Chapter Title: Sonya's Daughter Sophia
-----------------------------------------------------------------
"D-Daughter, stop! I can... explain everything."
Sonya reached out to Sophia with a trembling voice, but Sophia flinched and pulled away.
"M-Mom? Are you... cheating? Have you been lying to Dad and me all this time?"
'Phew... what the hell? What just happened?
It was really dangerous. Looks like it's true that the source of mana is in the heart.'
I steadied my racing heart and provoked Sophia, who was glaring at me.
"Oh? You must be Sonya's daughter, Sophia. I've heard a lot about you. Your mom was always so proud."
Sophia's green eyes flashed with fury as she glared even harder.
That's when her gaze caught the identification tag dangling from Sonya's navel.
"W-What... is that...?"
"You know what it is. It's the tag they put on livestock. Your mom here? I decided to raise her as a special milk cow.
Too bad she didn't produce any milk worth using. Haha!"
"I'll... k-kill you!!"
Sophia shouted in a quivering voice and lunged toward me, but Emma and Sonya stepped in, wrapping around me protectively and halting her.
Right in front of Sophia's eyes, I fondled Sonya's breasts as she clung to me.
"Ahh... Hnng..."
Still riding the high from our earlier sex, Sonya let out moans without a care if her daughter heard.
"You're a girl, but you're using 'knight' techniques?
Too bad for you—what happens if something goes wrong with me? Sonya dies too.
She tried to kill me the moment she separated from my body, right?"
Sonya turned to Sophia as she heard my words.
"No! Sophia, if you harm the Master, I will never forgive you."
"M-Mom, what are you... saying? M-Master?"
I spoke to the bewildered Sophia.
"Yeah, that's right. I infused mana into Sonya's body and altered her recognition completely. It's like a powerful hypnosis."
"T-That's impossible! I've never heard of magic like that."
'Pfft... good thing she's still just a naive kid who loves her mom. Now, how should I gaslight her?'
I cupped Sonya's breast and twisted her nipple as I continued.
Squeeze.
"Haa... Hnng..."
"See? Sonya's state right now proves it. Have you ever seen your mom like this?
If you kill me, the mana inside her body will explode, and you'll lose her forever."
"Ugh... you filthy... Dad was right. We should've killed all the black-haired Western Continent scum on sight..."
'Sophia... Pierre taught you well, huh? Too bad—that just means you'll suffer even more.'
"Wow... I don't discriminate based on origin, but you're just like your dad, aren't you?
Let me show you something even more fun. Sonya, masturbate right there in that position."
Sonya glanced at me in momentary confusion.
"Milk cow. Do it, or no more cock from now on!"
"Y-Yes... Master, I'm sorry. Hnng... Haa..."
Sonya slid her index and middle fingers into her pussy and began masturbating.
Sophia's face twisted more and more as she watched, her eyes filling with despair as she muttered to herself.
"H-How... I have to... free Mom from this pain..."
'Huh? Has this girl's gone mad?'
I sneered at Sophia mockingly.
"You... don't tell me? Were you just about to kill your mom? You're a total ungrateful brat."
Her pupils visibly shook at my words.
"I-I didn't... How do I even..."
"Haha, I don't want to die by your hand either... Hmm, let me make you a proposal."
Sophia looked at me with a trembling voice.
"W-What...? What proposal?"
I gripped Sonya's breast tighter, twisting her nipple as I went on.
"Haa... Hnng..."
Sonya plunged her fingers into her pussy even faster, her moans growing louder.
"How about... I give you a chance to turn your mom back to normal? But honestly, I like this milk cow a lot.
So... if you take her place, I'll restore your mom. What do you say?"
Sophia's clenched fists trembled as she spoke.
"H-How can I... trust someone like you...?"
'Hahaha, that spark's back in her eyes. Good thing she's innocently naive. Phew...'
I moved the hand from Sonya's breast to her mouth, hooking her tongue with my index and middle fingers, playing with it.
Slurp... Slch... Heh... Haha... Slurp.
Sonya giggled, drool spilling from her open mouth.
"What other choice do you have but to trust me?
Pick one: let your rage kill both me and Sonya—or wait, Emma too, since she's like an older sister who grew up with you?
Or accept my offer and save your precious people. Sacrifice just yourself, and everyone can go back to their normal lives."
At the mention of Emma's name, Sophia finally seemed to register the woman wrapped around me beside Sonya.
"E-Emma sis? Sis got caught up in this too...?"
Emma approached Sophia and slapped her cheek hard.
Smack!
'Oh... Emma's unpredictable as always. But damn, that slap felt good.'
