A thudding cadence sprawled out along the tiles, the hard soles down below clicking as the figure fidgeted. Moving the arms with brisk motions, she used a fork to toss the streaky piece of meat.

  Suddenly, the sizzle battle against the rhythmic steps, all while the blaze underneath faded its brilliance away as the window welcomed in lighter shades.

  Glancing suddenly to the side whilst humming, Raeyine stared at the peeking sun with a fleeting gaze, only to nimbly appear in front of the over doors. Handling them bare, she didn’t abate in front of the hot airs, instead pushing her arms inside even deeper.

  Pulling towards her at once, she quickly put the freshly baked loaf near her face, smelling the bare, fainter compared to the crust score. Smiling from the scents, the girl moved towards the table behind her before letting it rest there for a while.

  At the same time, she still didn’t come back to the sizzling meat, already starting to extinguish its shrieks. Three large eggs found themselves in her hands, just one enough to busy her hand. Right after when her legs led her over to the pan, the maid cracked them inside, beginning to stir thoroughly and mingling it together with the seared bacon.

  Immediately, even before her hands circled them around, they had already scrambled at the bottom. Mixing in to form a glistening yet vaguely crumbling, yellow texture, the girl sprinkled in a dash of salt before giving it a last, nippy stir and taking it over to the table. A clean plate already readied itself for her, to which the girl emptied the whole pan to.

  Putting the iron inside an empty sink, she simply left it there before taking a fork and a knife for herself, along with the butter ready to be smeared all over the bread.

  Once again, a smile beamed across the girl’s face after tasting the eggs. Then, she hastily reached for the bread, cutting it into it before a puff of steam rose up through the dawned upon kitchen.

  While the fiery radiance calmed down beyond the windows, with the sun raising itself steadily, the girl took the last bits of her final slice, smearing the crumb all over the plate before eating it whole. Chewing through, she also finished the tea, only to release a faint breath as her figure stood up from the chair.

  Taking the items towards the sink, she turned the knobs immediately. Scrubbing through the plate and the pan with just some soap and bare hands, they were promptly left to dry on the side of the sink.

  Washing herself before using a cloth, Raeyine no longer paid any attention to the freezing landscape beyond, placing her back to the sun whilst opening the doors of the kitchen and quickly walking through the corridors, heading towards a certain part of the mansion.

  Within a few tens of breaths, she had overcome the stairs. The first floor illuminated itself, darkened by the lack of windows, yet lightened through the crystals along the walls.

  Walking through the middle, she steadily passed the lights, only for an oddity to occur. One by one, as she stepped along the space, the light to the left side of the corridor had all vanished by the time she reached the end.

  Turning around, she swiftly did the same on the other side. Raeyine switched off the lights in a brisk manner, yet she couldn’t help but slow down slightly as her gaze welcomed in the doors to Zyponia’s bedroom.

  Still, the amber eyes only lingered around them as she walked closer, eventually passing the doors before moving forward to finish her task. Though, just as the girl was about to take a new step, her figure froze over before instantly turning around.

  Glaring deeply into the wood of the doors, her eyebrows hesitated, but she still took a step further. Stretching out her left hand, she pressed the palm over the wood, only for her brows to crease inwardly further.

  Taking a step back, she glanced to her right sparingly before sprawling out her arm, dimming the lights ahead all in one go before once again coming closer to check her doubts. Still, it was more of the same, her dubious eyes finally giving in to the curiosity before silently opening the doors inside.

  With unhurried and silent steps, Raeyine walked through the carpet while constantly keeping watch along the red curtains, trying to peer at the shadows inside with little success. Her breath slightly raised, she slowly edged herself closer and closer to the curtains, only to finally grab onto them with her dainty fingers.

  A brisk motion left her arm, briskly for her figure to immure in place as she fully witnessed the duo. Staggering with her mouth open, Raeyine’s sight froze as she simply stood there, unable to comprehend the images. The vision danced across her eyes vividly, constantly since the girl made no efforts in going back.

  Lying on their sides, tucked into each other snugly, Lutiel’s left arm wrapped underneath the lady’s bright hairs. Meanwhile, the other surrounded her chest, sinking his fingers into her left breast. Breathing calmly and paying no heed to the outside world, the two slept together calmly.

  The maid’s eyes shook suddenly before she fumbled with a step back, closing the curtains and speedily moving back. Shutting the doors with gingerly manners, she was ready to start running when her figure once again froze in place, flinching at the girl leaning against the wall on her right.

  “What do you think? Did you like the image?” Folvana asked briskly, a smirk broadening itself along the face.

  “I didn’t see anything,” the maid replied immediately, resuming her composure. “I was only replenishing Zyponia’s dresses, nothing else,” she quickly corrected her glasses, staring sternly at the girl.

  A case of literary theft: this tale is not rightfully on Amazon; if you see it, report the violation.

  “You’re always so tense when you lie,” her golden eyes scoured through the uniform while her figure no longer draped over the wall. Before long, the hands around Raeyine’s shoulders turned her towards the doors again. “Weren’t you constantly joking that she wants to sleep with him? Why are you acting like you’re not curious? Actually, do you want me to tell you something?”

  “What?” Raeyine asked eventually, sparing a look around Folvana. Instead, she kept staring at the floor while the other girl moved over to her ears.

  With her eyes widening more and more the longer she whispered to her ears, the maid’s pale lips finally parted. “W-what? Why?” The stuttered tongue finally looked back at the golden gleam, shaking comparably to when she witnessed Lutiel and Zyponia sleeping together.

