章 13: Chapter 12: The Marquess' Surprise

Shivering slightly, I opened my eyes, instantly noticing that I wasn't in my bed. My eyes focusing, I noticed that Jahi was asleep next to me, her arms loosely wrapped around me. My eyes widening slightly, I tried to gently untangle myself from her, but before I could she pulled me closer to her, burying my face into her chest. My breath hitched, trying to think of a way to get out, when Jahi poked my face. Looking up, I saw her eyes half lidded, a slight smile on her face. Yawning, she poked my cheek again, "Mmm... you're so warm Kat~ And you smell so good~"

Stiffening, I laid there, letting Jahi bury her nose into my hair. Jolts ran down my spine as she breathed on and into my ears. Feeling me shiver, she drew me closer and covered us with a blanket. Looking back at her, I was about to say something when we both froze.

Coming from the other room were loud moans, grunts, and we could vaguely hear some words, like "Master~", "Fuck~", and a particularly loud grunt followed by "Take my seed bitch!"

Jahi looked down at me, and even in the low light I could tell she was blushing. I was as well, as it wasn't often you could hear such loud lovemaking in the next room. Jahi stood up, dragging me towards the room my mother and I shared. Pulling me into the bed, she pulled me close. Thankfully, moving into a room away from theirs lowered the sounds, where we could only hear the particularly loud shouts. Jahi covered my ears, burying my head in her chest. I decided to tune everything out, and go back to sleep. Cause this is all a dream. Yeah, a dream.

~~~

The next morning, Jahi and I groggily rose, leaving the room and going towards the bedroom. Quietly opening the door, the smell of sex was almost palpable, and looking at the bed we saw my mother laying naked with her butt raised in the air, panting. A small puddle had formed below her. The Marquess was sitting up, a pipe in her mouth. Seeing us, she waved the pipe, a smile on her lips. I blushed and looked away, as that wasn't the only thing saying hello. Jahi glared at her before dragging me into the bathroom.

When we entered, we saw the Countess lounging in the bath, her breathing labored. Hearing us enter, she opened one eye and smiled, before going back to resting. Jahi forced me down onto the stool, staring directly at me. Feeling her gaze, I looked away. She grabbed my cheeks before turning me, forcing me to look at her. Not saying anything, she continued to look into my eyes. The intensity made me squirm, and before I could ask her what she was doing, she pulled me into a hug. I stiffened, but a moment later I leaned into it. We stayed like that for a few seconds, before Jahi pulled away. Looking into her eyes, I swore that for a second they had specks of gold. While I was wondering about what I saw, she put her forehead on mine, and growled "You belong to ME. Not her."

Letting me go, she grabbed the shampoo, running her hands through my hair, slightly rougher than she had done the previous day. Hearing a chuckle, we both turned towards the Countess, who was smirking. "My~ you are my child, aren't you? So possessive~"

Jahi grumbled, going back to washing my hair. When she was done, she started scrubbing my body, her touch rougher than before. Flinching slightly when she moved the bar over my chest, she repeated the action, doing so multiple times. Eventually she stopped, before crouching in front of me. Her gaze seemed... predatory, with the way she was glaring at me. Flinching again, her gaze softened before she pulled me into a hug.

'So... I guess... she's a yan? If so...'

[Why am I detecting a slight bit of anticipation?]

'...'

While I was enjoying her hug, wondering if she might be the crazy insane kind of Yandere, you know, the one that locks you in a cellar so no one can see you except them, I felt another pair of arms over my shoulder. Considering there was no pillowy sensation on my back, I guessed it was the Countess.

"I wish you luck with her. Your Mother needed it with me, after all~"

Hearing the jovial tone, I knew it was the Countess, and now I knew my future would be... interesting. After all, what's a better combination than a sky high sex drive and possessiveness? Sounds great!

Jahi grumbled again, before pulling away. The Countess chuckled, before gasping in surprise. All of us turned around to see the Marquess burying her face into the crook of the Countess' neck. Considering I could see the slight grinding of hips, I was sure that this would be a repeat of yesterday. Turning back to Jahi, I quickly washed her, before we both scurried out of the bathroom, forgoing a full bath and allowing the two to have their time together. Grabbing a new set of clothes for Jahi, I dressed her.

[Quest Completed.

Reward - 50xp]

[Level 4 - (200/337.5)]

'Huh?'

[The Quest to wash Jahi? And please her? It's repeatable. I can't be bothered to tell you it's happening anymore. In fact, I think I might just start giving the rewards at the end of the day...]

'Lazy.'

Hearing a muffled shriek, Jahi and I turned towards the bed, thinking 'Seriously, what now?'

My mother had gathered all the sheets around her, covering herself. She was as red as a tomato, and was refusing to meet my gaze. Shrugging, I followed Jahi out of the room. I could understand her. In my previous life I had been walked in on a few times, and it was quite embarrassing. The worst was the guy who told me he lived alone, only for his mother to walk in asking for laundry. Fun times.

Moving towards our favorite couch, we resumed our lesson, Jahi making me write and/or read sentences. I of course decided to conveniently forget her Yandere outburst from earlier, not even flinching when she wrapped her arm around my waist! Progress!

For a short while, we sat there, me reading the lines to the best of my ability. Eventually the Marquess ad Countess walked out, looking quite happy.

"I hope we didn't wake you up last night. Well, Julie isn't going to be joining us, due to the fact she can barely stand, so..."

The Countess pinched the Marquess' waist, before turning to us. "The 'surprise' your idiotic mother has for you is your own room, Jahi. That cluster of four rooms down the hall will become your and Kat's room. You decide what you want, like the materials, furniture, and so on. That's what you and this bumbling blueberry are going to be going over today. I'm going to take Kat here to go get her official maid outfit."

Jahi sighed before walking towards the door, glaring at the Marquess.

"The only kid in the world who gets angry when you offer to renovate part of a castle for her. This is all you, Ria, you ungrateful knife-ear."

The Countess ignored her, scooping me up in her arms before walking out the door. Walking past all the servants, eventually she asked "Do you enjoy being with Jahi? Is it fun?"

I nodded my head, "I like Jahi!"

Chuckling, she ruffled my ears with her free hand. "Yea, well she likes you quite a bit. I pity you, though. You'll have to suffer her attention alone when you get older. At least I have Julie to help me make it through the night."

"Will I have a sibling soon?"

The Countess stopped, stiffening slightly. She turned towards me, opening and closing her mouth many times. "I... Well, the Marquess... No, your mother... Argh, I dunno kid, we hope so?"

Seeing me tilt my head, she continued. "It's not a matter of want. I think you saw how much the Marquess 'wanted' to give you a sibling. It's just... your mother... she had a stressful time with you. Oh, don't take that wrong. She loves you more than she loves life itself, it's just a lot happened when you were born. Argh... can't believe I'm talking about this with a kid..."

Shaking herself, she opened the main doors, stepping onto the main path. "Enough about that. Time to go shopping!"
