The Knight’s Night, Leonora’s Love and Her Unexpected True Face
Having glimpsed a new abyss of love with Celestina, Akio’s heart turned next to his fourth wife, the former knight Leonora. Between them existed a unique bond, distinct from his other wives, and their own secret rituals.
That day, Akio spent a calm moment with Leonora and their daughter Elsa in a corner of the central hall’s training grounds. Elsa, with her mother’s sturdy build, toddled about, joyfully swinging a small wooden sword Akio had made. Leonora watched her daughter with a soft, maternal smile—utterly different from the stern expression of her knight days.
“Elsa may have inherited my strength. She might grow up to be a fine knight, protecting this town alongside you, Akio-sama.”
Leonora spoke proudly. Akio lifted Elsa gently and nodded at her words.
“Yes, if she becomes a knight as strong and kind-hearted as you, I’d be overjoyed as her father.”
Feeling both Leonora’s pride as a knight and her deep love as a mother up close, Akio renewed his affection for her. Throughout the day, centered on Elsa’s innocent laughter, the three shared a warm, somewhat dignified family time.
That night, after Elsa began breathing soundly in sleep, Akio and Leonora were alone in the bedroom. The lamp’s light outlined Leonora’s honed yet feminine figure.
Facing her, Akio spoke with a mischievous yet earnest gaze.
“Leonora… tonight, would you… spar with me a little?”
Leonora’s cheeks flushed faintly. She understood perfectly that Akio’s “sparring” was no mere play—it was his way of showing love by respecting her not just as a wife, but as Eldoria’s strongest knight, touching her very soul.
“… If that is Akio-sama’s wish,” Leonora replied briefly, resolve gleaming in her eyes.
That night, their lovemaking took on a completely different character from his nights with the other wives.
Akio met Leonora’s iron will and tempered body head-on with strength and skill. It was a grappling match on the bed—a fierce yet sacred rite probing each other’s limits. Leonora gritted her teeth against Akio’s unfathomable power, responding with a knight’s pride on the line.
“I can… still go…! I, Leonora… will take all of you, Akio-sama…!”
Sweat beaded on her forehead, her breathing grew ragged, but the pride in her eyes never wavered. Finally, when both body and mind reached their limit, she gasped in Akio’s arms, uttering the words he had longed to hear.
“I yield…! I-I can go no further…! Akio-sama, you are… my true liege…!”
Hearing those words, Akio felt profound satisfaction and an overwhelming surge of affection. It was a moment of absolute trust and devotion.
After the intense “sparring,” Akio held Leonora close and began caressing her entire body with unparalleled gentleness. He combed her hair, wiped her sweat, and whispered words of love. At this unprecedented tenderness, Leonora’s tension melted away, her stern expression slowly softening.
Then, astonishingly, Leonora—who was always the clumsiest in bed and knew nothing of coquetry—suddenly pressed herself against Akio like a different person.
“Akio… -sama… more…”
In a small, shy, yet unmistakable voice, she sought his caresses. This side of her was unbelievably adorable and stirred his protective instincts, utterly unlike the gallant knight of the day or the Leonora of moments ago. Akio’s heart was seized by this gap.
(So Leonora… wanted to be spoiled like this all along…)
He let her have her way. With clumsy yet earnest affection, Leonora nuzzled against him, buried her face in his chest, and even initiated kisses.
(Ah, this is unbearable…! From now on, I’ll spoil Leonora more. This gap is the ultimate charm…!)
The two reignited once more. This time, it wasn’t tension but raw, honest love and desire clashing in pure, fierce abandon. It was true “passionate baby-making,” baring everything and melting into one.
How much time passed? Unusually, Leonora fell asleep first in Akio’s arms, her breathing peaceful. Her sleeping face was as serene as an innocent girl’s.
Akio gazed at her lovingly and whispered in his heart.
(Thank you, Leonora. I’m so glad you’re here…)
The proud knight’s unexpected nighttime true face and profound love. Akio discovered another irreplaceable charm in his wife and deepened their bond that night.
