Chapter 6.2

Heizen unfastened his pants and revealed his hardened member. Without any further f*replay, he pressed into her, who was still tense and unprepared.  

“Ah!”  

Rizle let out a cry of pain, her eyes welling with tears. Heizen grabbed her waist and forced himself inside. He didn’t give her any time to adjust. Pulling out, he thrust back in all at once.  

Rizle trembled, struggling to catch her breath. He had never acted so violently before. A chill ran down her spine. Yet, strangely, the man who was acting so harshly looked as though he might burst into tears at any moment. It was an odd sight.  

“Can you feel it? How your body fits me perfectly, as if it’s meant to hold me.”  

Heizen spoke as he continued to move. After days of being together, her body had completely adapted to him. This realization filled him with both satisfaction and anger.  

“Without even realizing it, you’ve become mine. Do you think you can take this and give it to another man now?”  

How could she even think of leaving when her body had become so clearly his?  

“Was today’s outing not enjoyable for you?”  

If so, she could have said so. If there were any complaints, he would have fixed them. She hadn’t said a single word.  

They had shared a passionate kiss in the carriage. He had whispered in her ear that he wanted to hold her until she fainted the moment they returned, and she had blushed in embarrassment. When he asked if she was having fun, she had said yes. Was all of that a lie?  

Had he misread all her actions? Heizen felt confused. Was she so desperate to deceive him because she hated him that much? The thought made him anxious.  

“Ah, so you wanted me to take you in the carriage? Is that why you’re leaving out of disappointment? If that’s the case, I’ll make sure you’re satisfied now.”  

Heizen quickened his pace. The sound of their bodies colliding echoed loudly.  

“Wait, slow down, please!”  

Rizle gasped for air. The relentless movements made her head spin. When she begged him to slow down, he seemed to speed up even more. Each thrust was so forceful it felt as though it pierced through her.  

“No, stop, please!”  

“Stop? You’re clinging to me, tightening around me as if you don’t want me to leave. Let me give you more.”  

Despite her fear of being overwhelmed, Rizle found herself feeling pleasure. She trembled, wrapping her arms around him.  

“Do you like it that much? You’re holding me so tightly, as if you want to keep me inside forever.”  

“Aah, no…!”  

Heizen knew she was close but didn’t stop. He continued moving, making her cling to him even more.  

Rizle trembled, trying to wiggle away from him. Noticing her attempt, Heizen flipped her over. The movement caused her inner walls to scrape against him, triggering another light climax.  

“So, you were upset because we didn’t do this outside? You should have said so. I would’ve made you feel good as much as you wanted.”  

Heizen grabbed her waist and thrust into her from behind.  

Rizle wanted to argue against his accusations, but she couldn’t. His powerful thrusts shook not only her body but also her mind, leaving her unable to think of a response.  

Her body, overwhelmed with sensation, could do nothing but focus on the pleasure.  

“How does it feel? Shall I keep going?”  

“Yes, yes… I like it!”  

“At this rate, your body will melt. Are you okay with that?”  

“It’s hot… so hot…”  

Rizle, her eyes completely unfocused, repeated his words in a daze. Gasping for air, she collapsed onto the bed. Heizen leaned over her, biting her shoulder and leaving marks. He pinned her down, thrusting deeply.  

“You’re leaking so much, it makes me happy.”  

Rizle, unable to move, struggled to breathe under his weight.  

“Rizle, I’m the one who took you. I’ll never give you back.”  

Heizen’s possessiveness was evident as he bit her shoulder. Rizle winced in pain. He continued biting her body, leaving marks everywhere.  

“Why did you try to leave me?”  

The man’s voice was sorrowful. He held her down and moved with force, yet his voice lacked any strength.  

“You said you wouldn’t leave, that you wouldn’t go. Were you just waiting for a chance to run away?”  

Was that why she had said those things? He had thought she was starting to like him, even just a little.  

Heizen muttered, unable to escape his shock. Hours ago, his eyes had been filled with love and tenderness. Now, they burned with betrayal.  

