The man who had been making a dying expression just moments ago, evoking sympathy, seemed to have vanished completely as he kissed her deeply and persistently.

Judith was startled by the sudden kiss and opened her rabbit-like eyes wide, then unconsciously closed them slowly.

The kiss after so long was rough but excessively sweet.

The passionate desire that crashed against her as if to devour everything about her was overwhelming.

Only when her breath became labored and her tilted head began to ache did she barely escape from his grasp.

“H-how can you… go so deep from the very beginning?”

Judith narrowed her eyes resentfully and complained irritably.

“You should give me time to prepare mentally. You need to take it step by step, what is this…”

“Hmm. Once you make progress, the pace naturally quickens afterward. That’s how it is in military science, and wouldn’t it be the same in romance studies?”

Ekian sat beside her and wrapped his arm around her waist.

Then he whispered with a mischievous expression.

“Didn’t it say something like that in those books you used to read diligently, like ‘How to Date Men’?”

At those words, Judith’s ears turned bright red.

Judith couldn’t hide her flustered expression and tried to escape his embrace, but his body heat only tightened around her more.

“Of course, I don’t know much either. That’s why I made quite a few mistakes.”

He curved his eyes into crescents and brought his lips close again, whispering as if amused.

“You seem to study a lot, so couldn’t you teach me some theory, Teacher Yus?”

“If you’re going to keep teasing me, I’ll take back what I said about staying by your… mmph!”

Judith’s mouth was blocked again. This was inevitably an unfavorable game.

Just moments ago he had looked utterly miserable, but now after one confession he was acting triumphant as if he’d arrived in heaven, which was rather annoying.

Nevertheless, she didn’t block his approaching body heat.

After all, he was the man she loved.

Though filled with absurd connections, all those tremendous things surrounded one man… and from now on, all those complex relationships would be converted to the simplest form.

“Hah, ha…”

After accepting him for a long while, she became overwhelmed and tears even formed.

Looking at her face that seemed exhausted from just kissing, he whispered.

“Huyd hasn’t left yet, right? Send him away immediately.”

“That’s what you’re thinking about right now?”

“Of course. When I think about you and Huyd wandering the market together like newlyweds, flirting with each other, my blood still boils.”

“Flirting, you say. We were just seriously going around as an economic community under one roof, looking for daily necessities.”

“That’s even more annoying.”

Ekian said with a furrowed brow.

“Anyway, can I ask Huyd later if marital relations are possible? He’s a doctor.”

“Wow. Really…”

Judith sighed genuinely.

“To think the father of my child has such a narrow mind…”

“If you don’t send him away, I’ll ask every single day, so keep that in mind.”

Ekian growled as he pressed his lips to her neck.

“Acting petty in front of other men is something I can’t fix even if you run away a hundred times.”

Judith let out a hollow, defeated laugh.

Ekian carefully placed his hand on her belly and asked.

“May I greet our child too?”

“Pardon?”

“Actually, I really… really wanted to greet them, but… I was afraid I’d burden you by using the child as an excuse. I didn’t want to give the impression that I was using the child.”

“This child doesn’t understand such things yet.”

“Still.”

Ekian stroked Judith’s belly with trembling hands.

Though it wasn’t very noticeable yet when wearing loose clothes, her rounded belly was definitely not the same as before.

“Do you have any names in mind?”

“No, not yet.”

Judith shook her head and said.

“Actually… I wanted to choose one together with Master. That’s why I haven’t picked one.”

“I see.”

Ekian gently stroked her belly. After thinking for a moment, he whispered tenderly.

“Let’s discuss it together from now on. I want to give them the most wonderful name in the world.”

Judith nodded shyly.

Even if this wasn’t the face of Master she had imagined, she knew this feeling of fullness in her heart was precious and unique.

Well, in a way, Kastin’s words about “hitting the jackpot” weren’t wrong.

Honestly, she hadn’t expected him to be more handsome than Ekian at all.

Ekian couldn’t bring himself to remove his hands from her body and slowly murmured.

“We have a lot to discuss. Including the wedding…”

“What? A wedding?”

