"You, as a maid? Yeah, right" Magnus said, chuckling, his mouth still half full of toes.

“Shut up, Apprentice!" Fiona said, chuckling herself and shutting him up by pushing her foot deeper inside his mouth.

“Hmm, you might be useful in this investigation, also. We will be staying here for a while, as this will take some time... maybe a month, maybe more, who knows. So I want you to get acquainted with the staff... Talk with them, find out what you can about them. It shouldn't be too hard"

“I am not so sure about it... The maids just giggle when they see me, older maids Look at me with disapproval and male servants ignore me..."

Magnus said, barely able to talk.

“You are a handsome young man, of course they giggle at you. Older maids disapprove that you are staying in my rooms. They assume certain things... And male servants don't see any use in talking to you, that is why they ignore you. You will find a way to approach all of them and learn something. That is your primary task now, besides taking care of my things. I also arranged swordplay lessons from Countess's weapon-master. Every day, in the Late morning you will have swordplay lessons. Evenings are still reserved for magic lessons. So as you see,

Apprentice, you will have your hands full for quite a while."

Magnus just grunted in response, he couldn't manage much more. It was not polite to talk with his mouth full, after all...

Knocks on the door woke Magnus from his sleep. He squinted, seeing

Fiona flutter her eyes open as well. Morning has bathed the room with light, but the sun didn't completely come up yet.

“Lady Fiona! I have your breakfast here, and a message from Her

Ladyship." The female voice behind the door said.

“Damn!" Fiona said.

“Magnus! Go under the covers, quickly!"

“What? Why...?" Magnus said, not fully awake yet.

"Do it!" Fiona said pulling the covers.

Magnus went under the covers, trying to huddle his big body under covers. Fiona moved her legs over his body and raised her knees to hide the bulge his body was making. He couldn't understand why he had to hide under covers. He could have just gone to his own room?

“Enter!" Fiona said loudly.

He heard the maid enter. He heard her talk to his Mistress. Meanwhile, he was in almost complete darkness underneath the covers. Almost. He smelled an unfamiliar scent... it felt... arousing, somehow. He darted his eyes all around, not making the slightest move with his body. He felt his Mistress's legs touching his chest and neck. Then he saw it.

It was barely visible in the dark, and it took some time until his eyes adjusted but it was unmistakable. His Mistress was completely naked under covers! He found that his head was very close to her crotch.
