Epilogue 2.

Alexion had been emotionally detached by nature since birth. To the extent that he had never lost his composure even once on battlefields drenched in fresh bl＊＊d.

But Alexion’s face as he paced in front of the delivery room was full of anxiety. His attire, which was always neat to the point of being fastidious, was disheveled messily, and his silver-gray eyes enduring the indefinite time of suffering were streaked with bloodshot veins. The words of his subjects telling him not to worry didn’t reach his ears at all.

“Why, why is it taking so long! If something happens to the empress……”

Alexion swallowed the ominous words and clenched his fists tightly. It might seem heartless, but Alexion’s mind was filled more with worry about Erna than about the children in her womb. He was already anxious, and the fact that they were twins added to his worry. He even felt resentful toward the children in her womb who were tormenting her.

The source of anxiety lay elsewhere too.

What if the child to be born was afflicted with the same terrible curse as himself?

Of course, he knew it was not a curse but Vanessa’s vile scheme, but that didn’t make his anxiety subside. So from the moment Alexion learned of Erna’s pregnancy, he had been pathologically vigilant of his surroundings. He thoroughly checked everything she wore and ate without exception and never left her side for a moment.

As soon as the tightly closed delivery room door opened, Alexion rushed inside.

“Erna!”

Alexion, who had run to the bedside, grasped Erna’s limp hand and caressed her pale cheek wet with sweat.

“Erna.”

Erna lifted her eyelids with difficulty and looked at Alexion, who was desperately clinging to her hand like a lifeline. His voice calling her name repeatedly trembled pitifully. She could feel a subtle tremor even in the hand stroking her cheek.

“Your Majesty.”

“You must have been very scared.”

At his self-reproaching question, Erna quietly shook her head.

“Not at all.”

It was sincere. Even in the pain that felt like her bones would be crushed, even in the agony that felt like her body would split in half, she was strangely not scared at all. Erna pulled her lips into a broad smile.

“I wasn’t scared. Because I knew you were by my side.”

“It’s all okay now. It will be okay.”

When Erna gestured with her eyes, the midwife showed the twins wrapped in cloth to Alexion. His appearance holding the twins in his arms with the midwife’s help was somewhat awkward. It seemed like this fragile life form would break if he applied even a little force.

“……”

The moment he felt the faint warmth of the life forms in his arms, his chest swelled with emotion, making his resentful feelings from outside the delivery room seem meaningless. Fortunately, there were no traces of the curse he had worried about so much, but now it didn’t matter at all. He was just endlessly, endlessly overwhelmed.

His and Erna’s children.

Only this clear fact dominated his mind.

“You should call their names, Your Majesty.”

At Erna’s words, Alexion looked down at the twins in his arms with reddened eyes.

“……Klania, Rosiellen.”

The sound that barely escaped his lips was small enough that only Erna could hear it, but the twins seemed to recognize their father’s call as they wiggled their tiny hands and feet. At that moment, hot tears streaked long across his cheek.

Other precious beings had appeared in his world where only Erna had been unique. This must be happiness that couldn’t be exchanged for anything else in this world. Vowing to protect them with his entire life, Alexion embraced the twins closer.

The twins grew rapidly day by day.

“Crown Prince, did you finish all your homework? And Princess, didn’t this mother tell you repeatedly? Don’t run through the corridors with a wooden sword because it’s dangerous.”

Avoiding Erna who was scolding them with a stern voice, the twins ran to their father’s arms who would take their side. At the sight of the troublemakers whining like injured puppies while nestled in Alexion’s reliable embrace, Erna shook her head from side to side.

The twins followed Alexion very well. Even much more than their mother who had given birth to them painfully. That was because Alexion knew well how to handle the twins.

“If you promise to do your homework and stop dangerous pranks, I’ll tell you an interesting story.”

“Wow, a story about Mother?”

“Yes.”

“I promise! I’ll do my homework and won’t cause trouble!”

After gently stroking the twins’ heads and seating them on the sofa, Alexion raised the corner of his mouth with a meaningful expression.

“What story should I tell you? One day, your mother came to the palace and suddenly confessed. She said she had been in love with His Highness the Crown Prince for a long time.”

