Encouragement

"Mmm…" Tanya rolled over and squinted her tired eyes towards the lamp next to her bedside.

'It should be 5? I do not see any light coming through the curtains…' Tanya slowly got out of bed while navigating her body smoothly out of the grasp of Yuri's grip.

'So clingy, even when she's sleeping.'

Tanya smiled and walked over to the dormitory door.

"Penelope might be sleeping right now, but a little love never hurt anyone…"

Today was scheduled for swordsmanship, the most picked class by male students. Out of 10 male students one could encounter just on random inspection, they would find that 9 of the students attended swordsmanship class. Due to the beauty of swordsmanship and the image of a gallant knight holding a fair lady in one arm and a shin sword with the other, many male students felt quite attracted to it.

The class taught very advanced manoeuvres and techniques when compared to basic military training. However, the class can be extremely competitive.

In most cases that a female student joins the class, she is almost always a talented star. Since not many women prefer the frontlines, only the talented go to swordsmanship class.

"I hope Penelope is excited to see me~"

KNOCK KNOCK

"Tanya?" After a brief wait, Penelope opened the door and rubbed her eyes slowly as she yawned.

"Is anyone there?" Tanya asked with a smug expression.

"No, we were recently given more rooms at the request of myself." Penelope smiled.

"Why would you do that?" Tanya walked forward and forced Penelope to take steps backward.

Tanya winked as she closed the door behind the two. Sliding her fingers through the buttonholes and unbuttoning her shirt, Tanya revealed her barely covered chest before sliding. Her pants down.

"I don't want to be interrupted…" Penelope blushed.

"What is there to be interrupted~ hmmm…? Shall I gently stroke your thighs today or ask you to feed me?" Tanya asked with the tip of her index finger on touching her lips ever so gently.

"Kissing…!" Penelope became flustered.

"Is that all you want?" Tanya asked with a confused face.

"Yes."

"We can try more things if you want to, you don't have to limit yourself-"

"Sit on my lap." Penelope dropped down to the bed and pulled on Tanya's wrist, pulling the latter towards her.

PLOP

Tanya landed right on Penelope's lap, comfortably melting into each other's skin like ice cream and melted caramel.

"Fufu…" Penelope's hands grabbed onto two pieces of flesh that were pressing against her lap.

"Engh~!"

'I was not ready for that! This emperor will pay you back tenfold for that!'

Tanya licked her lips and pressed her palms onto Penelope's well proportioned chest, clenching her fingers onto them.

"Tanya, you have been a very naughty girl. I need to punish you so you can learn to be more respectful of your elders." Penelope gazed into Tanya's eyes before closing her own eyes and entering Tanya's hot mouth with her own tongue.

'I was an emperor. I will not be humiliated in the theatre of the bedroom.'

"Penelope, can I kiss you anywhere I want?" Tanya asked deviously.

"Yes, Tanya."

"Okay." Tanya quickly moved her hands downwards and began tugging on a piece of lace fabric.

"!!!" Penelope jumped back.

"Not there~! Wait until you complete your task!" Penelope flicked Tanya on the forehead.

"Well, out of the entire school, I am the valedictorian of your heart, no?" Tanya giggled in satisfaction.

"Moving on… I heard that you will be starting swordsmanship class today."

'Nice way to ignore me.'

"Yes, do you have any wise words, Penelope? Mwummm...mmm…" Tanya quickly found her mouth on Penelope's neck, nibbling and tasting the sweetness of Penelope's soft skin.

"Ungh~ I...can… can't-" Penelope moaned in pleasure.

"Fine." Tanya stopped.

"Ah… Ah… ah… I believe it would be fine for you to place number 1 in swordsmanship class. You are more than good enough to beat an instructor with your technique. However, do note that there is a limit to how much you seperate yourself from the 2nd best. You can be the best in the class, just not too amazingly best. If you are too good, you will draw too much attention at an early stage."

"Think ahead and you will be fine." Penelope patted Tanya's head with a flustered face.

"Also, there is a famous unwritten rule in the swordsmanship class of the academy. Do note it down." With a serious look in her eyes, Penelope gazed straight into Tanya.

"If a girl is defeated in a spar, she will go on a date with the winner." She said with a serious tone.

"I will keep that in mind. It does not say anything about the winner only being a man." Tanya winked.

"I am telling you this so you will not accidentally let your guard down and be pulled into such a situation. I don't mean for you to use it as an excuse to chase more women…" Penelope slapped her own face with her hand.

'I gave her more ideas.' Penelope regretted her words so very much.

"Thank you, Penelope~ how about I give you a gift? You are always teaching me so many new things. Besides my mum and dad, you are my first kiss. You are also the first person I have slept on the same bed with. Do you want anything in particular?"

"..." Penelope began thinking very hard.

"I want you to become valedictorian."

'So cute.' Tanya smiled warmly.

"Don't worry, I will work very hard to be able to touch that place down there." Tanya grinned while slowly sliding her fingers down Penelope's abdomen.

"I want to touch your place more, but you have not fulfilled your task. So don't make me wait for nothing. As your maid, I have a duty to attend to you. I cannot attend to you in that way yet. I will have to fire myself if I am unable to fulfill that aspect of my duties~"

'A threat and encouragement… Penelope sure knows how to entice me.'
