Episode 31

But Elisha didn't dig into it.

“Then go to the general's bedroom and rest.”

“So you are here.”

He looked at Elisha with dumbfounded eyes. Elisha's gaze turned to the door where Lucerne entered, which she always locked. The door was slightly open. At first glance……. It led to a wide study. It was a library full of books.

'Ah……. If that library is Lucerne's…….'

A bedroom where her wife's space and her husband's space are connected by doors on both sides. It was just a bedroom for an aristocratic couple. It was unexpected. Even among aristocratic couples, very wealthy couples shared a bedroom.

“Originally, this was my bedroom, and now you are here.”

“In the world, you might call it a couple's bedroom.”

“Why did you ask if you knew it well?”

Lucerne smiled. Elisha felt dizzy in her head. Every night she didn't feel like sharing a bedroom with this man. It was clear that she would be extremely nervous every night.

“Therefore.”

Lucerne whispered.

“Do whatever you do.”

“I was going to wash.”

Lucerne is close. Elisha smelled the refreshing scent of his body. It smelled unexpectedly good for someone who came from a battlefield.

“Then wash.”

It looked like he was going to follow me to the bathroom. Elisha looked at him quietly.

“It's done. It's because I couldn't sleep.”

Elisha's mind was agitated. She might be because Lucerne's condition is strange. He looked languid, but he was a little creepy. He was like a hungry beast. If such a beast hunted, it would be for fun.

“Ah…….”

In an instant, he grabbed his wrist. He gently pulled Elisha. She strained her body. Lucerne laid Elisha on her bed.

Her eyes met. The next moment, her lips parted.

It's cold, it's cold……. Cold…….

As Lucerne rubbed her lips, Elisha's thin upper lip snapped. He had been biting and rubbing her lips only with her lips, then suddenly thrust his tongue into her mouth. Elisha couldn't come to her senses and responded to her tongue. When her lips parted, her eyes were red.

“Your body smells good.”

“Why is it an unexpected compliment?”

“I was wondering where you washed up.”

Freed from her suffocating kisses, Elisha muttered, holding her Lucerne by the shirt collar.

“I'm sorry if you doubted me. I won't commit adultery and your debt will be reduced by 10,000 gold coins.”

“…… I didn't mean that.”

Elisha had a feeling she couldn't tell if she was relieved or disappointed. She was in a strange mood anyway.

“I washed up at the hotel. The victory party is in full swing there. In the garden and inside the hotel, not to mention eating and drinking.”

“…… Can I really leave the soldiers behind?”

“Those who do nonsense like plundering or raping are right away, and I ordered the Sid to come, so it's okay.”

“…….”

What a great person he was. If you just listened to Lucerne, everything in the world was simple.

Lucerne groped Elisha's cheek. His hand slowly came down and traced the curves of Elisha's body.

“Did you practice?”

“…… What practice?”

“Ready to eat my dick through your hole. So it doesn't hurt I won't be able to release it next time, maybe. I'm in a hurry.”

“…… I didn't do that.”

Elisha bit her lip. Lucerne's hand traced the lower part of her lips.

“Don't bite. It's my collateral, so you can't hurt yourself.”

Elisha felt strange. She took birth control pills a week ago. Before Lucerne came, she was imprisoned in this mansion under the pretext of protection. There are many sad things, but the words were spinning in my throat.

'Because we're not like that.'

Elisha calmly organized her thoughts. Now she has no power. She says Lucerne says she has no right to rage.

“Good night. Don't do that You have to go to the gate tomorrow morning. You don't have to greet the soldiers.”

“It should be.”

Lucerne whispered. He unexpectedly lay down next to Elisha. Elisha stunned her body. She staggered and got herself up and sat at the head of her bed. Lucerne laid her head on Elisha's exposed thigh.

'Ah…….'

Elisha stiffened her body.

“You have to sleep for two hours. Otherwise, the imperial family will attack.”

“Why…… Yo. This?”

“Well. Don't think you can put a spoon on her without making a fuss. He said that after posting the news of victory.”

“…… Okay.”

Elisha nodded her head. Lucerne closed her eyes. Elisha was uncomfortable, but didn't pull her body out. She wrapped her tight around the waist of her Elisha in Lucerne, and she couldn't even move.

'This also goes into her wife's duty.'

Then she thought there was nothing she could do. Anyway……. Because he was a man who wandered through the battlefield. If he wanted to, he wanted to make it right.

“Why didn't you let me go out?”

“Ah, that. Do you want to go out?”

Lucerne said in a sleepy voice.

'He must have forgotten what he ordered.'

Elisha immediately noticed his nonchalant tone.

“I thought the war would end soon.”

“-Okay. Then can I go out for a bit tomorrow?”

“It'll be fine in the morning.”

“What do you have in the afternoon?”

“I will eat with you.”

“…….”

Elisha blinked her eyes. Is what I just heard right?

“If you want to propose to a girl, you have to buy a meal.”

“Are you coming now?”

The timing to propose was over in the evening, and she was already married. Elisha said this man even made a joke.

