Chapter 10 - Reina And Mio... Spar?
A few weeks earlier, Noel had suggested to my father to train some of the Maids and Butlers in self-defense using a knife or short sword.
With the heated political situation in the Aurora Kingdom, the suggestion was quickly approved and resulted in several Maids working at Marquess Rommel's residence receiving training from one of the Black Maid units.
Tap...
Tap...
On a cool morning like this, I walked towards a trainer who was preparing light wooden sword sparring for everyone.
The trainer I mean is Reina.
Unlike the Black Maid unit, who are busy with their main task of cleaning things that normal Maids can't clean, Reina gets quite a bit of free time before she takes action on her turn.
My relaxed footsteps were heard by Reina, who was giving Maids and Butlers muscle-stretching training.
Tap...
Tap...
Reina glanced at me with a warm smile and bowed respectfully, "Good morning, Lily-sama."
With that warm greeting, several Maids and Butlers who were under her supervision also gave a greetings by bowing their bodies to me.
"Good morning, too, Reina. Is the training you're doing going smoothly?" I asked for small talk before starting my morning activities.
"Everything is going according to the schedule set by Marquess Rommel, Lily-sama," Reina replied, standing tall and elegant.
A perfect maid now stood in front of me, her jet black hair and dark blue eyes made me see the figure of a maid girl who was ready to pounce on anything in front of her.
The uniform that Reina was wearing also looked tight and showed her clean and seductive navel.
"I'm glad to hear that. There's no problem with the basic training being given?" I continued asking like a noble being responsible for someone who works for me.
"There have been no significant problems so far, Lily-sama."
"Continue your good work, Reina."
"Yes, Lily-sama."
My eyes were now focused on the training being given by Reina.
My relationship with Reina was very close, and I had performed the Linked Ritual, which allowed me to use an illusion attack that originated from Reina.
The illusion ability used by Reina came from her great-grandfather, who loved the technique of deceiving and toying with enemies, as one of the people who managed to toyed some of Great Hero in the past.
Even in one of the magic books written directly by the Great Hero, there is a record of Reina's great-grandfather who deliberately stole a treasure owned by one of the great kingdoms by giving a warning first.
The massive theft was carried out because Reina's great-grandfather felt bored after the problems that were haunting the world had been resolved by the Great Hero, so he created new problems to satisfy his boredom.
The account of the incident was written by one of the Great Heroes on one of the pages of his magic book that looked like a footnote.
I didn't think that someone as great as that would have such a beautiful descendant that my gaze couldn't take my eyes off her sexy navel, which wasn't covered by her maid uniform.
"Lily-sama, it seems like you're looking at my navel… very seriously. Is there something that caught your attention about my lovely navel?" Reina asked as she pulled my forehead up to meet her gaze.
"Yeah, I just thought you wouldn't be cold wearing a maid uniform like this," I replied after our eyes met.
A smug smile appeared on Reina's face as if she wanted to do something to me.
"I'm the one who should ask Lily-sama that."
"Eh?" I was a little confused by that answer and tilted my head.
Reina's hand immediately pulled the thin fabric of the nightgown I was wearing.
"A noble girl, who still wearing a nightgown for a morning walk like this. Isn't that much more eye-catching than the maid uniform I'm wearing?" Reina said while paying attention to the nightgown I was wearing.
Because I went out without wearing proper clothes, I realized and blushed after knowing the current situation.
Blush…
I was wearing an nightgown that looked inappropriate and made me look like a naughty noble girl.
Holding back the shame that was starting to fill my face, my body suddenly felt a warm touch from a cloth that covered my upper body.
Reina gave me a thick cloth that looked like a blanket to cover my upper body.
This naughty-looking nightgown was soon covered by a warm blanket.
"Lily-sama, you almost made Butler faint with your beauty. Please be careful in showing off your seductive beauty," Reina whispered in my ear.
"U-Uh, Umm..." I didn't answer Reina's whisper after my eyes fell on the row of Butlers who were slumped on the ground after fainting and several Maids who were holding their noses from bleeding.
"W-What happened?" I muttered in a low voice.
Before I realized what had happened, the situation that had been going normally seemed like a battlefield filled with people lying on the ground.
"Lily-sama, it's like what I said before. You have to be aware of your beauty that can seduce a man or a woman at the same time," whispered Reina as she brought her lips closer to my cheek.
Chupp...
The touch of Reina's lips made me aware of this, and I could feel her lips starting to lick my cheeks until they were wet.
Like a dog licking its owner's cheek, I could feel Reina's tongue stroking my cheek. The warm sunlight and the cool morning atmosphere made me almost lose my main goal when approaching Reina.
