However, he felt no particular guilt about the fact that she would be confined to the temple and unable to meet or talk with anyone other than him in the future. Rather, he felt a strange satisfaction, which made him want to spit on his own hypocrisy and ugly inner self.

Ensuring the future of the little one left at the Hazel family was his consideration so that Florencia wouldn’t worry about her brother and be sad. Even if it was Florencia’s young brother, Ludwig was someone who could eliminate him without hesitation if he became an obstacle to taking her away.

Soon to be mine alone…… my little angel.

Clearly, they wouldn’t be together after life ended.

Her pure soul would fly to the most comfortable place in a peaceful haven, but the flames of hell awaited him for those who had committed unforgivable sins by abandoning their priestly duties.

He saw her pouting lips as she looked out the window sulkily. He leaned toward the opposite seat and gently pressed his lips against hers.

Florencia kept looking around with round eyes. Stefain, the port city in the eastern region, had a completely different atmosphere from the capital. There were many foreigners and people in unique attire, and the famous restaurants and cafes each had their own character.

The restaurant they were now in also aimed for an exotic atmosphere that was uncommon in the capital.

“Let’s have dinner here, and then take a hot spring bath when it’s time.”

“Yes, Father. This is my first time in a place like this!”

“I’m glad you like it, Laura. We just came in while passing by.”

Shortly after, their ordered meals were served one after another. Following a light amuse-bouche, the main dish appeared with mashed potatoes and fresh baby greens, looking appetizing. Florencia couldn’t hide her excitement at all. Her flushed cheeks looked as if sweet apple juice would flow out if poked.

“The food seems good. Eat plenty.”

“It’s so delicious! Soft and savory…… And this tangy sauce is something I’ve never tasted before.”

“This place is also famous for its desserts. The dessert menu is separate here, so take a look in advance.”

Ludwig cut the tender veal steak into bite-sized pieces and placed it in front of her. Though she didn’t notice it herself, Florencia’s eyes sparkled when she saw delicious food, and she truly enjoyed eating. Perhaps it was because she had grown up being conscious of even her eating habits at the residence since childhood. The way she carefully put food between her plump lips and moved them was incredibly lovely.

Actually, it was a lie that they had just entered while passing by.

This was one of the most famous restaurants in Stefain, where the chef personally prepared the meals. Ludwig had made a prior reservation for the best room-type seat with the best view at this place, which wouldn’t even allow entry without a reservation and wouldn’t accept just anyone’s reservation.

“Laura, what would you like for dessert?”

“I’m trying to decide……”

“Decide what?”

“I want to try both the chilled chocolate mousse and the ice cream with fresh strawberries……”

Ludwig burst into laughter at her small face deep in serious contemplation. Somewhat impulsively, he moved to sit beside her and offered a solution.

“I don’t particularly enjoy desserts, so you can order two that you want.”

“Is that really okay?”

“Of course.”

He rang the bell on one side of the table to place the order, and soon chocolate mousse and ice cream in pretty dessert plates arrived. The crumbled cookie decorations and glossy fresh strawberry toppings were almost too pretty to eat. Ludwig happily watched as her violet-like eyes sparkled once more and her silver spoon moved busily.

“Father, won’t you have any? It’s really delicious……”

“Let me try.”

Ludwig gently stopped her as she tried to serve him ice cream with a new spoon. He put the spoon she had been using directly into his mouth while looking into her eyes, causing her to blush instantly to the tips of her ears. They had already exchanged saliva numerous times and done even more intimate things, so why was she suddenly embarrassed by this? Finding it both curious and cute, Ludwig reached out and firmly pressed her soft earlobe. The completely red earlobe turned white for a moment, but as soon as he let go, it quickly returned to a pinkish color.

“……Father? Aren’t you going to eat more?”

Florencia asked in a flustered voice as he moved closer. Ludwig put his arm around her shoulder and whispered quickly, just loud enough for one person to hear.

“Seeing your upper mouth chewing so adorably makes me worry whether your lower mouth hidden under your skirt might be hungry too. If it’s alright, may I check?”

Florencia quickly looked around with wide eyes, afraid someone might have heard. Fortunately, their seat was completely separated by decorative walls and doors, so no one could have heard.

