Sitting on a tiny wooden stool, Leon sighed. He had gotten used to luxurious baths at his former house. So having to wipe his body with just a piece of cloth and a bit of soap didn't feel satisfying at all. He wanted to take a long shower, and then marinate his body in a boiling hot tub until his bones cooked.
Luckily for him, only one thing didn't change. Looking in front of him, he could clearly see Noel's exquisite body kneeling in front of him as she scrubbed his chest.
When his family first picked her to be his maid, she was a frail brat that he could push away with ease, but now... she had become the tallest person he had ever seen in his life, standing at nearly two meters tall, and had muscular bulk to match that height.
Thick arms, even thicker thighs, and two milk barrels that were bigger than Leon's head, yet still felt as dense as soft rubber. Just looking at them would've been enough to make him lose his mind, but luckily, he won't embarrasses himself as this isn't the first time he had seen her naked. As she was his personal maid, they had always bathed together.
Yeah... his personal maid... How did he even feel about her? She bathed him, put him to sleep, helped him put on his clothes, and tended to him when he got sick. She even played with him when he was a kid and even studied with him.
Was she like an older sister to him? No, she won't be in the bath with him. Was she like a childhood friend? Impossible. A mother? Maybe... but that isn't right either... Leon could finally get it. To him, Noel felt more like a nagging wife of a political marriage, the same way his mother was to his father.
He smiled, and Noel lifted her head slightly. "Master, is there a problem?" Beatrice, who was behind washing Leon's clothes, looked at that move and frowned. ^Does she even need to wear a bra? Those massive things didn't even jiggle.^ She then sheepishly touched her own chest, sighing in disappointment as she was the smallest of the three.
Leon smiled. "Nothing, I was just thinking back to the baths we had before. This is nowhere near them, right?" As he replied, Roberta, who was busy scrubbing his back, hugged him, pressing her ballistic weapons tightly to his back as she wrapped her arms around his chest.
Leon flinched as she bit his ear, and Noel could clearly see his flesh twitch a bit as if about to rise. "Does that mean you two took bathes together? How far did you two go?"
"That... isn't any of your business, right?" Leon replied with a shaking voice, Roberta growled with a faint blush, and Noel giggled as she pointed down at Leon's flesh with a smug grin. "All that skinship and didn't even rise. He is mine."
Roberta's blush grew deeper, and she growled back at Noel. "You milk cow... you're the one who desensitized him with that demonic body of yours." She then wiggled her fingers with a large smile. "But worry not! I'll fix your mistakes."
The moment she said that, Leon's flesh stood up like a launching rocked, and it was even bigger than any time that Noel had seen it before.
"You..." Noel growled. "To use blood control to cheat." She reached right past Leon's head and grabbed Roberta by the neck.
"I'm not cheating. It's your body that is a cheat. And to think you've been with him for years... I'm only leveling the playing field." She looked back at Noel with a smug grin and even bigger blush than before. "And it's not like you'll keep him to yourself."
Roberta immediately lifted both of her legs, wrapped them around Leon's waist, and grasped his hard flesh between her feet. "You gotta learn to share him a bit, Maid."
Noel's face twisted into a raging frown with a deep blush. Roberta and Leon could clearly see the veins popping on her neck and forehead, and in the next second, she grabbed Roberta's right ankle and lifted her up like a toy.
Roberta gasped, and Leon just looked to be having a great time. Noel stood with her hand extended forward, carrying Roberta as if she were a sword. "You! This monstrous strength!"
Due to how tall and built Noel was, Roberta only weighed less than half what she did. Add the skill [Sword Master] on top of that build, and she could treat Roberta like a slightly heavy sword with no problems.
"Leon! Say something?" Roberta growled, and Leon just smiled as he stared directly at Noel's lower lips which were just an inch away from his face. "Did you say something?"
Knowing that she was on her own, Roberta kicked at Noel's face several times. But all of those kicks failed to even make the maid flinch. That was the sheer difference between a physical skill and a magical one. Skills don't magically make someone able to do inhuman things. Skills use magic to change the user's body and biology, empowering them on a fundamental level.
Noel's huge and hard body wasn't just for show, and Roberta, who had stomped everyone until now, had just realized that.
Noel took a stance, and Roberta cried. "Wait!" But before she could say anything else, Noel swung her around like a sword with enough force and speed that the entire room shook, and the acceleration easily knocked out the undefeated Reaper.
As Noel dropped Roberta on the bed, Leon stared at them and sighed. "Noel, that was a bit much, wasn't it?" She looked back at him, blinked several times, and then turned toward Roberta, who was just waking up.
Thinking about what she just did, Noel approached the bed and knelt to look Roberta in the eyes. "I'm sorry... I... took things a bit too far." While Noel had used her skill against Roberta, Roberta didn't do the same, and if she wanted, she could've easily knocked her out.
Roberta growled as she rubbed her head. "Guh..." The acceleration had pushed a lot of blood into her head, knocking her out, and that hurt a lot. "That... could've killed someone."
Noel looked down with a troubled face. Roberta and Leon are right. What gotten into her to do such a thing? In this current situation, Roberta's powers are the only reason they are still alive. She should be thanking her, not trying to kill her.
Roberta smiled as she jumped down from the bed and tapped Noel on the shoulder. "Relax, I'm not angry. In fact, I'm happy someone as strong as you is here with us. I need Leon to survive and become a great lord. For that... we need all the help we could get."
"I see..." Noel already had her suspicions about Roberta's motives, but they were now clear. She didn't love Leon, at least not enough to give her body to him. The only way she is doing this is to survive. She is a wanted criminal, an infamous assassin called the Mass Murdering Reaper. If found out, she would be executed without a trial, and the only way for her to live is to hide in the shadow of someone that no one can touch.
If Leon rises up to the top, he would be able to protect her. That is why she is willing to pose as a maid and even offer her body.
Noel stood and looked toward Leon with Roberta, noticing that Beatrice, who had finished washing his clothes, had already stripped and was now scrubbing his legs.
