Deepening Bonds

Now properly protected from any unwanted pregnancies, Yuri continued to have plenty of sex with Katia and Lucy while also preparing for war. Between the buttfucking and the creampies, with the occasional blowjob and pussy licking thrown into the mix to keep things exciting, Yuri practiced with her blade. She was already basically perfect in technique and execution, having mastered her Way, but her strength and stamina were not yet limitless. To improve her fitness, she would spend whole days at the training grounds, swinging her sword in an intricate and high-speed dance that would tire a normal soldier in minutes.

Beyond physical conditioning and sex, Yuri focused on deepening the bonds between herself and her women. It helped that Katia and Lucy were similarly eager to get to know her better. Katia studied the Ancient Tongue with a new fervor, reaching basic fluency within a month under the old lady's tutelage. For apprentice mages like Katia, it was common to memorize as many spell incantations as possible, first, before learning the rest of the Ancient Tongue, which they often referred to as the Language of Power. Fluency wasn't necessary to cast spells, after all. Mastering the Ancient Tongue was often the last step in the learning process, as it opened up the possibility of inventing new incantations, with enough dedication and experimentation. By asking her teacher to help her learn the Ancient Tongue before she finished mastering all of the incantations in the old lady's spellbook, Katia delayed her own growth in power.

"I wanted to explain my true feelings to you, and I couldn't do that without learning your language. I love you, Yuri. Lucy and I both feel blessed to have your devotion, and we adore your honest, fearless way of living. It's true that my magic hasn't grown any more powerful since we first met, but I'm not worried," Katia explained to Yuri about her feelings and her studies. "You'll protect us, until I become a sage, right Yuri?"

"I'll protect you forever," Yuri answered, pushing Katia down for another round of lovemaking. Fortunately, that particularly private conversation had been held inside of Katia's room, which Yuri had moved into. They had had to replace the bed with a larger one, and the old lady complained that it was now too cramped and noisy in their humble two-bedroom home. Through negotiations with Kendar's leader, Duce, and his young wife Donna who Yuri enjoyed groping whenever the old man wasn't looking, it was decided that Yuri could get her own house in the future, with its size determined by Yuri's contribution in her first real battle.

Lucy's role in the military shifted dramatically after Yuri took her as a lover and started training her to help her master her own Way. Whereas beforehand, she had been a simple, rank-and-file soldier, with maybe a bit of skillful swordsmanship to help her stand slightly ahead of her peers, now she was unbeatable in single combat even against Kendar's most experienced commanders. Those commanders, believing that Yuri could become a significant military asset if they could control her, chose to relieve Lucy from regular military duty and assigned her the sole role of handling and managing Yuri, both during and outside of battle. With a little assistance from Katia, Yuri and Lucy eventually worked together to develop a way to communicate to each other without words. Using Yuri's natural instincts and Lucy's analytical eye, the two learned to convey all sorts of messages with the simplest of gestures and expressions.

To improve their teamwork further, Lucy also learned some basic terms in the Ancient Tongue. She surprised Yuri with them around the end of their first month together. "Yuri," Lucy had said, over a romantic dinner date at one of Kendar's finest restaurants. "You are the sexiest and strongest woman I have ever met. I love you, and I want to be together forever. But I am strong, too! I promise, I will find my Way, and I will defeat you! Just you wait, Yuri!"

"Gods, Lucia, I'd love to see you try!" Yuri shouted, tossing the table aside in a rush of excitement and arousal. She pulled Lucy to the carpeted floor and tore her blue dress from her shoulders. Lucy responded, straddling Yuri's hips and popping the buttons off her white shirt to get at her breasts. The two wrestled one another for control, rolling on the restaurant floor in what was essentially half-battle, half-fuck. Unfortunately, while the two were caught in the throes of lust, the restaurant's staff and patrons fled in a panic. The whole debacle resulted in a big bill that ate through most of Lucy's savings, including the bonus she got when she was promoted to her new position. To make matters worse, more unsavory rumors began to spread, cautioning young women to stay as far away as possible from Kendar's resident demonic swordswoman, lest they be eaten up, too. Despite the costs, Lucy felt it was all a small price to pay for what she considered the best night of her life so far.

Although she enjoyed showering Katia and Lucy with affection as often as she could, there were times when Katia needed to study, and Lucy needed to practice, and yet Yuri couldn't be bothered to think about anything but sex. While there were quite a few other attractive women in Kendar, most of them were too afraid of Yuri to want anything to do with her. The two exceptions were Donna, Duce's wife, and Agnes, Priestess of Lunarra. Yuri often visited them when her lovers were too busy to 'play' with her.

