Rhodnes swallowed the curse without Adrienne knowing.
Adrienne acted like a skilled torturer.
Rhodnes unconsciously grabbed the bed sheets as if trying to hold onto his trembling waist and tried to hold onto his lover who seemed to be about to fly away.
He felt like he was going crazy wanting to hug Adrienne so tightly that he couldn't breathe and move her however he pleased.
Their skins touching each other were soft and melting like pudding, and their mingling breaths were so sweet that he thought his head was spinning.
When the breath that had been flowing slowly became hot and tightly entangled.
Adrienne, who responded to his sweet yet passionate kisses, slowly began to conquer him.
Rhodnes felt something snap in his head and had to grit his teeth to keep himself from letting out a ragged breath.
'Oh my... Shit...'
It was the limit.
Adrienne's small chin, which had been kissing him, slowly tilted toward the ceiling.
Because of that, his vision became brighter, but he couldn't see the gorgeous ceiling painting that he should have seen, and everything before his eyes became blank.
Rhodnes, gritting his teeth and stifling a groan in his mouth, raised his free arm and covered his eyes as if he had not grabbed Adrienne.
He couldn't tell whose breathing it was, but it clung moistly to his whole body.
Rhodnes lowered his arms, revealing his flushed face.
And just like that, he met Adrienne's eyes, who was whimpering with reddened eyes.
Adrienne's slender hands gripped his sturdy shoulders so hard they seemed to crush them.
As the strength in her hands grew, reason flew to the ends of the sky and returned repeatedly.
“...Adrienne.”
The voice of Rhodnes, who had been very tired, cut through the hot air. Adrienne covered his voice with her lips.
Now, really, it was the limit.
A stick.
There was a sound of something breaking in the invisible void.
***
It happened before I could even let out a low scream.
I was laid down on the bed as my body tilted over.
A splendid ceiling appeared above my wide-open eyes.
The magic that had bound him was broken!
Our positions were reversed in an instant.
The face of Rhodnes, whose reason had flown away, was looking down at me as if it were going to swallow me up.
“Let go! It’s not over yet!”
“...I’m just getting started.”
A hot body that had not yet dissipated its heat covered mine and pressed down on me.
A hot temperature that I could never get used to mercilessly cut through my senses.
“Ugh...”
The overwhelming pressure brought tears to my eyes.
My breath was ragged and in an instant, my vision went completely dark as if the lights had gone out, then brightened again.
Rhodnes hugged me tightly, his breath blowing heavily on the nape of my neck.
With a tingling sensation down my spine, I couldn't help but hold onto him as he dug into me.
Rhodnes, who had been chewing and licking my earlobe, placed his lips on mine more sweetly than ever.
Unlike his affectionate lips, the hot flesh that had taken over my mouth rubbed every part it touched mercilessly.
I hugged his back, which was beginning to squirm violently, like a rope I was holding onto on top of a cliff.
The nails stood up on their own and dug into his back. It must have hurt quite a bit, but Rhodnes accepted it without even flinching.
My consciousness flew far away and returned at the mere sensation of a single twitch in my hands.
The feeling of being pushed off a cliff and then floating back into the air came over me incessantly.
My head would turn white, then red, then black, then gray, and so on, over and over again.
Rhodnes didn't even let me hear a low laugh as I was busy sobbing and breathing hard.
He just let out his exhalation between sweet kisses.
As if allowing only the breath that he gives.
He kept squeezing my breath out of me as if he had no other choice.
There was no room for outside air to enter.
I was engulfed in a suffocating heat and had no choice but to take in every breath he gave me.
Red eyes that had lost their sense of reason burned black as if they were a beast released from bondage, lusting after the fawn thrown before it.
I felt like I was being burned by those eyes. My toes curled and goosebumps ran down my arms that were clinging to him. I half-sobbed, but I laughed, intoxicated by the sensation he gave me.
“I’ve been waiting for this moment. I’ve only been waiting for this moment.”
His lips, which chewed out the groaning sound, were lewd with every movement.
Even though I moved as I wanted, my jaw muscles, which were bulging as if they were holding something in, did not relax.
A thin drop of sweat ran down his strong jawline and fell onto the nape of my neck.
The intense stimulation that sends shivers down your spine, the heat that makes your reason fly away and leaves you with only a ragged breath.
“I love you, Adrienne.”
There was nothing more stimulating to me than that moist voice that whispered endlessly about love with a face that was flushed and had only instinct left.
"I love you."
He clenched his teeth at those words. His platinum hair swayed wildly in the soft candlelight that illuminated the surroundings, sparkling in all directions.
It was a star.
A star that brightens the dark night and at the same time distracts me from my consciousness.
It felt like I had fallen into the dark, brilliant lake of stars that I saw from Star Hill.
If Rhodnes that day had been like an angel, Rhodnes now was like a dream that ruled this dark, humid air.
“Roan, Roan...”
He roughly pressed his lips together again, our lips parting briefly as if he knew what I was going to say.
Everything became dizzy. A tingling sensation spread through my entire body, gripping my brain and running down my spine.
My body felt like it was floating in the air, floating and floating, until it was sucked into a distant darkness.
The more I struggle in that hot and sweet black space.
I felt like I was being sucked deeper and deeper like I had become a burning star.

“Why is it that there are rumors that His Highness the Crown Prince has been shut in his bridal chambers and never comes out, Your Highness? It’s already been two months since you got married, but all sorts of sweet rumors keep coming out.”
“Lady Noura! That’s rude!”
“Irene, this isn’t rude. It’s just a way to show off your husband. Learn it.”
