CH ss - 12

Thank You Goddess

She hugged him and waited for the brain-shattering climax to pass.

“Hik…”

Nathaniel silently wiped the tears that flowed out her eyes from his lips.  The tumult of his affectionate movements gradually subsided.

Kyrie slowly opened her eyes. She could see the cloudy sky. But when the drizzle hit her eyes, she closed her eyes again. Her whole face hurt because she was frowning a lot.

“Ah…”

Her throat was hoarse when she heard her voice. She breathed helplessly.

Without showing his face to Kyrie, Nataniel had been hugging her for quite some time. Sometimes his body flinched as if he wanted to move more.

Soon he lifted himself slowly. Even with his back against the morning sun, his blue eyes were shining like jewels met her eyes. Still, the pupils were not human, but the gaze at her was clearly soaked in warmth.

[Does it hurt?]

That was the first question that came out. Kyrie laughed without realizing it.

“You said I wouldn’t get hurt…….”

[Just in case]

“Ha ha… You have so many worries…”….”

At Kyrie’s laughter, Nathaniel kissed her forehead briefly.

[Only for you.]

“Ah…”

Kyrie smiled brightly.

“That’s why I like you…….”

At that moment, the morning sun was slanting towards Kyrie’s face. Kyrie closed her eyes with a dizzying smile as if she was blinded by the golden sun.

Nataniel couldn’t help but think that God loved her. He raised his hand and tried to touch Kyrie’s cheek, but gave up and raised himself. The part that was still connected came out smoothly.

Kyrie closed her eyes tightly and felt Nathaniel touching her lower body. It looked like he was cleaning up her lower body. She also tried to raise her body, but soon stretched her stiff arms and legs as if she was about to have convulsions.

“What should I do…”

[What?]

“I don’t want to do anything…….”

[You were so nervous. Stay still. I’ll take you to your bed.]

Nathaniel gently stroked Kyrie’s pubic hair with his palm. The semen and love juice that had been tangled up to her perineum disappeared, leaving only a refreshed feeling in an instant.

He finally supported Kyrie’s back to help her move her upper body. Then he took off his coat and covered her naked body.

“Thank you.”

Kyrie leaned forward and looked around for no reason. Her scattered clothes and sunlight was shining on the lake and the sky was still a little cloudy.

Kyrie looked at Nathaniel who was dressed in the best outfit. The neat shirt was crumpled. It was a trace left by Kyrie who had grabbed him. His hair was a little messy, and his eyes were deeper than usual and on top of that his atmosphere was also exceptionally calm.

‘He is a person who wouldn’t be surprised no matter what one says.’

Kyrie gathered her toes out of awkwardness.

“Hey…”

She stuttered along.

“Maybe it wasn’t good”

[No way]

Nathaniel answered straight away. He put his hands together and lowered his gaze, and tilted his head with a rare blank expression.

[I just felt like I had a dream for a while]

“Do you see dreams, too?”

[No]

Can a person who was pushing her down so arbitrarily suddenly act like a child like this? Kyrie made a squeaking sound.

“You told me to pretend to have sweet dreams.”

[I was confident that I would give you a good dream.]

“Are you saying I don’t have the ability to do that?”

[My good dream is that you don’t run away from me. It’s a separate matter from your ability, and you won’t know until the dream is over.]

Kyrie laughed as if she was dumbfounded.

“Did you think I’d slap you in the face and run away when I was done?”

[Somewhat]

“I guess you’re scared of being beaten up by me”

She was trying to tease him to some extent. However, Nathaniel nodded with a sullen face.

[Yes]

This person really stops people from talking in this way. Kyrie licked her lips.

The appearance of Nathaniel staring at her silently was strangely ascetic even though her appearance was disorganised. Even though she knows she shouldn’t be fooled by his clean and good-looking face, it always weakens her heart.

“Your wife didn’t run away.”

Kyrie coughed a few times, then added a little. It was a word that took courage.

“It’s a little… No, it’s pretty good…… We did.”

At her words, Nathaniel looked faintly surprised. The most beautiful of all the blues in the world blinked slowly.

Nathaniel smiled very beautifully at that moment.

