceremonial military uniform, standing firmly with their formal expression. As each of them wanted to attend their esteemed General Fargus¡¯ formal occasion no matter what, Adlan had to arrange and appeal so that each of them could attend without any exception. As the sound of the musical performance made by an instrument similar to a pipe organ echoed solemnly, the bride and the groom slowly advanced. Eventually, as they reached the altar, the shrine maidens began to sing praises to the god at the priest¡¯s signal. ¡°Our beloved affectionate God, please give your blessings to the two people here who are going to make their wedding vow. Belvant Fargus.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Marietta Stellaus.¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Do you swear to walk your life together in front of God?¡± ¡°No. I object!¡± ¡°Yes.¡± The two whose answers overlapped, gently gazed at each other. At the same time as the shrine maidens¡¯ singing voices rose, a golden light began to surge from the chapel¡¯s tall ceiling. ¡°Ooh¡­¡± Noise began to surge inside of the chapel. It¡¯s the advent of God! It doesn¡¯t happen every time, but frequently during when they held this kind of ceremony, God would descent, giving His blessings to everyone. There have been various instances where God descended, such as during wedding ceremonies to give blessings towards love and families, or even during good harvest. All of people present are narrowing their eyes at the dazzling light, waiting for the appearance of the God. Before long, the light took form of a huge person. ¡­Riding a horse, he is indeed the God. The God who appeared is straddled to a sturdy warhouse and raises a large sword overhead, he is a handsome, powerful, and gallant man with the upper part of his body naked. ¡°¡­Muscle God?¡± This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

Someone muttered. ¡º£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á1, I am the God of War, Madigard! Let¡¯s bless the two who are going to be tied together on this very good day! ¡» ¡°God of War?¡± ¡°Why the God of War?¡± While the people are perplexed, the huge horse is running around the vast ceiling. ¡°Uooooooo, Lord Madigard!¡± ¡°Just how much is General Fargus loved by the God of War?!¡± The members of the chivalric order are screaming out their awfully manly war cries. Then. ¡°Wow, Lord Madigard, what magnificent muscles you have!¡± The one who ecstatically muttered those words is none other than Marietta. Belvant, who heard her words, furrowed his eyebrows, and moved his eyes to the direction of the muscles. ¡º£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á¡» This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

From the sword that the God Madigard raised highly, a golden light violently surged. ¡ºYou¡¯d better take this blessing of physical strength reinforcement!¡» That light wasn¡¯t only glowing inside the chapel, but it launched highly over the ceiling, and eventually rained incessantly in Oltaire. The blessing that abruptly exceeded the common practice surprised the people of Oltaire, and they were overcome by a great joy. ¡°What is this light?¡± ¡°It¡¯s God¡¯s blessing! The God has descended!¡± ¡°Today is¡­ the wedding day of General Fargus? As expected, the one who summoned the god was the guardian deity of Oltaire, and that¡¯s how the blessing was given in a large-scale!¡± All the people who had no guilt against the god received the blessing equally, and it was said that the percentage of ill people in Oltaire this year decreased significantly. Thus, the small light whirled and revolved around Marietta. ¡ºLittle princess, I gladly received your love for muscles! Give birth and raise lots of children to your heart¡¯s content! £È£Á£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á!¡» This chapter is translated by Convallaria¡¯s Library (www.convallariaslibrary.com), so please continue to read there.

Apparently, he gave the blessing of easy childbirth to Marietta¡¯s small body so that she could give birth to Belvant¡¯s children with ease. ¡°Now go and die!¡± Belvant¡¯s lewd heart was completely seen through by the god. Belvant then thanked him with a red face, ¡°Thank you for the blessing.¡± And God Madigard responded with,¡º£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á£È£Á, now you can be relieved and make efforts2!¡»while giving him a suggestive look, and then he ran around the ceiling at a high speed before he finally disappeared. _______________________________________________________________ Author¡¯s Post-Chapter Comment: And so, even the god himself urged them to make children. Now then, will they be able to be husband and wife safely? Chapter 32 Becoming Husband and Wife Chapter 32 Becoming Husband and Wife The beautiful face that was polished up just for this day¡¯s sake was now looking down in her embarrassment. ¡°Marietta¡­ how beautiful¡­¡± Belvant reflexively murmured. She blushed as she raised her eyes up to look at her most beloved bridegroom, and smiled. [Gwaa, c, cute! My bride is the most beautiful one in this world!] Enduring himself with just hugging her tightly and rubbing their cheeks together, Belvant¡¯s face turned into his strict expression befitting of a warrior who¡¯s about to face his mission. An uproar rose from amidst the attending people, as they just witnessed the rumored sprite-like princess¡¯ loveliness right in front of their eyes. Marietta¡¯s deep blue pupils are sparkling due to her happiness for becoming husband and wife with the person she loves, and they are gazing at Belvant, full of love. Belvant, who saw Marietta¡¯s face dyed in a faint pink, tried to endure his urge to escape while carrying her under his arms, then pushing her down somewhere else. [God Madigard is watching, so you shouldn¡¯t conduct yourself in a shameful manner.] ¡°¡­Sir Belvant?¡± Since Belvant¡¯s face distorted into an extreme fiendish one in order to suppress his desire, the people sensed an intimidating atmosphere that sent chills down their spines. Towards that kind of Belvant, Marietta slightly tilted her head and murmured out of her curiosity. [She is very adorable, yet at the same time she¡¯s also fearless towards the General, what a bold bride she truly is!] [As expected of the person who¡¯s to become General Fargus¡¯ wife, she is not just your ordinary woman with average level of bravery.] The people are admiring Marietta, but the person herself has her ¡®lovey-dovey filter¡¯, so she simply views any kind of Belvant as her gallant and dreamy man. ¡°You won¡¯t give me the wedding kiss1?¡± Due to Marietta¡¯s sweet whisper, for an instant, Belvant¡¯s reasoning flew out of his mind. ¡°Marietta, I love you!¡± As he pulled his bride¡¯s waist firmly with his arm towards himself, the God Madigard who was watching the whole scene from somewhere else reflexively grinned, ¡°OH!2¡± as the two shared their passionate kiss. After the bride and the bridegroom exited the venue, they rode the carriage specifically used for the occasion of their marriage that was waiting for them outside. Fortunately for Marietta, her assistant, Sierra also rode the carriage along with them, and she managed to avoid being devoured greedily by Belvant who was feeling dizzy due to his worldly desires. For some reason, she couldn¡¯t let him off her hook. 3 Once the carriage returned to the royal palace, after taking a short recess, this time, they went to ride on the carriage prepared for the purpose of parade. It is a two-horse cart that doesn¡¯t have any roof in order to make it light weight, and was particularly designed to further elaborate its elegance, polished up until it¡¯s glossy. The ones in charge of front and rear guard were none other than the Oltaire¡¯s chivalric order who mounted on their horses. Adorned in the tight-designed military uniforms, they look extremely gallant. When the maids and the lady attendants at the royal palace who were watching attentively towards the parade¡¯s preparations looked at those gallant figures, perhaps a few seeds of love have started to bud inside their hearts. Finally, the carriage descended from the royal palace and headed for the town. As the parade advanced through the spatious road which was also used for the usual triumphal route, there were already people awaiting them along the way. Each and every one of them has a slick face brimming with vigour, as they have received the blessing from God Madigard. ¡°General Fargus, congratulations!¡± ¡°Princess Marietta, kyaaaaa, so pretty! So cute-!¡± Belvant who was already used to triumphal parade just nodded and waved his hand towards the people, complete with his usual intense expression and smile. Marietta who experienced such a parade held at the large street and being in front of so many people for the first time, at first she was bewildered, but when she stealthily nestled her body closer to the calm Belvant, she felt relieved. Each time the people along the route called out to her, Marietta would look their way and smile cheerfully. The citizens of Oltaire whose greetings were answered by the beautiful sprite-like princess¡¯ waving hands, found themselves in a middle of a daze. The old people heard a lot of rumors going about the marriage and were worried for General Fargus just as they would for their own grandchildren. However, upon meeting the bride who was more than what they expected, they were deeply moved and shed tears of joy. ¡°Oh my, for everyone to be this overjoyed. Thank you, people of Oltaire.¡± Since the old people have regained their vigour back due to God Madigard¡¯s blessings, they were able to go outside to greet Marietta. Towards Marietta¡¯s smile and waved hands, they assumed the posture of praying4. After taking a turn around the city, the parade¡¯s line returned to the royal palace. Next to follow was the wedding reception. Marietta parted ways with Belvant and were escorted by Sierra to return to the room. It is so she can change her clothes. Taking off her heavy ceremonial dress, this time she¡¯s changed into a light dress with light blue color and a pale chiffon on top of the light blue base. After letting down her hair, it was styled in a half-upswept hairstyle which made her fluffy curled hair stand out. As for the ornament, it would certainly be the diamond of Oltaire. In addition, there are also small tiara, necklace, and earrings which were elegantly designed using plenty of small diamonds. All the accessories reflected the glittering light around Marietta¡¯s face. ¡°Princess Marietta, you look very beautiful. As if you just came straight out of a romance novel.¡± (T/N: Well, she is indeed the main heroine in a romance novel, yup, yup.) ¡°My, thank you, Sierra. I wonder if it would be alright for me to stand beside Sir Belvant with this? I mean, that person is extremely dreamy, so¡­¡± ¡°Yeah, it¡¯s perfect, perfect, the princess is magnificent no matter through what angle you¡¯re seeing her. I even believe that the general would fall in love again once he sees the princess¡¯ beauty. Or rather, I believe it would be better if we were to blindfold the general in order to restrain him from doing anything reckless.¡± ¡°Uh, really, Sierra.¡± Marietta who didn¡¯t realize that she would always shake Belvant¡¯s reasoning herself, only laughed in amusement over Sierra¡¯s words. And so, the wedding reception was a great success as it splendidly turned out to be an enjoyable banquet surrounding the bride and the groom. Despite that, the time has eventually come for the banquet to end. It¡¯s time for everyone to exit. Then, it¡¯s time for them to prepare for their first night. The guests tried to just let their gazes pass through the bride as naturally as possible during the banquet, but in the end, their gazes couldn¡¯t leave the adorable Marietta. Belvant who¡¯s lost his patience, regained his spirit and pushed his way through the swarming guests all around Marietta, then suddenly hugged her with one of his arms. It¡¯s a pose that the royal palace¡¯s people are familiar with. ¡°Marietta, let¡¯s go.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± As the innocent bride reached and hugged Belvant¡¯s neck, the laughs and voices from their surroundings that said, ¡°Oh my, oh my,¡± could be heard. ¡°Well then, please excuse us.¡± After bowing down to the guests, the sturdy bridegroom held the bride in his arms and exited the venue. Now then, be zealous to your heart¡¯s content. Belvant and Marietta, along with Sierra rode in the carriage and headed to Belvant¡¯s residence. From now on, Marietta will be living in his residence as the landlady. The maids who have been working for Marietta at the royal palace were dispatched from Stellaus, and after the bridal procession, they would be working exclusively for Marietta in Belvant¡¯s residence. Since they have arrived slightly early, they are now waiting for Marietta and the others to arrive at Fargus¡¯ house. ¡°Thank you for your hard work. Well then, General Fargus, see you later.¡± ¡°¡­Just a little bit longer.¡± ¡°Women have a lot of dress-up to do, so, see, you, la-ter!¡± Sierra quickly declared to Belvant, who seemed reluctant to be apart from Marietta. The servants of the Fargus¡¯ house whispered to one another, ¡°As expected from the maid who¡¯s accompanying the princess, her appeal is different from the others!¡± as they witnessed the state of the husband who¡¯s withdrawing with sorrowful eyes. ¡°Oh dear, what a lovely room it is!¡± Marietta raised her voice of joy as she put her hands together in front of her bosom upon seeing the lovely interoir integrated with a romantic ambience. The furniture¡¯s design is based on the trending curvy and soft types, and the cushion and linen¡¯s style is frilled and laced style, adding a bit to the sweet ambience. ¡°The door at the inner part of this room is connected to the Lord¡¯s room. Madam¡¯s private room was adorned in girly interior according to the Lord¡¯s instruction, how do you like it?¡± ¡°Yes, of course! I wonder why would Sir Belvant know that I like things this way. As expected from my husband!¡± Of course, Sierra was the one who threw all detailed information about Marietta¡¯s preference to Belvant. She wrote a ¡®Marietta Report¡¯, and Belvant tried to memorize its content with more seriousness than any other work. As Adlan witnessed Belvant¡¯s figure as he grumbled the content in the office, Adlan shrieked, ¡°Stop it-, even I want to memorize Sierra¡¯s preference, too!¡± After some time looking around the room where she will be living in from now on, Marietta took off her dress and took a bath. Since she would be doing her first night after this, the maids washed her body and hair neatly, rubbed her entire body with a fragant flower-scented perfumed oil, and massaged her. Marietta¡¯s smooth white skin was fully lustrous, and there isn¡¯t a single hint of her being worn out due to the ceremony. The clothes put on her is a thin night-clothes. Although the clothes is abundant of frills and laces, there is also a moderate amount of exposure in order to display Marietta¡¯s charm that can excite a male¡¯s instinct. For the newly-wed¡¯s convenience, there is also a ribbon on the bosom part of the clothes, designed so that when it¡¯s pulled, oh my, what a wonder, the clothes would get taken off in the blink of an eye. With the maids and Sierra¡¯s hands, Marietta has been fully cooked that she looked tasty¡­ that¡¯s not it, Marietta who¡¯s all prepared, laid her hands on the knob of the door connecting to her husband¡¯s room with her heart beating fast. ¡°Then, Sierra, I¡¯m off!¡± ¡°It¡¯s alright, Princess. Just leave it all to General Fargus. In addition, I consider General Fargus would remain unperturbed even if you were to hit, scratch, or bite him, so it¡¯s perfectly fine for you to do anything you want.¡± ¡°¡­Bite him?¡± ¡°If you feel like it.¡± ¡°I¡¯m not going to have a quarrel, you know?¡± As she tilted her head in confusion, Marietta opened the door. Belvant who had taken off his formal marriage outfit and taken a bath, is now waiting impatiently for when Marietta would come. Thinking that he would just scare Marietta if she were to see his impatient condition, he drank a lot of sake cups and basked himself in cold water in order to calm himself down. Despite all that, his muscles would regain their passion in no time, as his body was feeling hot. As his hand reached out to more sake in order to distract his mind, he halted while thinking, ¡®No, no, there is no way I could risk myself by unfastening my reasoning limit.¡¯ At last, when he just began loitering around the bedroom just like a bear, the sound of the door opening could be heard as the door was opened from the next room. ¡°¡­Sir Belvant?¡± In front of his excessively adorable new wife who left the bedroom hurriedly with her good smell, Belvant stood up there with reddening cheeks. ¡°Marietta!¡± He quickly approached her, then locked her in his arms. ¡°Yosh!¡± Without knowing, he let out his enthusiastic voice and carried her under his arms, took her to the bedroom and laid Marietta down on the spacious bed. ¡°Uhm, Sir Belvant.¡± ¡°Yes?¡± Realizing that Belvant¡¯s gazing at her with a more passionate gaze compared to the usual one, Marietta wriggled as she was overwhelmed by her own feelings. ¡°I just thought that I¡¯d like to greet you.¡± ¡°Is it necessary?¡± Belvant tried to pay no heed to Marietta, but then he recalled the Marietta Report. [Princess Marietta loves romantic ambience the most. Please, by no means, never rush on your desire to attack her.] No, no, you have to avoid doing things that Marietta hates. He reconsidered and sat on the bed. Marietta also got up, sitting next to him, and gazed up at Belvant¡¯s face. ¡°Dear husband, by all means, be affectionate with me for many years to come, please.¡± ¡°Ah, yes.