I Became a Barbarian's Bride - Chapter 123
The pace of his thrusting fingers grew even faster, accompanied by the embarrassing, wet sounds of squelching and slapping that filled the air. Nisha, at a loss, clung to Kagan as if he were her lifeline, unaware of how tightly her arms were wrapped around him, pulling him closer.
Feeling her grip tightening on him, Kagan, thoroughly pleased, smiled and quickened his movements. With one arm securely wrapped around her waist, he ensured she couldn’t escape.
“I’m… I’m going to… I think I’m going to…”
“Do it. It’s okay.”
“N-no, I don’t want to… Ahh…!”
With a sudden gush, something spilled, soaking Kagan’s hand. Nisha’s body trembled in small spasms as Kagan chuckled, planting kisses on her cheek and neck. Nisha, her vision blurry, panted heavily.
“Hah… Hah…”
“Go ahead and sleep now.”
Kagan slowly withdrew his fingers from her, his voice calm and relaxed. He then brought his hand to his lips, licking his fingers in a manner that left Nisha staring in wide-eyed disbelief, her lips parting silently in shock.
“Sleep well, Princess.”
As her vision dimmed, his soothing, low voice reached her ears, and she slowly closed her eyes. In the exhaustion that overtook her, Nisha’s curled toes twitched with the aftershocks of her release.
“See? You’re sleeping just fine.”
Kagan whispered as he gently laid her back down before slipping off the bed. His trousers bulged prominently, a clear indication of his own arousal.
He quietly stepped into the bathroom and splashed cold water over his body.
It was quite some time before Kagan emerged again.

“Kagan, may I submit the report regarding the Roshan Empire that you requested earlier?”
The voice interrupted him just as he was in the middle of working through a stack of overdue documents.
Kagan Xieman paused abruptly, finally receiving the long-awaited news.
“You’re later than I expected.”
Kagan said, setting down the pen he had been moving. The man dressed in black, who had seemingly dropped in from above, quickly prostrated himself, lowering his head.
“My apologies, sir. The situation was more complicated than anticipated, with several intertwined relationships. It took much longer due to multiple cross-verifications to ensure accuracy.”
The prostrated man added in explanation, causing Kagan Xieman’s eyes to narrow.
He turned his gaze to Nisha’s small garden visible below the office window, his brow furrowing in mild displeasure.
Knowing full well what was growing there but being unable to burn it down irked him.
Yet, when he saw his partner crouched in front of it, carefully tending to each plant, the frustration seemed to fade, if only for a moment.
Of course, the irritation would always resurface, dragging his mood down once more.
“Report.”
Kagan Xieman commanded in a low voice, still gazing out the window.
“Yes. First of all, it seems that Katun was treated quite unfairly and poorly in Roshan.”
“…The princess? I thought there were rumors that she was cherished.”
“Well… I thought so at first too, so I looked into it in more detail. But it turns out, that was closer to a performance.”
“A performance?”
“Yes.”
Kagan narrowed his eyes and stopped looking out the window, pulling the curtains closed before fully turning his body.
“Continue.”
“In reality, it is believed that there was continuous abuse and violence, including sadistic acts.”
“……”
When Kagan tilted his head slightly, the man, clearly nervous, quickly moved closer on his knees and handed over a bundle of documents.
Without a word, Kagan took the documents, while the man returned to his original position, sitting in a bowing posture as he continued speaking.
“As is well known, Katun was born from an affair between a maid and the Emperor of Roshan.”
“I know that.”
The Roshan Empire hadn’t exactly hidden that fact, so it was widely known.
“Yes. And the current Empress was a close friend of the former Empress.”
“……”
As he listened, Kagan flipped through the papers.
Inside, there were various pieces of evidence and witness testimonies, as well as interviews with people who had seen or heard about the events.
