With the renewed vigorous thrusting, she urgently bit her lip. Mmph, mmph, mmph. Muffled moans leaked through her tightly closed lips.

“Was it definitely him? He came this way?”

“I confirmed his face, so I’m certain.”

“Really? Hmm……”

Voices from the shadows flickering beyond the curtain were faintly audible.

The sensation of fluids dripping from their squelching point of connection was vivid. Her reason, which she had barely managed to hold onto, kept scattering under the heavy pleasure pounding her body. Though her anxious gaze followed the shadows, she couldn’t stop her hips from instinctively moving.

Knock knock.

Though the rule was that no one would approach a balcony with closed curtains, the shadow outside boldly knocked on the window. The light tapping on the glass made Olivia shudder.

“No, no, haah, wait, Alois……”

Her words didn’t continue any further. Either Alois hadn’t heard the knock, or he simply didn’t care about it, as he pressed Olivia’s pelvis down deeper, driving his gl*ns into her deepest parts. The blunt tip of his c*ck, forcibly wedging into the narrow passage that wouldn’t open, lewdly rubbed against the sensitive inner parts that had been hiding.

“Haaah! Ah!”

When she finally couldn’t hold back a cry of pleasure that burst out like fireworks, Alois met her eyes with a satisfied smile. He intently followed her gaze, which was hazy with heightened arousal.

“To think you still have, the capacity, huff, to pay attention elsewhere, it hurts my pride.”

A chill ran from her toes at the low voice whispering in her ear with a crooked smile. Like a beast impaled on bars, her eyes half-rolled back and her body trembled involuntarily. Before the tremors of the brief org*sm that enveloped her could fully fade, the movements stirring her insides began again.

Knock knock.

The clear knocking sound gradually became distant as pleasure overwhelmed her.

“I know it’s rude, but I’m sorry. Is Olivia there by any chance?”

Hearing Olivia’s name clearly, Alois let out a hollow laugh and turned around. Deliberately bringing her body closer to the door, he spoke in a somewhat sulky voice.

“Olivia, someone’s looking for you. Shouldn’t you answer?”

“Th-then, this first, haah.”

Even as he urged her to quickly answer the uninvited guest, his merciless movements stirring her insides didn’t subside. Olivia, who had opened her mouth to drive away the unknown shadow as quickly as possible, couldn’t utter a single proper word and only let out moans of pleasure, following his lead.

“Ah! Haah, yes! I’m, hah, right, right now, mmph, a bit difficult, mmph, ahhh!”

At the unintelligible sounds that were no different from cries of pleasure, the intruder who had been knocking on the window stopped. Olivia’s inner walls clenched more tightly around his c*ck, fearful that their lewd act might have been completely exposed to this unknown person. The desire to escape reality transformed her fear into an even deeper s*xual pleasure. Alois’s c*ck was deeply embedded in the innermost part of her twitching walls, where it couldn’t go any deeper.

“Haah! Ah! Ahhh! Ah, ugh, haah.”

“Huu, mmph, ha, krgh.”

For a moment, her vision flashed white. Her legs wrapped around his waist stiffened, and her toes curled involuntarily. Through her uncontrollably parted lips, broken moans of climax overflowed. Hot s*men shot against her inner walls and flowed down. She could feel the milky viscous liquid flowing down slowly as clearly as if she could see it.

“Mmph, hm, haaah……”

Alois tightly embraced Olivia’s body, which was convulsing like a small dying animal. As her tensed body relaxed languidly and began to slide down, he leaned her against the window.

Bang. The window shook with a fairly loud sound. Behind Olivia, who was shaking her head slightly, still immersed in the afterglow of her climax, the flickering shadow gradually moved away. Olivia’s chest rose and fell dramatically. Alois, who never left her alone for a moment, gently shook his c*ck, which hadn’t finished ej*culating, inside her while playfully nipping at her rising and falling chest.

“Ah, inside, is so full, mmph, too……”

Olivia mumbled as if talking to herself. As the prolonged ej*culation finally ended, Alois leaned her back against the railing with a somewhat calmer expression. Mumbling incoherently to herself, Olivia touched her belly with a dazed expression. It was an instinctive movement, done without awareness of what she was doing. As he partially withdrew his c*ck, fluids mixed with s*men trickled out between her hole that had been stretched to its limit.

