Chapter 1: The First Night

“... Tiana, relax.

Adele says, looking down at me.

A body lined with trained muscles, from tight shoulders to chest and abdomen. 

The hard, hot member in the center was pressed against the back of my open legs.

“It's impossible ... ! It’s too big, pull it out and make it smaller ...!” 

He shakes his head 

“It’s too late, idiot.”

He spoke with a pang in his voice, if he continued moving, he would enter me.

Adele and I have been attending the same school since we were six years old, and that was the extent of our relationship. Of course, we were never lovers, but rather, people who couldn’t get along at all, a disagreeable pair ... 

Now that we're 18 years old, we were about to cross this irreversible line.

*******************

In the Skinia Empire-a mighty monarchy that has been trying to dominate the western half of the continent for ages- there was once a separate kingdom at the tip of the continent.

The Principality of Arita- our beautiful homeland which had an open harbor and prospered independently in peace- had remained neutral as it was very small.

The Principality eventually accepted control with little resistance to the invasion of the Empire.

It’s been 12 years since then.

The sons and daughters, who were former aristocrats of the Principality of Arita, were assimilated into the Imperial education system. The main aristocratic heirs all entered the “Great Imperial Academy” built in the former capital of the Principality, at the age of six.

Over the next 12 years, each recognizable skill would be refined and developed into a useful human resource for the empire.

The final stage of the training is in the spring of our 18th year.

Held a month before graduation from the Imperial Academy called an “adult ceremony”.

At the castle of the former Arita Lord, now used by officials and the military dispatched from the Empire.

Spring, when flowers bloom in the garden of the castle.

I, Tiana Klein, was heading to a specific room in this castle.

There are small but beautifully decorated doors that used to be rooms for knights who served the Lord.

I opened one of them without knocking.

A bay window facing the courtyard in the back of the room.

A young man with dark blonde hair, sitting on a large sofa with one knee over the other, leans back and looks out the bay window.

He glances at me with a sour attitude.

We hold gazes for a moment before ... sigh.

“Why are you my partner ... “

Adele says with a tired tone.

“Ha, I was just about to ask the same thing.”

I return. 

We both sigh again. 

“I don’t think I’ll ever get it up with you ... “

“Same here! You’re ... “

Somehow I feel like I have to respond with some obscene words, and I think about it for a moment, but I keep my mouth shut. Even though it has fallen, I still have pride as a Countess.

“ ... Nevermind, I give up.”

Adele raises his eyebrows and laughs like a fool at my small mutter.

“Are you starting with that crushed attitude?”

“Do you have any complaints?”

“How immature.”

Very fitting of him--

I inadvertently stepped on the ground directly in front of him, trying desperately to suppress my anger.

Tonight, I have to be embraced by this man.

To bear a child by pairing with a match decided by the upper ranks of the Empire.

That is the rule of the “adult ceremony” that is imposed on all the aristocratic heirs who turn 18.

It’s our turn tonight. When we were six years old, we had a lot of fights whenever we saw each other. Always fighting until we were 10 years old. That was when we were separated into groups of men and women. I’ve taken good care of myself since.

Now I must offer my virginity to him.
