A small kingdom somewhere on the continent.
No matter which party you attended, the topic of conversation was the same. The scandal between the war hero and the cherry-colored lady. How could he announce their marriage before even speaking to her once?
With this, one more excellent groom candidate had disappeared from an already small pool. The sighs of ladies who had been coveting the returned hero deepened.
Amid the murmuring, one of the young ladies sipping tea suddenly spoke up.
“But who is Cherry Vallinoa?”
However, no one could give a proper answer. She was truly someone no one had heard of in high society.
As the silence continued, the pink-haired young lady in front tilted her head and replied.
“I’ve heard of the Vallinoa family, but I don’t really know about their daughter.”
“Ah, I’ve met her exactly once. We had our debutante together, and she was a bright lady with a good personality. But I haven’t seen her since then either. I heard the family is extremely protective of her.”
Lemoti, the green-eyed lady sitting right next to her, clapped her hands like she’d remembered who it was. Once someone who knew even a little about the lady named Cherry appeared, questions poured toward the green-eyed lady.
“Do you know how the two of them met?”
“When they were young, the Count Vallinoa’s family helped the hero’s family. They say they already promised marriage back then.”
“Oh my. So they’ve known each other for a long time? How romantic.”
At the sparkling reactions, Lemoti shrugged her shoulders. In truth, she’d researched this beforehand to attract the other ladies’ attention, but none of the gathered ladies noticed that fact.
Everyone envied the hidden lady, Cherry Vallinoa. But the kingdom’s scandals weren’t limited to just one.
Count Ludwig, the most beautiful man in the kingdom, had declared he would never marry.
And he’d added that he wouldn’t meet with women anymore either.
At first, no one believed it, but since the Raymond family had even announced they had an heir, many women ultimately shed tears.
Not only the sudden declaration of staying unmarried, but announcing he’d chosen an heir too.
Because of that news, countless rumors sprang up like bamboo shoots after rain—that Ludwig was now sick of women, or that he had a hidden lover. But like always, only those involved knew the truth.
The young lady sitting next to Lemoti sighed deeply and propped her chin on her hand.
“Haah, they say all the decent men are either married or sworn bachelors. That’s exactly right.”
“I know. They say old sayings are never wrong.”
The ladies chiming in were no different. Lemoti, who had researched Cherry Vallinoa to attract attention, was in the same boat.
“When is the wedding?”
“Next month already.”
“How fast. I wish I could get an invitation.”
Since it was the kingdom’s hero’s wedding, the king himself would officiate. It would be an incredibly grand wedding, so it would be quite enjoyable to watch.
The ladies gathered at the table chattered about how magnificent Cherry Vallinoa’s wedding would be. A bride marrying at the most beautiful time of midsummer when summer roses bloomed splendidly was every woman’s dream.
An August bride.
The wedding officiated by the king took place in the largest party hall in the royal palace, surrounded by gorgeous fresh flowers.
The beautiful wedding that made everyone dream of marriage concluded with a kiss between the kingdom’s hero and his lovely bride, Cherry Vallinoa.
But no matter how grand the wedding, the real ceremony was the couple’s first night.
In the bridal chamber with only soft lighting, a large canopied bed stood. Inside sat a new bride wearing a veil, demurely waiting for her husband. But the men who visited the bridal chamber weren’t one, but two.
“…”
“Let’s go in.”
Ufkhan and Ludwig, who had briefly faced each other, entered. They simultaneously drew back the curtains.
Cherry, who had been secretly putting an éclair in her mouth, widened her eyes in surprise at the sudden presence.
“Ah, you’re here? I was so hungry. I haven’t eaten anything since yesterday evening because of the corset.”
The moment she finished speaking, cookie crumbs tumbled onto the bed. Cherry grumbled about how much a new bride had to prepare while chewing the cookie in her mouth. Seeing that sloppy sight, both men simultaneously had the same thought.
Of course.