They sat around the tea table for the first time in a long time.
As Noura had said, rumors about the Crown Prince and his wife disappearing right after the wedding party without even finishing it had already spread throughout the empire.
This was news that had never been heard from the previous Crown Prince and his wife, so it was welcome news to those who were thirsty for good news from the royal family.
Recently, an article entitled [The Two Faces of Crown Prince Bardenaldo] sent by an anonymous informant to the Imperial Daily became a hot topic.
It was a long article exposing Bardenaldo's cunning and duplicitous nature.
The image and reputation of Bardenaldo, which had been in decline due to the scandal of having prepared and filed a duplicate marriage certificate, were completely ruined by that article.
So the news of the new Crown Prince and his wife was the exact opposite, light and salt for the empire.
They were a 'likable' couple who were so popular that even a single sneeze would make the news.
Adrienne gulped down her water as soon as she heard the story about the bridal chamber that Noura had brought out.
Lately, Rhodnes has been pursuing her so obsessively that it's literally driving her crazy.
Adrienne, following Bianca's teachings faithfully, was trying to control Rhodnes, who had become her husband.
Whenever Rhodnes went out for a short time on external business, she would call Rossi to learn and practice more powerful binding magic. The magic would break and crumble every night, but it was growing stronger.
However, the problem was that this became another stimulus for Rhodnes, causing him to turn into even more of a beast.
It wasn't long before she started accepting people's requests for audiences and starting a new job.
As people say, they would eat, make love, and eat and make love again without even thinking of leaving the bridal chamber, and when Adrienne was completely exhausted and fell asleep, Rhodnes would come into the bridal chamber with the necessary work to finish.
However, because he had recently gone on a campaign to the northwest where monsters were rampant, Adrienne was finally able to live a somewhat human life.
Adrienne, who recalled the messy memories that had continued until the morning of the departure, covered her face and tried to answer calmly.
“Rumors tend to be exaggerated. We are no different from any other newlywed couple. I appreciate your courtship, but I hope that groundless speculations do not leak out of the palace, Madam.”
“Oh, of course, Your Highness! We just say it among ourselves, but when we go out, we keep our mouths shut. Like this.”
Noura bit her lip and stretched her neck.
Adrienne found the sight funny and chuckled, and only then did Noura laugh along as if relieved.
And there was one person who was looking at them with gloomy eyes.
"...Is the Crown Prince bothering you?”
Blie whispered darkly.
Adrienne, feeling uneasy for some reason, pushed the dessert she was enjoying to the side, and her eyes sparkled as she watched it.
The warm atmosphere of the tea party suddenly subsided.
“What do you mean, Blie?”
When Adrienne asked the question politely, Blie frowned.
“We’re alone, so don’t be concerned. Something’s off.”
Adrienne squeezed her dizzy eyes shut, not wanting to think any more messy thoughts without Rhodnes around.
Blie watched Adrienne closely and then pointed to the plate that Adrienne had pushed away.
“This is your favorite pudding. The milk pudding that Olivia made herself. I thought you gained some weight for about a month after getting married, but I think you've gotten thinner again recently. What’s wrong? Is there something bothering you that you can’t tell me?”
Adrienne bit back the urge to tell her to stop asking questions since she couldn't help it if she had a husband with so much power.
But Blie showed no intention of stopping her mouth, which had already begun to move.
“You’ve lost your appetite, right? When people feel uneasy, they lose their appetite. Adrienne, don’t hide it; tell me. It’s not too late to call off the marriage. Is the Crown Prince bothering you?”
“No, no, please stop.”
Adrienne reached under the tea table and squeezed Blie's knee, which was sitting next to her.
She gave a strong signal with her eyes to stop, but somehow Blie seemed to misunderstand the signal.
'It's clear that this is a worry that can't be spoken of in front of the maids.'
No it wasn't.
But Blie immediately asked Noura and Irene to leave.
Irene disappeared quietly with a worried look on her face, and Noura thought, 'Blie is tripping again.'
“Tell me now.”
“What are you talking about? Stop it, Blie. We don’t have a problem. That’s not what he’s harassing me about.”
“Huh? What? You’re saying I'm going to bully you?”
“Why are you like this! You know everything!”
“What do you know? You have to talk to know!”
Bianca and Rossi, who had not left their seats, were watching their sisters fight, holding back their laughter.
“If you’re so confident, prove that you haven’t lost your appetite! There’s a reason you push away food like this! You pushed away your favorite thing while talking about your husband!”
Blie lifted the plate herself and shook it in front of Adrienne’s nose. The milk pudding that Adrienne usually loved shook dangerously. And then...
“Ugh, get out of my way... !”
Adrienne started to retch.
Blie, who had been shaking the plate in front of his nose, froze like a stone.
“Adrienne?”
“I told you to clean it up! I just don’t feel well!”
Do you usually gag when you have no appetite?
The color drained from Blie's face. As Adrienne quickly covered her mouth and began to gag in earnest, memories she didn't want to recall struck Blie's mind.
The image of Adrienne vomiting blood during her time as Archduchess came vividly to my mind.
As Bianca hurriedly offered Adrienne a glass of lukewarm water and wrapped her arms around his shoulders, Blie's mind went blank even more. A sharp voice burst out of Blie's flustered mouth.
“Doctor!”
Finally, Blie jumped up and grabbed one of the attendants waiting nearby by the collar and shook him.
“Call a doctor! Now!”
That afternoon.
Applause erupted from the Crown Princess Palace.
It was because of the news of the Crown Princess' pregnancy less than two months after their marriage.
