After hooking up with Kirche, Sora's academy days turned downright blissful. Days: Griffin drills, bi-day student lessons. Nights: bouncing between Louise and Kirche. Flirty fails with Tabasa, Montmorency; instructor-bullying Qisyu—easy, comfy life.
Two leisurely weeks passed; queen snuck academy-visit.
Louise's room: Sora, Aniyas, Louise greeted Anrietta.
"No stiffness—trusted circle," Anrietta raised them.
"Majesty—what brings?" Aniyas first.
Anrietta shadowed.
"Actually..."
Palace-imprisoned Kolomway assassinated. Guards thick, magics layered—no outsider past square-rank sans inside spy aid.
"Traitor!!" Louise yelped. "Why—Anrietta endangered?"
"Easy, Louise. Queen guarded: Griffins, Unicorns, Chimeras, Personal Guard, Musketeers. Lone spies? No queen-threat," Sora soothed.
"Right—but Kolomway fingertip: blood-drawn lumpy ring mark. Ring meaning?" Queen said, Sora-eyed.
Aniyas, Louise frowned-thought.
Sora faint-smiled: "Ring means this [Water Spirit Ring]."
Sora palmed purple blocky ring.
Trio odd-eyed.
"Sora—this water elf ring?" Louise asked.
"Bold—loot-hoarding, queen-denied," Aniyas barked, Sora-glared.
"Sora—may see?" Anrietta.
"Careful—holds water elf power chunk." Sora ringed her palm.
Anrietta examined close. Nothing special.
"Special? Sora," Anrietta.
"Delph." Sora waist-sword patted.
Delphlink: "Water elf ring mind-controls, water-manips. Humans? 60%+ water. Drained? Dead."
"What! Dangerous—Majesty!" Aniyas ring-slapped Anrietta-palm airborne.
Sora air-caught.
"No panic—hand-worn activates. Dormant."
Aniyas Sora-disliked. Sora shrugged.
"Assassin kills Kolomway; he marks water elf ring. Sender: Albion nobles? Tolistine insiders? Others? Ring terror-power—foe-held? Trouble. Tomorrow: water elf lake—return it," Sora.
Anrietta, Aniyas, Louise pondered deep.
"Fine—water elf ring too risky. Return," Anrietta.
"Majesty? Powerful? Your use?" Aniyas.
"Heh." Sora chuckled. "Try?"
Aniyas Sora-stared.
Sora [Water Elf Ring] middle-fingered left; purple gem gleamed.
Trio palpitated faint.
Sora ringed Aniyas: "Aniyas—maid-act, call [Master]."
"Who'd!!" Aniyas raged—then hands dropped sword-musket, waist-splayed, bowed delicate: "Master~."
Anrietta, Louise stunned.
Sora smug-grinned.
Aniyas froze, blush-fired, trembled.
"I—I kill you—ah!" Aniyas sword-drew furious.
Sora ring-shook threat.
Aniyas blue-red-faced, spot-stuck, advanced not.
"Rare ring-use—more fun." Sora malicious-eyed Anrietta, Louise.
"Sora—no messing?" Louise startled.
"Louise—kitten-please me." Sora ring-smiled ordered.
"Meow? Meow." Louise mewed, Sora-nuzzled face-hand, pink-tongue licked—kitten-true.
Anrietta blushed scared—fearing weird ask.
Sora right-caressed Louise, left-ringed Anrietta.
"Anrietta..."
Anrietta heart-leaped.
"Like me?"
!!!! Aniyas, Louise shocked.
Anrietta lightning-struck, ring-spoke blurted.
"Like."
Room silenced.
"Heh—hahahaha." Sora roared. "Like you too, Anrietta."
"Queen Majesty!" Aniyas disbelieved.
"Anrietta—you." Louise flustered-glanced.
Anrietta blushed door-fled.
"Th—that—no count!"
"Queen Majesty!" Aniyas chased.
"Sora—playboy, villain, big villain!" Louise fist-pounded Sora angry.
Sora mood-high, unbothered. Hand-caught Louise's, kissed, bed-tugged. Moans soon sounded.
Anrietta carriage-palace-returned. Face flushed shame, heart deer-thumped.
Really want that? Anrietta head-low recalled Sora pics: shame, anger, joy, trust—mixed.
