《Kindred》Chapter 74 - Miss Would Normally Scold Him!
Advertisement
Uuuu...
My head hurts... My vision is blurry... my limbs feel heavy...
At least the bed is soft. And the pillow feels exactly like Miss's...
... Eh?
This soft yet firm feeling.
The perfect size to fit my head.
The familiar refreshing and calming scent.
... It's totally the same?
My limbs are gradually regaining their strength.
I can move with them now.
I also notice the weird posture they are in.
... It's as if I'm doing something I shouldn't be.
The vision of my eye clears.
The first thing I see is a snow-white skin.
The snow-white skin of the soft pillows.
... Latifa. What have you done now?
"Hmm? Are you awake my little princess?" Miss's voice wakes me up from my lamenting.
Honestly.
Miss's voice is so sweet I could taste sugar in my ears.
Miss sounds happy? No, that would be an understatement.
She looks exactly like those maids in the kitchen when they talk about their boyfrie-
I confirm the surroundings and find the culprit.
I activate the secret glaring technique.
Glare until you confess eye technique.
Glare.
Glare.
Glare.
"What?" He says in an annoyed tone.
W, what is this!
What's up with that glare!
Why does it feel like he's looking at a loser!?
T, this can't be! Absolutely not!
"Awu! Awu!"
"Stop barking at me."
Grrr.
This is really strange!
Miss would...
Miss would normally scold him!
Why... Why is she not scolding him?
D, did the scales of Miss's heart tip towards him?
Nonono.
I look at Miss with a worried expression.
"What's wrong, Latifa? Are you hungry? Cold? Hot? Do you want to buy something? A bath? Or... perhaps... me?" Miss says with a flushed face.
"Awu!"
That's right!
I want you, Miss!
If you went on that annoying man's side, come back to me!

... Although I feel a little cold for some reason.
Must be my imagination.
"I see, I see." Miss nods.
"Latifa wants me. I see. I see. Can't be helped. This is where the wife should obediently listen to the husband and presents herself, right? But, we are in public right now..." Miss mutters something under her nose. I couldn't understand.
Miss's face switches between delighted and troubled expressions back and forth.
Is Miss ill?
This is where I should show my maid skills!
... Ah, by the way, why am I locked? yeah locked is the right word. Why am I locked in Miss's clothes?
And why a memory of a weird pink cloth over Miss's waist suddenly appeared in my mind!?
... I wonder what that cloth is for?
Hmm? Why do I feel like something similar happened before?
I can't remember.
But... I'm curious.
Very interested.
WHAT IS THAT CLOTH FOR?
I must ask Miss later.

On the Road to Elspar (Book 1)
The year is 1329. The Huntress' War has entered its tenth year, inflaming competing nationalisms and pitting the Confederacy of Caldrein against one of the continent's superpowers, the Tenereian Union. Desperately outnumbered, the Confederacy has relied on the prowess of its famed Caldran mercenaries, with highly-trained and experienced warbands returning from foreign conflicts to the defense of their homeland, and it is on their backs that Caldrein has successfully mounted a valiant defense for a decade. But they are losing, and day by day, with all the grace of a sledgehammer, the vast Tenereian armies take one more bit of Caldran territory, one footstep at a time. Sixteen-year-old Neianne from the village of Caelon has submitted herself to Faulkren Academy, one of the centuries-old institutions established to train the next generation of Caldrein's elite soldiers of fortune, to learn the ways of wars for three years before embarking upon the defense of her country. Her dryad family once hailed from reclusive woodland communes isolated from Caldrein's complicated mainstream society, and her upbringing leaves the shy village girl unprepared to suddenly train alongside other apprentices from backgrounds as low as the dirty slums of Caldrein's cities and as high as the halls of aristocratic power. Yet the war is eroding the norms and traditions that the Caldran people have long considered part of their national mythos, and the tensions within the confederacy that have long simmered under the surface - race, class, community, identity - are slowly but surely dividing its people, and Neianne must grow and discover who she really is, even as the war that she is steadfastly training for comes to its inexorable end... On the Road to Elspar is a fantasy quest - a work of interactive fiction wherein readers get to vote on what happens next at critical junctures - that is the first entry in a story that follows Neianne of Caelon, which first began on July 20, 2016. Originally a three-part in medias res prologue to a larger story titled On the Elsparian Road, it was eventually decided that this section - which covers Neianne's three years at Faulkren Academy - become its own independent story due to length, structural, and accessibility reasons. Despite this being a reader interactive work of fiction, due to logistical and verification concerns, voting will only be counted on its thread on the forum Sufficient Velocity, where this story originally began. As such, the content here on Royal Road serves as a story-only archive. You are, of course, entirely welcome to enjoy On the Road to Elspar as a conventional work of fiction, just as you are welcome to comment, discuss, and provide critique. But if you would like to participate in the voting, then I would be honored to welcome you on Sufficient Velocity. To facilitate accessibility and to ensure the best reading experience, this story-only version of On the Road to Elspar will be updated at a periodic pace, even though further content exists, so as to not overwhelm new readers on Royal Road. If you enjoy this story, wish to binge it, and/or want to participate in voting immediately, you may of course read all additional content via the link provided above. This paragraph will be removed once the content on Royal Road catches up with what has already been posted in its original thread. Cover artwork by DreamSyndd.

In a tiny corner, at the edge of a volcanic land, is born an imp. An imp no different from any other save one thing. An anomaly in its code. A blip in its creation. For unlike other imps, this one was born…curious. Book Cover by Betty Elgyn: https://www.deviantart.com/bettyelgyn
