âWell, Ilina, Emma, thank you very much for your considerationâ¦â¦.â
âThe moment I wear something like this, itâs a divorce.â If I said that, it would look strange.
People in the world know that I used the right to obedience because I passionately loved Daniel Prause. Since I have to constantly seduce him in order to win his love, I can understand why Lina and Emma put so much effort into it.
âBut these clothes are a littleâ¦..â
At the end of my thoughts, I quietly lowered my eyes.
âIâm a bit shy about wearing clothes like thisâ¦..â
â!â
Lina looked like she never thought I would be embarrassed.
However, she soon agreed with an expression that seemed to say,
âLearning complete.â
âIâm sorry, the Grand Duchess. I couldnât bear to consider that variable.â
âno. In other fields, there is no shame. But the first night is a different field.â
âI will keep that in mind.â
Somehow, it feels like Iâm learning something from artificial intelligence. Emma listened quietly to our conversation and said,
âThen why donât you wear the bottom slip? I heard that is the most innocent type.â
âAh, then Iâll do that.â
Fortunately, the âinnocent typeâ did not have any problems other than the silhouette of the body being exposed.
In addition, I have worn this kind of clothes several times at a mask dance that I secretly attended.
No one cursed at me for having a low bloodline when I wore a mask.â
I didnât have close friends or a group to hang out with, so I wanted to be among people.
â⦠⦠I need to get changed soon.â
It didnât take long to change into a white slip.
The only decorations were lace and string, so there was nothing special to wear.
Although the body was revealed because the material was silk, it was also fortunate that the length was long enough to cover the knees.
The other clothes in the box were short enough to make me wonder if it was a dress and not a top.
âYour Highness, Grand Duchess, you look really good. If this is the case, even the Grand Duke⦠⦠oh.â
Emma stopped talking and kept her mouth shut.
but. In the past, I would not have tolerated the fact that I had to flirt without pride in order to get something.
âThank you. I hope the Grand Duke Prause likes it as much as you did.â
Emma and Illinaâs eyes twinkled.
Itâs a pleasure to know someoneâs hard work.
âIâll continue to say thank you to both of them.â
I put on my gown and left the room.
My bedroom was so far from Prince Prauseâs bedroom that I almost had to cross it.
however
âA moving magic circle?â
When I left the room, a bright moving magic circle was waiting for me. The same magical power I felt when Daniel read my future.
Apparently, this magic circle was prepared by His Highness the grand duke himself.
Are you telling me not to go around in all directions because nothing will happen anyway?â
Even in my opinion, it was an interesting topic to talk about how the princess went to the Grand Duke before the first night after the forced marriage.
The Grand Duke had no hesitation in making himself a promiscuous man, but he didnât want to get involved with me even in rumorsâ¦.
âRather good.â
From my point of view, the colder he was, the easier the divorce was, so I was grateful.
âThen have a nice dream, everyone.â
Dig-
After a brief greeting, when I put my hand on the magic circle, a brilliant magical energy enveloped my whole body.
Before I even opened my eyes, a nice scent wafted in and I knew that the space had changed.
A clean floral scent.
Soap scent?
âDaniel, did you wash?â
I opened my eyes.
Then, in the moonlight, I saw Daniel staring at me in a white shirt.
âI can understand why people dug up a man who started dying.â
Silver hair that is slightly wet at the end and purple eyes that seem to attract people. Contrary to the docile face, the body was built with muscles as if revealing the fact that dragon blood was mixed.
a sculptural handsome man like this, you wonât get tired of looking at it for 85 years.
In the meantime, why did the northerners believe the rumor that Grand Duke Prause, who had a good and noble disposition for generations, was promiscuous?
Everyone who actually saw Daniel would believe him.â
This man would set fire to womenâs hearts just by showing up without saying a word.
âIsnât it time to end the day?â
Daniel said as if he had any other reason to wash.
Apparently, this man doesnât know what it means for a man to wash and wait on the first night.
The situation would have been a bit embarrassing if I had come wearing the net recommended by AI, Lina.
âThen I will sleep on the sofa.â
I pointed to the wooden sofa against the wall in the hallway.
By now, the hallway was full of employees wondering what the hell was going on in the room.
There was no other seat than that sofa to produce the proper âsound effectâ.
âreally⦠⦠Itâs difficult to secure a position as a grand duchess.â
But Daniel stared at the sofa and said.
