“……”
I closed my mouth. It didn’t seem like Eldon would kill me or enslave me right this moment, but cutting out my tongue seemed entirely possible.
Hah, I shouldn’t have mentioned “remarriage”… Why is it that whenever I try to deviate from the original story, things only get worse…
Should I just give up on everything and follow the original story while drawing pictures to my heart’s content?
Eldon sat with his arms crossed and a hardened expression, while I endured the pain while watching for his reaction. The suffocating silence was harder to bear than the physical pain. I was even conscious of my breathing and exhaled quietly when the carriage came to a stop.
Finally, I’m saved. As soon as the carriage door opened, I quickly got out and bowed my head.
“Thank you for escorting me.”
The first night ceremony was basically something the bride did alone. There was no reason for Eldon to come along. But since the atmosphere strongly suggested he was going to enter with me, I quickly made the first move.
“I told you to keep your mouth shut. Bi.”
He spoke in an extremely ominous voice. Not only the waiting attendants but even Bill flinched and stumbled backward. The most surprised person among them was me.
“No one needs to attend the bath, everyone withdraw.”
Eldon carried me into the White Hall. Then he immediately stripped off my frock coat and nightgown, and removed his own clothes as well. As he was about to take me to the hall where the baths were, Bill rushed inside.
“I said not to enter.”
Eldon shot at him coldly. Bill’s body trembled again.
“However, according to etiquette, an attendant must serve…”
I mentally cheered for Bill as his words trailed off.
‘Don’t lose! Don’t back down to Eldon! Follow us in! Don’t leave me alone with this bastard!’
“Etiquette?”
Receiving Eldon’s cold gaze head-on, Bill trembled violently before holding out a small box in his hands.
“Your Highness the Crown Princess must offer the Prolain to the statue of Goddess Wersheen.”
“I understand.”
In the end, Bill gave up on etiquette.
‘No. Be a little braver! Follow us in! Cover your eyes like last time and come in! Don’t leave me alone with this obsessed madman!’
Despite my desperate wishes, Bill kept his mouth firmly shut, and Eldon pulled my arm. As soon as Eldon entered, he closed the door. Then Bill cried out plaintively.
“You must enter all three baths!”
I sent a pleading look through the gap in the closing door, but he turned his head away and resolutely looked away to the end. This irresponsible human! And you call yourself the head butler!
The door closed and only the two of us remained in the pure white space that seemed to allow no foreign matter.
As Eldon and I entered the pure white space, the door slid shut. As soon as Eldon released my arm, he shoved his fingers into my mouth and pulled on my tongue.
“Uurk.”
He shot me a cold look. Even making this much sound isn’t allowed?
“I’m thorry…”
I tried to apologize with unclear pronunciation, then realizing this was also talking, I just shut my mouth.
“What should I do with this pretty tongue that only says annoying things?”
“……”
Annoying? Did I curse at you? Did I talk behind your back?
“Rosenthal Chendewden.”
Eldon released my tongue and called my name.
“Don’t even dream of breaking off the engagement. I don’t let go of what’s mine or hand it over to anyone else. I’d rather destroy it with my own hands than give it to someone else.”
“……”
“You’re already mine, so unless you become a corpse, you can’t leave my side.”
[Rosenthal Chendewden’s death route has been confirmed!]
Against the background of the clock tower’s clear bell chimes, I seemed to hear an auditory hallucination of a game system notification appearing. But unfortunately, it wasn’t a fantasy but reality.
The main character has finally made his declaration. That the only ending for you is a brutal death.
“Why are you crying?”
I must have cried without realizing it from shock. In my past life, I hardly ever cried… I don’t know if it’s because Rosenthal has weak tear ducts, or if my heart has become softer after dying once. I tried to hold back the tears, but they welled up even more. I tried to quickly wipe them away with my hand, but Eldon swept my eyes with his thumb first.
“Don’t cry. Doesn’t it make me want to make you cry more?”
What is this psycho saying? Aren’t you supposed to comfort someone when they cry? Surprised and dumbfounded, the flowing tears suddenly stopped.
“Rosenthal Chendewden looks most beautiful when crying and clinging.”
It seems the meaning of “beautiful” that I know and the “beautiful” that Eldon knows are different. I clenched my fists, vowing never to cry in front of that bastard.
“First, let’s bring the Prolain.”
I nodded and roughly took the box Eldon held out. Anyway, with a dead ending already confirmed, there’s no need to watch that bastard’s moods. But even so, was that too insolent?
Though I rebelled for the first time, regret flooded in during the walk of less than 5 meters to the statue of Goddess Wersheen.
Whatever. What’s he going to do? The most he can do is kill me! I thought while watching his reaction and trying to open the box, but my hands kept fumbling. It wasn’t locked, but the structure was complicated and hard to open. Then Eldon approached and easily opened the box for me. And he took out the Prolain inside. Even though it was a flower, it somehow looked handsome. I’d seen countless Prolains over the past three days, but this flower had a special beauty of a different dimension. Of course, that’s why it was stored separately.
