My Servant System

After taking a deep breath I pulled away from Jahi, looking around at everyone as they surrounded me.

Mother pulled me into a hug, which I returned. As she held me, I heard the Marquess laugh as she said "Who would have thought the little pup would have advanced magic as well? Haha~ Oh, I can't wait to rub this in the Duchess' face~"

Ruffling my ears, my mother finally let me go, her eyes glowing with warmth as she smiled down at me.

Looking around again, I saw Arch Mage Kolia sporting a huge grin as she looked between Jahi and I.

The Countess had a gentle smile as she moved over towards Jahi, whispering something in her ear.

The Baroness was looking at me in awe, her green eyes flickering between Jahi and I.

Finally, Anput and Leone both smiled at me, though Leone was smiling at me in congratulations, while Anput was grinning as she looked me over, her eyes shining slightly with desire.

I turned back to the one person who captivated me.

Jahi.

She was still a deep blue, though her eyes were solid gold as she looked down at me. Considering her blush deepened when the Countess whispered something to her, I engraved her shy look into my mind, almost certain I wouldn't get a chance to see it again.

I took a step towards her, making her flinch slightly, before stepping right in front of her. Wrapping my arms around her, I felt my whole body go warm as I hugged her, and I laid my head on her chest, listening as her heart beat quickly.

Hearing the Marquess laugh again, Jahi gently untangled herself from me before looking down at me, her lips pursed as her golden eyes were ablaze with desire.

"Well, I guess we should leave the little pup and shy demon to it, huh~"

Chuckling, the Marquess walked out of the room, the Countess and mother right behind her. Arch Mage Kolia, the Baroness, and the Baron all followed quickly behind, while Anput and Leone remained.

Anput chuckled slightly, her tail swaying slightly as she spoke.

"Really, who would have thought that the heir of House Asmodia would awaken Light magic, and her maid would awaken Ice magic? It's insane!"

I smiled at her, before looking back at Jahi.

While I enjoyed seeing her shy expression, the fact that she had pushed me away not once but twice was irking. I wanted to hold her; I wanted to feel her warmth. And yet...

Taking a deep breath, I calmed myself down slightly, before listening to Leone speak.

"Congratulations Kat! Now we can practice magic together!"

Turning, I saw her orange eyes were glowing with excitement, and I just smiled back at her.

"I appreciate the praise, I really do, but I am quite... tired right now. Could we talk in a few hours?"

Still smiling, I watched as Anput smirked at me while Leone just nodded, her eyes still glowing. I watched as they left the room, before looking back up at Jahi.

She shuffled about, her golden eyes flickering between the floor and me. Giving her a few moments, I sighed in slight annoyance as she remained silent.

"Jahi..."

Flinching, she let out a high pitched "Yes!"

Sighing again, I said "Shall we go to our room?"

Hearing that, she looked at me before her cheeks darkened again, before nodding slightly.

Grinning, I grabbed her hand and led her towards our room, switching our normal roles as she dragged behind me.

We quickly made it to our room, before I dragged her into the bedroom.

Letting her wrist go, I dropped onto the bed, looking over at her.

Seeing her shuffling around again, I sighed before saying "Jahi, what's wrong? Was it the kiss?"

She looked up at me, before nodding slightly.

"Did... did you not like it?"

Time seemed to slow down considerably, every second feeling like an hour as I waited for her answer.

If...

If she said she didn't like the kiss...

Feeling my heart clench, I watched as she stood there, biting her lip.

I continued to watch her, before letting out a large sigh of relief when she shook her head.

"Then what? What's bothering you?"

She took a breath, before looking at me with her gold eyes.

"Are... are you going to stay with me? I mean, with Ice magic you could go anywhere! The Duchy up north, for exam-"

As she spoke I got up, grabbed her wrist, and threw her onto the bed.

If this was yesterday, I wouldn't have been able to do that as easily, but my whole body felt lighter and stronger.

Climbing on top of her, I watched as my hair draped onto her face. Taking a breath, I leaned closer, before kissing the tip of her nose.

Seeing her widen her eyes in surprise, I sighed before saying "Have we not said it enough? Jahi, I will always be with, now and forever. There is no need to worry. After all, my magic is yours, my body is yours, my life is yours. Unless you yourself kill me, I will never, not in a million years, let you go."

I growled that last part, before leaning down and kissing her again.

Pulling away, I saw her eyes burn bright with desire as she pulled me into her, burying her face into my neck.

Chuckling, I felt her tense muscles loosen up as she said "By the gods am I stupid..."

I chuckled as well, saying "Yes, that wasn't your smartest moment."

She flipped me onto my back, looking down at me as she said "Well, this really seals the deal, Kat... You are NEVER getting away from me..."

I chuckled as I looked up at her, my heart warming considerably at her words.

The intense desire and love in her eyes, as well as possessiveness in her voice, made me tremble all over.

As I was about to pull her back down into me, Jahi got up, sighing in relief before saying "Well, I have a gift for you..."

I watched as she walked towards her dresser, opening up a drawer that she had designated as her personal storage. It was a place she stored her favorite books and other items, and she asked me to never open it without her knowledge. I, of course, agreed. After all, everyone needs a place they can be alone, a place they can store their own things.

She walked back over, a box in her hand. She smiled down at me, before placing it in my hands.

It was a long, thin rectangular box, and was quite light. Unwrapping the bow, I raised a brow at Jahi before taking the lid off.

Looking inside, I saw a beautiful red leather collar, a gold pendant dangling form the center, depicting the symbol of March Asmodia.

The symbol was a downwards triangle with a circle on top of it, which was topped with a topless rectangle. (A/N Imma drop a picture here, I found a symbol online that I liked, and realized that I had no idea how to describe it, so boom picture time.)

I gently lifted the leather collar out of the box, watching as the gold pendant swayed slightly.

Looking towards Jahi I saw her smirking at me, before leaning towards my ear, whispering "I wanted to show the world that I 'owned' you..."

I shivered again, my body warming considerably at how her voice dripped with desire and possessivness.

Taking the collar, I quickly fastened it on my neck, making sure it wasn't too tight but wouldn't be moving easily.

Nodding, I looked back at Jahi, watching as she grinned widely at me before pinning me back on the bed. Burying her face back into my neck, she repeated "Your mine, your mine, your mine..." Over and over again, holding me as tight as she could.

A little short, I know, but hey. I thought this was a good chapter.

Anyways, like I said last time, I have a few scenes planned for now till the Academy, which include things like Spars, Fights, Magic, Social Events, Lemons, Development between Jahi/Kat and Leone/Anput, and more. So, stick around!

Besides that, as always, thank you all so much for the continued support! It really means a lot to me to see all the people donating power stones and leaving comments on this novel!

I hope you keep enjoying~
