Sweet Weekend #6
“Ah…”
When I woke up in the morning and saw Lucian lying right beside me, I had endured so much difficulty quietly crying. Just in case he heard my sobs, I quickly wiped my tears and got up from the bed.
The scenes I had dreamed of, dreamed of, and dreamed of again were unfolding right in front of me. I had given my heart and my very first time completely to Lucian—the benefactor who freed me from my cage and the destined person I had wanted to reach for the very first time. I had whispered that I liked him, and I could hear those words back. The moment we consummated, my body felt as if it had been pierced through, but that pain no longer mattered.
He and I were lovers now, connected to each other, beings to cherish. Softly, softly—
Rie got up from the bed quietly, lest Lucian wake up, and walked toward the window. With every step, her thighs burned, making her bite her lips in pain. According to what she had heard before, women who had lost their virginity suffered like this. She had prepared herself, but she realized that her resolve had shattered the moment Lucian entered her last night.
'It was too strange. It hurt so much.'
A hot, huge something wriggling and digging into her inside. The unfamiliar sensation made her act foolishly, wriggling and screaming in confusion. Lucian’s panicked face was still vivid in her eyes. He had been equally surprised and flustered by his own reaction.
When the unfamiliar sensation continued and finally Lucian’s movements stopped, she could finally exhale and calm down. The burning pain still lingered, but it was far better than when something unfamiliar had entered her.
'…And… it seemed a bit pleasurable too.'
At first she had only thought it was painful. But every time Lucian, who had marked her inside, moved his body little by little, an shameless voice that she couldn’t believe was hers spilled from her mouth. She wanted to cover her lips because she was so surprised and embarrassed, yet she couldn’t because she was hugging him tightly.
After doing that several times, fullness that erased even the pain finally came. Although it wasn’t physical pleasure yet, the mental ecstasy had reached its peak.
Finally, she had become his woman and he had become her man. Whispering that they liked each other and sharing their warmth, they had spent the night like that.
Watching Lucian sleep deeply on the bed, Rie thought she wanted to go back to his side, lie down quietly, and stay with him like this forever.
“Ah…”
Then Lucian seemed to wake up and sat up from the bed. Before that, he had been hurriedly looking around, as if searching for something. Rie, who already knew who he was looking for, smiled.
“Ah, you’re awake. Lucian?”
The pleasant morning greeting brought the two men and women who had burned the night before back into each other’s arms. After that, Rie was embraced by Lucian and received a kiss baptism. It was too embarrassing, but she endured the warmth rising from one corner of her heart.
But another kiss came, so Rie finally stopped him.
“You don’t have to do this much. Whispering that I love you is enough for me alone.”
After talking about various things, they lay back on the bed hugging each other. Then, when they sat up again, they had a deep conversation about their future plans.
“Try harder—for me, and for you. Please make the world remember your name as Lucian rather than Rie.”
'I like you too. I like you too much, Lucian. So the world won’t treat you carelessly. I hope you make that effort too. I’ll help you. I’ll be by your side.'
If someone asked why she liked Lucian so much, she would answer like this: Is the reason important in liking someone? Even if they asked again, after saying yes, she would reply, “The person who brought me here, who seems ordinary but isn’t. Someone who wants to keep me by their side, greedily, and with those eyes only looking at me.”
“Are you leaving?”
“Yes. If I linger here longer, other students might notice.”
“On the way, you might get caught? You have to think about that too.”
“I’m the class representative. I can use that. And if I say I was doing morning exercise for stamina, I can cover up the discomfort.”
Rie forcefully pushed the reluctant Lucian into the room and left in neat attire, heading back to the Martial Division building where her room was. On the way, she met some classmates, but she greeted them with great leisure, politeness, and grace, so they simply focused on receiving the greeting without thinking of anything.
A person who was kind and polite to everyone but somehow felt like a wall because of that. That was how Rie appeared at the academy, and although many admired her, few dared to approach her. Forbes, for example, had only leaned against her because of his family’s backing. At least the others were seniors who recognized her.
“Hello, Rie! Good weekend! Where are you going?”
Entering the Martial Division building, classmates who had been enjoying the weekend freely greeted her. Rie smiled and placed her hand on her chest, slightly bowing her head.
“I was reading a book and got a bit bored, so I went out to sweat a little.”
“Ah… I was told to rest on weekends.”
“Hey, don’t say that. You’re the class representative—you should do better.”
“Rie-ya! I always cheer for you! The first academy student to reach the Sword Master position before graduation! You can definitely do it!”
