Epilogue (3)

Molitias forehead started creasing as she was lost in thought. Raven could easily infer to whom she actually was engrossed about.

How many more children will the maids be inviting for tomorrow?

Thatd be nice as well.

I suppose that youre going to prepare a pony for tomorrow? The weather is still quite chilly, so what should I do with my clothes

Molitia, you can think about tomorrows work, tomorrow itself.

His lips slowly brushed against the temples that he had been constantly thinking about. When a heave of breath was finally relieved upon contact, only then did Molitias lips close themselves.

He has already gone to bed and the maid, along with the nanny will take care of the clothes instead.

Ravens hand had gently patted her shoulder. It also became a tacit statement that rendered alright to just leave it be.

But

My kid is strong.

Molitias lips were then tightly closed.

A child which had been born from her own body. There was a concern lingering in her head for every single day that he might be frail since he looked very similar to herself. As she noticed him eating as well as Raven, it was just comforting to see that he was already as strong as Raven himself.

And you? Have you taken your dinner pills?

Yes, I know.

His head dropped as he looked at Molitia. While holding onto her slender shoulders, he plunged himself through the slight gap between her lips. After he scoured softly through her teeth, he retreated as he had minced his appetite.

Im sure youve eaten them already.

The bitter taste that lingered in her mouth had trailed in his own mouth. It was then followed by a strong flavor of chocolate.

Im not even complaining anymore.

Really? Thats a shame. You were so cute back thenthe way you looked when you were seduced by the reward.

Raven!

It was clear that the Duchess, who had already given birth to a successor, would be laughed at if the rumors were to spread that she had grumbled about it. Raven, who was gazing at Molitias flushed cheeks, drew a faint smile.

It is still like that actually. I can always give you a reward.

Are you the only one who gets a good reward?

How can it be just me

Raven, who was with all smiles, gently pushed Molitia down. The silver locks slowly curled against the soft sheet.

Or will you be rewarding me today instead? This oh-so hardworking husband of yours.

What kind of reward would you like?

Well

What he desired had already been set, but he was peculiarly stretching out his words.

What kind of reward would you like to give?

Well, if its something that I wish to give you then

With her eyes folded nicely, she began tugging onto Ravens neck. As he was gently pulled in by her strength, a series of soft sensations had touched him all over.

Her tongue was moistening his dry lips as it passed by. Then, she parted her eyes gently with her lower lips still thinned.

Is this not enough?

No, not so much.

She had gotten so thirsty herself that she couldnt be quenched even if she drank. Then, his head popped slightly before he began covering her lips whole. It was at that moment when she clung onto his neck and exerted some strength to her hands as the thrilling sensation had taken her breath away while it rang through her lower abdomen as well.

Mother.

A childs voice, which seemed to be mumbling in Molitias ear, could be heard faintly. Was it an auditory hallucination? It had been rather a long time since she left her child with the nanny for bed.

I wish to sleep with my mother, too.

Molitia immediately opened her eyes when she had been touched while quivering under her thin slip. Just a step earlier, Raven had already released his lips from her mouth.

Molitia then quickly picked her clothes up.

Irit, how did you get here?

I saw that my nanny was asleep and so, I sneaked out

Irits shoulders shrank at the fierce eyes of Ravens.

Didnt you say you were sleepy just then?

Its actually to sleep with my mother

The childs words eventually grew smaller and smaller. However, she could understand it clearly without even listening properly. He was actually too brilliant to be called a merely four-year-old child. Molitia sighed before hugging the child.

Didnt I tell you that lying is bad?

Im sorry, but

Youre not supposed to excuse yourself from your own fault. Its not too late to say something only after your mistakes are completely forgiven.

The plump childs forehead sank. Although she was still gentle, her firm voice had the power to make him admit his mistakes quicklyno matter what.

Im sorry

Alright, thats all right.

She patted the childs head while smiling softly. Sweet praises were necessary for a child who acknowledged their own faults.

It was during the moment that Irit, who was brightened up by her laughter, tried to laugh along as well.

Then, you have to go back to your room, Irit.

I dont like to.

Irit.

Ive already come all this way to sleep with Mother.

The child stubbornly grabbed onto the hem of his mothers clothes and didnt let it go. Even when Raven had grabbed the childs waist, he still didnt think about letting her go at all.

Then, shall we sleep together for today?

Really?

Molitia.

Well, what do you think? Its not even every dayitll only be for once.

It was at that moment when his face had frowned. Molitia held the child and put him gently on the bed.

Instead, you shouldnt be sneaking into our room like this after today. Okay?

Yes, I understand!

Molitias eyes softened since the sight of her child nodding vigorously was utterly lovely. However, Raven was entirely different. He barely had enough time for the two of them. The atmosphere had been good just in time, but Irit had shattered itin pieces.
