Droit du Seigneur: His Lordship's Right of the First Night - Chapter 66
“Ah, ngh…! That— hnnngh, haa…!”
She hesitated briefly, but knowing this was their last meeting, she didn’t ponder long. As Richard’s movements grew deeper and more intense, waves of pleasure crashed over her.
It felt like they were the only two people left in the world. Even if she were to die right now, she wouldn’t want to stop.
“Ah…! Ha, ah, Ri, Richard….”
“Yes, Louise.”
“Ah, ngh! Ri, chard….”
“Call my name, come on.”
“Ah, ahh! Nnngh, I… AH!”
As sparks flew before her eyes and their joined bodies burned with extreme pleasure, Louise couldn’t think of anything. It was as if she were walking a tightrope on a high cliff, reaching one dizzying climax after another.
“Mmnnh, Richard…!”
“Louise, ha, Louise….”
Their names had never sounded so sweet. Even as they were one, Louise wrapped her white legs around his waist, wanting to take him deeper.
“Richard, Richard….”
In the overwhelming sensation that made her feel like she would burst, Louise clung to him desperately, wrapping her arms around his strong neck. The incredible pleasure made her feel like she was falling from the highest tower.
Ahh…!
From deep inside their joined bodies, an explosive, intense sensation spread. As Louise experienced the earth-shattering climax, she finally broke into sobs.

“Haa, ah.”
Gradually, the heat subsided. The heavy rain that had been pounding outside also ceased, but they continued to hold each other tightly.
Richard didn’t release his embrace around Louise, and she savored the warmth and comfort of his arms for a while. As they lay side by side and talked, it felt just like old times.
“Mmh….”
Richard, caressing the soft body nestled against him, suddenly grasped her tender flesh. When he lightly scratched the hardened peak with his firm fingers, Louise’s eyes widened. Richard, who had been squeezing her embarrassingly erxct nxxples from both sides, now lifted them up.
“Ah, why….”
“Could it still be cold?”
“Unh, my lord…! Seriously….”
Louise shot him a glare and slapped his firm chest, making him laugh softly.
Propping himself up on one arm, Richard lay on his side and looked down at her. Louise, lying in his arms, turned and traced the scars on his chest with her fingers. She wished this night would never end. But since she couldn’t stop time, she wanted to take one last look to remember him by.
“You mustn’t get hurt anymore, my lord. You already have so many scars… If you get more, it would be too scary for anyone to marry you.”
“Were you scared too?”
“Yes, honestly at first… but now I’m not scared anymore.”
“That’s a relief.”
“Please stay healthy and don’t get sick.”
“…Yes, you too.”
Maybe it was because they had just made love, but his low voice sounded hoarse.
“Don’t get sick.”
“I won’t. Actually… I hardly ever get sick.”
“I know you’re tough.”
Richard chuckled quietly, finding her endearing as she wriggled in his embrace. Louise whispered softly again.
“Be happy, my lord. You’re a truly good person… I’m sure you’ll meet someone wonderful and be happy.”
Richard didn’t reply to that.
Will I? All the happiness I know was given to me by you. Will there ever be a time as joyful as the days I spent with you in the rest of my life…?
His heart felt heavy and pained with longing.
Still, I’m glad you’re happy. Just knowing you don’t hate me is enough….
Hoping he could endure the long, endless time without her, Richard etched the image and scent of her in his heart over and over.
Eventually, they left the hut, walking hand in hand down the still-damp path before dawn fully broke. By the time they arrived at Louise’s house, it was early morning.
The pre-dawn sky had cleared, as if it had never rained, but Louise’s face was still wet with tears. When he turned back to her, trying hard to smile, she looked so beautiful that Richard couldn’t say anything. He gently wiped the tears from her cheeks.
“My lord, I wanted to part with a smiling face the last time, but I couldn’t, and it bothered me.”
“…Really?”
“Yes, so I’m so relieved to see you again.”
“…….”
“Thank you for everything. I won’t forget.”
Suddenly, she remembered an old story her mother had told her as a child about a potion that could erase painful memories.
If someone were to give me a potion to erase the memories of you that make me ache, should I drink it? Would it be better to forget everything and be relieved?
No. Louise was now completely certain.
Even though she had learned what a broken heart felt like, she didn’t regret meeting or loving him. Unfulfilled love still had value.
The short two-month romance. The fiery emotion she experienced for the first time in her twenty years had given her immense happiness, heart-wrenching pain, and made her more mature.
“Please be happy, my lord.”
Richard’s usually expressionless face twisted in pain.
Under the brightening sky from the east, Louise looked at him with a tearful face and smiled brightly.
Goodbye, my lord.
Goodbye, my first love….
This was truly their farewell.