The twins swung their legs hanging from the sofa back and forth and sparkled their eyes, curious about the next part of the story.

“So? What happened next, Father?”

“Your Majesty—!”

Alexion’s eyes curved as he looked at Erna who was fuming with her hands on her hips. He leisurely soothed the twins who were pestering him from the side and whispered.

“The next story is for later. Homework first.”

Erna glared at Alexion. She hoped the twins wouldn’t inherit even a bit of their father’s sly disposition. She had been sighing deeply over her growing worries but ended up bursting into laughter at the twins clinging to her skirt, acting cute and playful.

Erna realized.

If these children grew up to be the spitting image of Alexion, she would have no way to handle them.

***

About a month before Alexion’s birthday.

“How about presenting him with a famous sword?”

“I recommend a dish that Your Majesty the Empress makes personally rather than that. His Majesty would surely love it too.”

At the maids’ competing recommendations, Erna thought for a moment and then shook her head.

“Of course His Majesty would like them, but both are things I’ve already given him on his past birthdays. This time I want to give him something a bit special. Even when I ask if there’s something he wants, he just says it’s not necessary……”

Even after putting their heads together with the maids, only obvious gifts came to mind. Erna, who had been pondering while holding her forehead, suddenly made an “ah” sound.

“I thought of it. A gift that His Majesty would be pleased with.”

To the maids who were curious about what it was, Erna only smiled faintly instead of answering.

Now that the gift was decided, Erna, who had entered full-scale birthday preparations, diligently finished her external schedule and then went on a vacation to the southern villa with Klania, Rosiellen, and Alexion.

“Look here, Rosiellen! Can you climb up this high like me?”

“Me too! I want to climb the tree too!”

True to their age of running around and playing, Klania and Rosiellen ran around everywhere in the vast greenhouse, and the attendants were busy chasing after them, sweating profusely in case the princess and crown prince got hurt.

The children, who had been looking at flowers and trees they’d never seen before with curious eyes and crouching on the floor playing with dirt, later rubbed their sleepy eyes and whined.

“Mmng, I’m sleepy……”

“Me too. Can’t we go to sleep now?”

After sending the nanny to put the children to bed first, Erna dismissed all the guards and attendants outside the greenhouse.

Alexion, who had been watching this with puzzlement, turned his gaze to Erna’s fingers that were fidgeting while holding her skirt hem. It was a kind of habit she showed whenever she had some scheme.

“It’s Your Majesty’s birthday soon. So I prepared a somewhat special gift.”

“A gift?”

“Yes.”

Erna, who nodded with a tense face, seated Alexion on the picnic mat spread on the soft grass and then gently pushed his shoulders back. Alexion, who had been wondering what she was trying to do and had obediently gone along, froze like a statue at her next words.

“You said before. That you wanted to do it out…… outside……”

Erna, who had whispered quietly as if someone might hear even in this space where only the two of them existed, slowly climbed onto Alexion’s thighs.

Actually, there was another reason why she had come all the way to the distant southern villa for vacation. It was because the entire huge dome-shaped greenhouse here was made of reflective glass that allowed a clear view outside from the inside, but conversely, the inside couldn’t be seen at all from outside.

“Strictly speaking, this isn’t completely outside either, but still……”

Erna, who had mumbled and trailed off in embarrassment, reached out and began unbuttoning Alexion’s shirt one by one. She had run countless simulations in her head wanting to show a bold appearance, but reality wasn’t as easy as imagination.

“So this is what you were planning.”

Alexion muttered while looking at Erna who had climbed on top of him. Though he was someone who rarely got surprised, his face showed considerable bewilderment at Erna’s completely unexpected impulsive action. But that was brief, and soon a mischievous smile appeared on Alexion’s lips.

“I’m moved that you remembered words I said jokingly long ago, Empress. I didn’t know you had such a bold side. But……”

Alexion narrowed his eyes as he looked at Erna’s fingertips that had turned red.

“At this rate, will you be able to even undress me by today?”

Erna, who had gotten fired up at his teasing provocation, gripped his clothes tightly.

“I can do it, you know?”

