Three whole months. That’s how long I maintained radio silence in response to Thadeus’s proposal.

At first, he’d subtly press me about when I’d give him an answer, but once he realized I had no intention of responding immediately, he’d fluctuate several times a day—laughing one moment, then suddenly turning gloomy.

At some point, his mood improved noticeably, so I thought he’d finally gotten over it. But a month later, people from Thadeus’s knight order came looking for me. They clung to me and pleaded.

“P-please… I’m begging you. That mad dog…! N-no… please stop the Deputy Commander…!”

It was the first time I’d seen grown, burly adult men trembling in such terror. Honestly, I wanted to make Thadeus suffer a bit longer, but I worried that if I delayed any further, those people—and Thadeus himself—might lose their minds.

“Alright, let’s do it.”

“What?”

“Let’s skip the engagement and go straight to marriage.”

What was Thadeus’s expression like then? 

His eyes shook wildly, like he couldn’t believe it. He looked like someone holding back tears. His voice, pressed down tight, held so many things that didn’t need to be said.

“I’ll do well, Clea. Living together, I’ll repay everything I couldn’t give you all this time.”

We held our wedding on an autumn day when the sunlight was as warm as spring. Countless people came to the wedding. 

Most were nobles wanting to establish connections with Thadeus and people from the Imperial Knight Order, but his friend Schwein and my friend Luina were there too.

Whenever I tried to greet Schwein, Thadeus would notice like a ghost and interfere. Even from far away, he’d rush over with hawk eyes to block the space between Schwein and me, or throw Schwein as prey to nobles who were constantly watching for opportunities.

“Th-Thadeus…!”

After this happened several times, Schwein looked at me with pleading eyes. But unfortunately, I had to pretend not to notice because of Thadeus glaring like a beast beside me.

‘My condolences to Lord Schwein for choosing the wrong friend…’

Luina met me just before the wedding ceremony and cried buckets then. I hadn’t known, but apparently she’d been very worried about the magic side effects. I heard she’d also blamed herself for how I’d become darker than before after things ended badly with Thadeus.

“Luina, it’s all thanks to you. Without you, I wouldn’t have known this happiness.”

“Sniff, Clea… You’re so beautiful. Really beautiful. You have to be happy forever. If your husband doesn’t treat you well, tell me. I’ll secretly curse him so all his hair falls out.”

One piece of good news was that after Luina succeeded with the nullification magic, the Magic Tower came looking for her. She didn’t demonstrate the nullification magic in front of them, but apparently that incident caused her suppressed magical power to grow several levels.

They said magical power surged just being near Luina or something. Of course, the Magic Tower, which valued orthodoxy, strongly opposed accepting her—a commoner who hadn’t even attended the academy.

However, the mage from the Magic Tower famous for being eccentric happened to be a genius who appears maybe once every few centuries, and he coveted Luina. 

When he made the bombshell declaration that he’d leave the Magic Tower if he couldn’t take her as his assistant, they seemed to have come reluctantly, forced to swallow their pride.

“Yeah, thank you so much. If Thadeus does anything wrong, I’ll tattle to you right away. Make sure to pluck out every last hair, not leaving a single strand.”

“Trust me! I may not look it, but I’m the one and only apprentice to Archmage Haliven!”

Thadeus and I made our vows of love surrounded by many people’s blessings. My parents who’d raised me with love, precious Rachel who’d always stayed by my side, and even Schwein and Luina who’d become the connecting link of love.

I was happier because everyone was there together. My parents sniffled looking at me, and Rachel closed her eyes tightly, wishing for my happiness. Schwein watched us with a bright smile like sunshine, and Luina was smiling with puffy eyes.

Because they existed, I existed now and could be grateful for this moment. And I became the happiest bride in the world.

* * *

After the wedding ended, the long-awaited first night arrived. Actually, Thadeus and I hadn’t only exchanged innocent love during that time. We’d done all sorts of things that would shock people if they knew, like I’d become a lewd seductress.