¡± She is just too cute! She looks even cuter like this! Belvant held down his nose and bent his reddening face. [My bride is way too cute, it¡¯s tough!] Unaware of Belvant¡¯s thoughts, Marietta clung to his arms. Feeling the round tenderness that he nurtured, Belvant¡¯s heart beat even faster. ¡°Sir Belvant, I¡¯m so happy.¡± ¡°I¡¯m also happy. Marietta, I love you. I vow that I will continue to love you for all eternity.¡± ¡°So happy¡­¡± Belvant gently kissed the world¡¯s most adorable wife whose eyes were wet due to her being deeply moved. Author¡¯s Note: Thank you for waiting, General Belvant! Next chapter, finally, it¡¯s adult¡¯s time-! Chapter 33 First Night Together with You… Chapter 33 First Night Together with You¡­ Author¡¯s Pre-Chapter Note: It¡¯s a R-18 chapter, please proceed with caution. After exchanging kisses with Belvant, Marietta leaped to his chest. His strong and sturdy pectoral muscle easily caught her body. ¡°Sir Belvant, I love you.¡± When they embraced each other tightly, their body heat was transmitted through the thin clothes. When Marietta inhaled a big breath, the refreshing aroma of a soap was brushed aside, and she was able to smell Belvant¡¯s scent that she¡¯s already used to sniff. As she became happy, she rubbed her cheeks together and suddenly laughed. ¡°Marietta, you¡¯re such a pampered girl.¡± When she looked up with her head which was caressed, a handsome face with a very gentle smile looked back at her with a very affectionate gaze. It¡¯s a face that he only shows to Marietta. ¡°That¡¯s right. Which is why, please be with me as much as possible.¡± ¡°I will grant your wishes as much as I can.¡± After Marietta¡¯s beloved husband declared that, he kissed her eyelids, cheeks, forehead, and her whole face as if it was a rain falling down. Chu, chu, so the lips made that sweet voice, and Marietta giggled as it felt ticklish. ¡°Nnn¡­¡± After a time, his lips caught hers, and Belvant caressed Marietta¡¯s hair gently. As he supported her back of the head, their lips met once again. Belvant¡¯s lips devoured Marietta softly, sucking her and tickling her using the tip of his tongue. When Marietta opened her mouth as she couldn¡¯t endure it, a man¡¯s thick tongue slipped into her mouth. Since Belvant knows Marietta¡¯s weak points very well, he moved his tongue in small movements as he skillfully gave her the stimulus. ¡°Nnn, nnnn-.¡± Marietta whose mouth was full of his tongue and a melting pleasure, leaked out a sweet nasal voice just like a puppy¡¯s. Pichari, the retracted tongue made that sound, then it licked her lips. ¡°Mary, put out your tongue.¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡± Marietta who¡¯s become absentminded due to Belvant¡¯s obscene kisses, obediently held out her small tongue from her pink lips. Her tongue entwined with Belvant¡¯s tongue which was drawn inside his own mouth, they rubbed together and made the sound of chukuchuku. Marietta who was being led around by the kisses began to tremble her body. ¡°Nn, fuun¡­¡± ¡°Mary, did the kisses feel good?¡± As she inhaled a deep breath, Marietta nodded like a child. ¡°Good girl. This time, I will entwine my tongue to your mouth.¡± Marietta put her hands around Belvant¡¯s neck as their lips met, and his tongue caught hers, as it explored the insides of her mouth. Just as she thought that she caught it, his tongue twisted around and reversed the position, and just like that, the man¡¯s tongue fervently stirred up the insides of her mouth. When their lips separated, a silver string formed to connect those separated lips together. Marietta whose cheeks flushed red with her moist eyes looked up vacantly at Belvant with her feminine face, and that charm induced his carnal desire. However, Belvant swore that he would sweetly pamper Marietta on their first night together, so he laid her down on top of the bed as if he was handling a treasure. ¡°You already belong to me.¡± As he held Marietta¡¯s ear with his mouth, he whispered those words as he teased her ear with his tongue. ¡°My cute Mary, how do you feel about this?¡± ¡°Ahn, aah¡­¡± ¡°You¡¯re so sensitive, I just licked your ear but your body¡¯s already twitching.¡± ¡°Yaan, aahn¡­¡± Marietta writhed around as she felt that somehow, pleasure ran through her body like an electric shock when her ear was teased. Just by hearing Belvant¡¯s low voice alone as it resonated within her ear, her abdomen got hot. As Marietta was bewildered by the strange change of her own body, she leaked out an intense pant. ¡°The night is long, so I will spend plenty of time to shower you with my love.¡± So Belvant said as he showed a thin smile. In the depth of his ice blue eyes, an uncontainable flame of desire started to be set ablaze. As both of her ears were viciously tormented, Marietta gasped hard. Next, Belvant¡¯s lips crawled to her neck. ¡°Ouch!¡± Marietta reflexively whined as Belvant strongly sucked her neck. He then crawled his tongue and slowly licked all over. ¡°Sorry. I wanted to mark it as mine.¡± He untied the ribbon on Marietta¡¯s nightclothes, and while her clothes loosened, his lips crawled along her collarbone and nibbled on it. ¡°Ah.¡± ¡°Here is mine, as well.¡± Although it hurt, at the same time she raised a small voice as she learned the pleasure running through her body. Belvant¡¯s lips continued to crawl through Marietta¡¯s body, leaving tracks all over it. ¡°Mine.¡± Marietta thought that Belvant was similar to a wild animal who was devouring its prey slowly. Belvant who¡¯s gentle despite having a dreadful face laughed sweetly when he gazed at her. As the beast snatched the prey¡¯s everything by licking it with its lips and tongue, the beast has established its aim. Although it was quite scary, she thought that she wasn¡¯t able to run away from these hands any more. As the heat was transmitted somehow throughout her body, Marietta rubbed her knees together. After Belvant removed Marietta¡¯s nightclothes and underwear, he also removed his own clothes and became naked. ¡°Very beautiful.¡± ¡°Sir Belvant is dreamy, too¡­¡± A sturdy body with wide shoulders and firm muscles. It was a lovely man¡¯s body who had fought in countless number of battles. Marietta gazed absentmindedly at Belvant as she stretched her hands to his chest. In response, Belvant raised his voice, ¡°Uu,¡± and buried his face at her white pair of hills. ¡°Really¡­ you¡¯re way too cute, it¡¯s unbearable. Although I don¡¯t want to be rough, I don¡¯t have any confidence that I can restrain this urge.¡± His large and bulky palms crawled around Marietta¡¯s body as if it was stuck there, as his lips sucked her swelling plumps roughly. As the red marks increased, Marietta¡¯s breath became rougher. ¡°Aahn, Sir Belvant.¡± ¡°Marietta, my lovely Mary, you¡¯re mine.¡± Marietta¡¯s breasts were rubbed thoroughly to the extent that their shapes changed to Belvant¡¯s form, and his fingers played around with the completely stiff points, turning it over inside his mouth. ¡°They have become this stiff. Are you feeling good?¡± The peach-colored tip that decorated her breasts were now glittering as they were completely wet with saliva. As his fingers plucked them to the extent that it induced pain, Marietta whined and bent her body backward. ¡°Sir Belvant, spare me, I¡¯m starting to feel strange.¡± Since Marietta was whispered sweet words by her beloved person and had her body completely touched, the embarrassing honey was already overflowing from inside her body. ¡°It¡¯s only the beginning. This place is already soaked wet, it¡¯s been anticipating me. Good girl, I have to reward you nicely.¡± As Belvant said that, he gently caressed her head. And no sooner than that, he laid his hands on Marietta¡¯s knees and spread them out. ¡°Aah, yaahn, it¡¯s embarrassing, don¡¯t look at it that much.¡± Marietta whose drenched secret place was laid bare frantically closed her legs, but it was no match for a man¡¯s power. ¡°Marietta is cute here too. It has such a pretty color¡­¡± ¡°Nooo, don¡¯t put your face theree!¡± Looking at Belvant¡¯s face approaching the embarrassing place, the teary-eyed Marietta struggled in resistance. ¡°What are you doing?!¡± ¡°I¡¯m licking it.¡± ¡°Wha-¡° At his manly words, Marietta turned red. (T/N: What, what manly words?! (¡¹©b¥í©b)¡¹Author, what?!) ¡°Don¡¯t, that kind of place is, i-it¡¯s dirty.¡± ¡°What are you saying? It¡¯s not dirty at all. Look, it smells so good.¡± ¡°Nooo, don¡¯t sniff it!¡± Marietta writhed around on the sheet easily due to the excessive embarrassment, and Belvant laughed with a face that was overflowing with desire. ¡°Besides, haven¡¯t you put my thing inside that adorable mouth of yours already? I have to repay my debt.¡± Belvant who was smiling widely, extended his tongue and inserted it in Marietta¡¯s honey pot. ¡°Aaaaaaahn, yaaah, not, theree!¡± Marietta whose secret place was ravished by the man¡¯s slippery tongue, quivered her hips as a strange sensation boiled up from that place. ¡°Don¡¯t, you can¡¯t lick it deeply!¡± Belvant bent his large body and profoundly inserted his tongue to pry into the embarrassing hole just like a lion drinking water. ¡°Ahn, afuun.¡± Marietta¡¯s face turned bright red as her body was overwhelmed by the pleasure and embarrassment. She raised her voice as her eyes amassed a lot of tears. ¡°How is it? Doesn¡¯t it feel good? Your sweet honey is brimming over one after another.¡± ¡°How is it? Doesn¡¯t it feel good? Your sweet honey is brimming over one after another.¡± ¡°Noo, don¡¯t, don¡¯t put it that way, aahn¡­¡± Belvant made an obscene splashing sound that ravished her ears. On top of it, he severely tortured her secret place enthusiastically. [Despite the fact that we¡¯re doing something this embarrassing, for me to feel really good¡­ I wonder what should I do?] His nose rubbed against her sensitive meat bud. The small sprout immediately swelled red and turned hard, bringing forth a pleasant feeling. As the insides of her dripping wet petals are stirred up, Marietta cried out, ¡°ahn, ahn,¡± to her wits¡¯ end. ¡°You can show this embarrassing secret place to me alone, remember? If you show it to another guy, I will kill him. Understand?¡± Marietta frantically nodded with her teary eyes. ¡°Yosh, good girl. I will shower this part of your body with my love, too.¡± Belvant skillfully peeled the skin covering the bud skillfully with the tip of his tongue, and he held the most sensitive protuberance that showed up there with his lips, gently licking it. As pleasure penetrated her whole body, Marietta raised her voice that sounded like a scream. ¡°A-h, don¡¯t-!¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you feeling it when I lick your cute little bead?¡± As the completely swollen red part was pushed, kneaded, and gnawed skillfully by the man¡¯s tongue over and over again, Marietta¡¯s lower half hopped each and every time. ¡°Ahn, ahn, aah¡­¡± ¡°Are you coming? It¡¯s fine if you¡¯re feeling it.¡± ¡°Ahn, Sir¡­ Bel, vant, I¡¯m coming¡­¡± When Belvant sucked up her flower bud and violently rubbed his tongue, the inside of Marietta¡¯s head turned blank, as her toes kicked the bed sheets. ¡°Ah, I¡¯m¡­ com¡­ coming, aaaaaah!¡± As her body bent backward, Marietta reached her climax. Belvant kissed Marietta who was breathing roughly with her flushed face. ¡°Has this place become wet?¡± ¡°Ah-.¡± Belvant inserted his finger inside Marietta¡¯s secret hole. The thick finger crawled deep inside her. ¡°It¡¯s still twitching.¡± Towards the stimulus from Belvant¡¯s fingers which were moving in and out slowly, Marietta¡¯s hips jolted. ¡°You¡¯re wet enough, but I will use this just in case.¡± A damp sound followed as Belvant withdrew his fingers. He then picked up a small bottle on the table beside the bed and spilled a substantial amount of liquid on his fingers. And just like that, he inserted his fingers back inside Marietta. ¡°Ahn, that, what is it?¡± Marietta¡¯s insides were painted over with the liquid at the same time as the pleasure welled up inside her body. She asked that while panting roughly. ¡°It¡¯s a magic potion I obtained from River Link. It seems that it can decrease the pain on your first time. It might be a temporary relief, but I don¡¯t want you to go through any painful experience.¡± ¡°Oh my, thank you for your consideration.¡± Belvant unintentionally laughed at Marietta who expressed her gratitude honestly despite being in such a sloven figure. ¡°I wanted to wait until you get wetter than this, but it seems that I¡¯m also at my limit of endurance.¡± After he finished applying the medicine, Belvant fell upon Marietta and pushed his solidly rising up thing inside her secret place. Marietta clung to Belvant¡¯s body. ¡°If it hurts, bite on my shoulders.¡± ¡°Yes, dear husband. ¡­Ah, uuh!¡± Marietta¡¯s womanly place which is still narrow and has never accepted a man inside, was wrenched open by his hot and hard thing. ¡°Kh, how narrow¡­ Breathe deeper and relax.¡± ¡°Aah, haaa¡­¡± Marietta somehow managed to endure the feeling of oppression from Belvant¡¯s penetration which made her feel full to the brim. Tears spilled out in large drops from her blue pupils, which made her look pitiful. Belvant pushed his waist forward as he desperately tried to enter deeper, but he had to stop when he encountered a narrow space en route. ¡°¡­It can¡¯t be helped. I¡¯m sorry, but I¡¯ll be inserting it in one go.¡± ¡°Ah, aaaaaaaaaah!¡± When Marietta reflexively screamed sorrowfully as the lynchpin was hammered in one go until the deep parts, Belvant covered her lips. As Marietta was taken aback, her lips were kissed gently. ¡°Are you all right? Everything¡¯s all inside. Did it hurt?¡± ¡°¡­It¡¯s in?¡± Marietta tried to look down while panting roughly as her eyes were very teary. She then saw how Belvant¡¯s huge thing was buried inside up to the base. Marietta¡¯s pale white abdomen was swelling out as she took in his thing. Marietta gently rubbed her own stomach. ¡°I¡¯m happy. Sir Belvant¡¯s thing is inside here, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. With this, I can give you my child1.¡± ¡°Aa, I¡¯m so happy! I¡¯m truly delighted!¡± Marietta was smiling with a great joy, but Belvant who was facing her seemed as if he was in an agony as his face turned red. ¡°Sir Belvant, what¡¯s the matter?¡± ¡°It feels way too good¡­ to be inside you¡­¡± [I want to intensely knock her up!] Once again, he was resisting his lust. ¡°Sir Belvant, I don¡¯t feel so much pain thanks to the medicine. That¡¯s why, please do it to your heart¡¯s content.¡± ¡°¡­Then, I¡¯ll move a bit.¡± ¡°You¡¯re going to move? Okay.¡± Marietta tilted her head as she didn¡¯t really understand what he meant. Belvant pulled his hips and slowly retracted it so that she won¡¯t feel any burden. However¡­ ¡°Sir Belvant, don¡¯t go.¡± ¡°What?¡± ¡°Please stay inside me, just a bit longer.¡± Marietta¡¯s white legs twisted around his waist and tried to keep him from leaving. Marietta¡¯s teary blue eyes and her desperate expression as she tried to stop Belvant from pulling out managed to shake Belvant¡¯s reasoning. ¡°Marietta¡­ too adorable¡­¡± ¡°Eh?¡± ¡°There¡¯s no way I would be separated from you! Marietta! I love you!¡± ¡°Hyaaan-!¡± The lynchpin which was halfway extracted, was once more hammered in deep inside Marietta. ¡°Aah, well, I can¡¯t stop now!¡± ¡°Ahn, an, ahn, an, aahn!¡± Belvant who was dripping wet in sweat, intensely jolted his hips back and forth, digging up Marietta¡¯s insides many times over. The violent thing cramped Marietta¡¯s inside as it rubbed, poked, and drilled obscene stimulus while relentlessly targeting the sensitive parts inside her many times over. Marietta who hardly felt any pain thanks to the magic potion, began to pick up pleasure from the intense conduct happening in her insides despite it being her first time. Her hips trembled, and the voice that leaked out from her young peach lips that resembled flowers was an obscene seductive voice of a mature woman. ¡°Ah, ahn, ya, haaa, aahn, Sir, Belvant, I¡¯m feeling, weird.¡± As the obscene sound of water splashing could be heard, her insides were overflowing with the love juice as it poured out, wetting the two¡¯s jointed parts. ¡°Yaaah, Sir, Belvant, it feels, good!¡± ¡°Haaa, Marietta, that¡¯s good, it¡¯s incredibly, good, kh!¡± Her white and slim body that resembled a doll was being pressed down by his thick and muscular arms, then it was strongly jolted. As the obscene splashing sound that resulted from the two¡¯s union could be heard passionately, the dark brown and thick weapon-like object was being taken in and out many times over without any end. It was an intense courtship akin to torturing a fairy. ¡°Marietta, I¡¯m coming, I will pour my sperm into you.¡± ¡°Ah, p, please do, ah, ah, coming, aaahn!¡± ¡°Uuh, it¡¯s coming, get pregnant-!¡± ¡°Aaaaaaaaah!¡± When Marietta constricted and received Belvant¡¯s climax, a rush of hot desire was filling her many times deep inside her body. There lived a General who was called as the fierce god in Oltaire. He, who was called as the country¡¯s guardian deity, was a very capable tactician and a warrior possessing dauntless courage. However, the degree of his ferociousness and strength combined was very terrifying that people feared him. He had a lovely wife. The princess who came from the country of Stellaus to be married to him was very innocent and adorable to the extent that she was called as the sprite-like or the fairy princess. The fairy princess fell in love with the general who saved her from the scoundrels¡¯ assault. They were said to lead a happy marriage and get along well for many years to come. During when the fierce-looking general was with his beloved wife, it seemed that his intimidating air was reduced to the extent that he only appeared as a strong good-looking man. Thus, the two who were loved by the Battle God, Madigard, who was now also believed to be the deity of easy childbirth, were blessed with lots of children, and their laughter was often heard from the general¡¯s residence.

