After 15 minutes of admiring the beauty of my mental void, I finally calmed my agitated heartbeat. Jasmine took advantage and placed my head on her lap while I was gone inside my thoughts. When I returned to my senses I sat like a normal person, but that got me into a situation where her glaring hurt as much as the pinches on my arm.

"Would you stop that?..."

"... Hmph... I should be allowed to do at least this much, you certainly get comfy with that girl, I don´t see why not with me too"

Arms crossed and frowned brows, Jasmine didn´t hesitate to show her jealousy. Which somehow, made me feel a bit happy.

"You know it´s different"

"Even so, I am master´s first woman, I should have some extra benefits for that"

"Phrasing woman! Phrasing!"

Ignoring my words, my maid swapped positions and rested her head on my lap, her hand signaling me to stroke her hair.

"... You are surprisingly childish for a political assassin..."

"... You know it´s different..."

"Touche"

I sighed and did as she wan

    With the first rays of morning, Jasmine was helping me to put on my uniform.After buttoning my shirt, she grabbed the necktie laying on my bed and proceeded to pass the shorter tip behind my head. Her body pressed against mine as if it was just the most natural of eventualities."Aren´t you a bit close?""I can´t make the knot right if I´m not at least this close"Her teasing grin made painfully obvious her lie."Right..."I let it slip since there wasn´t really any damage besides my pride."Hm"Looking at her hands, I realized that she was making an unusually nice knot on my tie. Which made me realize how skillful she was regarding a maid´s expertise in her job. I´m sure she had a job that was somehow similar to her current one. The thing is, should I ask about it?"Aaand... Done! How is it? Too tight?"Watching her handicraft I saw a neatly placed necktie that gave me an air of formality. I was happy with the results."This is actually very nice. Thank you""You´re welcome~"Hmm, d

    As we were riding through the streets, I noticed the looks that people were giving us. Some were curious, others surprised, and some more offended or disgusted.We did our best to not pay much attention to them, but it was kind of hard when their whisperings became louder and more aggressive."Jasmine, hold on tight"Following my command, my maid trapped my hips with her arms. Just then, I told Twilight to go full speed."KREEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAA!"Her shriek filled the hearts of the people with fear and their faces with dirt due to her speed. If they are going to be mean just like that, then I might as well give them a reason~.Feeling her arms getting tighter around me, I noticed that Jasmine was smiling with all her soul."Was that necessary?""Pff. Of course not"HAHAHAHAHAHA!We both left our footprint on the capital´s street with a good laugh.*"So, this is the famous academy of the royal capital. The magic academy of Herxes""I have to admit it. It is quite amazing""Well, it´s t

    What... What is she doing here?..."Umm, how did you call me?""Master? Hey?"How?... Did she... Did she also die?..."I-Is this something he does frequently?""No... No, it isn´t"What the hell am I supposed to do now?... How am I supposed to save Verónica when that person is the heroine?..."Dominique... Dominique! Snap out of it!"Slap!"Woah! Wha- Whe- Huh?""Ah... Finally..."I suddenly returned to reality. My left cheek burned with pain as Jasmine was holding my arms with a worried expression. The person behind her was more confused than anything."H-Hey. Are you okay? You just zoomed out for a minute there"Her voice was the same as I remembered. Even her expression and the way she moves her hands and tilts her head. Except for the colors and the uniform... It was her..."Yhea... Yhea, I´m fine. I just... Got a little surprised... I thought you were someone I knew from a long time ago... But you´re not..."Yes. It doesn´t matter how similar they are. She can´t have died on a si

  • At your service, my lady   Entrance ceremony

    We managed to steal some seats from a group of students arriving late. We got some nasty glances from our surroundings, but nothing I wasn´t able to ignore."I guess we´re gonna need to get used to this, huh""Y-You might be right"I was able to hear some mean whispering from the students in the front rows. They were saying things like: "Demonic filth" "Usseless monsters" and so on...It was very awkward, and I wanted to have a couple of words with them. However, this was not the moment to be a delinquent. "Haaaaah... So fucking stupid..."Just as that thought escaped from my mind, the lights in the building focused on the person suddenly standing on the podium."Welcome, proud students of Xerxes. I have the honor to present to you the people who will be tutoring you on your path to greatness"It was an old woman. Around her late 50´s. She was covered in a snow-white dress with golden ornaments hagging from her hips and shoulders. She seemed extremely healthy despite her age, almost

    For a moment I thought it was the student from the stables, it could have been better since the people standing now in front of us were already pulling out their weapons."I will only say this once. Leave our academy!"They were 5. A blonde guy with a shiny sword of gold seemed to be the leader. His shouts were so loud that a multitude of students surrounded us in no time.Some of them were openly supporting the blonde student. "Leave! You demons!" "Filthy commoners!" "You belong to the streets!"Whatever insult that may come to their minds was being spilled into our faces with the fervor of a million-prize winner.Stepping in front of Jasmine and Isabella I spoke to the student."Didn´t you hear the prince? We are also students from Xerxes, which means we can also ask for his help"My words touched a fiber. It was obvious considering the red now glowing from his face."Nonsense! I don´t know what trickery fooled the prince, but once he sees your true nature I´m going to be given the

