Due to our differing views on Marius, we remained unreconciled until the wedding day itself, treating each other with cold business-like courtesy as we greeted the guests. Glen submitted his leave request in advance, claiming that watching the wedding would make his blood boil, so he and Eri would go get some fresh air. The ceremony proceeded as planned, conducted in the Largol tradition.
Since it was a Largol-style wedding, even the ceremonial attire differed. The bride’s side wore nothing particularly different from the wedding dresses commonly seen in Aleine, so there was nothing especially striking about it. But the groom’s outfit that Lucilucil wore was… oh… my… Largol’s clothing culture was really… just… too magnificent.
The moment I beheld Lucilucil in that form-fitting white tunic worn bare-legged, I exhaled sharply with excitement, but I maintained my composure with utmost effort. If I showed how much I liked it, Lucilucil would seize the moment to tease me. We’d already quarreled over Marius, and if I showed affection upon seeing that scandalously suggestive outfit—which reminded me of Marius—Lucilucil might grow even more upset.
I had to restrain myself. Restraint was key. I felt nothing whatsoever upon seeing that indecent garment with its hem trailing past the ankles, tempting me to tear it away and glimpse the skin beneath. That was simply how it was. If that’s what I felt, then that’s the truth. I harbored no lustful thoughts whatsoever. Besides, my partner was no mere divorced man in his mid-thirties. Lucilucil had already been married three times, and now a fourth time to me. To feel lust toward such a man was absurd. I certainly hadn’t sensed that mature pheromone-like aura that seasoned men possessed.

Or so I had once believed.
“Rosalite, what are you doing? Wait, wait—there are people outside…!”
The moment the High Priest finished his ceremonial address, I received the guests’ congratulations and made my exit, saw to the reception, then immediately dragged Lucilucil into the nearest guest room and pushed him onto the bed.
I’m going to undress him. Right now. I’m going to slowly pull up that white, billowing fabric wrapped snugly all the way down to his ankles. I’m thrilled. Hehe, a wedding rendezvous! A wedding rendezvous!
“Stop this at once! It’s still broad daylight!”
“We’re married now—what does day or night matter?”
“There’s such a thing as atmosphere, and besides, we’ve prepared things in the room for tonight.”
“We can do it again at night!”
“What manner of beast are you!”
Did I look like someone concerned with atmosphere right now? I cared nothing for day or night, and I had no leisure to worry about the scandal of the bride and groom vanishing during the reception.
And for good reason—I’d been holding back tremendously! Disgustingly so! You have no idea how much extraordinary patience I’ve exercised waiting until now!
I hastily unbuttoned my own Largol-style wedding attire. If I’ve expressed it to this degree, surely you understand.
“I’ve been restraining myself since the Imperial Palace Bath until this very moment. Please acknowledge my effort.”
Heat naturally rose in my breathing, and Lucilucil covered his face with both hands.
“Do you possess no sense of shame?”
“I’m merely stating facts—what is there to be embarrassed about?”
“You said you were too embarrassed to tell me you loved me.”
“That was different—Mother and Papa were there. Leon too. With the whole family present, there are limits to how shameless one should be.”
“So I’m your second choice?”
“Did that reach outside?”
“No, well… I wasn’t trying to listen.”
“Of course not. With Glen, there’s the history and affection we’ve built over the years.”
“Hmm…”
What was this man thinking to make such a suggestive expression?
Lucilucil, pinned beneath me, lifted his legs smoothly. Since the tunic had no side slits, the garment slid right up.
“Does that mean, given enough time, I could become your first?”
“What about Glen the Prince all this while?”
“Gazelles typically have short lifespans, so that’s fine.”
This rascal, saying such cunning things. But personally, I harbored a wish for Glen and Lucilucil both to live peacefully by my side until we were all gray-haired together, so I scolded him for his inauspicious words and gave his backside a sharp slap.
Then I discovered something of peculiar form.
There was something beneath the tunic. This seductive Lucilucil had adorned his thighs with something scandalous. What was that? A string? Lace? A garter? Had that garter-obsessed Violet been meddling again?
“Lucilucil.”
“Why?”
“You’ve only been married three times, yet you’re wearing that. Why?”
“I don’t know. That maid you’re always with said I should wear it even if I die, so she just put it on me and left.”
“Ah….”
Of course. The culprit must be Violet. I sometimes wonder why she keeps trying to fulfill her desires through my husbands.
“Do you know how to use this?”
“I’m not sure. Does it even have a purpose?”
Isn’t it just worn because it’s pretty? I inwardly cheered at Lucilucil’s words. Long live cultural differences! Come to think of it, when I married Glen, I was too busy with work to do anything like that, so I never had occasion to use it anyway.
That Violet, she must have prepared this so I wouldn’t feel left out. How thoughtful of her.
If a husband doesn’t know something, it’s the wife’s duty to teach him. I moved willingly with the mindset of imparting wisdom to Lucilucil.
“….”
Lucilucil seemed flustered, his entire body going rigid. Watching him stiffen so completely, I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Pfft, hehe.”
I pulled the cord down, and there were contours on Lucilucil’s body I hadn’t noticed before.
“This typically signifies that this person’s chastity is claimed by me.”
Suddenly my vision tilted. Unable to hold back, Lucilucil had knocked me over.
“What kind of woman does this!”
“It’s still daytime, and there are many people outside, so I thought we weren’t doing this?”
“Don’t be angry. Be honest with me. How many have you met so far? I don’t have any other intention—it’s just that if those guys come at me now, it takes effort to intercept them.”
“To be honest, I’ve only kissed Glen and Lucilucil. Please take pity on me.”
“But how did you become so bold!”
You should ask your own body, not me!
Even if he’s rotten, he’s Marius’s brother, so it was unexpected that Lucilucil’s body was so striking. Mmm, there’s nothing large to grab, but mmm, he’s like a sculpture, and mmm, I wish he’d wear only form-fitting clothes for the rest of his life. Hehe.
While Lucilucil was kissing me, I felt the contours of his chest through the thin fabric. This is more than enough. It’s a body too good for me. Krkrkr. From today on, this is mine.
“Your hands are being quite cunning.”
“How else would I accomplish the deed without a cunning heart?”
“You’re obsessed with the chest.”
“I won’t deny it.”
I like that outfit, so don’t take it off. It suits the moment better. Largol wedding attire is the best! To be able to do as I please with such an expensive outfit—even I, being wealthy, am the best!
“Wait, don’t be impatient. We should make preparations, shouldn’t we?”
Hehehehe, as if I, Rosalite Rocksburg, would overlook that. I pulled Lucilucil close and whispered in his ear.
“I’ve already made the preparations.”
I did all sorts of things by myself beforehand. As I explained the detailed process step by step in his ear, the man gripped my shoulder tightly and bit his lip.
“Why… are you doing this to me…”
“Didn’t you say I have a talent for teasing?”
I explained the current situation in detail and pressed my face against Lucilucil’s cheek. I felt the heat radiating from him.
“You’re very adorable, Prince Lucius.”
Lucilucil flinched, then his face immediately contorted. Oh no, Prince Lucius is angry, what do I do!
As I laughed and teased the man, Lucilucil gritted his teeth and warned me not to regret this later. I provoked him, saying I looked forward to how he’d make me regret it, but the man clamped his mouth shut.
Knowing why he was angry and why he was so intense, I couldn’t help but laugh.
If someone were to notice and knock on the door, if they were to open it out of curiosity, all hell would break loose.
It wouldn’t quite be a scandal, but word would spread about what the Rocksburg Minor Duchess Couple had been doing during the banquet, and they’d become famous as a remarkably vigorous and improper pair.
Since this would give Lucilucil more ammunition to tease me with, I chattered away enthusiastically until he finally silenced me by covering my mouth.