Thanks for everyone¡¯s support in many kinds of forms, I¡¯ve managed to safely complete this story. Really, thank you so much! Extra 1 The Next Morning’s Talk Extra Chapter 1 The Next Morning¡¯s Talk When the morning sun rose, around the time when it became completely bright, Belvant opened his eyes. He saw something shining and glittering right in front of his eyes, and he smiled as he noticed that it was a small blonde-haired head. ¡°Marietta¡­¡± He gently caressed his beloved wife¡¯s head. On top of the table on the bedside, there was a bottle that tumbled over. The bottle contained the medicine that the Head of Magicians, River Link made to reduce the pain of the ¡°first time¡±. The content of the big bottle that wouldn¡¯t fit in Marietta¡¯s small hand was empty. It was very empty. ¡°¡­¡± Belvant tried to count the number of times he used the medicine inside his head.

This man is not Oltaire¡¯s fierce god, he is a brute. The innocent bride who received Belvant¡¯s boiling carnal desire all night long with her body was sleeping soundly with a fatigued expression. If she hadn¡¯t received the blessing of God Madigard¡ªthe stamina enhancement¡ªMarietta might have used up all of her strength in the worst case. At the very least, she might not be able to smile, ¡°Ufu¡± as she rubbed her cheeks together on Belvant¡¯s muscular arm which was used as her pillow. It was such an intense night. ¡°Thank you, I¡¯m so happy.¡± After Belvant muttered the words of gratitude towards the War God, Madigard, he softly lifted up his arm and took it out from under Marietta¡¯s head, who was still dozing off. He then put in a pillow in exchange. ¡°¡­Nn.¡± Marietta woke up. She was lying down on the vast bed by herself. ¡°Oh my¡­ Sir Belvant?¡± As she got up to look around at her surroundings, she felt a dull weight on her lower abdomen and turned over to look at the sheets covering her body. Last night, she called out for Belvant so miserably while being pierced through many times over, but she couldn¡¯t remember anything after the middle part of it. Of course she was stark naked during when she did it, but as of now, her night gown was put on her body so neatly. Her body was smooth and the bed sheet was also changed into the new one. ¡°¡­I wonder if last night was only a dream?¡± Obviously, that was not the case. During the time when Marietta was tranced by the excessive intense activity in the bedroom, Belvant who came to his senses used his hands to wipe clean her body and replaced the sheet that had been dirtied by various fluid into its disastrous state that couldn¡¯t be put into words¡ªto a new sheet. As a general, Belvant was able to live without any kind of inconvenience these days. However, he started off as just a low knight, so he was roughly able to look after the wounded and do the cleaning, laundry, and even replacing the bed sheet for them. As Belvant admired Marietta who had lost her consciousness while thinking, ¡®Aah, her exhausted figure is also adorable,¡¯ he joyfully took care of everything as if he was enjoying it. He looked a bit like a pervert, but he was a very loving husband. ¡°Sir Belvant, I wonder where did he go to?¡± Marietta pouted her lips as she felt a little bit lonely for being alone in welcoming the morning in a room she wasn¡¯t accustomed to for the first time. Then, the sound of footsteps approaching from the corridor could be heard, and the sound of the next room¡¯s door opening could also be heard. Subsequently, the bedroom¡¯s door was slowly opened. The one who peered his face quietly was Belvant. ¡°My dear husband!¡± ¡°Ah, you¡¯ve woken up?¡± He smiled gently at his wife who got up from the bed and looked at him, but Marietta stared in wonder upon seeing his figure as he stepped inside the room and said. ¡°¡­Sir Belvant, just what on earth did you do?¡± The upper half of his body was naked and steam appeared from that sturdy body of his. Then, the tense muscle was drenched with sweat as it glittered shinily as it was struck by the morning sun. Aah, what a fantastic spectacle to behold from early in the morning! What on earth have I done to receive this kind of reward? Marietta who restrained herself as the lovely spectacle hit her bull¡¯s eye also tried to hold her throbbing heart and stared fixedly at her husband¡¯s body. ¡°Ah, aah, I just did a morning training. If I don¡¯t practice swinging every day, my arms will become less capable to hold the sword. Sorry for leaving you alone. Did I make you feel lonely?¡± Belvant¡ªwho was stared by Marietta¡¯s passionate pupils so much that it could create a hole on his body¡ªfaltered a bit before saying those words. ¡°No. A morning training¡­¡± Marietta was entranced as she imagined the lively movements of his muscles. As expected from Sir Belvant! The muscles that he used, aah, I wanted to look at that wonderful figure as much as possible! ¡°I¡¯m sorry that it stinks of sweats.¡± No, no, my dear husband always smells good! Marietta shook her head firmly and turned towards Belvant with her smile. ¡°I¡¯ll be taking a hot bath soon, what about you, Marietta? Your body¡¯s been wiped clean more or less, but¡­¡± ¡°Thank you for your consideration. If you don¡¯t mind, I would like to join you.¡± Since his new wife said so with a slightly flushed cheeks, Belvant¡¯s passion which he thought to be reduced after the intense exercises carried out all night long was burning brightly once more. Aah, how miserable, Marietta. If only you know more about a man¡¯s circumstances¡­ Your body will be destroyed like that. ¡°I want to wash your back. ¡­Ah.¡± Marietta¡¯s body staggered as she stood up to go down from the bed. He quickly rushed over and support her. ¡°Are you all right? I pushed you excessively last night.¡± Since she didn¡¯t have any power on her legs, she clung on Belvant¡¯s arms. ¡°I¡¯m sorry.¡± ¡°I don¡¯t mind, I will help you with anything today. That¡¯s my duty as a husband.¡± As Belvant said that, he held Marietta and carried her in his arms. Since she was glued to the muscles that shone due to the sweats, she felt very excited and dizzy. Belvant who brought Marietta into the bathroom gently removed her night-clothes. The white skin that appeared from beneath it was full of countless red marks. When Marietta saw it, she gasped. ¡°Oh my, this is¡­ Have I fallen ill?¡± Marietta who was clueless about the thing called as kiss mark was filled up with anxiety as she looked at that miserable condition and her voice trembled. ¡°No, that¡¯s wrong. This is not an illness, so rest assured. Well, this¡­ is the proof that you¡¯re mine. I was the one who placed it there.¡± ¡°Proof, is it?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. ¡­Even if I say so myself, I still think that I¡¯ve gone too far with it. Sorry.¡± He put Marietta whose feet were still wobbling on his lap and washed her whole body with a cloth foaming with soap. ¡°Ah, I can wash that part myself.¡± When he extended his hand to her important part, Marietta hurriedly said that. ¡°There¡¯s no need to be shy, does it hurt?¡± ¡°¡­it felt a bit weird. However, it doesn¡¯t hurt.¡± ¡°You must thank River Link later on.¡± ¡°Ah, that, Sir Belvant, it¡¯s embarrassing.¡± ¡°It¡¯s fine. Since I am your husband, I have a duty to take care of every nook and cranny of your body, so just stay calm and let me wash it for you.¡± Marietta¡ªwhose body was washed by Belvant¡¯s hands including her secret place¡ªflushed red when she felt the throbbing sensation as if her body was recalling the embarrassing stimulus. ¡°It¡¯s already clean.¡± Towards his wife whose cheeks were flushed red and became teary eyed as she panted, ¡°haa¡­ haa¡­,¡± Belvant¡¯s lust was aroused and he began to wriggle his fingers lewdly. ¡°Is that so? I¡¯m going to rub this part a little bit more.¡± As her sensitive breast was rubbed circularly by his fingertip, Marietta¡¯s body also wriggled. ¡°Aah, not there¡­¡± ¡°Since it¡¯s an important spot, so we have to properly wash the skin. Aah, it has become swollen and plump. It feels good after it¡¯s been washed thoroughly, right?¡± ¡°Aah, ah, ah, aaaaaah-!¡± As she was being teased lewdly with his gentle-looking face, Marietta ultimately stopped wriggling. She became limp just like that on Belvant¡¯s lap, and he washed away the soap from her whole body using the hot water. ¡°You are truly adorable. I want to wash you every day.¡± This chapter is brought to you by Convallaria¡¯s Library. If you¡¯re reading this elsewhere, chances are you¡¯re reading at the site that stole our translation.

Marietta who finally regained her senses back protested with her red face, ¡°Even though I have told you no¡­ you¡¯re so cruel!¡±. Belvant replied, ¡°Sorry,¡± and kissed her. ¡°Sir Belvant, it¡¯s so delicious.¡± Marietta smiled and said that as she enjoyed her breakfast on the table set in the garden, with the wind blowing in a pleasant manner. ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± The one who answered was Belvant who was a bit discouraged. What awaited Belvant who planned to have another round if possible as he carried Marietta out from the bath was the lady attendant who devoted her life to the princess, Sierra. Sierra, along with the other maids in the Fargus residence who treasured the princess equally, snatched the lovely Marietta from his arms. ¡°Oi, wait.¡± ¡°General Fargus, if you cherish the princess, then please refrain from doing it in daytime.¡± ¡°But-¡° ¡°The princess is different from a knight whose pride is their excessive stamina. As a princess who was born to the royal family, she is a really delicate person. Right now, the princess needs to eat and rest.¡± ¡°However-¡° ¡°In order to live in happiness for many years to come, please try to take the princess¡¯ condition into consideration calmly, without being deluded with your immediate desire. If it¡¯s General Fargus who is the pride of Oltaire, surely you will be able to do that, right?¡± ¡°No, even I-¡° ¡°Okay?¡± ¡°¡­¡± General Fargus has been defeated. After taking a good breakfast in the garden during the refreshing morning, Marietta who was slowly drinking the tea after her meal was immediately placed on Belvant¡¯s lap as he gazed at Marietta affectionately while thinking that he wanted to do it. ¡°Sir Belvant.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°I¡¯m feeling so happy right now. From now on and until forever, I will be able to spend my time together with Sir Belvant like this, right?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right.¡± ¡°Sir Belvant, I love you.¡± Looking at the dazzling Marietta who innocently smiled at him, Belvant¡¯s chest was enveloped in a profound affection. ¡°I also love you. I¡¯m truly delighted that I can make you my wife.¡± ¡°Oh dear¡­¡± Marietta turned bright red as she was showered by his words of love with a sweetly bewitching face that he would only show to her. ¡°Marietta, are you full?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± ¡°Then, shall we go?¡± After Belvant stood up from his chair, he lifted Marietta with one hand. ¡°Sierra, don¡¯t disturb us until dinner. I will look after Marietta.¡± ¡°General Fargus.¡± ¡°I won¡¯t do anything that can hurt my wife. Believe me for even a little bit.¡± ¡°¡­Understood.¡± Sierra backed down and sighed. It was because she saw Marietta¡¯s arms twined around Belvant¡¯s neck and it seemed like she didn¡¯t want to let go. ¡°Please take care of the princess.¡± ¡°I understand.¡± He nodded and returned to the residence just like that, with his wife in his arms. Aah, the princess has already gotten married, huh? The maid, who has been by Marietta¡¯s side for so long, now felt a little bit lonely. However, she thought that General Fargus who loves the princess so much would be able to make the princess happy. Although there were still occasions where she had to keep a watchful eye on him, Sierra thought to leave the decision to the princess. [Please let them be happy forever.] Sierra muttered in her mind as she faced the two¡¯s retreating figures. Extra 2 Marietta’s Request Extra Chapter 2 Marietta¡¯s Request Author¡¯s Note: It¡¯s another chapter of Marietta after a while. Feel free to enjoy this sweet, sweet lovey dovey life of the blue fairy and Oltaire¡¯s fierce god (v1). I won¡¯t take any responsibility in case you¡¯re going to vomit sugar from your mouth (v). ¡°Welcome home, my dear husband.¡± When Belvant returned home from his work, his beloved wife, Marietta rushed out of the entranceway when she heard the sound of his carriage arriving. As General Belvant Fargus came down from the carriage and looked at his beloved wife¡¯s smile which resembled the blooming pink rosebud, the scary face of a person known as Oltaire¡¯s fierce god broke out into a wide smile. [Aah, how adorable, Marietta, who¡¯s mine, and mine alone! I missed you¡­] Though you just saw her this morning. His wife whose age was quite apart from him was a cherished princess, but due to her straight and docile dispositions, her behavior still reeked off some childishness. Even today, she had been waiting for her beloved husband to return home happily at the entrance hall, rolled up the skirt of her dress to lightly sprint just like a fairy all the way to the carriage to greet him. ¡°Sir Belvant-!¡± Marietta who walked her last several steps before jumping and throwing herself into his embrace, an embrace that could turn Belvant¡¯s normally intense expression that could be said scarier than a fiendish and eerie demon into the face of a handsome knight. He rubbed his cheeks together with that small blond head of hers. While he was at it, he sniffed her fragrant to make sure that she really only belonged to him. [Yosh, there is no smell of another man.] The hotheaded General Belvant was a soldier who was constantly on guard without leaving any gap in it. ¡°Hahahaha, what¡¯s wrong, Marietta? You¡¯re becoming more adorable and spoiled today¡­ did you feel lonely?¡± Although the figure of her jumping at a man was improper for a lady, but he considered her as excessively adorable, his beloved wife who showed her love towards him with her whole body. ¡°Of course, I missed my husband! But well, today¡­¡± The petite and slender Marietta looked up at the face of her husband, who¡¯s a strong soldier. ¡°I have a favor to ask of you, Sir Belvant.¡± Being drawn in by her widened blue pupils, Belvant¡¯s face approached, and just like that, he stole a kiss from her lips. Marietta received his lips and responded to his kiss. Then, Belvant lightly lifted up the body of his wife who was blushing happily with just one of his hands and began walking. As usual, Marietta naturally supported her body by wrapping her hands around her husband¡¯s neck. ¡°You have a favor to ask of me? How rare. If it¡¯s your wish, Marietta, then I will grant whatever you want. Whatever country you want, I will defeat them for you, okay?¡± As expected of a fierce god, the level of his generosity is different. However, please do not implement it. ¡°Well, as expected of Sir Belvant. Uhm, my wish is¡­¡± Marietta saddled her husband¡¯s neck and put her lips closer to his ears. ¡°I¡¯m embarrassed to say it, so I will tell you later on.¡± After she whispered with her small voice, Marietta laughed, ¡°Ufufu.¡± At the same time, she stuck her reddened cheek close to her husband¡¯s cheek. [Sir Belvant, I lo-ve you!] ¡°¡­T-that is, is it an embarrassing request?¡± Belvant asked as he took a rough breath while restraining the feeling of wanting to attack his adorable wife who was similar to a cute kitten¡ªthe feeling that ran throughout his whole body. ¡°Yeah. It¡¯s a bit improper.¡± ¡°Uumu, is that so?