Week One:
Awakening, Saito attempted to ease himself out of bed. But as he slowly sat up, two tanned arms encircled his chest and pulled him back onto the bed. "Where do you think you are going?" Kirche asked as she held tightly to him and he could feel her incredible naked breasts press into his bare back. Which caused him to loose all resistance.
"I need...I have to get down to the Main Grounds. My Training Duties for the Ordine." Saito stammered out unable to fully concentrate as he continued to feel Kirche's naked body pressing against him. He closed his eyes and forced himself not to feel what he was feeling. "I also have to report to Louise...See if there is any Familiar duties I need to accomplish." That had been the agreement made and so far Louise was keeping to it. Though she still complained about him not doing her Laundry anymore. Along with the fact that either Kirche, Tabitha or Siesta was there when she did have contact with Saito.
"How is she handling the new situation?" Kirche asked, since she had been unable to get more then a grumbled good morning from Louise for the past week. Saito smiled.
"Well enough." Saito replied not mentioning the other day when Louise almost lost it and was about to hit him with her Spell. But then noticed Tabitha poised to stop her or if she had succeeded. Seek retribution. "She does not like it...But I think when Henrietta talked to her a couple of days ago...She now fully understands that she cannot punish me anymore." He looked back at Kirche and smiled. "I do not know if I have said it enough...But thank you. You and Tabitha...I love you both so much." He said and Kirche smiled seductively at him. Then pushed him onto the bed and slipped on top of him.
"I love you too and...And you are going to be seriously late today...Because..." Kirche leaned down and kissed him. "You are not leaving...Not until after." With that she initiated another time of Marital Relations.
Staggering some, Saito walked wearily onto where the Ordine Knights were conducting Sword Training. Kirche had told the truth. He was seriously late today and as he approached the other Knights. He noticed that all of them were looking at him oddly. "Ah it is about time you arrived." Guiche said with a huge smile. Fully knowing why the Co-Captain was late. None of them protested that not since he had returned from Germania, he had not once been on time for their Daily Training. All knowing the reason why. A good portion of them snickered and Saito glared at them. With training over, he began to walk towards Louise's Dormitory. Then without warning someone pulled him into a Closet and kissed him passionately. She then kissed her way along his jawline up to his right ear. He had guessed who it was the second he felt her body pressed against him.
"Master...I need...I need you so badly." Siesta whispered huskily into his ear, thrusting herself against him. She moved both of her hands off from around his shoulders and down to his pants. Unhooking the button with her right hand and unzipping his pants with her left. He hiked up her skirt and pulled aside her panties. In seconds she was moaning lightly as they had sex within the confines of the small closet. When both were thoroughly satisfied. They readjusted their clothes and sneaked out of the Closet. "Thank you Master...Can we do this again later?" She asked him with a glint in her eye. Saito smiled and nodded. Then continued on towards Louise's Dormitory, arriving just as she was about to leave for Classes.
"Why do you even bother coming here?" Louise asked with a lot of disdain. She did not even look at him as she asked and Saito smiled at her.
"I promised that I would protect you didn't I? I swore to keep you safe as your Familiar. I still care about you. The only thing is...Kirche, Tabitha, Siesta and the others all are right. That you punishing me the way you were doing had to stop." Saito replied and Louise closed her eyes. Then sullenly nodded. Saito knew why Louise punished him the way she did. It came down to her being considered an inept Mage. Even now everyone that did not know about her being able to use Void Magic considered her to still be inept. It also had to be humiliating to her to have a Human as her Familiar. So she took out her frustrations out on him.
"I do not need you today." Louise said and then walked away. Though she did feel somewhat better then she had been. Saito watched her leave and decided today would be a good day to just take it easy. That and he knew he needed to take a bath. Which he would do later in the Men's Bath. Especially since he had received a Summons from Henrietta stating that she wanted to see him that afternoon. He was looking forward to that. But not having to ride a horse to and from the Royal Palace. He still did not like riding on something that did not have a Gas Pedal or more importantly. Brakes. He considered asking his First Wife Tabitha to take him. But she had to attend her Classes today. So that left him going by Horseback.
Grudgingly mounting the Horse. "Whoa there Boy." Saito muttered as the Horse began to move about. Guiche and Momorency both chuckled as they watched from the side.
"Here you are a Chevalier and you can barely ride a horse." Momorency said giggling as Saito tried to get his balance on the Horse. He scowled at her and then smiled.
"We don't ride these things where I am from as much as they do here." Again Saito was tempted to ask Tabitha to take him to the Capital. Kirche came out of the nearby Building and upon seeing her Husband trying to actually get on the Horse made her giggle as well. She stepped up and lightly began to caress the Horse's head. Calming it.
