Ah, the tongue that had been floating in the air stiffened dizzyingly as her white thighs twisted wildly.

“Huh! Ah, no…, wait…uh!”

Seiden grabbed Bellota’s flailing hands and overlapped his fingers over hers. Then, he firmly fixed her tender body so she couldn’t escape at all and roughly lifted his waist.

Her body, completely dominated by his hard body, lost its own strength and shook violently. When Bellota looked at Seiden with desperate eyes without daring to make a sound, he couldn’t bear it and bent down to swallow her open lips.

Kissing wasn’t a condition in the contract, but Bellota couldn’t push him away. Each time his hot and thick tongue wrapped around her stiffened tongue, a dizzying pl*asure surged up her back.

Only then did Bellota realize that her body desperately wanted even his kisses. Despite receiving his essence, her body in heat seemed to proclaim that just inserting and shaking their sexes wasn’t enough. It warned her that such simple and boring acts wouldn’t suffice. It had to be roughly thrust and pressed down.

Her whole body had to be engulfed, licked, crushed, and finally mashed into a mess. That was the only key to unlocking the curse. Bellota’s waist, which had accepted his kiss with a vain realization, rose significantly. It was because the thick tip had once again rammed into that bumpy flesh.

“Hmph…!”

The clumsily wrapped white leg around his waist trembled and convulsed. Seiden, too, clearly recognized that weakness and rubbed and pressed down on that tender flesh. As the sensitive flesh was crushed, Bellota didn’t know what to do and writhed. Her vision completely whitened out. At that moment, without warning, Seiden pulled out his waist,

“Ah, no…”

Thump, he thrust his swollen c*ck directly into her, crushing her flesh. Bellota’s head was immediately thrown back within his embrace and something too shameful to bring to her mouth burst forth from below her.

Bellota gasped without being able to breathe or make a sound. It was a joy so terrifying. Her hot inner walls that reached a violent cl*max tightened terrifyingly, and Seiden’s hard b*ttocks also tightened.

Seiden bit down and finally came a second time. Fearing that even this time the curse would not be satisfied, he embraced her limp body tightly and poured everything out without leaving a single drop.

Gulping down, the hot and dense substance filled her v*gina so explicitly that Bellota’s white thighs twitched and convulsed. Having received all of his essence, Bellota’s body tensed up for a moment, then slowly settled down. Her breath seemed to stop between her parted red lips, and transparent tears rolled down from the corner of her eyes.

“Ha…”

With a low breath, Seiden carefully reached out to wipe away the clear tears that flowed down. His touch made Bellota’s face twitch. But that was all; Bellota did not push him away. It seemed she didn’t even have the strength to push him away.

Is this the end? The moment Seiden slowly tried to pull out his c*ck, her soaked inner walls tightened terrifyingly, as if they wouldn’t allow it. Feeling that sensation, not only Seiden’s breath but also Bellota’s breath, who just wanted to faint right there, stopped.

Their eyes met in mid-air.

Impossible.

Tears of emptiness welled up in Bellota’s eyes again. Seiden could not find any words and just blankly stared at her before biting his lips and grasping her cheek. Seiden also finally realized the viciousness of the curse that was holding onto her with his whole body. What curse she was under.

It wasn’t simple. He seemed to understand what this damned curse wanted, even if he didn’t know what it was exactly. It wanted the saintess to fall. To be miserably breached by this curse and collapse without a trace.

The only thing he could do for her in this situation was just one thing. That fact was painfully clear now. That the only thing he could do was this.

But there was no time to dwell on such sentiments. Bellota’s body, which had been dense, tensed up again more sharply than before as she breathed deeper than earlier from her parted lips.

Bellota’s eyes were soaked with despair and resignation under the massive curse. As Seiden grasped her a$s to perform that one thing he could do, Bellota closed her eyes as if accepting what was about to happen again.

The curse that persistently clung to her hair seemed to frolic with glee. Grinding his teeth against its malice, Seiden eventually pushed himself in again. That was all he could do.

* * *

Bellota’s vow not to spend this full moon in the tower had crumbled vainly. She wanted Seiden until her body, exhausted from the curse deeply rooted within her bones, fainted, and she fainted again, consumed by that immense energy.