    The people sitting around the humongous arena made of red bricks and black iron were shouting at us as if we were the most wanted criminals in this kingdom.And maybe in their eyes, we were."They seem rather expectant huh""No one is rooting for us""There´s Jasmine""She doesn´t count""Hahaha. Harsh""Hmph!"Isabella and I were standing at the east side of the contestant´s entrance. We were putting on the armor and weapons that we would use in the fight.We both chose to put on some light armor to protect our bodies over the thick coat that the school gave us as primal protection. Since we were more on the attacking side, using heavy armor seemed just unnecessary.After adding some protection for the chest, arms, and legs and we were almost set to go."I never thought you´d be using dual guns," I said looking at Isabella as she secured a belt with several magazines.On each side of her legs, there were empty cases where a couple of semi-automatic pistols were being loaded by the gi

  • At your service, my lady   There is a shadow of hope

    In the cabin was a giant torch, once it was ignited; the fight would start.Dominique and Isabella were discretely chatting between them, Opherio noticed this and scuffed at them while thinking to himself: "Useless".The irregulars smiled at each other, since they both were attracted to the human eye, the image was almost artistic. However, they were still irregulars, which turn the piece of art into a foul and obscene picture of monsters grinning at their execution.Opherion couldn´t wait anymore. Once the torch lightens, he will shove away every one to be the first one to cut into tiny bits the man who dared to challenge him despite his noble origins.A failure like them wouldn´t stand a chance against his water magic and swordsmanship. He has been appraised for being a talented user of both skills. A street fight like this was nothing but a method to ease his anger and hatred toward the errors of the world.Opherio looked at the torch. Siegfreid was pointing his palm at the empty o

    The capital was upside down because the rumblings of that cry for freedom still reverberated through the whole city.The figure of that young man who threw a fist at those that chose to ignore the cruel and horrible reality of the kingdom. The questions and thoughts that no one dared to express because of the fear that hanged their necks with the words of "justice" as the executioner.That and much more happened because of that young man who was now in the principal´s office receiving his fair prize."In the name of Xerxes, I make available your victory against the noble Dominus and guarantee your, and your companion´s place as noble students of this institution. Congratulations, Mister Dominique, Mistress Isabella"We exchanged a high five and received a medal for winning the first fight in the academy´s semester.The combat was settled with any of the parties agreeing on betting something apart from expelling, so there was no need for us to stay and negotiate anything with the lose

    "I never expected you'd pick a quest right after being given the permission""We are the hunting club, that's what we do""Couldn't you wait until the rest of the members knew the good news?""Don't get stuck on the little details, let's just enjoy the hunt!""... Right..."The moment I was given my new guild card Jason registered our team for a nest extermination. Right now we were riding our beasts in the middle of the forest. Like before, Isabella was riding Twilight with me while Jason was with his wolf. "So, what are we hunting?""They are called razor monkeys. Their sharp fur hardens at the sight of danger making them living blades. They are not too big, but they hunt in packs and they are pretty resistant to magic and sharp weapons""If they are resistant to our blades and magic are we supposed to shoot them all down? Is that the reason you're carrying those bags?"Isabella pointed at the pair of green leather bags that Jason had hanging on the sides of his wolf. "The fact th

  • At your service, my lady   The guild master

    Isabella and Jason walked at my side while we followed the receptionist to the second floor of the building. After reaching the end of a hallway a pair of gates with the shield of guild stood before us. The sword to defend against the wild, the book and pen to register your discoveries to the world, and the star to guide you in your path through darkness. Even if adventurers were considered failed knights, there was still honor in their roots.The receptionist opened the gates and offered us to step in. When we did, a man in casual clothing was putting his seal on the documents resting on the desks in front of him. He had long black hair that rested on his left shoulder. The precision and swiftness of his hands were clear proof of his mastery of the sword. He was not a hulking mass of muscle, but rather, a refined piece of war that had the exact amount of flesh to do the job. "Dominique Foe Yatra. Also known as 'Black Panther' for the nobles and those willing to bring pain to the irr

  • At your service, my lady   The adventurer's guild

    We were riding through the city on our beasts. Isabella and I were on Twilight while Jason was riding a monstrous wolf. When I asked him why he chose a wolf instead of a drake he told me that even when drakes were commonly stronger beasts, wolves are more practical beasts for hunting since you can train them better. He also said that his grey companion was more loyal than any other human he had met. With this, my image of him being a man obsessed with hunting just got reinforced once more.The trip was quiet for most of the ride, I was having some inner issues with Isabella being attached to my back like some kind of baby monkey; probably a consequence of my recent self-awareness in our relationship. Part of me knew that I should put some more distance between us, but I couldn't get my voice to work when I saw her face.This was the first time she had joined me to ride Twilight, so her shifting expression of fear and excitement kept me on edge from acting.This is painful..."Oi, love

