Duke, Please Stop Because it Hurts
chapter-107-30041322

“I just hope that Arjan Clemence is just as wise.”

At least someone would be able to recognize it right away while still manoeuvring behind the scenes. Raven nodded, embracing her even more.

“If you say so… then okay, I’ll do it. But don’t forget your own task at all times.”

“If it’s your way of talking then… Don’t push myself too hard?”

“Yes.”

Molitia smiled softly at his warm words.

“I got it.”

“Then, My Lady. Can you please put off from getting dressed for now? No matter how warm this room is, it’s still not enough to calm these desires of mine.”

“What?”

There was nothing like this to break the current mood. Molitia looked at him with that such a relaxed look.

“Why? You admitted it yourself. Your husband’s physical strength is just enormous.”

“Why would it emerge now?”

“Why? It’s the same situation even now, Molitia.”

Raven kissed her lightly on the cheek. His hand then proceeded to touch that cold body.

“……!”

Molitia turned her head, embarrassed by the pleasure she felt on her bottom. The subtle simulation was enough to heat up her cheeks.

“You, really…”

Molitia glared at him before softening her eyes. Don’t you think that it’ll be okay to indulge just for today? Her mumbling mouth had parted ever so slightly.

“…not here.”

“Do you mean that we should go to the bedroom instead of being here?”

Nodded. Her eyes were blinking cutely.

“But I have to be back in shape by tomorrow, so you have to try to control yourself as much as you can at night… Raven, wait—kyaa!”

Raven, who could no longer stand his lust, immediately leapt to his feet. Startled, Molitia instinctively hugged his neck. Raven then quickly wrapped her in clothes before heading straight to the bedroom.

Molitia clenched her petite fist before hitting him on the back. But, he just quickly turned towards the bedroom as he closed the door.

Return

Shortly afterwards, Molitia began to fix her stare at the letter that was in her hand. The invitation, which had been stamped with the seal of Count Clemence, had ultimately indicated the meaning of an acceptance.

“Finally, it’s today.”

She had already expected it. Arjan, who was forced to leave the duchy as if she was just being kicked out by Molitia, couldn’t have stayed still at all.

Even so, the proposal that was delivered by her father had never been brought up by Raven himself.

She would just be gritting her teeth desperately. Arjan had this morbid personality where she would want to pay it back once she was defeated by others. That was the reason Molitia had brought up such a plan of action to Raven.

“I have to be more careful and prepare thoroughly.”

Molitia slowly placed the letter in the drawer that was right at the corner. Pillen and Lili, who were dressing her up, had become much busier now.

“Shouldn’t we go out in advance?”

Molitia gave a hearty laugh at Lili’s concerned words.

“There’s absolutely no reason for the host to arrive early, is there?”

“But usually, it’s like that.”

An average tea party would consider it to be a virtue. So, she couldn’t believe that Molitia was adamant to arrive behind time. Lili just couldn’t conceal her anxiety right at that moment.

“As soon as they arrive, they should have some time to at least clear their astir minds. Plus, there are many things that could only be voiced out when the organizer isn’t present yet.”

“What are they?”

“Well…”

Molitia blurted out the end of her speech.

There was a beautifully decorated garden that could be seen from casting a gaze through the window. A magnificently constructed garden. However, this beauty couldn’t sustain properly without the great efforts from the gardeners.

“At the very least, we’d be able to determine what to do next.”

Only

Molitia finally murmured under her breath.

——————-

As time went by, the participants who had been invited to the party began to arrive—one after another. On behalf of Molitia, who hadn’t taken her seat just yet, the servants were serving them fiercely instead.

She deliberately placed some attendants at each table in order to quickly prepare what was needed for the said table, so that there wouldn’t be any inconvenience at all.

People began to wonder, why didn’t the host of the party arrive yet—but at the same time, they just couldn’t stop their own curiosity.