During her first visit to the palace without an escort, Donna was pleased to see Yuri and invited her in for tea. Yuri wore her usual athletic bra and shorts, contrasting significantly with Donna's intricate white dress covered in swirling gold patterns. In Donna's parlor, Yuri discovered that she also spoke some of the Ancient Tongue.

"I've almost nothing to pass the time with, here in the palace," Donna explained, "The palace library is nice, but some of the books that looked most interesting are untranslated. I've taught myself a language or three there. The Ancient Histories are my favorite, actually. Did you know, a millenia ago, the Allfather had a duel with a human swordswoman, not far from where Kendar stands today? Of course, he was always battling and slaughtering and eating all sorts of unfortunate humans, but I thought this story was particularly exciting, because she almost won! She lopped off three of his arms, most of his serpent penises, one of his legs, and nearly took his head off, too. It was the combination of his divine Tidal Trident, Fated Gladius, and Heart-Seeking Hatchet that helped him win. The Gladius miraculously parried the slash that was about to slice his spine in two, the Trident's surging waves knocked the swordswoman off balance, and one hit from the Hatchet sent her running for the hills. I mean, sure, the Allfather regenerated all of his lost limbs the next day, as per usual, but there are many theories about what decapitation might've done to him, written by the Avalonian philosopher, Merlinus…"

Yuri began nodding off around the title, 'Ancient Histories,' and while Donna spoke, Yuri busied herself by staring at Donna's big breasts. They were some of the biggest breasts she had ever seen; much bigger than her own, and even bigger than Agnes's. They looked wonderfully soft and pleasant and Yuri thought about how Donna had let her gently touch them before. At the time, she had been pretending to do it more or less on accident, as she shifted around in Donna's lap, but this time…

"Oh!" Donna gasped as Yuri reached across the table and firmly grabbed her tits through her white and gold dress. Yuri put on a mischievous grin and looked into Donna's wide, light brown eyes, wondering how much trouble she was in now. Donna blinked, taking a moment to collect herself, and then returned Yuri's smile with her own, showing off her perfectly white and straight teeth. She rose and walked around the table, holding Yuri's hands to her breasts. Coming closer, she leaned down and tapped Yuri's chin to bring her eyes up. "I'm so sorry, Yuri, was I boring you?"

"Uh." Yuri didn't want to lie to Donna, but she didn't want to disappoint her either. She liked Donna, even if she was taken. After meeting Agnes, she knew that experienced women had their own charms.

"I know, I know," Donna said, glossing over Yuri's lack of an answer. "I've been such a bad hostess. I want to make it up to you." Donna signalled to her handmaid, a quiet girl who Yuri had barely even noticed. The handmaid moved forward and placed a cushion on the ground near Yuri's chair. Donna knelt on it and looked up, pulling her dress down to free her heavy breasts. Yuri's hands sunk into them and began playing with them. Their softness was mesmerizing. "Would it be alright?" Donna asked, lightly tugging at Yuri's shorts.

"Yeah," Yuri answered, lifting her hips to help Donna remove her shorts and panties. She moved to the edge of her seat, bringing her rock hard cock into contact with Donna's amazing boobs. "Please."

"With pleasure," Donna answered. Then she swallowed Yuri's cock, maintaining eye contact with Yuri the whole time. She immediately started deepthroating it, a technique that both Katia and Lucy had tried and failed at. They were getting there, but Donna was already a master. She brought her lips to Yuri's base, her lower lip even beginning to touch Yuri's balls. She gagged and swallowed a couple times, only deepening Yuri's pleasure. Yuri closed her eyes, lost in the amazing sensations, and Donna began to stroke her with the inside of her mouth and throat, bobbing up and down on her cock. When she needed to breathe, she held a couple of inches of Yuri's length on her tongue and sucked air through her nostrils, never letting Yuri leave her mouth completely.

