Chapter 49: Consummating with Nora

He returned home at dusk.

Although he had napped on the lawn with Junice at noon, he still lacked sleep.

As a result, when he tried to teach Junice chantless magic that afternoon, he failed several times in a row because he could not focus.

Staring at the stew Daisy brought, he fell into deep thought.

The appetizing stew looked and smelled wonderful, yet Reiner had no appetite.

All he wanted now was a hot bath, a few pages of reading in bed, and then sleep.

“Daisy, is the water hot yet?”

“Everything is ready, Master, you can bathe whenever you like.”

“Then I’ll soak for a bit and go straight to bed, you two take your time and eat.” With that, he walked into the bedroom, grabbed a change of clothes, and slipped into the small washing cubicle.

The moment he lay back in the wooden tub, the fatigue of the day melted away.

After bathing, Reiner went to the kitchen for a piece of dark bread and lay on the bed nibbling it.

He planned to study the grimoire he had acquired today.

Just then, Daisy walked into the room.

Her blue eyes stared fixedly at Reiner.

“What is it? Do you need something?” Reiner closed the book and looked at her in confusion.

Daisy sat on the edge of the bed and asked softly, “Master, do you want me to reheat the stew for you?”

“No, I’ll just chew on some bread tonight and go straight to sleep.”

Immediately afterward, her inner voice drifted into Reiner’s ears.

(Men are all the same… don’t be nervous, it will be over soon.)

???

Several large question marks slowly rose in Reiner’s mind.

What was Daisy trying to do?

While he was still puzzled, Daisy spoke slowly, “Master, allow me to serve you.”

After speaking, she climbed onto the bed, placed her slender fingers on Reiner’s shoulder, and said, “Master, I’ve wanted to tell you this for a long time. You feel special to me… you always make me feel safe.”

Daisy’s eyes were sultry, and her slim waist kept brushing against Reiner’s arm, whether intentionally or not.

Impressive…

No wonder the slavers said cat-type demi-humans were especially popular among nobles.

With skills like that, who could possibly resist?

Just as he thought this, Daisy’s inner voice floated over again.

(If this small sacrifice can give my daughter a secure future, it’s worth it.)

Reiner hurriedly pushed her away.

It seemed she intended to sacrifice herself to win him over…

But she did not know that he and Nora had already made their own agreement.

So Reiner cleared his throat and declared righteously, “Look, I’m not interested in married women. Go get some rest and stop bothering me.”

Compared with this mature woman, Reiner preferred someone his own age like Nora.

“Huh?” Daisy froze for a moment, doubt flashing in her eyes.

She clearly had not expected Reiner to say that.

Even so, she still did not intend to give up.

(Fine, I’m going all in… I don’t believe you can resist. I’m not young anymore, but I’ve still got some looks.)

She placed her hands on the buttons and slowly opened the wool cardigan draped over her shoulders.

Daisy’s skin was fair and lovely, though not as dewy as Nora’s…

At that moment, the door was flung open.

Nora stood in the doorway radiating hostility, steam still rising from her body as though she had just bathed.

Clearly, she had heard every word of their conversation.

Daisy shot her a look.

(Silly girl! What are you doing? Close the door… Mom is helping you here…)

Without changing expression, Nora pointed outside and said, “Mom, go back to your room. I need to talk to Master.”

“But… ” Daisy wanted to argue and stopped.

“Mom, I never dared tell you because I was afraid you’d worry, but I’m already his woman.”

Daisy’s brain crashed for a few seconds.

She lowered her voice and asked, “Already?”

Nora blushed; her wording was a bit imprecise.

“Anyway, it’s almost the same. I’m an adult now, so stop treating me like a child…”

Daisy hesitated for a moment, then asked, “Was it voluntary?”

“Yes…”

Seeing this, Daisy said nothing more and left the bedroom with mixed feelings.

Reiner put the book away; the atmosphere felt a little awkward.

Nora strode to the bedside and said without expression, “Just now, you wavered.”

Reiner replied solemnly, “Don’t slander me. I turned her down very firmly.”

“You’re not allowed to have indecent thoughts about my mother.”

“Stop imagining things. She’s nearly 40; I’m nowhere near that desperate.”

Nora puffed out her cheeks and stayed silent.

(I’ll believe you… for now.)

Nora blew out the candle and slipped nimbly under the covers.

Reiner instinctively pulled her into his arms.

A strange reaction arose quite naturally.

Nora’s skin grew hotter and hotter.

(Mom was right… men only have that one thing on their minds; even Master is no different…)

“Ready to keep your promise?” Reiner nibbled her ear.

Nora nodded shyly.

(Rather than let Master keep longing for it, I might as well give it to him. He treats me well, and I’m tired of wandering… I want a stable home…)

Reiner kneaded her lower belly.

Nora had been with him for more than 2 months, yet she still could not gain weight.

Only a thin layer of fat covered her stomach.

“Try to eat more; you’re still too thin.”

“Mm…”

Then her slightly resentful inner voice drifted into Reiner’s ears.

(So he likes a better figure after all. I’m not Martina… sorry.)

That was not what Reiner was thinking at all.

The two of them each had their own strengths and weaknesses.

Martina might look more voluptuous, but she was a mighty warrior and surely carried plenty of muscle; she could never be as soft as Nora.

Thinking that, Reiner used Appraisal on her again.

[Appraisal complete. Current slave quality: Epic.]

Epic?

A smile curved at Reiner’s lips.

With a thought, all the catgirl’s information unfolded before him.

[Name: Nora Hill

Age: 18

Sex: Female

Race: Cat-type demi-human

Current status: Healthy, deeply in love

Measurements: 71/47/76]

So there had been some changes after all.

But because she always wrapped herself in cloth, you could hardly tell from her appearance.

Thinking that, Reiner could hardly hold back.

Nora whispered a refusal, “Not yet… Martina and my mom are still awake. Wait a little longer.”

He did not know how much time passed before he suddenly heard Martina snoring.

They must both have fallen asleep.

Reiner finally lost his patience and initiated the game, “Now we can, right?”

“Yes.”

Reiner embraced her, and the two became entwined…

A light rain began to fall outside the window.

A chilly wind seeped through the window crack and into the room.

Nora panted heavily, clinging to Reiner’s arm as her sharp nails slowly dug into his skin…
