Episode 28
Sid’s fingertips slowly brushed my eyes.
“Looking at me with those eyes, you said you only needed me at the wedding.”
“…….”
“With these lips.”
Our lips met again with a wet sound.
“That’s… what you call seduction?”
“I couldn’t resist.”
Sid lazily raised his red, wet lips.
“Should I resist?”
The moment his low whisper burrowed into my ear, it felt like the reason in my head snapped.
Thump!
In an instant, our positions reversed, and Sid’s back was pushed against the carriage seat.
The carriage shook, and a dull sound echoed inside the small space.
A faint thought crossed my mind that the coachman might find it strange.
But the next moment, that thought vanished.
“My Lady.”
Sid whispered from beneath me.
The collar of his shirt, disheveled by our rough movements, revealed his collarbone and firm pectoral muscles.
Hair disheveled.
Rough breaths.
Violet eyes desiring me.
“Sid.”
I was drawn in as if by a spell, and I lowered myself.
Swish, the hem of my dress covered Sid’s legs.
I pressed my finger against Sid’s approaching lips and whispered.
“Be quiet.”
“…….”
“Because I keep getting bewitched when I hear your voice.”
Sid’s voice must have magic in it.
Like a siren who lured sailors into the sea with her seductive voice.
When I hear Sid’s voice, my head spins.
Reason disappears, and only impulse remains, so I sink straight into that distant violet sea-
“Ah!”
I was startled by the sudden hot, wet sensation enveloping my finger.
A red tongue wrapped around the tip of my finger that was pressing against his lips.
“Wait a minute…….”
As our eyes met, his eyes narrowed slightly before he swallowed it completely.
“Ah, Sid, stop-”
“…….”
“Hmph, Sid.”
“…….”
His lips, which had been swallowing and brushing against my trembling fingertip, gradually moved higher.
Passing each knuckle, brushing the hollow of my palm, and higher still.
Sid deeply sucked on the tender skin inside my wrist, where my pulse beat, and looked up at me.
“……Sid.”
At the wet, resentful voice, Sid finally opened his mouth.
“You told me not to talk, didn’t you?”
His wet lips drew a mischievous curve.
“I have to follow my master’s orders.”
I turned my hand over and grabbed Sid’s chin.
And then I overlapped my lips with his.
“Hah…….”
Rough breaths mingled hotly.
In the brief moment when our lips parted, Sid whispered.
“But are you only bewitched by my voice?”
“What?”
“I get turned on just by looking at the tip of your toes, My Lady.”
His dark gaze was directed at my toes, which were revealed as the hem of my dress twisted.
“You’re really-”
I couldn’t finish my sentence.
Before I knew it, Sid, who was caressing my feet, kissed the white instep.
* * *
The carriage door opened silently.
As I stepped out of the carriage with Sid’s escort, I glanced at the coachman.
‘Surely the coachman didn’t notice what happened inside.’
My carriages are all enchanted with Azl’s spirit magic.
Since I often discuss business matters inside, Azl wraps the carriage in water to prevent sound from escaping.
‘But even for safety, he probably didn’t block out loud noises.’
I was bothered by the thumping sound that occurred when I lost my mind and pushed Sid.
The carriage shook on a flat road, so the experienced coachman must have noticed something…
“Are you anxious?”
“Of course!”
At Sid’s question, I shouted in a lowered voice.
Even though I had my first kiss broadcasted in front of others, embarrassment was still embarrassment.
‘What if rumors spread that they only kiss when they’re alone~’
No, what if it gets out that the urgent matter that made the Emperor rush out was just kissing…
The coachman’s smile as he looked at me was very suspicious.
‘Was there a female lead with the ability to erase memories?’
As I was thinking that and looking at the coachman, my vision suddenly blurred.
“……?”
“I feel bad.”
Sid looked at me with a sulky face.
“How can you look at another man with such passionate eyes?”
“What?”
“Another man is openly smiling and flirting with you.”
I was dumbfounded.
The coachman was someone who had worked for me since I was young, an old man who showed off a shiny bald spot as much as his experience.
“Womanizer.”
“……Huh.”
I sighed in disbelief, and then I saw the coachman greeting me and getting back into the carriage.
“You’re still worried about another man.”
“No, it’s not that I’m worried about another man, it’s that…….”
“Don’t worry about it.”
Sid whispered as he pulled me into his arms.
“I wouldn’t let another man hear My Lady’s voice. It’s too precious even for me to hear.”
With those words, the thin film that had been covering the carriage shattered.
No, not a film-
“……Ice?”
Ice so thin that it was barely visible had been covering the carriage.
The only person who could do something like this was-.
“You should have told me sooner! I was so worried……!”
