Ifa hands me a luxurious box.

“What is this?”

“The Empress Dowager asked me to deliver this to you.”

mother?

“Really?”

-Sharp.

So let’s open it…

“What about this? What is it?”

Something made up of long black sheer lingerie with very thin straps and small pieces of black fabric.

Among them, lift up a small piece of completely transparent cloth.

I’m not young, but I don’t know what this is.

Gorgeous gold embroidery is placed on luxurious black silk.

“This… really?”

what? Something similar to a bra but slightly different.

I think it’s too flashy to be called underwear.

“These are the words of the Empress Dowager to wear them today and greet His Royal Highness the Grand Duke.”

-gulp.

Silence comes with the sound of me swallowing.

I pointed to the piece of cloth with my finger at the incomprehensible words in my head, and then pointed at me. When Ipa nodded, I realized that what I had heard was true.

and…

“Aaagh! Mom too! How can I wear something like this!”

Feeling embarrassed and out of touch, my hands became weak and I dropped the box, my underwear falling all over the floor.

Ifa picks it up from the ground and shakes off the dust with her hands.

“As expected, the Empress Dowager… I think this is Jane Herbin?”

I ask with a trembling voice as Ipa says that she seems to know about this sexy underwear.

“Are you famous?”

Ifa nods at my words and says.

“Prince Antony once bought it for me as a gift.”

“Ah…”

It’s a secret from the public, but our whole family knows that Anthony and Ifa were dating.

Feeling pressured that the prince would be married to a woman who was not a nobleman, and following his father’s words that he would allow the marriage if his brother became independent and became a member of the Roman Empire’s Imperial Council, he pursued a career at the city hall.

Although it was only a few months ago…

A story that cannot be returned now.

Ifa, with short red hair, speaks with a resigned look.

“Your Majesty… I’m fine, so don’t make that face.”

“Still…”

We grew up like sisters.

That’s why my mother and Joy were so happy to hear that Anthony and Ipa were dating.

“Ifa…”

My heart becomes heavy at the fact that I had forgotten until now.

Ipa, who must have been in a lot of trouble, says with a mischievous smile that I am too busy.

“Your Majesty, when I think of Your Highness holding the unicorn horn tonight, shouldn’t I be more worried about you than about me?”

“Ugh… That’s…”

Unicorn horn.

When the first emperor, who had many wives, became discouraged because he could not satisfy all his women at night, Shamhat, the first empress, brought it from Lair and gave it to the first emperor…

The first emperor ate all of it and made all 32 of his wives pregnant in one day.

“When I was young. I heard from my grandfather that a unicorn was targeting my mother… but it was true.”

At my words, Ifa looks around and whispers in my ear.

“I heard that His Majesty the late Emperor used to drink it occasionally… If you listen to the words of the seniors who went in to change the bedding every time…”

I shout hurriedly because I don’t want to hear my father and mother’s embarrassing story.

“No! I don’t want to listen!”

I don’t want to know about my parents’ marital relationship.

“I also once thought it was strange where Prince Antony got it… It looks like he got it secretly from the Empress Dowager.”

I feel a little curious about Ifa’s words.

“That… was it good?”

Ifa’s face turns a little red at my words.

“Completely… It was crazy, I was held captive until the sun rose… It’s good, but it’s good. When I went to work the next day, it was really hard because my legs and back were so weak.”

-gulp.

Well, the two of you aren’t legally married, but I thought they were in a really close relationship…

Two people did it too.

Well, we love each other. That would be normal.

In comparison, when I think about my relationship with Debian, I just sigh.

“Phew…”

“Why are you sighing? Are you worried about the first night?”

I shake my head at those words.

“No… It’s just… We love each other. It makes me feel uneasy to have to write something like that.”

Instead of thinking about a romantic first night, I think about a beastly first night.

I kind of hate this.

To be honest, I feel like I love Debian.

No, I love you.

But that doesn’t mean I want to treat my first relationship with him like an animal.

“I’m a little like that too. How about asking His Highness the Grand Duke to hug you?”

Those words make me imagine something in my head.

Without fail, Debian and I were drinking wine while lying on the sofa looking at documents.

I look at Debian, who is quickly scanning the documents with dull eyes, then get up and approach him.

-Please hug me…

He looked tired from my words and looked at me intently.

His intense eyes seem as if they could burn the entire world.

Within.

He opens his mouth.

-Do you know how long I’ve been waiting for you to say that?

He spoke in a voice full of passionate emotions and then suddenly hugged me…

-Be prepared because I will pay you back today with interest what I made you endure until now.

As he said that and picked me up, I screamed in surprise.

-Um…it’s my first time, so please…be gentle.

But, as if he didn’t hear me, Devian picked me up and headed to the bed.

“Ugh…”

It’s not as bad as you think, right?

