I Didn't Tame The Beastly Duke!

He already knew, but the exorbitant prices could not be truly felt.

Even if the curse reappears, the emperor will be used as a vessel for the curse, so the feelings of the empresses, each of whom has a son they are pushing, are not negative. The idea arose from a hasty calculation that Michael would be in trouble if the emperor collapsed immediately.

“If-If it’s the Duke of Cardian, aren’t the monsters the ones who hurt Phil! Phil was only trying to keep himself safe! Check out again this time!”

“Are you saying it’s nonsense that Duke Cardian, who had a broken arm, infiltrated the second prince’s palace! Why must be the duke!”

His soaring voice made the Third Empress dizzy.

“Oh my……Isn’t it his wife’s fault? That insane murderer attempted to harm the prince due to a misunderstanding!”

“How come the prince is unharmed?”

“Your Majesty!”

“That’s not true! The Duke of Cardian’s ability is known to all the world! If he tried to kill Phil, he should have lost his life on the spot! Do you think he’s someone who can barely live with one arm of his?”

“That…..”

In actuality, Phil kidnapped the Duchess of Cardian after she went missing after being attacked by monsters. The Third Empress, who could not tell that Celia was brought to the Second Imperial Palace, bit her lips in frustration.

When Emperor Orkan saw the third empress, he clicked his tongue.

“Even if he did it, he did it in such a foolish way! As a father, I’ve already protected him enough, so this time he’ll have to figure out how to live on his own!”

Saying this, Orkan looked around the room at the waiting servants and maids. And there were the ladies-in-waiting brought by the third empress.

“Hey! Take the empress to her room, she’s fainting!”

“Your Majesty!”

The servants did not dare to touch the empress’s body, and the ladies-in-waiting were the people of the third empress, so they did not appear hasty. The emperor’s gaze sharpened.

“Do you want to be decapitated! What are you doing! Bring out the empress right away!”

The emperor’s harsh reprimand moved the ladies-in-waiting. They carefully raised the Third Empress’s body. Seeing that she was no longer useful, the Third Empress wept tears as she looked at the Emperor.

“Please think about it again! Don’t you see that because Giel is foolish and Michael is incapable, he is the only one who can become the crown prince, right?”

The Emperor wore a troubled expression in response to the third empress’s eloquent lament. The Third Empress sobbed her way out of her room. She looked like she had no energy left. 

‘The former princess……’

The Third Empress had been like that from the beginning. Rather than rigorously following etiquette, she gave the impression of an aristocratic young lady raised in a noble family. She was the one who remained loyal to the Emperor.

The emperor greatly favored the third empress because of her noble lineage and gorgeous face. She had a fiery temper and a distinct charm than the second or ice-cold first empresses.

But his third empress was just as stupid as his second empress.

The emperor missed the late empress.

The late Empress was so ambitious that she was a dangerous person to be positioned as his empress. At this pace, the position of the empress of the empire would be remained vacant until his later years.

‘That plot……Is it really Phil’s doing?’

In the document, it was recorded that Phil accepted the wizards expelled from the Tower of Magic as his subordinates, kidnapped orphans and those without families near the border, and exploited them as test subjects.

Although Phil was vicious and self-absorbed, he doubted he could conduct such research.

He knows that he shows perseverance when he searches for a target and attracts the woman, but that is for his direct benefit.

The research did not always yield beneficial results. Investing for as little as a few years or as long as several decades is critical to see returns. At the age when he started this task, Phil was a lot dumber than he is now.

‘If Phil fell into a trap……’

There was only one culprit. Michael, it must have been him.

‘I used my brain quite a bit.’

After all, I was satisfied with my son’s idea, but the problem returned to the beginning. Even if he could destroy Phil, Michael didn’t have that power.

He couldn’t make Michael the crown prince even if he deposed Phil from the throne. Fortunately, Orkan still had one more son.

The subsequent work was solved quickly when she arrived in the city and met the wizards. The people of the Duke of Cardian urgently arranged a carriage so that Leonis and Celia could return to the duke’s residence.

The people of the ducal family, who were almost as if they were living corpses due to the disappearance of the madam, were revived when they saw Celia coming in with Leonis.

“Madam! 

“You’re back alive!”

“Huwaaaaa! Madam!”

“You are safe!”

Celia flinched at Leonis’s fiery welcome and nearly hid behind him. They would have danced with Celia if Leonis hadn’t looked at them and asked what they were doing.

They feared Leonis’ rage at losing her Celia to that extent.

