Chapter 2

Eileen glanced at Leios’s face as he entered her bedroom through her window. At some point, she had started her period, and Leios had quickly inherited the dukedom, causing them to drift apart, but Leios still held a special meaning for her.

‘……I thought I would marry Leios someday.’

Queen Edna had occasionally joked about marriage talks with the previous Duchess. Eileen, who grew up watching them speak so warmly and affectionately, believed that he would truly become her husband.

However, after four years of not seeing him, everything had changed completely. Their appearances had also changed a lot. The boy and girl they once were had vanished.

‘…….’

The Leios she knew had grown so tall she had to look up at him, and the mischievous golden eyes of the boy had become sharp and intense.

His black hair and golden eyes were the same as she remembered, but Leios now exuded a cold aura that made Eileen’s face flush.

“Leios, I…… Hmph!”

Suddenly, he kissed her. His hot breath touched her lips, and Eileen allowed the soft, moist sensation to invade her, closing her eyes in a shiver.

Her small, delicate hand, lost and unsure, grabbed the edge of Leios’s uniform, and his hand quickly caught her wrist. The nanny once said a first kiss tasted like flying cotton candy, but that was wrong. Eileen felt ticklish, as if her whole body had become a feather.

“Hng, Leios.”

“Shh.”

When she called his name with a soft m*an, his answer was to bite her lower lip again. Stimulating her already spread legs was easy, but Leios could not easily bring himself to take her and make her his. It was a lingering sense of guilt. The thought that the commander of the knights, who was supposed to protect the royal family, was violating her, weighed on him like a stopper at the tip of his desire. Yet, every time he licked her sweet lips, swallowed them, or gently played with her mouth with his tongue, his dirty desire to possess her small, trembling body grew uncontrollably.

“Who was it?”

“Hng?”

“Who brought such a book to you, Princess?”

While holding Eileen’s hands above her head and gently licking her, Leios’s hand brushed against a half-open, spread-out popular novel.

‘Was she reading this?’

Even a casual glance at the open pages showed content that didn’t suit Eileen at all. He wanted to poke out his own eyes for seeing it, and the person who had corrupted the princess deserved punishment. As Leios’s golden eyes glinted coldly, Eileen hurriedly tried to pull her wrist free. But her slender wrist, caught in his firm grip, could not escape.

“I-I wanted to read it.”

“……Is that really true?”

“I heard I might have to marry soon……. All the women in the palace learn bedroom arts, don’t they?”

“Bedroom arts?”

Marriage. At those words, anger boiled deep in Leios’s chest. If the previous King and Queen hadn’t died so helplessly, she would have been his. The thought that the most noble woman in Staerfix, at the highest position, was being considered for marriage with a barbaric imperial prince was disgusting.

If the previous King were alive, he would have cherished her as a treasure and eventually given her to Leios. Their engagement had always been public knowledge.

If only the previous King had lived, it would have happened.

“So, you’re asking me to help you because of that?”

“Not exactly……”

As Leios frowned slightly, Eileen looked at him with sparkling eyes. Both Eric and Leios had black hair and golden eyes. Eileen had seen Leios often since childhood, but seeing him grown up made her heart pound with embarrassment. Eric and Leios definitely resembled each other.

“I just didn’t want my first night to be with a man whose face I barely know.”

“……So you’re saying I’m okay?”

“If it’s you, Leios, I……”

Ha. What was this little princess saying? Leios, seeing her below him in a sheer chemise, talking so cheerfully, covered her mouth with his again. This time, she didn’t run away, lifting her head as if to kiss him back, which excited Leios.

Watching her cherry-red lips become wet with his saliva, the knightly spirit he held for the royal family grew faint. Unless Eileen resisted strongly, her current appearance seemed to be waiting for him to take her.

“What do you want me to do, Princess?”

“First, call me Eileen like before……”

Leios lowered his head and pressed gentle kisses along Eileen’s slender neckline. Each time her flesh was slightly sucked into his lips, Eileen turned her face away, whimpering. Her profile was excessively beautiful, too much to show anyone else.

