Years later, they meet again on a pleasure boat in the middle of the river. The virtuous wife he had mourned for so many years, the one held close to his heart, now stands before him with her clothes soaked through, blushing with embarrassment.
He takes a sip of Daughter's Red, then, with practiced restraint and coldness, removes his outer robe and drapes it over the young girl's still-growing figure.
Months later, they meet again at the prince's mansion.
The first time, his sweet little wife beats up a local bully.
The second time, she kicks a spoiled young lord into tears.
The third time, she... well, she kisses him by force.
He keeps a cool expression, but alone at night, he covers the spot she kissed and laughs uncontrollably.
In this life and the next, whether amid romance or vast oceans, whether she is a fierce wife or a sweet one, he will bend only for her.