So I worried about what to prepare. Today was a special first night, and I wanted to create an unforgettable night for him.

‘He’ll like this, right?’

I finished preparing while Thadeus went to wash. Doing something like this was also a first for me, so my heart pounded. I took two deep breaths before he came and turned off the lights. 

Then I left only one very dim lamp and hid my body under the blanket.

Before long, Thadeus returned to the room after washing. He seemed puzzled by the darkened room.

“Clea?”

“I’m… here.”

I hid under the blanket with just my head peeking out. He smiled softly and approached me.

“What are you doing?”

I counted one, two, three in my mind and threw off the blanket wrapped tightly around me. His approaching expression froze solid. His voice came out fierce.

“What kind of joke is this?”

‘Did I guess wrong?’

It was back when I’d transformed into a flying squirrel and entered Schwein’s estate. I’d disguised myself as a maid to escape the estate, and Thadeus couldn’t take his eyes off me in the maid outfit with an impatient expression.

His eyes showed he wanted me right then. If it were now, he wouldn’t have been able to hold back and would have taken me on the spot. That face was quite impressive, so I still haven’t forgotten it.

‘I prepared so hard…’

My shoulders drooped in disappointment when something strange entered my view. His very honest lower half was swollen unnaturally large. Looking now, he wasn’t angry but seemed to be reacting this way from bewilderment.

Thadeus, whose eyes met mine, walked over with urgent steps. His fierce momentum suggested he’d devour me right then. The moment he climbed on top of me to kiss me, I pushed Thadeus away.

“No!”

“Why not? You’re mine.”

His face looked aggrieved to the point of anger. His expression, tinged with impatience, was riddled with boiling l*st. He looked like an impatient puppy with prey in front of it, almost making me laugh.

“You’re a slave today and I’m the master.”

“While wearing a maid outfit?”

“Yes. So you have to listen to me.”

“…That sounds kind of fun.”

A strange anticipation appeared in his black eyes. He showed a languid smile and leaned back against the bed. Through his loosely open robe, his firm abs and picture-perfect chest were revealed.

“Go ahead and try.”

I didn’t like that provocative gaze. I was clearly the master, but somehow the situation felt reversed.

‘This won’t do. I need to show the master’s dignity!’

When I tried to climb on top of Thadeus’s body, his hands naturally grabbed my slender waist. I slapped Thadeus’s hands down.

“Where does a slave think he’s touching his master’s body?”

“Then?”

“Don’t touch and stay still!”

He laughed like it was amusing. He still looked full of composure. I took out the cord I’d prepared in advance from the drawer and brought it to Thadeus’s wrists.

“Ill-mannered slaves need to be punished.”

Tying the cord was harder than I thought. Just when I thought I’d tied it, it would come loose, and even when I barely managed to tie it, Thadeus looked uncomfortable. After struggling for a while, an impatient voice came.

“Just say it’s roughly tied.”

“I can’t do that.”

After painstaking effort, I finally succeeded. I checked the knot several times to make sure it was okay. Then I undid the robe that had been precariously covering his important parts. His beautiful n*ked body was revealed.

My mouth went dry. It felt like hot blood was rushing to my face. I took in his body with my eyes, savoring it, then climbed on top.

Thadeus, with his wrists bound, smiled with a thirsty face. With the most seductive expression I could manage, I gently stroked his firm chest with my hand.

“Ngh…!”

Even though it was nothing, a suppressed moan leaked out. I gained a little confidence.

‘Maybe I’m actually really good at this?’

This time I touched his body more boldly. I tasted his n*pples that stood hard, licking them. Every time my tongue brushed the sensitive peak, Thadeus’s body trembled.

While rubbing his n*pple with my lips, I touched his fierce flesh pillar with my hand. Just my hand touching it made it twitch and swell taut. The dark red flesh was nothing short of vicious.

‘This huge thing goes inside me?’

Even though I was touching it with my own hands, I couldn’t believe it. Maybe it’s amazing I haven’t been torn apart. As I touched it here and there out of curiosity, a voice that sounded breathless came.

