Introducing, The Family (Part 2/4)

Rebecca Esperanza...

Yes,that was the name of the woman who ran away after looking at the sickly boy sitting on the bed.

Rebecca was a simple,unmarried woman working as a maid.

Most of her early life was spent doing nothing but housework and cleaning.She was a trained and qualified maid by the Public Workers Association(PWA),after all.

And that too at the Theocracy's most famous Blacksmith's mansion!

She had to live up to her reputation then,right!

It was better than living as a mere slave after all!

Not that it mattered now as she was way past those gruesome 15 years of her life.

However,reality was cruel as before she came to realise,most of her left over youthful years was spent doing monotonous housework,along with the Mistress of the household.

Every day was the same old job.

Cleaning,cooking, sleeping and then again it was cleaning,cooking and sleeping and nothing more.

She wanted to leave her job terribly,however considering the pay being good,her employers treating her nicely and not wanting to go back to the hell hole she came from,it became a hard decision to make in such apt conditions and luxury.

The house was not so large like the mansions and properties of the other members of the nobility and cleaning it was relatively easy.Furthermore her Master was an honourable man and not once did he look at her with lustfull eyes.

She was extremely beautiful ,even for a maid, that some people also considered her to be some Noble's bastard child.

As a result there was no shortage of suitors for her marriage ,but she had a reputation to maintain as well, considering her job as the only maid in the Theocracy's most famous Blacksmith's mansion.

So she declined all her suitors and decided to live a life of a dutiful maid.

But it was not like she wouldn't want to have a family or didn't like children in general.She would love to have one ,but it wouldn't be possible anymore as she became completely attached to a certain little boy, named Mikhaela.

Young Master Mikhaela was the heir to the Theocracy's most famous blacksmith and was also deamed as a genius at the age of 2 due to his impecable memorizing ability and his high affinity for the metal element.

Further more his father, Philip Anteino Docere was a tri-elemental blacksmith,so it was given that he would be one too.

But all of that didn't matter to the maid named Rebecca as the moment the little boy held her index finger with his chubby little hands.

She was sold ! Absolutely sold!

She felt her mind going blank as she looked at the baby in her dainty arms ,smiling and giggling at her with eyes full of purity.

She couldn't help herself and hugged the baby and decided on spot that if push comes to shove ,she would even give her life away ,for this little creature in her arms.

She understood that day,the feeling ,Mothers feel while holding their child.

That forlorn feeling of protectiveness and raging emotions of pure love.

It was a total bliss to look after a child ,despite the occasional poop and pee ofcourse.

She felt like being the child's second mother was the best job she could do ,inspite of being a maid of the house .

Those occasional kisses on her cheek and occasional running and playing in the backyard lawn of the house.

She liked giving her all to this child.

But alas her dreams were shattered down as she looked at the withered and burned figure of a 3 year old Mika on the bed,blood trailing down his delicate face,with occasional twiching involved.

She just hugged the poor child ,as she cried endlessly,staining the white bed sheets,as if she had lost her own.

She prayed regularly to Goddess ITHRA herself for the better health of mind and body for the the child and even considered using her life as a leverage.

But she was eventually stopped by her similarly distressed mistress ,before she got consumed by her madness.

The young master was cursed with acute blindness and paralysis along with a retarded mental health.

Looking at the sufferings the child was going through,she put herself together and decided to continue living on ,in the name of her self-proclaimed child,hoping that he would wake up just fine.

But as the years went by ,the relationship detoriated between her Master and Mistress.

The Master bringing home another girl and proclaiming her as his daughter,was the final nail in the coffin.

She couldn't believe that the Master she looked up to was such a cruel man.

The Mistress ,out of frustration, just drowned herself in alcohol and frantically tried recruiting healers to heal her child.

Eventually she became a target for exploitation,as the scumbags of the Theocracy tried seducing her into a relationship and tried extracting money and favours from her,in the name of helping her child.

However,Rebecca noticed the vile schemes and controversies the nobles and other people had planned to bring down the reputation of the Doecere Smithy.

So as a result,she took matters into her hands and decided being the pillar of support,before things got worse.

She took it upon herself, this duty to provide bodily warmth to her mistress, every night, as the Master had stopped visiting her due to their distressed relationship .

He was solely focused on his new mother-less bastard daughter,teaching her the ins and outs of Blacksmithing.

And just like this, the years went by.

At morning she did her dutiful job as a maid and looked after her self proclaimed child and by night ,she protected her Mistress and child from the Assassination attempts along with indulging in erotic but blissfully calming pleasures of the flesh.

The Mistress had actually rejected the idea of seeking bodily warmth with her and was virtuous enough to not seek a relationship with another man, outside her marriage,despite being under the impression of being betrayed by her husband.

But Rebecca , similarly distressed and needy,pushed her thoughts and frustrated feelings upon her Mistress,and as a result,a nights mistake ,fueled by alcohol,turned into a safe haven to find some peace of mind and solace,every night.

The Master also knew about her relationship with their maid ,but instead to getting angry,he himself requested and tasked Rebecca to look after his wife,lest she falls into some scumbags hands.

This gave her the impression that her Master might be innocent and might be under some kind of burden, considering his relationship with his self proclaimed daughter,being extremely professional,and not like a relationship a father and daughter would have.

