Agleria's POV
***
“N-now?” I didn't expect Levious to ask me to sleep with him in the morning. Wouldn't it be better to do that at night?
“There are no official rules about that, Luna. I might be busy tonight.”
I tried to swallow my saliva with difficulty and then nodded stiffly. To be honest, I wasn't ready, but I also couldn't refuse my husband's request to produce offspring for us. “Y-yes, King Levious.”
“Levi. You can call me Levi.”
I nodded again. “Yes, Levi. But... I have to take out all my hairpins and my dress first, so—”
“Sure.”
I sat at a dressing table to remove the hairpins from my hair while awkwardly glancing at Levious from the side several times. Meanwhile, Levi tried to take off all his clothes, leaving only his shorts on, then walked to the bathroom.
“This dress is so difficult,” I thought to myself after several minutes of trying to reach behind me to grab the zipper.
Suddenly, a large hand began to unzip my dress. Levious lowered the zipper and deliberately stroked my back with his fingers all the way down. It really made me almost lose my mind and become even more awkward.
“Speak up if you need help, Luna.”
I was having trouble breathing right now. "Le-Levious... Can I clean myself up for a moment? I—
“Your body smells wonderful. You don't need to bathe.” King Levious stared at me coldly and flatly from the dressing table mirror. “I don't have time, Luna. Lie down and let's see if fate allows us to have a son.”
“S-sure.”
I slowly began to lie down on the bed with my legs and arms close together. I was really nervous and just waiting for Levious's orders at this moment.
“I can't unhook your bra and shorts with one hand. Can you do it for me, Luna?”
Agleria felt her body heat up at that moment. “Y-yeah. Sure.”
Right now, I wasn't wearing a single thread. It was cold, I was freezing, and I hugged my body gently. I also deliberately crossed my legs to give myself a little warmth.
“I am your husband. You don't need to be shy,” said Levious, who was currently only wearing a white towel wrapped around his slim waist.
I could clearly see all the perfectly formed muscles of his stomach, arms, and chest.
The man was still standing on the side of the bed with his body facing me, then he asked. “Do you still feel guilty about doing this?”
I bit my lip and shook my head slightly. “I... I don't think so.”
“Then why are you still in this position?” Levious climbed onto the bed and held my wrists so I couldn't hug him again. “Relax, because I'm going to treat you gently tonight. Isn't that what you want?”
We stared at each other for a few seconds, and I didn't dare answer my husband's question.
“This is also my first time doing something like this in my life, Luna... but I'm going to play on my instincts as a grown man... I hope you do the same.”
"Y-yes, Levi."
He smiled. "Good wife."

A few hours later, I woke up from exhaustion. I still remember that our game stopped because I asked for it to. I didn't know if Levi was angry or not because my head was spinning at the time.
“Ah, my whole body hurts.” I saw that his side of the bed was empty. Those brown eyes scanned the entire room, but didn't see my husband there.
I was exhausted because I hadn't slept all day for today's wedding party. So after making love, I completely lost my energy and finally fell into a deep sleep.
I tried to sit up and ask whoever was there, “Where is he?”
My hand reached out to grab the white blanket on the floor and wrap it around my body.
“It's already night time. Maybe Levi went to see the king's advisor.”
I tried to walk, but both my thighs felt very sore. So I had to take small steps to the bathroom so that the pain wouldn't shoot through my body again.
My feet stopped in front of a large mirror on the right side of the white cabinet when I arrived at the bathroom. “My hair is very messy.”
I tried to comb my hair with my fingers because I couldn't find a comb there. Immediately, my eyes were drawn to the red marks around my neck and upper chest when I looked in the mirror, and I tried to touch that area.
"All these red marks are making me embarrassed."
At that very moment, I stared at myself in the mirror with one big question suddenly popping into my head. Am I on the right path? What if this doesn't work out the way I hoped?
What if I'm pregnant with a baby girl? She'll probably hate me for not being able to provide a father figure for her. How would I live my life if that happened?
I finally decided to clean myself with cold water running from the shower so that the negative thoughts could go away for a while.
“I never thought my life would be this miserable.”