“Remember this, Rizle. A crow never gives away what it brings to its nest. You will never escape me.”  

Heizen gritted his teeth and moved faster. If she truly intended to leave, he would break her now. He would make it so she could only live within his embrace.  

With a distorted expression of excitement, Heizen thrust deeply. Feeling the surge inside her, Rizle trembled. He held her from behind, his body going limp.  

“I’ve never hated you as much as I do today.”  

Heizen, catching his breath, spoke softly. Rizle, who had barely begun to calm down, felt tears well up in her eyes. She hadn’t left because she wanted to.  

Negotiations with the Empire were King Loen’s responsibility.  

That’s what Heizen had said. But Rizle couldn’t just nod and let it go.  

The previous war with the Empire had claimed countless lives. Her family had been spared by sheer luck.  

But what if war broke out again? What if the Emperor, leading a larger army, attacked this time?  

This time, everyone could die—or at least someone. And what about Heizen? Would the Emperor spare him after being insulted by him?  

Rizle was terrified of what might happen to the man she loved.  

She hadn’t left because she wanted to. Ever since overhearing the conversation, she hadn’t felt at ease for even a moment.  

The kinder Heizen was to her, the more vividly the image of him dying brutally in war haunted her. Rizle couldn’t stop the horrifying thoughts.  

She hadn’t made her decision lightly. It had torn her apart, but she had resolved to leave if it meant saving him.  

“I just wanted to protect you.”

Rizle protested in a small voice. Heizen withdrew himself from her body and turned her shoulders to face him.  

“I love you…”  

The blue eyes that looked like they were about to cry spilled tears the moment they met hers. She had only wanted to protect him in the best way she could. But when the man who had been so gentle suddenly turned violent, the sorrow overwhelmed her, and she couldn’t stop crying.  

Heizen, who had lost his reason and acted so aggressively, stared blankly at Rizle. As his head cooled, his rationality slowly returned. Rizle, crying bitterly. Her torn dress and underwear. Only then did he realize what he had done.  

Heizen licked her face, drinking her tears. He held her tightly and exhaled deeply. His chest throbbed painfully.  

“If you love me, you can’t leave like this.”  

“Then what should I do? Just stand by and watch you die?”  

“I’ll meet King Loen—or rather, Duke Digory, who’s said to be in the royal capital, and the Emperor’s niece, the Princess. Once they see me, they’ll realize just how unsuitable I am as a husband.”  

Rizle cried even harder at his words, unsure if he was joking or serious.  

“Then what does that make me, who wanted to marry you?”  

“For that, I’m sorry.”  

“‘Sorry’ doesn’t cut it! You awful man! If I’d known you were like this, I wouldn’t have fallen for you!”  

Rizle pounded her fists against Heizen’s back as he held her tightly.  

Heizen quietly endured her blows. Even though she was angry, hearing her say she liked him made him feel oddly happy. He buried his nose in her neck, inhaling her scent. The mixture of her natural fragrance and sweat felt like a reward.  

“Get away from me!”  

Rizle shouted, pushing his head away. But Heizen held her even tighter and kissed her neck repeatedly.  

“If you love me, please say so. Swear to never leave me, no matter what, and stay in my arms.”  

Rizle stopped hitting him. She covered her face with her hands, breathing heavily.  

“Rizle.”  

“Hic… sniff…”  

“If I have you, I don’t mind dying.”  

“Well, I mind!”  

Still covering her eyes, Rizle yelled. Heizen gently removed her hands, revealing her red, tear-streaked eyes and nose. Feeling sorry, he kissed her nose.  

Rizle scoffed and turned her head away. How could he act so gentle now after being so rough earlier? Completely sulking, she tightly shut her eyes to avoid looking at him.  

“Don’t think you can get away with this. My body hurts so much because of your recklessness.”  

“Should I kiss it better?”  

Rizle’s eyes flew open in shock. Taking her reaction as a yes, Heizen began moving downward. Rizle struggled, shouting for him to stop.  

“Don’t touch me! I’m angry! If you touch me, I’ll never forgive you!”  

Rizle warned him with a firm tone.