Albert, the butler, apologized for the current situation without losing the dignity of the ducal family. He bowed his head to Celia, casting a watchful eye on his employees.

“I apologized. Everyone was worried about the two masters…… I will re-educate them.”

The employees froze at the mention of re-education, but Celia’s safe return made them so pleased that they spontaneously danced.

With a weary face, Celia climbed up to the second floor and looked for the bath water.

She hasn’t been back home in a long time. Celia fell on the bed without even thinking about changing her clothes.

‘As expected, Duke’s cushion is the best. Uhhhhh……’

Leonis followed her to the bed and drew the curtains above it.

He knew the curtain would confuse the maids and servants, but Celia would awaken at the sound of the door opening if it weren’t drawn. To keep the Duchess safe.

“Uhhh….., Leon, can I just sleep now?”

“You can sleep. I’ll clean you up.”

Celia’s cheeks were turned red by a subtle whisper. Clearly, he would do everything, but it was comfortable for Leonis to wash her. She felt good.

“Huh……but you can’t wake me up. I’m going to sleep.”

“Okay.”

While talking in a whisper, the maid and the servants entered the bedroom by drowning out the sound of footsteps. They exchanged glances as they pushed their bodies to the bathroom.

Dozens of minutes were enough to handle tasks such as getting bath water, using bath salts, and preparing pajamas.

“Madam……”

“Shhh.”

Leonis, who could be seen through the bed curtains, said. The maids bowed and quietly exited the bedroom.

Leonis bent his head towards Celia as he heard the door close with a light sound. Her breathing was still resonating even though she was already asleep.

‘Hmm.’

Leonis brushed Celia’s hair up and kissed the sensitive nape of her neck. And she untied the laces of the dress that she was wearing.

‘Eung…..’

It wasn’t a deep sleep. It hasn’t been long since he sleeps, so he’ll just nap. Leonis carefully removed Celia’s clothes while holding her upper body.

Every time her smooth, white skin was revealed gradually, he felt impatience. Celia let out a long sigh as he touched her skin at the thought of her being adorable.

Leonis kissed her on the cheek, kissed her lips, kissed the nape of her neck, and tugged her dress down her leg.  Suddenly, the dress fell off the bed. Leonis got down from the bed with Celia in his arms.

As they walked to the bathroom, Leonis took off Celia’s underwear one by one, from her super soft breast covering to the thin underwear covering her private parts.

When his wife became naked, Leonis’ gaze became even more intense.

‘That reminds me……I guess I couldn’t hold it properly because we were traveling.’

Celia was exhausted from the long horseback ride when they arrived at the inn, so she napped in his arms while they went from city to city.

Leonis had to regret being unable to attack them and save Celia, who had suffered a significant abduction.

A familiar sight caught his eye as he entered the bathroom. The scent of the bath bombs and the anti-fog mirror were the sights he had always seen.

Leonis carefully placed Celia in the bathtub. Celia’s nakedness fit in perfectly with the red rose petals surrounding her.

Celia didn’t wake up, although being leaned up against the bathtub. Ugh….., She only tossed and turned over her body as if dribbling.

Watching her, Leonis hurriedly undressed. The magic pouch containing the divine beast egg was unpacked and placed on the bathroom shelf.

“……Celia.”

Leonis entered the bathtub, where Celia was reclining after a quick wash. Celia only tossed and twisted as he approached her and delicately kissed her lips.

‘Because I’m a greedy bastard……’

Leonis reluctantly lifted Celia and placed her on top of him. All she allowed was a bath and nothing more.

Leonis seated Celia on his thigh and began gently caressing her entire body. His intention was obviously for a bath, but he was also inherently greedy.

Leonis, who had become used to washing Celia, was dexterous. He gently washed her arms and legs and ran his hands over her back and under her breasts.

But as expected, Celia trembled as she felt a touch full of her desire.

“Huh…… Eung.”

“You know I’m excited, don’t you?”

She had Celia on top of him, touching her occasionally, so her reaction was inevitable. Leonis’ thing was pressed against her bottom, which was heated up.

Leonis released her rough breath and moved his hand to Celia’s breast. Her large, soft breasts, one in each of his palms, were squeezed, revealing her deep pink nipples.

It had a light red color and looked obscene even at first glance.

Leonis knew it wasn’t this color. He washed it over and over again and turned it that color.

He knew that the little buds at the bottom were like that too. All of his sins were proof that he drove her crazy every night.
