“……The raspberries were dyed a very pretty light pink. But now that I see, nothing seems to have as pretty a color as Laura’s n*pples.”

He kneaded her soft flesh, supporting it with four fingers while slowly, appreciatively stroking her n*pple with his thumb. It was at an unbelievably slow pace.

“Can you feel God’s power? Just focus on your sensations. There is no reason, not even a little, to be embarrassed.”

“Yes…… Ah, hnng……”

The tips of his fingers glowed white and then returned to normal repeatedly. Ludwig was controlling the intensity by releasing holy power little by little and then stopping. Either way, since he didn’t stop caressing her, Florencia heated up like raspberries receiving bright sunlight, then melted hotly like caramel softened under the sun.

“Hnn……”

She became unbearably conscious of the tickling sensation at the back of her neck, the tension in her lower abdomen, and something flowing from her secret place, wetting her underwear. No matter how she tried to hold back, strange sounds kept escaping from between her lips.

“I made raspberry jam, so eat some before you go home later. When I tasted it earlier, it was very sweet, but I wonder if yours would taste the same if I put it in my mouth?”

“Ung, I-I don’t know……”

“I’m curious.”

He spoke as if truly regretful, holding her n*pples between two fingers and gently twisting and pressing them. Seeing them standing er*ect was extremely embarrassing even to her own eyes.

“Laura, your attitude in class today is very good. I think I made the right decision taking you as my disciple.”

“……Thank you, Father…… Hnng.”

“By the way, do you perhaps know why this becomes like this?”

Ludwig asked, showing off her pink n*pple trapped between his two fingers as he wiggled it.

“I don’t know, nng……”

“When your n*pples become stiff like this, it means you’re feeling good. In other words, Laura’s body really likes this type of education.”

Florencia didn’t know whether to be happy about the praise or sad about becoming a lewd woman, so she helplessly surrendered herself to his hands. His fingertips, which had been tracing circles around her areolas, gradually moved downward along her n*pples……

“……By any chance, aren’t you wet down there? If fluid is flowing from inside your body, it means you really like this behavior.”

At his subtle question, Florencia became truly troubled and answered with a trembling voice,

“No, Father, ah, such a thing……”

“I really hate lies, Florencia.”

Ludwig spoke strictly as he moved his hand lower and lower. His fingertips were now tickling her lower abdomen, circling around her navel.

“If you don’t act honestly, I’ll put my hand under your skirt and check directly.”

“I’m sorry, Father! ……Down there, I, being wet…… hic, it’s true.”

Florencia spoke urgently, slightly sobbing, afraid he might really do so.

“Good.”

A languid voice sounded with satisfaction from behind her. If the situation had been slightly better, she might have noticed his voice that seemed relaxed yet heavily suppressed, and his bulging front…… But for Florencia, who had no experience with such things, it was impossible.

He is God’s representative who has received holy power, so he must have no other intentions whatsoever. Moreover, the priest seems to be perfectly focused only on education, while I said I would become a saintess, yet I have such a lewd body.

Florencia, worried that he might be displeased, made excuses in a small voice,

“Hnn, Father, I’m sorry for showing you such an inadequate side……”

“Not at all, I’m glad to see that you seem ready to study hard.”

“But, I dare not, nng, f-feel you as a m-man or anything like that, so please don’t be angry……”

“……Hmm, is that true?”

Florencia flinched at the subtly changed tone in his voice.

Could it be…… Did he notice that I’ve been stealing glances at his lips several times?

“It’s true, absolutely not that kind of…… Aah.”

Surprisingly, he seemed not to mind at all and readily let it pass. Instead, he immediately removed his hand that had been sweetly caressing the underside of her n*pples, where she was most sensitive.

“……Father?”

“Florencia, today’s education ends here. You seem to have done fairly well.”

Kind hands dressed her in her underwear again, pulled up her dress, and refastened the buttons. Florencia felt relief but also an inexplicable sense of disappointment rising from somewhere……

In fact, Ludwig knew that she was melting so sweetly from the unfamiliar sensations that she could barely sit upright. He also noticed her legs, hidden by the thin summer dress, repeatedly pressing together and squirming.

Nevertheless, he suddenly stopped because,

‘Not feeling me as a man?’

