She was busy preparing for the wedding and serving state guests, so she forgot, but her heat didnât come. Rowena, who was agonizing, shook her head.
Maybe it came, but I didnât knowâŠ
In the early days when she became addicted because of the poison, Cecil coveted her day and night. He would play around all night, have s*x with her again in the morning, and even come back and do it when he had a little free time while at work.
Rowena fanned her face with her hand because the memories heated up her face when she thought about it.
âIs your fever coming up already?! Should I send someone to come quickly?â
âN-no. Itâs just⊠Iâm not in a hurry, so they can take their timeâŠâ
They had to send someone to Cecil anyway. Cecil was the only one who could release Rowenaâs poison.
âYour Highness must be in a hurry, right?â
ââŠâ
Almost every time he was called, Rowena turned red to the tip of her head, recalling Cecil, who ran that long distance in five minutes.

Rowena dug into Cecilâs arms.
She loved the moment Cecil embraced her in this way after s*x. Her heart was pounding and she even thought that there were only two of them in the world.
ââŠYou keep crying but youâre pretty when you do so.â
Cecil murmured as he wiped her eyes. Tomorrow was the wedding, and he seemed worried.
âItâs all because of Your Highness.â
âShould I take responsibility?â
She giggled and kissed Cecil briefly.
As Rowena clung to his chest, the corners of Cecilâs mouth rose. He was so happy that he even felt a chill.
âYes. You have to take responsibility.â
Cecil seemed to melt mushyly in her whisper.
âYes, I will make you happy for the rest of your life⊠Does this make me responsible?â
Whispering in a low voice, Cecil poured kisses on Rowenaâs lips, cheeks, and nose. Rowenaâs mouth leaked a thin smile and the kiss continued throughout her body.
Rowena thought it was fortunate that she chose a dress with a neck-length design as her wedding dress. She just chose it because it was pretty, but it was appropriate for the current situation.
The warmth seemed to come out of Cecilâs touch caressing her body. Rowena sighed languidly and hugged Cecilâs head. Cecil groaned low and whispered as Rowenaâs fingers scoured the neckline along his hair.
âI think Iâll get excited again if I touch you moreâŠâ
The lips that licked her chest sucked in the soft skin and left a kiss mark. Rowena pouted her lips.
âYou wonât let me touch you.â
âBut I touch you.â
Smiling, Cecil hugged Rowenaâs waist and kissed her flat stomach. When he bit lightly with his lips and licked it with his tongue, Rowenaâs mouth also leaked laughter as if it was itchy.
âYou said that you would always welcome me to fill you up?â
âA-at that time, you were harassing me⊠I canât do it⊠Aheuk!â
âShall we try again now?â
She shook her head as he grabbed her knee and spoke in a subtle voice. Her legs were already weak, but if he hugged her more, she would have to be carried into the wedding hall in Cecilâs arms.
Cecil smiled as he kissed Rowenaâs thigh.
âYou really canât?â
Rowena breathed slightly at the strange touch that swept up her thighs.
âI really canât. I want to kiss you more than you doâŠâ
Cecil clicked his tongue, but climbed back to Rowenaâs seat and hugged her tightly. Her lips were sweeter than ever.

While planning to run away with Liliana, Rowena selected five places.
She said she had two places selected, but she had researched other places in case conditions werenât favorable there.
The Northern Duchy was the place Rowena had in mind. While explaining the place, Rowena warned Liliana in various ways.
First of all, she should never show her face where noblemen go to and from the capital. In addition, she said that her golden hair must be dyed a different color.
So Liliana dyed her beautiful blond hair brown. It was because it was the same color as Rowenaâs.
âIt may be very uncomfortable, but⊠you stand out, so itâs better to be careful until time passes.â
She should have kept that word clearly. However, she encountered an aristocrat in the temple where they had a small wedding.
On the same day, it was clear that the knight belonging to the Duke Family also signed a marriage pledge with a lady. Maybe since he was the Dukeâs favorite knight, the Duke himself accompanied them to the temple to testify.
There were also witnesses to Liliana and Kianâs marriage. It was the guard and the neighboring residents that they got to know while working.
The guards recognized the Duke and immediately took the courtesy.
So did the others in the temple. Liliana hurriedly covered her face with the brideâs veil, but it was already after some of the dukeâs vassals had seen her face.
They seemed to hear whispers that she was too beautiful to be the wife of a mercenary.