[I’ll probably live forever today]

It was a very gentle and rich smile. Nathaniel, Nathaniel’s shell, and some gigantic, cosmic monster beyond it seemed to smile at the same time.

It was the first time she felt that all of them, who had always been somewhat mixed with madness, had agreed. For some reason, Kyrie felt a phenomenal feeling, and her mind went blank.  She looked like she was about to cry.

“Do you really need to talk like you’re going to die soon….”

[Are you worried? If I die, you won’t be able to find a man like me]

“You really don’t give me time to be impressed.”

Kyrie smiled helplessly and punched Nathaniel in the stomach.

“Ah!”

Then her hands hurt and she began to shed tears.

Nathaniel laughed out loud because it was so cute. He soon stood up hugging Kyrie like a child.

[Let’s go in]

Kyrie dangled her legs and rested her body on his shoulder. A small warmth that was not even the size of a mouse warmed his heart. 

His heart with a ring matched with Kyrie.

Nathaniel kissed Kyrie’s forehead and silently thanked the goddess of the high place.

I’m sure you’re from God.

***

[I need a pain reliever or a muscle relaxant.]

Nathaniel put Kyrie to sleep and immediately rushed into Rubinia’s room.

Despite having many questions, Rubinia noticed everything and she immediately rang a gold bell.

I have it.  I’ll order someone to send you to your room.  And can I change the servant in charge for a while?  They are the children who take care of me, and they are the most reliable maids in the palace.”

[Of course]

He didn’t even say thank you and Rubinia also took it for granted.

“And… What would you do now? Are you going down to your mansion right after Buchanan’s funeral? If you’re still in the palace, I’ll assign you a separate palace.”

[To the star palace.]

Rubinia licked her lips and carefully rolled her luck.

“I’m sorry, but I’m also asking for this…., people passing by may get on her nerves… ”

[Nerves?]

“Yes…”

Do I really have to say this? Rubinia glanced at Nataniel.

However, Nathaniel seemed to be casually waiting for an answer, and Rubinia’s eyes were shaking with the desire to talk about anything because it seemed but speaking anything about it would be a taboo to him.

“It’s common for newlyweds to be touchy, so isn’t it polite to avoid people.…?”

The blue eyes shone like jewels in the sun. It was as if that word was a revelation to him. His consistently drowsy look brightened up.

[Ah]

Rubinia did not notice what kind of ‘ah’ that ‘ah’ was.

***

It was the day of the funeral. The ceremony took place in the same temple as the Cesar Buchanan funeral had taken place. It was a small, old, but elegant temple.

The temple was crowded with vassals from the Buchanan estate.

“He wasn’t as good as my predecessor, but he was a good person…….”

Someone muttered like that.

Kyrie stood with Nathaniel at the very back of the ceremony, wearing a black dress and covering her face with a black mesh on her hat.

Those with power are forced to have a different composure than others. People did not dare to approach the two people who had an arrogant atmosphere as if refusing to approach others.

Except for one person.

“Hello, I’m Edward Buchanan.”

He was a man in his mid-30s who seemed nervous. Seeing light purple hair mixed with brown, Kyrie let out a small exclamation.

“We’ve seen each other before, right? I remember it.”

“Yes. As the late Duke of Buchanan had no children, I became the next Duke of Buchanan.  Your Excellency has appointed me……….”

“Did I? I think I did.”

Come to think of it, it was the same that he had written a document saying that if there was no one to succeed Duchess Buchanan, he would hand over the family to Edward. Kyrie, who tilted her head for a moment, bent her eyes leisurely.

“Yes. Now Buchanan is yours.”

“Thank you. I’ll do my best.”

“Don’t worry because I’m not part of the family. You don’t have to pledge your allegiance to me. Instead, be nice to the young people I entrusted.”

“Yes!”

Edward replied confidently and stepped down. The envious gaze of the people around him followed his back.

Kyrie covered her mouth with her hand and whispered.

“What do you think?”

Nathaniel tilted his head slightly as he did with a habitual smile.

[So normal]

“Is that so? I wanted him to be like Bund.”

[Someone like that is not common.]

“Would you like to stop by Bund when we return?”

[Let’s do it ]
