Chapter 5 - Whispers of Guilt (1/2)

“You’re going to be even later…….”

Ariel rested her chin on the table while looking at the letter from her mother that had arrived in the morning. It was a good thing. With the absence of her mother, she would be free to go to the annex at night. No, now she no longer needed to go to the annex. Ariel recalled what had happened last night.

Naked bodies, without even a single thread of yarn, were intertwined with one another.  Arsion’s giant member was placed between her legs, moving quickly back and forth on top of her vagina. Arsion unconsciously groaned lowly as he squeezed both her legs tightly together.

Then, unable to resist the rushing pleasure, she called out Arsion’s name, and white liquid sprayed over Ariel’s stomach.

“Hah….”

Just imagining what happened last night again made her body feel hot. Ariel fanned her face with her hands. That was not the end though. Ariel approached the mirror. Even though it was a little hot, she was wearing a button up blouse. As she unbuttoned the blouse down to the clavicle area, the skin underneath revealed several red marks.

“Oh my God …..”

One would think that they were prey to the animals. Not only did the kisses by Arsion leave marks behind, they were all over the place. It should have hurt, but she didn’t remember any pain, because he bit her when she was groaning as she peaked.

Ariel sighed as she undid another button.

Arsion was doing things she couldn’t have imagined a few days ago. The obscene acts that she questioned whether they could really do it at the beginning are now natural to them. It was as if they were playing together, just like when they were children.

So Ariel could now touch and covet Arsion without hesitation. Arsion, of course, could do the same.

‘There’s only one last lesson left.’

So far, she steadily taught Arsion and made him desire her body. But Arsion and she have not completely crossed the line yet.

Ariel once again recalled what the goddess’ demand was for those who were planning to dedicate themselves to her. It was the purity of the flesh. Purity of the flesh was defined by the temple as whether the body was a virgin or not.

Because she didn’t miss or skip a single section of the book, Ariel knew that the obscene things she had done so far hadn’t crossed the line for the definition of purity yet. Arsion was still pure, no matter how much he rubbed, bit, licked, and spilled it. Ariel felt Arsion’s release on her stomach.

‘Tonight is…….’

Now that I’ve done everything I can. Finally, today will be the day he and I will clearly join our bodies. When I imagined his big, thick pillar coming under me and stabbing me, my legs seemed to feel like jelly again.

‘It was sore.’

Everything so far has been so beautiful and enchanting just like in the book’s description. However, when it comes to one’s first time, it was written that penetration could cause severe pain depending on the differences between both parties. Of course, the book mentioned the most important things are the man’s skill and the size of his genitals.

‘Arsion has done everything well so far…… Will he be good at this?’

Then there wouldn’t be much of a problem. Everything she had shared with him so far was ecstatic and enjoyable, so she was sure he would do well till the end.

As she put her mother’s letter back in its envelope, Ariel found another letter in her pile of mail.

“It’s from Aunt Lucy, isn’t it?”

It was just a letter from another relative. Everyone referred to her as Aunt Lucy, because she was a relative of a distant cousin. Ariel opened the letter, curious to know what was going on. Ariel, who had been reading the letter for a long time, muttered.

“Come visit me once…….”

It was Aunt Lucy who lived in the same village as when Ariel was a child. Aunt Lucy, who wanted to accommodate people who want to buy a villa near the capital and take a rest, said that she would soon take over a quiet and beautiful villa, and she hoped Ariel’s family would visit before she started her business.

Ariel put the letter back in its envelope as well and put it on the table. She thought it would be good to talk to her parents about it when they came back.

Ariel tidied up the living room and went up to her room to reread <Things To Do at Night>.

“Let’s see…… The last one is….”

Ariel opened the final chapter. She started reading about what she had to do today. In fact, it was the section of the book that she most frequently visited and focused on ever since she first got her hands on it.

When she was young, whenever she peeked at a pornographic novel that her sister was reading, the main female and male characters would kiss, then caress and lie on the bed. From there, there was an unclear description of what they were doing.

A pillar of fire? Honey jar? Petals? Repeated forward and backward movements? After a little bit of digging, she found out more about it, but she only got a vague outline, everything was still foggy. It wasn’t clearly drawn out in her head on what those words meant.

But now with this book, she knew everything. Ariel looked intently at the picture that read <Missionary Position>.

‘This is usually the basics…….’

Ariel, who was looking hard at the explanation written for the picture, flipped to the next page. There was a picture that said <Doggy Style>. Ariel glanced at the painting, widening her eyes open as if she couldn’t bear to continue to look straight.

(QC/N: 후배위; Google Translate gave ‘Dominion’ instead of ‘Doggy Style’ but I made the decision after clicking on the images tab… RIP to my eyes.)

‘Can we actually do this?’

She had a problem imagining it and wondered if Arsion could do it. She was afraid she couldn’t imagine doing anything like this…….

The painting should be very similar to what she imagined. Ariel was in serious agony, but she heard a carriage stop from outside the window.

‘Who is it?’

Her father went on a business trip to a local estate, and her mother contacted her that she was going to stay at her sister’s house for a few more days. That meant that there shouldn’t be any reason why anyone would come to visit the house, so why the heck was someone here?

Ariel approached the window while pondering who it could be. When she looked down, her face became pale.

“…The Holy Knights?”

In front of Ariel’s house stood a pure white carriage pulled by a white horse. The carriage was studded with the words ‘Holy Knights’ on it.

***

“Um, I apologize as-, as this is all I have.”

Ariel liked that her mother was away on a trip, but at the same time, she cursed herself for eating all the cookies that were left. She didn’t know if there was any food left at home to entertain guests other than the old tea leaves.

It didn’t seem like she hadn’t eaten in the meantime, but when she thought about it again, it was all because she went to play at Arsion’s annex and ate it.

The man answered Ariel while bowing his head.

“No, thank you for meeting me despite my sudden rudeness, Lady Ariel.”

Ariel put down the teacup in front of the knight with trembling hands. Anyone could tell how nervous Ariel was at that moment by the clattering cup.

I can’t help but to be nervous. Who wouldn’t be surprised if the holy knights’ carriage suddenly stopped in front of the house?

‘In addition …’

Ariel looked at the chest of the man who sat across from her on the sofa. To be exact, she was staring at the swords embroidered on his chest.

‘The number of swords represent one’s position in the Holy Order. In apprenticeship, even a single sword cannot be attached to the chest, but once you officially become a holy knight, as the meritorious achievement goes up, the number of swords goes up…….’

Ariel’s eyes counted the number of swords. One, two, three, four…… five.

Hiccup.

The moment Ariel counted the five swords, she couldn’t breathe and hiccuped. Five swords. That number of swords could only be used by one individual in the Holy Order. Only the knight commander, the pinnacle of the Holy Knights, could have five swords on his chest.

“Kn-Knight Commander…… No, Your Highness the Third Prince……?”

Ariel was perplexed as to how to address him as she remembered that the current commander of the knights was also the crown princess’s brother, the third prince. As if he understood her predicament, he only replied with a smile.

“Just call me Aiden. I am no longer a prince, because the title of knighthood is the only valid title among the members of the Holy Order. And I had abandoned all worldly status when I entered in the name of the goddess.”

“Uh, how am I supposed to …….”

“Please, Lady Ariel.”

“W-Well, then Sir Aiden ……?”

Aiden nodded as if he couldn’t help it, knowing that Ariel couldn’t just call his name easily.

“Ah… What brings you to my house…….”
