Chapter 557: The New Bride
Just a few days ago, Kang Hyun-woo had been nothing more and nothing less to Valentina than a mage of outstanding talent.
But the week she had spent with him was more than enough time to change her perception completely.
From magic to martial arts, Kang Hyun-woo possessed a talent that surpassed even Valentina’s wildest expectations.
Moreover, he possessed several special abilities whose principles she couldn't even begin to fathom, and he often displayed a maturity that was strangely at odds with his age.
Seeing this side of him, Valentina concluded that he was something more than a mere genius—something almost alien.
And that wasn't the only mystery.
The more time she spent with him, the more an unfamiliar emotion—one she had never felt in her centuries of life—slowly began to rear its head.
At first, she found it utterly absurd.
He was so much younger than her, yet he’d pat her head at every opportunity and worry about her more than necessary.
No matter how she looked at it, he was treating her like a child.
But if asked whether she found his actions unpleasant, Valentina wouldn't be able to answer so easily.
Of course, she had frowned at first. That much was true.
As time went on, however, things slowly began to change.
She didn't know exactly when it started, but at some point, she found herself desperately hiding her true desire to lean, without even realizing it, against Kang Hyun-woo’s broad shoulders.
It had been twenty-three years since Anastasia had collapsed from the curse.
As the grueling days bled into one another, Valentina’s fortress-like mind, though slowly, was steadily being worn down.
For even as one of only three archmages in the world, she was still a delicate woman who wanted someone to lean on in her moments of hardship.
But there were no men in Valentina’s life dependable enough for her to truly lean on.
On the contrary, her world was overflowing with trash who approached her without even trying to hide their vile desires.
Because of this, Valentina’s nerves had grown sharper with each passing day.
To make matters worse, when Anastasia showed no signs of improvement, Valentina even began to entertain the dangerous thought of just giving up on everything.
But when Kang Hyun-woo appeared before her, the situation turned around as if by magic.
He was clearly much younger and weaker than her.
And yet, Kang Hyun-woo had solved in an instant the problem she hadn't been able to touch for twenty-three years.
Especially the moment she witnessed Anastasia walking on her own two feet.
—...Ah.
Valentina’s heart had pounded violently.
And that wasn't all.
She could sleep peacefully without medication, she began to smile without forcing it, and she was finally able to leave her room.
The days felt like a dream.
And at the center of it all was always Kang Hyun-woo. Unconsciously, Valentina’s gaze began to follow him.
It was behavior she couldn't understand, even by her own standards.
But then, at that moment when Kang Hyun-woo, whose eyes met hers as they often did, smiled and waved…
—...Hk.
Thump, thump, thump, thump—
Valentina’s heart began to pound uncontrollably, and only then did she finally recognize her own feelings.
What name was she supposed to give this emotion she was feeling now?
Every time she saw Kang Hyun-woo, a corner of her chest would tingle, and her face would grow hot for no reason.
It was a strange sensation, one she had never experienced in her centuries of life.
But she felt not a shred of caution or worry about this unknown thing.
In fact, it was the opposite.
“Mmph, slurp, mwah, chhp…♡ A little more… Hold me a little tighter…♡”
Valentina clung to Kang Hyun-woo, craving his affection.
Until now, she had only been this forward when she was half out of her mind, but right now, she was more sober than she had ever been.
Seeing her like this, Kang Hyun-woo couldn't contain his boiling lust.
How could I possibly hold back when the Tower Lord herself is acting all cute and begging to be fucked?
He wouldn't be a man if he held back here.
Valentina’s words were practically a confession, and the fact that they were still on the sofa instead of heading straight for the bed was proof that he didn't even have the composure for that.
Kang Hyun-woo roughly tore off his shirt and stole Valentina’s lips.
Their tongues and saliva tangled together.
As if afraid to lose him, Valentina wrapped her arms around his neck, refusing to let go even as it became difficult to breathe through her nose.
Amidst their ragged breaths, her arms only tightened their hold.
Hyun-woo felt like a runaway 8-ton truck with broken brakes… He glanced at Valentina with a troubled expression, but it was fleeting.
It’s a little restrictive, but this isn’t so bad.
Though it was slightly difficult to move, Kang Hyun-woo decided to focus on the task at hand rather than try to peel off Valentina, who was clinging to him like glue.
Squeeze…!
Slipping a hand under her dress, Kang Hyun-woo grabbed her large buttocks and skillfully stripped off her panties.
The black panties, adorned with ornate lace, looked like they could be called seduction lingerie.
Well, well. Looks like she came prepared from the start.
“Chup, mwah, slurp, slurp… Hah, heup, euup…!!♡”
Squish, squelch—♡
Kang Hyun-woo’s thick fingers delved into her winding insides.
As his fingertips mercilessly rubbed her highly sensitized vaginal walls, Valentina trembled from a pleasure she could never have felt with her own slender fingers.
“Phu-haat…!♡ Hut, ugh, euung…!♡”
Now freed, Kang Hyun-woo leisurely tossed aside his pants while continuing to thrust his middle and ring fingers into Valentina’s pussy.
“Gasp?!”
When his monstrous, vein-popped cock came into view, Valentina sucked in a sharp breath, even as her body writhed in pleasure.
But reflected in her eyes was an undeniable, unconcealable anticipation.