"You be careful there Darling. How about I give you a little pointer on Horses. The main thing is you cannot be scared of the Horse." Kirche said smiling up at him and Saito frowned down at her.
"I will be fine as soon as...I can..." With that Saito almost fell off and then dismounted. "Screw it...I will walk." He stated and Kirche shook her head.
"It will take you two days to walk there...Why not wait until Tabitha is done with her Test and she will take you to see the Queen. It would be quicker and...a lot safer for you." Kirche said and Saito exhaled with a deep sigh of resignation. Deciding that she might be right. "At some point though Darling...You got to learn how to ride a Horse." She added with a huge smile and both Guiche and Momorency laughed.
With his arms around Tabitha, he gave her a gentle squeeze and then kissed the back of her neck. She shivered slightly and then blushed. "Hmmm...You like that?" Saito asked her and she melted back against him.
"Yes...But...You keep doing that and...I may have to have Sylphid land somewhere secluded." Tabitha said softly feeling the urges within her rise. He smiled and kissed her neck again and she moaned. "Stop that...Oh...That feels so..." She leaned her head back as he continued to kiss her neck up to her ear. "Land...Sylphid...There and hurry." She said quickly gesturing towards a small woodlot next to a small pond. Way off the beaten path or any roads. Once down, she fully turned herself to face him and kissed him. They both dismounted Sylphid and she sent the Nature Dragon off to return when summoned. Almost dragging Saito among the trees and once there threw her Cloak and then his onto the ground. Drawing him down onto the Cloaks. Ah hour or so later and able to continue. She summoned Sylphid and they continued their journey to the Royal Palace. Arriving with Agnes waiting outside to escort Saito to meet with the Queen.
"You were expected hours ago...What took you so long?" Agnes asked and Tabitha blushed a deep shade of red.
Meeting with Henrietta privately, Saito held her within his arms as they kissed. Parting a few inches afterwards, she smiled at him. "I missed you." She said softly and Saito smiled back at her. "As much as I would not mind being like this a lot longer...My time is not my own today." He understood. She had sent for him officially under the pretense of wanting a Report on the progress of the Ordine Knights. But in truth she just wanted to see him again. Hold him in her arms and have him kiss her. Even if it was only for a few hours at most. Until she could elevate him that is all she could have with him. Near dusk she watched from the Window of her room as he left with Tabitha to go back to the Academy.
Elevation:
Fortunately and unfortunately due to the Madness of Joseph King of Gallia. When the whole disastrous situation was over and Joseph's threat was all over. She had the opportunity to elevate Saito into becoming the Lord of his own Domain. Another step forward. Still it was not enough. "We do have another problem." She said as she looked over at Tabitha. Better known now as Charlotte rightful Princess of Gallia. The blue haired girl winced slightly and nodded.
"Yes...My Mother has suggested that I become the Queen of Gallia." Tabitha said and gave Saito's hand that she held under the table a gentle squeeze. She then smiled. "Thankfully due to my...Husband's being considered a Hero by deposing my Mad Uncle. The People and Nobles of Gallia all see him as a Savior and not...The Executioner of the King." She noticed as Saito squirmed and fidgeted slightly. "Well that is what my Mother told me. So I and my Mother do not see a problem with me being Married to him."
"Couldn't you use that Henrietta? With him being Married to Tabitha who is going to be the Queen of Gallia. Couldn't you use that to...Maybe become involved with him." Kirche suggested and they all looked over at her. "Claim it this way...If the Nobles and People of Gallia do not see a problem with their Queen or rather their future Queen being married to him. The Hero of Romalia and of course Tristain. Perhaps suggest to the Nobles that would oppose this that it would be beneficial for you to also be Married to that Hero...To Saito so that he cannot be used politically against Tristain by the Nobles of Gallia." She added and Henrietta smiled.
"That might actually work. I will inquire subtly their views and opinions of this." Henrietta said and then handed Saito the Documents that awarded him his Domain. "Now I have some...I do not know if it is bad news or...No I cannot say good news." She had no idea how Saito, Kirche or Tabitha would take what she had to tell them.
"Uh Oh...I get the feeling I am not going to like this." Saito said and both Tabitha and Kirche had the same feeling. Henrietta could tell from their expressions.
"When you take possession of your Mansion and Domain...I think it might be prudent that...Louise move there as well." Henrietta said and Saito sighed with relief.