For this witch lady, filling her empty stomach was far more important than nervousness about the first night. Cherry, who stuffed the last piece into her mouth, finally smiled like she was satisfied.
Strangely, even this sight of their master was stimulating to the two servants. Ufkhan, gripping Cherry’s chin, kissed her and licked up the cream and cookie crumbs on her lips.
“Sweet.”
“It’s a cookie, so obviously, husband.”
Cherry, who laughed playfully, kissed his cheek. She wasn’t nervous, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t excited and fluttering about the wedding night.
Rather, she was looking forward to it. The first night as a new bride. But Ufkhan shook his head like that wasn’t what he was talking about.
“Not the cookie. You. You seem sweeter.”
“Mmm…”
Ufkhan smacked his lips and kissed her in earnest. The deeper the kiss, the more sweet fragrance poured from Cherry’s body.
The two servants’ eyes grew hazy, then brightened more vividly. To them, Cherry’s scent was the source of life that made them breathe, their staple food.
As Ufkhan continued the kiss, Ludwig positioned himself below Cherry. They’d already mingled bodies like this together more times than they could count on both hands.
When he stripped off the thin slip and squeezed her voluptuously swaying br*asts like milking them.
“Hm?”
A sparkling liquid trickled from her pink n*pples.
Seeing this, Ludwig’s eyes narrowed. When he touched the flowing liquid, the clear fl*id stuck to his skin stickily. Just in case, Ludwig put his mouth to the liquid and tasted sweetness.
“This is… honey.”
“Honey?”
Ufkhan furrowed his brow and asked back like he was wondering what nonsense that was. Cherry was equally dumbfounded. Liquid from her br*asts? And it was honey?
When she squeezed her own br*ast and pressed down, the lewd liquid dripped from her n*pples. The two servants couldn’t take their eyes off that sight. Soon Ludwig muttered with entranced eyes.
“…I’ve seen it in reference materials about witches. A witch’s pregnancy shows different aspects from ordinary women.”
After becoming Cherry’s servant, Ludwig had begun researching witches. Finding various rare books and original texts, he’d soon acquired knowledge surpassing even Count Vallinoa.
Fragrance witches. The first sign of their pregnancy was honey flowing from the n*pples. The clear honey would continue flowing even after the baby was born, becoming good nourishment for the newborn.
Ludwig pinched the n*pple dripping with liquid with deepened eyes.
“So that original text was true.”
“Ahng…! Wait…!”
Cherry twisted her waist at the sensation of liquid flowing. Honey flowing from her n*pples. Her face flushed bright red at the sensation she’d never felt in her life.
‘A baby so suddenly?’
Becoming a child’s mother was bewildering enough, but honey coming from her n*pples? Even the eyes of the two servants looking at her honey-flowing br*asts were ominous. That gaze made Cherry shiver.
Though she’d been semi-forcibly prevented from taking in new servants, having these two before her brought a sense of abundance that naturally filled her belly. Cherry was absentmindedly stroking her still-flat lower belly when Ufkhan’s shadow enveloped her.
“Then until the baby comes out, it’s mine.”
“No. It’s ‘ours.’”
Cherry’s back belonged to Ludwig. When the hand gripping her br*asts from behind applied pressure, squelching honey was squeezed out and flowed down her soft belly.
“Wait… hng…!”
Ufkhan took the honey-dripping n*pple in his mouth. The sensation of being sucked hard and something bursting from her br*ast stimulated her. She felt like a flower having its honey harvested.
Amid the sweet atmosphere of the wedding night and the sensation of being devoured, cognitive dissonance occurred for the first time.
‘The baby is too sudden, but.’
Cherry knew well herself that it was a case of a child raising a child, but somehow, looking at these two people, it seemed like everything would be okay. She exhaled hot breath and spoke inwardly to the new life.
‘Baby, isn’t it nice having two daddies?’
She wasn’t sure exactly who the child’s father was, but so what?
The ripe cherry curved her eyes while watching the servants biting into her br*asts.
