After completing 30 kilometres of jogging, I sighed while sitting on the grassy ground, fully covered with sweat.
Rachel didn't have her usual maid dress on as she stretched a little bit beside me. She wore a blue full-sleeve T-shirt and matching leggings which didn't hide her curves and accentuated a modern lady charm which seemed to tempt a man's desire.
[Well... She certainly has quite a large butt and that had really excited me more than once, but when compared to Princess Veronica she fell short only on the size of the breasts.]
My thoughts did not last long as I noticed some other boys peeking at her from afar. Their actions made me realize how alluring she really is.
My eyes sharpened as I gave them a death glare. When they felt my glare, they turned their heads automatically. They started to whistle and walked away quickly.
~sigh~ [What was that... Am I feeling jeo... No no no I certainly like Princess Veronica and thinking of any other woman is outright betrayal.]
My roots of thought have grown from the soil of my family values. And on those values, my father had laid our kingdom's foundation when he became the king.
[My head is probably clouded by lust again. Yes, that's the reason for my sudden erection when I saw her butt.]
I took the meditative position but before I could close my eyes, I saw Rachel's big butt in front of me in a 'downwards dogs stretch' pose.
My eyes widened and my not-so-little member twitched. I instinctively tried to press down my rock-hard erection with both hands. But it increased my desire to just stimulate and release whatever was holding my member back.
My breathing got ragged and hot as saw her sweat-covered clothes stuck to her skin, making her underwear's outline somewhat visible.
Thoughts in my mind were already running wild. While a desire to touch and eat the juicy peach in front of me bloomed.
[I...]
But suddenly a figure, an individual's figure came into my mind which stopped me from reaching my hands for the juicy fruit.
It was the figure of a girl my age who had a beautiful smile on her face and a little blush on her cheeks. Her milky white skin tone, her purple hair, her hazel blue eyes, everything felt like an art of a divine being.
Just as a thought came to my mind, the system buzzed. This happens when I unlock or gain some new technique or complete proficiency.
With a thought a honey-coloured system screen popped open and I saw the information.
<'At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet'>
I chose NO with a confused look, my decision was clear from the start about the profession but what I was contemplating was how I got this profession.
[Is it because of what I had felt a while ago?]
[NO]
After a little bit of thinking, I finally concluded as to why I got this profession. But then I remembered the place and position I was in.
I looked at the peachy-butt maid, who was still stretching but in a different pose.
~sigh~ [Thank god.]
I stood up as my member was already asleep, I scanned my surroundings and found some boys were still looking from afar.
"Rachel, are you done?"
"Yes, your Highness." she said and also stood up.
"After you, Your Highness." she gestured respectfully to me.

Today's academy routine went uneventful except for some ideal chat with Princess.
I walked inside the carriage with Rachel, I was dressed in my training attire and Rachel was in her usual maid dress, her black hair in a bun and black eyes as deep as an ocean.

[Can an unselected profession really give this type of effect?].
"Your Highness this is the report, Dark Moon had submitted just a while ago." She gave me the report in hand and ordered the coachman to take it slow.
As started reading the content, many missing pieces were hidden in came out like frogs in the rain.
[So they want copper.]
"Rachel, who teaches Metallurgy course in the academy?"
"Mr. Samson, your Highness."
"Okay, make a free schedule for me tomorrow."
"Yes, Your Highness."
Soon after we reached the Royal Mansion in the imperial capital, we made our way towards the training hall. Where a familiar person was sitting in a chair, one hand on the hilt of the sheathed sword.
She had the aura of a king. The sword in her hand, the style, the posture, the clothes everything screamed the majesty of a true ruler.
___
"Greetings Maa." his highness greeted and I bowed in respect as we stood in front of the one and only queen of Divine Sword Kingdom. And the mother of his highness, Queen 'Sahi Divy Veer'.
She had the same blonde hair as His Highness but a different eye colour, his Highness's eyes were purple and the queen's eyes were red like blood.
She nodded in response and gestured to his highness to start. As His Highness started to do some warm-up stretches, the queen glanced at me.
"Your Majesty, there are no severe deviations in his highness's diet and routine but I think..." Giving my report I paused in between.
