In A World Full of Silence, My Heart Will Find Its Way To You - Chapter 115

The sweet and gentle waltz melody continuously enveloped and flowed through the banquet.

Even amidst the ongoing joyful atmosphere, the guests’ eyes remained fixed on today’s main characters.

At the grand gathering where everyone’s blessings were present, the red sunset gradually settled upon their shoulders.

As the wedding banquet was coming to an end, Emperor Carlos was the first to rise from his seat. At the emperor’s signal, Eric stepped out to see him off.

Carlos stopped in his tracks on his way to the carriage and stared intently at Eric.

“Deputy Commander Eric, no.” Count Graph and the Marquis. Did they say they would head to the estate as soon as the banquet is over? Did you say you would head to the estate as soon as the wedding reception is over?

“We plan to leave as soon as the meal is over.”

“Anyway, about my temperament.” “Anyone would think I’m going to eat them.”

“Could that possibly be true?”

Seeing Eric bow his head, Emperor Carlos narrowed his eyes.

“Graphran is not that far from the palace.” You know well why that territory, which even the loyal subjects could not recklessly covet, was granted to you, right? “Do you know why that territory, which even the officials couldn’t recklessly covet, was granted to you?”

“I humbly accept Your Majesty’s will.” I plan to return to the palace as soon as everything is settled.

“Yeah.” In the future, there will be many changes in the royal family. I hope you will be part of that change. “If you protect me, I wouldn’t ask for anything more.”

“I will keep that in mind.”

Carlos softly narrowed his eyes and spoke quietly in response to Eric’s answer.

“I’ll use this as an excuse to keep you from moving an inch by my side.” The thrill of being the only one holding the leash of a wolf that cannot be tamed by anyone else… You wouldn’t understand.

After finishing his words, Carlos smiled confidently. Instead of answering, Eric knelt down and showed his respect.

Carlos lightly placed his hand on Eric’s shoulder and headed straight to the carriage.

As Eric watched the emperor’s back, a short gasp escaped his lips.

“Indeed, Your Majesty. That’s cruel.”

At that moment, when I was shaking my head slightly, Henry hurriedly approached.

“I heard it through the escort knight.” I heard from the escort knight that you will head to the territory as soon as the banquet is over.

“It won’t take long.” I’ll be away for a few days, so for now, you’ll have to handle things in my place.

“How many days?” Isn’t it a bit too short for a honeymoon? Isn’t the deadline a bit too short for a newlywed couple?

Henry’s eyes widened in surprise. Seeing his face harden, Eric faintly raised the corners of his mouth.

“That’s Your Majesty’s condition.”

“Yes…?” No matter what, you should have asked for a generous deadline! Miss Reynolds, or rather, Mrs. Reynolds, would be so disappointed if she knew about this.

“Well.” Unfortunately, I’m just a loyal dog who must follow your command, Your Majesty.

Eric walked towards his wife with a crooked smile. Henry stared quietly at his back and clicked his tongue.

“Not a loyal dog, but a crazy wolf that could go berserk at any moment…”

He muttered to himself and followed his boss.

* * *

A wide garden in front of the royal guard’s castle. There, a carriage pulled by four horses and more than twenty guard knights were waiting.

As Eric and Aria, now changed into their clothes, walked up to the carriage, they opened the carriage door as if they had been waiting for them.

“Hurry up and get in.” Even if it’s close, there’s still a distance. We need to leave in a hurry to arrive by tomorrow morning.

“Got it.”

The carriage carrying the two of them began to move slowly with a clattering sound at Eric’s command.

Aria lifted her eyelids and looked up at the palace.

Before long, the dark night air was filled with the imperial crest fluttering on the flag at various places around the fortress.

The darkened massive castle walls boldly expressed the empire’s solid status.

“There have been so many things happening here.” Will I be able to come back again…

As Aria gazed at the slowly receding palace, she faintly smiled while recalling the events of the past.

Then, suddenly sensing a presence, I shifted my gaze.

Eric, sitting across from me, leaned his arms against the window and gazed out at the scenery with a deep, contemplative look in his eyes. His pupils were heavily shadowed with dark circles.

Whether it’s because of the work I’ve been handling for the Bailey family or due to worries about the future, I’m not sure.

Aria glanced at her husband sitting across from her.

The hair, tousled by the cool breeze coming through the window, matched well with the light shirt.

Just by looking at it like this, a bright smile naturally comes to my face.

Aria didn’t want to disturb his thoughts, so she maintained a hollow silence.

It was then, simply letting my body sway with the carriage and turning my gaze to the window.

“Finally, everything is over.” You informed the apothecary’s assistant about heading to the territory, right? “Did you inform the apothecary’s servant that we are heading to the estate?”

At Eric’s question, Aria tore her gaze away from the outside and quickly turned to Eric.

At some point, Eric had been gazing at himself with a languid expression.

“Yes.” If there’s no contact at all, I feel like I’ll just be worrying.

“Good job.” I’m thinking of making him the head butler of our mansion. What do you think? “Should we make him the butler of our mansion? What do you think?”

“Really, really?” I….”