"You're too excited in the morning like this, to the point of forgetting your job of training several Maids and Butlers to be able to do self-defense using knives or short swords," I said while feeling Reina's kiss that started to suck my cheek.
My cheeks immediately felt cramped after being sucked by Reina.
Squuiisshh...
Squuiisshh...
Holding back the pain on my cheeks that were being sucked into Reina's kiss, I suddenly felt the scent of cherry blossom petals blooming around me.
The fragrant smell of cherry blossom petals signifies one thing that is certain and will happen.
Praanngg!!
Taanngg!!
Just as I expected, I could see several knives flying towards me quickly and being perfectly parried by Reina.
That perfect parry caused the knife thrown by someone I knew to fly off its target.
"Hey, that's dangerous, you know… What if Lily-sama got hit by your attack just now?" Reina said with a smile to someone who was walking towards her using silent footsteps and scattered cherry blossom petals.
Taaanngg!!
Prraanngg!!
With the movement of her cheeks still maintaining her kiss on my cheek, Reina used her fighting skills to be able to maintain the kiss of her lips that were touching my cheek.
The fight between Reina and someone who was too excited this morning made me take a deep breath.
"You two… can you two not do something dangerous like this?" I said to break up the fight that was going on between Reina and someone who was skilled at using throwing knives from a distance.
Of the many maids who were skilled in using throwing knife attacks, there was one who could do that along with her other ability in using the cherry blossom petal sword technique.
"Miiooo... Reeiinnaa..." I started to emphasize my words to sound heavier and make Reina release her kiss on my cheek.
Swoosh...
Swoosh...
The cold morning wind and the warm sunlight forced me to break up this dangerous fight before any casualties occurred.
Several Maids and Butlers began to feel scared after regaining consciousness from their unconscious lying on the ground.
Mio's silent attack made several Maids look pale, and several Butlers stood still as if they had been hit by a magic spell that froze their bodies.
The brief fight between Mio and Reina had to be stopped immediately because it was too dangerous.
"If you two still want to continue your battle, then do it somewhere else without endangering innocent people," I said, glancing at Mio, who was hiding in the shadows.
Swiisshh...
Sttaabb...
Pooofff...
A knife that flew quickly passed my body and hit Reina's body, who was standing beside me.
Just like what I did after training Evelyn in an illusion technique, Reina's body faded quickly after being hit by Mio's throwing knife attack.
My words to break up their fight seemed to be useless after Mio launched a deadly attack that hit Reina's fake body.
Reina also responded to the attack by performing an illusion technique that made her vulnerable to attacks, and quickly counterattacked.
Taaaanngg!!
Praaaangg!!
The squeaks of throwing knives and small swords echoed around me, making me chuckle at this.
"Reiinna..."
"Miiiiiiooo..."
I also gave a final warning to both of them to stop their fast-paced fight.
"..."
Tiinngg!!
"..."
Prraanng!!
"..."
I stood still for a moment before dropping the blanket covering my upper body.
My body, which was only wearing a thin nightgown, began to feel emotion and irritation after the warning I gave was ignored by the two of them.
Taaanngg!!
Praanngg!!
Sraaanngg!!
Several sparks from Reina and Mio's sharp weapons were immediately seen around me. In the warm sunlight, I felt annoyed after my words and orders were ignored by the two of them.
The mounting irritation made my wrists twirl like I was doing a little warm-up before a fight.
Several Maids and Butlers realized this, they immediately crouched down and hugged their knees to face the unwanted situation from me.
"Ellen... can you answer my call?" I said to Ellen through the communication channel that was directly connected to her.
Sqiiiirrrkk...
Sppllaasshh...
Ellen immediately answered my call by flying quickly and darting towards my hand.
At that speed, I could see a purple-black lightning enveloping Ellen's katana sheath and slowly disappearing.
The ongoing battle between Mio and Reina made me teach a small lesson to the two of them, who were too presumptuous in ignoring the orders I gave earlier.
"I think this is the right time to feel your true power, Ellen," I said, noticing Ellen's katana sheath, which was covered in purple-black electricity.
Bzzzzrrtt...
Bzzttt...
Unlike a cursed sword that can control the weather and has a heavy weight, Ellen looks like a graceful and elegant katana.
Although not like her original form, Ellen's body proportions after becoming a cursed katana were much better than her previous cursed weapon form.
Sriinngg...
Bzzttt...
The moment I pulled the hilt of Ellen's katana, I felt an electric shock that made me feel her raw power.