¡± At Marietta¡¯s words, Belvant, who ran various tangible imaginations about his new wife¡¯s embarrassing request, was full of his prime energy at the age of 30 years old. ¡°Then, tell me when it¡¯s just the two of us alone. Just leave it to me, I will grant whatever your wish is, I¡¯ll devote myself wholeheartedly to grant it!¡± ¡°Oh my, what a reliable husband¡­¡± Speaking of devoting himself wholeheartedly, Marietta, who had been looking towards Belvant¡¯s pectoral muscle at a glance, stealthily thought, ¡®His muscles are so lovely even today, too! Aah, I wonder if I will really be reprimanded if I were to gently caress those muscles now?¡¯ ¡°Well then, I will tell you about it later.¡± ¡°Yeah, later¡­¡± Marietta gazed at her husband with a slightly red face, and Belvant gazed at her with amorous and passionate gaze. The two of them brought about a pink atmosphere around their circumference, and the servants who were watching over them, moreover Sierra who was loyal to Princess Marietta sighed and thought deep inside her mind, ¡®Please just save that kind of thing for when you are in your bedroom¡­ They¡¯re like this every time, though¡­¡¯ Now, the General thought that it was rare for Marietta to be making a request. Being the youngest princess of the Stellaus kingdom, Marietta was raised while being pampered by everyone else, and so, the things that she seemed to desire were all quickly given in advance by the people around her. Due to it, she seemed to be lacking of greed. Despite living such a blessed life, she didn¡¯t seem to wish for anything on her own accord and was quite satisfied with whatever she had. She didn¡¯t even wish for new dresses or jewels just like the other princesses would typically wish for, and she felt happy to use what she possessed. ¡®This was what my father bought me as a present, and this one was a birthday present from my big sister,¡¯ such was how she would remember the origin of her possessions and use them many times over with pleasure. Although it is economical, but in actuality, it¡¯s necessary for the nobles to buy jewelries and invest their money around. ¡°Therefore, please pay attention to it, General Fargus.¡± One day, Sierra said that. ¡°The princess has necessities such as buying new pastries, accessories, and dresses in order to attend evening parties. Those things had been provided by all of her family members in Stellaus, but from now on, it will be your duty as her husband.¡± ¡°But why pastries?¡± ¡°It is important to buy pastries for Princess Marietta. Not only pastries, but you would also need to buy the things sold in Oltaire¡¯s shops that the nobles and the royal family members bought. As the sales increase, fads will rise, and that will also liven up the economy.¡± ¡°Is that so? Well then, I¡¯ll leave whatever necessary to Sierra¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s important for the husband to provide them for the wife! General Fargus, please try to understand a female¡¯s heart more. Why did you think I wrote up [Marietta Report] and reported all of the princess¡¯ preferences to you? The princess really loves romantic things, and she will surely consider the dresses that you buy for her as her valuable treasures, not the dresses that the maids prepare for her!¡± ¡°I see. Will Marietta be happy if I were to be the one to choose them?¡± ¡°She will be so delighted that she would dance on the spot.¡± Imagining that figure of Marietta, the two of them calmed down. Those two people were equal in terms of their love towards Marietta. ¡°Understood. Then, I will keep that in mind, and I would like your cooperation to notify me about whatever Marietta needs. Is that fine, Sierra?¡± ¡°I gladly receive your order.¡± ¡°And then, can I say one more thing?¡± ¡°Yes?¡± ¡°I think it would be good for you to understand more about a male¡¯s heart. Go and pamper Adlan more. I don¡¯t have any other choice than to bother you with that, as he would be able to strive more at his work if he feels satisfied.¡± ¡°Wha-, wai-.¡± ¡°Sierra turned bright red. ¡°Men will feel happy if they¡¯re being relied on. Hahaha, if it suits you, then you can try to jump at Adlan just like what Marietta did, he would surely be so delighted.¡± Sierra only responded by laughing as she watched Belvant¡¯s back as he went away, and then she sat on her knees while dejectedly muttered, ¡°Kh, to be defeated by General Fargus like that¡­ So despicable!¡± After that, when they were done eating dinner and taking a bath, it was time for the pair of husband and wife. Marietta was wearing a thin nightgown as she let her blonde hair down from the arranged style she had during the day as a typical young wife and she managed to incite the male instincts of her husband, Belvant, who had been spending his time together with her every day after their marriage. ¡°Marietta, come.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Belvant.¡± And now, Marietta¡ªwho had always been obedient to her beloved husband¡ªsettled into her husband¡¯s arms as Belvant sat on top of the bed, and then she smiled happily. Or more precisely, she grinned. She snuggled up her cheeks to his chest¡¯s muscles, circled her hands around his back, and she was grinning while caressing his arms¡¯ muscles around. [Aaah, my husband¡¯s muscles are so lovely even tonight, as well! From this level of tightness, he surely had been training hard today, too.] Being able to comprehend how the muscles were used just by touching them alone¡ªshe seems to be ready to change her job into a muscle trainer. ¡°Come now, what¡¯s your request?¡± Belvant asked his adorable wife who was in his arms while being excited. He really was expecting it to be something indecent. ¡°Uhm, I¡­ I want to learn how to ride a horse.¡± ¡°Riding a horse?¡± ¡­What a pity, it was not something indecent at all. However, as a renowned general, Belvant didn¡¯t let his thoughts leak out and seriously answered. ¡°Weren¡¯t you able to ride a horse?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s not about how I sat sideways on the saddle, but I want to ride it like how men ride horses. During this afternoon¡¯s tea party, I heard that it¡¯s popular for women to be able to ride and handle horses in Oltaire. Hey, Sir Belvant, can I?¡± Since the figure of Marietta who was tilting her head while gently pressing his arms with her palms was so adorable, naturally Belvant would give his permission. ¡°I do not mind as long as you¡¯ll be careful so that you won¡¯t get hurt.¡± ¡°Thank goodness! Thank you very much. It¡¯s said that horse riding is good for your health and beauty because of the way you get to exercise your body well.¡± ¡°I see, so that¡¯s why it became popular among women. Since you¡¯re already beautiful enough, I think that it¡¯s still good if you would be able to keep your health well by doing so.¡± With this, Belvant thought that the conversation was over and pushed her down on the bed while kissing her. But then, Marietta said, ¡°Please wait,¡± and so, he helped her sit up. ¡°Also, there is another favor I would like to ask of you. In order to ride a horse, it seems that it¡¯s important to train your legs and loins. I heard from everyone that it would be better for me to ask my husband to help me with that¡­¡± ¡°Me? Yeah, I will help you with anything. Shall I take you on a long ride?¡± ¡°There seems to be a better way. Uhm, I¡­¡± Marietta smiled and said. ¡°Please let me be on top tonight.¡± ¡°O-¡­ on top, you said?¡± Belvant asked again, as he was unable to comprehend the words that flew by his young wife¡¯s mouth, who was still very much innocent. ¡°Countess Hyamir told me about it. ¡®There is a wonderful way that can train your legs and loins while making men delighted, so you¡¯d better ask your husband to help you do it every day,¡¯ so she said. Hey, Sir Belvant, will that be fine? That, can we do it in a way that I can be on top? Hey, I¡¯m begging you.¡± ¡°Bu¡ª¡± Oltaire¡¯s fierce god was knocked down with just one blow. He groaned and quickly covered his reddening face with one of his hands. [What is going on here, I thought that the tea party was a place full of terrifying and bewitching intrigues, but¡­ I didn¡¯t know, I didn¡¯t know¡­] Good job, Countess! Belvant screamed in his own mind. ¡°¡­Understood. Then, I will help you, Marietta, so that you will be able to become an expert at horse-riding.¡± ¡°Really? I¡¯m so happy, thank you very much!¡± ¡°What is it? I don¡¯t mind, I don¡¯t mind it at all, so go ahead and ride on top of me to your heart¡¯s content!¡± ¡°Ahn, ahn, ahn, Sir, Belvant, why is it, like this, aahn.¡± Marietta who was blushing with her moist eyes asked Belvant as she was being pinned down by him. Her husband had just taken a position between her widely opened legs and was caressing Marietta¡¯s secret place with his diligent tongue as his fingers were inserted in the secret hole while fumbling with it. ¡°If we don¡¯t loosen your body enough, it will be hard to ride on, so¡­ Hey, what about here? Don¡¯t you like it?¡± ¡°Aah-, don¡¯t, not there, noo!¡± ¡°How adorable, it¡¯s this stiff¡­ It¡¯s such a lovely obscene bud.¡± Belvant¡¯s eyes were glittering with passion as he teased Marietta¡¯s sensitive tapering point with his tongue, deliciously gnawing on it and squashing it around. ¡°Aaaaaah, aaaaaaaahhhhn!¡± Marietta bent her body while shedding tears, reaching her climax. ¡°You have to brace yourself, Marietta. Don¡¯t you want to be tempered in preparation to horse riding?¡± ¡°Yes.¡± Belvant relentlessly raised her limp young wife. Just like that, he embraced her close to his chest and kissed her. ¡°I¡¯ll help you, so be an expert in horse-riding, and surprise the other noble ladies.¡± [Oh dear, Mrs. Fargus, what a magnificent way of handling the reins!] (¡­I almost typed ¡°t¡± after reins just because one of my original novel¡¯s characters is named Reinst¡­) [As expected of the General¡¯s wife!] [The general¡¯s teaching method is surely exceptional, right?] Yeah, that¡¯s right! My husband is the most dreamy in the whole world that he was able to teach me anything in such a wonderful way! ¡°Sir Belvant, I will try my best and ride on top!¡± Towards his wife who declared such an obscene resolution (though she was completely unaware of it) with her bewitched face and smile, Belvant had the eyes of a beast and said with his rough breathing, ¡°I see, I will be giving you a hand.¡± ¡°Now, think of this place as a saddle and sit down on it without any reservation.¡± From the center of Belvant¡¯s body which was facing up, one enormous wedge was looking up at the sky. ¡°Spread your legs and straddle it, now.¡± ¡°But¡­¡± Marietta slightly hesitated as she wondered if a wife would be considered acting impolite if she were to ride her bottom on top of her husband¡¯s body. ¡°What¡¯s wrong? Are you scared? I will be supporting your hips, so you can rest assured and drop your hips.¡± ¡°Then, please excuse me¡­ Aah, but, as I thought¡­¡± Marietta showed a troubled expression. ¡°It¡¯s going to be quite difficult because there¡¯s my dear husband¡¯s superb item there.¡± Marietta thought that the thing which was towering up towards the sky was getting in her way. ¡°I¡¯m going to bump into it.¡± Belvant was pondering on the meaning behind her words before he finally grinned. This adorable wife of his, it seems that she doesn¡¯t get the meaning of [being the top] in regards to bedroom matters. ¡°Marietta, it¡¯s all right. You are supposed to drop your hips while pushing my thing inside of you.¡± ¡°Inside of¡­ eeeeh?!¡± Marietta widened her eyes and turned bright red while saying, ¡°Nooo!¡± ¡°That¡¯s got to be a lie, right? For me to be straddling my husband, and then that enormous rod would be completely implanted deep inside my own secret place, right?¡± In response to the princess who lost her mind uttered such an excessively indecent thing, Belvant¡¯s excited thing was getting even more energetic. ¡°Aaah, my dear husband, please don¡¯t get any bigger than this! Really, such a meanie!¡± The moist blue pupils that uttered such a thing were truly irresistible for him. ¡°Even after you said such a thing? You shouldn¡¯t be excessively adorable too, you know? This thing really wanted to get inside you that it turned like this, so Marietta, you should take a responsibility.¡± ¡°Oh dear, is it my fault?¡± Belvant seriously nodded and reached out for his wife. ¡°Now, push it inside of you.¡± ¡°¡­Understood.¡± While Marietta¡¯s petite figure was caught by her husband¡¯s hands, she straddled above the towering atrocious thing. Belvant was watching intently at the unfolding scene before his eyes¡ªat his wife¡¯s figure as she dropped her hips steadily with her moist eyes. Yes, this Belvant, the one who was addressed as his country¡¯s guardian deity, was actually just a perverted middle-aged man. What a disappointment, it was truly disappointing. Marietta who hadn¡¯t noticed that she was being observed with such obscene gaze, was earnestly performing her task. Her slender white fingers held the hot rod and established her aim, inviting it to her own drenched secret hole. [Khuu, Marietta, your adorable figure looked so arousing as you held my thing, trying to insert it in, this is unbearable, your existence alone is like a lethal weapon!] The guardian deity of Oltaire breathed roughly as he was being stimulated by his wife. What an utter disappointment. ¡°Ei, ahn, yaaahn.¡± Marietta was struggling because the thing that had already become way too enormous was not at a suitable size for a beginner to deal with. Using her determination to sit down vigorously, she rubbed it against the wet entrance. ¡°Ah, I can¡¯t take it anymore!¡± Belvant grasped Marietta¡¯s body and pulled her. ¡°Aaaaaaaaaaaaahn!!¡± The wedge was pierced in one go, and Marietta was taken aback. Her secret place¡¯s meat was constricting Belvant¡¯s thing tightly, and it wriggled around indecently to the point that it was about to be finished. [No, if I¡¯m finished here, right now, then I won¡¯t be able to help Marietta accomplish her objective!] To not forget his wife¡¯s wish even in the middle of an extreme pleasure like this, as expected of the hotheaded general, what a worthy willpower he possesses! [Even when I managed to play as a male horse through such a great trouble!] He was just a perverted middle-aged man. Marietta¡¯s mind turned blank for an instant, but her consciousness returned from the tension that was transmitted to her palms from her husband¡¯s abdominal muscles. As expected of the general, even his abdominal muscles did such a good job. ¡°My dear husband, don¡¯t fill me up this deep. I can¡¯t move.¡± ¡°Dear Marietta, you shouldn¡¯t easily whine like this. The path of improvement is to be able to bear up and continue to be zealous even during painful moments. All of the knights have exceeded their own limit as they gained experiences and made improvements. Now, put your strength into your legs and loins and try to move your body steadily.¡± ¡°Oh my, I feel ashamed for making such a complaint earlier. Understood, I will try my best so it won¡¯t be a disgrace for me as the general¡¯s wife!¡± The brave young wife, Marietta. Then, Belvant is the lowest perverted general. Marietta held onto Belvant¡¯s arms which were supporting her slender hips with both hands, as she began to raise her hips. ¡°Ah-.¡± And then, she dropped it. ¡°Hwaa, uuh!¡± Raising it and dropping it. ¡°Auh, fwaah, fuu, hyann, ahn, this is, not good!¡± ¡°Kuu, good, Marietta, it¡¯s not ¡®not good¡¯ at all!¡± ¡°But, aahn, deep inside, at the place I don¡¯t know where, it¡¯s rubbed, and became, weird, uuu!