Weeping Men: The Innocent Princess's Secret Delight - Chapter 2.27
“You brought that again?”
As he was flustered and trying to catch it, a voice from inside was quicker. Kaizen stood up to offer a belated greeting, but he couldn’t bring himself to look directly and averted his gaze.
“Oh my. It’s as if I’m making the busy knight come and go just to bring puppy treats.”
It was because Judith’s attire was still far from proper as she smiled brightly.
Still not having left her bed, she wore only a single layer of negligee, revealing almost all of her body’s curves.
“…I’ll come back later.”
“No! Wait just a moment.”
Unlike the fidgeting Kaizen, Judith was calm. She merely added a silk robe on top and got up from the bed. Kaizen’s gaze, unable to find a safe place to rest, wandered endlessly.
“I can’t let the knight make a wasted trip.”
Judith knew how to keep his gaze fixed on her. Clasping her outstretched hands together, she tilted her head, pressing her cheek against the back of her hands and closing her eyes.
Faced with this natural aegyo (disguising high-level manipulation), Kaizen fell for it again, staring in a daze.
The bedroom door closed behind him. Judith, now unhindered, pulled on his captured hand, leading him to the bed and.
Plop, she threw herself down. Kaizen pulled along, awkwardly found himself on top of her.
“…!”
The place, the attire, even the position. It was unbelievably e****c.
Kaizen tried to quickly pull away, but her slender fingers entwined in his hair at the nape of his neck, preventing him from doing so. He floundered, not knowing what to do.
“Um, Your Highness. Didn’t you say you had something to tell me…?”
“I did.”
“Then I’ll listen in a proper posture…”
“But I want to talk with you in this state.”
Judith gave a slight eye-smile while her hand slowly moved down to caress the vertebrae at the back of his neck.
It was broad daylight, and he was fully dressed. Yet with just one touch from her, Kaizen’s consciousness returned to the winter forest from a few days ago, and he lost himself again.
He slowly collapsed onto her. Judith, having toppled the carefully built tower by removing a single cornerstone, whispered contentedly.
“I couldn’t sleep all night without the warmth of you warming me.”
Kaizen was helpless once again. He surrendered his lips entirely to her as she drew close and consumed him wholly.
“Mmm…”
Chu, chu. The room was filled with soft moans and wet sounds. Judith alternated between sucking his lips, caressing his cheeks as if savoring him, and her hands slid down to fondle his chest. Kaizen could only clutch at the innocent down comforter.
A leg wrapped around his thigh, pressing their lower bodies together. Their intimate parts brushed lightly against each other. Even though clothed, his lower half, having learned pleasure, keenly caught the sensation and became aroused.
Kaizen’s eyes gradually became unfocused. Just as his hips began to twitch, instinctively trying to thrust.
“Ah… that’s enough.”
Judith, letting out a satisfied sigh, pushed him away. Kaizen, cut off just as he was about to join in, asked without knowing shame.
“…Is this the end?”
“Do you want to do more?”
“!”
When she mischievously asked, he quickly came to his senses and hastily pushed his desire inward.
Seeing his face turn bright red, Judith smiled pleasantly and then casually said.
“I can’t have swollen lips when I go to see Father, can I?”
Kaizen, whose shame threshold had been exceeded and was somewhat dazed, understood that statement a beat late.
“…Then why did you call for me?”
“Yes. His Majesty said to visit the audience chamber together with Sir Pentmian.”
“!”
Suddenly faced with an audience with His Majesty, Kaizen hurriedly checked his appearance first.
“Has something urgent happened at the border?”
He asked, suddenly becoming solemn.
‘As if that could be. If so, they wouldn’t call me along.’
While inwardly giving the real answer, outwardly she teased him. She wanted to remove the mask he wore as the Knight Commander with a kiss, thinking he would react with an endearing surprise.
“…!”
And indeed he did. Watching his face, like flesh that had been covered and then exposed, becoming even redder, she joked.
“I wonder. Perhaps he wants to publicly endorse our relationship?”
At that. Though Kaizen’s face was still red.
“…Do you think he really would?”
He couldn’t hide his expectations. A blush rose, and the corners of his eyes and mouth softened.
“…”
Conversely, Judith became troubled.
She had said that hoping he would be more embarrassed. But if he gets his hopes up so much…
“…So! I should change clothes first, right?”
“Huh? Ah…”
“Why hesitate? Do you want to dress me yourself?”
“N-No, not at all!”
She deflected with another joke. It was to deliberately ignore the stinging feeling inside.
Judith, who came to have an audience with the Emperor, was rarely flustered.
“I hear there’s a snowflower festival in Pentmian’s duchy for the first time in 12 years. How about going to grace the occasion? As Pentmian’s partner.”
She never imagined her joke would become half reality.
Judith, unable to answer, rolled her eyes. While she might have accepted it as fate, a small problem remained.
She glanced sideways at Pentmian standing next to her. He must have been looking at her too, as their eyes met instantly. His previously expressionless face, upon meeting her gaze.
Gently. Smiled and softened.
“Then I’ll be counting on you, young duke.”
The Pentmian who the Emperor said had business turned out to be the elder, not the younger.
