Jungkook nodded with a complicated expression but couldn’t help asking, “Wait a moment, dear. How does sharing respect with a reverent heart turn into briefly rubbing bodies together?”

Lisa wanted to give a clear answer, but she didn’t fully understand the connection herself. There were too many incomprehensible words in the priestess’s explanation, and the Big’s remarks lacked coherence.

She blinked at him, lost for words. He seemed to find something amusing, as he kept laughing and failed to grasp the crucial points.

Irritated, Lisa pointed to her chest. “Anyway, this part doesn’t matter. It’s not used. Do you understand?”

Jungkook patted her head gently. “What I’m trying to do is make that painful process less agonizing.”

“No, you must have learned wrong…” Lisa shook her head. But Jungkook, undeterred, gently laid her back down and whispered, “If you keep resisting, we won’t get anywhere. This is the only way I know how.”

He knew she would eventually yield, which annoyed her even more.

“I’m doing this to save you, Jungkook. Why are you being so stubborn?”

“To save me? Because your intention touches me deeply, it makes me want to take even more time. I don’t want to cause my dear wife any pain,” he said, pointing to her upper body with a shameless grin.

“None of this makes any sense,” Lisa murmured in disbelief.

“Sometimes I feel the same way with you. It’s nice to share this understanding process,” Jungkook teased.

“Just hurry up and…”

“It would help greatly if you didn’t say anything at all.”

With that, he resumed kissing her face and neck. Lisa, realizing he wouldn’t relent, resigned herself to lying still.

Watching his actions, she knew there would be no consummation tonight. How long would it take to teach this clueless man and complete their wedding night? She closed her eyes, trying to quell her growing impatience.

“It’s ambiguous.”

The next day, while Gella was away for a while, the two royal maids discovered hickey marks on Lisa’s neck.

“Exactly. So, did they do it or not?”

“What’s going on suddenly? Did getting a lover bring about a change of heart?”

“Oops, the lover is back.”

As Gella returned, the two maids fell silent as if they hadn’t been talking at all.

Gella didn’t mind the awkward silence and continued with her own concerns, “The clothes Young Madam Lisa changed into yesterday haven’t dried yet, so she only has two dresses left for today.”

She had changed four times in total yesterday—once after visiting the garden and once after meals. Gella worried about the lack of clothes as she helped the young madam out of her nightgown. Then,

“Uh, it’s not eczema…”

Gella closely examined the reddish marks below Lisa’s prominent collarbone. When she realized what they were, her face turned bright red.

“Oh? Oh! Ah…”

The two maids were keenly observing Gella’s reaction, entirely focused. Lisa thought it was fortunate since she found it hard to act naturally out of embarrassment.
