Chapter 84 83: Our Last Days (2)

Kat PoV

Looking into the bag from Angels Threads, I grinned widely at the piece of clothing I had gotten.

Both the Countess and Violet had applauded my taste, telling me that Jahi wouldn't leave me alone when she saw me wearing what I bought.

"You have... interesting tastes, Kat."

I looked up at the elven Countess, who was smirking at me.

"Well, now that two others will be joining us, I need a... 'weapon' to keep Jahi coming back to me..."

Chuckling, the Countess just nodded, leaning back into the carriage seat as we made our way home.

The ride was comfortable, with the Countess sitting beside me and rhythmically stroking my hair.

Reaching the estate, we exited the carriage, stretching our muscles from a long ride.

Taking most of the bags and boxes, I used my wind magic to lift what I couldn't carry, making us of this situation to practice my mana control.

As we walked, the Countess started speaking.

"Just a reminded, Kat. The Academy isn't going to be kind to you; Jahi's peers will not treat you as well as we have. To them, you are but a maid. They certainly don't know about you and her being bound by the soul, nor that she wishes to make you her official wife.

Many will call you all sorts of names, as to them you are just some commoner using her body to seduce your mistress and get a better life. Even if the words sting, you need to control yourself; you need to especially control Jahi."

I nodded, responding with a sigh.

"I don't plan on speaking to many of our peers in general; most have seemed insufferable, besides some lower ranked nobles and Draka. Haha, and if I plan on proving them wrong, what better way than just having better grades and a better performance than them?"

The Countess chuckled, glancing over at me as she said "That would certainly be better than you, oh I don't know, deciding to slit one of their throats as they sleep."

I widened my eyes at her, only to pout as she grinned at me.

"Trust me, I know that feeling better than you do; in fact, I have killed a few annoying pests in the past. However, I was able to use my political sway to fabricate enough evidence to help me..."

Trailing off, the Countess' grin turned cold, looking at me with her shining azure eyes.

"I truly understand the want to keep your lover to yourself, but if I hear anything about someone being killed while you are at the Academy, and I find that you are the culprit, I will chain you up in the basement. Jahi doesn't need an irresponsible toy to lay with, especially not when she is now taking in a Princess of our Empire and the Begum of the Sultanate."

I gulped, her eyes narrowing as her mana flared slightly, only to be replaced by her warm smile.

Nodding fervently, I sighed in relief when she turned back towards the estate, humming softly to herself.

Thinking over what she said, I had a small smile when I heard her admittance to using drastic measures to keep the Marquess hers and hers alone.

Maybe I was more like her than I thought...

Opening the large doors for the Countess, I was met with the sight of a chuckling Marquess as she pulled Jahi towards the door by her ear, making her daughter glare at her.

Hearing the door open, the Marquess turned towards us with a large grin, while Jahi froze slightly, her eyes gold as she stared at me.

Raising a brow, I moved behind the Countess, bowing slightly to the Marquess before excusing myself.

I watched as the Marquess dragged her wife away, her hands wandering as she walked beside her wife.

As for Jahi...

Tilting my head, I looked at the shuffling demoness, who flinched slightly when I approached.

Sighing, I gestured towards the large amount of packages, asking "Where would you like me to store these, Mistress?"

Looking at me through her lashes, Jahi took a deep breath before muttering "Maybe mom was wrong..?"

Waiting, I watched as Jahi's eyes went back to her normal amethyst, and she sighed before smiling at me.

"Let's put them in our room; I want to see what mother dragged you around to get!"

Anput PoV

I groaned as I woke up, my body sticky from the heat that had consumed me last night.

Getting up, I stretched out my taut muscles, shuffling into my bath before quickly washing myself clean.

Picking up a basic skirt and my spool of cloth, I dressed myself, wrapping my breasts before scooping up my sword.

I made my way towards the large training grounds behind the palace, where the various guards and soldiers trained.

Like always the ground was filled with training warriors, and whenever I passed someone they bowed to me before resuming their spars.

Reaching the back, I watched as mother danced around the clearing, three of our warriors attempting to team up on her, only to receive blows to their limbs in reprimand.

"Come on you three! I taught you better than that! Is this what the Sera Tribe has fallen to!?"

Growling in annoyance, mother flickered around the clearing, her wooden blade slamming into the warriors backs, sending them flying to the ground.

Scoffing, she turned to look at me, a brow raised as she chuckled.

"Oh, has my daughter finally quelled her heat? You were quite loud all of lost night~"

I froze, looking at the large grin my mother wore.

"'Oh Jahi~ Please, make me yours~'"

"'Kat, ah~ Just like that~ Oh, you're gonna make me..!~'"

My blood ran cold as she imitated my voice, my body shivering as I realized that I had just provided my ruthless mother more ammunition to use against me.

However, before I could try and defend what little honor I had left, I felt someone place their hand on my shoulder.

Turning, I saw the black veiled head of mom, who chuckled.

Her low, raspy voice cut across the field, making mother shiver as she spoke.

"Yet, I seem to remember you pleading under me all of last night? Hmm, what was it again..?"

Mother gulped, her tail swishing as she looked at mom with a slightly fearful expression.

Taking a step forwards, mom clasped her hands behind her back as she leaned towards mother, whispering something I couldn't hear.

Mother fell to her knees, covering her face as she shook her head, making mom chuckle again.

Turning back to me, mom kneeled in front of me, taking my left hand as she looked at the ring I wore.

"I... never thought the day would come that I was sending my little pup away to some woman's arms..."

Her thumb gently traced the back of my hand, before she sighed.

Pulling me closer, mom pulled me into a hug, whispering "Just let me know if she treats you wrong; even if it means war I'll dismember her and parade her around their Empire..."

I shivered at her words, before chuckling as I leaned into her.

"It won't come to that mom~ Jahi's not like that..."

Sighing, she pulled away, turning to look over the still shaking form of mother.

"You'll learn a whole new kind of fighting, Anput. I hope you have the same talent there that you do in warfare."

Ruffling my ears, mom walked over to mother, scooping her up before making her way back to the palace, mother still trembling as she stared at mom with lust filled eyes.

I chuckled at the sight, before unsheathing my blade.

I needed time to pass...

All last night did was turn that roaring flame to embers; it didn't put the fire out at all.

Taking a deep breath, I went through my routine, loosing myself to the straining of my muscles and weight of the blade.

Leone PoV

I found myself sitting on my bed, the ring in my hand as I looked down at it.

I couldn't contain my grin anymore...

After mother gave me a talking to, I had decided to be optimistic.

Jahi was fond of me...

What would she do to me when we met?

Would she k-k-k-kiss me!?!

Letting out a 'kya~' I rolled around the bed, the scene playing out over and over in my mind.

However, I calmed down, the scene quickly replaced with something else.

Licking my lips, I ran my tongue over my now sharp fangs, which ached terribly after reading the letter.

What appeared in my mind was the sight of Jahi's blue neck, how incredibly soft it looked...

Would she taste sweet, just like she smelt?"

Salivating, my thoughts turned darker.

How would Kat taste?

How would they both taste over the years?

Would they age like wine?

Growing sweeter and sweeter as I continuously became one with them...

Grabbing my pillow, I burrowed my face into it, panting as I imagined the sight of Jahi in my arms, my teeth sunk into her smooth, pale blue neck as I marked her as mine.

Yes...

They would be mine, just like I would be theirs...

I needed these days to pass...

My throat was dry, my fangs ached, and I was hot...

I wanted them NOW!

Ah...

Well, um...

Leone is...

Yeah.
