In a short moment, numerous thoughts passed through my mind.

I almost nodded without thinking. That alone would have caused our lips to collide.

“No.”

Perhaps because I was nervous, my voice was colder than usual.

Cecilia’s eyes are colored with disappointment.

Slowly but slowly. As I watched her pretty face turn away from me, I wrapped my arms around her neck. I felt the soft hair between my fingers and the way her body trembled with tension.

‘Is it a bit high?’

I regretted taking off my heels and relaxed my arms. Then he took her hand and clasped it. As I take a step back, I feel the roots of a slightly tall tree.

‘good.’

As I touched her cheek with my right hand, I saw her quivering eyes, which were very pretty. Is this what it would feel like to throw a stone into a clear lake? I just pulled her into it.

Lips met lips.

‘…this. kiss.’

It was soft and soft. And I felt her fragrant scent.

first kiss. Since I don’t believe in love, I didn’t want to be with just anyone. To the most precious person. Even when I thought about it, I laughed at how needlessly girlish it was.

‘I tried it and nothing happened.’

I chuckled and spun around to get out of her arms.

‘This would be the perfect kiss, right?’

When I saw Cecilia absent-mindedly touching her lips, I felt like my fever was rising and I flopped down on the sofa.

“Marian.”

“Huh?”

“Can I do more…?”

A small voice asks while looking at me.

I burst out laughing at that cute reaction. It didn’t feel particularly good or anything like that. I could sense a faint strawberry scent, but that was it.

But it wasn’t difficult or unpleasant, and honestly, I felt like I could do it 10 or 100 times.

Still, it’s a kiss, but it’s a bit weird to spread it around like this, right?

“Okay.”

I dusted off my skirt and stood up.

At this time, I looked at her heart too lightly.

Her face slowly approaches. I heard the sound of drooling.

‘cute.’

She put her hand on the back of my neck as I did. The feel of my hair being smoothed and my slightly cold hands on my neck are refreshing and pleasant.

That’s exactly what I was thinking at the time. Lips met lips.

It was when a little nasal sound came out due to the soft touch and feeling of relaxation. Her lips covered mine. And then he slowly caressed my lips.

“…Ugh.”

I moaned again as the kiss was so careful and precious, yet so earnest, as if it were the most precious treasure in the world.

‘what’s this…?!’

It was completely different from any kiss I had ever had. Is it because my tremors were conveyed? Her hand gently stroked my back. Like, okay. Leave it to me. It seemed like he was saying that. With the other hand, he gently touched his ear. Instead of calming down, my heart beat faster.

“Ha…”

As the duke’s daughter, I don’t like it. I have lived a life where I can speak decisively. I was used to receiving favors from others and feeling envious and jealous, and honestly, I didn’t feel any emotions toward those people.

However, I didn’t hate kissing Cecilia. I didn’t want to go that far, but I was a little curious.

When I sighed, she kissed me again, as if giving me time to rest.

My legs were shaking. As I strengthened my hands to keep from falling, she also held onto me tightly.

“Now… . stop… .”

I opened my mouth with difficulty. For some reason, it felt like the tip of my tongue brushed with Cecilia’s.

Cecilia sat me down on the soft sofa, which was not suitable for the place next to the stump, and had my body lean against her.

“It’s a shame.”

-As she said that, she licked her lips. I felt my lips being licked by her strangely sexy appearance.

One thing I knew for sure.

To me, it’s too early to kiss. And, underage drinking is bad.

“Hmm.”

When I yawned without realizing it, Cecilia leaned my head against her and wrapped her arms around my shoulders. I felt like my heart was going to explode just now. I feel relaxed at the familiar body temperature.

“Sleepy?”

“ㅡA little.”

My eyes closed at the warm touch. I felt fatigue rising all at once. Moreover, the regular comforting touch feels like a very blatant way to grow and grow, so I guess I’m not strange.

“It’s okay to sleep.”

I opened my mouth in a daze. What I thought was that and what I actually heard was something. Of course, the sofa was soft and Cecilia’s arms were warm, so the cool wind that had been blowing had stopped blowing as if the barrier had already spread…

‘It’ll be okay if it’s just for a little while…?’

It’s been a while since I slept with him…

*

“Hehe.”

Seeing Marian sleeping soundly makes me smile.

To be honest, I thought my heart sank when I got rejected.

Is it because I have endured it? The kiss with Marian was so sweet and addictive. He was surprised at how he wanted to push her a little harder even when she was having a hard time.

Suddenly, my mother’s words come to mind.

‘Cecilia. It’s not okay to force people. Even if it’s someone you like and want to have. The more precious it is, the more it must be cherished and respected. ‘Okay?’

At that time, I didn’t know what that meant and blinked.

“Cecilia. Tell me please. Cecilia won’t do that, right?”

Then, my kind mother gave me a rare encouragement.

“Yes, mother.”

Why did my mother do that? Now I know.

