The reception was over.
Tired of talking and dealing with people during the reception, I made an effort to remove the necklace around my neck.
If it were original, the maids would have done it for , but today was the first day of the wedding. yer and I were alone in the new room.
I tried many tis, but could not get it to go as I wished. I gave up imdiately and plopped down on the sofa. My heart wanted to get rid of it, but I couldn’t bring myself to do it, considering the price.
yer ca up to , lifted my hair, and took off the necklace.
His big, thick fingertips grazed the back of my neck. yer’s whispering tongue tickled my side.
“You should’ve told in advance.”
“I’m a little embarrassed.”
“Why are you embarrassed about taking off your necklace?”
“…”
It was kind of like an on to take off my clothes.
But I just couldn’t say it that way, my throat was blocked.
I’m worried about Sevi’s saying that he was checking the number of holy water…
What on earth is there to drink holy water on your wedding night? If I’m going to drink holy water, I’m going to drink it, and what the hell am I going to do with it?
I swallowed my spit.
It wasn’t that I never thought about the first night. I’ve prepared my own mind… It was a good idea to take asures just in case.
‘I think it’s too much, but… As expected, there’s no need to worry.’
A tension I was not aware of until the reception tightened around my neck.
He wandered on my bare skin, wondering if he realized the reason why I was ashad, and yer’s hand, which took off my necklace, hesitated what to do after that.
I moistened my dry lips with my tongue. My nerves were on edge as I concentrated on his hand on my back.
Did he accept my silence as permission? Gathering his courage, his hand went cautiously to the strings that tied my dress. The dress, which I could not put a price on the layers, fell to the bottom like a scattering of peony petals one by one.
His hot breath on my neck. His breathing, which was sowhat rough, perhaps from nervousness, sounded particularly loud in my ears.
I tried to stay as calm as possible, but it was not easy. yer couldn’t stand it either, and he just laid down on the sofa and draped himself over . We’re in trouble here. I said in a panic.
“L-let’s go to the bed.”
As soon as my words fell, yer lifted up and took to bed. The view went round and round.
“Jun…”
yer ca up on top of , trapping in. It was dark for a mont as his huge body blocked on all sides.
“Finally… I can hardly believe it.”
yer rubbed his lips lightly on my cheek several tis and murmured softly. He was so moved that his voice, speaking alone, was full of emotion.
yer’s hand carefully touched my hip. I could feel from his fingertips that he was concerned that if he put the slightest pressure on his hand that it would break, as if thin glass.
The hand that reached was hot. I let out a breath.
My head felt foggy. I wanted to throw reason away like sand being swept away by a wave, but that was not possible.
I finally opened my mouth before I could think rationally any longer.
“yer, I know it’s obvious, but I’m just asking, just in case… It’s your first ti, right?”
yer’s body stiffened. He had been clinging to , but he raised his body and frowned. The look in his eyes was full of frustration.
“… Do you think it’s not my first ti? That comnt just now was very unpleasant.”
“I know, but I asked just in case.”
“But why are you asking that?”
“Um…”
I muffled my words with an awkward laugh. yer sighed, and then he raised his body, raising his dark eyebrows as if he really had to say a word.
“Like when you kissed the first ti, you keep making people…”
Click.
The sound of a tal lock closing snapped off yer’s words with a light heart.
“Phew.”
The handcuffs hidden behind the pillow were safely put on yer.
Given his ridiculous stats, it was impossible with my reflexes in the first place. I only hoped that yer was caught off guard since it was the first night, but fortunately, it flowed as expected.
I crossed one of the big mountains first, still breathing out and wiping the sweat off my face. yer, who had no idea why looked at in a daze.
“Jun? What the hell is this…”
“In fact, I thought I might die if the Commander went crazy.”
“But to handcuff a person!”
yer angrily tugged at his hands. I was worried that it might break for a mont, but the chain was stronger than I thought.
If it had been a diocre chain, it would have snapped like a piece of thread at once, but knowing yer’s power figures, there was no way I could have found such a crude device.
I asked Vince to raid the secret warehouse of Grand Duke Knox and barely saved a flail artifact for the cavalry.
