Chapter 76(Bonus) Part 2: Happily Ever After

A clear sky. A tranquil winter forest landscape.

A small, pretty cabin.

It was a fairytale-like place.

The morning of a silent forest.

The faint sound of birds could be heard.

Caron, waking up, slowly opened his eyelids.

As always.

He checked the warmth he was holding.

The body in his arms was soft.

Wavy silver hair, delicate features.

A sleeping princess.

Rosa stirred slightly.

“Mmh…”

A moment later.

Her silver eyelashes lifted.

Their eyes met.

“Did you sleep well…?”

Caron’s question.

“…Yes.”

Rosa was like a cat that had just woken up.

For a moment, the two were silent.

In the lingering languidness of the morning.

The two gazes looking at each other were filled with unspoken affection.

This short break was all thanks to Duke Anencia.

[Have some time alone together. You’ve both been working hard, haven’t you?]

Their positions being what they were.

And with the added issue of childcare.

They had little time for each other.

Rosa accepted the Duke’s advice.

Half-grateful, half-worried.

That was how she felt.

Ronan, who would soon be three, showed rapid development.

He easily understood simple sentences and the concept of time.

[You’re only going to sleep for two nights?]

His bright, eager eyes came to mind.

“I miss him. Ronan…”

Caron smiled and agreed.

“You’ll see him tomorrow.”

“That’s true.”

Rosa’s face was filled with a mixture of longing and anticipation.

She wanted to see Ronan soon. At the same time, this time was precious. Time alone with Caron was rare.

It was a happy dilemma.

In Caron’s wide embrace, she mulled over yesterday’s events.

Rosa’s face turned red.

It wasn’t just because of yesterday’s memories.

“Mmh, ah…”

It was a sensation that couldn’t be a mere illusion.

Perhaps it was because of the faint morning sunlight. Or maybe the room was warmer than she thought.

Her face was like a ripe tomato.

The two of them under the covers were completely naked.

The clothes strewn about haphazardly proved the events of the previous night.

It was a trip to mark their first night together.

A long-awaited time alone.

Rosa had provoked Caron first, and she paid the price dearly.

Her whole body ached.

She had fallen asleep almost out of exhaustion.

“Are you… not tired..?”

Caron chuckled and whispered in her ear.

“I have to live up to someone’s expectations.”

That voice filled with laughter.

Rosa, embarrassed, replied.

“Who? I don’t know.”

“If you don’t want to, I’ll hold back.”

Caron was surprisingly bold.

A cool desire could be felt.

Caron’s gaze was hot.

“Hold back… you say.”

Rosa was like prey caught in a trap. A herbivore offering its neck.

Her whole body ached, but she finally answered.

“I don’t… dislike it.”

She truly didn’t. She was even excited.

Memories of last night, when they were completely engrossed in each other, came to mind.

‘He’s a man in his prime.’

Caron was a young man in his mid-twenties.

He was also physically stronger than most.

Rosa found Caron to be a handful.

But she also liked it.

‘It’s still morning now, but by the time I come to my senses, it’ll be afternoon.’

She couldn’t get used to that intense pleasure.

‘But…’

It wasn’t that she disliked it, and it was closer to liking it.

A woman’s heart was complicated.

‘What am I thinking.’

If you like it, you like it. If you don’t, you don’t.

In the end, Rosa liked it.

Caron was her other half.

Rosa was always grateful.

Caron had officially declared.

[I will not take any other concubines.]

One fact was clear.

Rosa was the only woman.

At least to Caron.

So, of course, their relationship would be passionate.

Especially her provocation last night had a tremendous effect.

‘Maybe I overdid it a little.’

Even Rosa thought so.

So. It was.

Just what happened last night.

A land where volcanic eruptions occurred in the past.

Maryland, a fertile land.

Famous for its flowers and perfumes in the spring.

And for its open-air hot springs in the winter.

Rosa and Caron arrived at that famous resort.

There was a small festival.

They bought delicious food.

They strolled along the beautiful beach.

The pink seawater beach was breathtakingly beautiful.

‘It was a bit cold, though…’

It was winter, after all.

It would be strange if a winter beach wasn’t cold.

But her hands were always warm.

Because she was always holding Caron’s hand.

After exploring the city, the two finally entered the cabin in the evening.

“It was nice, wasn’t it?”

“Of course.”

Like any tourist destination, there were many sights to see.

‘But what I really enjoyed was…’

The fact that she was with Caron…

Even if it wasn’t a trip like this. Even if there were no beautiful scenery.

Rosa enjoyed their time alone together.

Caron probably felt the same way.

Excitement. Anticipation.

A subtle tension filled the air.

A richly laid table.

Food bought at the night market.

During the cozy meal, Rosa was busy thinking.

She had a plan.

As the meal was almost over.

Rosa rose from her seat.

Her heart was pounding so hard it was becoming difficult.

“…Do you want to wash up first?”

Night was approaching.

“Sure.”

Nodding, Caron entered the bathroom first.

While he was taking a quick shower, Rosa gathered some things.

Bath salts, perfume.

And.

“…”

Her mouth was dry with nervousness.

‘Do I really have to go this far?’

She had such thoughts.

But Rosa had made up her mind.

