“Should I undress?”
Startled by her unexpected question, Kaian flinched involuntarily.
The bold woman who had asked the question stood still like a statue, waiting for his response.
This only aggravated his already tangled mood.
“You seem quite confident.”
Kaian scanned her from head to toe.
Even upon a second look, she was too small and too slender.
She appeared so fragile and weak that it seemed he could harm her with just one hand, without even needing to use both.
‘Can she even handle the wedding night?’
Today was also Kaian’s first night.
Raised under strict heir training, the most emphasized advice from the previous Duke was ‘If you encounter a Bermont, spare none,’ followed by ‘Don’t carelessly spread your seed everywhere.’
The warm and gentle climate and the vast fertile lands made Lowen a symbol of abundance.
Like the Oberon saying that there were no beggars in the south, food was in such surplus that it grew naturally. Their main task was to thin out the excess to maintain a reasonable yield.
Consequently, both the collateral families and the vassals tended to have large families.
Once a child was born, they naturally grew up in the abundance of Lowen.
If the Lord of Lowen gave in to corruption, the succession would be in jeopardy.
In fact, several times in the family’s history, there had been knife fights within the house over the heir’s position, instigated by illegitimate children.
Therefore, all heirs of Temnes were raised in an almost ascetic education.
The abundance and wealth of Lowen’s land were endless temptations that could corrupt the soul of its master.
Anyway, this was Kaian’s first opportunity as a man, but the woman didn’t seem capable of handling him.
He had seen women excited by his inexperience before.
There had been more than one virgin who, like moths to a flame, threw themselves at Kaian’s bed. Adding those who ran to him despite having husbands made them too numerous to count.
Beautiful ladies clung to him and offered money to his soft-hearted guards to open his bedroom door, only to be dismissed the next day.
The virgins’ requests were a delight to a man.
The guards could not understand why that would be a reason to be dismissed. They could only guess that a lady who seemed quite pretty to them did not catch our lord’s eye.
Hiding in the bedroom and then being promptly dismissed, these women threw themselves at him with violent gestures and pressed their heated bodies against him, allowing him to know the heat and passion associated with the act without even trying it.
Realizing the direction of his thoughts, Kaian felt displeased.
‘There’s no need to worry so much about Bermont.’
He had never wanted this marriage.
After all, Kaian was an excellent and admirable lord and man.
Caught up in a wedding arranged suddenly by royal command, he was bewildered even as the groom.
He had vaguely thought of eventually marrying a woman of grace and discretion to continue the family’s glory, as the previous Dukes had done. He had never imagined such a messy marriage.
He felt an innate repulsion, not wanting to even think about how to treat the bride from Bermont.
The enemy’s daughter.
The enemy’s blood.
The Bermonts who had dared to cross swords with the Temnes for generations.
If the woman of Bermont’s tainted blood overexerts herself or gets hurt, is that his fault?
She entered the castle of Lowen, knowing what treatment she would receive, as did her father, the Duke of Bermont.
Her thin figure was visible beneath her sheer undergarments. The flickering candlelight cast shadows on her body, which seemed to have little to see or touch.
“I doubt there would be much to expect even if you undress completely.”
Kaian sneered, having decided how to treat the bloodline of Bermont.
Yet, despite his words, she remained motionless.
“Should I undress?”
Compared to the women who had gasped and fidgeted, her quietness appealed to him, but Kaian consciously suppressed any liking for her.
“So, does Bermont teach you bedroom techniques to please men despite your plain body?”
He sat on the bed, eyeing her evaluatively.
“The success of tonight’s wedding night depends on you. You must stir my interest.”
Despite Kaian’s barrage of insults, the woman did not react, as if such words couldn’t tarnish her.
She stood proudly, like a statue carved from soft ivory, waiting for the verbal assault to pass.
“Go ahead, try.”
Giving her a chance was the best he could do for someone from Bermont.
Her clothes slowly slipped off in front of Kaian, who was leaning back on the bed with a non-cooperative attitude.
He watched her body, forgetting to speak.
Her neck, supporting a head that seemed small enough to fit in his hand, was slender and long. From there, her shoulders were sharply defined due to her thinness, making them look elegant.
Below that, the woman’s curves swelled and receded, her knees showing a faint peach hue, and then trailed down to slender ankles.