"Don't talk to me, you crazy bitch. How dare you threaten the Master's life and act all friendly!"
Sophia clutched her stinging cheek and collapsed to the floor, head bowed.
"H-How could that sweet sis... hit me..."
"I'm not rushing you. Come to the Tolly Family annex tomorrow evening.
If you've decided to kill me, go ahead and try. But if any threat comes to me?
Sonya and Emma die from mana explosions in their bodies—without a trace. All because of you! Hahaha!"
I stepped lightly on Sophia's hand as she sat staring at the floor, then headed for the bedroom door.
"Emma, let's go. The mood's ruined."
As we left the room, Sophia's eyes caught the sparkling gem on the plug in Sonya's anus.
"W-What... is that...?"
After leaving the bedroom and fixing our clothes, as I exited Pierre's front gate, Sonya grabbed my hand desperately.
"M-Master? Is that it for today...?"
I smiled at her.
"Milk cow. Follow me. I have something to say to you too."
We left Pierre's house and walked to a bench in the central village square, where I sat down.
I seated Sonya beside me and whispered quietly.
"My lovely livestock, Sonya? Your daughter just tried to kill me.
I was going to look after Sophia like you asked... What should I do?"
Sonya trembled violently as she replied.
"I-I'm sorry, Master. I failed to raise my child properly and disrespected you..."
"Hmm... Sonya? If I forgive you, can I educate Sophia instead?"
Sonya nodded eagerly.
"Y-Yes! Thank you for forgiving my daughter's mistake, Master. Please let Sophia know true happiness like me..."
"But someone has to be punished, right? Pierre, her dad, can take it instead.
Milk cow, do you still love your husband?"
Sonya waved her hands frantically.
"N-No! I've forgotten that worthless trash long ago! Dispose of him as you please, Master!"
'Hahaha, perfect. You're done for, Pierre.'
"Then, taking his shares isn't enough to cover your daughter's sins.
Sonya. Whether Pierre actually did wrong or not, make a situation where he's completely expelled from the Tolly Family's protection.
Do that, and I'll forgive Sophia—and keep you as my livestock by my side."
Sonya blushed deeply.
"Y-Yes, Master. I'm your lewd milk cow. I'll definitely find a way."
Hearing her vow, I turned to Emma.
"Emma. After Ella's lesson tomorrow, help out at the general store, then bring Sonya and Sophia to the annex in the evening."
"Yes, Master."
[Evening, Pierre's House Dining Room]
"Hahaha, Sophia! You should've called ahead if you were coming today. I would've thrown a grand welcome-back party."
Pierre laughed heartily at Sophia.
Sonya chimed in with a light smile.
"Really... If you'd told us ahead, I could've made something even tastier. So mean, daughter~"
Sophia felt a painful disconnect—Sonya was back to the mom she knew from just hours ago.
'Ugh... I have to protect her. So Mom can go back to normal...'
Pierre noticed Sophia's gloomy expression and stopped laughing, asking worriedly.
"Sophia, what's wrong? Was the exam process too tough?
It's okay. No matter the result, you're our pride and joy."
'I... I have to sacrifice myself! Only I can protect Mom and Dad.'
Sophia forced a smile and spoke to the concerned Pierre.
"No... Actually, I have to go back to the exam hall tomorrow evening.
Since I'm from commoner stock, they need extra verification...
I barely had time for this, but I wanted to tell you face-to-face..."
Pierre's face twisted at Sophia's words.
"Extra verification? After confirming Lord Ruan's guarantee? Those bastards dare treat my daughter like that?"
The wooden dining table shook and cracked slightly from Pierre's trembling fist.
Sonya gently took Pierre's hand, soothing him.
"Dear. Hear Sophia out a bit more."
Sophia stammered on, flustered by Pierre's intense reaction.
"Ah! Dad, it's not bad. Passing the academy entrance exam means that much...
The examiner hinted it's to get commoners used to noble culture so they don't feel out of place.
It's called extra verification, but really, it's early enrollment a few months ahead...
There were cases before where commoners with talent entered but couldn't adapt...
So... the teachers made this procedure to fool the higher-ups..."
Pierre's furrowed brow relaxed as he listened, and he burst into laughter.
"Oh, that's what it is? You should've said so from the start. I thought our girl was being discriminated against! Hahaha, I'm so proud of you.
Of course! How could they mistreat the pride of our family, backed by Lord Ruan? Hahaha!"
'Dad, sorry for lying. But I'll protect our family no matter what.'
Sophia spent the evening meal with her parents in their usual warm atmosphere, her resolve to accept Jin's proposal now firm.
