Reincarnated as a Son of the Sword Saint and the Sage

309  Mother's Kinda Weird

Once they were convinced to be my servants, Mr. Kauffman then brought Mathilda's cousin to us for evaluation. But upon seeing her in person, she was apparently as beautiful as Mathilda described, and then she was sold to me as well. Mathilda's maternal cousin was named Natasha Claret. She was the daughter of a baron and was hired as Mathilda's personal maid. Their mothers were siblings, so there were resemblances between them. Natasha had chest-length burgundy red hair that was tied up in a half bun. She had a voluptuous body with prominent breasts. Unlike Mathilda's wine-red gaze, Natasha had purple eyes. Due to her eyeglasses, Natasha was giving off the vibe of a strict and serious woman. She had been maintaining her reserved expressions since the start, after all. But I don't think she could maintain that face in bed. As for Mathilda's daughter, her name was Colette, and she apparently inherited her mother's redheadedness. She was only ten years old, so I don't have any romantic interest in her. Hopefully, she would get along with Mabel and Yuki. After we got out of the slave store, Big Sis, our new servants, and I went to a nearby boutique to buy the ladies some clothes and, of course, some lingerie. It was too embarrassing for a man to stay in such stores, so I patiently waited outside. Naturally, I waited for more than an hour outside, wondering the vicinity, before they finally got out of the shop with their new dresses on while holding bags of clothes. Their aristocratic demeanor still lingered on them, so their behaviors were so classy that no one could think that those gorgeous women were my slaves. Once they dressed themselves up, we next went to the place of my acquaintance, the newly knighted Sir Rick, and stayed in his mansion to have lunch. The ladies were surprised that I am friends with the kingdom's biggest superstar. Not long after we satisfied our palates, we eventually bid farewell to Rick and his colleagues, who were actually Rick's clones. If they were my clone's clones, should I call them my grandclones? Well, anyway, we actually visited Rick's residence so that I could privately use Portal to transport us directly to our main mansion—specifically, to our teleportation room in the basement.

Upon arriving at the basement, the nine of us ascended to the first floor in line. Big Sis took the lead as I was the last one to step on the marble floor. On the first floor, we were greeted by Mom, Mother, Sophia, Gabrielle, and Mary. Everything seemed fine, but for some reason, Mother was kind of off today. There was a somewhat awkward air around her, and that smile was probably forced. Anyway, they were glad that we finally got home with souvenirs. As soon as we got here, Sarah had been smiling at Mary, her younger sister. But like Mother, Mary seemed to be acting strange and had been averting her eyes from her sister with flushed cheeks. Mary was probably excited to see her sister but tried to hide it.

"Welcome back, Raphael, Louise."

"Good afternoon, Mom."

"Thank you for receiving us, Mom." Big Sis and I responded, respectively. "And it looks like you got a big haul today." Mom then glanced at the women from left to right. "And they are children as well." "Good afternoon, Lady Claire, Lady Gabrielle, and Marchioness Mylene Raevender." The ladies, including the two girls, immediately bobbed their bodies, slightly pinched their skirts up, and bowed before my family, with Mathilda representing the group. They had been practicing their courtesy at Rick's place, so they were able to execute it graciously. "Good afternoon to you too, ladies. Standing here would be tiring, so how about continuing the discussion in another room?" ◆◇◆◇◆◇

The discussion was transferred to the parlor, but the children were toured through the mansion so that we could freely disclose sensitive matters. My new servants had finished introducing themselves to Mom and Mother. But Mother was still acting weird and silent the whole time. We were done explaining to them the rules and policies of this household and had told them what their jobs were and their schedules. But we told them they would not be working in this mansion, but rather at our mansion inside the dungeon. Mom and Sophia told them that they were allowed to have a physical relationship with me. Once again, they were surprised by how open-minded our family was and shocked by how Sophia could allow them to have an intimate relationship with her fiance.

After a few hours, the discussion ended, and the ladies, except for Sarah, were transferred to another room to measure their body sizes for their uniforms. There were things we wanted to discuss with Sarah, so she would be measured later. For now, we were giving her time for a reunion with her sister.

"Oh, my little Mary, it's been like three or four years since I last embraced you. I am so happy right now." "I am happy too, Sister. I am glad to see you and Mabel again. I owe this moment to the Raevender family."

Inside the parlor, Mary and Sarah were on a couch, and we were watching them wrap their arms around each other. Since the others left, these sisters have been cuddling for several minutes now. "I really missed you, Mary." "I missed you too, Sister. But you are hugging me so tight, it starts to hurt now."

"Oh, I'm sorry. I could not just stop these feelings." Immediately, Sarah loosened up her arms and undid the embrace. Mary was relieved and took a long breath after a tight constrict.

"Oh my goddess, Sister. You don't have to bind me to death." "But I really missed you, you know?" Sarah then grabbed Mary's hands, drew them closer to her face, and somewhat kissed them. After that, Sarah leaned forward and then drew her face toward Mary's neck, and a smooching sound rang out. For some reason, things had escalated quickly and erotically.

"I missed your skin. I missed your scent. And most of all..." She leaned back and then held Mary's chin. "I missed your lips..." "Hold up a second!"

"Young Lady!"

As soon as Sarah moved her face closer to Mary's, Big Sis immediately rushed forward and separated the two. Big Sis then put herself in front of Mary and faced Sarah. "Oh my, this suddenly turns interesting."

"Yeah, Mom. Let's see what will happen." I responded to Mom and then shifted our attention to them. "What are you trying to do to Mary, Sarah?" "I am very sorry, Lady Louise, but I cannot hold myself back." Sarah clenched her fist over her chest. "As you can see, I am attempting to... kiss her."

"Kiss her? Aren't you two siblings?"

"I know, but I have been seeing her in another way. You might think of me as weird, but I have romantic feelings for her. But it's not like I am trying to take her away from you or anything, Lady Louise."

"...Mary," Big Sis turned to face Mary. "Have you been aware of this?" "I have, Young Lady." Mary looked into Big Sis's eyes, and then she lowered her head. "She has been like this since I was still young. When she has the opportunity, she occasionally kisses me. I know that doing it with the same gender is bad, nevermind doing it with your own sibling."

"Mary..."

"I was too naive and young at that time," Mary continued. "I refused her at first, but then I unconsciously accepted every one of her advances. Before I realized it, my attraction towards the opposite gender eventually vanished, and it shifted to women instead." So that was how Mary was able to return Big Sis's love for her; Sarah had made her gay. What Sarah did was morally unacceptable (though I was not the one to talk due to how far I had gone with my family), but because of her actions, Mary was able to love my sister back, a blessing in disguise. "I truly apologize, Lady Louise, for all the things I have done to Mary. But I tried to stop myself by having Mary work for the Raevender family, so that I won't be seeing and touching her for a long time. I don't know if you could forgive me, but—" "You are forgiven, Sarah." "Huh? Really?" "I can fully understand you, Sarah. I totally know how you feel. Love is unpredictable after all, so I'll let you slide." "Thank you so much, Lady Louise." On the couch, Sarah bowed deeply before Big Sis. It took a few seconds before Sarah raised her head again. "But there was actually a reason why I became like this."

"Hm? Tell me."

"I became like this because of her..."

When Sarah pointed her finger at a particular person, I eventually realized why Mother had been acting so weird ever since we returned. "Don't tell me," I blurted. "Sarah has a past with Mother."
