Now, why not start teaching this servant of his right now? With Edrick’s incessant physical training and this body’s impressive aspects, taking on the instruction of both Fanqia and Linmin would be a piece of cake, but it would just be a shame to pass up on having the latter of the two squirm with impatience everytime his lord took care of the lady, and then squirm even more strongly when the shame of such feelings within a lowly servant that was clearly overstepping bounds.

There was an art in building anticipation, to make one-self desirable once it was clear the target was already hooked in too deeply to give up now, it was especially simple with Linmin, who would seemingly remain loyal no matter what Anoteros did, and who had certainly already harboured such thoughts since before Edrick took over Zixuan’s body.

After their conversation and physical closeness, the lord simply took a seat around the table, the servant returning to his duties with remarkable casualness, Anoteros waited for his dear wife to arrive, which happened quicker than expected.

“Lord Anoteros! Last night was magical! Will we do it again soon?” it was almost uncanny how thrilled Fanqia was, she was illuminating the surroundings with happiness, like Edrick had shown her the secrets of the universe instead of just moving back and forth inside a cavity.

“No need to be so impatient, I’ll show you more things tonight… Or maybe earlier than that?” he teased her, pulling Fanqia right up against him by the waist, the young woman instinctively clinging to him and sitting on his lap.

“Earlier- Like right now?” surely, this insatiable craveness was due to the crest of domination, which she had probably noticed and wasn’t questioning in the slightest, but Edrick felt confident that it wasn’t that powerful, so rather, it looked like Fanqia genuinely couldn’t wait to repeat the experience.

“Right in front of Linmin? And did I not tell you? Your family is coming to visit today, they want to see just how pleased being mine makes you” he said, considering acceding to that demand and taking her right on the table, but no, a bit of decorum for now, and he couldn’t just agree to it, she shouldn’t get used to receiving instant gratification every time she wanted to.

There was a bit of a blank on Fanqia’s part.

“Family? Why would they show up here? They kept spewing bad rumours about you without thinking!”

“Come now, those rumours are hard facts, can’t blame them for telling the truth, can we?”

“We can! They were badmouthing you, and I know they’ll try to leech when they get confirmation that I am your wife, don’t let them take anything, they didn’t want me to be with you…” she grasped onto Anoteros like a baby monkey to its mother, he didn’t even have to do or say anything at this point, Fanqia was on auto-pilot and speeding right down the way he wanted her to, honestly, it was beautiful, a few weeks and one steamy night had been enough, truly a work of art.

“Don’t worry, I only invited them to see us together, I wouldn’t extend any kindness to my in-laws”

Setting Fanqia down on a seat right next to his, fondling all that goodness while he was at it, Linmin finished setting the table and went to stand behind both Edrick and his wife, as she technically was his lady now, he had to protect her with his life if necessary.

“By the way, Linmin, when is her family supposed to arrive?”

“They should already be on their way, but considering their weak constitution, intense dread and general inability to exert themselves, it should take a few hours for them to climb up the mountain, that is without accounting for the possibility that they get lost, of course” replied the servant.

“Very well, we can’t just wait around forever, keep watch for me, Linmin- Follow me Fanqia” after finishing this meal, it was time for the daily routine to start, which went uninterrupted and as per usual, only with the addition that what had formerly been small physical contacts, was now full-on groping, his wife reacting intensely to each of those instances.

It was no longer about breaking down her boundaries, but about arousing and building up tension without ever allowing it to reach the breaking point, so it just stayed high and hot within Fanqia at all times.

Every time Edrick did that, it was another layer of pleasure that would strike his wife when he actually decided to let the finale take place, and controlling the stimulation to bring close to, but not to the point of having her overflow was rather difficult on one so sensitive.

The crest had made her even more susceptible to him, something mundane could have her keel over and spasming uncontrollably, but also thanks to the crest, he had a very precise grasp of all of this.

Thus, they reached the daily run, Fanqia had built up some more stamina and could manage to complete the run without problem most of the time, still, Anoteros had them stop by the clear lake.

“I still haven’t taught you how to swim, so take off your clothes” he said in a single breath, his wife doing as she was told without question, Edrick undressed as well.

“Look up there, Fanqia, I’ll give you a reward if you learn well”

“What sort of reward?” she smiled, hands behind her back.

“You’ll see, let’s start by getting into the water” he didn’t elaborate as it was hardly necessary, Fanqia only had one thing on her mind right now.

Going in first, he led her by the hand, the water temperature being surprisingly warm as it was basked in the sun, although excited by the prospect of a reward, Fanqia found herself immediately afraid, being submerged even if only slightly was a new experience, even just having access to a bucket of heated water to clean herself with at the residence had required some adjustments.

Holding onto Edrick, waiting for him to tell her what to do.

“Don’t be afraid, your feet are touching the ground, just stay right here as I show you, alright?” he ran his wet hands all over the parts of her body that had yet to touch water, watching with interest as the two summits upon the hills hardened.

“…Yes…” as long as Edrick was there, nothing bad should happen anyways.

Anoteros himself had had to relearn how to swim using this body, the long arms making it rather suitable for this activity, he only showed the easiest things to his wife for now, moving back toward her.

“For your first few attempts, I’ll be holding you” he reassured her, wrapping his hands around her waist.

“Am I- Am I doing good, Lord Anoteros?”

“Mmh… Pretty freaking good actually” he nodded, it seemed like his property had some talent.

In fact, she was doing so well that he decided to actually allow her to try out actually swimming by herself already, Edrick could feel her heart beating like crazy, simultaneously afraid of the water and yearning for the promised reward.

But there was no need to be afraid, she did well and was going to be given another lesson in how to be a good wife.