‘She wanted her first time to be with me. Didn’t that mean she held me in her heart, too?’

Such an impossible thought formed in Leios’s mind. 

‘Did she know how cute and fair her blushing cheeks looked?’

“Eileen.”

“Mm……”

“Look at me.”

When he saw her slightly opened green eyes filled with curiosity and excitement, Leios did not betray her expectations and gently cupped her soft br*ast with his hand.

“Kyaa!”

Her chemise was so thin that her cute n*pple stood out even without light. Just touching her small body made her open her mouth and chirp like a baby bird asking for food. Leios lowered his head and placed his red tongue over her chemise. The reddish n*pple showed a lovely color through the wet fabric.

“Aah!”

“It’s standing up here.”

“Hng, that’s because of you, Leios.”

Leios smirked and pointed his tongue, gently swirling it around the tip. As he counted each pronounced *reola around the *rect n*pple, her slender waist wriggled side to side.

“Aah!”

“What am I doing, Eileen?”

Her full br*asts, more than enough for his mouth, surprised even Leios with their size. Who would have known such a small body could have such large br*asts? Despite the hot weather, royal attire was always classic and tight, so Eileen always wore lace dresses up to her neck.

What would happen if the men of the kingdom found out such heavy br*asts hung from her chest?

Leios licked his lips. Even though they were the br*asts of a maiden who had never nursed, Eileen herself seemed as sweet as ripe fruit. Only he knew this body. The fact that she hadn’t shown this to any man made Leios’s desire swell even more.

Unable to control himself, he squeezed her large br*ast with his other hand, making Eileen gasp with her eyes tightly closed.

“It feels, hng, strange, it hurts, ha.”

“Does it feel good?”

Leios’s words had grown shorter. Like when they used to secretly meet in the palace garden as children. After being caught by the Queen and Duchess and scolded, Leios had never treated her as his equal again.

Yes, at least in this moment, Eileen belonged only to him. Not the noble lady of Ruby Palace, but the cute and sensual woman beneath him.

“What do you want me to do?”

Watching Eileen’s trembling body, Leios paused all his actions toward her. He didn’t touch her or tease her with his tongue. He simply looked down at her, and Eileen, seeing his swollen front, looked at him in confusion.

What does he mean, what does she want?

Eileen’s throat bobbed nervously at his sudden question.

“You have to tell me what you want, Princess.”

“Leios……”

She had boldly asked him for help and brought him to her room, but saying the explicit acts herself was difficult. Eileen’s white chemise, twisted around her body, revealed wet spots in the moonlight. Unable to answer, Leios tapped the edge of her chemise above her thigh, teasing the skin underneath.

“There must be somewhere uncomfortable, isn’t there?”

As his mischievous hand neared her secret place, Eileen’s expression twisted as if overwhelmed by desire. Even biting her lips tightly was lovely, but her damp, hot groin was unbearably wet.

“Don’t tease me……….”

“You seem to like being teased.”

At his pointed remark, Eileen’s face flushed like a blooming peony. Realizing that Leios’s gaze was far from the honest knight she knew, she felt even more ticklish below.

Men and women of Staerfix, who loved freedom and peace, naturally loved and slept together upon reaching adulthood. If their spouse allowed, they could have lovers or marry multiple times. Eileen was the only one who didn’t know how to accept a man.

‘Our noble Princess Eileen.’

It was a place where anyone was expected to be loved, but she had to live confined. Even more so after her brother ascended the throne. Eileen knew well it was to use her as a valuable marriage pawn someday, so her frustration with the current situation was not surprising.

Maybe that’s why.

Seeing the man above her, faintly maddened, felt thrilling.

“I want to do it.”

Eileen reached for his neck. His neatly trimmed black hair brushed softly against her fingertips. She wasn’t sure what she wanted exactly, but as her deepest instincts responded, she spoke.

“I’m curious how everyone does it.”

“Ha, Princess, you were born with it.”

“With what?”

“How to drive a man crazy.”

Though short and simple, it was clear the Princess had known how to captivate men since birth.
