"By the way, my dear Ghislaine..."
Arther came out of his thoughts as he threw away the towel she gave him and gently placed his hands on her back, bringing her close to him.
He brought his lips near her cat ears before continuing.
"I told you not to call me 'Young Master'."
Ghislaine could have struggled, but she chose not to and decided to go with the flow.
She wished to know more about this young master of hers before beating the crap out of him, as she had a fairly good impression of him.
Not to mention, she knew that every member of the Grayrat family was horny by nature. There was no way she wouldn't know that after being in party with Paul.
His horniness knew no bounds, even though that guy had a small dick by her standards. She had experienced it first when she allowed him to fuck her as a gift after Zenith accepted his proposal for marriage.
It was Paul who proposed the sex, as he saw a kick in fucking someone else behind his soon-to-be wife's back.
To her as a beast, this wasn't a big deal, as beasts believed in not restraining their desires. She felt like having sex, so she did.
Of course, she didn't know that her soon-to-be sex partner was going to make her his cockslave. She wouldn't be able to even think about any other cock, much less touch after getting knocked up by her supposed 'next' partner.
She would end up becoming an extremely devoted and loyal wife and a dedicated cockslave.
Coming back to the scene, Ghislaine looked at Arther as his hands grabbed her tight ass lightly.
Her breathing was extremely calm, as if this were not a big deal for her, as she looked into Arther's eyes and replied, "I am sorry for that, youn-err-Arther. That won't happen again."
"Yes, I will appreciate that, dear." Arther smiled gently at her reply before completely releasing her.
"Also, I am sorry for touching your buttocks. You are just so stunning that I couldn't control myself there. You see, you are simply too close to my ideal woman, and I am sure you know how much I admire beast women."
"Yes, I have heard that from your mother. But…"
Ghislaine seemed to be hesitant to say something, which caused Arther's smile to stop as he looked at her deeply with a gleam in his eyes.
"But?"
Ghislaine suddenly felt a wisp of killing intent coming towards her, which caused goosebumps all across her body. She actually pulled her sword halfway through, but Arther's hand stopped her.
"!?"
Finally, she came back to her senses as her beast instincts calmed down. She silently looked at Arther as she replied,
"I know you don't trust me and were trying to test me."
As she spoke, she could feel the killing intent emanating from Arther increasing.
'How could a five-year-old have this much killing intent? Weren't five years supposed to party and fuck around?'
Yeah, it was a Mana-based world, so five years were capable of fucking. By ten years, or their second birthday, most boys left home to train, and by fifteen, or their third birthday, they were considered full-fledged adults.
Nevertheless, Ghislaine removed all those thoughts and continued, "Listen to me, Arther. I know you don't trust anyone except your mother, but I promise upon Millis herself that I am not your enemy."
"You should know I do not trust some fake god." Arther stated as he started releasing his Touki and, at the same time, started moving his hands to draw his sword.
"You will not be able to beat me, Arther. So stop."
"Oh, did you think that I didn't know that? It seems you have forgotten that [Technique God] has taken me as his disciple."
Ghislaine was left in a dilemma after hearing this. She knew if Arther's words were true, then her actions would definitely have extremely bad consequences, but if she didn't, then she might as well die right now.
"I will say this again, Arther, I. AM. NOT. YOUR. ENEMY!" She desperately responded.
"Say that to someone who has not been betrayed by virtually everyone since the day he was born. I don't even trust myself at this point.
So either give me concrete proof that you are not here to harm me or my mother, or else face consequences."
"Your mother wouldn't want us fighting. I am really here to protect you. I swear upon my very name."
"Prove it to me." Arther simply replied in four simple words.
"Fuck." Ghislaine cursed.
Of course she knew how much the boy was hurting from all of this; she could clearly see all of it in his eyes with her [Demon Eye of Mana].
This [Demon Eye] had many powerful abilities, like enhancing her strength, endurance, stamina, and senses. But its main ability was to see through the flow of Mana and basically read a person's emotions.
His heart was really infatuated with her, or, at a deeper level, as if he were in love with her.
It was only because of this that she tolerated all his transgressions until now. She thought the kid fell in love with her on first sight.
But at the same time, she couldn't completely see through the fog of Mana around and in him, causing her to believe that his mind was constantly overpowering anything his heart believed.
His mind was basically acting as if the entire world were his enemy.
'It is highly dangerous! In the event that Hilda somehow dies and he loses all self-control, the world might as well be facing someone even more terrifying than the Demon King Laplace.'
Ghislaine couldn't help but think that if the boy really got trained by [Technique God], even if his potential was trash, he was bound to become at least a God-level figure in his generation.