He even used to visit his son's bed chambers , late at night and just looked at him with sad,worn down eyes ,from a dark corner of the room.

However ,she didn't pursue the matter and just continued with her work.

***

Today was a new day as well.

The morning sunrays shined though the window panes as the sunlight lit up the room.

A ocean-blue gown and a maid's dress along with with two pairs of black and white lingerie were sprawled on the floor,beside a king-sized bed.

On the bed lay two naked beauties ,one with brown lusious hair and another with short blonde hair ,sleeping soundly,hugging each other tightly.

Two big mounds with luscious pink tips were pressed and rubbing against each other,as if welcoming a man to plunge his face inside them.

However no one came ,as the both the beauties were deadly enough to even consider going near them.

Slowly, the brown haired beauty opened her delicate eyes as she freed herself from the tight embrace of the blonde lady.

She stretched her body ,as her bountiful mounds defied the natural laws of gravity,while basking in the warm sunlight of the room.

She looked like a masterpiece,which anyone would enjoy watching!

But unfortunately,no one could.

She turned around to look at the sleeping beauty beside her,looking back at her with a slight smile on her face.

The blonde lady had short but smooth and silky platinum blonde hair,along with fair and spotless skin ,she looked like a fairy form the forests of Eragor,despite being a middle-aged 40 year old woman.

With breasts,more than enough to choke a person with its softness and squishyness,and slim hourglass figure,along with angular brows ,small and delicate nose,she looked extremely pretty for a 40 year old.

With eyes as green as a forest,she looked like the incarnation of the Godess Ithra herself.

But the only speck of impurity in the perfect incarnation were her puffy eyes ,swollen from excessive crying along with darkcircles around them.

Her lips were dry and had little black pigmentations on the sides due to excessive consumption of Cigars.

But her smile was still beautiful enough to enchant the most self-proclaimed Sigma of a male.

How could anyone leave such a woman and seek romance with some else?

Well someone did or maybe... didn't.

The brown haired beauty named Rebecca,just looked at the green eyed blonde beauty and went in for a passionate kiss,early in the morning.

The blonde beauty responded with slight grin on her face as both of them embraced each other again.

Freeing each other from their embrace,Rebecca wished her mistress.

"Good Morning,Mistress Linda~"

"Hey!,not fair,I told you call me Lin when were are on the bed",said the blonde woman,while pouting.

"I apologise,but my code of conduct doesn't allow me to call you by your name."

"It also doesn't mean that you should sleep with your employer as well"Said Linda while nodding her head.

"..."

"I shall go over to do my duties for the day,Mistress .I also have to give my greetings to Young Master Mika for the day.

Now if you will excuse me",said the maid in a robotic tone.

But as soon as the word 'Mika' entered the blonde haired woman's delicate ears,her mood plummeled down as she stood up from the bed with a slight smile but with a downcast face.

Rebecca noticed such change in her behavior and immediately apologized to her mistress for her slip of tongue.

"I apologise for my rudeness , Miss"the maid bowed while picking up her clothes.

Linda just stared down at the white marble floor of her room and said in a small voice.

"Ah..it's not your fault Reb,it's just that I heard him scream last evening and found him twiching on his bed,that's why I thought may be,just may be,he was healing, that's the reasons why I..I.. "

The woman muttered while looking outside the window of her room before turning around to find her maid,fully dressed in her attire for work.

She walked towards the maid ,in her half-naked state,as she hugged her tightly while muttering in an emotional tone,

"Please check on him today ..I-I have a lingering feeling he is getting better,...I-I know it,please, you believe me, right..."

The woman just looked at the teary green eyed mother and nodded her head before heading towards the door of the room .

As the door hissed open,Rebecca looked back at the blonde haired woman looking at her disappearing back,and smiled lighty and said,

"I will."

The green eyed woman just smiled before walking into the attached bathroom,for her morning mantainance.

***

Rebecca planned on cleaning the room and checking up on young master Mika before taking a bath,as she strode through the hallway of the big but cozy mansion.

So ,she took the broomstick from the 2nd floor store room of the house along with a cleaning napkin,and water filled in a bucket and walked towards Young Master Mika's room on the ground floor.

Opening the room to her young masters bed chambers,she strode in to light up the magic fueled lamps to do her weekly cleaning of her self proclaimed child and his room.

But as she tiptoed near the bed she found Mika looking at her with his pupiless eyes ,as if peering into her soul to discern it's identity.

However those eyes looked intelligent enough and not the previously dull eyes he used to have .

Even the drool and occasional moans had stopped.

She was shocked!

But her demeanor changed to happy instantly as she threw her broomstick on the floor and ran out of the room to inform her Mistress.

Her usually stoic face was nowhere to be seen as it was maddened with a hearty and genuine smile as tear drops flowed down her delicate cheeks.

She ran up the stairs to inform everyone in the house about the miracle she Experienced today.

'Those priests are gonna be shocked',she thought cheerfully.

This would be the best day of her life as the boy she was so eagerly waiting for,had returned back to her motherly embrace.....

And it's a fantasy world so Lesbian relationships within marriages are accepted there as people are much open to trying new things,due to their somewhat long life span,even more so among nobility and wealthy people .

So it's not a Sin if it's the same gender,right!

Even more so If it's two busty women!
