The Erotic Mind-Control Story Archive

Lillian finally fell to her knees.

“You doing okay?” I asked her.

“Yeah, just never felt anything like that before,” she said.

“Sorry about that,” I said.

“It is okay, for Master, it is no bother. I’m not entirely sure what is going on but it seems that our little sister has seen the value we have here,” she said. “Thank you.”

“Yeah,” Natalia said clutching her side. “You were right to ask for backup. I can’t believe your initial plan didn’t work.”

I rubbed my head. “Yeah, five feet isn’t a good starting distance for me when facing someone related to the murder maiden.”

“Murder maiden?” Natalia asked as she rubbed her chin. “That name seems familiar.”

Gah! I feel old! I guess I am old! But come on! She is the most famous warrior in this country’s history! Though, I guess. “Wait, how old are you, Natalia?”

“Just twenty-two,” Natalia said.

“Nineteen,” Lillian said.

Huh. So young. Natalia was only one year older than my current body. “I guess that makes sense. The murder maiden retired before you were born. I guess you don’t know much of history, but she was the king’s left hand. About fifty years ago now. There was a revolt and this country threatened to tear itself apart. The murder maiden, the magician and the kind king were who saved this country.”

“I heard the term the kind king, that is the current king, Matthias,” Natalia said. “But the magician?”

“The Magician was the strongest wizard in this country’s history!” Lillian said. “My family and clan told stories of that amazing spell caster! So your saying the murder maiden girl is on the level of the Magician?”

I turned beat red. Gah! Lillian! How can you know about my old life but not the murder maiden! This is too embarrassing! “Yes,” I said while looking down.

“And our little sister is related to such a rich history! Wait, she knew you though? You are connected to this rich history?” Lillian asked.

I guess I should just it it. “I’m the Magician’s Shadow,” I said.

Both of their jaws just dropped. Technically it was a lie, but it was the lie I have held to for six years now. Ever since I debuted my new form to the wider world. I supposed I didn’t need to explain a shadow to them given their reaction. It was just a term for the successor, or someone good enough to be worthy of the chance to be a successor. Since I actually was the magician, it seemed fitting.

“That is,” Natalia flinched.

“Oh right, we should heal up, if you don’t mind?” I asked.

“A living legend! I must write my parents about this! Oh right of course!” Lillian said. “Drascilla, hear me and let me heal my sisters.” She reached over and kissed me on the cheek where our little sister punched me. The light was warm and felt nice. It actually made me shiver a bit.

“You could have healed Natalia first,” I said. Her injuries were more extreme. I could see various bruises all over her body.

“No, no,” Natalia said looking at me. “The shadow of the king’s former right hand clearly should take priority.”

I waved for her to come over to me as I shook my head. “Right now, there are a few more important to me than shadow.”

“Oh?” Lillian asked as she began placing healing light on Natalia.

“Little seer, or Master or sister,” I said. “This place means so much to me that I can’t express it in words right now.”

With our injuries healed, we returned the main area of the castle. Celeste was busy with our little sister and Lillian appeared to want to pen a letter to her parents right away. So the Lady of the Night decided to accompany Natalia and I to the bath.

“Is it okay for us to be bathing with the Lady?” I asked. Celeste said that we needed to be at a certain level before she would personally permit this kind of thing.

“That is only a concern for the post sexual moment with Master,” Natalia said. “If the lady seeks or refuses a specific partner for the bath, then that should be honored for our daily bath.”

“You first sister Rosemary,” the Lady said.

I stripped out of my uniform to obey quickly enough as I set on the bed inside the bath. Natalia began working my upper body. Her hands were soft but they had a certain firmness to them. The way she rubbed my shoulders was quite nice. I let out a breath. Today felt like it wizzed by in a blur but the more I thought about it, a lot happened. I decided to just bask in the moment.

“Close your eyes,” the Lady said as she caressed my leg.

I did so immediately and suddenly I felt her hand reaching up into me. I gasped in response. She was so smooth. I almost didn’t notice her hand touching me like that. My body almost seemed to move for her before I realized she was rubbing me. My breath caught in my throat as pleasure surged from inside me.

“You’re good at that my Lady,” I said.

Her finger flicked my clit and I nearly came on the spot. “I have had a lot of practice. I have always sort of danced with both angels and devils.”

I chuckled at the terminology. It basically just meant that she was sexually attracted to both men and women. I on the other hand never considered the possibility of dancing with both. In it’s own way, I still felt that way. Like, even as she fingered me and brought me closer to orgasm, I didn’t consider myself sexual attracted to women.

This feeling was nice and I enjoyed making my sisters smile in any way I could, but this just didn’t match the feeling of Master dick inside me.

I felt her wet tongue enter me and I just lost control as I squeezed my thighs together and came. “Ahhh,” I moaned. I went limp as they finished cleaning me.

The Lady laid down next. I grabbed her hands. I could see how firm her fingertips were. No doubt the effort she had recently spent on finding vanes from Edo.

“Can I do something for you my Lady?” I asked. “I have almost pure divinity, something I needed your Edo to make. You deserve some of it.”

Natalia began scrubbing her hair as she paused and thought.

“Honestly, I don’t want anything for myself,” the Lady said. “But,” she paused and touched her belly. “I would love for my future child to be blessed.”

“I think I can manage that,” I said with a smile. “Just give me a moment.”

Actually a thing like that would be best done once she conceived, but with pure divinity and some help from a goddess, I think I could manage it right now. I went over and placed some soap on the counter and took the bottle with divinity and placed one drop on it.

“Drewchel, may you hear my words and grant my wish to suspend this blessing and allow it to to the next born. Give them the power to strive towards their goals, to deflect malice, to heal their pain, and to endure the trials and tribulations of this world!”

