Chapter 6 – The Way to Prevent Divorce

The Grand Madam and Rachel finished their luxurious meal.  

“Hmm. It was a rare chance to eat properly after so long, and she missed it again. That woman is truly unfortunate.”

“Rachel. Lily isn’t unlucky, she’s just weak.”  

The Grand Madam replied in a refined voice. It had only been a day since Raven returned. The Grand Madam and Rachel confirmed Liliana was still in the palm of their hands.  

“Still, the previous ones died quickly. This one just won’t die.”  

After the last two Duchesses committed s*icide, it was Rachel and the Grand Madam who branded them as immoral women. It wasn’t hard. They handed a large sum of money to a servant and made them confess falsely, claiming to have had improper relations with the Duchess.  

In exchange for enough money to live on for life, the servant took the risk and left far away. A perfect crime.  

And if it was immoral, then yes, she had committed an immoral act. Hadn’t she accepted something other than Raven’s manhood between her legs?

Who would believe such a woman to be a virtuous Duchess? The Grand Madam smiled with a sharp edge.

The reason they didn’t let the servants violate the Duchess was their pride as nobles. How dare they. Even if they wanted to disgrace the Duchess and drive her out, would they let those of low status defile her body?

How merciful and beautiful a decision that was!

All the women who couldn’t bear even the time the servants violated them with their eyes ended up dying. But Liliana survived like a weed.  

“Tsk. I’ve prepared thin needles. She needs to taste real pain to learn to fear her in-laws. Ah, did you clear out the stable?”  

“Yes, Mother.”  

Rachel smiled sweetly.  

“Good, well done. Hm… the weather’s nice. Tomorrow, suggest to Liliana that she go horseback riding.”  

The Grand Madam knew what the servants did to Liliana in the stable. Surrounded by beasts with bloodshot eyes, trembling in fear… She wanted to revive that terror!  

“Sir Cherville must have prepared the medicine, right?”  

“Yes, Mother.”  

“Take it to Liliana yourself.”  

“I will. Very kindly.”  

Rachel answered in a sing-song voice.

***

Raven gazed down at Liliana, sleeping with a baby-like face. As he rose, the blanket that had flowed over his bronze-like body slid to the floor.  

Raven stepped off the bed, his upper body fully exposed. Liliana might be sleeping peacefully, but Raven was not. In truth, Raven hadn’t come home expecting such a chaste night life.  

He kept replaying that lacking wedding night over and over!

***

The wedding had been rushed because of Raven’s schedule. Liliana might have felt disappointed, but it was a necessary decision. Who knew what tricks Everset might pull? It was best to do it quickly, and Raven had to depart for war.

The King insisted that war could not be waged without Raven.  

‘This will be the last time.’  

‘What do you mean?’  

‘I mean, this will be my last expedition!’  

‘What… Are you saying you’ll abandon our kingdom??’  

‘If you keep sending me away like this, I just might consider it.’  

Because Raven coldly drew the line with the King, he was able to secure three years of time. After that, he would hardly ever have to go out to the battlefield again. Now, even the local skirmishes were dying down, and it was safe to say that a large-scale war was almost impossible.  

The foolish land-grabbing was coming to an end. Among them, the Rohainne Kingdom, led by Kreuten, had acquired a considerable territory.  

Now, Raven could finally lay down his sword and settle inside.  

After the three-year hiatus, the King promised to appoint Raven as a military training instructor. But only if he wrapped up the last war well in the two years following his marriage.  

Because of this, there was no time to properly explain things to Liliana before the wedding. He had no choice but to ask his mother to explain the situation for him.  

So he could only ask her to wait for two years.  

“…Lily.”  

Raven called Liliana’s name, his voice soaked in burning desire. The bride, prepared for her wedding night, had skin that glowed like pearls. Raven grazed Liliana’s collarbone.  

“R-Raven…”  

Liliana called his name in a trembling voice. Just that alone made Raven’s body, trapped in his pants, swell with pride. His thick tip moved, searching for the cave to enter.  

“Yes, keep calling my name.”  

Raven tilted his head.  

He kissed Liliana’s small lips. Warm breaths escaped between Liliana’s parted lips, tense with anticipation. Perhaps the maids had fed Liliana lemon-like fruit, for a fresh scent lingered in her breath. Raven parted Liliana’s lips and slipped in his thick tongue.  

Liliana was small, and Raven was large. Holding a woman barely half his size, Raven moved his tongue. He found Liliana’s hidden tongue and drew it out, sucking it gently while holding her chin.  

Expecting a sweet burst, Raven held Liliana’s back tightly as she tried to escape, drawing her in more fiercely. She tasted sweeter than he imagined. Raven watched with pleasure as tears welled up in Liliana’s eyes.  