"Here I thought it was going to be something extremely bad. It is alright Henrietta...Me and Louise have come to an understanding. It has improved after I saved her from that Maniac." Saito told her and now Henrietta felt relieved as well. She hated the idea of being the middle person between her best friend and the Man she had fallen in love with. Eventually she did know her Childhood friend would discover that she was involved with Saito and planned on Marrying him.
"Good. I was a little concerned." Henrietta then asked Tabitha and Kirche if she could have a few minutes alone with Saito and as soon as the two left. She almost tackled Saito. Needing and desiring some affection.
De Ornielle: And there is another Mistress
"What a dump." Louise said with a scowl appraising the Mansion and the lands that Saito was now Lord of. As he also looked about, he had to silently agree. Though later as he explored the Mansion while the others settled into their rooms. He discovered the Secret Concubine Room in the Basement and more importantly the Magic Mirror that would allow Henrietta to visit whenever she wanted to. Then later another aspect arisen that made pleased him. With the discovery of a Hotspring. Which allowed him to throw a Party to celebrate his elevation to becoming the Lord of his own Domain.
An hour before the Party and after all the Guests had arrived. Including Henrietta. Saito was walking down the Hallway that led from the upper Floors to the stairwell. Without warning, someone grabbed him and pulled him into the Guest Room. At first he believed it was Kirche, Tabitha or Siesta wanting to be a little affectionate before the Party started. It surprised him to find out it was Tiffania. Holding him tightly within her arms over his shoulders and partially around the back of his neck, she kissed him passionately. Parting she was breathing hard. "I...Can I...I want to be with you too Saito. Please can I be with you?" She asked him and he smiled.
"We will have to ask Kirche and Tabitha if it will be alright...But I cannot Marry you...I am sorry. I wish I could tell you why...But I just can't" Saito said to her. Thinking about the Polygamy Law that Henrietta had reenacted a few weeks ago. It only allowed for one person to be Married to a Maximum of three others. No more then that. So if he was going to Marry Henrietta. He could not Marry Tiffania or anyone else. Tiffania smiled and then leaned closer to him.
"That will be alright. I will be anything you want me to be...Including a Mistress as long as I can be with you." Tiffania told him. With that she kissed him again and if it was not for the Party. He suspected that she would want to do more then just kiss him. After several moments more, they both left to ask Kirche and Tabitha. Also afterwards, Siesta. Believing it would not be right to include Siesta in the decision. Later alone with Henrietta he sought her approval. Which she gave without hesitation.
With the Party over, Louise sat in her Bedroom alone. She felt envious of Both Tabitha and Kirche. Wondering if things would have been different if she had not been so abusive with Saito. If she had not let herself vent her anger and frustration out upon him. She had noticed how happy he, Kirche and Tabitha were. How happy Siesta was being his Mistress. With a frown, she exhaled sharply. She had just learned that Tiffania was now also one of his Mistresses. "What did I do to deserve this? Oh that is right. I was a vindictive bitch that beat and abused someone that loved me and doing that pushed him away from me." She said to herself and with another deep resigned sigh. She laid down on her bed and tried to get some sleep.
Stepping through the Mirror, she was greeted by Saito and Henrietta threw herself onto him. As she kissed him she kept eyeing the nearby bed, extremely tempted to just forget protocol and her Chasity. Forget that if discovered it would severely threaten her overall plan to elevate Saito to a point where she could Marry him finally. Especially since she had discovered from her subtle inquiries that a minor number of the Higher Nobles still would oppose her from seeking him as her Consort. She needed more support from them before she could achieve her goal. Which meant she had to be patient. Which was becoming hard for her to be. Especially right now as she kissed him and felt not only his body pressed against her. But something else that was making her more and more aroused. She parted and slowly calmed herself. "We...We need to stop...Before I...We need to stop Saito before I...Cannot stop myself." She whispered to him and she could tell that he understood. He regretfully moved back some from her and she felt her arousal subside enough that she did not have the urge to just make love to him and not worry about the consequences.
"Sorry...It is just...I want to be with you and I want to Marry you so we can be together forever." Saito said and Henrietta once more was tempted.
"I want that too...So badly. But we have to...Wait. Just a bit longer and then we can." Henrietta knew she could just forget about Marriage and take Saito as a Lover. Most Nobles did that and Royalty was no exception. She had discovered her Grandfather had a Mistress and after that she discovered that her Grandmother had her own Lover that was not her Grandfather. What she found interesting was that a lot of the Nobles knew about her Grandfather and Grandmother and did not even protest. "No. I want to be married to him...Not have him as nothing more then a Lover and where I would be forced or convinced to Marry someone else. That the Nobles and my Mother believe is suitable." She said to herself and reaffirmed her resolve to continue to find a way so that she could Marry the Man she was in love with.
