“While you’re begging me to thrust harder, if I let go of these hands, will you move on your own?”
“Mmm, ah!”
Irene nodded her head quickly. But Severus didn’t release her waist. He sucked on her bouncing br*asts with his mouth while gently grazing her n*pples with his teeth.
“Ah, hng, good, more, hah, faster, aahn!”
Irene begged while moving her captured waist on her own. As she approached climax, she gasped for breath.
“Ah! Mm, ahh, I, I’m strange, ah! I think I’m going to… hngh!”
Her inside, which was already wet enough, became even softer. He pressed her pelvis down firmly and inserted himself even deeper as he gently lifted her.
“I’m, I’m falling, aahn!”
“Reach your hands back, Irene, I’ll make you feel even better.”
“Ah, aaah!”
Her body jumped again. He could feel her thighs trembling. Irene, having reached a climax, slowly reached her hands back with dazed eyes.
Grabbing her hips as she supported herself with her hands on the bed, he lifted her slightly. As he thrust strongly without pause – thump, thump – Irene opened her mouth and moaned.
“Ah, ahh! Nng, sl-slowly, hngh!”
She struggled to raise her body. However, he moved his hips as if pouring out everything he had been holding back.
Splash, splash.
The sound of fluids splashing and wet flesh colliding echoed rapidly.
“No. Ah! Severus, I, I’m, again…! Aahh!”
“Ngh.”
He released his s*men deeply inside her while watching Irene tremble and moan as she reached her climax.
“Mm, nng, mmm…”
“I was worried. Irene.”
He kissed her as he embraced her limp body. Yet he didn’t withdraw himself and began moving his hips again.
“Hic! No, Severus, I’ve already too much… ahnn!”
“I was badly hurt. Irene, so you should treat me longer.”
“You should be, completely healed by now, hngh! There, don’t touch, ah…!”
Severus thrust his member again into her still-trembling entrance. The white fluid that had filled her inside couldn’t withstand his entering member and flowed out.
Irene cried out as she reached another climax.
“I, have something to, hah, tell you.”
“It’s not too late to tell me after we get some sleep.”
“…mmm, but.”
Finally, he smiled as he held Irene close, who had drifted into sleep as deeply as if she had fainted.

I didn’t want to open my eyes to the warm comfort. I wanted to keep sleeping like this. Although I felt the staring gaze, I kept my eyes tightly shut, pretending to be asleep.
Even though he could have woken me up, Severus waited quietly. Maybe that’s why I didn’t want to open my eyes even more. Because this peaceful moment would end because of me.
“The Imperial family attacks the temple, and the temple attacks the duke’s residence. How strange.”
I spoke without opening my eyes. I couldn’t understand why they lived their lives tormenting others like this. Power and wealth were useless after death. Even if they passed it down to their children, there was no guarantee they would preserve it.
“I don’t understand why Severus has to suffer because of their fight.”
“It’s because I didn’t take anyone’s side. Furthermore, the Emperor is afraid.”
“Maybe it would have been easier if Severus had married the Imperial Princess. If you became family, they would have at least recognized you as part of the same community.”
When I slowly opened my closed eyes, I saw red pupils. I thought they might have made up stories about how the red color was ominous because they feared Severus.
“Does everyone in the House of Blake have red eyes like Severus?”
He nodded slightly. Finally understanding, I smiled while touching his eyelashes with a look of realization.
“The Imperial family must be full of cowards. Is it because they have so much that they’re more afraid?”
“That might be true.”
I caressed his face for a long while. I needed to tell him what I had seen, but the words wouldn’t come out. Even thinking about it again made me shudder with horror.
“Irene, if it’s something you don’t want to talk about, you don’t have to.”
“But it might be an important clue.”
“We can find something else.”
“……”
“If it’s a scene you don’t want to recall, just forget it.”
He couldn’t possibly imagine what I had seen. How could he think that Michaelo would disguise priestess as me and engage in irrational acts in a secret place? Moreover, it seemed he wasn’t just satisfying his lust with the priestess, but also stealing their power.
‘I can’t be certain about this part, but it was still strange.’
The priestesses who were limp and looked like they could die any moment, and the space where corpses were piled up. The altar for offerings was also concerning. Above all, what was strangest was that the priestess looked similar to me.
“Strange things seem to be happening in the temple.”
He silently embraced me and patted me. When I was with him, it felt like all my worries disappeared. My heart felt at peace, and I found courage.
“You said spouses should do everything together. So I’ll be brave.”
“Irene, you don’t need to force yourself.”
“While looking for hidden spaces in the temple, I accidentally found a lit room. When I carefully approached and looked inside… the High Priestess was standing there. In front of him were priestess’s kneeling.”
The afterimage came back again, making me feel sick. I firmly gripped his arm and slowly regulated my breathing to suppress the nausea.
“Michaelo was intimate with the priestess.”
“You’ve seen something filthy that you shouldn’t have seen, so you must be very shocked.”
“But… the priestess, about six of them, looked exactly… like me.”
“What do you mean they looked like you?”
Severus’s voice deepened. I slowly raised my body. Then, grabbing my hair, I said.
“With red hair, they looked exactly like they were imitating me. Michaelo continued the act while calling my name. It felt as if I was being intimate with him there…”
I shook my head vigorously. Perhaps Michaelo had gone mad. Maybe something happened to his mind because I, who possessed abilities that no one else had, betrayed the kindness he had shown in raising me and went somewhere else.
If not that, then he must have brought me to the temple with such intentions from the beginning. With my abilities, there were many ways he could have used me. He could have made a fortune by selling me to foreign countries, or he could have revealed my existence to the Imperial family to achieve what he wanted.
Yet the reason he kept me by his side must have been because he wanted me to stay with him forever like a wife, like family, without leaving. I could tell how great his obsession with me was because I had seen it clearly with my own eyes.
“It seems Michaelo has been like this all along. If Severus hadn’t taken me out of the temple that day, I would have been completely deceived by him. Maybe I would have ended up living like those people I witnessed.”
“……This crazy bastard.”
Severus cursed and got up from his seat. He now clearly understood how Michaelo had looked at me and what thoughts he had while keeping me by his side all this time.