Finally waking up in the tower in the morning again, Bellota found Seiden silently guarding her side against the dazzling sunlight. The moment she saw his heavy face, which was inscrutable, something inside Bellota crumbled miserably.

The relief of having survived another full moon provided no comfort at all. The despair and powerlessness of realizing the depth of this vicious and malicious curse, mixed with her shame and regret towards Seiden, broke down whatever she was barely holding up.

When she accepted Seiden’s proposal, Bellota hadn’t thought deeply about it. She simply believed that once in half a month, she could overcome the ugly curse with loose and weak movements and protect her dignity. Bellota had underestimated this curse and paid the price for it.

“We need to cancel the contract.”

The words Bellota spat out as soon as she opened her eyes made Seiden, who had been staring at the floor as if thinking about something beside her, slowly raise his head. Bellota calmly looked back at him with uncomprehending eyes yet with a fierce face, and slowly got up.

Every movement made her muscles throb painfully, and her joints ached sharply, as if proving that the curse from which she could never escape from was real. Seiden must have felt it clearly too. The dreadful energy that had fiercely clung to everything about him.

“What are you talking about?”

Seiden’s low voice was cool. Bellota parted her dry lips again to reply.

“It’s not something you should be dealing with.”

She had accepted Seiden’s proposal, believing she could endure it if it was only to the same extent she had experienced during the last full moon. That it would be okay to rely on this indifferent man for just that much.

Just up to that point.

“You have nothing to do with this.”

Hearing Bellota’s cold words, Seiden’s face momentarily went blank. He soon grasped the meaning of those words and clenched his teeth tightly. His face turned fierce in anger.

“Then do you think,”

The man’s red eyes, emitting a chilly voice, seemed on the verge of exploding.

“Do you think this is something the saintess should handle alone?”

Bellota firmly closed her mouth and looked at Seiden.

Something she had to bear alone. It was strange. She couldn’t understand why her heart felt like it was going to break under that cold interrogation. Maybe Bellota herself hoped it wasn’t so. That this heavy, overwhelming burden wasn’t hers alone. But she could no longer deny it. She had to accept it.

“I’ve finally realized that it’s something I have to bear alone.”

Bellota knew what had taken over her body completely the day before. She had never experienced it before, but the moment it consumed her, she understood everything.

Once was not enough. It had no intention of letting her go easily or turning a blind eye. Probably every month, she would be tormented by this curse until she was too exhausted, unable to even twitch a finger. It was impossible to keep Seiden, who had nothing to do with this matter, tied up in this way every full moon.

Seiden Blackwood was already bearing much, even without her. He was the only swordmaster bound to the gods himself and a nobleman who bravely ventured into dangerous territories that everyone shunned to save the citizens of the empire. She couldn’t expend such a man to alleviate her pain.

Bellota averted Seiden’s gaze with determined eyes, as if she had already made up her mind. Her cold and firm will wasclearly transmitted to Seiden. His jaw clenched tightly as if about to explode, then slowly relaxed.

Seiden slowly parted his dry lips.

“Now listen carefully.”

His voice, gentle and different from his fierce gaze, made Bellota, who stubbornly refused to look at Seiden, turn her eyes back to him.

“This is something even the saintess need not bear. This curse,”

Seiden paused for a moment and looked intently at Bellota. His jaw tightened again, as if in anger.

“It’s not your fault.”

At those words, Bellota’s eyes, which had been stubbornly hardened, flickered momentarily. And her heart tightened painfully, forcing her to cautiously clench her fist. All throughout, Seiden’s unwavering gaze remained firmly on Bellota.

“So I will definitely find a way to break this damn curse.”

At those words, Bellota’s heart truly fell. Despite knowing it was impossible. Despite knowing that the pope and the priest, the most grand and dignified in the empire, had not discovered it for a hundred years, Seiden’s eyes shone too determinedly.

So much so that she wanted to foolishly and weakly hope.

“I will definitely do it.”

As Seiden repeated his firm resolve, Bellota could not bear the heavy emotion and tightly closed her eyes.

Hoping that her heart’s turmoil wasn’t visible. Hoping that he wouldn’t notice her foolish and excessive hope.

When she slowly opened her eyes again to see Seiden, his gaze was still firm and unwavering, making her want to believe in that promise.