Eldon put down the box and handed me the flower.
As I bowed my head to receive the Prolain, Eldon placed his hand over mine.
“……?”
“Didn’t I tell you? This custom originated from Daudin and a Hyeon Tribe omega offering Prolain flowers together. So I must offer it together as well.”
Without giving me a chance to refuse, Eldon moved his hand, and I inadvertently followed him. We held hands and offered the Prolain before the statue of Goddess Wersheen.
Standing side by side in front of the statue like this, we seemed like a beautiful couple holding a simple wedding ceremony with only love.
A romance webtoon artist’s imagination is being exercised in useless places.
Get it together, Rosenthal. You’ve confirmed a dead ending and now you’re starting to run a happiness circuit that doesn’t make sense.
First, let’s wash. Let’s immerse my body in cold water and calm my head. Maybe a way to survive will come to mind. I was about to enter the bath with the Serian River drawn on it when Eldon suddenly wrapped his arms around my waist.
“Hyak!”
“Where are you going?”
I pointed at the Serian River with my finger. Then Eldon let out a chuckle and pulled on my lips.
“Say it with words.”
After confirming a death ending, you’re lifting the silence order now? You bad bastard.
“I’m going to immerse my body in the Serian River water.”
The words came out in a sulky tone without me realizing it. But I didn’t want to apologize. I’m going to rebel from now on. Then Eldon gripped my thigh threateningly hard.
“I intend to purify my body according to the ceremony procedure.”
I politely clasped my hands together and showed proper respect. Ugh, this damn cowardly fate. My rebellion doesn’t even last 30 seconds.
Eldon still looked down at me with cold eyes, then moved his fingers as if drawing a picture along the traces where semen had dripped down.
“Hseup!”
As his hand brushed my perineum, I tensed up and strength entered my legs. Eldon folded his eyes and tickled my perineum as if stroking a puppy’s chin.
“Haut, Y-Your Highness!”
My tense legs relaxed just as quickly. With nowhere to support myself, I clasped both hands and trembled when Eldon’s hand passed the perineum and headed toward my anus.
“If you enter with this kind of body, far from being purified, the sacred Serian River water will be defiled.”
My face turned bright red with embarrassment. But it was an accurate point I couldn’t refute.
Normally, I should have lightly washed my body before proceeding to the White Hall. Not with a body full of traces of intercourse like this.
“I apologize. I will wash before entering. It will take time, so Your Highness should return first.”
I bowed my head again, but Eldon took my hand and went in front of the Prolain bath. This was the only hot bath in the White Hall. Still, he’s letting me wash in front of warm water. I’m a little grateful. I’d be more grateful if he didn’t stare.
I turned my body away, avoiding Eldon’s piercing gaze. Then I gathered warm water in both hands and poured it over my legs.
After wetting my body by splashing water, I washed my perineum by rubbing it with my hands, and somehow I felt a strange sensation as my body twisted. Since coming to this world, I’ve had help bathing, but still, I’ve washed my own body all my life. It’s just touching myself, so there’s no way such a strange feeling would arise, and the cause must be that bastard.
“Your Highness, please restrain your pheromones.”
“Are you aroused?”
Yes. So don’t grin and leak pheromones. You bad bastard.
“…I will now enter the Serian River.”
Ignoring Eldon, I tried to enter the first bath containing Serian River water, but he grabbed my wrist.
“I knew this would happen. You’ve really become stupid.”
“……”
Aaaah! I want to let loose on him. But I held back, looking at the brightly shining red sword. However, the goal of this life is survival. Though it seems to have already mostly gone down the drain.
“Did I make some mistake?”
“‘This consort.'”
Yes, I give up too. Do as you please.
“Did this consort make some mistake?”
Eldon smiled with satisfaction and pulled me into his arms. Then he pressed down on my stomach. As pressure was applied to my abdomen, my insides churned.
“Don’t you need to empty what’s filled inside? Will you do it yourself? Or shall I help you?”
“…I’ll do it myself.”
What help, how embarrassing.
When I said I’d do it alone, Eldon also readily stepped back. And with his arms crossed, he stared intently at that area.
Ugh, that psycho pervert Elegy bastard. I swallowed my curse and fumbled my buttocks. I needed to expel the semen filled inside, but my finger wouldn’t easily go in. Just because I had my first experience didn’t mean I as a person had undergone a complete transformation.
“I’m busy.”
That’s why I told you to leave first, didn’t I? Urged by him, I brought my hand close to the swollen anus but hesitated without being able to insert it inside, when Eldon placed his hand over mine and entered inside directly. As my and Eldon’s index fingers penetrated simultaneously, my waist bent backward with a moan.
