Chapter 5. Baron's Daughter (5)
Chapter 5. Baron's Daughter (5)
"Take good care of the poor people. Can you do that?"
Is she telling me to do charity work?
It's a somewhat vague order.
In any case, I answered that I would.
As long as I can learn magic.
Something like donations or volunteer work is totally doable.
"Good, then let's start by clarifying the definition of magic first."
The proper theory lesson began.
I perked up my ears.
And tried my best to remember the words coming out of Lieselotte's mouth.
Lieselotte defined magic as follows.
Based on mana.
Using will as the catalyst.
Shaking reality itself.
It sounded pretty convincing.
Soon after, Lieselotte cast her first spell.
"Fire."
As soon as she chanted the incantation, a small spark formed at her fingertip.
"Wow.."
I let out an exclamation before I knew it.
Before reincarnating into this other world.
Back when I was living in Korea, fire wasn't all that precious.
You could just flick a lighter.
But not here.
Starting a fire is a hassle and a chore.
So once you got one going,
you had to cover it with ashes to keep the embers from dying out completely.
In that sense, the magic Lieselotte showed me was super practical.
"Please teach me."
I bowed down flat.
Because I wanted to learn it by any means necessary.
"Hehe, no need to worry. I'll teach you step by step. First, let's practice Mana Breathing."
What's Mana Breathing?
The explanation followed right as the question popped into my head.
Mana Breathing is, as the name suggests, a breathing technique that gathers mana fragments floating in the air.
Lieselotte demonstrated first.
She breathed in deeply.
Then exhaled slowly.
Breathed in deeply again.
And let out a short, sharp huff.
It was a unique breathing method.
Imitating it wasn't easy.
Fortunately, Lieselotte guided me carefully.
She placed her hand on my chest.
The rising and falling chest.
"A little slower.. Good, just like that."
After practicing the breathing for about 30 minutes.
I felt something gathering in my lower abdomen.
"Can you feel it?"
"Yes, it's heavy yet warm."
Lieselotte smiled brightly.
"That's mana. The more care you put into your breathing, the higher the purity."
Mana.
A concept that pops up a lot in fiction.
Mages use mana to perform all sorts of miracles.
"Now, let's practice actual magic."
Lieselotte's explanation continued.
It was kind and detailed.
I pictured fire in my mind.
"It's not enough to just picture it. Try to feel the heat and shape of that fire."
Lieselotte added more elaboration.
"Fire can turn everything to ashes, but it also creates what we need. A world without fire has no weapons or dishes. Contemplate fire. What it is, and what it means to humanity."
Lieselotte said.
I needed to deepen my understanding of fire.
She advised me to calmly contemplate the concept of fire, like in meditation.
I did as Lieselotte instructed.
Not long after.
Sweat beaded up on my body.
"Now, look at your fingertip and chant the incantation."
"Fire."
My index finger.
Something flickered at the tip.
It was tiny and unimpressive.
But it was definitely an ember.
At the same time, my lower abdomen felt empty.
Probably because I'd consumed mana.
"Impressive. You're the first one to learn this fast. You must have innate mana sensitivity and control."
Lieselotte showered me with praise.
"It's thanks to your thorough guidance."
"Good, since we're at it, I'll teach you an attack spell too."
Lieselotte taught me Stun magic.
Stun.
A spell that uses electricity to temporarily knock out an opponent.
I thought about electricity.
It was harder than fire.
Not only is it invisible, but in this world, you can't even encounter it easily.
Still, with patience, I steadily visualized it.
And finally, I succeeded in creating electricity.
Harder than Fire magic.
But pretty damn useful.
Now, if I can just touch an opponent's body, I can shock them.
"That's the end of today's lesson."
Lieselotte snapped her fingers.
The surroundings shifted back.
I was still holding Anna.
The thing still gasping and spurting semen.
The afterglow of orgasm lingered.
I'd clearly had over an hour of lessons with Lieselotte, but in reality, only a few seconds had passed.
Was it just a brief dream?
Maybe it was all just a delusion.
No, that couldn't be.
It was too vivid for a delusion.
Lieselotte's voice, her touch, her gentle tone—they still lingered vividly.
Upper right of my vision.
Two numbers appeared.
1/1
The numbers soon changed.
Back to 0/1.
As I stared at the numbers.
A phrase popped up.
[Sometimes, you have no choice but to take what's someone else's.]
The phrase vanished soon after.
But it was etched deep in my mind.
No choice but to take someone else's?
What did that mean?
It felt like a riddle.
"Kiss.."
Suddenly, Anna demanded a kiss.
Her sweat-drenched face was too cute.
"Chueup.."
I gladly tangled our tongues.
After enjoying the afterplay for a good while.
I slowly pulled out the now-softened dick.
Juruk.
Anna's crotch ended up soaked in white fluid.
The precious virginity she'd guarded.
That place kept twitching.
And each time, the semen pooled inside her pussy gushed out.
The bedsheets were a mess.
But that's for the maids to handle.
"You okay?"
I asked casually, dropping the honorifics.
The utterly exhausted Barony Noblewoman.
Even after sex, she didn't mind the informal speech.
"Mhm.."
I fetched a towel first.