“Clea, stop touching now…”

“Shh. Be quiet. I’ll do what I want.”

I slapped Thadeus’s chest. His fully swollen member spurted transparent fluid. It was different from the thin milky liquid I’d seen before. At the unfamiliar sight, I rubbed the tip where the fluid flowed with my finger.

“Haa…”

He exhaled a rough breath. After playing with my hands a bit more, this time I gently rolled it with my tongue. It tasted somehow naughty, like Thadeus. I took it fully in my mouth then pulled it out, and licked it like tasting sweet cream.

By that point, Thadeus seemed on the verge of going crazy. He kept trembling and squeezed his eyes shut like he was enduring pain. Panting with a completely flushed face, he let out a hollow laugh.

“Haa, ngh…! If this is t*rture, haa… I’ll confess everything I know.”

Tears slightly formed in his reddened eyes. A sense of immorality and pity rose simultaneously at his somehow forlorn atmosphere. I wanted to torment him more while also wanting to relieve his l*st so he wouldn’t suffer. Conflicting thoughts left me confused.

‘Have I really become a pervert now?’

No matter how long I pondered, no winner was decided. Since it came to this, I could torment Thadeus while simultaneously relieving his l*st.

“I’m a kind-hearted master. I’ll show mercy.”

Then I gently stroked his tautly er*ect member. After watching it twitch, covered in fluid, I climbed on top. Fortunately, my insides were also thoroughly wet from watching Thadeus sob.

‘This much shouldn’t hurt, right?’

I checked the position one last time and gently pushed his thing between the narrow gap. Even though we’d mixed bodies countless times, it was always difficult to insert at first.

“Ngh…!”

Even just inserting the tip, the huge pillar pressed tightly against my inner walls. Could I even insert it all the way? 

When I held my breath and gently swayed my hips, bloodshot eyes turned to me. Thadeus asked, chewing on a suppressed moan.

“Help?”

“N-no! I’ll do it myself.”

I tried moving up and down and swaying my hips more passionately. But only half had entered. My whole body was soaked with sweat and tired, and it was hard to properly control my body from the pleasure stabbing inside.

“Ngh, hnn, aah…!”

As I exhaled rough breaths, Thadeus’s eyes I met were burning with l*st.

“You just asked for help.”

“When did I…?”

“With your eyes.”

Thadeus easily snapped the cord I’d tied tightly. No preparation was needed. Like he’d never been bound from the start, when he spread his wrists, it snapped with a crack.

“So was it fun?”

His eyes asking back were somehow strange. Though he was often like this, this time his gaze truly seemed unhinged.

“Th-Thadeus?”

This is really dangerous. I hurriedly tried to escape the strangely turning situation. But before I could even pull out his thing I’d been holding, Thadeus caught me.

“Where do you think you’re going?”

He grabbed my waist and pressed down. The flesh that had stopped in the middle of the pillar slowly began descending.

“Haah…!”

As it scraped against my inner walls with full friction, chilling pleasure rushed in. The eyes I met were frightening.

“After teasing my body like that.”

At the same time, the corners of his mouth were smiling. Far from being angry, he was completely aroused by this situation. 

My body trembled finely. Even when his mind was intact normally, he’d torment me until I was a complete mess. How far would he push me to the limit today?

‘What have I done…!’

I tried to salvage this situation even now. I carefully spoke while watching his mood.

“Thadeus. I… went too far, right? Let’s calm down for a moment…”

“No, it was really good.”

“Ngh…?”

“So now I’m going to teach you this pleasure too, Clea.”

Those words somehow sounded like he’d push me to the brink of death today.

“I think I’m fine now…”

“No, that can’t be. A slave should serve their master according to their duty.”

Thadeus removed the apron I’d been wearing and wrapped it around my wrists. When my hands tied behind me couldn’t move at all, I felt afraid.

“U-untie this…!”

“Why? It looks good.”

