000 Days Later: The Gloomy Young Lady's Training (8)
Swish— swish— swish—
Normally, Topaz would have finished her chores by now.
But today, she just couldn't focus, so she was still cleaning.
"...."
Drip—!
—He said he'd get it today... that custom order I commissioned.
The reason was obvious: what Rian had said that morning.
'Master Rian... wh-what the hell have you prepared!!'
No, hadn't he definitely said they were doing an 'exposure' play in the garden? She thought it would just end with stripping outside... She couldn't understand what he meant by custom-ordering something.
'Agh... the more I think about it, the weirder my thoughts get...'
Swish— swish— swish—
Topaz started sweeping again, but unfortunately, she was just re-sweeping the same spot.
'And... why is he so late today...'
Topaz pouted and glanced out the window.
It was already evening, with the sun dipping low and dark.
Swish!! Swish!!
'Agh!! Am I the only one stressing out about this?!'
While she couldn't even clean properly because that 'promise' from morning kept lingering in her head!!
Seeing how late it was, had Master Rian completely forgotten about the promise?
'...Then.... what... am I... the only idiot...'
Squeeze—
Realizing her grip had tightened on the broom, Topaz let out a sigh.
"Haa... I know, okay? A maid shouldn't have these kinds of feelings..."
Yes, she knew it in her head.
She knew, but...
'...It's Master Rian's fault.'
Topaz bit her lower lip. Ever since Rian had picked her up from the back alleys, eating moldy bread...
She'd tried countless times to stick to her duties as a maid, to not cross the line...
But in the end, she'd given him her body and heart completely.
"...Haa."
Topaz let out a deep sigh. Even knowing Rian had no interest in the successor position, the reason she'd subtly placed him at the center of the competition wasn't loyalty.
...It was a far more selfish reason.
She wanted Rian to get official permission from the Ludwig family to establish his own branch family.
By imperial law, if Rian had a child now, only one—the legitimate heir from the principal wife—would receive noble status.
And Topaz didn't even dare hope that her child would be the one Rian chose as that heir.
'Of course not...'
There was an insurmountable wall of status between her and Rian.
But...
What if Rian established a 'branch family' separate from the Ludwigs?
Then, a child born between them could be treated as a noble as the heir of the new branch family head.
It wasn't that she coveted a noble title. She just wanted any child she had with Rian to be on equal footing with other children.
'...Haa. Telling Master Rian about something like this...'
Topaz covered her face with her hands.
What would he say if he knew she was having such presumptuous thoughts?
"Topaz?"
"─────Eek!!! Y-you scared me!! M-Master Rian! Wh-when did you get here?!"
At the familiar voice behind her, Topaz let out a scream.
"What were you thinking so deeply that you didn't even answer? I called you several times."
"I-I wasn't thinking anything!!"
"Really? While sweeping at thin air?"
"...?!"
Whoosh—whoosh—!
She'd been so lost in thought that, just as Rian said, the broom was swinging through empty air.
"Eek...!!...Th-this is...!!"
Her face flushed with embarrassment, Topaz set the broom aside and cleared her throat.
"Ahem.... I don't know. More importantly, Master Rian, did something happen?"
"Huh? Nothing much."
"...."
His eyes aren't smiling, and nothing much happened...?
They'd lived together for 10 years.
Topaz could tell just from looking at his expression.
'Always keeping everything to himself...'
Rian often praised her for being all-purpose and helpful...
But the order was backward.
She wasn't helpful because she was all-purpose; she became all-purpose because she wanted to help him.
'...Haa, he'll tell me later.'
If it was really important, he'd always tell her. More importantly, right now...
Squeeze— Just seeing Rian's face brought the promise back to mind.
'...Wh-when are we doing it?... After dinner?... M-maybe... I didn't know, so I prepared... but...'
Bringing it up first was embarrassing, but staying quiet made her anxious...
Fidget—
While Topaz inwardly hoped Rian would mention it first...
"Topaz."
"D-did you call me? Master Rian."
She barely managed not to stutter.
"Follow me."
"...Yes."
Thump—! Thump—!
Rian's cold voice didn't even allow questions.
Normally, he treated her so casually it was hard to believe he was a noble...
But at night, it was different.
This was how he made their master-servant relationship crystal clear.
Step— step—
"...."
"...."
Topaz followed Rian into the study—
Click—
The door locked.
"Close your eyes."
"....Yes."
As Topaz closed her eyes at his command, something wrapped around her neck.
"Okay, you can open them now."
Swish— '...Huh?'
When she opened her eyes, there was a collar around Topaz's neck...
And Rian was holding the leash attached to it.
"Wh-what is this...?!...Master Rian?!"
Topaz shouted, her voice a mix of anger and humiliation.
"It's a collar, duh?"
"That's not what I meant!! Why are you─"
Tug—!
Rian yanked the leash, and her breath caught.
'Guh... uht!?♥'
It wasn't enough to stop her breathing completely.
What was it... like when Master Rian choked her in bed...
A slight discomfort mixed with pleasant pressure.
"Guhk!...Hahk!♥...Y-you said... it was... exposure... play...! Haa...!! So why a collar...♥"
"What are you talking about? Collars are standard for exposure play."
Topaz gaped at Rian, who said it like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
Standard?
Standard in what world!!