  • At your service, my lady   New members, old members, same issues

    Today is the day when the clubs begin their activities. Isabella and I were summoned by the club's president to attend the first meeting. As expected of a club with a bad reputation, there were barely enough members that allow this gathering to be considered a club.There were a total of 7, including the members of the third year. The president was a man with scars all over his face. His long and messy hair was giving off the air of a wild animal, he also had a penetrating stare, his red eyes were like sharp knives that seemed to dissect you the longer he looked at you. If anything, I'd say he was what a true hunter must look like.We were inside a classroom located on the fire grounds. The walls were covered in maps and weapons, there were also piles of books and documents with information about plants and monsters living in the forest, caves, and sea. The skull of a large bear was decorating the door by which we entered the classroom. The yells from the chivalry club could be heard

    I had my back resting on the couch. Verónica was on top of me, still embracing me with her whole body. We were both mentally exhausted. I could still feel my eyes stinging from all the crying, and looking at my girlfriend, I knew she was feeling something similar.Funnily enough, I was at peace. As if a great storm had ended and now there was nothing but the tranquility of a clear sky. Just as I thinking of that, Verónica moved her head. She was now looking at me in the eyes. I soon felt her fingertips on my face. She was warm and... If it was not my imagination... The whole room was getting hotter... Or was it our bodies...?I couldn't give it much thought because I was being hypnotized by her eyes. There was something behind her gaze that made my heart beat faster. Before I could even wonder what was it I felt her lips touching my neck."Gh... Ah..."Pathetic sounds escaped from my mouth as her hands explored and caressed my skin with erotic gentleness. The sensation of her lips wa

    When I was returning to my seat with the members of the council and my friends I dispersed the crowd that had watched the fight. I also bid farewell to Einar and promised to meet again sometime. On my way back Carin and her cronies were walking alongside me."You did a good job, little brother. Now, after many years, the Yatra household will have a higher title of nobility. This is a great achievement to add to your list. Feel proud about yourself"Carin playfully punched my arm and flashed me a smile. I received her gesture with a smile of my own."If that can help everyone in the Yatra household, then I´m happy I could be of help. You can count on me any time, sister"The face of my sister blushed and quickly turned to the other side."What a cheeky little brother you are..."""Cheeky brother!"" Said both of her cronies while giggling at me."By the way, sister, who are these ladies?"Carin suddenly realized that she had forgotten to introduce her followers. She stopped in her track

    If there was something worth mentioning about my opponent, then that would be his speed. In the blink of an eye, the axe of Einar was mere inches of my face. I turned my body to the side and counter-attacked with a swing of my sword, but he blocked the edge with the long pole he used to swing his weapon.He´s strong... Still in this position, I pointed the barrel of my gun to his chest. He quickly jumped back and avoided the gum bullets of my pacifier."I´m impressed you dodged my thunder strike" He said as his stance prepared for another dash.I replied while preparing my response to his next attack. "I´m proud of my reflexes" "Then let us see how you dodge this..."Instead of dashing forward like before, Einar swept the ground with his axe, creating a cloud of dust that obstructed my vision. This forced me to rely on my other senses, and thankfully for me, Dominique had some high specs in that area. I focused on my hearing and heard a current of electricity running wildly from th

    The lesson ended and we went to submit our club applications. The teacher gave us a weird look when he looked at the papers but said nothing. We returned to our seats and spent the rest of the day without anything worth mentioning.Once it was time for lunch we went to our usual place with the council. People were still giving us some bothersome stares, but we had grown accustomed to them by now.Like always, the people making most of the conversation were Isabella, the twins, and Miss Worer. The rest of us were listening and adding some comments here and there. It looked like the day would be somehow easy."Dominique, I need to talk to you for a minute"Until an unexpected guest arrived."... Yes, big sister"Who had come to our table was none other than my sister. Carin Vea Yatra. She was followed by a couple of women seniors as she made a slight bow to the prince and started to walk away.It was a bit sad that I had to leave Veronica and the rest like this, but family has priority.

    When we arrived at class we greeted our friends and took our seats. It was already time for a lesson but the teacher was nowhere to be seen. At this point, nobody really cared since we all knew the reason for this behavior. "Hiyopi! Donipu~, Isapi~, and Ladapi~. Are you ready for today´s lesson?""G-Good morning. Miss Isabella. Mister Dominique""Good morning!""Morning..."The group that started a conversation with us was none other than the twins and their knight followed close by the accountant. Each of them gave us a greeting, and we responded to them in the same way."Good morning, Miss Anna. Miss Emma. You too, Emile and Dorio""Donipu?""Ladapi?"Isabella returned the greeting with complete naturality, however, both myself and Lada repeated the strange names that the older twin had given us."Those sound cute, don´t they?" Said the girl with a shy smile."P-Please forgive my sister, she didn´t do it out of bad intentions"The younger twin didn´t waste time apologizing on behal
