"Kiera… Please I need this, Kiera…"
Miera's pleasing voice could be heard from within the kitchen of Flower Manor, who'd just happened to be passing by, poked her head through the hallway to see what was going on the kitchen
Me and the archers had finished training outside the manor, Natalie was exhausted from the training because I beat her in a duel easily. Now, we were passing by at the hallway where we saw two maids that appears to be Miera and Kiera, the famous sisters in Flower Manor
"You can't, Miera. I told you already, one per person" Kiera said to her younger sister
"Lady Roxy doesn't need her share. She eaten too may pastries earlier. Please, let me have just one more!"
"No means no! Lady Roxy will be mad if she found out only her share was missing! You already ate the extra I made to taste test, please be generous from our vice-leader"
We and the archers hid behind the corner of the hallway, eavesdropping their conversation as the fight grew on. The members were burst out laughing when we heard the siblings argument
"Hahaha, this is one of the best argument I have ever seen!" I muttered quietly
As the members burst out laughing silently at the corner, we continued listening,
"But your cupcakes are just so delicious, Kiera…"
"Hahaha, I'm glad you like them. Still, I can't give you more"
"Kiera, please!" Miera shows an cute expression
"What are you, a little kid?"
Miera tugged on Kiera's cute maid dress, looking up at the older sister with pleading eyes. Right now, she was certainly acting like she was a little girl
"Wow… Miera let's herself act really spoiled around Kiera, I guess they've gotten even closer after I set out a picnic party…" I muttered
"Wait, you been in a picnic party with the maids. Damn, I was so jealous from you now, Lady Roxy" Natalie replied
When I first met Miera and Kiera, Kiera had been the responsible older sister while Miera is the carefree, chaotic younger sister. But now their roles seems reversed. Still, despite their admonitions, Kiera didn't seem all annoyed by Miera's pleading. There was actually a smile on her lips and her maid dress flopping back and forth.
Her happiness was understandable, considering Miera had only shown this side of herself to Lady White before. The fact that she was acting this underguarded around Kiera meant that she is a protective older sister that loves her the fullest. And considering how much Kiera lives her little sister, it was only natural she'd be happy about that.
"Hmph! Who's more important to you? Me or Lady Roxy?"
"Oh, come on, are you really going to do this again? I hate questions like that."
"What!? Goodness gracious Kiera. If you won't give me special treatment, then this is what you get!"
Miera ran her hands all over Kiera's soft breasts, making her legs go weak. Blushing and left out a cute moan, Kiera nevertheless launched a counter attack and started tickling her little sister's thighs. The two continued horsing around for a few minutes, completely oblivious to the outside world.
"Huh? Hey Miera? Quit squeezing my boobs! You know I'm sensitive there! Hey, cut it out!"
"It's fine! It's not like it's hurting you!"
"When did you become such a pervert, Miera?"
As me and my members burst out laughing silently around the corridors. Natalie lend out a loud laugh that heard both the maids on duty
"Huh? Who is that?"
As the two maids heard a giggle through the corridors, they began to check it out. Going to the place we hid through the hallways. We need to act fast
"Damn you, Natalie… your too noisy, we're about to get caught" Ned whispered at the group
"Oh shit, once I get caught… I might get kicked out the manor. Ned, quickly use conceal" Barry asks Ned
Ned has a concealment skill, it is a human skill that he possess, it will remain invisible for less than a minute, making a wide area of people remain undetected. Ned uses his skill to make us invisible
As the maids approached at the hallway we once hid. Ned concealment skill activates just in time, leaving us undetected and not get caught. While the maid was left in a confused look
"What is it, Miera?"
"Oh, it's nothing, I swear there's something in this hallway"
"Well, let's better get going Kiera, we need to serve these pastries from the dining room"
"Good idea, we must fulfill out duties that was give by Lady White"
After that, they abandoned the search and soon proceeds to the dining room in the Flower Manor, holding a tray full of pastries. They left there hurriedly as I and members were almost got caught.
I was a little envious of how easily Meira was able to impose on other people. She'd only just learned to be more honest with her feelings, and the good news is that, me and my fellow archers didn't caught by Natalie's loud giggle
"I guess we shouldn't intrude. Better get out of here before they realize we been watching. I have to say though, Kiera looks really cute when she was acting all spoiled"
"Great idea, let's leave this place and meet ourselves to the dining room"
Sometime later, the fragrance of tea and pastries alerted everyone in the manor that tea time was here, The members of the guild including the servants all sprinted towards the dining room
"Digs in guys!"
