While Aileen was completely distracted by him nibbling and sucking on her ear, his hand slid down to the front of her chest. With precise movements, he undid the buttons of her blouse one by one.
The blouse, which had been buttoned demurely up to her neck, was instantly a mess, gaping open. But as if he couldn't even bear to wait for the brief moment it took to undo the buttons, he roughly pulled the blouse apart on both sides.
The buttons he hadn't managed to undo were all torn off. Aileen cried out urgently at the sight of the buttons, which she had diligently sewn back on after they had fallen off recently, flying away.
"Ah, Your Highness, no, Cesare, ahh!"
But his hands didn't stop. Instead, he gripped both of her breasts tightly. He massaged her breasts, which barely fit in his large hands, like a plush rabbit doll, and continued to suck on her ear.
The moment the tips of his fingers pinched her nipples, Aileen gasped and arched her hips. As a result, she ended up rubbing her hardened center against his. She wanted to lower her waist, but her body involuntarily jumped every time her breasts were pinched, so she couldn't do anything.
She wriggled her hips as if she were rubbing herself against his center. Aileen, unaware of the lewd act she was performing, only panted and groaned.
Every time her breasts were tormented, she felt a strange tingling sensation down below as well. It was as if their nerves were connected.
"Haa, stop, breasts, stop it..."
She sobbed, pleading with him. Cesare opened his mouth and bit Aileen's cheek. After biting her apple-red cheek, he asked mischievously.
"You were wrong, Aileen."
"Yes, ahh, I, I was wrong, heu, euung!"
She begged for forgiveness without even knowing what she had done wrong. Finally, he released her hands. As the body pressing down on her from behind moved away, Aileen hurriedly gathered her arms to cover her breasts. But it was a meaningless gesture. His hands were already heading elsewhere.
The hem of her skirt was swept up. Aileen, sprawled on the sofa with her lower body exposed, let out a small scream. Cesare calmly continued, taking off her underwear.
"Don't say you're going to die so carelessly from now on. Got it?"
"Yes, I won't! Heok, underwear, no...!"
"It's too wet. You'll catch a cold if you wear wet clothes."
It was the same kind of nonsense Aileen had spouted when she said there were many interesting things in the bathroom. As Aileen hurriedly tried to get up, he took off her soaked underwear as well.
The fabric that had been clinging to her fell away. The small piece of cloth slid down her legs. As the last of her underwear was removed, Aileen gave up trying to get up and covered her face with her hands. Her neck was completely red as she whispered.
"Don't look..."
But she could feel his gaze intensely. Below her plump buttocks, her most private part was slightly exposed. Her wet flesh trembled as it came into contact with the air.
Without realizing it, she tensed her lower body, and a sticky substance slowly flowed down her thighs.
Cesare was silent for a long time. He cleared his throat, sounding troubled.
"You couldn't have done it yourself."
He let out a light breath. Aileen trembled as the breath directly touched her sensitive area.
"Who did it for you here?"
At first, she didn't immediately understand what he meant. Then, she realized what he was asking when he urged her for an answer.
"Huh? Aileen."
It was extremely embarrassing to reveal the secret of her most private body part to him. Aileen confessed in a voice so small it was almost inaudible to the man who had been staring between her legs since earlier.
"Originally... I didn't have any..."
Her delicate area was exposing its smooth flesh without any covering. It was the smooth secret she didn't want to show him.
Even after puberty, she didn't grow any hair on her armpits or down below. At one time, her different appearance had been a serious concern. But since it was an area she would never have to show to others anyway, she had intended to keep it a secret forever.
But now, Cesare, of all people, had found out. The person she wanted to hide it from the most.
'There's no such thing as an eternal secret in this world.'
Aileen despaired inwardly. She would have to show it to him eventually after they got married and consummated their marriage, but she still wanted to hide it as much as possible.
She tried to hide her lower body from his sight right away, but it was impossible because his large hands were firmly gripping both sides. Aileen almost sobbed as she pleaded.
"Could you please stop looking now...?"
She was showing Cesare her aroused and glistening lower body. It was a moment that was hard to believe even in a dream.
Moreover, the longer his silence and gaze lasted, the more her body twitched. She would have nothing to say even if she was branded as lewd.
'But my body is doing this on its own.'
If Cesare hadn't touched her breasts, hadn't sucked on her fingers, if he hadn't touched her at all, she could have maintained her chastity.
'This is all Grand Duke Cesare's fault.'
While she buried her flushed face in the sofa and diligently blamed him, something was happening behind her that would have made Aileen faint if she had known. Cesare, who had slowly knelt down, brought his lips to her lower body.
Aileen, who was sobbing in shame without knowing anything, gasped. It was because of the lips that had touched and then left.
