Waking up, I groaned as I felt my leg muscles and privates aching from last night.
Slowly getting up, I looked around the room to see that Jahi was, yet again, gone.
However, I could hear muffled voices from the main room, so after casting some healing magic on myself to alleviate my aches and throwing on some clothes, I opened the door with a yawn.
As I entered the bright room, I heard someone chuckle.
Looking around, I saw the Countess sitting on the couch, her face serious while the Marquess was trying, and failing, to stifle her laughter.
Sitting across from them was Jahi, looking down at her hands with a light blush.
I made my way to sit besides Jahi, taking hold of her hand and giving her a small smile before turning my gaze back to the narrowed eyes of the Countess.
"So, we heard you had your first time? Lesnera was quite… excited last night."
I just nodded, waiting for the Countess to continue.
Sighing, she pinched the bridge of her nose before asking "You didn't let Jahi finish inside of you, correct?"
I shook my head, and the Countess fell back into the couch with a breath of relief.
"Alright, I know its… odd to have to talk to us about it, but do remember that trying to cover up a pregnancy is quite… difficult. The political ramifications would be an annoyance, but we could deal with them. However, the real problem is that neither of you are ready for that responsibility, especially with the Academy around the corner in a few years. As such, Kat, please start taking this."
I watched as the Countess placed a small pouch on the table, and after unstringing it I saw a pile of grey powder.
Seeing my confusion, the Countess said "It's a medicine to prevent pregnancies. There are no side effects, as I and many others have used it over the last few centuries. Just add a small pinch to a glass of water every morning and you should be fine."
I nodded, listening as she continued.
"It's inexpensive, but we need to place orders for it as it grows in the west, where the climate is warmer and more humid. So, when you think you have only a weeks supply left, let me know."
Retying the pouch, I got up and found an empty glass, filling it with water.
Adding the pinch, I downed the glass of water, pursing my lips at its strong medicinally bitter taste.
However, I could see Jahi's gold eyes glowing as she looked at me, and I felt a clenching down below, heat rising through my body.
"Now you can enjoy sex all you like~!"
Hearing the Marquess, we watched as the Countess pinched her waist, glaring at her.
However, the Countess nodded at me, saying "We are not against you eventually having children with Jahi, but just remember that if your child is born before one from her official wife, they will not have an easy future. So, plan accordingly, and let us know in advance. I don't think my heart could take hearing you announce your pregnant just out of the blue…"
The Countess gave me a small smile, and I nodded at her.
Getting up, she dragged the Marquess out of the room, smiling at her when she said "Don't worry about us~ Just know the servants all heard your screams last night~"
I blushed at that, and Jahi glared at her mother.
Leaving, I looked over at Jahi, shivering as she stared at me with lust.
Getting up, i watched as she stalked over to me, her lips pulled in a smirk as she grabbed my hand.
"Well, I think I want my maid to show her devotion again…"
Hearing her growl, I shivered as she led me back to our bed, where we had a new, more intense 'spar'.
~~~
The days passed in a blur, most of my time spent in Jahi's embrace as she unleashed her pent up desires.
Our intimacy was still in its infancy, as Jahi wanted to just taste my body before delving into using the ropes and whip she had.
Of course, this was all amusing to the Marquess, and annoying to the Countess. pan(da-n0vel.c)om
Most of our classes were spent with me exhausted and Jahi trying her best to refrain from pulling me away to sate her lust.
Every time we had alone time, or were just somewhere that was devoid of people, Jahi pulled me aside and had her way with me.
I wasn't complaining, as my own desires were slowly being doused and I was receiving a large amount of experience for it as well.
However, we both knew that, as soon as Anput and Leone arrived, we would need to curb our arousal and only do anything intimate at night.
So, here we sat, Jahi laying on top of me as we finished up our final round, panting as we inhaled each others scents.
Rolling off of me, Jahi smirked before lifting me up, taking me to the bath.
We quickly rinsed off, Jahi healing both of us before we dried off.
Dressing both of us, me in my maid dress and Jahi in her workout clothes, we made our way towards the main door, where we waited for Anput and Leone.
It didn't take long for them to arrive, and I watched in muted awe as they walked through the door.
Anput was my height, and still wore thin strips of cloth that covered very little of her lithe figure.
Her long raven hair was pulled into a ponytail, and she still wore a smirk on her lips, which only widened when she saw Jahi and I.
In the center of her forehead was a silver circular rune, and I could feel the power radiating off of it as she approached. Other than that, she now had two amethysts dangling on a silver chain from her left ear, reminiscent of Jahi's natural eyes.
As for Leone, I was completely stunned.
She still had a slight shy expression, but she was drop dead gorgeous.
Her ashen hair was held in place by a thin gold tiara, adorned with small rubies that matched her red tinted, previously orange, eyes. Her thin eyebrows were red, and they contrasted against her pale skin.
However, those weren't even the most drastic change.
Gone was the thin girl that looked like she could be blown away by the wind. Standing in front of us was a tall, curvy woman who, if she wore anything daring, would draw every gaze in the room.