The dot of soap began glowing and I pressed it against my finger. I walked over to the Lady and spread her legs to place the divinity inside her.

“Ah!” she moaned as I touched her.

I chuckled. I didn’t even touch her clit or anything, just trying to slide this divinity deep inside her. I trusted Drewchel that it would find its way.

“Oh god! What is this feeling! I feel warm!” she shouted.

I held her hands and rubbed the leftover residue against her fingertips. It seemed to help them become smoother. “It is divinity, the glow of it is intense isn’t it?”

“Oh god! It’s like Master is inside me all over again! Oh fuck!” she moaned as she bucked her hips.

Okay now I was curious. I flowed mana into my eyes. “Split sight,” I said. This was a spell the sisters taught me after I handled the information of hundred timelines at once for a minute. It basically let me see when the three sisters were playing tricks.

Oh damn. I blushed. Yeah, Master was inside her alright. I smirked. Drewchel did enjoy her twisting things a bit when she granted blessings. Agala was a much safer one for getting what you wanted. I guess, though she probably didn’t mind. I assume this was the future when Master impregnated her.

“Ah! It feels so good!” The Lady shouted.

I grabbed her hand. “Right now, hips up.”

She listened to me and thrust just as the alternate time-line Master’s dick pushed deeper inside her.

“Oh fuck! Master! Please! Give me a baby!” She screamed as she squeezed her hand.

Oh… oh my. Drewchel, you… dirty goddesses. She is pregnant already isn’t she? I could see the pulse of life in her belly. Damn.

“What am I witnessing?” Natalia asked.

“I… not sure either, but hey, she seems happy right?” I said, looking at her pussy I saw cum leaking out. Well…. Wish granted I guess. “Back to cleaning?”

Natalia nodded and we got back to work.

She carried her to bed once we were done but she came back. I wanted to help Natalia. So now it was just me and her. Scrubbing her hair took no time at all, since she had short hair. Scrubbing her muscles reminded me of the murder maiden. If anything, Natalia’s tone was even better.

“You’re quite beautiful,” I said.

She blushed a bit. “You don’t need to lie, I know I am not very feminine.”

“You don’t need to be classically feminine to be beautiful,” I said. “Your body is near perfection. If you learned to use mana, you could probably lift a horse. Your pure physical ability would exceed most everyone in the kingdom.”

“You think so?” she asked.

I nodded. “Not just me, the goddess of beauty did say everyone here is beautiful and sexy. That includes you.”

She smiled as I began soaping up her breasts and she tensed up a bit. Her breasts were basically the only soft spot on her body and it felt nice and I think she probably felt the most feminine from her breasts. She had good posture but I had noticed that her top seemed to shape around her breasts with a little more care than the rest of us.

“I’m so happy you came here,” Natalia said.

I smiled. “Me too. My time here is becoming a dream I never want to end. I’m happy we can defend it together. With our new sister, we have a good chance to stop anything.”

“I will do my best to keep you safe Rosemary,” she said.

“We have more of the breast enhancement cream, would you want some?” I asked.

“Huh? I mean but… not sure that’s practical—”

“I didn’t ask if it is practical,” I said. I felt a certain sense, she wanted it, but was embarrassed. I get it. I spent decades living like that. I didn’t want her to waste nearly that much time. Plus, my inner sense was telling me it was going to be her night with Master soon. And I think she’d love her breasts being bigger, even if only slightly.

“I suppose, just a little bigger, as long as it’s nothing ridiculous,” she said as she looked away.

“Not a worry,” I said as I began to rub her legs. I slid my finger inside her, she smiled and let out a calming sigh. I guess I didn’t have the magic fingers that the Lady had. But I was happy just to be helping her feel good.

“Is there anything you can’t do?” she asked me.

“Yeah, tons actually, but there is also lots I can do, and right now, I want to do it all for my wonderful sisters,” I said. “Ready to get out? We should get your breast cream.”

“Tonight?” she asked.

“Call it a divination s intuition,” I said.

“I see a tighter bra!” Elise said looking at Natalia, whom blushed in response.

“They are only slightly bigger, unlike you that like tripled your size,” I said poking her in the boob.

“Hehe, they are great aren’t they?” Elise said. “Good on you Natalia. Can I?”

Natalia nodded and then Elise gently groped her.

Looking around Marianne seem to blush a bit. Interesting. I didn’t see our little sister or Celeste. I guess it made sense. Her first night after all.

Oh, speak of the head maid. She came over but no little sister in toe.

“Rosemary, can you come assist me?” she asked.

“Of course, head maid!” I said with a curtsy.

She didn’t explain what was wrong but it was easy enough for me to guess. Sister, but the fact Natalia wasn’t with her was enough to make me feel secure. I held my hand close to my wands just in case.

Inside the room sister was sitting on the edge of a bed, in her uniform. “I want you to make sure the situation is as it should be,” Celeste said.

“Sister?” I asked. “You doing okay?”

“What do you think! I’m a slave now,” she said rolling her eyes.

I smiled. “You don’t seem to be resisting that at least. Are you happy?”

“Yeah, I am just a bundle of joy!” she said with snark. “Always wanted to be dressed as a slut.”

I flowed magic into my hand. “Identify ailment.” The word charmed appeared over her head. It was in full effect. Her naturally resistances and personality were strong but they couldn’t break the charm.

“She’s fine. This is just who she is,” I said.

“But it wouldn’t do for her to be talking about being a slave and charmed and such things at dinner,” Celeste said.

“Sister,” I said. “Address me properly!”

She stood up and did her salute. “Yes sister. Fuck me. Are you enjoying this bullshit?”

“I need you to not use the word slave charmed and avoid negative attitudes. Just if you can’t express yourself positively, then say your nervous still. Okay?”

“Okay, I get it. I’m…. I’ll be a good girl. Okay?” she said.