Looking down at her, Kang Hyun-woo gave a meaningful smile and began to gently rub the entrance of her vagina with the tip of his glans.
Slick, slide♡
“Ang, ahng, haaht…♡”
Valentina panted out coquettish moans, sending Kang Hyun-woo a desperate look.
It was a gaze so blatant he knew what she wanted without having to ask.
But Kang Hyun-woo didn't move as she expected.
Shlick, shlick—
Instead, he created a thin blade of aura and, without hesitation, sliced through her top.
Click—
When he undid the hook of her last remaining piece of clothing, her bra, Valentina’s pale, naked body was revealed.
Kang Hyun-woo caressed her smooth abdomen, then her full breasts, her clearly defined collarbones, her slender shoulders, and finally the tip of her chin.
“Lady Valentina.”
Then, he gently stroked her face.
“Try asking me to put it in.”
“…What?”
“Ah, my mistake.”
Kang Hyun-woo squeezed Valentina’s breast and whispered in her ear.
“Beg me to put it in.”
“?!!”
Valentina’s eyes trembled at his blatantly commanding tone, the likes of which she had never heard from him before.
Her surprise was palpable, but regardless, Kang Hyun-woo simply toyed with her nipple with his fingertip and let out a small laugh.
“You said you like me, right? That means you’re willing to be my wife. A married couple can’t be so formal with each other, can they?”
“Wh-What does that…”
“So, you don’t want to?”
“…”
It was practically coercion, but Valentina had no other choice.
No, even if she had another choice, she wouldn't have taken it.
The moment she confessed her true feelings to Kang Hyun-woo, she had already cast aside all her pride.
She was even prepared to bear his child.
Squelch…♡
Blushing like a ripe persimmon, Valentina shyly spread her pussy open.
“P-Please bestow your love upon me, darling…♡”
In the past, such vulgar words and actions would have been unimaginable.
But Kang Hyun-woo wasn't satisfied with that.
“Hmm… I don’t quite understand what you mean by that. If you want something, you have to say it clearly.”
Slap, slap—
Wearing a sly expression, Kang Hyun-woo slapped the entrance to her pussy with his dick.
“Say ‘dick.’”
“Hut, euuht…”
Her love juice splattered everywhere.
Despite Kang Hyun-woo’s unreasonable demand, Valentina didn't raise her fist or her voice as she usually would.
She could only glare at him with a beet-red face.
“A-Are you telling me to utter such a vulgar word…”
“Hurry up.”
“…”
At Kang Hyun-woo’s urging, Valentina’s lips trembled as her eyes darted around.
Her hesitation was obvious, but faced with his gaze, which was brimming with anticipation, she had no choice but to finally speak.
“P-Put your dick inside me…!”
In that instant, Valentina was overcome with an unbearable sense of shame.
But just as spilled water cannot be gathered up again, it was too late for regrets.
At my age, fawning over a man younger than my own daughter…!!
Just as the impulse to hang herself right then and there washed over her, it happened.
“…Pfft.”
“?”
Hearing the laugh escape Kang Hyun-woo’s lips, Valentina doubted her own ears.
“Puhaha!! Hehe, Lady Valentina. Aren’t you being a little too cute—Gack?!!”
SQUEEEZE—!!!
With a murderous glint in her eyes, Valentina choked Kang Hyun-woo with both hands.
Thick veins bulged on the back of her pale hands.
“You must have truly lost your mind.”
“S-Sorry… Keok…!!”
Shudder—!!
A raw killing intent, the likes of which he had never felt before, crashed down upon Kang Hyun-woo.
I… can’t breathe…
Sensing his life was in danger, Kang Hyun-woo’s brain spun rapidly, searching for a solution.
In this life-or-death situation, there was only one option.
SHLURCH—!!
“Hnnghk?!!♡”
As his dick slammed into her cervix without a hint of warning, the strength drained from Valentina’s hands.
Kang Hyun-woo didn't miss the opening.
He rubbed his reddened neck and let out a faint laugh.
“Hoo… That was a close call.”
“K-Kang Hyun-woo…!!”
No matter that she was an archmage, once a dick was buried inside her, she was just as helpless as any other woman.
But still worried about the aftermath, Kang Hyun-woo hesitated for a moment before leaning down and pressing his lips to Valentina’s forehead.
“I’m sorry. I wasn’t laughing to make fun of you. It was because you were so cute.”
“Don’t think you can get away with such wordpl—”
Peck!
“If you think you can get away with—”
Peck!
“If you think—it would be a grave miscalcula—”
Peck!
“St-Stop…!!”
Peck!
“I-I get it, I get it, so just stop!!”
Timing it for the moment her complaints were about to burst forth, Kang Hyun-woo showered kisses on Valentina’s nose, cheeks, and lips without stopping.
It was a childish trick, but it seemed to be quite effective. Valentina blushed like a shy maiden while simultaneously scowling in annoyance.
But even that expression soon softened as if it had never been there when Kang Hyun-woo gently caressed her face.
“Is it okay to move now? I’m about at my limit.”
“…Do as you please.”
Slide—
Valentina deliberately avoided his gaze and wrapped her arms around his neck.
Then, she continued in a near whisper.
“For tonight… my body belongs to you, my husband.”