'Much less him, it already feels like he has extreme potential. After all, it feels as if he has an infinite supply of Mana in his pool. Even Laplace was said to only have a big Mana Pool, but his…
She could feel that Arther's Mana was nearly infinite!
It meant that Laplace couldn't even hold a candle to him.
This realisation both scared and excited her. She wanted to see him grow and wanted to be a part of his journey.
At the same time, she didn't want to see him end up becoming the greatest threat to virtually every race in this world, unlike Laplace, who only hated humans.
"What can I do to gain your trust, Arther?"
Ghislaine quickly said that and sensed fluctuations in Arther's heart. It seemed something could work out in between them.
Arther was stunned upon hearing her response and thought for a second before replying:
"Sign a [Spirit Contract] with me and become a spirit of mine. Of course, a temporary one where you only need to have one condition, and that is to not harm me or my mother. That's it.
I am not asking you to be my slave or anything; in fact, you should know that a [Spirit Contract] with such conditions is worse for me as you are not a real spirit."
Upon hearing his response, Ghislaine considered the pros and cons of Arther's proposal.
'Well, what he said is indeed true since I am not a spirit. It will be an immense strain on him to maintain a contract. It's honestly beneficial to me, isn't it?'
With her thoughts cleared, she asked, "Can you even perform a Saint-level Summoning spell like that?"
"Yes. I can."
She was a bit flustered hearing that Arther, a five-year-old, was a Saint in the Summoning Magic branch.
"I-I see. Then perform it. Let's make a contract."
She didn't say anything else to Arther, like asking to keep the integrity of the contract, as she would realise it easily by seeing through his Mana if he tried to cheat her.
"Alright. Hold my hand."
Arther asked Ghislain to hold his hands as they stood facing each other.
At the same time, Mana around Arther started glowing in deep silver and formed long, thick tentacles before spreading throughout Ghislaine's body. It reached every inch of her body as it slowly lifted her up.
Her hands were still in contact with Arther's, but the Mana tentacles grasped her entire body. Each of her boobs was played with two tentacles; one tentacle was making its way inside her pussy while another was drilling itself into her asshole.
Her body felt extremely hot as it absorbed Arther's essence.
"Open your mouth now!"
She opened her mouth as per Arther's command as a thick silver tentacle entered her mouth, feeding her essence.
She felt discomfort slowly, below her left breast and just above her pussy. A tattoo slowly formed at her abdomen with characters [ARTHER]. It was slightly visible too, due to Ghislaine's choice of clothes.
Also, a tiny dragon tattoo developed beneath the left breast. The dragon had an unusually long tail in relation to its body size. The dragon's tail extended down to her ass and covered one side of her back like a long blade.
With the contract almost over, Ghislaine felt a lightness radiate from her body, almost like an orgasm.
As the contract reached its final stage, Arther pulled the tentacle out of Ghislaine's mouth before bringing her mouth closer to his and placing his lips on hers.
He deeply kissed her and exchanged saliva with Ghislaine, who seemed to be in a trance. After a minute of enjoying himself, he released her as the contract was completed.
She was now a spirit of Arther's.
'And she was tricked into it!' He mused with an evil grin.
Of course, Ghislaine didn't realise that it was a spirit contract that essentially made Arther her master. Not one bit like what he described to her.
Huff! Huff!
"Now you believe me." After taking a few breaths to control the surge of power inside her, she asked.
"Yes. My dear, I now completely believe you. Now we are a family after all." He answered wholeheartedly.
Seeing him eased Ghislaine's heart too. It seemed the boy had formed an extremely personal connection with her.
"You are now like my wife, Ghislaine-dear, so I swear I will try my best to honour you and our relationship. And when I am strong enough and have enough trust in you, I promise I will release you.
Then it will be up to your choice if you would like to be with me or not. Still, from the bottom of my heart, I am thankful."
Arther declared as he bowed his head towards her, causing her to look at him with bewilderment. She didn't expect him to be so respectful of her.
"It seems you really value your relationships."
"Yes. I only have my mother as a relative, and I have fallen in love with her, but I am not sure if I should even say that to her or if it is even appropriate or not.
Apart from that, you are my only relative. Even though you are in a spirit relationship with me, to me, you are my wife, and I will do anything in my power to make sure no harm comes to our relationship."
Fufu!
"You are an interesting being."
Her eyes could see sincerity in his eyes. Not the usual lust towards her body that almost everyone else had.
"But if you want me to be your wife, then work hard. You have to become extremely strong to become my man.
Also, don't feel guilty about your feelings towards your mother. There is nothing wrong with that, and who knows, maybe one day she will also become your wife."
She teased Arther a bit, which caused his face to redden.
"You-You playful lady-wolf..."
And that's how Arther tricked the rowdy beast of Jobless Reincarnation to be his wif—*Kuhum!*—spirit.
