It was awkward. 

It was a moment after Hilda had released her seed inside Wolfy, and she could still feel the bulbous root of her pink shaft was throbbing inside the tight embrace of Wolfy’s pussy.

After all, this was the first time she had used her male organ for its original purpose and wasn’t too sure about its timing. 

She knew how much it had pained Wolfy to take that thing in, and she couldn’t carelessly pull it out, fearing that it would hurt Wolfy.

Wolfy's mind was also a jumbled mess. Her body was sensitive after multiple orgasms and still knotted. She didn’t dare to move.

However, she couldn’t just ignore the person who was standing just outside the room. It was, after all, Hilda’s principal wife.

Although she had known Hilda for a long time and that Hilda had promised her the first time, the empire's law forbade her from doing so.

She knew she should leave now. However, something inside her didn’t let her do so. She looked up to meet the eyes of Hilda.

Hilda looked down and noticed Wolfy staring at her. It wasn't the eye of a skilled wolf-warrior or a strict teacher, but the eyes of a tenacious woman who refused to give up what was rightfully hers.

Wolfy tightened her limbs around Hilda, burying her face in Hilda's breast while Hilda considered what to do. Also, at the same time, she felt Rhea had entered the room.

The light from outside the door was casting a massive shadow of Rhea on the bed. Hilda wanted to give an excuse to Rhea, but Wolfy had no intention of letting her go.

As the footsteps came to a halt right beside the bed, her shadow returned to its normal size. In the next moment, Hilda felt a piercing stare at her back.

“Rhea, I can explain.” Hilda wanted to say something, but a pair of soft mounds pressing against her back interrupted her. Like an octopus, Rhea wrapped around her body.

“Rhea.” She called her again. But she received the answer in pain. A pair of jaws had bitten down her back as if Rhea was retaliating with a bite. 

It was a sly love bite. In fact, Rhea had every intention of stealing a piece of Hilda's shoulder. Rhea only realized Hilda was bleeding when she tasted a slight metallic taste inside her mouth.

Yet Hilda was silent and accepted every punishment Rhea wanted to give her. As soon as she tasted the blood, Rhea quickly removed her teeth. 

“Awwa wahoo…” As expected, Rhea’s desperate attempt at whining made little sense to Hilda. But Hilda tried to comfort her.

“This is our first night. And you had already fallen asleep. So I didn’t want to force you.” Even in her ear, Hilda felt it was a very lousy excuse for a cheater.

And Rhea thought so, too. As she had realized that Hilda couldn’t understand her, she gave another vicious bite on Hilda’s back. 

“Ouch…” Hilda squealed in pain, satisfying Rhea's intention. She gave another hard bite as a form of effective protest.

With her body still stuck with Wolfy, all Hilda could do was to accept retaliation, with little shrieks of pain, to satisfy the mind of her punisher.

Hilda had no idea how long Rhea continued to punish her, but the next time she opened her eyes, sunlight was already coming through the gaps of the curtains on the window.

The first thing Hilda felt was the cold sensation that was coming from the wet bed. It was the middle of winter, and intense exercise with Wolfy that had dampened the bed had yet to dry.

Wolfy wasn’t beside her anymore. Hilda understood that Wolfy had already returned to finish her daily work. As she was thinking about yesterday’s endeavor, she felt something was touching her back to remind her of the punishment, too.

A warm hand touched one of the bite spots. Hilda turned to face a pair of bright eyes. A brief moment of surprise was followed by a sudden realization, and the eyes quickly closed shut tight.

Rhea tried to act like she wasn’t doing anything and was still sleeping. Hilda found her action cute and couldn’t help but tease her more.

“Someone was furious last night.” Her words made Rhea’s eyelashes quiver a little. However, she continued to act like she was sleeping.

“Someone was so furious last night that she bit me so hard that blood came out.” Hilda smirked, adding, “I was thinking of spending some time with her. However, I am too afraid that she would still be angry at me, bite me again.”

“Ahh nwajj ananry.” Hilda didn’t need to end her sentence, as Rhea already opened her eyes as she tried to explain. Her anguish was reflecting in her bright, big eyes.

“So you are not sleeping?”

And Rhea realized her mistake and quickly closed her eyes. Yet it was too late. Hilda grabbed the back of her head and pulled her closed, and kissed her. And Rhea’s eyes flung open.

She took Rhea’s upper lips between hers, sucked softly for a moment before letting it go. Even after she had released her, Rhea continued to stare at Hilda with her bright eyes.

She touched her own lips, recalling the soft warmth left by her first kiss. Curious, she touched Hilda's lips before leaping at Hilda in an attempt to recreate the sensation.

“Ahhh.” But before her lip could touch Hilda's, her nose collided with Hilda's. As she covered her nose and continued to stare at Hilda in protest, a veil of tears appeared in her eyes from the sudden pain.

Hilda laughed at her adorable reaction before taking her hand away from her face and kissing her. Rhea attempted to imitate Hilda's action at first but quickly realized that it wasn't the same. As a result, she relinquished control to Hilda.

After determining Rhea's intent, Hilda softly drew her closer before gently massaging the pair of soft lips between her own. 

