MC's POV
After I and grandfather came back from the run, I went back to my room for rest in the castle. I laid on the bed and started planning and thinking about my future. Considering the amount of information I had my current most pressing concern was the talent I would awaken on my tenth birthday.
I had learned about the people who had no affinity with any element and were shunned and disdained by everybody. They were known by the term "Etherless" and it was a taboo term specially in well renowned mage families like the Mistborn family or the Stormborne family of the Dark North city. Even though I was quite confident in my talent I was still getting a little nervous as every ambition and my goals were dependent on this aspect.
According to the knowledge I have gained till now there was no way to artificially induce or increase someone's talent or change their affinity. But I was not the one to give up so easily and I had decided that if my talent was not up to the mark or I was declared etherless , I would venture into the Eastern Barbarian region to learn the body refinement techniques of the barbarians there.
I had learned that they were able to forcefully induce elemental power in their body's muscles , bones and veins in conjunction with specially designed ascension techniques to match the power of the top mages around the world. Thinking this exhaustion overcame me and I slept for a good half of a day when I was woken up by vigorous shaking. Annoyed I opened my eyes to see Clara standing beside the bed and looking me with urgency,
"Young master the mistress is going to arrive anytime and you have not showered yet from your outdoor activities, she is surely going to be displeased!", she exclaimed with her wide open beautiful green eyes. Hearing that I jumped up from the bed and was going to go to the shower when she spoke something and lifted me in her lap,
"Young master let me wash you", I smiled inwardly but put a unwilling expression and said something that made her laugh,
"I have become older and I don't need to be washed by anyone in the shower". She put a slim finger on my nose and said with a smile ,
"No Young Master, this is my duty and mistress would be unhappy if I allowed you to do that". I reluctantly agreed and she carried me to the shower carrying me close to her bosom. I instinctively smelled her bosom and contentedly put my face between her breasts. Clara blushed a little but when I looked up she was looking at me with a smile.
Clara's POV
I was very happy today because I was carrying the young master towards the shower and opportunities like these were rare since past 1 or 2 years. I love the young master very much as I had cared for him from the time he was a baby and fulfilled all his needs when mistress was away for her work. He had always been very attached with me as I had even let him suck by breasts when he missed the mistress during the long days.
This peculiar emotion is very precious to me as I didn't have anyone who was so attached and dependent with me.
MC's POV
When we reached the expansive shower she first stripped me naked and put my clothes on the rack for its cleaning. Then she prepared a foam filled bath with her water magic and the natural produced soap used by our family. She lifted me on her lap and started washing my body, but I suddenly caught her hand and asked her something,
"You get naked too Clara, your dress will be wet and you can get cold if you continue to wash me like this", I commanded in a even tone and left no room for questioning. She was a little stunned by my instructions and tone as if she could not believe how I a cute and obedient child had such a demeanour. But she complied and started stripping. I was excited inside but kept a normal face and played with the bubbles like a normal child while she stripped.
But my eyes were glued to her bra and flower-printed panties. She finally stripped completely and came down in the bath tub full of foam. I swam to her side and dived in to her breasts as she cleaned me. I simply hugged her and didn't roam my hands as to not arouse any suspicions. She lightly smiled and only saw this as a child's attachment. While she was cleaning my buttocks I was a little embarrassed as I was still an adult from inside.
"I will also wash you Clara", I said smilingly while looking up, she hesitated but agreed. I then moved to her back and started roaming my hands across her soft and porcelain back. She had an hourglass figure with neither being too fat or too thin. I then moved my hands to her front and grabbed her breasts and started squeezing them and pinching her nipples, she suddenly kept her hands on her mouth and let out some muffled moans,
"Do they feel heavy Clara as you work daily? You know boys don't have breasts so I was curious", I asked a childish question innocently though I was slyly smiling on the inside. She was about to reply when some noise came from outside of the shower and I heard the door's opening.