We started walking to dinner. It would be good enough. I could get more supplies to brew some more resistance down potions. It would help her get used to everything faster but it wasn’t strictly needed. We can ask Master later for his approval.

“This is gonna be a bit much, but we are here for you, okay sister?” I said, trying to warn her.

“Thanks… sister,” she said.

When we approached the group they all let out squeals of delight as they all came to crowd the new girl. Elise groping as everyone else said compliments or asked questions. It was literally worse than what I got. I guess being a prisoner for two months begged it’s own sense of curiosity.

Two sharp claps rung out. “Sisters, be nice. She is shy. Isn’t that right sister?” Celeste asked.

“Yeah, please, give me some air… sisters,” she said.

The doors opened and Master had us enter. I helped sister find a place to sit and sat next to her. Though the Master looked at us. “Rosemary, is it safe for me to return this to her?” he said holding up a sword. Oh that was… Valeria’s sword. That’s a strong sword. It’s ornate red handle, as if dipped in blood. The Murder Maiden’s gladius sword.

“Yeah,” I said mildly distracted. I didn’t know sister was that sword’s new owner. “I’d feel much safer knowing that blade is in her hands.”

He tossed it and sister caught it. “Thank you Master,” she said.

“Sofia, make her a belt for it tomorrow but don’t sit yet my little warrior,” he said.

“Hmm?” she asked.

He grabbed an apple from the table. “A legendary warrior? I wanna see what you can do. Show me?”

“As you wish Master,” she said as she stepped a few paces away from the table. “Ready when you are.”

He tossed the apple towards her, she tossed the scabbard away and slashed upward. “Six-Fold Slash Flash!”

For all my abilities to see things. I could never see this. In a motion so fast it seemed to defy the natural of reality the apple just gently moved up into the air. I grabbed a plate and tossed it towards sister. She dropped the scabbard to catch the plate and moved it to catch the apple slices. Twelve in total.

“Wow that was so cool!” Elise said as she took an apple slice. Master said he wanted us to share them this time.

I took one as well. I wasn’t surprised. Sister wasn’t technically a legendary warrior. Too young and too inexperienced but her physical strength and that sword were no joke and her skills weren’t bad by any metric.

“So my little warrior, talk about yourself. What are your intentions now that you have seen the love we share and ed our family?” Master asked.

She paused as she wiped her sword clean. “I… am nervous but I will keep my word. I vow to you Master that I shall use my strength for you. I would hope you may reconsider about the level of fabric I am allowed to have if possible.”

“Are you embarrassed?” he asked.

“Naturally,” she said. “But even if you want to ignore that, it isn’t very practical.”

We all giggled. I mean, yeah, I understood. I had been there. But knowing that Master could see my breasts whenever he wanted and that this outfit was hand made for me pushed all those thoughts away.

“We will be leaving for our monthly trip. So, perhaps you are in luck. Sofia, prepare Lady of the Light outfits for both your new sister and Rosemary, for tomorrow.”

“As you wish my Master,” Sofia said.

“Rosemary, you can use some divinity to make her thread divine, yes?” he asked.

I nodded.

“Do that then,” he added.

“Master, may I have permission to make you some armor as well?” Sofia asked.

He shook his head. “For now, focus on Rosemary, then your new sister. Than Natalia. Then cloaks for everyone else. I suppose I’ll take one of those. Okay?”

“Of course, Master,” Sofia said.

Three outfits and cloaks? With the presumption of more? That’s a tall order for a drop of divinity. Hmm. “Master, to effectively use divinity for this, can we wait until after our trip? I don’t think I can make a proper offering to Drascilla with just what we currently half. It would be far more effective to gain her help with this.”

“No, I have made a deal with Drascilla already. She said she’d grant a favor or two for me. So just make sure we repay her in kind after our trip. I want at the very least you and our little warrior in armor by the day of our trip.”

“Yes Master,” I said.

He looked at Celeste who clapped her hands. “This concludes our predinner meeting. Let us thank Marianne now.”

Things went as usual at that point. With Me and Natalia being served by Master today. I managed to beat her as well, marking the first day I managed to serve Master his dinner. I was quite happy about how today went. One of many more to come.

Once dinner concluded we all lined up. Sister may have been new but she understood to follow suit. She stood next to me as I cupped my breasts.

“Wait, what?” she whispered to me.

“We offer ourselves to the Master,” I said. “It’s not mandatory, so you can refuse if you want. It just means you would be refusing him.”

From what I heard I wasn’t the first not to present my breasts on the first night. So this was hardly something she’d be shunned for. She seemed to contemplate it a bit before she crossed her arms covering her breasts.

I knew she wouldn’t be picked but in either case. But I couldn’t help but giggle at her fleeting sense of resistance. I was pretty sure I wasn’t going to be picked again so soon, but that didn’t matter. Making sure Master understood we could be chosen was what really mattered.

Natalia moaned, as the Master picked her up. She whispered into his ear.

“Elise, you shall accompany us tonight,” he said.

“Happily Master!” she said as she walked with them.

After the dinner clean up we all sat down on the community bed. Sister seemed a bit nervous about sleeping together. I hugged her. “It’s actually nice how warm it is.”

“So instead of proper clothes we have to share body heat?” she asked.

Sofia giggled. “Anything Master designs would be idea as far as I am concerned.”

“So what is this lady of the light thing?” sister asked.

“I actually don’t know,” I said looking around.

Celeste sat down. “It is the highest honor. Even larger than the Lady of the Night,” she said.

Sofia raised her finger. “While the Lady of the Night reaches everyone eventually, we have only had three Lady of the Lights.”

“I made it four times myself last year,” Marianne said puffing out her chest. “The Lady of the Light is chosen only once a month for our monthly trip to town.”

“Oh? So what is it like?” I asked.