âPrincess Frey, please sleep on the bed.â
âThen what about Daniel?â
âThanks to my pedigree, I donât mind not sleeping for days.â
âBut itâs a bit⦠to take someone elseâs bed.â
The carriage trip must have been really hard.
It was impossible to refuse Danielâs bed, which was as soft as the one in my room.
I sat with my back against the head of the bed. Daniel was sitting on the sofa prepared for reading and was absorbed in reading books on economics. I waited until he had read about ten more pages before I lucked out.
âHey, Daniel. I want to start slowly.â
âWhat do you mean?â
He spoke in a low-pitched voice as if he were concentrating on his book.
I canât believe a man who made a rumor that he was promiscuous reacts so poorly to the concept. Somehow I wanted to tease him a little bit.
âIt is the first night of the honeymoon. There is no way that the grand duke, who has created two out-of-wedlock children, would not know what to do.â
â⦠⦠.â
The self-proclaimed promiscuous man closed his mouth like a clam and avoided my gaze.
âThen I will take care of it, so please read the book comfortably.â
But just because I said it out loud didnât mean I could do anything.
I am⦠⦠Iâve never been in a relationship before or in this life.
âBut if itâs an indirect experience!â
Shall we break the bed as we read in a novel on the first night of the honeymoon?
Then the employees would say, âOh, you must have done something in bed.â
you would think To give the impression that the marriage was consummated because the first night was spent giving the assurance that the two will get divorced one day because they are not on good termsâ¦.
âAs expected, make the bed tooâwait a minute.â
However, with only the divine power of purification and healing, I didnât think I could break Danielâs wooden bed.
Then Even a strange voice?
âBig, big.â
As I cleared my throat, Daniel closed the book as if he knew what was going to happen.
âPrincess Frey. Why are you even doing that?â
â⦠⦠.â
No, Iâm suddenly hit with reality when he asks with such contempt.
However, Daniel seemed to want to hear an answer from the bottom of his heart.
I tapped the head of the bed.
âIâll answer you if you let me crack a little here.â
â⦠⦠.â
Bug-
good. At this level, the employees will also imagine.
I answered him as promised.
âYou already know what I want, right? Itâs to hit Gelon and avenge my mother. Of course, the process will help you.â
âI understand the princessâs feelings, but itâs not a goal that can be achieved overnight, so itâs better not to think too impatiently.â
âIs it because I broke your bed in my impatience that you care so much?â
When I made a joke, he laughed.
The day will come when Daniel will laugh at my jokes.
âAt this rate, it might be possible to remain a good business partner even after the divorce.â
Thanks to that, I felt more at ease and was able to confide.
âIsnât it strange? I know itâs not my fault that my mother died⦠Now that my mother has died, I feel like I need to wake up and achieve her goal.â
â⦠⦠.â
âSince I survived that situation without dying, I think I have to pay the price. It seems to be a courtesy to the deceased.â
As I finished speaking, I glanced up to see that he was agitated.
I already knew why.
Because he also had memories of losing his mother and father at the same time.
Losing both of my parents at the same time at a much younger age than me must have been very shocking.
Those who have not yet lost a loved one may not be able to relate.
Somehow, I felt like I had something in common with him that hurt me.
I turned around and asked him.
âDaniel Prause. Were you having a hard time too?â
When I asked, he looked at me without saying anything.
He looked at me for several minutes.
With eyes that never knew what he was thinking, over and over again.
âNot saying anything isnât a good sign.â
For a moment, I thought I might have made a mistake.
For Daniel Prause, childhood memories are trauma itself.
If youâre thinking about that time because of me⦠⦠Thereâs no such thing as intimacy.
âAs expected, weâre not too close to having a conversation like this.â
Even if itâs a situation where you spend the first night together in the bedroom.
I thought it would be better to try to talk until here.
âhmmâ¦Daniel?â
He woke up from his thoughts only after his name was called.
âah⦠⦠sorry.â
âno. I think itâs because Iâm tired, but Iâm going to sleep soon.â
If they see a broken bed, the employees will take care of the delusion that begins with the exclamation âTo the extent that the bed is broken?â
I didnât get kicked out in the middle either. This was quite satisfying for the first night of a contract marriage.
âThen good night, princess.â
âThank you. Good night, Daniel.â
âI plan to finish reading the book I was reading.â
Daniel stepped away as if to say he had no intention of sharing or taking away the bed.
It would have been too much to open the gate with magic to come from the capital to the northern part of the empire, but he had no idea.
I was a little worried about his health, but I couldnât help but close my eyes.