“Of course.”

Ekian raised his eyebrows as if stating the obvious.

“We should have a wedding this time, shouldn’t we? Just vaguely passing papers and living together was enough for the last marriage.”

“Ah.”

“I didn’t even get to sign those papers.”

He was right. Ekian narrowed his eyes and declared.

“I haven’t done anything, so I’m going to do everything. In this marriage.”

“Ah, well… that’s true. I’ll respect that. You couldn’t even sign the divorce papers.”

“Let’s not go that far. Talking about divorce on such a good day.”

Ekian grumbled quietly and then chuckled again. He looked happy just being with her like this.

Judith slowly removed his hands that kept clinging to her and said.

“Anyway, let’s go out quickly. People must be waiting anxiously. How curious they must be.”

“Why worry about such things? A couple who met after a long time can have a lengthy reunion.”

“I’m sorry. I’m already too afflicted with Marquis’ wife syndrome to not care about such things.”

“Huh?”

“Will you entrust the education system reform to me? Teaching the children gave me quite a few ideas.”

At Judith’s determined words, Ekian let out another soft sigh and smiled.

Muttering what wasn’t quite a compliment about how being with her was the most fun.

“We’ll need to get rings fitted too.”

Ekian said while stroking her ring finger.

“I’ll give you the most wonderful ring in the world. Since there wasn’t one in the first marriage.”

“By that logic, there wasn’t a husband either. Stop obsessing over things that weren’t there.”

Half-listening to Judith’s words, Ekian kept reciting things about dresses and wedding gifts.

Since he showed no intention of getting up, Judith finally resorted to her last resort.

“Aren’t you going to the Marquis’ Estate?”

“Hmm.”

“According to Kastin, if we’re just careful, I’m already at a stage where marital relations are fine. No need to ask Huyd.”

“What are we doing?”

Ekian jumped up and lifted Judith into his arms.

“Let’s go quickly.”

Though Judith had successfully gotten him up as planned, she felt slightly anxious, as if she had dug her own grave.

“Ever since we did it once, I kept thinking about that day and it was so difficult.”

Ekian whispered in her ear.

“Actually, it’s been difficult since earlier.”

“What? Since when earlier?”

“Since the moment I first saw you.”

Feeling his gaze filled with desire and his body’s reaction, Judith let out a deep sigh.

“No way, even while we were having such important conversations, you were in this state the whole time?”

“Yes. This is the kind of man you married. For reference, that day I actually couldn’t do it properly because of guilt.”

What, that day was him not doing it properly!

How much she had suffered! How sore her entire body had been for days! She had even begged him to stop at the end!

“I couldn’t lose self-control in front of you, which is how things got to this point, but anyway, my thoughts were complicated back then.”

“What? Then now…”

“Of course I’ll be careful. But once our child is born and your body recovers… you should prepare to not be able to leave for several days. I’ve held back a lot, and it seems I’ll have to hold back a lot more in the future.”

Looking at her face filled with shock, he whispered with a wicked smile.

“Of course, even if you were deceived, there’s nothing you can do about it. This time I absolutely won’t divorce. There won’t be a second divorce in my lifetime.”

Since Judith also had no intention of divorcing twice, she ultimately decided to fall for this fraudulent marriage.

However, she couldn’t do anything about her ears turning red from the untimely lewd talk.

And so they left the Grey Information Guild.

Indeed, people on the street were waiting for them with eyes full of curiosity.

Fortunately, as Ekian had said, their conversation seemed inaudible, as everyone had bewildered expressions.

“Officially, all the barbarians have been subjugated.”

Ekian declared in a low voice while holding Judith in that spot. It was a brief explanation without unnecessary words. Instead, other words were added.

“Privately, the wedding will be held as soon as preparations are complete, for your reference.”

As soon as the word ‘wedding’ came out, loud cheers erupted.

Judith covered her face with both hands out of embarrassment. She was even more embarrassed because she was half-embraced by Ekian.

Nevertheless, sunlight poured in through the gaps between her fingers, and in the end, she couldn’t hide the smile that emerged.
