The private study's air hung heavy with the ghost of Seraphina's moan, her violet-amber scent mingling with citrus and the faint crackle of the hearth's embers.
Bookshelves loomed, their parchment musk a quiet echo of secrets, while burgundy curtains trapped the room's heat like a lover's embrace.
Takuya flexed his fingers—remembering the texture of Seraphina's thigh, the involuntary twitch when he brushed near her garter.
Remembering the moan—small, clipped, barely a sound, but enough to count.
The system confirmed it.
But it wasn't just the act.
It was how she responded to it.

Takuya's pervert brain grinned.
Glove tension? Thigh twitch? She's a walking kink checklist.
The data wasn't just numbers—it was a map to her unraveling, her ice-blue eyes and trembling lips proof of cracks in her noble fortress.
"Well done," purred Lyseria's voice, smooth as melted honey drizzled over velvet, slithering into his mind with a warmth that tightened his trousers further.
Her form materialized against the bookshelf, reclining in midair, legs crossed, toes dangling inches from the rug.
A shawl of writhing gold thread draped her nude body, its gossamer strands a teasing formality, clinging to her golden skin and spilling over her full breasts.
Her lavender-rose hair shimmered, red-gold eyes glinting with divine mischief.
Takuya's cock twitched, his Arousal Aura amplifying the heat of her presence.
"So you're spying on everything?" he asked, raising an eyebrow, his grin pure pervert bravado.
"Guiding. Encouraging. Occasionally watching you from behind a curtain while nibbling on divine fruit," she replied, her laugh a throaty caress that vibrated through his bones.
"You're not just here to get off, little envoy. You're here to learn how to get others off."
"You mean MILFs," Takuya said, leaning against the chaise, his coat parting to reveal a sliver of chest, testing her reaction.
"Oh, yes," Lyseria purred, hovering closer, her shawl shifting to expose a curve of thigh.
"Especially them. Decades of repression, layers of etiquette, tight dresses and tighter morals." Her voice dropped, husky and knowing. "But they're all one word, one glance, one brush away from melting."
She touched his chest, her phantom fingers sparking through his coat, a jolt that made his arousal throb painfully.
"You did well with Seraphina. But to truly unravel her?" Her red-gold eyes locked on his. "You'll need to turn her symbols against her. Her gloves. Her posture. Her control."
"Use them," Takuya said, his voice low, mind already scripting glove-centric fantasies—Seraphina's velvet grip, her ice-blue eyes begging.
"Exactly," Lyseria replied, pressing a phantom kiss to his cheek, light and electric, her scent—rose oil and sin—flooding his senses.
Her form vanished, leaving the air shimmering with her laughter.
The system chimed, crimson text flaring:
NEW OBJECTIVE TREE UNLOCKED: Symbolic Leverage – Tier I
First Target: Seraphina's Gloves
Goal: Elicit direct arousal from glove-centric act in public context
Reward: Arousal Aura Enhancement (Level 1.1)
Progress toward MILF Affinity I: 45%
Takuya exhaled, his grin wicked, heart pounding with pervert glee.
Gloves in public? Oh, I'm gonna make her squirm.
He was learning the rules of this world—repression was the lock, and his aura was the key.
