Chapter 6:
"…We're really sorry, please forgive us"
Saito and Louise apologized about spying on her… it was not fair, if they did it like that it made it way too hard to get mad at them. Eléonore grabbed their cheeks without any force and pulled them, letting them go before reaching the stretching point.
"It's ok, I know you did it because you were worried about me, so I won't get mad at you"
To be honest they did it because they were curious… but who were them to correct her.
"However… don't EVER do something like that again… Understood"
"Yes ma'am." Both Saito and Louise said in unison, apologizing to her was the scariest thing either of them had ever done, but everything worked out in the end so it was all good.
They were all having breakfast right now, Eléonore had just informed her parents about her decision and they were both happily discussing the details, meanwhile Saito and Louise were doing their little show, only Cattleya remained silent and Eléonore noticed her smile carried a little sadness (just like Cattleya could read her frowns, Eléonore could read her smiles, it was a sisters thing), she tried to ask her what was wrong but her parents kept hogging her attention, asking questions about the wedding.
When breakfast was done, the group prepared to leave, both Saito and Louise's dad would go on their own to have a little talk, whereas Karin, Eléonore and Louise would go and perform the ritual, only Cattleya remained which made the two other sisters uncomfortable, however she refused their invitation to join them, insisting she'd do it when it was appropriated for her, so both groups went to their destination, leaving her behind who couldn't help but feeling sad… and maybe a little jealous.
After performing the ritual (which consisted on paying tribute to their ancestors by praying on the graveyard and bathing on a nearby spring), Karin was leading her daughters towards an seemingly hidden building inside the Vallière state, from the outside it looked like an abandoned house, on the inside however was… a classroom with nothing on it other than a desk, a few chairs and a blackboard with some chalk, the place was perfectly clean thou, Karin probably asked the maids to prepare it in advance.
Both Louise and Eléonore took a seat in front of the blackboard, while Karin seated behind the desk and in front of her daughters.
"I'm pretty sure you are curious about why are going to do here, the truth is I'm going to give you girls a little lecture…"
"A lecture? What kind of lecture"
Both were curious, what could their mother possibly want to teach them.
"Don't interrupt me dear, you see, I know that right now you are both really nervous about your wedding night…"
Ah… great… they were going to have 'that' lecture.
"I also know that although one of you have been doing naughty things with her boyfriend at night, you purity is still intact in the two most important places"
Louise blushed so badly it almost looked like she was in pain… seriously how come her mother knew everything.
"That's because I can read minds dear, anyway I'll be teaching you some tips and techniques that women from our family had been gathering for generations… now don't worry, you won't be doing anything practical, we'll leave that to your respective husbands in your wedding night, so sit back and pay attention as you must memorize everything I say…"
Several hours later…
"…And remember to never use any of the things you learned today regularly, you can have favorites and least favorites but you must never, ever fall into a routine, if that were to happen it could be disastrous for your relationship"
Both sisters were in shock and remained quiet as Karin was erasing the blackboard, they just couldn't believe what they just witnessed, I mean the whole thing was so surreal… had their parents really done all those things?.
"Yes we did dear… even now we still do most of them" Karin said with a little blush on her face.
Ok… That was definitely way too much information… Wait, was she not kidding with being a mind reader?
"Anyway, I hope you had memorize everything, because once I leave this classroom, I will never talk about this matter ever again, I'll even deny that this entire lecture took place"
"Don't worry I couldn't forget anything even if I tried" Both sister said together, the trauma was just too great.
"Meh.. Don't lie, I know one of you can't wait to put this knowledge into practice, while the other one is wondering if she can bend herself like the most demanding positions require her to do"
Ok… Stop the mind reading thing already, seriously both girls would never be able to look at her mother the same way as before.
"You'll both thank me soon enough… another thing, stop worrying about the size of your breasts. Eléonore, you have enough to do everything we just covered without problems, and Louise… look… I know you think they won't grow anymore, but women from our family had always developed really late, your sisters are just the exception to the rule… you know I used to have even less than you when I was your age… "
"I know that… but mother that was you, how about if… I'm different?"
Karin sighted.
"Ok… I'll give you a secret technique I used back then, I guarantee he'll go crazy with it... come here"
Louise went near her mother and she whispered something in her ear, for being a secret technique, explanations were over in less than a few minutes.
"And remember, don't use it to suddenly, he may die from the shock if you do"
"How come she gets a secret technique?" Eléonore complained.
"Dear, if you ever did what I just taught you sister… well that just wouldn't be right"
Eléonore decided it was best to leave it at that and accept her mother explanation, after all she just wanted to leave that place for good.
"Oh... and one last thing, don't be satisfied with just the things I taught you today, experiment a lot and find new knowledge that can be passed on to the new generations… you know your father and I invented a few of the things you just learned"
Karin was blushing again…Ok… this whole thing just went from extremely uncomfortable to downright creepy.
After that, they left the classroom and as soon as she closed the door, their mother reverted back to her regular self, noticing it was already quite late and that they hadn't eaten lunch yet, she quickly lead the group back to the main house so that they could eat… when they arrived everyone couldn't help but noticed just how pale both Louise and Eléonore looked.
