“Is anyone out there!”
Crown Prince Hiss was still rolling on the floor clutching his groin. Since he couldn’t move well because of his injured leg, Erica saw her chance and tried to open the door. Just then, someone opened the door and entered.
The Crown Prince shouted toward the man.
“Catch that woman! Make her kneel before me! I’ll make her pay for daring to hit me!”
The man had a large build with dense muscles and wore an expensive suit. Looking like he had just come out for a stroll, he approached Crown Prince Hiss.
“…How exactly do you plan to make her pay?”
The Crown Prince spoke maliciously.
“Strip her clothes! After I’ve had a taste, all the knights will…”
But the Crown Prince couldn’t finish his sentence. The man’s large hand struck the Prince’s cheek. With a loud smack that sounded like hitting a sandbag, the Crown Prince fell unconscious. The man dusted off his hands as though he had touched something filthy.
“Trash…”
“…Lord Kai.”
Erica couldn’t bring herself to look up. There was only one reason he had come all the way to enemy territory. Duke Felix looked at Erica, gritting his teeth.
“I should never have given you that certificate…”
“I’m sorry.”
Though he was angry, he extended his hand to her.
“Let’s go.”
“Yes!”
Erica fell into Duke Felix’s arms. He had come to rescue her. That alone made her feel incredibly secure. And though they had been apart only briefly, she had missed him terribly. On their way out, she noticed all ten knights lying on the ground.
“You didn’t k*ll them, did you?”
“I didn’t k*ll them. I just cut their ankle ligaments… They won’t be able to chase us.”
“Ah…”
As they rode a horse together, Duke Felix rested his chin on Erica’s head in front of him.
“Please stop making me worry. Please…”
“…I’m sorry.”
She had no words, even if she had ten mouths. Duke Felix stroked Erica’s flat stomach with his hand.
“We should make a child soon. Then you won’t have these unnecessary thoughts.”
“…Didn’t you say before that you preferred having just the two of us?”
“I don’t know. I also want to see a daughter who looks like you…”
“Then shall we not leave the bed until I’m pregnant?”
It was just a casual remark, but Duke Felix seized upon it.
“Shall we?”
“Hehe.”
Erica laughed. Duke Felix paused for a moment and kissed Erica’s lips. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Duke Felix’s embrace was cozy. His scent gave her unparalleled comfort.
Duke Felix adored Erica. But she was stubborn, which sometimes made her difficult for him to handle. Erica’s skin was so delicate that it bruised from the slightest touch.
According to Count Mills, they had even brought in a personal physician because Erica was so physically weak. So he couldn’t even imagine yelling at her.
But he couldn’t help getting angry when she insisted on participating in training despite having a fever over 38 degrees. Erica squirmed in Duke Felix’s arms.
“I can run more! Please? Hmm?”
Though Erica tried to act cute, Duke Felix remained firm.
“Training is forbidden until your cold gets better.”
“But other soldiers train even when they have colds! I don’t want to be the only one missing training for something like this!”
“…Didn’t the soldiers tell you that you can run better after recovering your strength?”
Erica was stubborn but surprisingly simple-minded.
“Really?”
“Yes. Training while sick is pointless.”
“…”
Finally, Erica quieted down. Duke Felix thought he should double the training for soldiers who were sick. They must have been boasting in front of Erica about training despite being ill, instead of quietly doing their training.
When she was young, Erica said she would take up a whip for even the smallest mistakes made by maids. However, at Duke Felix’s mansion, Erica was the most generous mistress. She was so generous that he worried whether she could properly fulfill her role as the lady of the house.
But she simply dismissed maids who forgot their place, without even punishing them. Once dismissed, a maid could never set foot in the mansion again. So they were careful on their own.
Meanwhile, Erica was generous to others but strict with herself. This was evident in how she tried to keep up with training regimens designed for people with different physical capabilities.
Duke Felix laid Erica on the bed and kissed her forehead. The physician worried about catching her cold, but he had never caught a cold in his life.
“Mmm. Water… I want to drink…”
Erica looked at Duke Felix and spoke softly. Duke Felix took a mouthful of water and captured Erica’s lips. He watched her gulp down the water as he kissed her several times.
“Mmm. Lord Kai…”
“Ha, Erica…”
His pants button felt ready to burst. Though he thought he shouldn’t satisfy his desires with a sick patient, Erica’s hand wandered over his pants.
“Stop, Erica.”
“…Hold me.”
“Haah…”
Erica’s hand slipped inside his pants and rubbed his manhood. He couldn’t hold back anymore. Duke Felix laid Erica down and removed her pants and underwear simultaneously. He caressed her thighs, which were hotter than usual, and looked down at her.