It was obvious to anyone that Florencia had begun to be conscious of him. Even today, how lovely it was to see her blushing and stealing glances at him several times, lost in her own thoughts.

And yet, not feeling him as a man……

Of course, it was an excuse to hide her embarrassment and probably not sincere, but hearing those words still twisted his mood. So this was, in a way, Ludwig’s own form of spite.

Florencia fanned her burning face with her small hand. While relieved that she could continue her theological education, she was also anxious about what would happen next.

‘But surely, there can’t be anything more embarrassing than this……’

She tried to reassure herself as she carefully asked,

“Um, Father? Will the education in the future…… be like this? That, what you mentioned…… physical contact.”

Ludwig smiled with utmost kindness at his innocent disciple’s question.

“Of course not.”

“……”

A cool smile hung on his lips, but his voice sounded somewhat mischievous.

“For the next education, you’ll have to take off all your clothes, Laura. Down to the bottom.”

Her round eyes, filled with fear, widened. He could see her small hands fidgeting with the hem of her skirt, but ignoring this, Ludwig continued in his still kind manner:

“……Since you said you don’t even see me as a man, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?”

* * *

Florencia hadn’t been feeling well since the day before. Her body movements were heavier than usual, and her lower abdomen felt slightly pulled and throbbing. Despite not eating dinner well, she felt indigestion, and in the morning, she even felt slightly unwell.

While preparing to go to class, she suddenly counted on her fingers and realized that her menstrual cycle was approaching.

‘It seems like it’s about to start soon, this month is a bit earlier than usual.’

Her sensitive n*pples caused slight pain just from brushing against her underwear, making her unnecessarily edgy. Florencia, who was about to leave the dormitory with her class materials listed on the schedule, also wore menstrual underwear inside her dress just in case.

The pain in her lower abdomen created an uncomfortable tension that persisted subtly throughout the morning classes. However, there was actually a different reason that made Florencia even more tense.

‘If I suddenly say I can’t receive education today because I’m not feeling well, would that be an inconvenience to Father’s schedule……?’

Today’s schedule in the Academy ended in the morning, but theology lessons with Ludwig were planned after lunch.

‘Father Ludwig is a kind person, so if I tell him I’m sick, he’ll surely ask in detail what’s wrong and offer to treat me.’

But no matter what, she couldn’t tell the priest, who was still a man, that she wasn’t feeling well because of her approaching period. When she was younger, just starting her first menstruation, she seemed to have told him various things without knowing to be embarrassed, but……

What worried her more about the upcoming theology lesson was what he had said when finishing the last education.

‘Father said that for today’s education, I would have to take off all my clothes.’

Although she was a noble lady, Florencia, who didn’t have maids to help her bathe or dress, wasn’t accustomed to undressing in front of others. Just kissing the priest and showing her br*asts last time had been embarrassing enough to make her faint, but she could somehow endure that much. She didn’t dislike the strange, peculiar sensations that welled up whenever she felt God’s power through intimate physical contact……

But having to be completely n*ked in front of the priest was too, too embarrassing no matter how she thought about it. Florencia was at a loss, looking like she might cry. As the dreaded moment approached, she felt like running away, and the pain in her lower abdomen that she had momentarily forgotten began to resurface.

In the end, Florencia couldn’t undress by the time he returned. Seeing her fidgeting with the ribbon holding her dress, Ludwig gently asked,

“Laura, aren’t you ready for the lesson yet?”

“I’m sorry……”

“It’s all right, take your time.”

Sitting on the sofa across from her, he took out some documents filled with dense text from the table drawer and began reading them. She had heard that a priest’s duties were so busy that they hardly had any leisure time, and it seemed even more so for him as the High Priest.

‘Father is teaching me by squeezing time out of his busy schedule, and I’m delaying the lesson progress because I’m embarrassed…… What if he has to stay in his office until late at night because he couldn’t finish his work because of me……’

Ludwig’s face as he looked at the documents was no different than usual, and his tone wasn’t reproachful. But the guilt of stealing his precious time pricked Florencia’s kind heart. Gathering her courage, Florencia composed herself and began removing her outer clothes one by one, but perhaps due to excessive tension, her body felt stiff and she felt indigestion.

“At this rate, can we even start the lesson today?”