“It is the absolute best!” Marianne said.

I smiled, nice but not exactly informative. I looked at Celeste, she seemed to understand what I wanted to know.

“All the girls must come with us to town. We leave no one behind but we separate into two groups. The Lady of the Night accompanies the Sisters and acts as the highest authority for the trip. While the Lady of the Light personally accompanies Master for the entire trip. Sometimes the trap can least several days. So it is a very coveted position.”

“Interesting, and over the years you have only had three Ladies of the Light?” I asked.

She nodded.

“I’m the third,” Sofia said. “But only once. Last year. Was really amazing!”

So wait, if last year Marianne had it four times, and Sofia once. That meant the last girl had it seven times. Had to be Celeste. “You?” I asked.

She nodded.

Our little sister placed her head in her hands. “So we are doing this soon? What should I expect to be doing?”

Celeste placed her hand on her cheek. “Normally, a girl so young into our sisterhood wouldn’t even be given a Lady of the Light outfit. She would just be given a cloak and left to wait at the hotel. But I suspect he has some plan for you. Likely do to your skill as a fighter.”

Interesting. “Wait can you handle making two outfits so fast?” I asked Sofia.

“It will be challenging, but if I don’t do anything else, I should manage,” she said with a bright smile.

I really wish Master would reconsider and get himself something divinely enchanted. My original clothes were enchanted. Same with sister. We could handle ourselves but I also kind of smiled at the thought of him giving us something unique and beautiful like this. It was a tricky issue overall.

“Can I expect our Lady of the Light outfits to not be red district type outfits?” Sister asked.

Sofia looked away.

“Ah! Now I am nervous,” she added.

She made a point, if the point of our outfits were to hide in plain sight, then looking like hookers wouldn’t be ideal. Of course I knew any complaints I had would choke in my throat once Master asked me to wear them. I was just nervous. Until I got the Jaka flowers.

I yawned. I woke up and noticed the Lady was with sister. “You two are up early?”

“Our little sister said she could help me learn to fight. Wanna come too?” The Lady asked.

“Sure,” I said yawning. “We should probably wake up Marianne, she will be sad if she knows we are awake and doing stuff without her making breakfast.”

“Nah, she always wakes up early,” the lady said. “Let her sleep. I’ll take responsibility.”

“Yes my Lady,” I said.

We walked silently to the front area where Natalia liked to do her workout.

“So, is this how it always goes? We just listen to the one he fucks the night before?” Sister asked.

I nodded. “For the most part yeah.”

“We all take turns in the role,” the Lady said. “It will be your turn eventually. The first time it is your turn, every girl will work their hardest to prove their worth to you. So it is something to take as an honor.”

“Look, I ain’t a virgin or anything. But I’m not sure I can relate to the idea of his dick being that special,” Sister said.

We chuckled.

“You say that now,” I said.

“But it is a really good dick,” the Lady said. “Though, would you die for Master?”

“Of course,” she said before flinching her face a bit. “That’s not fair.”

I poked her boob a bit. I wasn’t really trying to tease her, but I had a feeling an Elise Lady of the Night moment was gonna be intense. So I was trying to help her get used to it.

“Sister, please stop,” she said.

“Okay. Let’s do aura practice,” I said.

“You too sister?” she asked. “Can’t you already do mana manipulation?”

I nodded. I was really a damn fine wizard but mana manipulation was like placing it at the edge of yourself to raise your perception or awareness. Aura was more about infusing it with your muscles. I had never actually done it before. But as a ninety-six year old woman, even if this body was only twenty-one. I really felt no need to continue to push my mana manipulation. It took a few years to adjust to this body’s flow. And one punch nearly knocked me unconscious. There was clear value in gaining some warrior skills.

“Okay, if you want I guess, sister,” she said as she began stretching.

Me and the Lady of the night followed suit.

“Mother used to tell me that it was about how well you can picture yourself like a sponge. Soaking and absorbing what’s around you.”

I could feel the flux in the air as her aura tensed. Natalia seemed to be struggling a bit. Natural for a first timer. Hmm. Visualization was a wizard’s strength, so that part was easy. Though a moment later I felt dizzy and fell backwards.

“Sister! Don’t overdo it!” she said.

“Huh? I barely did anything,” I said.

“You’re a wizard sister, your body isn’t used to sucking in aura. Too much and you can rip your own muscles apart,” she said.

I gave a pout. “So, no short cuts for my wizard knowledge?”

She shook her head. “I thought you’d know that!”

I kind of did. Like I knew that was a concern but I had never tried before. Plus my by the time I was a master wizard in my old body, I was well, old. I wouldn’t have been surprised it hurt that body. But this body was young and in decent shape.

“Is my body that weak?” I asked.

She nodded as she looked at me and felt my arm. “Like butter. I mean, stronger than some wizards. But that is like claiming to have the highest grade among the failing students.”

“Then why did you let me practice?” I asked puffed my cheeks a bit.

“Well, any body can handle the right kind amount of aura. I figured you would lend only a bit to your body. Not a full on load.”

“Ah. Okay, let me try that,” I said. Sister seemed worried but I at least understood now. So not a full on sponge. Like a glass jar with a limited space. One drop. I could work from there. One drop in my arm. I felt the air flicker.

“Yeah that is better,” sister said.

Okay, I feel fine. Two drops and then three. The world began spinning slightly. Okay. My limit! I opened my eyes while keeping the focus on the three drops in my hand. I ran forward and punched the stone block nearby.

Crack.

“Aaaa! My hand!” I wailed.

“Sister!” she said grabbing me. The Lady seemed equally concerned.

“But I did it! Why didn’t I crush the rock!” I demanded.

“Sister, you applied a very light coating of aura! By definition it was only a light boost!” she said almost scolding me. “We should get you to the healer.”

