CH 17

‘Damn it!’

Semen flowed out when he pulled out his dick. Her vagina was teased for a long time and it turned into a strange red color. 

As he looked at Celia’s lewd entrance, where his semen was spilled, a violent desire rose even higher.

‘No. I did that yesterday…. I am not a beast.’

Leonis looked at Celia’s naked body with burning eyes. Her body was covered in the hickeys that he left behind. The sight of her was lustful and lovely in his eyes. Then Leonis sighed deeply. 

Given the state of his curse, it appears that he didn’t have to see Celia for at least a few days, but…

‘I’m greedy.’

Even at the very end, Celia didn’t say she was in pain. It was clear that Celia’s body had some kind of power, as her recovery over several weeks had improved in just five days. 

So wouldn’t it be fine to hug her again tonight? Even in the morning, Leonis’ shallow conscience was advising him not to do so, but his greed swelled.

‘No. It’s not going to happen.’

Leonis shook his head but he couldn’t take his eyes off Celia.

“Hmm….”

Leonis pretended to sleep quickly as a long sigh escaped Celia’s mouth. His penis had been pulled out, but he was still hugging her and lying next to her, so all he needed to do was close his eyes.

Celia, who was in his arms, seemed to take a glance around while breathing quietly.

“Ha….”

At the sound of a thin resounding breath, Leonis tried not to swallow too much saliva. Even her breathing felt lovely, and he was embarrassed by it.

‘….What are you doing?’

Even though he loosely hugged her, Celia was still in his arms. He felt Celia changed her posture so Leonis struggled to think of something else.

Celia’s body was lightly touching his waist, which had already been stained with blood.

‘Hm?’

He couldn’t see it with his eyes closed but Celia was fiddling with his chest. Leonis’ face flushed at her touch.

‘Wait a minute…’

It was more stimulating than yesterday, aside from being ticklish. Then, he remembered the pleasure of hugging Celia. 

Leonis struggled to catch his breath as a hand caressed his shoulders and stroked his chest all the way down to his waist. Celia’s hand didn’t stop even though she must have seen his excitement.

‘What…. are you looking at?’

Perhaps she was staring at it while he was asleep. Leonis’ felt ashamed, yet his dick was standing up stiffer, contrary to his feelings. 

Leonis hesitated to open his eyes as her gaze was blatantly felt. He seemed to recognize the expression she was wearing, but seeing it in person was a different matter.

‘You must be looking at me with your eyes sparkling and full of curiosity.’

If it was Celia, it didn’t matter if she played with it as much as she wanted to. His body belonged to her now.

He felt her soft hand drifting down to his thighs, inching closer to his desire.

Her fingertips…. Leonis was on the verge of ejaculating when she carefully touched it.

‘Uh…’

What he imagined was different from reality. As Celia gripped his penis to measure its size, his entire body seemed to be suffocating in lustful heat. 

‘I can’t… No, I have to be patient!’

It was impossible to spend such a day and night, and to having sex with Celia again. Celia, on the other hand, was fiddling with its firmness.

“Ce…. lia.”

A low growling voice called out her name. Celia, who had been fiddling with Leonis’ penis, was surprised and looked at Leonis.

His dark red eyes were burning with lust. Celia released the dick she had been holding on until then, but it was already too late. Leonis’ patience was about to come to an end.

“Kiss only, I will only kiss you….”

Leonis whispered and laid Celia back on the bed. The bright sunlight had already entered the room, but Celia was unable to leave Leonis’ arms.

✦ ✦ ✦

Leonis was persistent. He told Celia that he would only kiss her in the bedroom but he masturbated by rubbing his penis against Celia’s body, and then followed her into the bathroom.

‘It’s a good excuse.’

“Are you going to show this body to the maids?”

He whispered and offered to help Celia bathe like he did to her on the first night. After looking in the mirror, Celia decided she didn’t want to show it to the maids. She then gave Leonis permission to bathe her.

She was so tired and couldn’t even walk.

‘It’s good not to get sick!’

It was Celia’s first experience with her body. It was too much to hold for more than a day, even though Leonis tried to be as caring and considerate as he could. 

Leonis was aware of this as well, but he did not attack Celia again after touching her. She came three times with Leonis’ subtle and obscene touch. 

Celia took a deep breath, thinking Leonis’ eyes were like a beast. Whether it was a lie to say he would serve Celia, Leonis washed her body with a meticulous touch.