"I had it custom-made just for you. Pretty pricey, right? Top-grade leather, specially treated so it won't chafe your skin..."
Swish—
"Oh, look here. Your name's engraved on the inside."
Rian lifted her chin to show her the mirror...
[To.Paz.]
She could see the letters engraved on the inside of the collar.
"...D-don't... waste... money... on something... like this...!"
As Topaz grumbled, Rian met her gaze and asked back.
"So, you hate the gift I gave you, Topaz?"
"Ugh...!"
He knew the answer and still asked. Of course she didn't hate it.
She could be happy with anything as long as it was from Rian.
Whoosh—!
"...I didn't say... I hated it."
Rian smiled in satisfaction at Topaz's averted answer.
"Alright, I'll head out now. Strip completely and just put on that coat over there. Three minutes should be plenty, right?"
Rian pointed to the thin coat hanging in the corner of the study.
"Aaaaaah... seriously... meanie!!"
Step— step—
While Topaz trembled, Rian opened the study door and added one more thing.
"Oh, don't forget to put on the tail and ears I left on the desk?"
"Pardon?...Wh-what...? W-wait!...Master Rian!!...Tail and... ears what the hell!!"
Click—! Swish—
Rian left without answering, and Topaz's gaze turned to the desk.
Brown puppy ear headband. And next to it, a tail attached to a butt plug.
'Ugh... h-he's... such a pervert...!!'
Her face burned at the familiar plug shape.
Having been thoroughly trained back there by Rian already, Topaz knew exactly where the tail went.
'...Ears... fine, whatever... but the tail!!... G-good thing... I prepared... earlier...!!...What if... I hadn't...?!♥'
Slither— Thud— Thud—
Topaz stripped off her maid uniform, shook her head, and picked up the headband.
Swish—
'O-okay... now just... the t-tail... in... Aghhh!!♥'
Gulp—
Topaz picked up the tail with trembling hands.
Fortunately, it was smaller than the ones Rian had used for training before... but still big enough to feel it inside.
Thud— Thud—
Topaz took a deep breath and opened the lube.
'Hoo!... Hoo!... In... it goes!!♥Ugh... ughk...!♥'
Topaz bent over in front of the mirror, reaching back.
She pressed the well-lubed plug against her anal entrance...
Squish—!
"Uh... grrrk?!♥"
Twitch—! Twitch—!
Her well-trained anus swallowed the tail, sending waves of pleasure that made her legs shake.
Swish— A moment later, as Topaz calmed her anus and looked in the mirror...
'Agh..!?!...This is insane... what... the hell is this...!!'
There stood a naked woman with a collar, shaking a puppy tail.
"Uguuuuuuh!!!♥"
She couldn't bear to look any longer in her right mind. Topaz grabbed the coat, threw it on, and bolted out of the study.
Click—!
"...Exactly three minutes."
Rian, arms crossed as he waited, scanned Topaz from head to toe.
"You stripped everything inside the coat, right?"
"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!! Y-yes!! I stripped!! Happy now!!"
"Yeah, looks good. Shall we go?"
Rian grabbed the leash connected to the collar and started walking toward the garden.
Step— step—
"Ugh... eek!! W-wait...! M-Master Rian..! S-slower...!"
Because of the difference in their strides, if she didn't hurry, the collar choked her.
Twitch—! Twitch—!
And every hurried step made the tail sway against her ass, stimulating the inside of her anus.
'Heek...!♥...Ev-every step...♥Ugh... ughk...!♥...Deep in my anus... eek!♥'
Step— step—
"Alright... this should do."
"...Wh-what?"
A corner of the garden behind the mansion, between the wall and the building.
Crunch—
"Strip, you bitch."
Rian stopped and whispered while nibbling her earlobe.
"....Uh... grrrk!!"
Tears welled up in Topaz's eyes. Honestly, she didn't want to. The humiliation was on a whole different level from stripping in the study.
"...."
But under Rian's gaze looking down at her...
Slither— Thud—!
In the end, Topaz undid the coat buttons.
"Th-there! I stripped─...Kyeek?!?♥"
Smack—!
As she opened her mouth to hide her shame, Rian slapped her ass.
"...I said bitch. Who said you could speak human?"
"Aguuuu...!"
Squeeze—!
Her eyes screamed, Then what the hell do you want?! as she glared, and Rian answered.
"Bark like a bitch."
"B-bark? What do you mean bark!... Master Rian!! Are you insane─"
At the crazy command, Topaz immediately rebelled, but...
Smack—! Smack—! Smack—!
"Hyat..!♥..I-it hurts!♥..Master Rian!..A-ass...!♥...Haa... ughk!♥!...It hurts!!...Waa!...Grrrk!!♥Don't stop!♥"
"...."
Smack—! Smack—!
Rian silently kept spanking her, as if he'd expected it.
Smack—! She was going mad.
'Uguht!?!!♥♥...Ha.. haa!...Haak...!♥'
If it was just pain, she could endure... but
Each handprint made the tail in her anus rub inside, mixing pleasure with the pain.
Smack—! Finally, unable to take it, Topaz squeezed her eyes shut and said,
"...W-woof!♥"
Drip—
At that moment, Rian stopped the punishment and gently stroked her ass.
"Good girl. See how pretty you are when you obey? ...You'll keep obeying from now on, right?"
"...Woof♥"
The second response came much easier than the first.