¡± Marietta raised her voice while moving her hips up and down. She gradually got the hang of it and increased her speed, but the deep piercings that accompanied it rubbed obscenely into the places that had never been drilled before as the towering rod got even higher due to the stimulus that it received. ¡°Aaah, noo, more, enough, it feels good, save me, haan, aahn, more, more, please, deep inside, more¡­¡± Her mind became vague due to the pleasure she felt as she blurted out unthinkable things and begged her husband. In front of Marietta¡¯s figure as she indecently gasped while jolting her two bulging white plumps and unskillfully shaking her hips, Belvant couldn¡¯t endure it any longer. ¡°Marietta, deeper, huh? I understand, I will grant your request! Uoooooooooooo¡ª¨C!¡± ¡°Aaaaaaaah¡ª¡ª-!¡± Belvant pushed her hips down as he intensely pushed his way up. Marietta whose insides were pressured, felt an intense stimulus and in no time reached her climax, her exhausted body was trembling with her disheveled golden hair. Belvant injected his passion into her hot and tender insides. Marietta who used up all her strength collapsed on top of her beloved husband¡¯s pectoral muscle and lost her consciousness. ¡°Look at this, Sir Belvant!¡± ¡°Ooh, what a splendid job. You handled the reins well. Marietta is someone who keeps on her efforts in difficult circumstances, so you¡¯ve made this improvement in horse-riding. I need to give you a reward.¡± ¡°Ufufu, it¡¯s all thanks to my dear husband¡¯s guidance.¡± Marietta proudly rode on top of the running horse. Her lower half of the body was firmly maintained, and with her stable and lovely posture, she handled the horse to her heart¡¯s content. ¡°I should also give a reward to you, my dear husband.¡± Marietta who dismounted the horse said that as she embraced her beloved husband who watched attentively and affectionately at her. ¡°What should I do, I wonder what should I give you?¡± ¡°Hahaha, don¡¯t worry about it. I¡¯m your husband, so for me to grant your requests, isn¡¯t it a matter of course? Other than that, it¡¯d be nice for you to keep on training your legs and loins. You have to strive more from now on if you¡¯re aiming to be an expert in horse-riding.¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Belvant!¡± Marietta looked up at Belvant with an admiring feeling while thinking, ¡®What a truly magnificent husband! He¡¯s always thinking about me and taught me many things. I¡¯m truly happy to have married this person!¡¯ ¡°Umu, what a good answer.¡± Belvant showed his sweet smile while caressing Marietta¡¯s head gently. [Aah, my cute and adorable Marietta. I want to abandon everything and bring her to the bed at once, I want to love her, and then, I want her to ride on me, not on a horse and moan!] Although his face was that of a young noble¡¯s, the insides of his head was full of indecent delusion. What a disappointment Belvant is. ¡°My dear husband¡­¡± Without having any idea of that, Marietta sweetly clung on to her beloved and reliable husband. Belvant held up his beloved wife in his arms and whispered close to her ear. ¡°As a reward, let¡¯s kiss a lot.¡± ¡°I¡¯m so happy¡­¡± Her small palms held Belvant¡¯s cheek as Marietta smiled. Before long, the two exchanged passionate kisses. Yes, since the two of them are happy, then all is good. Probably. Author¡¯s Note: Thank you very much for reading. Omake: ¡°Sir Adlan! L-let¡¯s go!¡± ¡°Yaah, Sierra, eh, eeh, uwaah!¡± The cool maid jumped at the handsome knight brother, Adlan. Adlan was tightly hugged. [Aah, as expected, it isn¡¯t a behavior that suits me¡­] ¡°Sir Adlan, I¡¯m sorry for suddenly¡­¡± ¡°Belvant, we¡¯ll be taking a break! Perhaps we will come back tomorrow morning!¡± Then, Adlan turned into a beast. Extra 3 Adlan’s Jealousy (First Volume) Extra Chapter 3 Adlan¡¯s Jealousy (First Volume) Author¡¯s Pre-Chapter Note: It¡¯s time for Sierra and Adlan¡¯s lovey dovey story now. The same as each and every time, it will give you a sweet flavor. ¡°¡­Adlan.¡± ¡°What is it?¡± ¡°N-no, it¡¯s something trivial, but¡­¡± The man who hesitated to say what was on his mind was the man who was called as Oltaire¡¯s guardian deity, General Belvant Fargus. The opposite party was the lieutenant general, Adlan Carlkus.1 He is Belvant¡¯s right-hand man, the man who compensates for Belvant¡¯s chipped communication skills and other things. He always has a smiling face and is sociable, not to mention that he¡¯s quite friendly and gives off the vibe of the big brother next to you. His popularity among women is also high (in contrast to Belvant). If such a him were to comb down his gentle and bright brown-colored hair neatly, attend an evening party while wearing ceremonial dress, and then laughed with his glistening green pupils, the women who yearned after him wouldn¡¯t mind even if it was only a dream, they¡¯d flock together and request him to at least have a one-song dance with them. That handsome and popular noble youth, Adlan is currently engaged to Sierra who is a cool beauty maid who came along with the Stellaus¡¯ Princess Marietta due to her wedding, and they were supposed to spend everyday full of happiness, but¡­ ¡°Adlan.¡± ¡°Like I told you, what is it?¡± ¡°Your attitude is bad.¡± ¡°¡­Whoa-, I¡¯m doomed. I have never thought that there would come a day where I¡¯d be warned about attitude by you¡­¡± It¡¯s understandable for him to distort his face in a complete detest. For you see, as far as General Belvant Fargus is concerned, with his constant grim face that looked like a frowned demon, when it comes to his attitude, he¡¯s so unsociable that it¡¯s a synonym for something awfully terrible. ¡°I do not mean to criticize you. I just felt like you are different than usual, so I was wondering if something was bothering you or not. If you don¡¯t want to talk about it, then I don¡¯t mind even if you don¡¯t talk about it.¡± After saying just that, Belvant left Adlan just as he was, and began to continue his work to review the current status of each fortress and the arrangements planned from hereafter, then make judgments based on the information. The man who has spent most of his life revolving on his job, no, Belvant who was a man among men, has a thin interest in regards to other matters, and asking him to show a polite and attentive consideration is without doubt akin to asking a dragon to become a hot-water bottle. Apart from the matter concerning his beloved wife, Marietta, though. ¡°Thanks, Belvant. It¡¯s just a mere weakness of mine.¡± Adlan muttered a few words. ¡°I just feel slightly depressed due to the accumulated trivial matters¡­ Really, it¡¯s just something dull.¡± ¡°The more you say that it¡¯s something insignificant, the more it will become small pointed thorns cutting into your heart.¡± ¡°¡­That phrase, just where did you learn it?¡± ¡°Well¡­¡± He can¡¯t say that he picked it up from Marietta¡¯s favorite book. With a face and a body full of vigor, he read Marietta¡¯s recommended romance novel while holding a delicately produced cup (Marietta selected it) that had tea poured into it¡ªand he held it with his rustic hand. From that book, he nonchalantly memorized the sweet words that a married couple usually recited to each other. It¡¯s definitely something that he can¡¯t bring himself to say. Aah, Belvant! Just to what extend do you like Marietta?! ¡°If I were to say it in a brief sentence, it¡¯s that I feel unhappy because Sierra adores your bride too much that she doesn¡¯t care about me! That¡¯s it!¡± Towards the words that were said without any hesitation, Belvant knitted his brows and his face turned even scarier. ¡°¡­That is¡­¡± Belvant can¡¯t say anything about it. After all, it¡¯s the truth. He has a self-consciousness on how much they¡ªthe married couple¡ªrelied on the diligent and capable Sierra who accompanied Princess Marietta who came from the country of Stellaus for her marriage. Certainly, most of Sierra¡¯s time is spent for Marietta¡­ If one were to look at it objectively, it¡¯s deemed to have reached the extent where she even ignores Adlan who is her fianc¨¦. ¡°It¡¯s fine, it¡¯s just my idle complaint! There¡¯s no way I can deny that girl¡¯s raison d¡¯etre, so this conversation ends with just this, Now, shall we do our job?¡± Adlan said that with an easy attitude just as usual, as if it was nothing for him. ¡°Sir Belvant-!!¡± Several days later, Marietta who came to observe her husband¡¯s gallant figure under the pretense of observing the Oltaire¡¯s chivalric order, called Belvant¡¯s name with a delightful voice, as she dashed towards him just like that and jumped to his embrace. The one who turned up afterwards was the maid with a tense dorsal muscles, Sierra. She gently watched over the petite Marietta who was lifted by Belvant with just one hand, with a delighted smile that looked as if someone tickled the area below her chin. ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to seeing my husband¡¯s gallant figure today, too.¡± Let¡¯s not mention that she becomes like a maniac to see how those wonderful muscles are going to be put to use. ¡°Hahaha, I still have to work even harder. When you come here, it feels like the knights are inspired for some reason, and they seem to improve a lot.¡± Before the adorable princess who blushes as she observes them, the members of the chivalric order become excessively resolute than usual. ¡°Oh dear. As for me¡­ uhm, as General Fargus¡¯ wife, I¡¯ll be happy if I can be helpful no matter how small it is.¡± Marietta said that with a puffed up chest as she was slightly bashful. ¡°However, just keep your gaze at me only. You¡¯re only my wife, after all.¡± Being kissed by Belvant who let his desire to monopolize her remain undisguised, Marietta sweetly and bashfully sayd, ¡°The wife of Sir Belvant alone¡­ ufufu¡­¡± Because it has become a routine to see this married couple¡¯s lovey dovey lovestruck couple, Sierra and Adlan weren¡¯t astonished and only looked at them with halfhearted eyes and lightly ignored them. However. Sierra who was standing quietly close to the wall saw Adlan who was collecting the documents while saying, ¡°Your work efficiency improves when the princess comes, huh-? Oh you.¡± [Why don¡¯t you fawn on Adlan more?] She recalled Belvant¡¯s self-satisfied look a few days ago. I wonder if what this uncouth and unromantic atrocious-faced General who couldn¡¯t understand a woman¡¯s heart said was true? I wonder if Sir Adlan would be delighted if I were to coax and fawn on him just like Miss Marietta? She was doing a thorough evaluation. However, she knew that the hotheaded general, Belvant¡¯s muscle-brain wasn¡¯t fully composed of muscles to the extent that he was a simpleton man. Sierra who was watching over Marietta¡¯s condition suddenly turned her face towards her fianc¨¦. ¡°W-what is it, dear Sierra?¡±2 You¡¯re so cute today, too, the gentle fianc¨¦¡¯s clear green eyes narrowed and smiled. Sierra abruptly bit her lips, looked at his direction, and said. ¡°Sir Adlan, h-here I go!¡± ¡°Eh? Eeeeeh?!¡± Sierra didn¡¯t give him any chance and rushed over to Adlan agilely, then she jumped at him. ¡°Uwaa!¡± Even as he was surprised by his fianc¨¦e¡¯s sudden behavior, Adlan who has always tempered his body safely caught Sierra¡¯s slender body. Adlan who was embracing the warm and soft body of a young woman¡ªfurthermore, his own fianc¨¦e¡ªinadvertently buried his face in her shoulders and ended up inhaling the sweet and fragrant scent in his chest and thought, ¡°Whoa, this is dangerous!¡± ¡°¡­Sierra, what¡¯s wrong, for you to suddenly do this?¡± While suppressing the impulse to (sexually) eat Sierra completely at that place, Adlan desperately pulled his face, faced her beautiful blue pupils and asked. Now, now, Sierra has worked so hard. As a cool beauty maid who has a firm character, she doesn¡¯t have any experience in behaving like a spoiled child to others. However, in accordance to Belvant¡¯s words, it seems that it¡¯s quite necessary for her to fawn on Adlan. Since it¡¯s necessary¡­ No, Sierra wanted to please Adlan. Being devoted to the princess, she even thought that she wouldn¡¯t mind to remain unmarried for her whole life, but she actually loved her fianc¨¦, Adlan, so much. Although she wasn¡¯t so aware of it, she fell in love with the gentle and slightly reliable knight with green eyes, as he always watched over her in her vicinity. Though it was an engagement that was decided rashly by Adlan, she was very happy. Even as she was bewildered at Adlan¡¯s manly figure as he was extremely more passionate than what she thought that she experienced during when they slept together for the first time, she was still very happy. When she was thinking about him, a warm and sweet feelings were born deep inside her heart that it ended up loosening her mouth softly. Unlike Marietta, she was hard to understand because she didn¡¯t show much emotion on her expressions. However, Sierra loves Adlan so, so, soooo much. That¡¯s why, she genuinely wanted to please Adlan. [Oh my, I wonder if I did it wrong? Sir Adlan didn¡¯t have that much of a reaction.] Sierra was slightly dispirited by her fianc¨¦¡¯s condition that didn¡¯t seem to be very delighted. She tried so hard to recall Marietta¡¯s usual appearance as she was good at behaving like a spoiled child, and was her role model. [Uhm¡­ how does the princess usually do it, I wonder?] After Sierra stood on a tiptoe, much to his surprise, she put her own cheek on Adlan¡¯s cheek. *rub, rub, rub* Sierra¡¯s soft cheek gently glided on top of the man¡¯s skin. [Ah¡­ it turns out that putting your cheeks like this could produce this kind of a superfluous happiness.] (T/N: R-really? Do I need to do this as an experiment?! O_O) While savoring Adlan¡¯s texture with her cheek, Sierra softly laughed. [Sir Adlan¡­ Sir Adlan¡­ I love you¡­] She whispered inside her own heart, as she fawned on him. After feeling sufficient from snuggling up her cheek as she circled her hands on his neck, she released her face from him. Looking at Adlan with her smiling face, she was taken aback. [Ah¡­ How could this be? Sir Adlan isn¡¯t pleased at all¡­ This is surely a behavior that doesn¡¯t suit me at all. To think that I could attract sir Adlan by imitating the adorable princess, how presumptuous of me¡­] Unable to endure it, tears gradually formed in her eyes, and with a flushed face, she hung her head down. ¡°S-Sir Adlan¡­ P-please excuse me¡­ for being so sudden¡­¡± Despite thinking that she ought to apologize for displeasing Adlan, her voice couldn¡¯t really come out. At that time when she slowly released her hands which were circling on his neck, and when she tried to swallow her miserable feelings to the extent that she felt like crying¡­ ¡°Belvant, we will be taking a day off! Perhaps we will take it until tomorrow morning!¡± Adlan shouted with a voice that seemed like he was at his wits¡¯ end, then he held up Sierra¡¯s body in his arms. ¡°Kyaaa!¡± Unable to cope with this sudden movement, Sierra was taken away just like that. ¡°I won¡¯t mind even if you¡¯re taking a break until the day after tomorrow¡¯s night.¡± Belvant said that while grinning. ¡°Our work has reached a point where we can safely pause it, so it¡¯s fine if you want to be at ease and take a day off. Use the carriage.¡± ¡°Ooh, I¡¯m saved, thanks! Then, excuse us.¡± ¡°Eh? Eh? General Fargus, I, eeh?¡± ¡°Let¡¯s go, Sierra!¡± While being unable to comprehend the situation, Sierra was taken into the carriage owned by the chivalric order, and was placed on top of Adlan¡¯s lap with his strong arms tightly holding her. Just like that, she was brought to the house of the lieutenant general, Adlan Carlkus. ¡°It¡¯s fine, Sierra, we¡¯re only going to drink the tea together.