Yuri held out for a couple minutes until she started trembling, nearing her orgasm. Donna noticed the signs and tried to pull away, but Yuri grabbed her head and pulled her back down to her base, cumming directly down her throat. Powerful vibrations rocked through Yuri's body as she experienced one of the strongest orgasms she'd ever felt. For her part, Donna resisted only for a moment, and then began to contract the muscles in her throat in an effort to milk Yuri's cock. Yuri held her tight for over a minute until the flow of her semen abated. Then, when Donna tried to pull out and catch a breath, the stimulation of her throat sliding past her cock caused Yuri to immediately reach a second orgasm, like a light aftershock. Yuri slammed Donna back down to her base and came again, pouring more cum into her stomach. Donna's lungs began to beg for air and her eyes started to roll up into her head. She could have pushed away, but she chose not to, and Yuri was losing her mind at the amazing new sensations she was experiencing, so she didn't think to pull out early. Donna's handmaid stepped forward from her place near the wall, intent on saving her mistress, but Donna saw her out of the corner of her eye. Even as she was losing consciousness, Donna snapped her fingers, ordering her handmaid to freeze in place. A few seconds later, Yuri's second orgasm finished, only lasting half as long as her first, and she yanked Donna off of her dick.

Donna gasped for air, sticky strings of saliva mixed with semen connecting her lips to Yuri's softening penis. Both partners needed time to recover from what just happened, and in the meantime, the handmaid approached and kissed her mistress. Then, she turned and kissed Yuri's cock, slurping up all of the excess fluids along its length. When she had gotten it mostly clean, she brought a soft, silk handkerchief out of her pocket and fully dried it off. She pulled Yuri's shorts back up and tucked her penis back into her panties. Once Yuri was all taken care of, she dabbed her mistress's wet lips, and dabbed her own wet lips, and then stood and returned to her place by the wall.

"Donna Diamante," the handmaiden spoke, waking Donna and Yuri from their shared stupor. Her voice sounded deeper than even Yuri's, like a young man's. "Duce Emilio will be expecting you for supper in a quarter-hour. I humbly suggest that you return to your quarters to prepare."

"Oh!" Donna stood, pulling her dress back up over her breasts. "I'm so sorry, Yuri. Looks like time got away from me. Please, I would love to do this again sometime soon, but I've got to go for now."

Yuri nodded. "Yeah, I'll swing by again when I get the chance. Uh, thank you, Donna."

"Call me Diamante, honey! I'm already looking forward to next time!" Diamante rushed out of the parlor, her cheeks flushed with arousal and embarrassment.

The handmaid approached Yuri, picking up the cushion and returning it to its proper place on the nearby parlor couch. "I can tell you aren't very smart," she said, looking at Yuri. Her glasses were cute, as was her neat, neck-length haircut. She wore a very plain, very pristine, frilly white dress. "You probably thought Donna and Duce were names, not titles, yes?"

Yuri nodded, sheepishly tangling a hand in her braids. "So her name is Diamante, huh?"

"Yes. Now stop talking. Listen, then go."

Yuri furrowed her brow. It had just hit her that the handmaid was speaking in the Ancient Tongue.

As if reading her mind, the handmaid continued, growing a little irritated, "Yes, I speak the Language of Power. Donna Diamante doesn't have many friends, and she needs someone to discuss the classics with. More importantly, she likes you. Therefore, you need to keep coming to the palace, but not too often, or the Duce will get suspicious. Only come twice a week, for now. If you become a Kendarie hero, no one will care if you're cucking the Duce, so try to perform well in the upcoming wars. Most likely, Eleria will make a move before any of the other major threats. Start working on consecrating your sword with your sexfriend, Agnes. Don't wait; you'll want the blessing as powerful as she can make it. The Eidolons will fuck you up if your blade isn't sanctified, and if you fuck up, Kendar is done. Got it?"

"No," Yuri replied honestly.

"Go to the temple, and get Agnes to spray her sexual fluids on your sword! It's not fucking arcane triplicate theory! Go, and come back to see the Donna next week. Come in the morning so you can fuck all day before dinner. Keep up with your training and be ready to fight within the next two weeks! I need to go attend the Donna and fix what you did to her hair and makeup. Goodbye, Yuri!"

During her explanation, the handmaid guided Yuri through the palace hallways, eventually arriving at a rear exit. When she was done speaking, she pushed Yuri out into the streets of Kendar and slammed the door in her face.

After listening to the door lock and the handmaid's rushed footsteps retreating into the palace, Yuri decided that she ought to go visit Agnes and ask her what an Eidolon was. She also wondered what the handmaid's name was. She was kind of cute, maybe, in an aggressive, controlling, demanding kind of way. On second thought, Yuri realized that she was kind of a bitch. Well, her glasses were cute, at least.