But it is so precious, how can that be?

“Mmm. Soft…”

Hugging me gently in my arms. It was so lovely to see him snoring softly while adjusting his posture.

“Me too. Let’s sleep for a bit…”

Cecilia hugged Marian tightly and closed her eyes. Marian is in his arms. That fact alone made my heart swell.

* * *

In the end, I didn’t return home until the next morning.

Come to think of it, it was my first time staying out. A place other than home. Is it because it’s inside the academy? Or maybe it was because he was with Cecilia. It wasn’t bad for sleeping in a place that wasn’t even home.

“Hehehehehe… My lady is already staying out…”

The maids were making a fuss, but maybe it was because they were used to sleeping with Cecilia. I didn’t have any other thoughts.

“Umm…”

Just what comes to mind right now.

‘Is this a hangover?’

Of course, the bed wasn’t bad, but it’s a shame.

In my past life, I got drunk just from canned beer. Although my drinking increased, the alcohol I drank was expensive and strong.

I’m not feeling well so let’s lie down on the bed. The maids left the room only after carefully covering me with a blanket up to my neck.

It was after lunch when I opened my eyes again.

“Ha.”

How comfortable is it to sleep under a cherry tree?

After some reflection, I left the room.

“Miss, others are waiting.”

Emilia’s voice seemed hard.

‘Is it because of my mood?’

I hurried my steps.

Even though it was already well past lunch time, my family was waiting for me. I felt sorry, but I felt even more joy.

“Marian. Yesterday, you didn’t come home.”

However, my father’s expression was serious. It wasn’t the kind smile he always showed me.

“You. Haven’t you forgotten that you are the princess of the Duke of Arjan?”

My dad never stopped me no matter what I did. It wasn’t enough to be called yelling, but the voice was quite loud and I made a puzzled face.

I don’t know the exact reason, but my dad was truly angry. And that meant that he was worried about me that much.

Even though I was scolded, I lowered my head out of some strange feeling.

Come to think of it, it was my first time seeing my dad scold me like this.

Even though I’m scolded, I’m somehow happy. Is it because I thought so?

Suddenly, Dad gritted his teeth.

When I looked up in surprise, my father turned his head away as if he didn’t want to even see my face.

‘You can’t cry.’

Is it because I’m not used to being scolded? I lowered my head because I felt like tears came to my eyes just from that alone.

“That’s right, father. I think Marian was wrong about this.”

I looked up, startled by a voice as cold as frost.

My eyes were shaking wildly at the cold expression on Maria’s always kind face.

“Marian.”

Maria sighed lightly and took my hand.

“I was worried.”

“…I’m sorry.”

Now that I have changed my position, I think I understand.

If Maria drinks and stays out without contacting me, I will be worried.

“Marian. I also think staying out overnight is bad.”

Even Seria, who seemed to be on my side no matter what happened, was adamant.

I unconsciously turned my head and looked at Emilia.

“You did it wrong this time.”

She also had a stern expression on her face.

“…wrong.”

I lowered my head in reflection.

‘But I was with Cecilia…’

Did the apology work? When I saw my father again, his eyes were as warm as always.

“You just need to know. However, he is on probation for the time being. Do not leave the room until instructed to do so!”

“On probation?”

I was dumbfounded by the detention I received for the first time in my life.

And so the quiet meal began.

The meal was warm and delicious, as if a warming spell had been cast while waiting for me.

“Then, let’s go out.”

As soon as we finished eating, my father ordered me to congratulate him.

‘I thought you weren’t as angry as I thought…’

That was when I held on to the hem of my skirt at the sound of my father’s low growling voice.

“Let’s go, lady.”

Emilia held my hand. It was a friendly smile as usual.

‘Have you lost your temper?’

I breathed a sigh of relief.

*

Aden clenched his fists.

“…Dad?”

I was worried that this delicate child would be hurt by the word ‘restraint’, but Marian blinked her eyes cutely. Seeing that, I immediately wanted to cancel the term of probation.

‘The head of the family raised the young lady very carefully. ‘Drinking and staying out is bad.’

What Emilia said comes to mind.

‘Still, I think it was harsh to tell him not to come out of the room.’

But, this is education.

Arden opened his mouth with the feeling of swallowing bloody tears.

“Marian. Dad was disappointed.”

“…I’m sorry.”

But when I saw my daughter with her head down.

“…I’ll say it again. Please do not leave the eastern building until I tell you to do so. This is the family name.”

“Dongguan?”

Marian tilted her head.

Aden said no more. But throughout the meal, my hands were itching to pick up Marian’s favorite food.

“Then. Let’s go out.”

Perhaps because I had endured it so much, my voice came out more suppressed than I expected. As if holding back anger.

“…Yes. Dad.”

Aden swallowed his sleep as he saw his daughter turning around helplessly.

“Ugh. Marian…”

Maria and Seria, who were watching this, shook their heads.