It’s better than I thought.

As soon as I think about it, I shake my head violently, shake off the delusion and say…

“Ha… But I already ate the unicorn horn?”

Ifa speaks as if she is thinking deeply about my words.

“From my experience, I remember that even if your energy increases, your reason remains. How about saying it nicely?”

Is that so?

“Uhm… But what about underwear?”

Ifa nods her head and says what I said.

“I think it will look good on your Majesty. Why not try it on?”

Complete underwear compared to the one-piece lingerie you usually wear to sleep.

“Will Debian like it?”

Ifa nods with a soft smile at my words.

“Of course. What man wouldn’t like seeing his beloved wife dressed up like this to welcome her husband?”

My face heats up at those words.

Is it because I have never worn anything like this in my life or seduced my husband?

This feels unfamiliar.

“Hmm… I’ll think about it.”

Ifa nods at my words.

“Yes, I’m sure you’ll have a good night.”

***

Fill the bathtub with water and lie down.

“Is this really true?”

-with a splash.

I get lost in thought like that.

I think I said it to my mother for no reason.

I’ve thought about sleeping with him a few times, but I feel pressured by my mother’s proactive actions.

I’m not the kid… nor the mother… I can take care of it myself.

“Ha… what should I do?”

Now that I’m dealing with him like this, I feel a little distraught.

“You’re really going to do it, right?”

In the past, I was reluctant to work with him. What can I say, I’m a little embarrassed right now… but should I say I’m looking forward to it?

“Hehe… Now that I think about it. I really don’t know anything about people.”

I used to hate him terribly.

The not-so-distant past.

Probably only a few months have passed.

At that time, I hated marrying him more than dying.

Why this fortress?

He feels so lovely.

His upright mentality and passion for burning himself for the people of the empire.

In addition, his intelligence is so deep that it is hard to tell how deep he is in various fields, and when I see his negotiation skills that pressure the wise and cunning politicians of the empire and sometimes make them anxious to get what he wants, I can see how skillful he is in dealing with them. It’s not easy to believe that they are the same age.

And wow… he’s not only handsome, but also trustworthy.

-Pisik.

I smile without even realizing it.

“But it’s cute.”

The last time I saw him shedding tears, something broke my heart.

It almost felt like someone was grabbing my heart with their hand and pressing it quickly.

Purity.

His innocence, different from other powerful people, stole my heart.

All the people in power I have seen so far took the war lightly.

My deceased father is no exception.

There is not much difference between Devian and my father when it comes to boldly going to war when war is necessary.

but…

Debian starts a war and blames itself.

His kind and pure heart felt guilty for sending so many people to war with his own hands.

“I thought he wasn’t like that at all.”

Is this an unexpected charm?

I don’t know if it’s because I discovered an unexpected corner, but it feels cute.

“So cute.”

When I think back to that time, I smile without even realizing it.

How long did you bathe?

Finish slowly and dry your body.

and…

I open the box my mother gave me, take out some skimpy underwear, try them on, and stand in front of the mirror.

“Aren’t you… too sexy?”

Is it okay to wear such sexy underwear on the first night? My face burns at the thought.

Black sheer fabric.

Undergarments embroidered with gorgeous gold thread.

“Ugh…”

I wait for him while looking at the wine and candles prepared in advance on the tea table.

How long did they wait? With that in mind, I look at the clock, and it’s still 1 am.

Debian, who is a workaholic, usually returns to the newlywed room between 2 and 4 o’clock.

“Ha… Do you really work all night on days like this?”

My heart is pounding like this, it feels like it’s going to explode… Devian, I guess you don’t?

I wait for Debian, who is running late, to come home, looking at the book his mother gave him.

I lost track of time as I read the detailed explanations on how to do things under the erotic illustrations.

Explicit illustrations.

Wow… men like it when you lick them with your mouth?

What to do with your tongue, how to be careful not to touch your teeth…

When pulling it out, should you strengthen your thighs and buttocks?

I felt like I learned a lot while reading it.

Let’s look at the clock and see that the candles we prepared have decreased by half.

Before I knew it, it was already 5 am.

“Whoa… It’s a lot later than usual…”

There will be a lot to do now that the war is over.

I decided to be a little more patient and wait.

and…

As the clock ticks towards 6 o’clock, I feel worried.

By any chance… you’re not sleeping in the Debian office, are you?

Probably not. He couldn’t be that stupid, right?

“Haha… I guess not… I guess not?”

I assume it won’t be like that and deny the reality and wait a little longer.

Soon after 7:30 am, I saw the sun rise…

– Snip!

The strings of reason break down and I change my clothes and run to his room.

And that day… It is said that Devian took the aphrodisiac and was so energetic that he worked all night.

Bad guy… you really are a bad guy!

“Hmph! Get hit by work and die!”
