Marietta-hime no Konrei

Sierra had a great deal of experience in polishing up Marietta, but this time she found herself on the polished side.

As a noble lady however, she was familiar enough with the notion of having another assist her in preparing that she was not significantly distressed. Dragged into the bathroom, her whole body was washed and massaged with perfumed oils, her hair was combed until it glittered in the light, and with it all her beauty freely burst forth, Sierra shining at the peak of radiance. Between the typically loose platinum blonde hair pulled half up and styled, and the subdued blue dress from Stellaus that accented her graceful curves, the woman had become an extraordinarily beautiful lady.

“My, how lovely! How fantastically beautiful, I might actually mistake you for a heroine straight from a story! With how attractive Sir Adlan is, I just know you shall make a gorgeous couple, just like the ones in the novels.”

“Thank you very much, my lady. And everyone else as well, thank you for this favor.”

And moreover, I’m terribly sorry, but this isn’t the romance you seem to consider it. I merely lacked experience, and so asked Sir Adlan if…

Marietta was bouncing in excitement, happier than Sierra had ever expected, while the various maids and attendants nodded in satisfaction at their work.

Swept up in the jubilant mood, yet feeling somewhat guilty for deceiving everyone, Sierra could only steel her complex emotions and say her thanks.

As the sound of Sierra’s approaching carriage reached his ears, Adlan stepped out to greet her, his heart hammering. Considering how he had so clearly forced things along, he had spent quite a while anxious over whether she would actually come.

The carriage door swung open, and Adlan had only a moment to present his hand to escort Sierra down before he was rooted to the spot, still as a marble statue the instant his eyes beheld the figure before him. The silver woman with rosy cheeks, this exceeding beauty, nearly froze him solid.

“Sierra… This evening finds you beyond beautiful. I could only nod in belief if any were to claim you the shining goddess of the moon herself. Say, would it be alright to think this beauty is for my sake?”

With the taste of these few sugary lines, Adlan attempted to nimbly conquer his stasis, but Sierra’s glamour had truly shaken him straight to his heart.

“My, Sir Adlan…”

Sierra softly laid her hand in his, and a bashful smile stole across her face when his lips brushed against her fingers.

“Such minor deceptions will amount to nothing. After all, there are a great many things I wish to ask you, Sir Adlan.”

The man was truly an expert in handling women.

Ignorant of his innermost thoughts, Sierra could only think that she would need to be doubly careful of Sir Adlan’s deceptive behavior.

“I hope that the lady understands the significance of wanting to know more of me. Well, warm welcomes.”

“Evading the topic will prove equally futile.”

“I am completely serious thanks to you, Sierra. Didn’t you know? If you make such a fascinating sight, there isn’t a single man who could keep hold of their hearts after a look. Since I’m a capable adult, I won’t be driven by feelings and stomp forward on a half-baked plan, especially not when you’ve utterly taken hold of me and stirred my sense of responsibility.”

Adlan remained gentlemanly to the end, but Sierra spotted deep within his eyes a primal flash of ferocity, like a beast plotting to seize its prey, and could only keep silent.

When they entered the residence, the servants were all lined up to greet Sierra, the head butler at the forefront.

“Please do come in. All we servants gathered here are delighted to be able to serve you today.”

“I…”

“This is Miss Sierra, who will be the new lady of this household.”

Adlan declared confidently, his arm wrapping around Sierra’s waist to draw her forward. Sierra could only give a wry smile.

“Now, this dinner party was rather abrupt, but the chefs have been giving it their all, so how about we go enjoy dinner?”

After finishing the dinner filled with the chefs’ heartfelt consideration, the two retreated to Adlan’s private room and were currently sipping at glasses.

“Sir Adlan, doesn’t it seem as though you are doing a bit more than I requested?”

“Sorry. However, accepting your first time means I am prepared to accept you as my wife.”

“At least, as far as I’m concerned”, he finished with another gulp of fragrant alcohol.

“Now then, don’t want to get too buzzed… Since this is essentially our wedding night. Are you resolved? Though, even if I ask, I might not be able to send you home if you say no. You’re far too beautiful, too lovely.”

Adlan set his glass aside, then took up Sierra’s hand in his own before speaking again.

“I’ll formally propose then. Sierra, would you become my wife? If you join with me, then you would never have to worry about an unexpected marriage calling you back to Stellaus, and you could spend your life at Princess Marietta’s side. Of course, I will also make every effort to make sure you are beyond happy. For the continued peace between Stellaus and Oltaire, and most of all, for my joy, won’t you marry me?”

If she married Adlan, she could stay by her princess’ side.

“Yes-“, when what Sierra could only consider the number one advantage was presented, she reflexively spoke out, but quickly grew flustered.

“I, I mean, I-“

Sierra sputtered; Adlan’s responses were far beyond what she had expected, but the man quickly swept her up in an embrace.

“So you’ve said yes, Sierra!”