Why did her hands keep slipping when it was just unbuttoning? Erna bit her lips tightly. After finally unbuttoning everything and opening his clothes, his firm chest and well-built delicate muscles were revealed. When she traced them with her hands and then lightly kissed on top, Alexion flinched.

Encouraged by Alexion’s reaction, Erna lowered her gaze further down. The front of his pants was bulging as if it would burst at any moment. Erna unbuckled his pants with trembling hands.

The huge p*nis that sprang out was difficult to get used to no matter how many times she saw it. At the miraculous size of the c*ck, saliva automatically went down her throat. Just imagining putting that big thing inside her made her lower abdomen tingle and restless.

What should she do next? After hesitating briefly, Erna carefully wrapped Alexion’s c*ck with both hands and stroked it up and down. She circled the wide gl*ns with her thumb, and with her other hand continuously stroked the warm shaft. prec*m leaking from the urethral opening wet her palm, making squelching friction sounds.

Suddenly curious about Alexion’s expression, Erna slightly raised her head. His neat eyebrows were completely distorted, and his breathing had also become roughly disheveled.

“Erna.”

A suppressed moan escaped through Alexion’s teeth. His silver-gray eyes burned like white flames engulfed in passion. At his reaction that clearly showed he desired her, Erna felt a strange satisfaction.

Erna, who had raised her knees, lifted her voluminous skirt and then grabbed Alexion’s thing and rubbed it between the split of her p*ssy. Every time the blunt cockhead rubbed against the entrance, the excited hole twitched.

Erna took a deep breath and then grabbed the middle of the c*ck shaft and slowly lowered her hips. She hadn’t loosened the hole separately, but when she had been touching Alexion’s thing, she was already soaked below, so this should be enough.

“Ngh……”

Perhaps because it was her first time putting it in herself, it was too much. When she had barely swallowed up to the gl*ns, Erna lost her balance and swayed, causing the c*ck to slip out of the hole. The rigidly er*ect c*ck painfully poked her perineum.

“Hng!”

Kuh, Alexion gripped the ground and held his breath. The c*ck that had been stimulated to the fullest by the continuous friction swelled its size and throbbed threateningly as if it would pierce through her p*ssy.

When Erna was about to sit up again with her trembling thighs, Alexion gripped her slender waist and growled fiercely.

“I can’t wait any longer.”

Erna’s body, lifted high into the air, plummeted vertically with tremendous grip strength. Pook, her head jerked back toward the ceiling as she was pierced by the c*ck standing straight like a spear. The sky beyond the huge glass dome filled her widened vision completely.

“Ahng!”

Before the convulsions of her inner walls that had been penetrated in an instant could even subside, Alexion put strength into his grip holding Erna’s waist and pounded her down onto his c*ck with thuds.

Alexion followed Erna’s face melting in pleasure with persistent eyes. Her snow-white skin contrasting with the swaying red skirt was particularly sensual. As if her cries were bird chirping, Alexion listened intently and quickened the speed of thrusting his hips upward.

The fresh grass scent inside the greenhouse mixed with Erna’s sweet body odor stimulated his senses. Perhaps it was because they were alone in this forest-like, vast space, he felt like a mere beast, driven purely by raw, unrestrained desire.

“Ah, ngh, Alexion, hng, ahng!”

The heavy c*ck mercilessly pounding inside roughly struck her cervix. To endure the pleasure pouring down continuously, Erna wrapped her arms around Alexion’s neck tightly.

Erna’s insides, reaching climax, pressed against Alexion’s c*ck. Soon, his warm s*men filled her inside, overflowing.

“Did you…… like my gift?”

“Very much.”

Alexion chuckled low at Erna’s direct question.

Even after marriage, Erna had been embarrassed every time they mixed bodies. He had never thought that such a woman would take the initiative to seduce him. Though it was clumsy, it was all the more lovely because of that.

How did she manage to surprise him like this every time?

Come to think of it, it seemed to have been that way from the beginning. Erna’s existence had always made buds sprout in his world that had been only gray, and created lush greenery.

The world being dyed with her colors was completely different from before. It was all brilliance that began from her, and happiness that continued from her.

So he couldn’t help but love her.

Kissing Erna’s wet eyelids, Alexion whispered tenderly.

“I love you, Erna.”

—The End—
