My Servant System

---

Quick little reminder and something to clear any confusion.

1) If you leave a comment and it contains a word that would be considered an 'adult' word please type it with a '.' or a space or something similar, so that the comment gets officially posted.

2) Someone asked if Jahi and Kat had sex yet, to which the answer is no. Groping and kissing? Yes, but no sex. Their first time is going to be a whole chapter, maybe two, so... (Not going to namedrop since I don't want to potentially embarrass someone or something...)

Anyways, if you were confused when I when I write things like 'Jahi gave me a pleasurable night' or similar things, it is just groping, kissing, and leaving hickeys/marks. That's all, so far...

Jahi started her habit of slinking off during the night to train, annoying me slightly.

Every time I woke up to a large, warm, yet empty bed, my heart hurt.

Yet, I could never manage to catch her before she left, only being able to wait for her return, just to silently wash her off before clinging to her in bed.

However, other than her nightly training sessions, Jahi was practically glued to my side. There were few moments when I managed to be alone, but I didn't mind her presence. In fact, I quite enjoyed knowing that she was always near me.

There was just some kind of comfortable feeling of knowing that she was lying on the couch with a book when I cleaned, or that she was just on the other side of the field when we trained.

Time slowly passed again, the only new addition to our routine being a weekly excursion to Fovos Forest.

I looked forward to those days, where I could whet my blade and sate my bloodlust.

The time spent peacefully at home had become slightly straining on my mental, as I sorely longed for the rush that killing provided.

However, I managed to slowly acclimate myself to reigning in my desires, finding ways to focus that want to something else.

Diving into magic helped alleviate my withdrawal like state, as I slowly refined my control and created and tested new sequences.

One that I was immensely proud of was when I managed to combine two completed runes together.

I created a spear of water that was not only fast, but rotated quickly as well. On top of that, I added a cluster of revolving spheres that had their own devastating piercing ability.

When I had tried this spell in the forest, I had been amazed at how much damage it caused.

It cleanly pierced through multiply trees before eventually loosing its shape, coating another tree in a large amount of water.

I had of course tried it on goblins, however...

Well, the resulting explosion of blood and gore, while satisfying, was quite flashy. So unless I needed to intimidate someone by making their companions get pierced by a large spear before three spheres tore their body apart, than I don't plan on using the spell for anything weak...

Besides my accidental creation of a spell that could potentially be powered up enough to pierce thick plates of steel, I managed to also get that golden ratio of 1:1 when fighting with Jahi.

The way she pouted when I managed to slip under her blade and snake my dagger towards her throat was exquisite.

It was during one of these spars that the Marquess had received a letter, but Jahi and I ignored it.

Quickly parrying her blade to the side, I jabbed my fist into her stomach, only to have Jahi grab my fist and yank me forwards.

Slamming her forehead into mine, she followed up with a precise stab aimed at my chest, making me roll to the side.

I lunged forwards, swaying away from her slash that gouged the earth below our feet.

Stabbing my dagger towards her side, I widened my eyes when I saw her grinning down at me, before...

I flew backwards, my jaw stinging as I collapsed to the ground.

Jahi had punched me in the jaw...

Feeling the cold steel on my throat, I glared up at Jahi before sighing.

She offered me her hand, and upon taking it I was dragged into her arms, feeling the warmth spread through my body as she cast a healing spell on both of us.

Before she could speak, the Marquess sighed.

Looking at her, we saw the Marquess pinch the bridge of her nose, before looking towards us.

Seeing our questioning gaze, she gave a wry smile before saying "The Duchess is hosting a ball, and we are being 'asked' to attend. Hah, I really don't want to see her smug face..."

"When?"

Hearing Jahi, the Marquess chuckled mirthlessly, saying "In two days..."

I looked at the Marquess, my mouth open as I tried to understand that timetable.

The Duchess threw together a ball and wanted to Nobility to attend... with a two day notice?!

Chuckling again, the Marquess said "So, Ria is going t take Jahi to get some more... formal clothing... It'll just be you and I, pup."

I smiled dryly at the Marquess, before turning to look at Jahi's displeased face.

Leaning close to her ear, I whispered something, chuckling when I saw her face brighten and eyes widen.

"Really!?"

I nodded at her, before watching her rush from the Training Grounds after giving me a quick peck on the lips.

The Marquess watched in confusion, before looking at me, her brow furrowed.

"What did you offer her that made her so excited?"

I just chuckled again, staying silent.

After staring at me for a few more moments, the Marquess sighed before scooping up a sword, grinning at me.

"Well, I'll just beat it out of you~"

I shivered slightly, before dropping into a stance and charging at her.

Sending my dagger slashing towards her, I grit my teeth as her blade met mine, sending a jolt down my arm.

Growling in annoyance, I jumped back and started quickly tracing a rune, watching in amusement as the Marquess matched my growl, trying to stop me from finishing it.

However, I had gotten quite good at activating runes, and the Marquess swore that she would limit herself, keeping her strength slightly above ours, and so far she has kept true to that.

Feeling my body become coated in water mana, I grinned at the charging Marquess, sending. flurry of slashes and stabs at her.

However, even if she was limiting her strength, her skill with a sword was immense.

I watched in awe as she swiftly parried each one, before her hand shot forwards and grabbed my neck.

She looked at me, before nodding as she let me go.

"Again."

~~~

I collapsed to the ground, my body drenched in sweat.

I had gone through a few dozen spars with the Marquess, each one lasting roughly a few minutes as she beat my imperfections away.

My body was bruised and battered, and even after using my own healing magic I had phantom pains where the Marquess had landed a clean blow.

Looking down at me, the Marquess grinned before gently lifting me up, taking my limp body towards the bath.

My lungs burned, and even as I managed to execute a sloppy healing rune, I still groaned as she undressed me.

Placing me on a stool, the Marquess gently rinsed me off before placing me into the large bath, and I moaned as I felt the warm water lap over my body, slowly loosening my tense muscles.

Getting in after me, the Marquess sighed before looking at me.

"Just so you know, the Duchess will be trying to get her daughter to snag Jahi."

My head whipped towards her, listening to her intently.

"It won't be as bad as the other noble children attending, some of which may just literally offer themselves to Jahi in exchange for a spot as a mistress. So, I don't envy your job as you watch Jahi be surrounded by dozens of beautiful women~"

She laughed as I glared at her, before I bit the tip of thumb, my pain long forgotten.

This would be the first social event Jahi and I ever attended, and I knew that we had lucked out with Leone and Anput, since neither could care about their position. However, the others around our age would likely be the typical snobs.

Not only would I have to deal with warding off women that offered themselves to Jahi, I would likely have to deal with many men that wanted to court her as well, even though they knew she was only into women.

Looking back at the Marquess, I asked in a serious voice "Can I bring my dagger?"

She stared at me for a few moments, before letting out a roar of laughter.

Wiping a tear that streamed from her eye, the Marquess kept laughing as she shook her head.

"No, no you can't. I don't wish to explain why someone lost their hand, maybe even life, to the Empress and Duchess... as entertaining as that would be.

Clicking my tongue, I fell back into contemplation, wondering how I should go about keeping women away from Jahi.

I sighed, realizing how little I could truly do due to my status as a maid, before I grinned.

After all, there is one thing I can always do, something to make her look at me, and only me...