I could see Jahi looking Leone up and down, making the girl shuffle about as her face blushed heavily.
Pinching her waist, I smiled as I watched both Anput and Leone approach, Anput wrapping Jahi in a bear hug and Leone pursing her lips as she looked at me, her new lava like eyes flaring before pulling me into her embrace.
I marveled at her breasts that pressed against mine, and when we pulled away I looked down at her chest, before looking at my own.
Feeling two burning gazes, Leone and I turned to see Anput and Jahi licking their lips as their eyes flickered between both of us.
Smiling at them, I took Leone's hands and said "I have somethings I want to discuss with Leone, so go spar. Ah, Anput… Jahi got much, much better~"
Anput whipped her head towards Jahi, her lust dissipating as it was replaced with anticipation.
Chuckling, I watched as Anput led Jahi out of the main hall, leaving Leone and I alone.
"So, I wanted to discuss magic theory with you. See, I found this book…"
I spoke with Leone as we walked, bouncing ideas off one another as we entered the library.
—
So, again I accept the contract tonight. This chapter will be paywalled then, so this is the last free chapter in this book.
As for this chapter, it was just some more delving into Jahi and Kat, as well as showing Anput and Leone (let me know what you thought of their portraits!)
I hope you enjoyed!
So, I just want to say that the contract won't be happening for a few days; I need to physically print and sign it before scanning and uploading it as a PDF, and of course, now that I need my printer the damn thing is broken. Which means, the contract will be put on hold for a few days, however I think I will still lock everything from Chapter 66 till whenever, so think of these chapters as a sneak peek or whatever.
Besides that, I will probably go back to single day uploads for this, since I feel like I've been neglecting my other books. Still might drop two or more chapters a day, but that all depends on the way I feel and all that…
Anyways, we also it 300 Powerstones this week, which is really cool! Thank you!

Leone and I sat in the library, showing each other the different spells we had created during our time apart.
Finishing up the rune, I slid the paper over to her, and watched as she nodded, her eyes alight with joy as she said "Wow, that's pretty good! You managed to implement so many different spells into one!"
I grinned, happy at her compliments.
The rune I showed her was one of the more complex ones I had, as it was the complete version of my Water Cloak. It had healing spells, defense spells, and I had even managed to slip in a control spell that let me alter the water of the cloak, letting me change the spell from a defensive one to an offensive one.
Of course, such a spell was taxing and difficult to maintain, as the control required paired with the amount of mana needed was quite large, but it was a goal of mine, a way to see that I had truly improved.
After looking over the paper I slid her, Leone set about scribbling down her own, and I sat beside her quietly, admiring her beauty as she worked.
The way her soft lips pursed as she narrowed her lava like eyes in concentration made her already beautiful face extraordinary, and I found myself staring into her eyes as she turned.
Blushing, she looked away before sliding the paper in front of me, muttering "H-Here…"
My heart beat quicker as I gulped.
The way she looked at me from the side of her eyes as she blushed was cute, and I had to tear my gaze away from her.
Looking down at the rune, I traced over each individual piece, slowly connecting each part together in my mind before widening my eyes.
"Leone… is this the spell for Vulan's Breath!?"
Turning, I saw Leone nod her head, still blushing.
Grabbing her hand, I spoke excitedly.
"Did you make this yourself? The amount of intricacies needed to make such a spell work is exorbitant!"
In my excitement I didn't realize that Leone had grown a deep shade of crimson, her eyes glued to our hands.
With an 'Ah' I dropped her hand, bowing my head as I apologized.
"I-It's ok! Really…"
She muttered something at the end, and I tilted my head.
"What was that? I couldn't hear you, sorry."
Leone shook her head, before smiling.
"Th-This is my version of Vulcan's Breath! See this section here…"
We turned back to the rune, Leone tracing certain parts that she simplified or amplified to improve on the spell.
Nodding, I would ask questions about her choice, inquiring about whether a certain section could be changed or not, and what some parts were needed for.
I have no clue how long we spent discussing the rune, but I eventually felt a pair of arms wrap around me from behind, and after seeing the familiar light blue skin I smiled as I leaned back.
"Hmm, what are you two discussing with such animation?"
Chuckling, I looked up to see Jahi smiling down at me, before pursing my lips when I saw her raven hair was plated, her skin clammy with sweat.
Taking a quick breath, I felt my head numbing as her scent washed over me, and I muttered "Spells… Ah, Le-Leone managed to create her own version of Vulcan's Breath…"
Giving me a knowing smirk, Jahi turned to look at the blushing Leone, asking "May I take a look?"
Nodding, Leone picked up the paper and handed it to Jahi, her hands trembling slightly.
I watched in mild amusement as Leone flinched when Jahi trailed her finger over the back of Leone's hand, grinning as she teased the shy girl.
Looking over the paper, Jahi leaned on my chair, nodding to herself.
Turning, I saw Anput panting, her skin glistening with sweat and a few large bruises making her olive skin darker.
Getting up, I walked over to her and cast a healing spell, nodding at her.