“Your hole still seems hungry, hmm?”

“Mmph, no, nooo.”

Olivia shook her head at Alois’s words, who kept gently tempting her even as he slowly withdrew his c*ck. When the c*ck that had been fiercely ravaging her body finally left her hole, a sense of emptiness came over her. Her inner walls, which hadn’t yet fully closed, wriggled, ruminating on the sensation of emptiness.

“……What a waste.”

Alois scooped up the fluid gradually overflowing from her hole with his finger. He thrust his finger into the twitching entrance and stirred inside, coating his fingertip with the sticky fluid. Surely, milky liquid must be pooled in the deeper parts where his fingers couldn’t reach.

“How was it, did you like it?”

Alois asked Olivia again, who had earlier insisted they shouldn’t do this. Unlike his voice tinged with laughter, she nodded obediently, still somewhat dazed.

“Mmph. Good, hm, mmph……”

Her meticulously styled hair was now a mess—wet with sweat, disheveled, and her cheeks flushed with excitement. These were unmistakable traces of their wild lovemaking, but to Alois, it was the most endearing sight in the world.

Brief kisses landed on her face and lips in succession. Holding Olivia, who was blinking her eyes slowly as if tired, tightly in his arms, Alois muttered a confession she would never know.

“This insatiable greed never seems to disappear. If anyone should be reflecting, it should be me……”

Despite having declared Olivia as his lover to everyone, his heart had turned ferocious just because someone else had called her name. Every day, there was a fierce battle between his desire to let everyone know she loved him and the dark urge to lock her away so no one else could take interest in her.

Despite personally feeling how extraordinary Olivia’s love was, his desire to be constantly reassured and acknowledged never disappeared. He even had the fundamental question of whether he was born to crave love for his entire life. Even though he already understood perfectly well that she wouldn’t leave him, still…

Looking at the s*men flowing down between her thighs, Alois clenched his teeth calmly.

Seeing how he wanted to bind her more tightly to his side by any petty means necessary.

Today, as well, he quietly steadied his breath to keep his self-acknowledged dirty desires from surfacing. If Olivia desired a noble and beautiful love, he had resolved long ago to stay by her side in that form.

* * *

Her memory of how the party ended was hazy. She was certain that she had stayed until the end, but in truth, Olivia had been half-asleep the entire time after their intense lovemaking on the balcony. Only by noon the next day did Olivia finally fully regain her senses, and she fainted at the thought of her shameful behavior, but Alois reassured her that there was no problem.

Having been tense about possible negative rumors about Alois, she was finally able to feel relieved when the atmosphere remained calm even after the party ended. Instead, as the two had planned, only positive rumors spread that Alois was no longer a violently rampaging monster, and somehow the ball ended successfully.

The journey back from the exhibition was again a series of tedious carriage and train rides. But Olivia, who had been tense for days, couldn’t overcome her fatigue and slept throughout the journey. Occasionally when she woke up startled by the changed surroundings, Alois would pat her back to sleep as if he had been waiting for her to wake.

“Finally, we’re back home!”

As the carriage arrived in front of the mansion, Olivia jumped out and stretched her arms toward the sky in joy.

“Now that we’re back, I need to visit the clinic and get busy again.”

“You must be tired, so don’t overdo it and take breaks. Since you’ve made your debut at the party, you might have annoying matters to deal with even outside the clinic.”

This was an issue she hadn’t considered, and Olivia, who had been stretching with relief, froze with her eyes wide open.

‘R-really?’

Wondering if she would now have to frequently attend parties like other noble ladies and engage in headache-inducing social activities, her expression automatically became serious. Alois found her worried look cute and deliberately didn’t correct her misplaced concern, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

“Duke!”

Instead, the person who dispelled her unnecessary worries had a familiar and welcome face.

“Seron? When did you return?”

The person who ran out from the mansion to greet the two warmly was Seron, Alois’s longtime subordinate.

He had finally returned to the duchy after enthusiastically traveling across the continent in search of a way to break the curse.