“Wait! I wanna see the Lady get revenge with her aura strike! Please!” I asked.

The Lady looked at me and my hand. “Sister, is her injury serious?”

“No, my Lady. At least not serious enough to require her to leave immediately, you wanna try the strike?” sister asked.

“Much as changed here because of her. All good. I will give it five minutes, whether or or fail, you see Lillian after that, okay?” The Lady asked me.

I nodded. I remained sitting on the ground holding my hand as sister and the Lady practiced. The Lady was a natural, I could feel her aura pulses from here. They were weak and inconsistent but better than mine. Her goddess like sculpted body didn’t have the same weaknesses as mine I guess.

She punched the rock and it cracked. My emotional response was a cyclone. On one side, I was happy the Lady did it. Basic aura boosting like this was a massive help to her defensive abilities. But on the flip side. Fuck off with warriors and there cool rock breaking stuff.

Sister looked at me and tapped the cracked stone with an obvious aura strike but one that looked like a love tap. But the cracked rock shattered to dust. Boo! Show off! The Lady helped me stand since my hand was injured. I didn’t need to watch all this nonsense. I was gonna go find Lillian!

Back in the bedroom only Elise was the only one sleeping. I bet Lillian was in her little office, or maybe with Iris? Hmm, darn. The Lady probably knew but I didn’t want to interrupt her training with sister. I decided to just walk around.

I decided checking the dinning area was a sound idea. Since that in there was likely the girls eating breakfast. Which was right. Celeste instantly noticed me clutching my hand.

“Sister? What’s wrong?” she asked.

“I was just a bit stupid. You know where Lillian is?” I asked.

“She said she wanted to be with Sofia today since you mentioned a blessing from her goddess,” Celeste said.

“Ah. I’ll go up there then,” I said.

“No need, I will call them down,” she retorted.

“I apparently need the exercise,” I said pouting. “Though, if you could have sister send up some food for us when she comes up for her fitting, that would be good. I can handle the walk. It is my hand I hurt after all.”

Plus writing a note for my own breakfast order would infuriate me at the moment. She nodded but insisted to walk with me.

Walking up the stairs got me to breath a bit heavily. Was there this many stairs the first time too? Maybe I was breathing heavily then too but I just didn’t notice. Fricking warriors. So unfair.

“You okay sister?” Celeste asked.

“Yeah, just a bit… well, I guess I have always been a tad bit jealous of warriors,” I said.

She chuckled. “To think that someone so amazing could still feel jealously.”

“Hey! I’m still human you know!” I said.

“Rest assured, I meant it as a compliment,” she added.

Once at the top of the tower, Lillian seemed to smell the cracked bones in my hand as she instantly looked at it. “Sister Rosemary! What happened.”

I pouted a bit again. “I just over did a bit of warrior training.”

Sofia put her hand near her lips. “You are a warrior too sister?”

Grumpiness is me! Aaaa! I want Master to hold me now!

“No,” Celeste said. “It appears that is the source of her discontentment.”

“You want to be a warrior?” Lillian asked.

“Who wouldn’t wanna be! They are so cool!” I said rubbing my face where sister punched me yesterday. “Not all soft and squishy.”

“Drascilla grant me the power to heal our dear Rosemary,” Lillian said as she kissed my hand. The warm light filling me as my bones seemed to reconnect. “I happen to think you are amazing enough for three people just as you are.”

“So, we are ready to begin my measurements for the Lady of the Light outfit?” I asked trying to change the subject.

Sofia put her hand on her cheek. “Sort of. I don’t know how to the divine process works. Like do I need to sew with different methods? Can I do it normally and then have it be blessed?”

“Let’s ask her,” I said as I stretched out my newly healed hand. “Drascilla, I seek the favor I was told you would grant. Will you come here please.”

“Rosemary, is that… a bit simplistic as far as a prayer would be considered?” Lillian asked.

A flash emerged and Drascilla appeared before us. “Rosemary, I am quite curious what you plan to ask for, and how you plan to pay for it.”

I looked around and saw Sofia, and Lillian both already on their knees. Celeste was resisting and only let one knee tough the ground. That divinity was harsh. “Well, actually wanted your opinion. We are tasked with blessed cloth. Wondering if it would be better to bless it before or after it has been sewn?”

“I’ll just make you the divine outfits. That would—”

She fell to her knees gasping. I could see shimmers around her. I focused aura into my eyes to once again see the divide between realities. Oh. Drewchel was choking her. I considered commenting but a goddess like Drascilla could no doubt see and feel the split timeline.

Before the goddess of the future vanished, she blinked at me. Those girls have always been sweet on me. I wonder why they were stopping her from making cloth though? Well, it… no its best not to dwell on it. Even if I could figure it out, it would serve me no good if she was directly demanding a specific outcome.

At present the most meaningful thing I could do is get my hand on Jaka flowers. Drascilla eventually stood up. “Damn harpies. Well fine. I assume you don’t have materials for working with divine thread. So, instead of coming back. I will just do this,” she said as she pulled a few strands of her hair.

She walked over and grabbed Sofia’s hands and wrapped the thread around each one. She then held her hands closed over Sofia’s for a moment as light emitted from the goddess’ hands. This was some powerful magic. Though, I had a feeling I understood why she was doing it.

When it ended she looked at me. “So, I have blessed her hands. She can infuse divinity into clothing now. I am sure you understand the implications of this?”

I nodded. “You expect a big offering for it, am I right?”

She smiled. And with that, the light flashed and we were alone again. Though, I noticed something on the ground.

A strain of the goddess hair. Just one. It almost burned to touch but now this was a nice material. I could make use with this. For now I tucked it in my bra. I noticed Celeste was back on her feet. Sofia was staring at her hands. And Lillian was still breathing heavily on her knees.