After seducing him, Erica had fallen asleep from the medicine.
“Ha…”
It was absurd, but he wasn’t one to back down. There was no one else to relieve his burning desire. By now, his manhood could only stand for Erica. He removed the sleeping Erica’s top, kneaded her br*asts, and bit her n*pples.
“Erica, wake up…”
But the medicine must have been strong, because Erica didn’t wake up. A blue vein briefly appeared on his forehead. When he gently bit her n*pple again with his teeth, Erica flinched.
“Uh.”
But she fell back asleep. Seeing this, Duke Felix’s hand slid downward and disappeared into Erica’s womanhood. The sound of his fingers moving in and out sounded lewd. He whispered in Erica’s ear.
“If you don’t wake up now, I’ll do as I please.”
“Mmm…”
Duke Felix completely undressed. Then he grabbed Erica’s knees and spread them wide. Her red womanhood, already sufficiently loosened, was tempting him. He rubbed his manhood at her entrance and entered her body, which was hotter than usual.
“Ugh.”
He felt like he could release immediately upon entering. He didn’t understand why he never tired of her, even though he embraced her every day.
As he moved slowly, Erica’s br*asts were compressed. Her body was warm and soft, embracing him. He unhurriedly licked Erica’s lips, neck, and br*asts.
Erica not only had delicate skin but also fell ill frequently. Perhaps that’s why she was so fixated on becoming a full-fledged knight. And judging by how she couldn’t cut people with a sword, she seemed quite fearful.
At one point, rumors circulated that Erica had deliberately used the apprentice knight position as a means to approach him, but from what he could see, Erica genuinely wanted to become a full-fledged knight.
One day he asked Erica.
[Why did you want to become a knight?]
Perhaps he had asked too late. But she answered seriously.
[Because I don’t want to die.]
[…Who would k*ll the Duchess Felix? Not while I’m here.]
[But we don’t know what might happen later.]
Erica always seemed to be running from something. Despite having him, one of the strongest men, as her husband, she didn’t want to rely on him. Her unauthorized participation in the war was proof of that.
She was truly a difficult woman.
But what could he do? She was the woman he fell for at first sight.
“Just stay by my side, Erica.”
Then I’ll let you do whatever you want.
Duke Felix began thrusting roughly into Erica. The sound of their pelvic bones colliding echoed loudly.
“Huh, ah…!”
Erica moaned faintly, seemingly waking from sleep. Duke Felix embraced her tightly enough to crush her body and kissed her. Erica closed her eyes and savored his tongue. Like his possessive eyes, his tongue captured hers and wouldn’t let go.
“Erica, are you awake?”
“Uh…!”
His tip scraped against her inner walls as it went deep inside. With such a large foreign object filling her, she couldn’t sleep.
Sometimes all of this was overwhelming. Both his body and his heart.
Part of her wanted to run away from him and his attempts to bind her. But she would be in trouble without him. His embrace had become too familiar.
Duke Felix’s hand rubbed Erica’s sensitive bud. As he probed her insides with his manhood while rubbing her bud, her inner walls tightly squeezed him. Duke Felix groaned deeply.
“Ugh…!”
“Mmm, faster…”
Erica’s eyes became slightly unfocused. Seeing this, Duke Felix explored her more roughly. With wet sounds, their pelvic bones collided firmly. Erica quickly wrapped her legs around Duke Felix’s back.
“More, huh, deeper…! Mmm!”
“Erica…!”
In that moment, Erica’s toes curled inward, and his thr*sts became more powerful. Duke Felix released with Erica’s *rgasm.
“Ugh…!”
When he continued thrusting a few more times after his release, Erica’s already limp legs trembled.
“Huh… Stop. Too sensitive, hah…”
“I’m going to do more. More…”
Though she needed to sleep for morning training, it seemed she would oversleep again tomorrow. She was a bit annoyed, but there was nothing she could do. Erica wrapped her arms around his neck.
It was permission to do as he pleased. Seeing this, Duke Felix kissed Erica’s lips. With their lips pressed together, his hardened member deeply penetrated her again.
“Hmph…!”
Receiving his overflowing love, Erica thought.
It seemed she would never be able to tell him about her prophetic dream. Whether he believed her or not, she wanted to keep it hidden. That she had loved him from the moment they first met.

Ugh, what a terrible male lead! Actually, none of the men were any good in this story. The FL just let them harass her and the ML even r*ped the FL! And she still ended up loving him? She said he was the only one who took her seriously for wanting to be a knight but he told her to s*ck his d*ck before he’d consider it! The s*x was terrible too, no consideration for her. I kept hoping it would improve somehow but it was a crap story from beginning to end. The translation was well done though.