And carefully wiped Anna's slit.
There was a bit of blood.
But nothing to worry about.
"Does it hurt?"
"Feels languid.."
Anna murmured with a weak smile.
"Is it okay if I keep talking casually?"
"Yeah, doesn't matter."
I lay down next to Anna.
The bed surrounded by curtains.
The air trapped inside was stiflingly hot.
With my hand, I groped Anna's breast.
Heavy, voluptuous, and squishy.
This sensation—I could never get tired of it.
"Earlier, wasn't I too vulgar?"
Anna, face buried in my chest.
She whispered.
Her hot breath touched my chest.
"Yeah. But that's what made it even better."
Anna spewed all sorts of vulgar words.
Dick, pussy, even.
She went so far as to call me Master.
If Baron Kargon heard.
He'd probably have me dismembered.
Since his precious daughter bowed her head to a lowly man.
"I didn't know it'd feel this good."
"Really? Did you cum?"
It's not easy to orgasm on your first time.
"I came.. or whatever that means, I don't really know.. but my head went white, my crotch tingled like crazy, and it felt like I was floating on clouds."
This woman, she came.
Maybe she's got a talent for night duties.
We hugged each other.
Warm body heat.
In some ways, the embrace felt better than sex.
Anna smelled nice.
Perfume mixed with sweat.
The fragrance of a woman blended with her soft skin.
My dick got hard again.
But I decided not to push it.
Doing it more than once on her first time would be too much.
"Fire."
I chanted the incantation.
An ember formed at my fingertip.
Thanks to relentless practice?
It was bigger and clearer than before.
Hwaruruk.
I held it to the firewood.
And flames caught instantly.
"Haha."
I burst out laughing without realizing.
My encounter with Lieselotte.
It wasn't a delusion at all.
I'd really learned magic!
I'd learned one more spell besides that.
Stun magic.
But it consumed a ton of mana.
I had to do Mana Breathing for 30 minutes just to use it once.
I practiced magic every night.
Once my drunk father passed out.
I did Mana Breathing, then cast Fire and Stun.
Three days later.
Baron Kargon returned as scheduled.
For some reason, a chill ran down my spine.
I tried to return to daily life.
But every time I closed my eyes, Anna's naked body flickered in my mind.
Her slim waist and wide hips.
The graceful curve connecting those two elements lingered in my head.
And one night, Yannick came.
"Hans, you're summoned."
"Understood."
My father asked what was up.
I lied that I was off to do labor at the Lord's Manor.
Yannick walking ahead.
Old, but his back was straight.
His muscles were big and firm.
I'd heard he'd served in the Reformation War and beheaded countless heretics.
His skills probably hadn't rusted.
My body trembled.
Was it the Baron's summons?
If the Baron had caught on, I was screwed.
I might get dragged to the basement for horrific torture.
Better to run in that case.
But how?
Could I take Yannick down with my strength?
Impossible.
In the end, I had no choice but to follow him to the Lord's Manor.
Yannick's footsteps stopped in front of the first-floor bathroom.
Luckily, it didn't seem like the Baron's summons.
Clara was standing in front of the bathroom door, her expression toward me far from pleasant.
Yannick left me there and soon vanished into the corridor's darkness.
Clara slowly opened the door.
Hot air hit my face.
Beyond the steamy haze, a seductive silhouette shimmered.
"You're here?"
"Yes, miss."
I bowed my head.
"When it's just us two, casual speech is fine."
"G-Got it."
The door closed behind me.
While Anna and I enjoy our secret rendezvous, Clara will stand watch outside.
The Barony Noblewoman approached lightly on her feet.
She undressed me.
And neatly folded my clothes, setting them aside.
Now it was bath time.
Surprisingly, Anna attended to my bath.
Like a slave.
On her knees, she rubbed and scrubbed every inch of my body with a towel.
It was a stimulating situation.
The noble lady who was always so haughty.
Now acting like a maid.
Soon, my sweat- and grime-caked body was clean.
Anna hugged me as I sat on the bath stool.
Her body gave off a fresh scent.
Soap smell.
Mixed with her natural body odor.
Skin met skin.
Just that made my dick harden.
Anna knelt down.
Bent at the waist, burying her face between my crotch.
"This is your first time with this, right?"
"Mhm.."
Fellatio was a first.
Her tongue hadn't even touched yet.
But my excited cock throbbed nonstop in anticipation.
"I'm starting. Forgive me if I'm clumsy."
Anna licked the glans with her tongue tip.
A light touch.
But the pleasure it brought was immense.
"Urk..!"
A moan escaped me unwittingly.
Anna glanced up.
The expression on her face looked extremely proud.
Her teeth grazed occasionally.
It couldn't be helped.
This was her first fellatio too.
Beginners are always clumsy.
We can refine it bit by bit.
Then someday, she'll milk semen with just her lips and tongue.
Her tongue sliding up and down the shaft.
Clumsy, but full of sincerity.
I sat with legs spread, gently stroking Anna's hair.
"Chueup.. Chueueup.. Feels good?"
"Yeah, really good."
I pinched her cheek lightly with praise.
Anna grinned broadly.
The shy smile of an inexperienced lady.
My aroused cock throbbed fiercely once more.