“Sofia, you there?” I asked.

“Yes! Sorry,” she said.

I smiled. “No biggie, just the divinity in your hand is powerful stuff. It was meant only for blessing cloth, so don’t try and bless anything else. You can probably only handle one outfit a day.”

“How do I bless things?” she asked.

Essentially it would be the same basic concept as aura manipulation. I could teach her, but it would be much better for sister to handle that as a warrior.

Speak of the devil, sister arrived holding our breakfasts. For me it was pancakes and bacon today. I needed the energy.

Lillian was still struggling to stand. “Oh my. I was right to come up here.”

I really needed to do something for her. It was getting silly. Drascilla could have just blessed her already. Only a divine blessing could prevent you from feeling the pressure of divinity. Something like what Sofia received would probably take a tiny sliver of the pressure off. Iris might have a similar protection if she was lucky. But with this hair. I smiled thinking about it.

After breakfast, Sofia measured me and sister. The rest of us left to let Sofia do what she does best. Sister said she’d help Sofia with the blessing for me. That left me more open to work on my next project. I could probably make two more girls in our sisterhood happy today with it. But I needed Elise.

Thankful she was awake when I got down stairs. “Sister, would you be willing to help me with something?”

“Sure,” she said. “What are we up to now?”

“Well, what kind of weapon would be good for our Lady?” I asked.

“Probably tonfa,” she said. “Defensive, works well with her strength.”

“Got it,” I said.

Once we got to Elise’s workshop she was banging away at something. Apparently she was making some gardening stuff for Iris. I’d hate to interrupt but this project was urgent. The hair in my bra was starting to burn a bit.

“Sister Elise! I need your help. I have something I want to make for the head maid and our Lady. But I need it made now, and it may be a bit complicated to make,” I said.

“I’m listening,” she said with her usual perky smile.

I explained that I wanted enough better to make tonfa and a bit more for a pair of rings. She got out her bars of metal. I took out the hair. Stretching it out until it was taut. I placed it against the metal pieces and began channeling mana into it. The hair burned into the metal and once it was about half way in, I stopped the flow of mana. It was pinned in the middle.

I then had took out the jar of divinity, one drop into a bowl of water. We needed to soak in a hammer. Divine infused metal wasn’t going to bend against just a normal hammer. I poured the rest of the divine water onto the anvil, which drank it up instantly. Hopefully it was enough for this.

“Incredible,” sister said. “Watching you work, there is really no doubt that you are the magician’s shadow.”

I smiled. “This is going to be the hard part. Elise is not strong enough for this. So sister, I need you to pound the same spot as Elise moved the metal for you to hit it as she needs.”

“Simple enough, rather be doing this than well, you know,” she said.

Elise chuckled. “So will my forge be hot enough?” she asked.

“Once I help it will be,” I said. Normal forge temp could probably handle what we needed. The problem was that Elise’s forge was a one person small forge for her own use. I doubt she had the proper fuel to get it up to it’s true potential. While you can’t start a fire with just mana, feeding one was easy enough.

The three of us worked long into the afternoon. Sister pounding away, me keeping the heat up and Elise moving it into the right position. But finally we got what we wanted. Two Tonfa and two rings. I thought that was going to be way harder. Elise apparently knew both Celeste’s and Master’s ring size just off hand.

“I am exhausted,” Elise said as she sat down.

Sister was rubbing her shoulder. “That was pretty rough. Sister, how long do you think Master is going to keep the ban on me using your names, or you using my names? I know it hasn’t been long but my sense of time just feels so off. It… is hard on me.”

I hugged her. “Let’s go ask him,” I said. “Though, are you done with the resisting?”

“Yeah,” sister said. “I am… his loyal warrior. Yeah I guess that works.”

“Are you mad at me for what I did to you?” I asked.

“I mean… I guess not. I been it’s not like this is currently worse then dying. I… well. Yeah, I guess that is my answer,” sister said.

I hugged her. Elise ed in on the hug too. “You’re family now,” Elise added. “We will help you.”

It was in that moment that I felt sister’s grip body loosen, even if just a bit.

“Oh Elise, I been trying to give everyone a drop of divinity until I run out. What would you want for yours?” I asked.

“Wait true divinity?” Sister asked. “That would be a national treasure!”

“Well about 90% pure. Maybe 95%. But I digress, Elise?” I asked again.

“Sexual sensitivity mega cream!” She said.

“Sexual… cream?” sister asked. “Basically true divinity, on sex cream. Sister, you can’t be—”

“Consider it done, but that will need to wait until our trip to town. We need supplies. I will write up what we need later,” I said interrupting sister intentionally.

“Hell yeah! Aaaaaaa. Now just got to wait until my turn to be the Lady of the Night, hehehe.”

Oh my, we were in danger!

“Sister, but—”

I pressed a finger to her lips. “Sister, we our Master’s treasures. I already used several drops. You weren’t objecting to me using one to bless her hammer and anvil?”

“Well, that means we can craft high grade enchanted items. I get that, but sex cream?” she asked.

Elise made a groping motion. “You will change your tone once you feel it sister!”

“I… what am I supposed to say to that?” Sister asked.

“Nothing, you should eat, and then help Sofia,” I said as I picked up the tonfa and rings. Delivering as they were would be fine, but I could give them one improvement. Depending on Freya. But I wanted to ask Celeste first.

In the dinning area, Victoria mentioned that Celeste was with Vivi, so I made my way to her workshop and left sister in the workshop.

“Oh?” Celeste said as she noticed me. “Can I help you Rosemary?”

I gave a curtsy, a bit clumsy with the stuff I was holding. “If possible, I would like to talk with Master before dinner. Also, I would like to give you something,” I said holding up the ring.

“A ring? Accessories to be worn require Master’s approval,” she said.