After that, we remained together for over an hour. In our current state, we couldn’t possibly go back outside, so we crawled to the door and summoned a maid to attend to us.
The maids who answered our call offered their congratulations upon seeing us collapsed in exhaustion, though they couldn’t hide their bewilderment—as if wondering, “Was it really necessary to go this far?”
Well, you see, once we started, we got competitive with each other. One “surely this won’t tire us out” led to another, and before long, we’d both completely exhausted ourselves.
In any case, we’re equally stubborn about refusing to lose!
“Huff, huff. You said you were confident in your stamina. Doesn’t seem like much.”
“Don’t talk. I had to crawl to call the maid. You were the one who couldn’t move at all.”
“I wasn’t unable to move. I chose not to.”
“Your mouth is all that’s alive. You’d float with just your mouth if you fell in the sea.”
“Don’t mention the sea. I’m sick of it.”
Yes, I suppose you would be sick of it—every time you cross the sea, something happens. You’ve even fallen in twice. Though that was all my doing.
With the maids’ help, Lucilucil and I managed to freshen up, and we returned to the banquet with gaunt, exhausted faces to exchange pleasantries.
Whether anyone noticed anything about us or not, people said nothing, but Jack Brown alone muttered something as he passed by us.
“Beasts.”
Tsk, they say everyone’s a beast eventually anyway. You’ll understand it all when you grow up and get married someday.
I gave Jack a knowing smile and finished out the wedding schedule to the end. Then, when night fell, we went to Lucius Palace, which Lucilucil had prepared with various arrangements, and indulged ourselves thoroughly.
I’m a dutiful minor duchess who keeps her promises. Just because we did it during the day doesn’t mean we wouldn’t do it at night. Lucilucil and I rolled around all through the night.

◇ ◆ ◇

“Kyaaaaaaah!”
I should never have married Lucilucil! I should never have married him!
With a sickening crunch, I screamed while clutching my pierced ear cartilage. So that’s why he said he didn’t need a wedding ring—he was planning to pierce my ear! He was going to do it the Largol way!
Since the Pope was absent, the earrings blessed by the High Priest were placed on both Lucilucil and me. Unlike rings, earrings can become infected if you’re careless, the pierced hole can close up, and they’re an absolute nightmare to maintain—so Lucilucil’s lengthy sermon about how they were perfect as a symbol of marriage was genuinely horrifying.