“I'll tell my subordinates about the meeting place. I will escort you, so come out.”

Elisha nodded her head. Then Elisha closed her eyes as she leaned back on her bed.

“Just one more.”

Elisha asked softly.

“I know that the property acquired after marriage is not mine. But if you have money that comes into your hands, can you spend it as you please?”

“Use your pocket money on your own.”

Elisha was relieved.

It was her bizarre first bed. Elisha couldn't sleep even though her eyes were strangely closed due to her pounding heart for no reason. It might have been because of her uncomfortable posture. She leaned back on her bed and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already morning.

The laces of her gown were tightly tied, and a quilt was draped over them. Lucerne was already out of place. Elisha said she felt like she had a dream last night.

*​ *​ *​

The next day the streets were buzzing with news of the victory. The wealthy nobles of the capital held parties big and small here and there using the news of the victory as an excuse.

Restaurants discounted food prices, and alcohol was commonplace on the streets. There was only one woman in tears in the middle of the bustling street.

“Carola is really very upset. Lucerne has become a total war hero. Jacob is great too. Everywhere in the social world people say that Jacob is inferior to Lucerne!”

Carola whined. Carola came from a prestigious family with a long history, next to the Cartier family.

Of course, compared to the Duke of Cartier, who encompasses her world, the age of the artist after full moon is incomparable. Still, except for the Cartier family, it was the most powerful family in the country.

She was a member of the Marquis of Fullmoon and her husband, Carola. When her only daughter, who spends a year and a half with the Duke of Cartier, returns to the capital, the Marquis and the Marquis couple do everything in their hearts.

“Alas, poor Carola.”

When the Marquis of Fullmoon heard her words, she looked upset and was about to die. After the full moon, the small cough cleared, and she comforted Carola.

“Carola, don't cry. It's a small thing. No matter how great the general is, he is, after all, an illegitimate son. Huh? Rather, her father will give her pocket money so she can go shopping. Who the hell has gone against our daughter's planting so much? Huh true.”

“That woman.”

Carola flashed her eyes.

“A woman called Lucerne's new bride. She's such a strange woman. Lucerne is being tricked!”

“Hey, Carola. We can't believe it even after hearing it. Did Lucerne really marry the kind of cloth that did your laundry?”

“Yes, isn't a man like Lucerne really low-key? For such a man……. I'd rather have a girl like Carola…….”

“Carola.”

The eyes of the Marquis Fullmoon became severe. Lucerne was a handsome man who would be able to charm women who saw him once.

She had long wanted to get married to the Duke of Cartier, but because Carola was unreasonably interested in Lucerne, her full moon marquise carried on her hurried marriage talks with Jacob.

It was because, although Lucerne was a great talent, his body would be in jeopardy if Jacob became the next Duke of Cartier. Moreover, for the heiress of the Marquis of Fullmoon, an illegitimate child was an unsuitable marriage.

“Dad. Enough. That girl, Carola, was so good at it, but she fooled my eyes and seduced Lucerne. Carola is so hurt!”

Carola used to have tears in her eyes.

“Hmm. If you're a ruined noble, there's nothing wrong with that. It's the year my child has tears in his eyes, so if I have a chance, I'll have to punish him.”

The Marquis of Fullmoon hugged Carola and patted her.

“Honey is true. What do you need your hands to do to bully a girl like that? That's enough, even our Caroline can solve it quickly. We just need a little help. Yes? How much effort this mother put into Carola's education.”

“That's right. Haha, what matters to a woman. No matter what it is, it is a natural status and dignity. A man also cherishes a woman like that.”

The Marquis of Fullmoon comforted Carola by splashing her saliva.

“I don't know because I haven't seen the girl's face in person. A bitch like that is just a bitch to men, a bitch! Can I compare you?”

Carola felt relieved after her marquis and his wife calmed down for a while.

“Actually, I can think of it.”

“So?”

“Carola, like she kills someone, she's afraid of things like that……. But……. Didn't she have something to do with Carol as well? If she retaliates a little……. She's such a woman, she might get divorced soon. She probably didn't marry because she really loved her anyway.”

“Then. You are right. Carola. What can we do?”

“So that's the point. Dad. Please save a few people. I want to surprise Jacob with this one by myself. Because her husband's insult is no different from mine.”

“Okay. This level of work needs to be handled neatly to earn points for her husband.”

As if proud of her, the Marquis of Fullmoon nodded her head. It was then. A servant came in with a note from her. Carola, reading the note, blinked her eyes.

“What is it about?”

“It's a note from Jacob's spies. I must hurry. The bitch finally moved. While Lucerne was out on the battlefield, she was stuck inside the house, so I didn't get a chance.”

“…….”

“Today is the day.”

Marquis Fullmoon nodded her head.

“So what should I do?”

“You said you could mobilize people right away, right?”

“Then. Right now, if I send a single note, several men can be mobilized in 30 minutes.”

She smiled, with her face looking so innocent that Carola looked. She had only asked the Marquis of Fullmoon a very easy favor.