“This is a magic ring, it can block the influence of divine pressure,” I said. I saw Celeste fighting its influence earlier. I thought she would be happy. Surely Master would approve. “I got a second one for him.”

Vivi was the one to respond. “Magic rings? How? My understanding was that magic items required a special forge?”

I rubbed my hair with my hand. “I sort of turned Elise’s forge semi-magical.”

“Semi-magical?” she asked. “What does that mean? She can create magical items right now?”

I shook my head. “We would need magical metal for that. Also, our youngest sisters strength and my mana. We are lacking in magical metal, but after that, yes.”

She rubbed her chin. Clearly her merchant spirit was in full sprint. “And they are deeply enchanted or just stronger than normal?”

“Depends the effect. Edo’s vanes can help me make a ton with enchantments but with some enchantments that alone won’t be enough,” I said looking at her. Vivi was probably the sister I had spoken the least too. “Planning to sell my services?”

“I am a merchant after all, it is as Master had decreed me to be,” she said. “But I wouldn’t think to exploit you. We should take more over our trip, I want to be sure to get you all the best supplies you will need.”

I smiled. “I look forward to it.”

“So,” Celeste said. “You are saying that with Edo, you can enchant these rings?”

I nodded. “I figured we should talk to Master to see how he would want his blessed.”

“Vivi, we will discuss the rest later,” she said as she began walking while holding the ring I gave her.

When Master opened his door, I noticed a book, pages down on his bed. He really did spend most of his time alone. I hadn’t heard of any of the girls talking about mid day sex. Though perhaps that is just less talked about. His room was filled with books, so I suppose he could just be an avid reader.

“How can I help my little seer and my little maid?” he asked.

Celeste fidgeted and turned bright red. That was the first time I heard him call her little maid. I didn’t realize she had gone through such a phase.

“I have enchanted a ring to help you resist divine influence. I figured it may be useful since we are dealing with Drascilla more,” I said. “I could enchant it further depending on the enchantment.”

He shook his head. “No need. I have been blessed. Divine influence doesn’t affect me.”

Celeste clasped her hands. “As expected of Master! Even the divine recognize you.”

Come to think of it, I did sense a bit of a blessed aura around him. I never noticed it before. Maybe I was slipping due to the charm. Hmm. Well. “I already made the ring, should it be used for something else?” I asked.

He took the ring. “As long as it touched the s skin, it will work right? It could be attached to a chain then? I see no one being able to keep a ring my size on their hand otherwise.”

He wasn’t wrong in either case, he did have big hands. “Yes Master.”

He handed it to Celeste. “I want you to have it both of them. Have Rosemary enchant them however you wish.”

She began crying softly. “Yes Master, thank you for this honor.”

“Just inform me of the enchantment you pick before you wear either,” he said.

“I have one more thing to bring up, if I may,” I asked.

He just nodded, and I explained how I thought our newest sister seemed to be distressed by her name being deprived from her.

“I will consider it and make my decision at dinner,” he said.

With that, we both left his room for now.

“So what do you want?” I asked.

“What can they do?” Celeste asked looking at both rings.

“Minor things mostly, though presence and pressure would work too. Like intimidation for example,” I said. The goddesses divine aura would normally do that, so channeling the item to replicate it would be simple enough.

“Master has a ring to erase a presence, so like that?” she asked.

“Kind of, though that would be trickier here. Is that what you want?” I asked.

She shook her head. “No, just curious. Could you make one get people to think I am married to Master?”

I placed my finger on my chin. “Kind of. I can certainly give you the aura of a married woman. But I can’t give people who never met Master knowledge of him as the husband. But if you were seen with him, that would probably work.”

She blushed. “That’s what I want then and for this one,” she said holding the one Master gifted her. “Respect. Like noble respect. The respect we pay the Lady of the Night.”

I smiled and grabbed both rings. “Consider it done.” At worst, I could manage with the one vane in my magic wand but that was my last one. With any luck, Freya would a couple more.

Celeste appeared curious and accompanied me to the stables. Freya was brushing some horses.

“Oh! Head maid! Rosemary,” she said with a curtsy. “How many I help you?”

“I was wondering if you had any more luck with vanes?” I asked.

She smiled and held up a glass jar. “Six. I examined every feather. This is all of them that currently attached to his body.”

Six? Amazing. “Do you have a spare feather from Edo? Nothing special just a normal feather?”

She nodded and walked over to someplace and came back with a feather. “Can I ask what amazing thing you are planning to do now?”

“I’ll show you!” I said as I channeled mana into the vane and as it sparked I coiled it around the feather. I then began writing into the ring. Ancient text, the ones needed for the enchantments Celeste needed. Then I wrote some into the handle of the tonfas. In that one the enchantment was actually a return spell. They were already divinely enchanted. Return seemed to be the kind of spell she’d approve of.

With that, the vane vanished into air and the feather burned away with it.

“So, let’s assume I don’t know what all that did?” Freya asked.

I flicked the ring to Celeste and watched her catch it. My own blessing from the sisters would block an enchantment of this level. It would need to be something serious to enchant me. Like the golden idol. How lucky for me that Master had it. So I couldn’t see the effect but it should be affecting Freya.

“Is the head maid married?” I asked.

“Of course, wait… that isn’t right. Is it? Head maid! You kind of remind me of…. No, was it Master? I am confused!”

I chuckled. And Celeste dropped the ring into a bag to cancel the effect.

“Wait its gone. Was that… that was what the ring did! That was so weird!” Freya added.

“I…” I fell backwards. Oh I am starving.

“Rosemary!” they both shouted.

“I’m okay,” I said trying to reassure them. “Just… you both wouldn’t have something to eat would you? I am—”

My own belly grumbling interrupted me.