Her pale blue eyes, veiled by a transparent film, were more beautiful than expected. Raven’s hand wandered down Liliana’s body, lifting her skirt. With his fingertips, he pressed the center of Liliana’s crossed legs.  

“Haa…”  

Liliana moaned between her lips as Raven gently grabbed her hair.  

Liliana looked up at Raven, who was above her, blinking. She had never experienced such a beastly kiss before. With all her nerves focused on the slow touch between her thighs as Raven pulled down her l*ngerie, she couldn’t concentrate on the kiss.  

“W-what are you doing?”  

Raven let out a sharp laugh.  

People had pointed fingers at Liliana, saying she seduced men with her sensual body, but she was a virtuous bride who didn’t even know how to spread her legs lewdly. Raven slid his strong hand between Liliana’s legs.  

“Spread your legs, Lily.”  

“B-but…”  

Raven brushed Liliana’s trembling lips with a kiss. Hesitating, Liliana parted her legs slightly. Raven spread them more, settling between her thighs. Then, Raven gently explored Liliana’s still-tight entrance with his fingers and touched her sensitive bud.  

He slowly rubbed it with his finger.  

“Ah! Wait! Raven!”  

Liliana grabbed Raven’s arm with a startled face.  

“It’s alright, Lily. Everyone does this.”  

Raven murmured between his teeth, circling her sensitive spot. Liliana’s white cheeks flushed, and she panted, moaning through her lips. She tried to close her legs, eyes wide, but couldn’t push away Raven, who was wedged between them.  

“Ah! Ah!”  

Raven buried his face in her collarbone, licking and nibbling. He ran his tongue along Liliana’s slender neck.  

“Haa… R-Raven…”  

Liliana trembled, repeatedly calling Raven’s name. She didn’t know how much this aroused his desire to possess her. He wanted to suck every part of this woman. Wet sounds began to echo below. Liliana responded obediently.  

Raven teased Liliana’s ear with his tongue. The heat and moisture made her shudder, but Raven ignored it, sucking her ear at will. The flesh in his mouth seemed to stimulate not only his l*st but also his hunger.  

“Haa, ah!”  

Just as Raven intended, Liliana reached a brief climax. Raven soothed the limp Liliana with kisses, then crawled down.  

Liliana saw the skirt embracing Raven swell enormously.

‘What is he trying to do?’  

Liliana thought vaguely. And in the next moment, something cold and soft touched her heated lower body. Liliana’s pupils widened. Feeling Raven sucking below, Liliana opened her mouth and moaned. Her eyes, veiled by a transparent film, reflected nothing.  

Liliana pressed her hand to the bulge in her dress. The sensation of being licked up and down between her legs made her body twitch.  

“Ah, s-stop!”  

Raven pressed down on Liliana’s thighs, continuing his actions. As if he would drink every drop she produced, he persisted. This time, Liliana reached a longer climax. When Raven confirmed the gush of liquid, he withdrew from under her dress.  

Raven hurriedly pulled down Liliana’s dress.  

There was no time. He had to leave at dawn. Burying his face in her exposed white skin, Raven inhaled her scent deeply. Tearing off her dress, Raven bit her br*ast.  

“Haa!”  

Liliana awkwardly embraced Raven’s head.  

Raven caressed Liliana’s skin with rough hands. Raising his head from Liliana’s embrace, he quickly threw off his clothes and settled between her legs again. Raven lined up his swollen, prominent member at Liliana’s entrance and pushed in.  

“Ah! It hurts!”  

“It’ll be alright.”  

Raven, his speech shortened by passion, gritted his teeth and murmured. In moments like this, it was better to enter quickly than slowly. Grabbing Liliana’s hips, Raven slid his member inside.  

Fortunately, her wet cave welcomed him. Her tightness gripped Raven’s member, just as he had persistently teased her earlier.  

“Ah…”  

Raven grabbed Liliana’s br*asts and sucked until they made slurping sounds. Her red n*pples stood out even in the dark, trembling. Raven tormented her chest until her writhing subsided, then asked in a cracked voice,  

“Are you alright now?”  

Liliana shook her head quickly, but Raven didn’t believe her. He grinned fiercely and started moving his hips. The force of his thrusts made wet sounds, and Liliana writhed. Raven poured out his desire as he held Liliana, who cried tears.  

Her shaking white chest and the red n*pples at the end. Her lips, parted and endlessly moaning, stimulated his vision. The night was too short. Raven swallowed curses, planting his seed deep in her womb.  

“Haa…”  

Raven realized he would never forget this night.