¡± It is definitely a lie! Author¡¯s Post-Chapter Note: Since the extra about Adlan and Sierra has gotten too long, it¡¯s been split into parts. In the next chapter, Adlan and Sierra will be drinking the tea together. They¡¯re drinking the tea together, but¡­ it might be an absurdly sweet tea. Extra 4 Adlan’s Jealousy (Second Volume) Extra Chapter 4 Adlan¡¯s Jealousy (Second Volume) The Carlkus residence was considered to be in an uproar upon the unexpected early return of the residence¡¯s owner. In addition, just right in the arms of the owner who suddenly appeared, there was his beautiful fianc¨¦e who was being hugged. The servants who welcomed the important guest without preparing anything didn¡¯t seem to be worried that much. For you see, the owner of this residence was the skilled lieutenant general who could deftly handle the country¡¯s state of emergency. The servants of the Carlkus residence who had always worked for him was more or less trained in terms of their coping abilities. Today too, they should just do their work well, while being centered on their revered butler who usually issued out accurate orders. ¡°Sir Adlan¡­ Please let me down quickly. Hey, I¡¯m begging you.¡± Sierra whose face was bright red, said while shaking Adlan¡¯s muscular and solid arms. ¡°Hey, Sir Adlaan¡­¡± In response to Siera whose tone unconsciously turned slightly spoiled due to the fact that she¡¯d be all alone with Adlan, Adlan¡¯s heart was in agony, screaming, ¡®Kuuuuh, how cutee, I want to eat her, I want to lick her face and body all over with all my heart! What kind of face is she making this early during the day, stirring up my heart, this little kitten?!¡¯ However, he couldn¡¯t let his thought out, so Adlan answered while trying to calm himself down. ¡°Yes, please wait a little bit more.¡± [We¡¯re in such a sweet situation, there¡¯s no way I can put her down now, right?] Adlan who was hugging Sierra while looking at her with a loving gaze, also showed a gentle smile, then kissing the adorable silver kitten with her wet blue eyes who was completely snuggled up in his arms, making a kissing sound. He splendidly managed to cover his inner thought, and no matter how you looked at him, he was a calm noble young man. With Adlan¡¯s unilateral victory from the battle of putting down or not putting down Sierra from when they were still in the royal palace, Sierra¡¯s buttocks hadn¡¯t touched anything other than Adlan, and she entered the residence¡¯s entrance hall while still being princess-carried, making her visit to the residence under the feelings of wanting to run away. Finally, she was able to sit down on top of the sofa at Carlkus residence¡¯s reception room. ¡°Be a good girl and wait while you drink the tea, okay?¡± Adlan said that as he dropped a kiss to Sierra¡¯s forehead, then he went out of the room in order to issue orders to the butler. In front of Sierra¡ªand despite her sudden visit¡ªthere were a full set of freshly brewed tea, various snacks, and light meals such as sandwich. ¡°To think that I¡¯ll have a break until the day after tomorrow¡¯s night, I wonder what¡¯s the matter so suddenly? I wonder what I can do for Sir Adlan? Shall we just enjoy our time leisurely while drinking tea, as he promised?¡± No, no, it definitely won¡¯t end with just drinking tea! Nevertheless, Sierra who was happy to be pampered by her beloved fianc¨¦e, was carrying Marietta¡¯s favorite romance novel (Sierra was half-forcefully asked to read it). While pressing down her faintly blushing cheeks, she thought, ¡®Even if my attempt to act spoiled failed, I¡¯m glad that Sir Adlan is so affectionate,¡¯ as she drank her cup of tea. [As expected, the thing that General Fargus said didn¡¯t happen. Acting spoiled and pestering someone like that doesn¡¯t suit anyone other than the adorable princess like Miss Marietta. ¡­Sierra, mind your position! It won¡¯t do good if you don¡¯t have any mannerism just because you managed to get a splendid fianc¨¦ just like Sir Adlan.] So Sierra rebuked herself. The capable maid, perhaps since she was lacking in love experience, for some reason, her self-confidence was so low. When Sierra was elegantly drinking the tea, Adlan returned. ¡°Sorry to keep you waiting.¡± He sat closely next to Sierra, wrapping his arms around her waist. As their bodies were unexpectedly glued together like that, Sierra looked at Adlan with a bewildered face. ¡°Uhm¡­¡± ¡°Sierra, since we have a break today and tomorrow, let¡¯s spend some time together, leisurely. Since we are engaged to each other, don¡¯t you think we need to get to know each other more?¡± ¡°Yes¡­ that¡¯s right.¡± Thinking that they¡¯d have today and tomorrow to be together, Sierra nodded, then she put her tea cup and cprrected her posture. ¡°Then, Sir Adlan, do you have something you want to ask me?¡± ¡°Hahaha, this is not an interview, so there¡¯s no need for you to be this stiff.¡± Adlan took Sierra¡¯s hand as he laughed, kissing her fingertips. However, he then put one of Sierra¡¯s tender fingers into his mouth. ¡°Ahh¡­¡± Adlan¡¯s tongue licked her sensitive finger. Sierra¡¯s body trembled in surprise due to the slippery sensation. However, even if she wanted to run away, Adlan¡¯s hand firmly pulled her waist, so she couldn¡¯t escape. ¡°Nn¡­ Haaa¡­¡± Sierra unintentionally leaked out a small voice. Adlan slightly smiled as he teased her finger with his tongue. His green eyes were staring at Sierra¡¯s eyes. ¡°Yah¡­ Nn¡­¡± Sierra turned her flushing face away due to the excessive embarrassment. Her finger was lightly nipped, so she heaved a sigh again. With a lewd sound, Adlan¡¯s mouth let go of her finger. ¡°Aah, sorry. My mouth slipped.¡± Adlan licked his lips while sticking out his tongue. Sierra glared at her fianc¨¦ with a bright red face. ¡°W-while it¡¯s still bright like this, this kind of mischief¡­ P-please don¡¯t do it.¡± ¡°Hm? Mischief conduct, this kind of thing?¡± When Adlan put his lips close to Sierra¡¯s lips and whispered, this time, he began to nibble her auricle with his mouth. ¡°Ah, ah, yaah, Sir Adlan, stop, aaaahn!¡± Sierra whose ear was being teased by Adlan, raised her shriek-like voice. ¡°Haa¡­ haa¡­,¡± As her breathing turned rough, Adlan laughed while saying. ¡°Have you relaxed a bit with this?¡± He pulled up his fianc¨¦e¡¯s body as she seemed like she¡¯d just about to collapse right now, and put it on his own lap. As he was doing all that, the eloquent Adlan laughed. ¡°Sir Adlan¡­¡± Adlan then covered Sierra¡¯s lips just when she was about to object. ¡°Nn¡­ Nnnn¡­¡± Sealing my mouth like this is unfair! So Sierra wanted to say, but Adlan wasn¡¯t perturbed the slightest bit despite her trying to hit his muscular chest. He supported the back of Sierra¡¯s head, so that she couldn¡¯t escape, as he devoured her lips greedily. He shoved his tongue into the opening of her lips which were forcefully opened. Sierra whose mouth was being tormented like this then gasped, entrusting her body in Adlan¡¯s embrace. ¡°Ah¡­ Sorry. I went too far. It can¡¯t be helped since Sierra is too cute, though?¡± He rubbed his cheek to the silver-haired head, as he gently caressed her hair. ¡°Hey, Sierra. You were so adorable earlier. Do you know how happy I was? For some reason, I felt like only I was so infatuated with you, while Sierra seemed to be so engrossed with the princess¡­ That¡¯s why, I was so happy.¡± Adlan whispered it to Siera who was in his embrace, using a sickly-sweet voice that was even sweeter than usual. Then, Sierra was surprised. So, Adlan was very delighted with her behavior earlier, that was so unlike her. [So it is just as General Fargus said?] ¡°Does Sierra have anything you want to say to me? Anything you want me to do? If there is any, just tell me about it.¡± ¡°¡­Even if it¡¯s something selfish, would that still be okay?¡± ¡°It¡¯s okay. Since it¡¯s such a good opportunity, would you tell me how you feel, Sierra?¡± Upon being asked, she timidly answered. ¡°Uhm¡­ I, that¡­ I¡¯m envious of the princess.¡± ¡°Of Princess Marietta?¡± ¡°Yes. Me, too¡­ I also want to be fawned on by Sir Adlan, just like the princess.¡± Sierra was envious of the na?ve Marietta who spent her time lovingly with Belvant. As a person of firm character, especially after taking the command so often ever since coming to Oltaire, she thought that she wanted to depend on someone and be spoiled sometimes¡­ And if it was possible, by Adlan, to whom her heart could feel at ease. ¡°Want to be fawned on by me¡­ Whoa¡­ This is bad¡­¡± As he muttered those words while slightly blushing due to his bashfulness, Adlan¡¯s face was even more flushed than Sierra. [What is this Human-Ultimate-Weapon?! She is way too adorable! What should I do, I just want her to be here just like this, I don¡¯t need a wedding anymore, I just want to confine her here, keeping her on my side forever and pamper her. I don¡¯t want to show Sierra¡¯s pampered figure to anyone else, let alone to other men, I want to tie her forever so that she won¡¯t be able to live without me anymore!] Stop it, Adlan, that¡¯s a confinement! ¡°That¡¯s why, I want to Sir Adlan to¡­ tightly hug me or something like that¡­ uhm, is that no good?¡± Sierra was shyly looking up at Adlan, but Adlan seemed like he was about to have a nosebleed already. ¡°It¡¯s totally not not good at all! Look, I will give you lots of hugs! See, look, huggg, huuu¡ª¡± Adlan, you¡¯re way too excited! ¡°S¡­ Sir Adlan¡­¡± Even so, Sierra was happy being hugged by him, so she grabbed Adlan¡¯s shirt and sighed happily, saying, ¡°Teehehe,¡± in satisfaction. [Uwaaaaaaa, so cute! Cute! Cute!] Adlan who was in a fully infatuated mode that couldn¡¯t be stopped by anything, rubbed his cheek to Sierra¡¯s head while sniffing her scent, fondling her hair all the way ¡®til her buttocks, completely turning into a very dangerous person. Sierra being Sierra, after seeing Marietta being pampered every time like this¡ªshe thought that this was something normal, so she absentmindedly rubbed her face against Adlan¡¯s chest, behaving like a spoiled child as she felt so sugary inside. [Ufufu, I¡¯m so happy¡­ Sir Adlan, I love you¡­] [Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute, cute!] ¡°Please excuse¡­ me.¡± The butler of the Carlkus residence entered the room, calling out to Adlan. He, who had always been calm, cool, and collected even while managing the residence, was somewhat faltering, since his master¡¯s current condition was too strange, but well, it couldn¡¯t be helped. ¡°We have finished preparing the room.¡± Adlan breathed in Sierra¡¯s scent with all his might, and finally he raised his head before saying. ¡°¡­Thanks for your hard work, we¡¯ll be going there now. Now, Sierra, shall we go to our room?¡± The servants worked on their tasks quickly in accordance to his orders, so Adlan nodded in satisfaction. Then obviously, he doesn¡¯t feel like being apart from Sierra even in the slightest bit. ¡°Uhm, Sir Adlan, I can walk by myself.¡± ¡°No. I don¡¯t plan on letting you go today, so prepare yourself.¡± Adlan held Sierra up in his arms lightly, saying that with a nice smile. ¡°This is our room. What do you think of it?¡± ¡°Well¡­ what a lovely room it is.¡± Sierra who was being carried in Adlan¡¯s arms was taken into the newly prepared spouse room. Adlan and Sierra¡¯s private rooms were equipped with refined furniture, and their shared bedroom was equipped with a huge canopied bed. Sierra looked at the bed as her face turned red. ¡°Sierra¡¯s clothes are in it.¡± Adlan continued to hold Sierra in his arms as he opened the closet. Inside it, there were the latest dresses and clothes prepared. ¡°What wonderful dresses. Are these mine?¡± ¡°Right. Do you like them? It¡¯s fine for you to live like this from now on.¡± ¡°Oh dear¡­¡± Seeing how there were also cosmetics prepared for her, Sierra sweetly smiled. As expected of Oltaire¡¯s liutenant general who possessed the ability to stand out above the rest as he removed obstacles in order to obtain his objectives. ¡°Thank you very much.¡± ¡°No problem. Also, this is the bathroom.¡± Adlan who was still holding Sierra then smiled as he guided her. ¡°Oh myyyy!¡± Sierra, who entered the bathroom, raised her voice in surprise. A huge bathtub was installed in the spacious bathroom and it was filled with hot water. Red rose petals were floating in it. ¡°It¡¯s a rose bath, isn¡¯t it? What a nice smell¡­ Does it also contain rose oil, I wonder?¡± ¡°Since it seems to be popular among women, I tried to order it.¡± By the way, the floating flower petals were the ones that the maids plucked off from the red roses decorating the entrance hall while boisteriously laughing in a suggestive way, ¡°Ufufu¡±, ¡°Ufufu¡±. ¡°Then, shall we enter the bath?¡± ¡°Yes¡­¡­ Eh?¡± ¡°I will wash your body.¡± ¡°Eh? I apologize, but I can¡¯t let Sir Adlan wash me¡­¡± ¡°There is no need to be so reserved. Look, there are clothes you can change into, so it will be fine. Now, shall we undress?¡± ¡°Wait, please wait, kya!¡± ¡°We will become husband and wife, and I will wash Sierra every day once we are married. Aren¡¯t Belvant and Marietta also like that?¡± ¡°Since the Princess always ended up feeling dizzy when General Fargus entered the bath, they stopped. The General wasn¡¯t good at washing her hair and body, so it ended up taking too much time.¡± [No, that, that¡¯s not it. It¡¯s because they¡¯re doing something else in the bath.] However, Adlan couldn¡¯t voice it out. ¡°I¡¯m good at washing! So, be rest assured. Hey, this is also an important thing to ensure intimacy between husband and wife.¡± ¡°If that¡¯s the case¡­ Then, I will also wash Sir Adlan. It¡¯s okay, I¡¯m also good at washing.¡± The maid, who was so skillful at anything, smiled at Adlan as she was already stripped in her underwears. [Sierra, how cute¡­ I will love you a lot tonight. I will properly eat you up so you won¡¯t be able to escape from me anymore¡­] The switch that should never be turned on in Adlan¡¯s head was already switched on. ¡°Ah¡­ fwah¡­¡± ¡°The bath feels good, doesn¡¯t it?¡± ¡°Yes, Sir Adlan¡­ Nn¡­¡± ¡°How is it? Since you¡¯ve accumulated your fatigue, it might hurt if it is too powerful.¡± ¡°The power is about right, it perfectly feels good¡­ really.¡± Adlan was massaging Sierra¡¯s body as he groped about. Yes, while he was washing Sierra whose skin was obviously blushing red, she was also washing him, as he did a mischievous deed such as teasing the lower half of her body. As they were soaked in the bathtub, Adlan also massaged Sierra¡¯s muscles. ¡°Sir Adlan can do anything, huh? You¡¯re also skilled at massages.¡± Sierra was looking at the big male¡¯s hands that were sliding on top of her own body with a wondrous feeling. She was sitting down in the bathtub as she was embraced from behind. When even her ankles and thighs were combed, her body was shivering as she ended up letting out strange voices. Yes, it was supposed to be a massage, but before one even noticed, the hands¡¯ movement turned dubious for some reason. ¡°If you stroke it like this, your blood circulation will improve and it will be more effective.¡± ¡°I-is that so? Fuu¡­¡± Adlan was looking complacently at Sierra whose breathing gradually turned rougher as he laughed. ¡°Do you feel a bit stiff here, too? It must have given a lot of burden to your shoulders because it¡¯s heavy.¡± ¡®Tayun,¡¯ as her breasts were touched, Sierra involuntarily let out her voice, ¡°Aah¡­¡± With both of his hands, Adlan grabbed Sierra¡¯s plump and white rotundity as he moved his large hands to give them a massage. ¡°How is it? Don¡¯t you feel at ease when I do this?