Celeste clapped her hands twice and I felt a chill up my spine. “Freya, tell Marianne to prepare something for Rosemary. I will stay with her until you return with said food, though if you see the Lady or our newest sister, can you please ask them to come here.”

Freya ran off without even a curtsy. I felt like I might be in trouble again.

Celeste knelt down next to me. “Rosemary, you are… something else. Tell me honestly, is this related to your mana?”

I nodded. “Well, yeah. I wouldn’t be so low on energy if I ate earlier or used less mana but I am definitely at my mana limit today.”

“You are done using magic today then, yes?” she asked.

“I was going to show—”

She glared at me.

“I suppose sister could probably handle the last part just fine. She should recognize this inscription.”

“I’m glad that our newest sister can help you with such things,” she said smiling.

“Sorry to worry you again,” I said.

She began gently brushing my hair with her fingers. “Honestly I am more worried about who is selected as the Lady of the Night.”

“Hmm?” I asked. She had never been concerned before.

“Well, Master and the Lady of the Light for the most part keep to themselves. It becomes the responsibility of the current lady of the night to handle the rest of the girls. Since we are leaving tomorrow morning. That means whoever he selects tonight will be given that honor. It would be worrying indeed if he selects Elise during you and our newest sister’s first trip.”

I shuddered at the thought. But I remained silent. I trusted master. He would make the right call. I closed my eyes as I waited for food to come and enjoyed the feeling of Celeste stroking my hair as I softly drifted into a nap.

When I woke up, there was a sandwich and orange juice next to bed I was resting on. Looking up, I saw Victoria with a book standing by.

“Hello,” I said as I stood up.

“The Lady and head maid both said you are to eat and then rest until dinner,” she said. “I am serving to ensure that you do so.”

I chuckled. “They think I would defy them?”

“Of course not,” Victoria said. “Though they were worried you may have missed a note. Plus, we wouldn’t want you to be bored. And I would love to chat with you. We have seldom chatted much recently.”

“That is a fair point,” I said as I sipped the juice and took a bite of the sandwich. “I would love to hear more about you.”

She laughed in return. “Compared to you, I think you’d find my background quite boring.”

“Oh? Try me!” I said.

“Well, I was born in the capital, so in that sense I suppose I was well off. I had moderately good grades but my mana potential was too low for magic school. And we didn’t have the extra capital to spend on such things. My mother had an illness and its treatment was costly. She worked in the grand archive too. She was it’s heaster before I was born. Father was a soldier in the capital elite guard too. Their lives—”

“Annela and Joseph Wal…. Wal…. Something. Right?” I asked. I can’t believe I didn’t recognize little Vicky. To think the world was so small. I guess I never met her, but I when her mother resigned from the grand archive.

“Waltzer,” she said with a smile. “To think, you’d know so much.”

I took another bite. “It isn’t that surprising, I spent a lot of time in the capital back then. I don’t if I told you, but I am older than I look.”

“That certainly would explains your seemingly endless knowledge,” Victoria said. “Okay but then what about you? Can I hear how your life started?”

Now that was an interesting question. Do I tell her the full truth? My cover story? I guess I could mix them a bit. “Rosemary Ashwood, was born in the Ashwood forests near the Azula mountains,” I lied. Well partly. I was born near the Azlua mountains but I couldn’t it to being born somewhere different than my current last name. “My parents didn’t work in the forest though, they were miners. Specifically jasper stone miners,” I added this time telling the truth.

“Jasper? I heard the mines near the Azlula mountains ran dry several decades ago,” she said.

I nodded. “I wasn’t there when it happened. I left before that. I didn’t want to live that life, so I studied and made my way to magic school. I got a letter about the mines closure, but I didn’t respond. My parents ended up ing before they found new work.”

“That’s awful,” she said.

“Yeah, to be honest. I don’t even what they look like,” I itted. I felt like an awful child at moments like that. “I never really had a family ever again. I came close a few times, but I never have truly felt at home before… well, now.”

Victoria came over and hugged me.

I patted her head. We switched to lighter topics after that. I finished my sandwich and we laid in bed together until we were summoned for dinner.

The Lady of the Night gave me a curtsy. “Thank you for the gift.”

I gave her a thumbs up. “Did our newest sister teach you how to use the magic?” I asked.

“She did,” the Lady replied.

The doors opened and we all took our seats. Master stood up to make his normal address. “Tomorrow we shall be going to town for supplies. Our dear Rosemary shall be looking for special materials as well. As a result, I have a few pieces of information to report. Natalia or Brenda shall accompany her at all times. No exceptions. Also, Celeste will be this months Lady of the Light.”

Celeste stood up with her hands to her face, as if she was about to cry. “Thank you so much Master.”

He nodded for her to sit again. “In addition, our newest sister Brenda is doing well. So we shall remove the restriction on her name. As long as we suffer no issues during our trip, then that will remain in effect. I look forward to seeing what you accomplish my little warrior.”

Brenda blushed. “I … uhm. Thanks?”

We all giggled a bit.

“As for the honor for today. Sofia and Brenda, you have earned my service,” he said as he plated their dinner.

Sofia blushed too and seemed ready to try and race against Brenda but calling it a race was generous. Brenda won by a landslide and thus she got to serve Master. On her second night too! Warriors really were so lucky sometimes!

Dinner went as it always did after that. With us all lining up like before. Brenda still refused to cup her breasts. I heard Master teasing her but he was too far away from me to make out any exact words. He actually stopped in front of me before he reached forwards and squeezed Marianne’s breast that was almost touching my arm.

“Master! I’m so happy!” she squealed.

“Would you like to take a girl with you?” he asked as she was scooped up.

“No. I’m sorry if it is selfish but I want you all to myself if I can Master!”

He smiled and took her away. Lucky girl. Oh wait, that meant Celeste is going to be doing breakfast tomorrow. Neat.
