Trapped in a Secret Room With the Magnificent Duke - Chapter 16
“Kadrion, please…”
At last, Reyna’s voice uttered Duke Gerard’s name. The ferocious Duke Gerard released his climax deep inside her, flooding her with warmth.
“Really, you’re too much.”
Reyna said with a slight pout, and Duke Gerard’s eyes softened into a round, gentle smile. He tenderly wiped away the tears from Reyna’s eyes.
“Well then, you could have called my name sooner.”
Duke Gerard spoke softly, his gaze tender as if he was admiring something precious. Reyna quickly averted her eyes. Duke Gerard immediately grasped her chin and turned her face back towards him.
“Don’t avoid my gaze.”
Under his penetrating stare, Reyna could do nothing but bite her lip. She knew very well the consequences of not heeding his words during s-x. While he was always a perfect gentleman, when they were together, he transformed into a beast.
Reyna looked up at Duke Gerard with trembling eyes.
“Good, Reyna.”
Duke Gerard gently kissed her lips, sucking so hard that her lips were swollen and sore.
“It hurts.”
As Reyna squirmed from the pain, Duke Gerard spoke softly with a concerned expression.
“I’ll call for a priest to cast a recovery spell.”
He then slowly turned his waist awkwardly.
“You’re not planning to… do it again, are you?”
Reyna’s eyes widened in horror. Despite doing it almost every day, Duke Gerard never seemed to tire. In fact, he only seemed to become more insatiable with time.
“Are you struggling a lot?”
When Reyna nodded in response, Duke Gerard said, with a regretful look.
“Then I’ll just put it in and take it out briefly.”
Reyna couldn’t fully trust his words. Duke Gerard had said something similar at least four times that day.
“Ugh… please…”
Instead of briefly withdrawing as promised, Duke Gerard began to stimulate only Reyna’s most sensitive parts.
As a result, he didn’t stop until Reyna was completely exhausted that night.
* * *
Years had passed since Reyna became Duchess Gerard, but Duke Gerard remained as insatiable as ever.
Perhaps his persistence extended even to his s-erm, as Reyna became pregnant almost immediately after he stopped taking his usual contraceptives just once.
With Duke Gerard’s attentive care, Reyna managed a safe delivery.
She had fulfilled her significant duty as a noblewoman by producing an heir. This achievement had somewhat bolstered Reyna’s confidence, which had previously been somewhat subdued due to the disparity in social status between her family and others.
After enduring Duke Gerard’s relentless attentions until dawn, Reyna was only able to step out of the bedroom in the afternoon. As she diligently walked through the garden, a small figure darted toward her.
“Wife!”
A tiny creature hurled itself into the hem of Reyna’s dress. Diego, beaming with a wide smile, looked up at her.
“Diego, you’re supposed to call me ‘Mother,’ you know.”
Despite Reyna’s prompt correction, Diego simply pretended not to hear and continued to grin adorably.
“Wife! I found a small house over there!”
Diego’s soft, small hand grasped Reyna’s and tugged strongly. Reyna, about to scold her son once more but raised an eyebrow instead.
“A house?”
“Yes! It’s a little house. Let’s go see it together.”
Reyna primarily frequented the walking paths, and the estate’s garden was so vast that it required horseback riding to navigate. While it wasn’t impossible for there to be unknown areas, something felt off.
‘Come to think of it…’
She recalled hearing about a small, unused storage building from the estate’s steward. The steward had casually mentioned that some employees had seen ghosts near that area and subtly implied that Reyna should not go near it.
The estate was vast, and Reyna had many other concerns, so it had slipped her mind.
“Hurry up!”
Diego urged, pulling Reyna along with a surprising strength for such a small child. Someone has said he was surely of Duke Gerard’s bloodline.
“It’s really here.”
As they ventured deeper into the garden, they discovered a small villa. Contrary to the steward’s description of it as a mere storage space, the exterior was quite elegant, and the surroundings were well-maintained.
This meant that the staff had been diligently caring for it.
‘A villa that’s being hidden from the Madam? …Could it be!’
The sudden thought made Reyna’s heart start pounding rapidly. The story of a husband secretly hiding his mistress in a villa within the estate and meeting her in secret, a rumor she’d once heard from a noblewoman, now came rushing back to her.
“But the door is locked, so we can’t get inside.”
Diego pouted his little lips in dissatisfaction. Reyna, momentarily stunned by the shock, watched as Diego, like a playful colt, dashed around the house, circling it energetically.
“Diego! Be careful or you’ll trip.”
As Reyna chased after Diego, she took a deep breath.
The scene visible through the window of the house seemed eerily familiar.
