“Ludwig, hnng, Father Ludwig……”

Her sweet voice crying, unable to overcome the extreme pleasure, was delightful. Florencia wept aloud as she was taken from behind, her upper body completely collapsed and bent over the edge of the hot bath. Her soft br*asts were pressed against the smooth marble, with her er*ect n*pples squashed in various directions.

“……Mmng, hnnp.”

He pushed his free hand between her parted lips as she cried, thoroughly exploring inside. The soft, warm membrane and sweet wet breath wrapped tightly around his finger.

“Nngh……”

At that moment, feeling complete fulfillment, Ludwig ej*culated pleasurably. The feeling of taking all three sweet holes of his lovely bride at once was indescribably satisfying.

In the humid, hot space.

Between the hot water streams flowing here and there, breathing sounds boiling with heat greater than the hot spring’s warmth mingled once more.

* * *

“In the end, we didn’t properly enjoy the hot spring bath.”

Though I didn’t intend it. Adding these utterly unbelievable words, Ludwig smiled meaningfully. He tried to persuade her to visit the hot spring again tomorrow evening, but Florencia shook her head, certain the same thing would happen.

“If you’re disappointed, we can enjoy it in the room too.”

As he said, the bathroom in their room was quite large and very warm as it drew directly from the hot spring water. Anyway, she was about to refuse as she had no such thoughts now, when Ludwig, who was organizing her belongings, asked:

“Laura, what’s this?”

“Ah, that’s……”

In his hand was the locket necklace she had bought at the jewelry store earlier that day. She had planned to cut some of his hair and put it inside as a gift! She had completely forgotten about it after he had drained all her energy in the hot spring.

“It’s a gift for you, Ludwig.”

Though it was bought with his money, Ludwig looked extremely touched. The way he opened and closed the still-empty golden pendant by pressing the small button made him look as happy as someone unwrapping their first-ever gift box.

“Laura, but there are two more of the same thing?”

He asked again after discovering the silver lockets with simpler designs and no decorations.

“Ah, those are for Michael and…… a friend in the capital, I bought them to send.”

“You mean Marquis Esteban, your friend?”

“That’s right, I received a letter recently saying he’s doing well. I thought I’d include it when I send a reply.”

Florencia answered without thinking, but Ludwig’s eyes narrowed progressively as he heard this. After silently glaring at the necklace for a while, he spoke again.

“This one is also a locket design, what were you planning to put inside to send?”

“Oh, my hair.”

“And for mine?”

“Also, hair……”

Ludwig’s face was now visibly hardened. Florencia finally realized that her insensitive decision had hurt his feelings.

“The same gift as for others. I suppose I’m not such a special person to Laura after all.”

Feeling her mistake acutely at his obvious displeasure, Florencia covered her mouth with an “Ah.”

“I’m sorry, Ludwig. I was thoughtless. I hurt your feelings, didn’t I……”

“I’m not particularly pleased.”

“But the jeweler said that putting something in these lockets isn’t just for lovers. He said it’s very common among family and friends too…… And your locket has a different design from the others, see……”

“Hmm. Even with that explanation, it doesn’t really resonate with me. Am I too narrow-minded?”

Her hasty excuse didn’t seem to work well. He still looked displeased, but thinking about it, his feelings were understandably hurt. Flustered, Florencia tried to meet Ludwig’s eyes as he turned his face away.

“To say you’re not special is absurd. Ludwig, you’re the person I love most in this world.”

“Is that true?”

“Yes, yes! And we’re husband and wife now, which means we have the most special relationship in the world……”

The most special relationship…… At those words, Ludwig’s resentment seemed to fade somewhat as he turned back to her. Relieved that his mood was improving, Florencia quickly added:

“I’ll prepare something different to put in your locket. Like a small portrait of myself.”

“Hmm, I don’t like that. Isn’t that also a common gift? I’d prefer something more special.”

“Then…… how about a prayer I’ve handwritten myself? I’ll write it beautifully on small paper with a nice fragrance.”

“I don’t care for that either. I know every prayer by heart, so why would I need to carry one around written down?”

I thought his mood had improved, but apparently not…….

His requests were unexpectedly demanding. Finally, Florencia asked in a guilt-laden voice, “Then, what would you like?” Ludwig smiled slightly.

“Well.”

“……”

“Laura, if I tell you what I want, will you give it to me?”

The smile that appeared on his handsome lips was somehow ambiguous. Though his meaningful smile made her uneasy, Florencia, seeing no other option, eventually nodded in agreement.