The blacksmith separated the long chain part and asked a master craftsman to modify it, which made it quite well made, even with a ticulous eye.
‘It even beca a new artifact, and there was a status debuff effect.’
Strength stats reduced by 20%. yer’s 20% reduction in power does not change the fact that he is the strongest of mankind, but I don’t know how pleased he would be with that nurical adjustnt.
The master craftsman was frustrated for a while that the first artifact he created was a handcuff, not a sword, spear, or shield, but he quickly recovered his spirits positively, wondering how many blacksmiths would try to create even one artifact in their lifeti.
Of course, even though it was an amazing artifact, it should not be a job for yer to break the chain if he wanted to.
But he chose to seek my consent.
“Undo this, Jun. I had everything in my mind.”
I shook my head firmly at the words handed with a sigh.
“Mind? Preparing holy water? How on earth were you going to overwork !”
“It’s not for you!”
yer countered. Recently, he changed the title to you[1], but when he got a little excited, the old title ca out automatically.
“Then what were you going to use it for?”
“…”
yer did not answer easily and kept his mouth shut. He was not a man who would lie to absolve himself of a situation, so perhaps the story that he wasn’t trying to use it for is true…
“I know my strength and stamina. I also have in mind the possibility that I may not have the self-control to protect my reason. So…”
yer mumbled.
No way. I recalled one hypothesis that had crossed my mind. The reason I didn’t think of this first was because I thought, “No way,” even though it was our wedding night.
I exclaid in surprise.
“Don’t tell you were going to self-harm?!”
“Self-harm, you’re exaggerating. It’s just proper physical control…”
“Proper! I don’t want to spend the first night on a bloody sheet!”
“Is it okay to have the first night in a chain?”
“It’s okay because it’s included in a kind of fetish.”
“You’re making no sense!”
yer shouted loudly. As such, we remained facing each other for a while.
On the other hand, I was concerned about his body temperature, which was touching all the ti. It was hot, as if his warmth had burned into my body.
First of all… We can’t just keep doing this for now.
From the looks of it, it doesn’t look like he’s trying to force the handcuffs off…
I’ll try to coax him a little bit more. I climbed up on top of yer’s body with a sly smile on my face. As I did so, I whispered a small kiss on his cheek, just as he had done earlier.
“Just hang in there. I’ll do my best.”
“Why are you being nice to … Wait, Jun Liteitia. Why do you look so used to it…”
“Co on, that’s not the point.”
“What do you an that’s not the…”
I closed my mouth around yer’s chattering lips. His complaints, which he had spouted earlier, quieted like a demon.
I kissed him, rubbed my firm body against his and put my hand down.
I think he’s around here sowhere. But I didn’t catch him where I thought he was.
Then sothing heavy and thick arrived in my hand. I traced it again and again.
anwhile, yer gasped and gritted his teeth, looking at as if to swallow with eyes full of lust and jealousy.
“You must tell at the end of the day. You surely had other n in your life besides , didn’t you? You keep avoiding my words…!”
But his words entered one ear and slipped out the other. It was because I was so embarrassed by what I said that I didn’t have ti to concentrate on what yer said.
It was only then that I could see why yer had to defend his right-hand leg so far.
So… I was embarrassed.
‘The bottom of the final boss is also the final boss…’
I swallowed a groan that I didn’t know whether it was sighing or exclamation.
But it was a multi-tiered, no, a gigantic-tiered.
Isn’t it the sa as shouting that there’s nothing good about growing up, that’s sour grapes?
‘Self-justification of soone who hasn’t had a big one.’
… Maybe it’s who is self-justifying.
However, a woman has pride, and she has stepped forward confidently, and she can’t bite the bullet now after having embarked on a confident ride.
Okay. The day would never co in this lifeti that I would face anything other than yer anyway. Not wanting to cause an innocent death, I was determined to do so.
The ti for another battle awaited .
1. (T/N: yer calls Jun 그대, he used to call her 자네. Both translate to “you” in English so it’s difficult to properly express. 자네 is used by older both n and won (50 years old and above usually, and mostly n) towards younger people, mostly n. 그대 is often used poetically and in song lyrics used towards an intimate subject (for example one’s girlfriend.)