Aria’s pupils, trailing off in her speech, began to subtly tremble. Whether it was because of how cute she looked, a faint smile escaped Eric’s lips.

“Do it that way.” From now on, the management of the estate and the castle will all be the lady of the house’s responsibility. If you want, you can call the scattered servants of the Reynolds family.

“Is it really okay…?” “Is it really okay…?”

“Of course.” “Because you are my priority.”

Eric, with a more relaxed face, smiled for a moment but then quickly stiffened his expression.

“By the way, there’s something I haven’t told you.”

“……?”

“I have to return to the palace soon.”

“You’re going back to the palace?” I expected it, but… Then how long can I stay in the territory? Then how long can I stay in the estate?

“About two or three days.”

“Two or three days?! Could it be the Emperor’s command? “Could it be the Emperor’s command?”

Eric, who had been staring blankly at Aria, tightly shut his mouth. Aria’s pupils began to shake uncontrollably.

I thought I could be with Eric for a few months. The fact that that sweet time was getting shorter felt like despair to me.

Aria awkwardly turned her gaze away. And to avoid showing any disappointment, she lowered her head.

Because I didn’t want to show a weak side that just whines all the time.

Eric’s gaze settled quietly on her face, and soon a robust figure sat down next to Aria.

His rough hands pulled Aria’s waist towards me in one swift motion.

As Eric’s intense gaze lightly swept over her, Aria’s mind went blank for a moment.

Aria stammered with a flustered look in her eyes.

“Well, what if the reporters see it?”

“No matter what anyone says, you are my wife.” Why should I care about them? Why should I care about them?

“This is not a carriage.” There are many eyes watching from outside! “There’s a lot of scrutiny from outside!”

“Eyes, huh….” So, does that mean it’s okay if I do it this way? Then does that mean it’s okay if I do it this way?

Eric started to draw the curtains that were hanging by the window. Then, along with the dimming outside, the inside of the carriage quickly darkened.

“Is this enough?” “Is this enough?”

“…….”

A moment of silence. Eric’s index finger lightly landed on Aria’s nose.

Without realizing it, Aria’s gaze was drawn to Eric’s lips. The sultry, suggestive smile made her breath hitch again today.

Aria bit the inside of her lip gently. So that the instinct of losing reason doesn’t consume her.

Eric gently kissed her slowly blinking eyes.

“I don’t have time.” Before tonight ends, we also need to consummate the marriage. If I don’t fulfill my duties to my wife from the first night, wouldn’t that be shameful? “Isn’t it shameful if you don’t fulfill your duties to your wife from the very first day?”

Aria swallowed dryly instead of answering. From the beginning, she had no choice at all.

All of this must be part of Eric’s plan.

When a subtle crack appeared on his face, Aria tried to hide her trembling heart by composing her expression. But her heart was only thumping loudly.

Eric removed each ornament from Aria’s head and placed them on the floor. Inside the carriage, only the sound of Eric unbuttoning his shirt echoed.

Eric’s hand brushed against the strap of Aria’s dress. As he pulled down the strap, her white body was revealed between them without any filter.

“Wait, just a moment…”

Before she could stop him, Eric’s fingers lightly moved down from her shoulder to her chest.

The rounded chest and waist, and the plump, white thighs. Eric lightly touched them, fiddling and caressing.

As a result, a faint warmth began to rise from her body, which had been stiff with tension.

As Aria tried to gather her wits, wrapping her arms around herself, Eric narrowed his eyes slightly.

“Is this intentional?” There are all sorts of techniques to get me worked up.

“What do you mean…!” Ah! Oops!

Eric firmly grasped Aria’s hand with his own and then laid her upper body down. He lazily traced his fingers over Aria’s perky breasts and smooth waistline.

“Now there’s no turning back.” You are now mine. No one dares to touch what’s mine.

With a sly smile, Eric slowly moved his fingers again. A strange sensation caused Aria’s face to gradually flush.

When the hard part on her chest was touched, the thrilling sensation made Aria unknowingly squeeze her eyes shut.

The hot lips bit roughly at that place. The more tense my whole body became, the more my breath quickened, and my waist stiffened.

“Ugh.” P-Please…! “Please…!”

Unknowingly, Aria’s voice trembled slightly. As if enjoying it, Eric blew his breath into her ear.

“I want to hear it.” The name you call.

“Th-that’s enough…”

Grabbing his broad shoulders and pleading, Eric opened Aria’s trembling lips and swallowed them whole in one go.

A heavy and slippery something relentlessly penetrated my delicate skin. Every time Eric’s waist moved roughly, Aria could only struggle.

“Speak, hurry up.”

“Ugh…!”

Eric pushed deeper into me. A single tear welled up in the corner of Aria’s tightly shut eyes and fell. It had long been forgotten that she used to worry about others mocking her for it.

Covering her body in the dark night air, she let out a moan.

“Eric…!”

Holding onto Eric’s shoulder as they kissed, she accepted everything about him. In the cold night air, intensely and dizzyingly.

Clatter clatter. The carriage, completely unaware of the situation inside, was rushing along the winding mountain road towards a new land.

I will go to you, who are silent.
