Don't Get Caught by Your Husband!

Escalion rested his forehead against hers, staring at her with his deep eyes.

At her sudden decrease in distance, Belladonna felt her mouth go dry and clenched her fist with her hand on her thigh. This close, she had a hard time making eye contact with him.

“surprised?”

He asked.

Belladonna took her eyes off of him and nodded, her attention resting on her forehead resting against his. If i suddenly hit me in the face like this, wouldn’t i be surprised?

“Sorry.”

“…….”

“But I want to do one more thing to make me feel sorry.”

Without even having time to ask what it was, he grabbed her chin with one hand and kissed her.

Belladonna was startled by his sudden kiss and her shoulders stiffened. In an instant she parted her own lips and with difficulty accepted his thick tongue invading her, struggling to come to her senses.

“…….”

She repeatedly hold him tightly, his face being pushed back and pulled back against her.

Suddenly, through her heated ears, the sound of his soft breathing coming out through the moment when her lips parted.

When her lips met his, a strange, wet sound that you couldn’t imagine coming from myself or him filled the space between them.

Belladonna closed her eyes tightly without realizing it.

What she was doing to him now seemed so unfamiliar and unreal that she felt as if she hadn’t yet woken up.

‘furthermore……’

Their kiss now was significantly different from the kiss in the forest a few days ago.

Escalion was much hungrier than before and pushed her in an irrational manner. Although her breathing became increasingly labored, he showed no mercy.

The kiss continued, and his hand, which was firmly holding the back of her head, moved little by little and came towards the front.

Eventually, when his thick fingers touched Bella’s ears, she flinched loudly without even realizing it and her body trembled.

“……ha.”

Only then did her lips part and Escalion slowly fell from her.

Bella let out a sharp breath and looked at him with fluttering eyelashes raised. Full-bodied eyes, red lips glazed with saliva whose origin is unknown.

Belladonna couldn’t bear to look straight at that figure and she closed her eyes tightly again.

“You are dirty.”

Escalion looked down at Belladonna, who looked no different from himself, and whispered.

Due to his blatant words and actions, both Bella and I felt the urge to immediately put up her hands and cover her ears.

“Why are you closing your eyes again?”

Escalion asked, running her fingers over her eyes. When he touched her eyes, she instantly felt heat rising.

“Do you want more?”

No! no! Belladonna shook her head desperately.

That’s not….Probably not!

“Why? Was it not that good?”

Was it not good?

Belladonna slowly opened her eyes. Is he now asking if his kiss wasn’t that good?

Through his slowly opened eyes, he could see Escalion’s golden eyes carefully examining her. He was looking at Belladonna with anxiety, tension, and some anticipation.

But to be able to give an opinion on whether it was bad or good….

‘I don’t have much experience in that area……!’

The kisses that Belladonna has experienced throughout her life include once at her wedding, once unexpectedly by the lake, and once a while ago when she was kissed in her sleep without even knowing what was happening. That was it.

There was no way I could tell that his kisses felt particularly good compared to others, or that his technique was fancy, or vice versa.

‘How I feel right now…….’

Belladonna gingerly lifted one of her hands and placed it on her own chest. My heart was beating very fast from before.

Her slightly dizzy mind continued to feel dazed and floating, as if she was in a dream.

Moreover, seeing as how she felt a little bit disappointed when she parted her lips….

‘At least I don’t feel bad.’

Belladonna came to a conclusion in her mind and slowly shook her head. I felt Escalion’s face brighten noticeably upon seeing her reaction.

He lifted one hand and clumsily put a strand of her hair that had fallen over her face into her ear.

“Thank goodness. I don’t have much experience either.”

Belladonna blinked her eyes and looked up at him.

Is my promiscuous husband being sneaky again?

But his cheeks were blushing as he said that, at least it didn’t look like he was telling a lie. Belladonna let out her breath with a hint of confusion.

“I didn’t mean to do this from the beginning…Are you going to get up first?”

Escalion, who was scratching the back of his head for a moment, fully stood up and held out his hand towards her.

Belladonna looked down at his hand, then she reached out her hand to grab it and stood up from her window sill.

Escalion spat out as if making an excuse.

“I tried to take you into the bedroom because the window sill looked narrow and uncomfortable. i never thought it would be like this……I didn’t know.”

“……”

“Can you go? If you’re still half asleep or weak, should I hug you?”

Escalion sat down lightly on the desk next to her and made eye contact with her.

She looked at him and Bella shook her head.

“Then? Do you want to sit down and study some more?”

study…..

Belladonna turned her head to look at the thick ledger that Wolf had left on the desk, and furrowed her eyebrows. She doesn’t want to study.