* * *

So this is what it was…….

What Veronica had mentioned.

The special act a husband might demand at their honeymoon destination.

Something frightening, embarrassing, and potentially painful, on a different level from their previous expressions of affection…….

‘I’m glad I prepared myself mentally in advance……’

She remembered Veronica saying that if she refused or cried, the man’s heart might leave just like that. Recalling Veronica’s words, Florencia tried not to let her trembling show.

“Laura, hold your skirt.”

Perched on an armchair with armrests, Florencia was exposed below like a baby bear in a fairy tale. With her legs spread wide and resting on the armrests, the position alone was terribly embarrassing, but Ludwig instructed her to hold up her skirt, which was already raised to her navel.

“Very good.”

His face looked satisfied as he admired Florencia’s embarrassed form. The thin undergarment that might have covered her shameful place had already been removed and tossed aside by him, now lying lonely in the distance. Her small white feet dangled helplessly in the air, repeatedly curling inward to express her shyness.

“You’re pretty, Laura.”

“……”

Though she gave no response, her small toes tensed even more at his words. Looking closely, even the tops of her feet had turned slightly red. He found it so adorable that he wanted to bite the tips, but feeling that would be too much, Ludwig barely restrained himself.

“Shall we begin?”

Her small face, flushed red, kept her mouth tightly shut and looked away, avoiding his eyes. Her exposed fair body and secret parts fully received his heated gaze. The room’s lights were unusually bright, and only her light-colored pubic hair covered the tightly closed pale pink inner flesh. Ludwig now intended to remove even that.

“Don’t move, or your skin might get cut.”

“Yes……”

“There’s no need to be so tense.”

Noticing the tension in her small body, he placed a loud kiss on her reddened nose tip.

Seated between Florencia’s legs, Ludwig cupped her entire p*ssy with his palm and stroked it lightly first. On a low stool beside him was a silver basin filled with warm water. The smooth shaving cream he applied, mixed with water, created an unfamiliar sensation as it spread evenly over her p*ssy.

“Hmmp……”

Finally, the thin razor blade touched her sensitive area. Florencia, frozen at the cool sensation, took a small breath. The subtle sound of pubic hair being shaved away felt strangely er*tic. What he wanted instead of cut hair for the locket pendant was truly something special…….

The small hand gripping her raised skirt was exceptionally white. Florencia pressed her gathered toes together, suppressing her embarrassment. Though it was shameful to display her lower parts in detail before his eyes, she also feared the pain if the sharp blade cut her delicate skin. Some fear added weight to her embarrassment. So this is why Veronica said it might hurt.

But even so, this seems too…… strange…….

To think that everyone does this to commemorate their special first night……!

Veronica said it was natural for married couples, so there’s nothing strange about it.

Just what else…… can married couples do together?

Shocked by the lewd act that easily surpassed the boundaries of her imagination, Florencia suddenly felt somewhat afraid of her new life in the territory. For some reason, the content of the book she had seen at the bookstore earlier that day kept flashing before her eyes.

“Are you scared?”

He asked as he carefully shaved just above her cl*toris. Florencia answered in a very small voice that she was.

“It’s all right, you don’t think I would hurt you, do you?”

As he reassured her, he proceeded very skillfully. His careful handling of her delicate flesh to prevent injury soon dispelled her fears. But…… as the worry about pain subsided, even the act that had seemed only frightening and embarrassing began to evoke strange sensations. Each time his long fingers gently brushed sensitive areas and softly rubbed the fragrant cream, her p*ssy kept growing hotter inside. At some point, she felt love juices beginning to pool and flow out from inside, and Florencia desperately prayed for this time to pass quickly. To get wet down there while enduring such a strange act was truly too embarrassing……

“Laura.”

Being the continent’s foremost mischief-maker, Ludwig wouldn’t pretend not to notice Florencia’s difficult situation. His voice, tinged with laughter, pricked at her heart that was about to burst with embarrassment.

“It’s troublesome if you keep getting wet like this.”

I just need a memento for the locket, but are you having some lewd thoughts? His subtly teasing tone added fuel to her already red face.

Ah, at this rate, shaving cream won’t even be necessary…… At his low murmur, Florencia could no longer endure and covered her face with both hands.

“Laura, why cover your pretty face when you’re showing everything below?”

Ludwig lightly laughed and tapped her protruding cl*toris with his finger. His delicate eyes curved gently, filled with playfulness.