¡± ¡°Y-yes, thank you very much¡­¡± [What should I do? Sir Adlan is only giving me a massage, yet I end up feeling weird, so embarrassing¡­] Because his palms moved a lot, the tips of her breasts were rolled about, and the stimulus ended up causing them to get stiff. ¡°Ah, it¡¯s still stiff over here.¡± As Adlan said that, he pinched Sierra¡¯s stiffening tips, massaging them with his thumb and index finger. ¡°Ah, ah, ah¡­¡± Each time, she felt the sensation as if her lower part was tightening, and Sierra leaked out her voice with her rough breathing. When she looked below, she caught the sight of how the man¡¯s fingers teased her embarrassing part, and she writhed in her bashfulness. [There¡¯s no way I can say that I want him to stop when Sir Adlan is doing this out of his kindness. Aah, but, I can no longer hold my voice back.] With her trembling body, she desperately tried to endure the obscene sensation. When she unconsciously rubbed her knees together, Adlan¡¯s hands left her body. [It¡¯s over¡­] Just as she took a breath in relief, this time, Adlan¡¯s fingertips slipped between her legs! ¡°Hiiuu!¡± Sierra, who ended up letting out a weird voice, turned bright red in her embarrassment. ¡°Aah¡­ you are this wet¡­ did you feel it with the massage?¡± ¡°T-that¡¯s wro¡­¡± Sierra shook her head, but Adlan said with a luster in his eyes. ¡°Today is the day we should just honestly speak out our mind. Sierra, did you feel it that you ended up being this wet?¡± The cool maiden has fallen into the S mister¡¯s trap! ¡°Then, let¡¯s do something naughty this time, so that Sierra will be satisfied.¡± ¡®How could I forget?¡¯ Sierra bitterly regretted. That Adlan¡¯s personality changed when he was in the bed. On the day their bodies were connected for the first time, he continued to embrace her all night long under the pretext of teaching her bedroom matters, until she lost her consciousness, no, even when her consciousness faded away, he still continued to whisper words of love to her with a fierce face, as he continued to shake his hips. ¡°Uaa, Sir Adlaan¡­¡± ¡°Yes, it¡¯s still tight. I¡¯m going to swallow and press hard into Sierra¡¯s pink and tight area, since it¡¯s so cute and lovable.¡± Adlan laughed with his manly seductiveness while he was pressing down on Sierra, slowly and fiercely putting it in and out. The green eyes that were fixed on Sierra glittered as if they were emitting light. ¡°There¡¯s no need to tighten that much, we still have a long time to go. I¡¯m so happy that I¡¯m able to be so affectionate with my adorable Sierra¡­ Right?¡± Adlan penetrated Sierra as he leaned on her who was facing up. Then, he put his hand under her body and lifted her up. ¡°Fuwaaa!¡± Sierra, who was sitting down as she faced Adlan who was sitting cross-legged, raised her voice because of the impact she felt upon Adlan¡¯s stump deeply penetrated her body. ¡°Sir Adlan, so deep, insidee!¡± ¡°Yeah, this feels extremely good, right, Sierra?¡± The muscular lieutenant general lifted up Sierra¡¯s body lightly before dropping her body on top of his stiffly towering stick. Sierra screamed miserably each and every time. Although it was similar to a torture, her body was developed and ravished violently deep inside many times over that it ended up with pleasure building up inside. ¡°I will embrace you very tiiightly.¡± ¡°Aah, aaaah, yaah, noo, stoopp¡­¡± As Adlan firmly embraced Sierra¡¯s body and relentlessly moving it up and down, Sierra raised her cries with tears streaming down her face. ¡°Look, hey, Sierra, you can also hold me tiiightly.¡± ¡°Kyaaa!¡± Adlan put his hands under Sierra¡¯s legs as he lifted her up and went down from the bed. Sierra whose posture became instable then clung to Adlan. Adlan said, ¡°Good girl, hold on tight just like that, okay?¡± as he stood up while shaking Sierra¡¯s body up and down, penetrating her. ¡°Aaah, yaaah!¡± ¡°This is also nice, it feels so good to be clung by Sierra like this¡­¡± ¡°Yaaah, mou, yaaah¡­¡± ¡°Yes, hold on to me tightly. How adorable, Sierra, I love you¡­¡± ¡°Aaaa~~~!¡± Sierra, who was fervently tormented, ended up being very exhausted. ¡°Sierra¡¯s insides are also holding me so tiightly. I like you, I love you. My one and only Sierra¡­¡± As he laid Sierra down on the bed with her fading consciousness, Adlan¡¯s manly face that was brimming with desire fell upon her. ¡°Kyaaaaaa, Sierra! What¡¯s the matter? Sir Adlan, what happened to Sierra?! Sierra, hang in there! Hey, what just happened?!!!¡± ¡°No, that, we did it, but¡­ I might have gone too far¡­¡± ¡°Sierra¡ª!¡± Sierra, who returned on the next day¡¯s night after being embraced by Adlan, was completely exhausted that she couldn¡¯t even open her eyes. ¡°Adlan, did you say that you overdid it?¡± Belvant frowned as he said that. ¡°You¡¯re already at this age, yet you did this kind of a thing to such a young lady¡­¡± ¡°I didn¡¯t want you to tell me that, but I have no words to return¡­¡± Adlan hung his head dejectedly. ¡°Sierra, Sierra!¡± When the anxious Marietta grabbed Sierra¡¯s hand, her consciousness rose to the surface as she opened her frail eyes. ¡°What is it?¡± Since her lips seemed to be moving, Marietta tried to make out her words. ¡°¡­ Sir Adlan¡­ a brute¡­¡± Then, she left to the dreamland. The Fargus couple looked at the innocent-looking brute with a detestable face. ¡°You¡¯re the worst.¡± ¡°You, don¡¯t approach Sierra for a while.¡± Belvant snatched Sierra from Adlan¡¯s arms and carried her to her room. Marietta also accompanied him as she was concerned. ¡°¡­Sierra¡­ I love you¡­ I will reflect¡­¡± The dejected Adlan muttered alone, but his face was so glossy just like that of a wild animal who had eaten his prey. ¡°Sierra, let¡¯s pray to God Madigard! If he doesn¡¯t come to visit on your wedding day to give you blessings, Sierra¡¯s life will be at risk!¡± ¡°Yes, Princess. If I don¡¯t receive God Madigard¡¯s blessing of stamina reinforcement, I will¡­¡± Will be embraced to death. The two of them shuddered. ¡°God Madigard, please listen to our wish!¡± ¡°God Madigard, please, I don¡¯t want to die and leave the Princess¡­¡± [HAHAHAHAHA, the maiden¡¯s prayer, I will grant it!]1 _______________________________________________________________ [Sir Adlan¡­ even if you¡¯re a brute, I still love you.]2 Sierra quietly muttered. Author¡¯s Note: Thank you very much for reading. Extra 5 The Sweetest One is…? Extra Chapter 5 The Sweetest One is¡­? On that day, Belvant, who returned home from his work, noticed that his beloved wife who jumped out while saying, ¡°Welcome home,¡± had a strangely expectant face. ¡°Welcome home, Sir Belvant! Welcome home!¡± Marietta clung to him with her thin arms, her whole body expressing her love just like a faithful dog that wagged its tail. ¡°General Belvant, welcome home! The princess has prepared the tea over there, so please change the place.¡± The one who called out to Belvant who behaved insolently right after returning home was Marietta¡¯s maid, Sierra, who was now called as the Fargus residence¡¯s breakwater.1 In her effort to rescue the precious princess from the route to the bedroom, the cool beauty¡ªwhose lustrous platinum blonde hair arranged up¡ªstopped Belvant from acting rashly with an overwhelming presence. ¡°That¡¯s right! Hey, Sir Belvant, I tried making some sweets for the first time today. Since Sir Belvant must be tired from going to work everyday, I wanted to heal your fatigue.¡± Towards Marietta¡¯s words, Belvant raised his face who looked a little bit regretful. As his fingers caressed the lingering dripping on the swelling bulges he just licked, Belvant stared at Marietta with a thrilled face and said. ¡°Sweets? You could make them? Were you taught about pastry making in Stellaus country¡¯s lady education?¡± ¡°No, it¡¯s my first time making them. I made it while having the cooks in the kitchen teach me. In the novel I read recently, there was a scene where the female protagonist (heroine) made delicious sweets as a gift for a dreamy man. Now, please come over here.¡± ¡°I see, did you make it especially for me? My fatigue is healed just by your feelings alone.¡± ¡°Ufufu, oh my, Sir Belvant!¡± Marietta pulled Belvant¡¯s hand, leading him to the table that was already prepared for them to have some tea. As he took a seat, there was one piece of something that looked like a small cake placed on top of a plate. ¡°I made quite a lot of pastry dough. However, they didn¡¯t turn out so well as I poured them in the mould and baked them¡­ I only succeeded in making just one for Sir Belvant¡¯s portion.¡± It seemed that the adorable Marietta¡¯s pastry making skill was quite catastrophic. ¡°I see. You worked hard in order to make me a pastry even though you¡¯re not used to it, huh? Thank you, Marietta.¡± As Belvant patted her blonde-haired head with his large hand that was used to holding swords, Marietta breathed out in satisfaction. ¡°Well then, shall we have a try?¡± He grabbed the fragrantly baked cake that looked delicious, biting it to try its taste. [Ah, sweet!! How sweet it is, that it irritates my eyes!] Apparently, the cake that had plenty of sugar in it also contained syrup to make it softer. The cooks couldn¡¯t stop Marietta who thought that the sweeter it was, the more fatigue would be healed. However, in front of his wife who stared at him with such a serious expression and with both of her hands clutched as if waiting for him to say how it tasted, Belvant couldn¡¯t bring himself to say that it was a little bit too sweet. ¡°Yes, indeed, it has a taste that can heal my fatigue. I feel more energized now.¡± Marietta¡¯s face shone so brightly upon hearing Belvant¡¯s words as he manly said it while enduring the sweetness. ¡°Is it true? I¡¯m glad.¡± ¡°Yeah. You said that you only succeeded in making this one. Does that mean you don¡¯t have your own portion?¡± ¡°Yes. However, I¡¯ve tasted the failed one, so it¡¯s okay.¡± Let¡¯s not touch on the subject of how it tasted like. Still, dear Marietta, did you not notice how sweet it was when you tasted it? ¡°Marietta, come over here.¡± Still holding the cake with his right hand, Belvant tapped his own lap with his other hand. After tilting her head for a while, Marietta obediently climbed to his lap. ¡°Let¡¯s divide it a bit. It¡¯s only a bit, I¡¯m still going to eat more, okay?¡± ¡°Oh my¡­¡± After Marietta blushed and opened her small mouth, Belvant put a bit of the cake into her mouth. ¡°Oh, how sweet!¡± Her round eyes turned even rounder. Did she finally notice it? ¡°When you¡¯re tired, this amount of sweetness is just perfect.¡± Belvant tossed the rest of the cake into his mouth and ate it. Marietta stared at the gallant figure of Belvant who ate the cake that she made on her own, being entranced by it, ¡®My husband¡¯s figure as he ate the sweets is still so manly and dreamy¡­¡¯ ¡°It¡¯s delicious. However, it¡¯s still not enough¡­ I¡¯ll have your lips to compensate for the insufficient sweetness.¡± ¡°Nnn¡­, n¡ª-¡­¡± Belvant devoured Marietta¡¯s leeps greedily and thoroughly as he carried her sideways on his lap. ¡°Aah, it¡¯s still insufficient with just your lips alone. I¡¯ll have to get more sweetness¡­ from the other places as well¡­¡± ¡°The other places¡­¡± Belvant stood up while still holding Marietta who was looking at him with her melting eyes, as he then gave instructions to the servants. ¡°Bring the meals inside the room.¡± It seemed that he had no plan on leaving the bedroom tonight as well. ¡°Now, I¡¯ll investigate which one is the sweetest part of you.¡± Looking at their state of affairs, Sierra and the other servants present vomitted sugar while thinking inside their hearts, ¡®You¡¯re the one who¡¯s sweet-!¡¯2 Such thing happened every now and then, though. Marietta, who had married the world¡¯s dreamiest man that possessed wonderful muscles on top of being fearlessly handsome, the one who was stronger and manlier than anyone else, the one who knew everything and could be depended upon (though it was only from Marietta¡¯s point of view) and lived her days full of happiness, couldn¡¯t endure waiting so long for her husband¡¯s return every day, because it was obvious that she couldn¡¯t see him during his work. ¡°Yeah, I¡¯m home, Marietta.¡± Even if his chest was tight due to the affection he felt for his wife whose adorableness stood above all¨Cthe wife who loved him unconditionally, Belvant was still the renowned General of the country who had been through countless battlefields. Therefore, he responded while demonstrating an adult¡¯s composure. After showing a smile that was only for his wife, Belvant gently returned his wife¡¯s embrace. The new wife that couldn¡¯t help but love, love her husband so much, gazed at Belvant as her blue eyes were glittering just like limpid water. ¡°Hm? What¡¯s the matter, Marietta? Do you want to kiss as well?¡± When that frightening face¨Cthat was said to be a demon or a beast during his work¨Cshowed a gentle smile, he transformed into a beautiful man who doted on his wife. Belvant didn¡¯t wait for an answer before he proceeded to kiss her. Even when Marietta thought, ¡®That¡¯s not it, but¡­,¡¯ she didn¡¯t want to miss an opportunity to be lovey dovey, so she brazenly accepted his kiss. She then smiled while rubbing her soft cheeks to her beloved husband¡¯s overly sturdy chest. ¡°Ufufu, Sir Belvant, I lo¨Cve you!¡± Marietta, who still hadn¡¯t realized how much danger her statement would cause her, clung her white arms and glued her body to her husband, behaving like a spoiled child. As for Belvant, he wanted to carry her just like this and brought her straight to the bedroom, but he then remembered the words that Sierra habitually said, so he finally gave up the idea. [Please don¡¯t push the Princess too much. It is safer to act under the premise that the secluded princess and the fierce god of Oltaire are fundamentally different living beings.] General Belvant Fargus, who wanted to lead an everlasting and healthy life with his beloved wife, knew that he could avoid the risk of breaking his wife as a consequence of his overwhelming love by following the advice given by Marietta¡¯s faithful maid. ¡°¡­Oh? You somehow smell sweeter than usual today.¡± Belvant noticed that a good smell wafted from within his arms, so he pressed his nose to Marietta¡¯s hair, burying his face on the nape of her neck, taking the opportunity to lick the area behind her ear. ¡°Hyann¡­¡± Having her sensitive place suddenly licked, Marietta blushed as she raised a strange cry. ¡°Yan¡­ Enough, what did you do all of a sudden?¡± ¡°No, since it smelled like a delicious pastry, I thought that you were put under a bad magic and turned into a candy doll, so I just tried to make sure of it.¡± Belvant put on a serious look and said such a thing as if it were true. ¡°Oh my, is that so?¡± Marietta easily believed his words because she had the past experience of being turned into a kitten by magic. ¡°It wasn¡¯t sweet, was it?¡± ¡°¡­I felt like it was a bit sweet. We can¡¯t let the possibility escape, so I¡¯ll try to make sure of it once more.¡± ¡°No way, this scent is differ¡­ aahn!¡± Marietta whose ear was bitten by Belvant ended up involuntarily bending her body backward. ¡°Ahh, you can¡¯t, Sir Belvant, that place is, ahn¡­¡± ¡°This is bad, it¡¯s sweet. If I don¡¯t check throughout your whole body¡­¡± As Belvant said that, this time, he buried his face in the plumply bulging breasts, his tongue creeping on them while saying, ¡°As expected, this place seems sweet, too.¡± This translation is brought to you by Convallaria¡¯s Library.

