Epilogue.

Night fell.

Dade’s insomnia that had troubled him for so long disappeared, and now he fell asleep earlier than Nian. Of course, he was also exhausted from childcare.

Their daughter, who desperately resembled him, was so fussy that she cried all day long, and because of this, Dade couldn’t put the small child down. There was a wet nurse, but he couldn’t entrust her to anyone for fear she might get worn out or hurt.

Had he fallen into a light sleep?

Dade felt a presence and opened his eyes.

“!”

Nian was in front of him.

Nian, wearing only a white slip, was sitting astride him. The white moonlight coming through the bedroom window made her look even more fair. Somehow, the scene looked familiar, and Dade tightly closed his eyes.

“What are you doing?”

Nian lowered her lips to him, bending her waist. Getting close enough for their breaths to mingle, Nian whispered quietly,

“Do you still love me?”

At her lovely voice mixed with laughter, Dade smiled and answered.

“Yes.”

Nian smiled broadly.

“How much?”

“Enough that I’d gladly die falling into this love.”

“……”

When Nian just smiled without answering, Dade added.

“Enough that I wake up every night to check if you’re really beside me. Enough that I hold you while you sleep and smell your scent, wondering if you’re not a dream. Enough that this herb-scented reality still feels like a dream.”

“……”

“Do you need more?”

“No.”

Nian’s eyes became moist. Ah, is this what they mean when they say tears come from too much happiness?

Eventually, Nian lowered her head and whispered.

“Dade, will you…… hold me?”

Dade smiled brightly.

“Gladly.”

Though his answer was relaxed, Dade was already on the verge of going crazy with excitement. The last time he had held her was the day he took off his mask.

After that, they had been separated, and when they met again, she was already in the late stages of pregnancy. Even after childbirth, he had been reciting prayers every night while holding her, afraid that his rough desires might hurt her.

In truth, he had been about to lose control from the moment he saw Nian in her slip.

Dade quickly pulled Nian toward him and kissed her. He kneaded her b*ttocks as she straddled him, and then caressed her back. When he, in his impatience, tried to lift and turn her over, she pushed against his upper body.

“Haa.”

As Dade looked at her, breathing heavily, Nian opened her mouth with a seductive smile.

“Stay still.”

Nian looked at him with her black eyes, then lowered her head to kiss him. She caressed his firm jaw with her hand, and her small lips traced his jaw and moved down his neck.

“Haa.”

Dade’s breathing became rougher, and he instinctively wrapped his hands around her neck. Nian’s lips reached his chest and soon licked his n*pple.

“This is maddening.”

He let out a low exclamation. Nian, as if encouraged, stroked his abdomen with her hand, then with slightly trembling hands, pulled down his pants.

Dade seemed a bit surprised but smirked as if impressed. Nian appeared startled when confronted with his swollen manhood, but soon wrapped her delicate hand around it.

Dade drew in a breath.

“What are you trying to do?”

Dade asked, stroking her hair.

“Your Majesty, no, Dade, I don’t think you know…… how I feel when you do this to me.”

Her lips, which had been lingering around his chest, began to move down his abdomen.

“Ilena…… wait a moment.”

“So, I want to show you personally.”

Dade called out to her, unable to hide his bewilderment, but she looked up at him impudently with her black eyes and refused to stop.

Then, she licked his manhood, which couldn’t be fully grasped in her hand, with her tongue, and soon took it in her mouth.

“Kuk.”

Nian licked what she had taken in her mouth with inexperienced tongue movements and soon sucked it slightly. Dade’s chest heaved, and Nian felt somewhat proud. Somehow, she felt herself becoming moist too. Finding it unbearable under her ministrations, Dade finally pulled her up. He felt like he would die if he couldn’t have her right now.

“It’s been a while, so it might be…… rough. Tell me if it hurts.”

Dade warned in a voice deep with excitement. Then he entered her in one swift motion.

“Huh.”

Fortunately, she was wet enough to welcome him gladly. His large manhood filled her narrow inside completely.

Feeling her slick warmth, Dade shut his eyes tight and thrust his hips. As he thrust upward from below, her white n*ked body bounced.

He pressed and rubbed against her cl*toris, which stood er*ect above him. Her insides became even hotter and wetter.

“Haang. Hah.”

“Haa. Haa.”

Dade pulled her toward him and sucked on her lovely n*pple. He wanted to enjoy it leisurely, but her insides, which he hadn’t felt for a long time, made him unable to hold back. His hips moved even faster.

The sound of flesh hitting flesh echoed loudly. He moved her firmly grasped pelvis back and forth, rubbing it, and thrust his hips upward for deep penetration.

“Too deep…… Haah.”

When he held her down firmly until the tip of his manhood touched the smooth wall, an exquisite pleasure thoroughly soaked the two lovers. Nian trembled finely as if reaching climax, and Dade soon reached his peak as well.

Nian felt dizzy as her insides were filled with his hot essence. Dade moved a few more times slowly, then tightly held her.

“Haa. I love you.”

“Me too. I love you too.”

Dade kissed the shoulder of his lovely woman still lying n*ked on top of him and stroked her back.

“Where did you learn such a thing?”

“I learned it from Your Majesty.”

Unlike her bold actions earlier, Nian answered hesitantly, embarrassed.

“You learn bad things quickly.”

Nian smiled shyly. Dade thoroughly enjoyed the sensation of her full br*asts pressing against his chest, then lifted her and laid her down. Then he lightly kissed each of his red marks left on her neck and chest.

“By the way, I heard Count Cain is leaving?”

“Yes.”

When she returned to the palace and settled in properly, Cain had sent word that he was liquidating his assets and leaving for Samurin, as if he had been waiting for this. Then, he said to the regretful Nian with a bitter smile.

‘You’re still too precious to be with that inadequate Emperor, but he’s the one who said he wouldn’t live without you. That’s enough, I suppose I can leave with peace of mind.’

He’s a person she’s grateful for. Without him, they might not have had a happy ending.

Nian’s eyes turned slightly red.

“Well, a guest who is disliked by the host cannot stay long in the house.”

Unlike the slightly dejected Nian, Dade laughed as if pleased.

“On the day he leaves, I want to go see him off.”

“Of course. I won’t welcome him, but I’ll see him off as much as you want.”

Nian slightly rolled her eyes at Dade, who was showing childish jealousy until the end. Cain decided to leave because of his unfulfilled love, and Rachel decided to stay.

Rachel couldn’t start a new love yet because the lingering feelings of her long love hadn’t faded, but she would probably be happy soon too. She deserved to have her hands full of love because she was a sufficiently lovable person.

Dade embraced the n*ked Nian once more.

The warm sensation touched her entire body.

“Ilena.”

“Yes.”

“From now on, I’ll drink the herb tea you give me every night, and hold you, who smells even more fragrant, and greet the morning together.”

Nian smiled.

The ending was passionate, and also happy.

End.
