Chapter 822 822 Early Mornings
As promised, Wolfe did not stop the process until he was certain that her body couldn’t adapt any more for the evening, and she was getting perilously close to Rank Four.
Reiko herself had long since lost consciousness, though she would wake up pleading and moaning every half hour or so until he finally finished in the early hours of the morning. That left him entirely too little time to sleep, but Reiko’s fidgeting brought him back to the real-world bright and early.
“It can’t be time to get up yet.” He mumbled, then poured a bit of mana into the witch to make her stop moving.
“Oh, Goddess. Don’t do that when I’m trying to get dressed, or I’ll need another shower. It’s fifteen minutes to breakfast, you need to get up and get clean so we can get the negotiations going.” Reiko informed him in an unamused tone.
Wolfe sat up and patted her on the head, making Reiko shudder and blush, though he wasn’t transferring any mana.
“Fine. Let’s get the important stuff out of the way first. Do we know when Mary is set to arrive?” Wolfe asked.
“In about ten minutes. She is on her way already, but she’s using one of the planes and not a flight spell. Your helicopter has returned to its regular duties as well, so you will need to fly everyone home when you are finished, or call for another ride.” Reiko explained with a smile.
“That’s fine. I will be making the new airport before we go, and then I will be taking a team to go deal with the troublemakers. It’s easier if I go personally, just to make sure that there aren’t any of the mages from another world wandering around causing issues.
From what I know, there might be two worlds that are capable of coming to this one. Though it might be just the one, since the other has just been seen in the Demon Realms.” Wolfe agreed as he walked to the shower.
Reiko didn’t even notice when her new Fae advisor walked in, until the woman began to speak.
“Nice ass for a Saint, right?” She whispered in Reiko’s ear.
“It’s not what you think? He was helping grow my power? Look at me, I’ve gained nearly two Ranks overnight.” Reiko stammered.
“First off, congratulations. Secondly, I can read minds. Even from the other side of a soundproofing spell.” The Advisor informed her with a smirk.
“Forget anything you heard last night, please. I do not need him finding out.” Reiko whispered.
“He already knows. Why do you think he did it? But seriously, you need to get a hold of yourself. If you orgasm from the lingering mana imbalance every time he touches you, someone is going to notice.” The Fae advised.
“It will settle down soon. Just give the mana a few hours to settle, and the sensitivity will fade, I’m certain of it.” Reiko stammered.
Reiko didn’t want it to fade, but she couldn’t just abandon her Coven to go play house with a Magi who already had at least two wives. Or was that like seven of them now? She wasn’t quite sure of the relationship between him and the others who had arrived last night.
Wolfe came out of the bathroom in silver and black formal robes, and the Advisor moved to intercept him before he could take Reiko’s hand to lead her out to breakfast.
“How about you escort me today?” She asked.
“But of course. We can’t have you feeling left out. Plus, there is someone waiting for our lovely Coven Leader on the other side of the door.” Wolfe laughed.
He unlocked the door, and Mary nearly tumbled inside, as she had been leaning against it, waiting for them to get ready.
“Reiko! Come, there is cake for breakfast.” She announced as she grabbed her friend by the hand and pulled her down the hallway.
Wolfe shook his head as he watched them run away. “You get used to her. Well, at least somewhat. But now that they won’t be stopping her from returning, expect to see a lot of Mary. The two of them have been friends for quite some time, and once Reiko became the Coven Leader, Mary was one of the few friends she still had access to. Until Mary left for Forest Grove, that is.”
The Advisor nodded in understanding. “I met Mary during my time in Forest Grove. I was a school teacher, remember? She does a lot of work with the children of the city, especially the orphans, and makes sure that they have everything they need, including someone to talk to.”
The breakfast meeting was just the advisors and the department heads that worked under the Council, all of whom had prepared a statement regarding the potential deal, or something that their team believed should be covered in the negotiations.
The Fortress City needed too many things, and it would be impossible for them all to be included in one meeting, but with the Advisor planning to renovate the entire city, and the trade goods coming in from everywhere else, most of these complaints could actually be solved in the next few months.
But first, Reiko needed to get past everyone’s shock at her having advanced by a Rank overnight, and the gossip that would spread about just why that would be, when Wolfe was well known to have produced many other powerful witches.
The advisors were waiting for her to say something, as even the male witches could sense the power level of an aura, so there wasn’t anyone in the room that was unaware of the change.
Reiko took a sip of juice as she gathered her thoughts, the did a double take at the flavour. The juice was produced by the Advisor early this morning. She had used her magic to grow an entire tree full of potent magical oranges from her homeland, as she did not like coffee, which was the Morgana traditional breakfast drink.
“Alright, I can see the judgment. Yes, I advanced last night, and I am close to reaching Rank Four already. Yes, it was with the help of Saint Wolfe Noxus, but no, it was not whatever lewd and scandalous thing your minds have been imagining. It is a secret technique of the Magi, and it has done wonders for my growth, as you can see.” She informed them, as if daring them to say what they were thinking.
The Agriculture Minister was the first to speak. “Congratulations, Coven Leader. You are positively glowing this morning, and with this advancement, Morgana Coven has regained much of their respectability in the region.”
Indeed, they had. With a Rank Three leader, they were at least on par with everyone else, and once Reiko reached Rank Four, they would be a proper regional power, on par with the protectors of the smaller villages.
But what the others were thinking was that if Wolfe stayed and brought her up to Rank Five like the other Witches he had around him, Morgana Coven would be on its way to becoming a proper superpower again, as the Coven Leader’s power was much like Wolfe’s, in that it helped to feed the growth of their Coven Members when she led ceremonies.