Escalion reached out his hand and rubbed Belladonna between her furrowed eyebrows. He lifted the corners of his mouth and smiled.

“It seems like my wife doesn’t want to study.”

It’s not like that….Belladonna, embarrassed by having her true feelings revealed, straightened her frown and blinked her eyes.

Has i shown something i didn’t want to do?

Escalion took the back of Bella’s hand and placed it on his lips, giving her a small kiss along with a wet sound.

“Should I tell Wolff to stop? If you don’t feel like it, you don’t have to do it. Wolf has done well on his own so far, so it doesn’t matter in the future either.”

Belladonna looked at him silently.

A little over two months left in marriage. She decided that she would do her best to fulfill her role as a wife during that time…

Escalion spoke in a mumbling voice, still not removing her lips from the back of her hand.

“I also like my wife, who plays and eats in my castle with my own money. You don’t have to learn things like housekeeping. You must have done a lot of things as a saint when you were in Astanya, so you can rest and play as much as you want by my side.”

Astanya.

Now, just thinking about that place made me feel like my throat was tightening.

And at the same time, I felt grateful and relieved to Escalion for saying that, even if it was just words.

Maybe if i really don’t have to go back to Astanya……? What if, as he said, she could stay by his side and play and rest with him instead of going back?

‘Do I really dare to do that?’

But soon, Belladonna mentally shook her head.

She wasn’t the real Saint Belladonna. If everything in her that had gone wrong was put back in her place, and if the ‘real’ Saint Belladonna, the owner of her body, returned, Belladonna had to give her everything back.

‘……It’s not something I can do as I please.’

Moreover, daring to go against the will of the Pope wasn’t an option in Belladonna’s life as a commoner in Astanya.

Bella slowly pulled her hand away from him.

She could feel Escalion looking up at her with his quizzical eyes.

However, there was no need to show him that i was in a bad mood and cause him worry.

Belladonna pulled the corners of her mouth into a smile as natural as possible. Wearing a benevolent smile that was unique to the saintess was her specialty and the thing she was most confident about.

She nodded, pointing to the ledger that Wolff had handed her on her desk.

“Are you sure you want to study?”

Nod.

“My wife has a strong sense of responsibility.”

Escalion had a proud smile on her face.

Bella also smiled at him, feeling her conscience prick a little.

“Okay, then. Don’t push yourself too hard.”

Eventually, Escalion got up from the desk he was sitting on and placed his palm on the top of her head and slowly stroked it.

“It’s been a while since I thought about spending time together, but my wife’s position is so firm that there’s no way I can squeeze in.”

“…….”

“See you later in the evening. I think we’ll be able to have a meal together today for the first time in a while.”

With that, Escalion raised her finger and lightly touched Bellana’s cheek and turned his body around.

Belladonna watched his spacious back as he left her room.

Eventually, when he completely closed the door, Belladonna stretched out her arms on the desk, bent down, and let out a loud sigh.

“Huh…….”

My head hurts, my head hurts!

The current situation was a crucible of confusion.

“Why on earth do I keep getting closer to that guy…… .”

I have to return to Astanya after two months, but why do I keep…

Bella also lifted both her hands and ruffled her hair.

As I remembered what had happened a little while ago, my heart, which had barely calmed down, began to speed up again.

Belladonna, who was lost in thought, unconsciously glanced at her own lips.

“What am I really doing……”

After a while, Belladonna let out a quiet sigh.

It was not good for both ther and him to keep narrowing the gap between each other like this.

Don’t forget that I will be leaving in two months!

Belladonna, who belatedly came to her senses, slapped her cheeks harshly with both hands and shook her head.

‘Let’s keep our distance a little from now on! If we get closer like this and then divorce in two months, he’ll be very angry……’

Escalion was the knight who hated betrayal the most, so it was natural.

‘Besides, he…….’

Thinking of Scarlett Layton standing with him, i felt my heart sink quickly and calmly. In any case, it was clear that she too had unresolved issues.

“Okay.”

Belladonna repeated very softly.

From now on, try to keep your distance from him as much as possible and not get any closer to him!

With a determined look on her face, she lifted one of her hands and rubbed the back of her hand as if wiping her own lips.

……No more kissing!

“…….”

But how did it come to this?

Belladonna blinked her eyes helplessly, feeling the warmth of him hugging her tightly behind her.

She lowered her head slightly, lowering her gaze, and his thick forearms wrapped around her waist filled her view.

“Bella.”

His deeply subdued voice fell into my ear.

Well, so….

‘I shouldn’t get any closer, but…….’

Belladonna looked at the space with her perplexed face. So this is…