It¡¯s sugary, so if you¡¯re fine with it, then proceed v (peace sign) _______________________________________________________________ ¡°No way¡­ Sir Belvant won¡¯t be coming home today¡­ you said?¡± The new wife Marietta received a message from the butler when she was drinking tea in her own room. She then pressed her white slender fingers to her bosom, sitting on the chair limply. ¡°It seems that there¡¯s a work that seems to be endless, that even if it¡¯s finished early, he might only be able to return home after this date passes. He said that Madam should rest first, and please have enough sleep.¡± ¡°Could it be an affair¡­ there shouldn¡¯t be¡­ such a thing, right?¡± As she cast her eyes downward, Marietta weakly muttered. ¡°That will never happen even if the heaven and earth were to be overturned!¡± The elderly butler who spontaneously declared that with all his might regretted how he didn¡¯t act like himself and coughed up. His Master is having an affair? The Master who is all over his wife, Princess Marietta, and can¡¯t be apart from her, treating her with every courtesy (physically1), the Master who can¡¯t settle down unless she is within his field of vision¡ªthat kind of Master to be having an affair? The Master whose hand is always caressing Marietta¡¯s body, whose manly seductiveness is all directed to his wife, The Master who is deeply in love with his wife to the extent that the ones who¡¯re looking at him will feel embarrassed¡ªthat kind of Master to be having an affair? The butler wrecked his brain over where the heck the Madam thought of that possibility. ¡°It is a sight to behold, whether that General can bear to be away from Princess even just for one night.¡± Marietta¡¯s faithful maid, Sierra said that as she squinted. ¡°Princess, please be assured that the reality is different from the romance novels. General Belvant can¡¯t be having an affair, just like how a cat can¡¯t give birth to a dog.¡± ¡°¡­Is that so?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right. Rather, please be worried about how the General might make Princess work too unreasonably once he returns home. I would recommend you to take a rest as early as possible tonight in order to preserve your stamina.¡± The Fargus family¡¯s butler concluded that it would be fine to leave it to this maid, so he excused himself from the presence of General Belvant Fargus¡¯ wife. Then, that night. Marietta had a dinner that was somehow tasteless, even when it should have been delicious as usual. Then, after taking a bath and polishing her body up as usual, Marietta went into the bed alone. When she lied down in the center of the spacious bed, she felt that it was somewhat chilly. ¡°My husband is busy with his work, so I have to endure this loneliness. Marietta, you have to behave well as a wife befitting the Oltaire country¡¯s General.¡± She buried herself in the duvet2 that her maid brought her and curled herself up. The fluffy duvet should have been warm, but that was different from the warmth of her husband¡¯s muscles. ¡°I have to endure this, but¡­ Sir Belvant¡­¡± Marietta has always been sleeping while being hugged by Belvant after they got married. Therefore, her eyes became moist as she missed her husband. ¡°Ah, that¡¯s right!¡± Marietta left the bed and opened the closet. She then began to sniff her husband¡¯s clothes from A to Z. Then, she put on his uniform¡¯s coat that she thought was the one with the strongest smell. Belvant¡¯s uniform which was worn on top of her thin nightclothes managed to cover until little Marietta¡¯s thighs. Her fingers also couldn¡¯t surface from the sleeves. After she brought the sleeves near her nose and confirmed that it had her husband¡¯s scent, Marietta dove into the bed just like that. She felt slightly less lonely than before. But, as expected, it was still cold. Marietta who rolled into a small, small ball, spilled just one tear that was accumulated in her eyes, before she began to have a light sleeper¡¯s breathing. ¡°Marietta¡­ are you asleep?¡± Just as one thought, late at night at the same date, Belvant jumped up on his horse as soon as his work was over, returning to the residence where his beloved wife was waiting. As he returned home, he direcly went into the couple¡¯s bedroom where Marietta was sleeping. It was unthinkable for the Princess Marietta to still be awake at such an hour. No, even if she were still awake, he¡¯d gently admonish her, ¡°You should sleep punctually.¡± However, the husband who was still in his newly-wed mood was thinking that he would like to be intimate with her as a husband and wife, even if just a bit, in the unlikely event that she was still awake. And what he saw upon arriving at the shared bed was¡­ ¡°! ¡­W-why, my clothes¡­?¡± Belvant involuntarily tripped over his own leg upon seeing the figure of his wife who was sleeping while wearing his clothes and curling herself up like this. Even when she was asleep, Marietta pressed her nose on the clothes that was brimming with his scent, sniffing it. To Belvant, such a figure was way too adorable. ¡°Uu, fuu, Marietta¡­ you¡­¡± Belvant groaned as he took off everything he was wearing and tossed them around the bed. Then, he slipped next to his wife. It¡¯s a pity to wake up my wife who¡¯s sleeping this soundly. However, I want to stick close to this adorable being no matter what. With that in mind, he embraced Marietta within his bare arms, putting his face close to the small blond head as he sniffed her, rubbing his cheek on her. ¡°Cute¡­ Marietta, how adorable¡­¡± Oltaire¡¯s fierce god ominously continued to mutter. Perhaps due to that stimulus, or perhaps it was the time for her to be in her shallow sleep, Marietta made a voice through her nose, ¡°Nn¡­¡±, as she opened her eyes absentmindedly and got up from the bed. The moonlight dimly illuminated the room. [I wonder if someone¡¯s there¡­] There is no one around the bed. The half-awake Marietta didn¡¯t notice Belvant who was lying down next to her. Marietta yawned before she abruptly fell senseless on the bed, rubbing her face on the chest that was embracing herself, before she then laughed, ¡°Kufun.¡± It¡¯s so warm and smells so nice over here, it feels good. Marietta, who closed her eyes while feeling happy, was pulled into a deep sleep just like that. ¡°Uuu, Marietta, you¡¯re way too cute! No, it¡¯s not good to wake her up, but, aah, I want to embrace you right now! I want to embrace you! Uooooo!¡± Even though Belvant deeply groaned, Marietta was no longer awake. Her nose was rubbing on Belvant¡¯s chest, and she was sleeping while smiling. Before long, Belvant, whose love towards his wife surpassed his lust, gave up and closed his eyes. He fell into a dream while breathing in Marietta¡¯s sweet scent to his chest. ¡°Nnn¡­¡± ¡°Marietta, have you woken up?¡± ¡°Oh my, Sir Belvant! You¡¯ve returned home, I¡¯m so happy¡­¡± Marietta, who opened her eyes and saw the figure of her beloved husband, raised her joyous voice as she clung to Belvant just like that. ¡°Sir Belvant, Sir Belvant, Sir Belvant.¡± ¡°I¡¯ve made you feel lonely, huh?¡± ¡°It was so lonely! I was very lonely, but I endured it.¡± ¡°Yosh, yosh, I have to reward Marietta for being such a good girl, right?¡± Having said that, despite him having his usual scary face, his eyes were glittering with passion. He then attacked his wife while licking his lips. ¡°Sir Belvant, I love you!¡± The attacked wife also couldn¡¯t bear to separate from her beloved husband and continued to cling to him. Belvant¡¯s hand impatiently undressed her, and that ended up crumpling his own uniform which had his scent on it. However¡­ It¡¯s fine as long as the two of them are happy. In the next room, the maid Sierra was preparing a light meal that could be eaten at any time. After she left a mesage to another maid, ¡°Prepare the bath around noon,¡± she hurriedly sent a letter to the Lieutenant General Adlan who was also her fiance, [The General¡¯s ¡®climbing¡¯ activity will be finished past noon. I recommend you to bring any pressing work to the residence. However, that is if you have any courage to call out to the General who is harder to deal with than a lion on heat.] Extra 7 The Dreadful Tea Ceremony Extra Chapter 7 The Dreadful Tea Ceremony Now then, there¡¯s something called as the tea ceremony as one of the social gatherings for Oltaire¡¯s noble ladies. The ladies will be gathering in the residence of an influential noble lady to drink some tea while having some delicious snacks. As they do so, they will also make trifling conversations about the trending fashion or who seems to be in a love relationship with who, or even the truth of some unreasonable rumors, also some conversations related to politics on top of that. In short, they will be chattering enjoyably while exchanging information. Understanding the diagram of power in the high society is important in the noble society. The young wife of Oltaire¡¯s hero¡ªthe fierce god, General Belvant Fargus¡ª, Princess Marietta, who came from Stellaus country for her marriage, was a smart woman who understood her own position even if she was still young in age. Therefore, she actively turned up in such occasions, and everyone fell for her docile personality. Today too, there was such kind of a tea ceremony in the residence of Countess Hyamir. As the wife of General Fargus who was an important person matching a royalty, Marietta cosily sat in the seat of honor, showing her friendly smile, soothing everyone¡¯s heart. ¡°Right, right, this is something that I¡¯ve mentioned some time ago, but¡­¡± Countess Hyamir said with an impish expression. This woman is a very popular madam in Oltaire¡¯s high society. Not only does she have an attractive appearance, she is also a playful and humorous woman. She is a charismatic existence with plenty of subjects to bring up during the tea ceremony. The ladies who regularly attend the tea ceremony that Countess Hyamir hosted are¡­ somehow people who are good at horse riding, and the ones with harmonious marriages.1 She then instructed her servant to bring in a basket. There were several bottles inside the basket. ¡°I¡¯ve obtained the thing that is said to be able to heal a man¡¯s fatigue and can make them full of spirit again!¡± ¡°Oh my, you¡¯ve already got it?¡± ¡°As expected of Mrs. Hyamir!¡± The ladies said words of admiration as they were boisterously laughing. ¡°As a wife, we must always support our husband, after all.¡± ¡°What Mrs. Hyamir has taught me is always very useful, so I always end up feeling impressed by them.¡± Mrs. Hyamir elegantly put the folding fan near her mouth and smiled. ¡°Us women are the ones supporting the Oltaire country, so we have to at least have the spirit to do so. We have to protect the peaceful period that has finally arrived. And for the sake of the children we will give birth and raise in the future, let¡¯s do our best from now on, too!¡± In response to her words, all the women¡ªincluding Marietta¡ªnodded deeply. ¡°Well then, about how to use this¡­¡± After one bottle was delivered to everyone¡¯s hand, all of them listened earnestly to the countess¡¯ explanation. ¡°Welcome home, dear husband-!¡± As soon as the carriage that General Fargus rode in arrived at his home, the young wife who was still as innocent as a young maiden, Marietta jumped out from the entrance door. The woman whose love towards her husband was so tremendous, the woman who was still like a maiden deeply in love even after getting married¡ªshe has been loitering around the entrance hall restlessly even at this hour. Then, there were some servants on alert in front of the door, so that they could quickly open the door so that the madam could jump out from it once the master arrived at the residence. They, too, were worried that their master¡ªwho possessed a face similar to an evil demon and a very bad luck with women despite his personality being not bad at all¡ªwould remain single for his whole lifetime. Therefore, they really loved and cherished the sweet Princess Marietta who arrived from a foreign country to marry their respected master. The maid, Sierra, who followed Marietta all the way from Stellaus in order to serve her, was way too devoted to serve Marietta. And because she was treating Marietta so valuably, recently, she put on more importance to Marietta rather than Belvant as the main focus. However, since it was rather something that Belvant approved of, the other servants weren¡¯t so concerned about it. Well, with that being the case, as his beloved wife vigorously jumped out from the quickly opened door, Belvant¡¯s terrifying face suddenly changed into a masculine and handsome face, as he showed a gentle smile and spread his hands towards Marietta. ¡°Sir Belvant-!¡± Belvant held up his wife¡ªwho jumped at him as usual¡ªin his arms. ¡°I¡¯m home. Marietta, did you pass your time peacefully today, too?¡± ¡°Yes! Today, I was invited to Countess Hyamir¡¯s tea ceremony, and I had a really good time over there.¡± Marietta smiled as she held her posture in a dignified appearance just like a lady who was already settled down. However, since she was now being held up with just one arm of her husband, unfortunately, she only looked like a sweet little girl. Belvant smiled at his wife and kissed her forehead while muttering, ¡°I see. That¡¯s good, then.¡± However, something bothered his mind, ¡®Countess Hyamir, huh? ¡­Hmm?¡¯ ¡°Hey, Sir Belvant.¡± However, as the lovely wife in his arms¡ªthe one who was called as the fairy princess from Stellaus¡ªwrapped her arms around his neck like a spoiled child, that kind of thing was not worth worrying about. As she was giggling, Marietta whispered in her husband¡¯s ear. ¡°You see, I received something good from Countess Hyamir during today¡¯s tea ceremony.¡± ¡°Something good?¡± Marietta nodded at Belvant who asked her again with a smiling face. ¡°What do you think about trying to use it tonight?¡± ¡°Tonight¡­ which means, is it something that should be used at night?¡± The General showed a puzzled expression. ¡°Yes, at night.¡± Marietta whispered as she happily smiled. ¡°It¡¯s something confidential, so right now, it¡¯s a s-e-c-r-e-t!¡± A secret thing that a husband and wife use in the night¡­ As his delusion somehow turned wild, Belvant¡¯s nether region began to squirm. However, he tried to calm himself down by thinking, ¡®No, since it¡¯s something that the pure Marietta prepared, it shouldn¡¯t be something obscene.¡¯ ¡°I see. Then, I¡¯ll be looking forward to that secret.¡± ¡°Yes!¡± After they finished their dinner and bath, when Belvant was relaxing in the bedroom, Marietta¡ªwho was just out of the bath¡ªfinally showed up with her loose hair. ¡°Sir Belvant, sorry to keep you waiting. I know this is so sudden, but please take off your clothes and lie down on the bed.¡± ¡°T-take off my clothes?!¡± Belvant¡¯s manlihood became lively at once. That was way too fast. ¡°Yes.¡± Marietta lightly tied up her hair using the string held in her hand, as she loudly declared, ¡°I¡¯ll be giving you a massage tonight!¡± ¡°Massage¡­ huh?¡± ¡°Yes! I¡¯ll relieve your fatigued muscles!¡± ¡°Muscle¡­ massage¡­ is it?¡± His manlihood lost its previous liveliness immediately. That was way too fast. As he tried to bluff himself on the inside, ¡®Yes, it¡¯s something within my expectations, there¡¯s no need to get so discouraged!¡¯, Belvant became nude and laid down on the bed. ¡°Marietta, is there something else to do¡­¡± ¡°N, no, I¡¯m going to start now.¡± ¡°Marietta, is there something else to do¡­¡± ¡°N, no, I¡¯m going to start now.¡± After rolling up the sleeves of her night clothes, Marietta opened the bottle lid and applied a considerable amount of the liquid inside on Belvant¡¯s body. As soon as the liquid was applied, a soft fruity aroma filled the room. ¡°The aroma is pretty good.¡± ¡°Yes. It seems to be a cosmetic product for massages that can also be ingested. It¡¯s said to be able to improve the blood circulation in one¡¯s body, relieving the fatigue, and make one full of spirit again. Apparently, Countess Hyamir is the one who developed the product.¡± ¡°Is that so¡­?¡± In response to Belvant who nodded, Marietta said, ¡°Then, I will begin,¡± as she began doing the massage. (What a feeling is this?! Such tense muscles! Aah, how dreamy, Sir Belvant¡­) It is a muscle heaven for Marietta. The husband who was looking at the figure of his wife who was entranced as she touched his body, felt unrest somehow. (It¡¯s a massage that¡¯s like being caressed gently, but the blood circulation is certainly improving. My body¡¯s getting warmer, and it feels good. Yes, it feels¡­) ¡°Ah¡­,¡± such voice leaked out from Belvant¡¯s mouth. Marietta didn¡¯t pay any attention to it, as she crawled her hands without reservation to the slippery body, being immersed in the muscle heaven. (What is with this feeling?! T-this is bad, aahh!) ¡°Kuhh!¡± In response to Belvant who ended up leaking another voice and seemed to be moved to tears for some reason, Marietta absentmindedly smiled, sayig, ¡°Dear husband¡­ Does it feel good¡­?¡± and continued her massage. ¡°Ha, uu, it feels¡­ good, or rather¡­¡± ¡°Aah, it seems that your legs¡¯ muscles are tired as well¡­¡± ¡°Ah, o-over there is¡­!¡± Belvant¡¯s weapon was completely ready for war, standing in an extremely atrocious condition. However, the wife dazed in muscles, Marietta didn¡¯t realize it at all, as she touched her husband¡¯s whole body. As a matter of fact, Countess Hyamir¡¯s cosmetics for massage was mixed with a special ingredient that could turn on both the person whose body was smeared with it and the person who smeared it. ¡°Countess Hyamir said that it was okay to lick it¡­¡± ¡°Wha, M-Marietta, aahh!¡± Marietta threw off the nightclothes that only became a nuisance as she straddled Belvant¡¯s body. As she was still massaging the muscular chest, she began to hold the chest¡¯s pointed end in her mouth as she sucked it. (H-h-h-how indecent! Marietta! Aah, not there, Mariettaa!) The figure of Marietta, who was gasping as she laid under the bottom of General Belvant Fargus who was writhing in pleasure, was both adorable and obscene that Belvant tried his best to endure without exploding. ¡°Aah, I have to massage Sir Belvant¡¯s back as well¡­ Lie face-down¡­¡± ¡°T-that¡¯s impossible!!¡± The general, whose center of the body was soaring tall, screamed. Even if he was asked to lie face-down, it was very troublesome with his current condition. ¡°Marietta, lying down is¡­¡± ¡°Well, this is a nuisance¡­¡± ¡°Uwaaaa-!¡± The general who was being grasped with both hands as he muttered, ¡°This,¡± ended up unconsciously raising his voice containing sweetness. ¡°W-wait, calm down, Marieaaaa-!1¡± He writhed in agony as his pointed end was being massaged by his young wife¡¯s slender white finger, with his wife innocently muttering, ¡°Ufufu, it¡¯s fine to lick¡­¡± (W-what an attack! This is bad, very bad!) However, Marietta proceeded with her own pace without noticing her powerless husband¡¯s reaction. Then, she opened her mouth and put her husband¡¯s thing in her mouth. ¡°Aaa-h, Marietta, Marietta, that¡¯s¡­ your tongue-!¡± Marietta was licking the pointed end as she gently rubbed the thick hard thing with her clasped hand. Then, she raised her face, looking at Belvant, smiling as she said, ¡°It¡¯s sweet¡­¡± What, Countess Hyamir went as far as to make it taste so delicious! What a frightening lady model! ¡°No, wait, Mari¡ªaaaaaaa¨C!¡± General Belvant Fargus was at his wits¡¯ end as he writhed before the torture of Marietta, who was licking his soaring thing once again. Before long¡­ ¡°Enough, s-stop, nooooo-!¡± The fierce god of Oltaire, defeated. ¡°Nnnn-¡­¡± ¡°Marietta, spit it out here, come, spit it out!¡± ¡°Nn¡­¡­¡± After she ended up swallowing the sticky liquid that filled her mouth, Marietta muttered, ¡°I drank it,¡± with a blank face. With Countess Hyamir¡¯s liquid, it seemed that her oral cavity tasted sweet. ¡°Y-you drank it, huh?!¡± Then, there was this lewd middle-aged man who was getting excited over it¡­ correction, the fierce god of Oltaire, General Belvant Fargus. ¡°Now, drink this water.¡± He instructed his wife who swallowed his own sticky liquid to drink the water that was at their bedside. ¡°Delicious.¡± In response to his wife who was smiling pleasantly, the lewd middle-aged man who was getting even more excited¡­ he could only be called as a lewd middle-aged man! ¡°Marietta, your massage is the best in the world! Umu, let¡¯s just say that you¡¯re talented!¡± ¡°Really, I¡¯m happy¡­¡± ¡°Then, I have to reward you for that!¡± As she was made lying face-down by Belvant, the aforementioned dangerous cosmetics was spilled onto Marietta¡¯s back as she sweely screamed, ¡°Kyaa!¡± ¡°Aahn¡­¡± He crawled his palm which was used to holding swords to obscenely massage his wife¡¯s amorous body as she raised her voice in response to the stimulus. ¡°How is it?¡± ¡°Aahn¡­¡± ¡°What about here?¡± ¡°Iyaahn¡­¡± ¡°How about if I do it like this?¡± ¡°Afuuhn¡­¡± Marietta was gasping with her bright red face. And from within her legs, honey was already spilling over. Belvant saw that and suddenly raised her waist, pushing his own hot rod over there. ¡°I¡¯m putting it in!¡± ¡°Fuaaaaaaahn!¡± Marietta who was being pierced in one go from behind, ended up coming from that one blow, strongly tightening up against Belvant¡¯s towering thing. ¡°Kuuuuu, so tight! However, I can still do more!¡± As his face distorted in pleasure, he held his wife¡¯s waist as he drilled himself there many times over. The sound of flesh hitting flesh and the immodest coquettish voice, ¡°Aah, how deep, Sir Belvaant, aah, spare mee, i-it feels good¡­,¡± resounded within the shared bedroom, and that continued until it was very late at night. Then, the next morning. The ladies who attended Countess Hyamir¡¯s tea ceremony¡ªevery single one of them was unable to get up from the bed. On the contrary, their respective husband performed very well at their own work, each with glossy face.