I had received intense caresses the night before, but it felt strange to have him wash my entire body again. It wouldn’t have been unfamiliar because Leonis didn’t only touch, but bit and sucked as well.

“Celia, are you tired?”

Leonis asked, his gaze falling on her, who was half asleep in his arms. Celia nodded, half awake.

Leonis smiled and walked out of the bathroom, wrapping a soft towel around Celia’s body. It was also his responsibility to dress Celia and place her on the long sofa in the dressing room.

‘It would be better to take a day off today, so would she prefer to wear comfortable clothes?’

Leonis felt awkward while he was choosing from various underwear and petticoats for Celia to wear. He knew he was married, but now, he also felt that he truly has a woman of his own. The awareness that he became someone’s.

While Celia seemed to have fallen asleep, he gently supported her body and pulled her underwear up.

Leonis’ frail conscience was pierced as he gazed at the sleeping Celia, even though the place was not conducive to sleep.

Even though they fell asleep together in the middle of the night, he made her fall asleep like she was fainting. 

“I’m sorry, Celia…. I’ll do whatever you want….”

Leonis knew that Celia, who had already fallen asleep, wouldn’t hear what he had to say but he had no choice but to say that.

Leonis held Celia, who was sleeping in his arms, and opened the door between them. It was the door that connected the Duchess’s room and the Duke’s room.

He laid Celia on his bed and pulled the string. He ordered the servant to clean up the Duchess’s room and bring soup so that Celia could eat as soon as she woke up.

Then, he returned to the bed.

His heart swelled up as he looked at Celia’s beautiful sleeping face. Leonis sighed deeply and climbed onto the bed.

When he held her in his arms and went to sleep, it felt like he had conquered the whole world.

✦ ✦ ✦

In the room, Emperor Orkan of the Empire stood anxiously. On the day of the wedding, something unexpected happened, and he discovered that the wedding had ended in a mess.

However, Leonis took the priest and went to subjugate the demons; Now, the Emperor knew Leonis had arrived safely at the Duke’s residence.

‘I hope you’re doing well.’

Leonis Cardian needed to have a baby as soon as possible. Otherwise, this anxiety won’t ever go away.

If he could put pressure on him to make a lot of children, he would have done so. 

‘I can’t lock him up in a tower, give him medicine, and force him to give birth to a child.’

He couldn’t send him far away either. He didn’t have any children yet, so what if he got killed for going outside too soon! Now that he was the eldest in the imperial family, the curse would return to Orkan without a hitch.

He was obsessed with blood and killing people…. I don’t want to live like that lunatic. He was the one who gave the orders to kill and torture the offenders, but madness was a different matter.

‘Montague’s daughter is doing well, right?’

Phil, the second prince, was aware of Celia’s suicide attempt, but the news did not reach the Emperor because he blocked the information.

It was an information that did not need to be disclosed to the Emperor who was sensitive to the issue of the heir of the Duke of Cardian. So the Emperor, just like the other nobles, only knew Celia had fainted at the wedding.

‘After all, you should have gone and put the pressure on yourself!’

It was Phil, the second prince, who was present as the Emperor’s representative. He decided to attend because he has a relationship with the Montague family, and he played a major role in making this marriage happen.

The first prince, Michael, and the third prince, Noel, also wanted to attend, but they were only able to send a gift due to the imperial family’s dignity. 

Everyone knows the three princes weren’t particularly close to Duke Cardian, but it would be a farce if the three of them paid a visit to congratulate them on their marriage.

‘Oh, my God. That’s right!’

Orkan suddenly remembered Marquis Montague. He was well aware that Marquis Montague despises Duke Cardian, but the two are now in-laws. Moreover, Leonis now married the daughter of Marquis Montague and became his son-in-law.

It would be difficult to put pressure on Leonis, the Duke of Cardian, but if he was putting pressure on his daughter through Marquis Montague, it would be easier.

‘However, the question is whether or not this Montague will listen to me. He might show other plans behind the scenes if he just keeps his head down…’

So he thought he should call Celia to the capital. If Marquis Montague was present and insisted on Celia having children as soon as possible, and if I make the Marquis say that…. The work was going to be easy.

Orkan pondered on what pretext to call Celia. 

A good idea didn’t come easily, so he enlisted the help of his servants, as he always does.

The servants came up with a plausible plan before the Emperor became enraged. The plan was to invite the Duchess to a large banquet hosted by the Imperial Family.

The Emperor was irritated as Leonis would probably refuse, but his face brightened when he heard the servant’s words.