‘Yes. Let’s do it.’

She busily gathered the items.

Hidden inside a towel.

After Caron came out.

Rosa headed to the bathroom.

“I, I’m going to wash up too.”

First, she put the bath salts in the tub.

To make her skin smooth.

After washing herself for a while, she stood in front of the bathroom mirror.

Her bare, white body was visible. It was flushed.

Rosa had been meticulous about her self-care even after giving birth to Ronan.

She wanted to be a beautiful wife.

Not very voluptuous, but a womanly figure with moderate curves.

Her body in the steam was beautiful even to her own eyes.

“Have my… breasts gotten bigger?”

Rosa cupped her breasts.

It felt like the Venus de Milo, in a way.

‘They might have gotten a little bigger.’

Was it because she had a child? Was it because Caron touched them?

She let out an awkward cough at her own embarrassing thoughts.

“This isn’t the time for that.”

Finally, the time for the decisive battle had come.

Rosa wanted a second child.

‘I want a daughter too.’

Of course, it wasn’t something that could be controlled, but she had to try.

One was better than none, two was better than one.

‘It’ll be good for Ronan too.’

The existence of siblings who could rely on each other would be good for the child.

Just like her relationship with Roadl.

‘I miss him. Roadl.’

Roadl was very busy. He was on a pilgrimage.

Rosa prayed for his safety.

Back to the story.

In fact, Rosa was a little dissatisfied after Ronan’s birth.

She had been intimate with Caron many times, but he always came outside.

When she worked up the courage to ask why, she received this answer.

[It’s not the right time yet.]

Caron avoided a direct answer and embraced her again.

Of course, Rosa had an idea.

‘He must be worried about me.’

Her body was weak. At least, it used to be.

Her devoted personal maid, Freya, had said this.

[Sometimes that happens.]

Not to the person directly involved.

But rather, the husband who had indirectly experienced it would develop a fear.

Of course, this was about childbirth.

‘I understand, but…’

Rosa was frustrated.

It was hard to say anything because he was doing it out of concern for her.

This wasn’t the modern world.

Medicine was less advanced here.

Uncertainty existed.

[The mother can be in danger during childbirth.]

It was only natural.

‘If I were in his shoes…’

She would have acted the same way as Caron.

Just imagining him in danger made her feel dizzy.

She knew from what Pavel had told her.

[He looked like he had been to hell and back.]

On the day of her delivery.

If Caron had made a decision, she thought it must have been then.

‘But…’

Still, she wanted to have another child.

[Such dangerous cases usually stem from the mother’s condition.]

It was advice from a physician, so it couldn’t be wrong.

She was psychologically stable now, and her health was perfectly normal.

‘There shouldn’t be any problems.’

All that was left was to persuade Caron.

As for the pain during childbirth.

Of course, it was really painful.

It was a pain that easily surpassed any imagination.

But looking back, it was really nothing.

Her child, Ronan. A tiny newborn baby.

The child walked, talked, and called her ‘Mama.’

Especially the first time he called her ‘Mama,’ tears had welled up in her eyes.

An indescribable, deeply moving happiness.

For the first time, Rosa understood.

The joy and happiness of watching a child grow.

‘So I can’t do this. Not like this.’

She wanted it.

In the end, Rosa’s solution was the classic woman’s weapon.

[Try to prepare thoroughly so that he can’t resist the temptation.]

The maids had advised with a smile.

It was a simple solution.

To make Caron lose his mind, to lose his rational judgment.

But after putting on the outfit, Rosa felt quite embarrassed.

‘This is… a bit…’

Her face was burning.

To put it simply, it was a bunny girl.

A very sexy bunny girl.

The custom-made lingerie had a red ribbon.

Feminine, innocent. And very seductive at the same time.

She was essentially cosplaying.

Solely to seduce Caron.

“Ahem- Ahem-“

After an awkward cough, Rosa slowly opened the door.

She couldn’t just not go out.

“…?”

Silence.

Caron was at a loss for words.

Of course, Rosa had changed after marriage.

She had become more affectionate and honest about her feelings.

But had she ever been this bold?

This was a first. Definitely.

Bare shoulders, a rather revealing outfit she had never seen before.

Rosa always wore modest clothes.

Her body was very sexy, but her lingerie had never been this revealing.

Her hair was wet from the bath. Her delicate skin had a pinkish hue.

Rosa in a bunny-like appearance.

[Please, take me.]

A seductive look that seemed to say just that.

Caron was confused about what kind of reaction to show.

An awkward silence flowed.

Embarrassed. Ashamed.

But she had gone through the trouble of cosplaying.

She had prepared lines, but Rosa’s mind went completely blank.

In a hurry, she thought.

Closing her eyes tightly.

‘Caron. Do you want a second child?’

No. It wasn’t enough.

‘Something…..’

Something powerful was needed.

Something that would make Caron snap.

What Rosa finally uttered was a statement that shocked even herself.

“M-Master. Rosa wants a carrot. Please give me your seed.”

Was it an illusion? For a moment, Caron’s eyes seemed to darken.

“Ah-“

In an instant, Rosa was pulled.

She was pounced on by the beast.

It was the beginning of a very hot and long winter night.