"I take it that you found out that the Nobles did not agree with what Kirche suggested?" Saito asked her and Henrietta shook her head. Then scowled.
"Those idiots cannot get off the fact that you are considered a Commoner. Though I do have some...Well somewhat good news. That is not the sentiment that the People have towards you. In fact from what Agnes has discovered...Most of the People of Tristain see you as a True Hero." Henrietta told him and then smiled. "I believe in a short matter of time...That could Sway even the most stubborn Noble that would oppose me taking you as my Consort." He smiled and she glanced over at the Clock on the End Table. She sighed with a deep sigh. "I need to return soon...Otherwise it might be discovered that I am not in my Bedroom." She, Saito and the others all worried about that. As did Agnes who would attempt to keep anyone from finding out anyway possible. But there was only so much the Captain of her Bodyguards could do. If her Mother went to see her in her Bedroom. Agnes could not stop her Mother from just walking right in. Then everything would come crashing down upon her. She kissed Saito one more time and after a few moments returned to her Bedroom via the Magic Mirror.
Since Tabitha was in Gallia officially announcing that she would become the Queen and Kirche going with her. He was able to spend the night with Tiffania. This would be their first opportunity to do so and both were seriously nervous. As he entered her Bedroom, all nervousness vanished when he saw her standing in the middle of the room completely naked. Waiting for him to spend the night with her. As for Her nervousness it vanished right after he kissed her. For she had wanted this type of relationship with him from the moment she had met him and got to know him. He discovered something interesting that night. If he blew or licked Tiffa's ears. It almost sent her into a frenzy. A frenzy that lasted most of the night and by the time she was satisfied. Both basically passed out from exhaustion.
With Tabitha and Kirche in Gallia. That left only Tiffa, Siesta and Louise at home with him. Though for some reason Guiche, Reynard and Malicorne had remained a day after the Party and he suspected that due to their shenanigans during the Party they were not in a too much of a rush to return to the Academy. So with the three there, Henrietta could not risk coming for a visit. Saito did spend time with Tiffa and Siesta, but all in all without his Wives at home, he felt lonely. The only benefit was that it did give him a chance to think about what favor he was going to ask the Water Spirit. That had been the reward the Spirit had promised him when he returned her Ring. She would grant him any favor he so desired. All he had to do was go to any body of Water and summon her and she would come to grant him that favor. Not that he wanted to waste it. Though at one point he considered asking the Spirit to increase the Hotspring larger. He also considered having the Spirit create a Lake. He had found the perfect spot for a Lake to be. It was dry and not suitable for any type of Crops. While he sat in the Library thinking about it, he barely missed it when Louise entered. "Can we...Can we talk?" She asked him and he smiled.
"Sure Louise...Come join me." Saito said standing briefly and indicating another Chair. He sat back down when she did. "So is this a Master wanting to talk to her Familiar? Or is it Lady Louise Françoise Le Blanc de La Vallière wanting to talk to Saito Chevalier De Hiraga De Ornielle? Or lastly is it you wanting to just talk to me?" Je asked her and she chuckled.
"The last one." Louise told him and Saito nodded. She stopped smiling and took a small deep breath. "Is there something going on between you and...and the Queen? With Henrietta?" He paled slightly and wondered how he should answer that. He knew Henrietta wanted to tell her Childhood friend when the time was right. Before he could consider how to answer that. "I already know that she likes you a lot. I could tell by the way you two were looking at each other at the Party." She told him and he hoped he did not look as guilty as he felt at that moment. Thankfully before he could answer or was forced to answer. He spotted three individuals within the nearby trees. They were attempting to stay concealed but he had noticed them plainly.
"Hey who was that?" Saito asked and made a beeline towards the front of his house. He barely got down the steps when all hell broke loose. Three of the Element Siblings attacked him. When they did, Guiche, Reynard and Malicorne came out to assist him. During the fight, he lost sight of the three other intruders and when the fourth Sibling arrived. Everything seemed to go from bad to worse when he discovered that the three other intruders were Elves and they had come to kidnap Tiffa.
The Oasis:
Awakening, Saito felt someone partially on top of him and from what he could feel pressing against his chest. He knew exactly who it was. He had his left arm around her and she seemed to be still sleeping comfortably and soundly. Opening his eyes he made sure and then felt somewhat relieved it was her after all. As he looked around the room. His relief turned into a sudden lapse of panic. This was not one of his Rooms at the Mansion and when a female Elf walked in stark naked. He suspected he was in some serious trouble. He then learned her name was Luctiana and that he and Tiffa had been kidnapped.
To be continued:
