Chapter Title: Ella's First Lesson: A Subtle Shift in Perception
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Time had flown by before I knew it, and Ella's first lesson was finally here.
Knock knock.
Emma led Ella into the annex.
Ella had her red hair tied back in a ponytail, wearing gray wide-leg sweatpants and a black hoodie zip-up. Despite the baggy outfit, her massive breasts asserted their presence, catching my eye first and foremost.
"Welcome. I'm Jin, the one who'll be handling your lessons from today onward, Lady Ella."
I bowed my head in greeting, and Ella waved her hand dismissively, speaking in a soft voice.
"Ah... no need for formalities. Please, just talk comfortably. You're my teacher from now on, so status doesn't matter..."
'She takes after her mother's temperament more than Ruan's.'
"Got it. Then I'll drop the formal speech. Want to follow me this way?"
"Yes..."
As I led Ella to the tutoring room, I whispered into Emma's ear.
"Switch to the anal beads and prepare some refreshments for the tutoring room."
Emma nodded slightly and headed to the kitchen.
We sat facing each other at the tutoring room table, and I stared at Ella in silence for a moment. She kept her head down, perfectly still.
"Ella, no need to be so tense. Emma will bring tea and dessert soon, so let's relax with those."
Ella glanced up at me briefly before replying in her small voice.
"Okay..."
Whether she was naturally timid or her failed mana awakening had crushed her self-esteem, Ella seemed incredibly withdrawn.
Knock knock.
The door opened, and Emma waddled in, the beads undoubtedly stimulating her rear. She set down a tray with lavender tea-filled cups and brownies on the table, enduring the sensations as best she could.
Ella, with her gaze fixed downward on the table, didn't seem to notice Emma's unnatural movements.
"Ella, sip your tea and let me know when you're ready. No rush."
Ella savored a bite-sized piece of brownie before bringing the lavender tea to her lips. After a sip, she exclaimed in a surprisingly loud voice I'd never heard from her before.
"Wow... what kind of tea is this? It tastes like lavender, but there's this sweet aftertaste—it's so good!
Ah... was I too loud?"
'Her reaction to the taste means my ability is working well. A solid start.'
"There's plenty more tea and dessert, so eat as much as you like. If you want, I can pack some up for you after the lesson."
Ella kept marveling at the flavors, draining her cup. With a more relaxed expression than before, she began to speak.
"Um... Teacher, I think I'm ready..."
"Looks like you've loosened up a bit. Before we dive in, I need to assess your current state accurately, so let's start with a diagnosis.
Why don't you lie back on that lounge chair over there, facing the ceiling? Take off the hoodie for now."
Ella removed her hoodie and naturally handed it to Emma standing nearby.
As Emma bent to take it, she wobbled momentarily from the anal beads' stimulation.
Ella asked Emma in a concerned voice.
"Huh...? Emma, are you okay? You seemed fine when we came to the annex together."
"Yes, my lady. I'm fine."
I stood and placed a hand on Emma's shoulder.
"Looks like fatigue's built up. Rest in that chair while I diagnose Ella."
"Thank you for your consideration, Master Jin."
Emma sat in the chair I'd just vacated, pressing her thighs together with both hands as the beads tormented her further, head bowed.
Ella glanced worriedly at Emma before heading to the lounge chair and lying straight on her back, staring at the ceiling.
Under the oversized black hoodie, Ella wore a fitted white t-shirt that hugged her perfectly. Lying rigidly on the chair, her large, firm breasts tapering to a slender waist looked incredibly sexy.
'Ha... soon enough, I'll be able to handle that delicious body however I want. But not today.'
I paused, gazing at the reclining Ella, then spoke carefully.
"Ella, to accurately check your internal mana state, I need to place my hand on your lower abdomen. Is that alright?
It feels a bit off for a commoner like me to touch a noble lady directly."
Thanks to the diffuser's scent and the mana-infused refreshments already altering her perception, Ella showed no suspicion. Instead, she agreed eagerly.
"Teacher... right now, I'm not a noble—just your student. I'll follow whatever's needed for the lesson."
With that, she tugged her sweatpants down to her hip bones.
With her permission, I slipped my hand into her sweatpants, placing it on her lower abdomen and channeling mana.
She hadn't expected my hand to go that far inside despite pulling them down a bit, so Ella flinched briefly and seemed about to speak, but as my mana flowed into her, she turned her gaze to the ceiling and stayed still.
'Just as I thought—not a lack of mana preventing awakening...
Of course. It wouldn't make sense for imperial nobility to have low mana reserves.'
I used my magic to gently push and move the stagnant mana inside her, drawing a moan from Ella's lips.
Ah... ahn.
Startled by her own sound, Ella covered her mouth with both hands.
"No need to be surprised, Ella. It's your first time feeling mana move inside you, so it might feel a little uncomfortable.
Perfectly natural—just focus on the mana flow without worrying."
"Yes... ha-up, ha-ung..."
'Unlike Adelin, Ella can't control her own mana, so I can be a bit bolder.'
I stirred her insides with my mana, eroding her rigid mana.
"Good news, Ella. Your mana awakening failed not because of insufficient mana.
On the contrary, born with overflowing mana befitting noble blood, it's simply hard for you to find the starting point on your own."
Ella looked at me, puzzled by my words.
"To put it simply, your exceptionally large mana pool has solidified for some reason, preventing circulation even after adulthood—and thus, awakening.
But practice the sensation you're feeling now, and soon you'll circulate the stagnant mana and awaken it."
Emboldened by hope, Ella sat up, grabbing my arm.
"Yes! Teacher, I'll... I'll work hard."
"Then, to get you used to the feeling of mana circulating inside, I'll leave my mana in you until the next lesson, looping it along the circulation path. Practice focusing on the movement during your daily life."
'The real goal is mixing my mana with hers all day, stimulating her erogenous zones to drive her into heat.'
"You'll need some familiarity with the flow for next time, so that's it for today.
Let's do formal lessons three times a week, every other day. Contact me anytime on off days if needed."
"Yes, teacher. Thank you so much! I was so scared I was defective... ugh."
Relieved by the hope, Ella teared up a little. I patted her shoulder reassuringly.
"Everything from today's lesson stays secret, even from family. Soon, you'll awaken your mana and make them proud."
It might sound odd to keep it from family, but with her perception already shifting toward trusting me, Ella nodded understandingly.
"Ella, wait in the living room a moment? I'll tidy up, and Emma will escort you back to the main house."
"Yes, teacher!"
Her reply brimmed with newfound confidence as she left the room. I approached Emma, grabbed her by the hair, and yanked her up.
Ughhh...
"Couldn't hold it in and let it show in front of Ella?"
"S-sorry... Master..."
Sweat beaded on Emma's forehead as she replied.
"Your punishment, Emma. Keep the anal beads in even when escorting Ella back. Do it right this time without showing."
"Hng... y-yes..."
Pressing the beads with her hand, Emma followed me to the living room, where Ella sat on the fabric sofa.
"See you in two days, Ella. Practice focusing on the mana flow, okay?"
Ella slipped on the hoodie Emma offered and bowed her head.
"Yes! See you next lesson, teacher. Thank you so much today."
"Oh, one sec—Emma, pack the diffuser and leftover refreshments for Ella."
Ella bowed again in gratitude.
"Thank you! I'll enjoy them, teacher."
As Emma led Ella out of the annex, I leaned back on the sofa, hands behind my head, lost in thought.
'What if I fully erode Ella's mana and replace it with mine?
For mana-poor commoners, flooding them with mine leads to hypnosis-level obedience...
Wonder if it'd work the same. If so, I could enslave mana-wielding nobles just like commoners. Hmm...
Thinking about the progress with Adelin and Ella, it seems possible...
Ha... can't wait to see mother and daughter crawling on the floor, begging for my cock.'
[Midnight in Ella's Room]
The room was filled with cream-colored wallpaper and ceiling accented by pink decorations everywhere.
Pink stuffed animals, scented candles, glass beads, and other trinkets dotted the space, with a plush pink rug on the floor.
The desk and drawers were classic white wooden furniture, harmonizing with the pink accents. The scent from the diffuser Jin had given her permeated the air.
Dominating the room was a massive, luxurious bed covering one entire wall.
Ornately carved pillars stood at its four corners, draped with translucent fabric cascading from above, enclosing the bed between them.
Inside that bed, beneath pristine white covers, something squirmed.
It was Ella. Curled on her side, she rubbed the crotch of her pajamas with her hand.
'Haa... ha-ung, why am I like this...? It's so itchy, I can't stand it.'
Her body growing hotter, Ella stripped off her nightdress and spread her legs, slipping a hand into her white panties.
'Ha-ung... inside is so itchy. Ha-up, ha-ung.'
She scratched at her pussy entrance through her panties while her other hand delved into her bra, cupping the underside of her breasts and pinching her unusually hardened pink nipples.
'Ha-ut, my body... it's so hot... ahn.'
Ella flung the covers off the bed and stripped naked, burying her face in the pillow as she got on all fours, fingering her pussy and nipples.
'Ha-eup, ha-ut... this isn't it... it's so itchy and hot, but... it won't reach, ha-ung!'
Moaning nonstop, she thrust fingers into her pussy, but it only heightened her frustration without release.
Switching to lie flat on her back, legs spread wide, she arched her hips, desperately shoving harder.
'Ha-up! Ha-ut... why, ha-ung? It's not enough... inside itches so much, but it won't reach. Ah-hut, haa... haa...'
No matter how she masturbated, her heat wouldn't subside, frustration mounting.
This was because, at night, Jin's mana inside her relentlessly teased her erogenous zones without letting her climax, tormenting her.
The motion continued all night, stopping only near dawn.
Exhausted, Ella finally closed her weary eyes and fell asleep.
'Why... was it like this... haa... zzz.'
The bedsheets around her sleeping form were soaked from the sweat she'd shed all night.