  “What do you mean why?” She asked whilst furrowing her eyebrows. “If I’m meant to give away my freedom, of course I will try the goods first. Aren’t you doing the same?”

  “H-huh?” Once again, she stuttered. “No! He’s with Zyponia now, besides, you can’t be sure if it will work with him. You’re just excusing yourself to have sex with~!” Her voice started to grow through the corridor, only for a finger to shut the lips together.

  “Do you want our lovebirds to wake up or what?” Folvana’s vague scowl asked, only to fade back to her impassiveness. “Maybe you’re right about the last part, but it was my first time with him. Yet.”

  “Haa, I don’t know what to say anymore,” she uttered, only to turn to her side after feeling Folvana’s face brush against her cheeks.

  “Just do what you think is right. That thinking led me all the way to my position,” the red-haired girl sparked up, making Raeyine sigh anew.

  “You’re not making this any easier.”

  “Yeah? What if I told you he grows in energy every time he does it? Even after ejaculating by himself?” She asked, stepping back before glancing solemnly at the curiously furrowed brows of the maid.

  “What?”

  …

  Jolting suddenly across the man’s eyelids, the throbs were followed by his ears twitching right after. “Ugh,” he groaned ever so slightly while the duvet around him rustled, trying to find himself in the ruby shades coming from beyond the curtains. Raising his body slightly, Lutiel’s head suddenly stopped in place, recalling the reason he found himself here.

  ‘What is this sound?’ He thought to clear the head. Annoying his ears for a while now, the din had doused deep within him after bellowing intermittently. Scouring through the bed as he sat with the fabric covering him, the man peered through the faint gap along the curtains.

  Seemingly, he had found the source of the noise, yet he couldn’t help but squint at the sight. Watching the already dressed up Zyponia sit on the carpeted floor, his eyes wouldn’t blink as the pebble in front of her floated around.

  Nevertheless, he had witnessed her do the same a couple of times already. Instead, the man focused on the small sphere of what seemed like a glistening glass ball, yet flowed like a liquid whenever it moved.

  As soon as he stared at the sight, the man’s jaw clenched itself while he clutched his head. But, he couldn’t stop looking at her moving the water. Flying through the space, right at the calmly hovering rock, the sphere hit it before scattering around the surface, going back to its normal shape while the pebble crumbled ever so slightly.

  ‘Isn’t that what she was doing the first time I got here? Then, is it water that she wields, not wind?” He wondered, however, the thoughts washed away as soon as his mouth opened. “Argh,” he groaned after his eyes closed.

  The girl, sitting in her light blue dress, immediately glanced up at the commotion, forgetting the rock around her before it dropped down. “Lutiel? Are you okay?” She asked while the man slowly peeled his hand back down.

  “Ah, yes, I’m okay. Good morning,” he uttered, but the girl’s mien hadn’t changed. Walking over to place her hand around his brand, her eyebrows almost met.

  “Did you hit yourself or something?”

  “What? No, I just woke up. Was I speaking through my sleep?” He asked with fuddle, only for the girl’s face to sour in confusion further.

  “You screamed painfully just now,” she said, finally making his eyebrows turn.

  ‘I did? What is she talking about?’ Lutiel thought before parting his lips again. “I have no idea, maybe I had a nightmare.”

  “Must be,” she mumbled briskly. Taking the hand away, her glances traveled down for a moment. Yet, as she looked through the light and duvet trying to unveil his crotch, she swiftly glanced back. “We may be slightly closer now, but you should still dress up. I need to focus for now,” talking with her back turned to the man, Zyponia started to move towards the pebble again, sitting down so she wouldn’t witness his image.

  “Alright,” he muttered sparsely, looking to the side to see his last night’s clothes folded and waiting for him. Standing up from the bed, his figure reached down, promptly sprawling out the attire along his body. Within a few breaths, he no longer flashed his bare looks out to the world.

  The girl focused solely on her exercises, at least at a first glance. “I’ll go now, see you later,” he said before beginning to turn for the doors, only for something to halt him abruptly. An invisible grasp restrained him from moving to the back, so he watched as the girl briskly stood up, almost running to his figure.

  Stopping as she clung her hands around his elbows, his face was swiftly taken over. Sealing the kiss, Zyponia moved away just as quickly, smiling lightly towards him. “You can go now, and don’t act too quickly, okay?” she said with a giggle, spinning the puzzled man forcefully before pushing him towards the already opened doors.

  WIthout any further words, Lutiel glanced around the dull corridor before sparing the sigh crawling within him. Walking to the stairway, his eyebrows fell back while he shook his head instead. Though, just as he grabbed the marble railing, his legs froze when a new gaze fell upon him.

  Stopping in her tracks as well, the red-skinned demon quickly parted her lips after witnessing his image. “Just how long did you two fuck for? It’s already past ten,” she said, her tongue a bit irked.

  “What?” He couldn’t help but stutter out of nowhere. His head churned at her words, yet the girl rinsed his reactions out.

  “Have you forgotten about our lessons?” Folvana asked all of a sudden, to which the man kept silent. However, that only influenced the faint ire. Glancing up with solemn eyes, her stern voice scattered through the steps. “Okay, I will be waiting outside. Get ready and move down.”

  “Yes, teacher,” he said sparingly, watching as she already turned back and moved through with strident steps. ‘I should have told Zyponia, haa,’ sighing internally, he quickly followed his instructor.
