My Servant System

Chapter 602 601: Making Some Rounds

?

Clenching the four earrings in my hand, I made my way through the halls of the Palace and returned to our room first, looking around and asking Mother if anyone had come back yet, only to get a shake of the head as she looked back at me from where she was standing, which was over a kneeling Bessie.

I stared blankly at the scene for a few seconds before leaving it behind, not involving myself in it and ignoring the sight of the Cowkin pleading at me with watery eyes, the curvaceous woman trying her hardest to find a lifeline away from Mother, but...

Well, if you're already having a hard time with Mother, why would I try and place myself in the middle of you two?!

So I fled, leaving the woman to her fate and venturing through the halls again, this time making my way towards the Training Grounds to search for the Marquess and Jahi, deciding I would spend the day watching them and perhaps joining in as well, but only if need be; I was content to take the backseat today and just relax, putting my energy towards thinking over some of the 'problems' I had instead of pushing my body's limits.

Not that that would be a waste of energy, but I was immensely curious to mull over the issue of making Lust Mana inside of myself, as well as developing a few new spells to add to my repertoire for the future, so I planned on just sitting back and thinking things over.

On my way there I once again ran into another situation, making me sigh quietly as I hugged the wall to avoid being seen and interrupting another interaction, lest I be drawn in for one reason or another.

Nirinia was leaning against the wall and smirking as she talked to Princi and another of the Knights, the three of them clearly treading a fine line between flirting and outright talking dirty to one another.

The Catkin woman was smirking back at Nirinia as she joked with the younger Djinn, while the third woman and second Knight - a tall, thin Birdkin of some kind - was blushing softly while looking between the two, though she still joined in and made both Nirinia and Princi chuckle with whatever she was saying.

Rolling my eyes at how they occupied a main hallway for something like this, I observed them for a moment more before freezing, a small smile on my lips as I noticed that someone else was doing the same as me; a Lioness who I hadn't seen in quite some time.

Adelina was watching from afar on the other side of the hall as me, peeking around the corner and staring at the three women with narrowed eyes, her fingers gripping the marble wall tightly enough that I worried she might fracture it with her strength.

Seeing her, I let out another small sigh before glancing around myself, finding a new route through the Palace and deciding to throw the Lioness a bone... though whether or not she took it was an entirely different question.

Silently making my way over to her, I grabbed the lithe woman's arm and dragged her away, glaring at her as she tried to yank free and creating some distance between us and them as I made my way to the next intersection, where I let her go.

"Commander Leonisa... No, Adelina. Woman to woman, I would like to give some advice, especially for dealing with someone as thick headed and hard to control like Nirinia. If you want her to pine after you, you're mistaken. If you want to be courted like a Noblewoman, you're looking at the wrong woman for it. You've made your previous choices crystal clear to her, and she is respecting them. If you have changed your mind, you need to inform her of such and be the one to initiate any form of communication.

She will NOT be coming after you anytime soon, because you've made it clear that you don't want her to. Now if you truly don't want her to try and kindle something between the two of you, stop hurting yourself by watching as she lives her life. She is stressed, and one of the premiere ways to deal with stress as a single person is to go and have sex. Nirinia is a stunning, intriguing futanari who has a track record for being good in bed, meaning her partners are limitless. Either you try to rein her in and acquiesce to some of her demands - because she did try her hardest to meet you in the middle - or you give up and stop pining after her like some schoolgirl.

Grow up, mature, and make a damn choice. Please, for all of us, make a damn choice. Nirinia is too much of an asset for us with the Fiends on the rise to have her muddled down because of your petulant mind games. Cut things off entirely, make your stance clear if you're neutral, or tell her that you want to try it again. But make up your mind, please."

The entire time I spoke, Adelina tried to interrupt me, only to fall silent and glare at me as I said my piece before looking towards the area that Nirinia had last been, her golden eyes complicated.

Seeing that, I muttered a goodbye before walking away, leaving her to her thoughts and letting out another sigh as I wondered if I went too far, or if I had gotten my point across; Nirinia was still coping with what had happened, and it'd be best if this situation between them got resolved one way or the other, since we would need Nirinia to be at her best going forwards.

As we would also need Adelina at her best too, since an excellent Commander of a Legion is hard to come by, and especially one that had a record like hers... even if the one time we experienced her work first hand, I got kidnapped.

I made my way towards Training Grounds again and slipped inside, just in time to wince as I watched Jahi take a fist to the jaw, the Marquess striking hard and fast as the two women boxed, blowing off some steam and practicing unarmed combat at the same time.

But, I winced again as Jahi was hit again, staggering back and barely blocking another jab that came for her nose before she retaliated, swinging and hitting the Marquess' side and earning back some of the advantage she had given up to her Mom.