“I was so amused by My Lady, who was anxious about being heard the whole way here but eventually succumbed to desire.”
“…….”
‘Didn’t I end up marrying a man with slightly dangerous tastes?’
I looked at Sid with a dubious feeling.
Sid smiled.
His eyes curved languidly, and the corners of his lips turned up sexily.
“…….”
Maybe it doesn’t matter if Sid has slightly dangerous tastes.
Because.
‘I have even more dangerous tastes.’
Hmm hmm.
That’s how it happened.
* * *
At that moment.
There was a gaze watching Luatisha and Sidrian getting out of the carriage.
A sharp and fierce gaze, like an assassin watching a target.
Before the owner of that gaze, masked subordinates were prostrated.
They opened their mouths with determination.
“The Empress has completed preparations so that the ceremony can be held as early as tomorrow!”
“Unfortunately, as a result of the confirmation, there were no flaws.”
“……Are you sure?”
“We risked the honor of WBD [World Best Daughter-in-law a.k.a Our Daughter-in-law Escort Team] to carefully examine even the dust on the window frames.”
“We risked the name of SSS [Super Granddaughter-in-law Princess News a.k.a My Money My Hand Your Neck My Hand Petite Cutie Pretty Our Youngest Granddaughter-in-law Princess TMI Team] to meticulously examine even a single stitch of the dress.”
That’s right.
The masked men’s identities were Sandra and Freesia from WBD and SSS.
“……Lulu is?”
The two people’s faces clouded over at the owner’s question.
“She didn’t seem to dislike it.”
“…….”
The temperature inside the room dropped even further.
Sandra, who was watching, opened her mouth.
“There is unexpected news. The Emperor said he would abdicate, but the target refused.”
“Refuse to abdicate?”
“Yes.”
“The reason?”
“……That is, to enjoy their honeymoon…….”
“They are planning to go on their honeymoon for a year.”
Crash! Crack! Snap! Thump!
Sounds of something breaking echoed throughout the room.
Objects inside the room turned to dust and scattered from the hands of Paeraton’s three sons and the Paeraton Duke.
“Oh, to enjoy… their honeymoon?”
“They’re going on their honeymoon for a year?”
“……I can’t live without my youngest.”
At his sons’ words, the Paeraton Duke’s eyes darkened.
“I can’t see my daughter for a year.”
How bleak was the Duke’s castle without his youngest daughter?
Even when he left for a few days to vacation in the south, it was like hell.
The Paeraton Duke, unable to contain his emotions, was about to get up from his seat.
“What are you going to do?”
The Tarenka Marquis’s voice grabbed his ankle.
“Opposing the marriage and threatening Sidrian will only lead to elopement.”
“Elopement? My daughter would never-.”
“I know my granddaughter well. She has the same personality as my daughter.”
The Tarenka Marquis’s blue eyes shone sharply.
“And you know better than anyone what happened when I opposed my daughter’s marriage, right?”
“…….”
At his stern father-in-law’s words, the Paeraton Duke had no choice but to shut his mouth and sit down.
“Anyway, it’s not like you don’t recognize that guy as your son-in-law, right?”
“……I think he’s the best match for my daughter, but.”
The Paeraton Duke recalled the events of several years ago.
Sidrian’s back as he headed to the gate several times to save Luatisha, who had been sucked into the Demon World.
Even when his flesh was torn and his bones were exposed, he continued to approach the gate with a face that felt no pain or suffering.
In the end, he entered the gate and remained in the Demon World in place of Luatisha.
Unlike himself, who couldn’t enter the gate no matter what he tried.
‘……I had no choice but to admit it.’
Sidrian, who returned after several years, was the same as ever.
He still only looked at Luatisha and lived only for Luatisha.
When I think about the hardships Sidrian went through with his in-laws…
‘……To think he would do it all with a smile.’
The Paeraton Duke and the Paeraton sons were also accepting Sidrian at heart.
That’s why they unknowingly sided with Sidrian when the butterfly was scheming.
However, now that the time has come for them to actually get married, a father with a daughter’s heart is…
“My daughter is too innocent and pure. That guy acts like a fox.”
“Certainly, our youngest granddaughter-in-law is innocent. Then how about we check it out?”
At the Tarenka Marquis’s words, the Paeraton men raised their heads.
“There is a way to find out about human nature.”
* * *
Sidrian silently scanned the table with his eyes.
Liquor known for its potency was piled up like a mountain.
And in front of it-.
“Drink.”
The Paeraton Duke, the three sons, and the Tarenka Marquis were standing firm like mountains.
Sidrian downed the liquor without a word.
It felt like his esophagus was burning, and he couldn’t tell if it was alcohol or poison.
But.
“I am not intoxicated by such things.”
Thanks to being born with the ability of poison, he had never been drunk before.
How could alcohol work on a body that is immune to poison?
“But I can get drunk.”
Clack.
Zeon Paeraton placed a glass of liquor in front of Sidrian and said.
“Right, Your Highness’s ability can release abilities, right?”
Clack.
This time, Ares Paeraton placed a glass of liquor.
“Why, are you scared?”
Clack.
Ixion Paeraton smiled as he placed a glass of liquor.
“…….”
Sid looked at his brothers-in-law with a blank face and downed all three glasses.
.
.
Like that, three glasses, six glasses, thirty glasses.
Liquor was constantly being poured.
“……Did I, tell you?”
Sidrian said with a perfectly fine face.
“My My Lady is the prettiest in the world…….”
“…….”
“She’s really pretty.”
“…….”
“She’s so cute.”
“…….”
“Did I, tell you?”
“…….”
“My My Lady is the prettiest in the world…….”
Luatisha’s family looked at Sidrian with cold eyes.
His pronunciation was accurate, his posture was upright, and only his face was slightly flushed, but…
‘This guy is completely drunk?’
He had been repeating the same words over and over again since earlier.
That’s right.
Sidrian was drunk for the first time in his life.
“She’s really pretty. She’s so cute.”
Sidrian, who now poured the liquor himself without being given it, muttered again.
“Her toes are cute too…….”
The brothers, who had been ignoring the dozens of repeated words, paused.
“What?”
“How did this guy even see the cotton ball toes?!”
“He’s finally revealing his true nature.”
At Zeon’s words, Ixion tilted his head.
“But that true nature is just adoring the cotton ball from head to toe, right……?”
“……That’s true.”
The three sons, feeling a slight unease, turned their gaze to the Paeraton Duke.
Unlike the Tarenka Marquis and the three sons, the Paeraton Duke had been silent since earlier.
He tilted his glass and opened his mouth, listening silently to Sidrian’s words.
“……I wasn’t there for that child when she needed me the most.”
When Luatisha was having the hardest time.
When she missed her family the most.
When she doubted herself, not even knowing her name or age, and wondering if she had been abandoned.
At that moment, he was not by her side.
“Even after several years…… Even now, more than a dozen years later, that is what I regret the most.”
The Paeraton Duke’s expression as he said that was one that Sidrian had never seen before.
The Paeraton Duke raised the corners of his lips.
“Perhaps this pain will not change until I die.”
A regret that was more than just words, engraved in his bones and heart.
“So Sidrian.”
“…….”
“Always be by my daughter’s side.”
Sidrian looked at the face of his father-in-law, who was entrusting his daughter to him, with serious eyes.
Soon, his lips opened.
“Did I, tell you?”
“…….”
“My My Lady is the prettiest in the world…….”
“…….”
The five men’s faces contorted.
Wrong, this guy.
A hopeless Lulu-lover.
‘No, is it not wrong?’
* * *
Before the wedding, there were mountains of things I had to prepare as the bride.
Especially-
’19+ novels!’ [Novels with mature content]
I clenched my fist.
‘Just because I have a million cash doesn’t mean I can waste it.’
I had already experienced it in my previous life.
I had only read a few novels, but when I came to my senses, all the cash had disappeared in an instant.
‘When I checked the cash history because it was strange, it turned out that I had spent it all.’
I won’t make the same mistake this time!
I will summon carefully selected works in a meticulous and planned manner!
[If you were this diligent when doing quests…….]
I lightly ignored the demon’s grumbling.
I hurried to my room when something caught my eye.
‘Cheria……?’
Cheria was enjoying refreshments in the lounge.
With a book in her hand!
‘Come to think of it, she’s been carrying that book around lately, hasn’t she?’
Could she be filming ‘The Return of Clatie 2’?!?
I quickly approached Cheria.
“What’s that book you have?”
“Huh? Wait a minute. D, don’t look!”
Saying not to look made it even more suspicious.
I quickly snatched the book from Cheria’s hand.
And.
His lips dug deeper into hers.
Unable to resist the dizzying sensation, she wrapped her fingers around his hair.
……Huh?
“Wh, wh, what is this…….”
I muttered like that and quickly flipped through the pages.
What is this? I can’t stop?
“Wait a minute. Wow, is the sister-in-law seducing the male lead?!”
What is this spicy novel with a crazy level of spiciness?!
I looked at Cheria, and she said with a shy face.
“Th, the novel I wrote…….”
I looked at Cheria with dazed eyes and grabbed her hand tightly.
“Author-nim [term of respect for an author]……!”
I found it, the writer of my 19+ novel.