"Wow, some wonderful cupcakes"
As the members are all seated, Kiera handed out the tray full of cupcakes, it was colorful as well as smelling it incredible, like a freshly baked bread that comes out in a oven. Our mouth drooled in hunger
"Mmm, these are pretty good. Nice job, Kiera!" White said
"They are really delicious, this is the best cupcake I have ever tasted" I added and said
Kiera smiled bashfully as White and the other guild members showered her with praise. Veer and the others complimented her as well, which made her eyebrows raised as she blushed. Natalie, too praises Miera's cooing, but her attention was more focused to Miera, her little sister
Meanwhile, Miera took her small fork, cut out a small portion on one of the cupcakes, and brought it equally small mouth. After a few seconds of chewing and swallowing, she said blissfully "Mmm… delicious"
Smiling, Miera reached out of her teacup. She savored the tea's fragrance for a few seconds, then brought the cup to her lips and took a sip
"I didn't realize it before, but Miera is more refined. Or maybe elegant is a better word to describe her, the once chaotic Miera from one of the hallways suddenly changed in an instant" I said to Natalie
Natalie, who was sitting beside me, responded quickly while maintaining it's whisper,
"She doesn't normally come off this way, but when she's eating and stuff, you can tell she was raised as a noble" Natalie said
As Natalie words were true, does it mean that the two sisters were raised in a rich family as White, as from my hypothesis, she and her sister had a traumatic past, leaving their siblings bond more deeper.
From my perspective, Miera's manner of eating and drinking seemed really dignified. In fact, I found myself captivated by Miera's graceful and beautiful demeanor.
But more to that, she was envious. Before she knew it, I was trying to copy Miera's mannerisms. Thanks to her years in training, she had confidence in her posture at least. Keeping an eye on Miera, I straightened my back, rested my legs at a perfect angle, and did my best to warp my fingers as gracefully as possible around the handle of my teacup. Then, I brought the cup to my lips and closed my eyes, savoring the taste of the tea.
"I wonder is I'm doing it right? I can't really tell. If I want to practice. I'll need to do it in front of a mirror…" I said through my thoughts
As I practiced my gentle posture gracefully, Plasma interrupted through my mind
"What stupidity are you doing, Roxy… getting a boast of yourself, huh? What a sly girl, you will never perfect that posture" Plasma said in a manly tone
"Shut up, Plasma!"
As hearing Plasma's response, I slowly opened my eyes just to find Miera staring at me, face-to-face.
"Oh my you startled me, Miera!"
"Lady Roxy, are you okay!?"
Natalie quickly held out a handkerchief as I started choking on my tea. Embarrassed by my extremely inelegant reaction, I blushed a little. I thanked Natalie and took the handkerchief from her. I could tell that Miera was still staring at me. A second later, Miera got to her feet and pattered over to where Natalie and I are sitting. She stepped in front of Natalie and looked down on her
"Huh? What is it, Miera?"
"Natalie, may I excuse for a moment?"
Before Natalie could finish her question, Miera asked her to take a seat next to White, the very same seat she'd been sitting in moments ago, she sat down next to mine. With a vagueful unwanted expression of mine. After I had a simple chat with Plasma, this happened…
"Umm, Miera, Why…?"
"Lady Roxy, aren't you going to drink your tea?"
"Huh? Oh umm…"
They would have been less surprised if someone had told them the world was ending tomorrow. Miera was staring at my half-full cup of tea. After a few seconds, she looked up into my eyes mad repeated her question
"Aren't you going to drink your tea?"
"I-i will…"
Buckling under the pressure. I reached out from my teacup. The whole time, Miera stared intently at mine.
"It was so awkward, I can't drink my tea like this…" I said through my thoughts
It was doubly difficult because I had been mimicking Miera's refined mannerisms. Nervous, my hand started shaking, rattling her teacup and saucer
"Calm down, you have a good posture already, Lady Roxy, so you shouldn't have any trouble. Just bring you arm back a little and pay more attention to the position of your fingers. And instead of bringing your mouth to the cup, bring the cup to the mouth."
It was no help for Plasma, Miera has been teaching me about her mannerisms one by one, like a rule book or an instruction manual
Miera rested her hands on my arms and gently adjusted her posture.
"Umm, like this?"
"Mmm, good… you have a very pretty form."
Miera smiled as she patted at my head like a teacher praising an exceptionally gifted student
"Thank you, Miera!"
I blushed again, feeling equal parts happy and embarrassed. She was amazed that Miera can do both act like a chaotic little sister and a gentle teacher. Though Miera looked like she was barely in her teens, I couldn't imagine treating her like someone older than her. She just seemed too wise and charming for that. It was a little wonder that men and woman alike found Miera captivating.
Then, Natalie stood up beside me, ready to acclaim her seat
"Hey Miera, can I sit here now?"
"Sure, I was just teaching your friend some table manners"