After a long and tender kiss, Hilda let her go, only realizing that Rhea was staring at her as if her eyes were saying that she was waiting for more.

“What a greedy girl,” Hilda smirked as she gave her princess what she desired. She gave a playful bite to her lips after a while of playing. Rhea pushed her away, surprised by her sudden action, before pouncing on Hilda and biting her lips.

Unlike Hilda, innocent Rhea did not know how to control her strength. Hence, soon Hilda was bleeding from a part of her lips. However, it had an unwanted effect on Hilda. Little aroused, she was about to pounce on Rhea.

*Knock* *Knock*

“My lady.” 

Hilda had no problem understanding who had called from outside, and it confused her a little. Still, she answered, “Come in.”

After entering, Bodil stole a glance at them before quickly averting Hilda’s eyes. Reminded of her master’s night performance, a shade of red appeared on her face.

It was Wolfy's room. Bodil recognized the voice echoing through the manor last night as Wolfy's. When Wolfy sent her to wake Hilda up, she discovered her lady naked with the princess.

‘Did her lady have spent time with both the princess and Wolfy?’ The more she thought about it, the hotter her face became.

On the other hand, Hilda was thinking about another thing. She frowned, mumbling, “is she avoiding me?” 

As long as she wasn't in heat, Wolfy would always wake her up and take care of everything before she went out. Yet, it was different today.

‘After one night, she is doing this to me?’ The more she thought about it, the more agitated she was becoming.

Bodil noticed the shift in mood and quickly explained, “the head maid is receiving the general, the Marchioness Ashgard had sent. The general is waiting at the office.”

However, it didn’t clear Hilda's foul mood. She gave another soft kiss to Rhea, adding, “Freshen up and have breakfast. We will have our lunch together, Okay?”

Receiving her nod, Hilda jumped up from the bed, garbed her robe, and put them on. Bodil quickly asked, “my lady, should I help you clean up.”

She wasn't in the mood to clean anything at the moment. She simply put on the dress she had been wearing the night before. Before storming out, she said, “Assist the princess in cleaning up. Also, give something warm to eat.”

Many maids and servants greeted her as she moved down the corridor. She, on the other hand, was not in the mood to greet them back. She went straight to the manor's office on the first floor.

As soon as the door opened, all the eyes inside the room turned towards her. However, as soon as Hilda’s gaze met the one she was looking for, Wolfy averted her eyes.

“Your highness.” As Hilda was about to talk to Wolfy, an old voice attracted her attention. It was a man with a long white beard. 

From just one look, Hilda was sure this wasn’t a simple man. Although she had never seen this general, she was confident that he was no weaker than the great general Kaison.

“You are?” Hilda pushed the thought of speaking with Wolfy aside for the time being before turning to face the white-beared general.

Even in front of an imperial prince, the old man had no intention of standing up and showing respect. He simply sipped the tea Wolfy had given him.

“How is the little countess doing?” The old man just asked what he wanted to ask. It was clear that he had no intention of answering her.

Hilda couldn't help but frown when she saw him: "Why is this old man so concerned about my princess?"

“Your highness, if I may ask.” The old man looked at her for a moment, asking, “What are you? A man or a woman?”

“Let me remind you, General, that you are talking to the third imperial prince.” Wolfy couldn't stop herself from informing him.

“You are one of the barbarians, right?” The old man looked at Wolfy before asking. “It is normal that you don’t know the ethics. But let me tell you, even the father of the imperial prince you serve wouldn’t dare to remind me of that.”

‘The emperor?’ Hilda couldn’t help taking another look at the old man. Hilda sighed in her heart before ordering, “if the princess has finished her, lead her to come here.”

Wolfy was a little surprised but soon left the room, leaving Hilda and the old man in the room alone.

“How did you convince Eric to lend you a troop from the Ashgard army?” From his reaction, one might think that it was Hilda who had come to pay respect.

‘Eric?’ Hilda tried hard to remember someone who had the audacity to call the emperor by name. Yet none came to her mind. Even the Grand-duke of the empire wouldn’t dare to do so.

“Perhaps my imperial father adores me.”

“That's something Eric could do. After all, he enjoys imprisoning everyone he cares about.” the general said, combed his finger through his beard, and nodded. “It doesn't matter whether it's the freak prince or the sworn brother.”

‘Is he talking about Marquess Ashgard?’ Hilda could understand that she was the freak prince, but the identity of the friend confused him.

“Then let me ask you, why did you marry the little countess?”

“Because I have to survive.” 

Hilda’s straightforward answer brought a rare smile under the white beard. The general asked again, “I heard you were interested in marrying Fiona’s daughter. What changed your mind?”

“Because I liked to keep my enemies closer.”

“Then, do you think the little countess is your enemy?”

“She is my princess.” Staring straight at those sharp eyes, Hilda asked, “But, why does it feel the general is too worried about my princess above anything else?”

The door opened just as the general was about to respond with a smile and gorgeously dressed Rhea walked in. She gave Hilda a shy smile before turning to face the other person.

She paused for a moment before jumping to hug the old man, who was standing with an open arm.