"But what?"
"No, nothing Your Majesty, I am just overthinking some things."
"Hum... Keep observing his diet and monitor his routine carefully, don't let some princess make him stray away from discipline."
"Yes, Your Majesty." I said in a firm tone and bowed a little with a smile.
Sometimes later, while the royal mother and son duo trained together. I sat in the corner with a new 'Magic magazine' which was recently published by the Magician Tower.
To me, their training seems like a dance. In which His Majesty the Queen pushes his highness to improve his steps, his moves, his stance and his posture with every movement.
[Maybe I should ask his highness to teach me a sword sometime.]
Focusing on the magazine now, I read the new project Magic Tower was going to start.
"Magic Rail is one of the new projects, Magic Tower is going to start. This project is one of the projects that was allowed by the Emperor after many debates and discussions in the imperial court."
[What is this thing, that was so debatable for the imperial court fogies?]
As I continued to read further I realized, why they had so much discussion and disputes over this.
"This invention can bring revolution to the Empire and demise at the same time." I muttered.
The article states that this Magic Rail is a vehicle, like a carriage but it has a high carrying capacity, carries large wagons and can travel long distances.
But on the other hand, it will have limited flexibility and high operating costs at the beginning. It can also be used by the commoners so the risk of hijacking by bandits and accidents caused by beasts can cause some heavy losses.
I frowned as I read some more.
[Raijin Empire is also collaborating on this project!!!]
This was quite shocking because the 'Raijin Empire' was the reason for yesterday's meeting and now this.
Unlike our empire which is the sole ruler of the entire southern continent. North Eastern Continent or the Eastern Continent has two empires, the first Raijin Empire and the second Fujin Empire.
[I am worried that his highness might lose patience in this matter.]
~sigh~
I sighed and glanced towards the training duo, they had picked up pace for quite a while.
I activated my skill 'Zoom' and a small pink-coloured magic circle appeared in my eyes for a microsecond and vanished.
'Zoom' is an E-rank skill, mostly used for scouting purposes. But some perverts use it for peeping too.
I saw his highness fall, roll and stand again in a fighting stance. His sweat trickled down his sharp jawline and his sleeves stuck to his arms showing his sculpted biceps. With every movement, his biceps show his body cuts.
But suddenly Queen Sahi came between my vision and blocked my view.
Her long blond hair swayed but not too much, showing her firm control over her movements. Even though his highness was sweating buckets and was on the verge of exhaustion, the queen still had her majestic appearance with no hint of fatigue or tiredness in her expression.
She cartwheeled to the left while dodging the incoming sword of his highness.
I was startled when she suddenly turned towards me with narrowed eyes, her gaze seemed to strip me naked and pass through the wall to see beyond.
While blocking his Highnesses sword strike without looking she gave him a front kick which made him flung towards the wall.
The wooden sword in her hand gleamed in a red translucent light. She slashed one horizontally and two crosses with her sword. The first one pushed me down and the other slashes passed above me.
Breaking the walls of the royal mansion the red slashes kept travelling at a speed I couldn't comprehend.
I was stunned, seeing the power of the strongest sword user of the Empire. My eyes were open in shock and my brain was still trying to comprehend the incident.
[I saw her slash five times, no... I can only see her five slashes.]
Her striking speed was so much fast, that I had seen only five slashes and only due to 'Zoom' skill having some effects on my eyes.
"Rachel, are you okay?" His Highness shouted from near the other wall, trying to stand up while holding his stomach with his right hand.
"What are you doing Maa?" He shouted again, this time at the Queen.
I tried to regain my calm and while trembling I stood up and saw her. She was still looking in my direction, this time with a scowl.
"Son, pardon me. I need to finish some work." She said in a beautiful voice but the feeling of dread in her words made a chill run down my spine and possibly his highnesses too.
She started levitating in the air and suddenly shot towards the direction of the attack.
[What is this? What just happened? She didn't use any mana in both the attack and in levitating!!!]
My heart was still beating faster but after a moment I regained some of my calm and heard his highnesses shouts.
"Rachel-Rachel, are you okay, answer me..."