“Father…… Even so, in, in a place like this……”

“Don’t worry, the table hides everything from view. Rather, if you keep looking around with that face, anyone would find it strange.”

Having blocked outside vision with his power, to others it would only appear as if the two were sitting normally across from each other, quietly having their meal. Ludwig deliberately didn’t tell Florencia this fact as his hand went under the table and casually slipped under her skirt.

“Your underwear today…… has ribbons on it.”

Through the thin fabric, he could feel the plump flesh and the split in the middle. He rubbed her entire p*ssy as if cupping it with his palm, and when it warmed up and relaxed, he applied pressure with his middle finger. As he stimulated it with quick vibrating movements, fluid gushed from her vaginal opening, soaking through her underwear and wetting his hand.

“Hnn, Fatherrr……”

“There’s ice cream left. Finish eating.”

There was no way she could eat more in such a situation. When Ludwig’s fingers slipped between her now damp underwear and lightly brushed her vaginal entrance, Florencia clung to his arm as if pleading.

When he pushed aside the thin fabric barrier, the moist inner flesh that immediately touched his fingers was soft and warm. Enjoying that sensation fully, he opened her l*bia with his index and ring fingers and slowly pushed his middle finger inside. Her hot, tight interior swallowed it and squeezed tightly.

“Ugh…… u, Father, no……”

Contrary to her words, her heated p*ssy kept flowing with fluid. Ignoring her protests, he found her swollen cl*toris with his thumb and stimulated it in the way she responded to best. He heard a small sound of her swallowing her breath—hup—and her v*gina, still gripping his middle finger, contracted repeatedly. Her cute bottom, pressed against the chair, moved up and down in a manner that made it impossible to tell whether she was refusing or begging for more. Ludwig decided to interpret it as he pleased.

“Look, it’s eating so well like this. If I had left it alone, how disappointed your lower mouth would have been.”

“Stop, I can’t, take anymore, huuh……”

“Laura, you need to develop patience. If you make strange noises during a meal, everyone might look this way.”

When he curled his finger inside and rubbed the particularly sensitive spot on the upper wall of her v*gina, a sweet moan burst out. Ludwig’s power blocked sound as well so no one could hear, but Florencia, unaware of this fact, couldn’t bear it anymore and picked up the silver spoon in front of her. As she put it in her mouth trying to suppress her embarrassing sounds, the remaining ice cream melted on her tongue. With a dessert spoon tasting of chocolate and ice cream in her upper mouth, and his long, elegant finger in her lower one, everything felt too hot and melting. She reached a light climax while sitting at an elegant table in the upscale restaurant.

“Is it delicious, Laura?”

“Hnn, no, ah…!”

“Laura’s adorable upper mouth lies so well.”

Ludwig pulled his finger, thoroughly soaked with her fluids, out of her heated interior. Then, as if to show off, he put it directly in his mouth and licked it sweetly.

“But your cute lower mouth is so honest.”

“Ah, Father……”

Florencia made a tearful face, but he didn’t mind at all.

“I must take back my statement about not enjoying sweets. I didn’t realize I was so weak for something this sweet.”

Ludwig licked her fluids that completely coated his long finger and showed it to her.

“……The inside is so hot that my fingertips already seem wrinkled. Perhaps we’d better not go to the hot springs today.”

As Florencia tried to look away in embarrassment, Ludwig gently stroked her head and whispered.

“This is enough dessert for me. Thank you for the meal, Florencia.”

After leaving the restaurant, she thought they would return directly to the inn, but Ludwig seemed to have no such intention from the start as he walked along the brick-paved road.

“I sent the coachman back already. The inn isn’t far, can you walk a little?”

“Yes, Father!”

Florencia clapped her hands cutely as she walked with bouncy steps.

Unfamiliar city, unfamiliar air, unfamiliar people.

(Though this wasn’t really a trip) The night air of a travel destination she was visiting for the first time somehow made her heart flutter. Especially on a summer night like this with a pleasantly cool breeze blowing. Florencia closed her eyes and took a deep breath of the refreshing night air that carried a slight scent of the sea.