He grabbed my waist and thrust. The thick pillar lodged in the narrow gap stabbed deep inside. Each time it thrust in, I felt like I’d lose my mind to the terrible pleasure.

“Hngh, ngh, aah, hnn…!”

He seemed to have no intention of hiding his rising l*st. His face, stained with lewdness in the descending darkness, observed me. 

Then suddenly he tore my top. Both sides of my chest were fully exposed, bouncing each time he thrust into me. Being treated like this with both hands bound made me want to cry.

“This look suits our master much better.”

Thadeus increased the speed of his thrusting even more. The flesh thoroughly soaked with fluid was slippery, so the more I writhed, the more it pushed in to the thick root.

It was truly an overwhelming size. If this continued, I felt like I’d go crazy. But that didn’t mean I could easily escape. The more I struggled, the more it stimulated the inside, bringing greater pleasure.

“Aah, hngh, ah…!”

“When you cry so prettily, it makes me want to lock you in the room all day and torment you.”

With a languid smile, Thadeus rubbed my cl*toris. His flowing words glistened with lewd possessiveness.

“In ways those other bastards couldn’t even imagine.”

The insertion alone was hard to handle, but when my cl*toris was stimulated too, extreme pleasure consumed my whole body. Deep inside boiled like lava, unbearable.

“Aah…! That, hngh, ah, no…!”

When I cried and bucked my hips, Thadeus thrust his c*ck up fiercely while flicking his finger rapidly. When the swollen bud was mercilessly crushed, my head went white.

“So how does it feel to cry with a vulgar slave’s c*ck stuck in you?”

“Ngh, g-good…! So good, haah! I’m going crazy…!”

“My lovely Clea. You always drive me crazy.”

Through my blurred vision, I saw black eyes sweetly wet. With that as the last thing, the joining was mercilessly stirred.

“Ngh… ah, ah, ngh…! Haaah!”

At the hip thrusts that continued without knowing limits, extreme climax rose thickly up my spine. I couldn’t breathe. It was pleasure that struck like a storm. My thighs trembled and my fingers and toes curled.

“Aah, ngh, hngh, ah…!”

Thadeus also couldn’t endure the rising urge to ej*culate and spurted hot seed deep inside.

“Ngh…!”

Thadeus carefully laid me, panting in waves of pleasure, on the bed. He also untied the apron that had been wrapped around my wrists. He swept back my sweat-soaked hair and whispered love.

A hot kiss followed and our eyes met once more. Flames leaped from our gazes. After that, we mixed bodies countless times. We craved each other again and again. 

Like that, we desired each other like this moment was the last, and only then fell asleep.

* * *

The brightly shining sunlight was dazzling. When I opened my heavy eyes, it was already bright afternoon outside the window. Thadeus, awake from sleep, was quietly watching me.

“What? Why are you doing that…?”

This was the first time spending the morning together since becoming husband and wife. I covered my face with the blanket from inexplicable embarrassment. 

But Thadeus removed the blanket and showered me with kisses. It was an indiscriminate attack. It continued without distinction on my forehead, cheeks, and lips.

“Why, why are you doing this…!”

“Because you’re so pretty.”

Thadeus, who couldn’t express his honest feelings, now had such words naturally attached to his lips. 

Though it was still difficult to show his complete heart, he said he’d decided he needed to change after nearly never seeing me again.

I was still unfamiliar with this side of Thadeus. It seemed like just yesterday we were growling at each other. To be married and spending the morning together. It was still an unbelievable fact.

Then Thadeus, who’d stopped the kiss shower, smiled prettily. Then he looked at me and whispered sweet words.

“I love you.”

Words filled with love were exactly like magic. They made my heart tickle while simultaneously making me feel happy. Thadeus, who’d confessed his love, stared intently at me like he was waiting for certain words. I laughed at that sight.

“I love you too, Thadeus.”

Though his love like this might sometimes be overwhelming, even in those moments I’ll probably be smiling. Watching unchanging Thadeus, I’ll be happier than anyone in the love we create together. 

I was already looking forward to what today spent with him would be like.
