CHAPTER 6 – Time of Atonement (Part 6)

This Cedric was not the man she knew. Gone was the innocent man who’d freaked out as if the heavens had opened at the mere mention of ‘intimacy’.

Trying not to provoke Cedric as much as possible, Lillian quickly spat out the truth.

“We’re just friends. I only found out here that Turin’s Lord is Felix’s relative. I never called him, yet he came all the way here and put me in this awkward situation…”

“You’re not going to be swayed by Lord Edelgard’s arrival, are you?”

The voice from outside made Lillian bite her lip in despair.

“You’ve already given up. He knows nothing about your feelings. Long-time unrequited love is just an obsession.”

Lillian vigorously nodded her head.

‘See that! Long-time unrequited love! It was me who loved you alone for so long, enough for Felix to acknowledge it!’

“There’s no way Lord Edelgard will marry you, and you’re the one who’s going to get hurt.”

His words were harsh but undeniably realistic. The words that Lillian hadn’t been able to get out of her mouth spilled out of Felix’s mouth.

“Forgive me for saying this, but you need to understand your place. If you were good at socializing, the government might even hire you, but you’re… from a commoner background…”

The brutal but all-too-real story poured out between them.

“If you have any conscience, as a commoner who doesn’t even know who your parents are, you shouldn’t even dream of being associated with the Edelgard family.”

Under the merciless barrage of harsh truths, Lillian felt as if she were standing in a downpour, utterly miserable. Felix kindly explained the truth that she couldn’t bring herself to speak aloud.

Despite having engraved the truth of her love for Cedric thousands, no, tens of thousands of times in her heart, Lillian felt ashamed and pained as if she were being stoned in front of everyone.

This was their reality, her completely n*ked, Cedric still dressed as if he were going to leave after they’d finished f*cking.

Her strength gradually faded from the hand clutching his neck.

“You’re just a toy to him, something he’ll use a few times and then throw away.”

“Hmph.”

In the intense heat, Lillian’s upper body fell backward in an instant. Cedric’s lips crashed over hers like a tidal wave.

It was only a few steps to the door, and without parting their lips, Cedric set her down on an ornamental side table.

“A woman who doesn’t get married ends up being a mistress! Lillian, you know better than to put yourself in that ridiculous position.”

Felix’s quiet voice continued incessantly.

“I will announce our engagement at breakfast tomorrow, so you should go along with it.”

As if to prevent her from hearing anything else, Cedric took possession of her, gently but firmly, his tongue mixing with hers, sucking on her lips, and simultaneously beginning to remove his perfectly dressed clothing.

Now completely n*ked, Cedric’s deeply penetrated into her mouth with his tongue. It was a passionate kiss that seemed to deny the truth and comfort her.

Lillian threw her arms around his neck and wrapped her legs around his waist. But then her lower body was pulled down and his hands gripped her legs.

“Are you listening to me? You’re not sleeping, right? There was definitely a loud noise earlier….”

Her knees were folded up to her chest, her body folded in half, perfectly exposing their junction.

Without detaching their lips, Cedric forcefully struck her waist from top to bottom. His hard p*nis slammed into her, hitting a place deep inside her that had never been touched before.

“Ack!”

Though she managed to stifle her moans due to her lips being sealed, she couldn’t stop the sounds. Thud, thud! The lascivious sounds of their thrusting echoed loudly in the bedroom.

The side table creaked uneasily.

“What’s that sound…? Lillian?”

At the sound of Felix’s voice, Lillian instinctively tightened her grip on Cedric.

“Mmm, yes, ahhhh!”

As if punishing her while suppressing her reaction as she would respond to another man, Cedric forcefully thrust his body against hers.

Sweat dripped from his forehead and the nape of his neck.

Click, click.

The sound of the doorknob turning sent the two of them into a frenzy like a detonator. Lillian knew they shouldn’t be doing this, that they would be caught, but she couldn’t help it.

The intense stimulation beneath her, the heat in her belly, shattered her thoughts.

Knock, knock, knock. 

As if sensing something, Felix urgently knocked on the door.

“Lillian, are you in there?”

At the sound of the knock, Lillian twisted her waist. The signals from her body were unusual. It was a sign of cl*max.

Misunderstanding the situation, Cedric released her lips and slid one hand between her tightly pressed legs. He quickly began rolling his fingers over the swollen flesh.

“Hmph…….”

Lillian struggled against the impatient gestures as if they were trying to trap her in eternal pl*asure.

At this rate… they’re going to get caught.

“No, no, no, no……!”

Although she pushed him away with her hands, she tightly clamped her legs around his waist. While desperately hoping for him to stop, a part of her wanted to showcase this entangled scene to the entire world like an exhibition.

She doesn’t mind being taken to the Holy Court for being a prodigal woman who sold her soul to the devil if caught in this heated moment……!

“Ahh…! Ah!”

A tingling sensation struck her brain, and lights flashed before her eyes. Lillian’s toes curled. At the same time, the w*t sounds of their union resonated loudly from their point of connection.

“Ugh, Lillian…!”

It was at that moment, when they were completely absorbed and oblivious.

“Lord Felix, you’re here. The Countess is looking for you right now.”

“At this hour?”

“Yes, it’s related to the Duke’s visit. She’s concerned that the hospitality has been too casual for a guest of Turin, albeit a gracious one. Perhaps breakfast tomorrow…….”

“Ah, I see.”

Felix, annoyed, cut off the conversation as if it were troublesome.

“He’s already acting like this even before the succession ceremony.”

The sound of Felix and the servant’s footsteps moving away could be heard.

Before Lillian could fully relax, her body suddenly jolted.

“Ugh!”

Because Cedric abruptly withdrew his body without caution, Lillian shivered. The sensation of the pillar slipping out as if drawing a sword from its sheath was enough to send shivers down her spine.

Before she could gather her wits, Cedric, who had turned her roughly, pushed her against the door. It was a reflexive moment when she instinctively grabbed the door handle under the hand pressing down on her back.

“Ah!”

Lillian moaned as a huge c*ck penetrated her from behind in one swift motion.

“Too, too deep, too… Ah!”

The slightly curved tip hit her c*rvix. Her legs shook from the incomparably strong stimulation.

Cedric, firmly holding her pelvis, resumed the thrusting motion forcefully. . His thrusts, deep and shallow, became increasingly vigorous. With each motion, he pulled out until the gl*ns barely emerged and then forcefully pushed back in until his p*bic bone met her pelvis.

“Hmph…….”