Leaning close to me, Anput sniffed the air before smirking at me.
"So you and Jahi mated already, hmm?"
Smirking at me, Anput chuckled when I blushed slightly, glaring at her.
Finishing my healing, I was about to return to the seat when Anput grabbed my hand, pulling me into her.
Feeling her breath on my ear, I shivered when she said "I truly can't wait till I can have a taste as well~"
As she whispered that in my ear, I widened my eyes in surprise when I felt something poking my butt, and when I turned to look at Anput she just winked, before saying "I'm going to take a bath. Jahi, you tell them about what we discussed, please~" pan(da-n0vel.c)om
Nodding, Jahi kept reviewing the paper, her eyes glued to it.
Giving me another wink, I watched as Anput stretched as she walked, the muscles on her back rippling in a pleasing way.
Taking a shuddering breath, I returned to my seat, Leone fidgeting slightly as she looked at me, before turning her body away from me.
My eyes widening again, I quickly realized that, when Jahi takes one, or both of them, I would likely be in for some… wild nights.
However, after seeing them again now, and from all our previous encounters, I could say that I don't mind Jahi taking them, even if it irks me that she won't be looking my way the entire time.
Of course, I also realized that I would gain the gazes of two other beautiful women, and that I should be thankful they were so… accepting of me. It could have always been worse; they could have been utter snobs of nobles, looking down on me for my status and trying everything in their power to get me away from Jahi.
Thinking so, I looked up at the tall demon, my eyes trailing over her figure as I wondered if we would continue where we left off earlier today.
Feeling my gaze, Jahi smirked down at me as she ruffled my ears, before returning her amethyst gaze to the paper.
A few moments later Jahi spoke, looking over at Leone with a smile.
"This is pretty amazing Leone. I mean, you took an already complex spell and improved it by a lot. This part here is incredible; how did you manage to add a rune that changes the smoke from just smoke to filling it with fire mana, creating a cloud of searing smoke?"
Leone pursed her lips, before scribbling another spell down on a paper. Sliding it towards us, Jahi and I widened our eyes when we saw what she wrote.
It was a normal fireball spell, but when I looked closer I realized that the rune for fire had been altered; it had a half of the wind rune layered on top of it.
"Well, I… I managed to create a whole new element for magic, I suppose…"
Blinking our eyes, Jahi and I looked at each other before looking at Leone, who fidgeted again.
"Is this a spell for… what, ash? Or smoke?"
Nodding, Leone said "It… could be either, depending on the weight of the runes… more fire would create ash, more wind smoke."
This…
"How in the world did you even think of trying to create a new element? Did you tell the Empress?!"
Hearing my question, Leone nodded before saying "She said the same thing… apparently, no one ever thought to try and create something new with the old elements…"
I nodded, as it was something even I hadn't truly explored yet. I was too focused on mastering my elements to theorize 'weighing' the runes to create something new.
If I mixed wind and water normally, I would get ice; that's how its been for the entire time magics been in this world.
However, thinking it over, I realized that if I added some of either element to the opposite, I could get various forms of that combination.
Mainly snow; that was what came to mind first. However, I could get hail or just cold water in general, which did broaden the possibilities of spell creation.
Shaking her head, Jahi just chuckled before saying "Well, guess I should send the marriage proposal now huh? Before the Empress changes her mind with you being a genius and all."
We looked at the flustered Leone, who was completely red as she opened her mouth a few times, her hands fidgeting as before she looked down at the floor.
"I… I would be fine with it…"
Jahi and I looked at each other, chuckling at how she just… accepted it.
"Well, I was joking, but… I guess I could huh? Anyways, before you just accept something that major, Anput and I had an idea for this trip. Why don't we go to Fovos Forest?"
Leone and I looked at Jahi, Leone blushing as she nodded slightly, and me with a dry look.
Of course I wanted to go… after all, it has been a bit since I got to whet my appetite, but…
"You and Anput just want to go so you can fight things, don't you? There is no bonding activity or something else planned, you just want to fight monsters."
Jahi grinned, nodding.
"Yup. We wanted to go have fun in the middle of a monster infested forest. I mean, what else would we do? Stay here and have tea? Sounds boring."
I just sighed, before looking over at Leone.
"Well, I am… obligated to follow this meathead, but are you comfortable with that, Leone? Would the Empress let you?"
Hearing that, Leone nodded, her face going neutral as she said "Mother already let me go into the forest at the Academy, so I should be fine."
Clapping her hands, Jahi grinned before lifting me into her arms, making me yelp.
"Well, Kat and I need to go finish something, so we shall join you for dinner in an hour or so… Now, if you'll excuse us…"
I could feel Jahi's hands squeeze me, before she left the room with a hurry.
Looking up at her, she growled "Your Mistress needs some relief; Anput ticked me off a little."
Even though she said that, I could see the warmth in her eyes, and I just leaned into her, nodding.
She grinned, and that warmth was quickly replaced by a sadistic light.
Shivering, I gulped as she smirked down at me, her pace quickening.
