Jasmi her and her sister’s house after ing up. Her enter with her student was still at the forefront of her thoughts. The pleasure she felt when she blew Cire and the satisfa from it all. Every lewd thought she began to develop of her student from the past couple months came back with a vengeahe usually stoic assassin was flustered and red faced as she headed to the guild hall. Before entering, she took a long, deep breath and adjusted her neendage in her pants.
“I o at least act like a professional.” She said before spping her cheeks with her hands and releasing her breath. She took another couple of deep breaths with her eyes closed, enteriate of calm. Her heart rate slowed and her face lost its red color as she returo her professional self.
She ehe building and approached Elizabeth’s office. They po meet after the st of the children got their csses. A lot was to be discussed depending on the csses each of the children received. Jasmine made a mental list of eae, Jessie Carpenter was a foreman, Lyn Carpenter was stoneworker, Elsie Bree was a magi, Ana Bree a white magi and Cire Owens adin. Three bat csses and two worker csses, usually not the best ratio for a vilge.
She opehe office door and was greeted by the sight of the dy reading a report. She silently sat in the chair in front of Elizabeth’s desk and waited for her to finish reading. Whatever it was caused Elizabeth to frown.
“10% increase in taxes, are you fug kidding me?” She swore to herself. “We already hand over 50% of our profits to that bitd she wants more?!”
“All of us? Or just businesses and the guild?” Jasmine asked.
“Everyone.” Elizabeth said with an exasperated sigh. ”That idiot is going to bleed this nd dry”
The idiot she was referring to was Lady Myrtle Lloyd, the local lord of their nds. She came into power nearly 15 years ago and has been running her fief into the ground. High taxes and funneling resources to her castle has left many vilges bitter and on the verge of colpse. Restol vilge was the exception, Elizabeth and her wife were able to stem the problems with their ma skills and tacts.
“Did Cire tell you about her css?” Jasmine asked.
“No, and I didn’t ask. Figured she’d let you know” She said.
Jasmine paused, w how much to tell the elder. “It’s…. An iing css. There’s so much potential as well.” She paused again w how to expin Cire’s skills. ”She’s a Padin able to buff her allies. One gives a stat boost and the ives an experience gain bonus. With levels and time, she could be on par with a hero.”
Elizabeth perked up. “She said she adin, is she actually a god’s champion? Only thing I think of that’d rival a hero.”
Jasmine shrugged. ”Maybe iure, but it's an unnamed goddess with no defining trait.” She decided to keep the virility part out. “Maybe with new skills she’ll know more, but for now all we have are her three relevant skills.”
Jasmine expihe skills, leaving out the cock gifting and lovers, instead expining in terms of a party. Lovers were repced with party members, the gift was left out and any bond was told as radery. After summarizing, Elizabeth took a deep breath and began thinking.
“You’re right, that does sound promising.” A smile slowly f on her face. ”Numbers could be overe with that stat increase and experience gain. Finally, we’ll be able to get rid of that idiot Lady.”
Jasmine he true topic of versation and the reason for Elizabeth’s joy. Overthrowing Lady Lloyd and rebuilding the Lloyd Fief to a better state. Before the current Lady of the Fief, there rosperity and vilges thrived. But the previous lord was cast out by Myrtle and her power seized. Thus the slow dee began.
Myrtle’s guards were the oo take Ryley and she didn’t even wait for his ing of age ive a proper dowry to the Owens family. Everyo his loss, Elizabeth told her it was like losing her own kids again. Cire and her mothers were zombies for months after he was taken, the gods only know how many other Ryleys Myrtle has taken.
On top of that, the current tax rate has killed industries and shops in the fief slowly over time. Were it not for stubborn pride, Jasmine doubts many people would stay. But people are proud of their homes and want them to be improved. Elizabeth was the same, slowly building resources, es and exceptional people. It was under her guidahat the childreaught their disciplines, stru and bat were needed in the near future. All to get Ryley bad free them from the Lady.
“Elsie will probably recruit Cire the moment she finds out about her css. Those two are tale a distance, but pletely useless in close quarters. A frontliner is the most necessary role.” Jasmine said.
A giggle escaped Elizabeth. Elsie and Ana were her students growing up. She kheir strengths and personalities like the back of her hand. “True, hopefully Cire put up with Elsie’s personality. I know she be…. a lot to handle.”
Jasmiarted recalling their trial runs of partying and how hard it was to trol Elsie. The fight with the Troll nearly crippled Jasmine and she was still a bit salty about it. Had Elsie just listeo Jasmine and not get overfident, they never would have had to face it. Cire would have tn in that girl's arrogance if she wao succeed.
That thought caused something ued to happen. Images of Cire punishing Elsie with her cod the girl choking on it. The tears soaked streaks of mascara on Elsie’s face as she received her punishment. It caused Jasmio fluster. Her chest tightened and her own cock began to rise. She squirmed in her chair and crossed her legs to hide her ret ge “This thing is dangerous” She thought to herself. Before beginning her deep breath exercises.
“I think Ana might actually be the oo look to.” Jasmine finally spoke. “Ana both praised and scolded her sister after the fight with the Troll. It seems like Elsie actually listens to her.”
“Mmm, Ana may be shy, but she loves her sister and wants what’s best for her. They’ll need yuidance if this party is to grow.” She said.
“I know, it’s just… plicated.” Jasmine expined.
“Your feelings grew from familial to romantic?” Elizabeth asked.
Jasmine nodded and the older dy rubbed her . Silence befell the two as Elizabeth thought and Jasmine squirmed. Jasmine had spoken of Cire’s feelings with Elizabeth before and how to ha. Jasmine’s hesitation must have clued Elizabeth into her own feelings.
“I don’t see a real issue. You ook advantage of her while beieacher and you’re not that much older. Your former retionship ended as teacher and student today, now you have a more equal retionship as party members.” She spoke.
Jasmienseness finally released. Her shoulders rexed as she thought about her words. It is true that their retionship as teacher and student did end with Cire’s birthday and they could bee equals. She could look at Cire as a woman now and not the girl she taught. That feeling of guilt slowly gave way to a feeling of hope.
“You’re right, I guess. No real harm in trying” Jasmine responded. She now knew what she had to do and asked for the papers to form a party. After gathering everything she needed, Jasmi and headed home. Finally free, she began to think of the future and what could happen with Cire. A big, goofy smile stered on her face as she returned home.