Sierra’s mouth struggled to make any contribution before it was sealed with a kiss, the concentrated onslaught causing her to wobble in her seat on the sofa. Her cheeks dyeing to match her plump, red, teased lips, Sierra raised her misty blue eyes to Adlan’s as though to criticize him.

“Sir Adlan…”

“Yep, I know. Just like I promised you, I’ll embrace you and teach you a lot about what love feels like.”

“That sounds quite different from what I- eep!”

Adlan swung her up into his arms, and Sierra could only reflexively cling to him, and just like that she was carried across to the bed and laid atop the sheets.

“You’re adorable, Sierra. I love you, you know, and in just a bit I will make you mine.”

Adlan’s fingers skillfully set to work on untangling the various buttons and ribbons of her dress.

“To make sure you properly understand, we won’t be turning down the lights, right?” 𝗳𝘳𝒆𝘦𝑤𝐞𝚋𝗻𝚘𝘷𝘦𝙡.𝑐𝐨𝘮

“No, please do turn out the lights!”

“Nope, because I want to start with teaching you various things while it’s this bright. We can extinguish the lights for the next time.”

“Huh? Start? Next time?”

Just like that, Sierra’s dress fell away, leaving only her underwear and whatever dignity the blushing glare she directed at Adlan could offer.

“Making such an adorable face will only excite me more, you know?”

With a pleasant smile Adlan had quickly set about removing his own clothes, but Sierra’s glance made his lips widen, and his grin turned positively wicked as he removed his last article of clothing. Adlan’s splendid body bare before her, Sierra unintentionally stared before coming back to herself, blushing bright red as she averted her eyes.

“You know you can look as much as you like, Sierra.”

Adlan leaned over the bed and offered a kiss to Sierra’s lips.

“It’s fine to look, and to touch. After all, I am going to be your husband. On the other hand, absolutely none of that is allowed with other men. Got it?”

“Y-yes…”

Sierra weakly muttered, her heart hammering underneath the strong and incredibly naked man before her eyes.

Oh Lady Marietta, he truly is considerably well muscled!

Those dreamy muscles pressed against Sierra’s body as that naked figure embraced her.

“What a girl, huh. I’ll never let you go for my whole life, you know.”

Then wouldn’t my whole life be nothing more than muscles!

From Adlan’s hot, solid body emanated the scent of a man’s passion, and the fragrance sent a shock through Sierra’s instincts.

“Sir Adlan…”

Entranced, her white fingers involuntarily traced along his chest.

“Quite proactive, huh.”

With that, Adlan kissed her once more and began to undo her undergarments.

“Oh, this is embarrassing…”

“The hindrances has been removed. It’s alright, nothing dreadful.”

“Ahhn-“

Sierra raise a sweet voice as a kiss landed just behind her ear.

“What shimmering white skin. This soft, good scent in unbearable. Letting another man know you like this is unthinkable.”

Adlan nibbled along her collarbone, his sucking lips trailing a line of blooming red flowers that followed as his tongue moved up and around her neck.

“Because you, are mine.”

“Ahh~, mm-“

Adlan’s palms worked their way along the woman’s body as Sierra’s voice fell from her mouth.

“Sierra, Sierra, give me your all, and you’ll have my everything in return.”

His whisper shook her to the bottom of her stomach like a deep bass. His tongue teased at her ear as his hands massaged her chest, and an unknown sensation shivered through her, causing Sierra to writhe about.

As every inch of her was assaulted, as that pleasant feeling tugged at her every perception, Sierra couldn’t understand her own body.

“Ahn, Sir Adlan, if you do that…”

“Right, it feels good?”

“Ahhn~!”

The tip of his tongue summited her chest, and with each movement a fresh wave of the pleasant feeling crashed against the pit of her stomach.

“Your honest body is quite worth teaching. Here, look at the end of these nipples. They’ve become quite stiff, reddened, and delicious looking. How about this?”

Adlan placed both peaks between thumb and forefinger, rolling them softly.

“Aaahn, wait, please, not so much-“

Unable to endure it, Sierra clung to the man’s tempered arms with teary eyes, her head shaking back and forth. The innocent and tantalizing view beneath Adlan’s green eyes agitated the ferocious beast within him.

Naturally, the lady’s request would go unanswered.

Adlan’s fingers increased their grip on those red peaks, and a surge of numbness ran through Sierra as her back arched, pushing her chest closer to the man. She was one sidedly massaged and pulled, not a single gap in the stimulus allowing her to surface to breath.

“Hyaaahn~”

Sierra’s voice rose once more as those red points were gently nibbled. Her lower body felt feverish, and she unconsciously rubbed her knees together.

“Now, if we want to know if you’re properly feeling good, we can take a look down here.”

“Feeling, good?”

Sierra gasped more than asked. Adlan, his face thoroughly displaying a beastly hunger, slipped his hand down and between her legs.

“That’s right. Now, would my good student let me take a look?”