The reason they, and everyone at the academy, looked at her with envious eyes was that she showed overwhelming presence in other areas, but the swordsmanship part was decisive. At first she had gritted her teeth to show it to Lucian and help him, but at some point it had bloomed so brilliantly that people around her exclaimed “Wow?” without her knowing. Knights had come to challenge her, admitted defeat, and called her a genius. Having both effort and talent, it had blossomed from the beginning. Perhaps she would sit on the Sword Master position in her twenties, the first in kingdom history. This was the common evaluation of the kingdom’s great knights and swordsmen.
'I don’t care why I could bloom so brightly.'
At least her father, Duke Hanniel, had roughly known the situation. Because he was her father, he had immediately seen how she looked at other men. But he had waited for his precious daughter and successor, Rie, to handle it herself—to be able to be proud in front of the man she liked.
Whoosh—
Rie, who had been returning to the room, let out a “Hik!” and groaned. She had been forcing herself to endure, but her bottom still hurt and throbbed badly. When she woke up in the morning and checked a little, she saw it swollen, but she didn’t know beyond that.
'It hurts so much…'
It hurts, but why do I keep wanting to do it again? My body is screaming not to do this again. But my chest and head are saying if there’s a chance, let’s do it again. The warmth and fullness from last night still lingered. I want to feel that heat that easily overcame the pain again. I want to see the man’s eyes looking only at me right in front of me again.
'If I have a child… what name should I give? Ah, it could be a boy or a girl, so I have to think of at least two or more? Fortunately, the next duke is already decided in the Theodore Viscount family, so the child will grow up in our Hanniel family and succeed me.'
Rie was thinking about the child’s name even though Lucian knew nothing about it. Knowing that having a child is easier than expected but also unexpectedly difficult, but since there is no task that cannot be done with effort, having a baby is also possible with effort! No matter what, I will make sure to have a child with Lucian by trying harder! Rie made that decision.
'Forbes, if that guy has any pride, he won’t be able to bother me anymore.'
The Martial Division lost to the Literary Division in swordsmanship. Even the second year lost to the first year, Lucian, the sword prodigy. Because of this, Forbes’ position will fall to the bottom, and the Hanniel family, as well as others, will show negative attitudes toward the engagement with someone who has a high reputation in swordsmanship. In the noble society, the public’s gaze has meanings beyond simple looks. If the Cleasant Marquis family hears this news, they will naturally withdraw, I think. Even so, if Forbes can’t give up, I will personally step in this time. How dare he stick to me even though he couldn’t defeat Lucian, whom I despised so much. At the same time, I planned to contact the family and strongly reject the engagement request. If the Sword Master’s partner is only this level, it’s tarnishing myself and my family. Of course, Lucian had already taken action to nullify the engagement with the Cleasant Marquis family. But it was a part that Rie, who had spent a dreamy night with Lucian until yesterday, couldn’t know.
Clink—
Rie, who entered the room, forced her throbbing body to move toward the desk. There were books she had been reading until last night. Most were textbooks for academy lectures, but among them, some others were visible. They were romance novels depicting the love between men and women, and it was popular these days. She had pretended to be uninterested, but secretly bought some little by little, and now she had quite a few.
Rie picked one and carefully opened it. The part she liked the most, the part where she cried the most. The part where the man and woman who finally knew each other’s hearts hugged each other and whispered that they loved each other, promising an eternal togetherness.
Rie took out a piece of paper tucked between the pages. At first glance, it looked like a bookmark, but it was too big to be just that. Above all, it wasn’t ordinary paper; there was something filled inside.
“…”
Rie looked at the paper and picked up a pen and started circling. After drawing several circles, she smiled very happily and put the paper back on that page.
- To confess.
- To hear the words that I like you.
- To lie together in one bed….
These were the items Rie circled. And below that, there were many other plans densely packed.
This time, thinking what to try next, Rie pointed to one with a smile.
- To feed chocolate.
Lucian, who is not of age and has a very deep thought and atmosphere, but I know he loves sweet foods a lot. So she had decided to definitely feed him that chocolate someday. By the way, not just feeding normally, but putting it in her own lips and then handing it over with her lips. Even thinking about it, her body would twist.
“…Huu, huaa!!”
Rie, who was shaking her legs as if she didn’t know what to do because she was embarrassed, clenched her fist as if she had made up her mind at the end. This time, the academy’s genius had a firm resolve to achieve the goal she set.
Meanwhile.
“…Why suddenly do I feel a chill?”
Lifting the bed sheet filled with last night’s intimacy, Lucian felt a strange uneasiness inexplicably.