Unbelievably, it seemed that Cesare had kissed her there. Aileen didn't dare to turn around. She trembled as she lay face down and said.
"Don't do that... It's dirty there..."
She tried to persuade him that he shouldn't do such a thing, but for some reason, her words seemed to stimulate Cesare even more. He kissed her again instead. She heard him chuckle.
"You're beautiful, Aileen."
Aileen pursed her lips at his compliment. It was because she had foolishly felt good as soon as she heard the compliment. Her heart melted at the single word "beautiful."
She kept feeling strange sensations, so she kept tensing her lower body.
It was never a violent movement. But as the sensations accumulated steadily and persistently, it became even more unbearable. Her body, which had been soaked in a faint excitement all day, could no longer withstand the pleasure.
A sensation similar to what she had felt that night, but even greater, washed over her. Aileen parted her lips and gasped for breath.
"Heuk, eut, ah, Cesare, this, this is really strange..."
The slow sensations that had been continuing steadily accumulated to the point where she could no longer avoid them. Aileen, not knowing what to do, tore at the fabric of the sofa and squeezed her eyes shut. She dug her fingernails into the sofa with all her might. The muscles in her entire body tensed, and a tingling pleasure exploded from inside her lower abdomen.
"Heuaaa...!"
Once the sensations that had tormented her for so long exploded, there was no end to them. The pleasure that washed over her body several times like waves was agonizing.
"Stop, it hurts, ahh..."
The excessive pleasure was painful. Only when Aileen begged with tears in her eyes did Cesare finally release her.
Aileen collapsed on the sofa as if she had been emptied. Her body twitched intermittently. Cesare wiped her wet lower body and then held Aileen in his arms. He sat on the sofa, holding Aileen as he had done at the Grand Duke's Residence today.
Sitting together on the small sofa, they were all stuck together, creating a cozy feeling. Aileen leaned against him for a moment, then quickly pulled away as she felt something. She looked at him with bewildered eyes at the volume she felt under her buttocks.
Cesare's center was clearly outlined over his pants. His red eyes, slightly flushed with excitement, also glistened with desire.
But Cesare didn't do anything. He just held Aileen still.
Why wasn't he relieving his sexual desire? Just as he had made her feel good, Aileen also wanted Cesare to satisfy his desires through her. Aileen hesitated and spoke hesitantly.
"Can I do it for you? I'm not very good, but if you teach me..."
In fact, she had no confidence at all. She wondered if he would feel satisfied with her clumsy touch. But she wanted to do it somehow. She wanted to see Cesare feel good.
But as she carefully reached down, he grabbed her wrist.
"You're saying dangerous things again so carelessly."
Cesare gripped her wrist as if suppressing something for a moment, then lightly released his grip before Aileen felt any pain.
"We're not married yet, Aileen."
Considering that, he had tormented her lower body as he pleased.
But Cesare tried to gloss over it while fiddling with Aileen's hand. He only said strange things to Aileen, who wanted to know the reason.
"I don't want to scare you."
Cesare smiled meaningfully. As if he had something that would make her run away if she saw it before the wedding.
"Aileen!"
Senon excitedly threw open the door. But Aileen had already left. Only Diego was smoking, with the reception room window wide open.
"...Hah."
Senon openly showed his disappointment. He had been diligently working at the Grand Duke's Residence when he belatedly heard that Aileen had come and rushed out.
But Aileen had already returned home with Cesare a long time ago. Senon, who had missed the opportunity to meet Aileen, despaired, pulling at his hair with both hands. Then, he resigned himself and staggered over to Diego, who was sitting on the windowsill and chuckling.
"Give me one too."
"Giving up on quitting?"
"Temporary suspension."
Aileen knew Senon was a non-smoker. Wanting to make a good impression on Aileen, he had inadvertently lied that he didn't smoke, unlike the other knights.
Since then, he had tried to quit smoking several times to make his lie a truth, but only the record of temporary suspension of smoking was increasing.
Senon took a cigarette from Diego's cigarette case and snatched the cigarette that Diego had in his mouth. After lighting his own cigarette, he put it back in Diego's mouth.
The two smoked in silence for a while. Senon was the first to speak.
"I heard you cut your bangs? And took off your glasses."
"Yeah. But Senon."
Diego narrowed his eyes and inhaled the smoke before exhaling.
"We've always thought that the reason the young lady covered her face was because of the kidnapping."
"...That's right."
After the kidnapping incident at the age of 12, Aileen suddenly wore glasses and covered her face with bangs. Everyone assumed that Aileen's change was due to the shock of the kidnapping. So they deliberately didn't mention it.
"But it wasn't."
Diego's eyes turned cold with a chilling light. He chuckled and said.
"The dead Lady Elrod. She was much more of a crazy bitch than we expected."
