Arthur felt uneasy after his eting with Thorne. He needed ti alone to think and plan what to do next.
He walked into his room seeing Lily putting his clean shirts in the wardrobe.
Her hair was neatly braided and her maid's uniform was clean, but Arthur could tell sothing was wrong. Her shoulders were stiff and her hands were shaking slightly.
"Lily," he said quietly.
She turned and bowed. "My lord." Her voice was low, and she didn't look directly at him. "I've laid out your clothes for tomorrow's Trial."

He walked over and gently lifted her chin so she would look at him. "What's wrong? Please tell the truth."
Her lip quivered. "The other servants are talking, my lord. I know you and Lady Valentina are together, and you got your eyes for lady Lysandra too...
Arthur could tell their relationship was at risk. Though Lily was still devoted to him, she was feeling threatened.
"You're worried about your place here," Arthur said, understanding her concern.
A tear ran down her face. "I know I'm just a maid. Not a noble lady with magic or important connections. I wonder if you still need ."
Arthur wiped away her tear. "Lily, you were my first. Do you know what that ans?" He led her to sit with him on the bed.
"It ans you started this journey with . Without you, none of this would have been possible."
"But the others—" she began.
"I need them for different reasons," he explained. "Valentina gives information and political protection.
Lysandra helps against Gareth. But you..." He held her face gently. "You give sothing much more valuable. Complete loyalty. Unwavering devotion. These things are incredibly rare."
Her eyes looked into his. "Really, my lord?"
"Let show you," he whispered, leaning in to kiss her softly.
Arthur's lips t hers in a slow, deep kiss that tasted like ho. Lily lted into him with a soft whimper, fingers twisting in his tunic. "M-my lord," she breathed between kisses, hips already rocking faintly against his thigh.
"Shhh, none of that tonight," Arthur murmured, hands sliding under her maid's dress. The rough fabric rustled as he pushed it up, revealing flushed skin. "Just Arthur when we're like this." His teeth grazed her earlobe, drawing a shaky moan from her throat.

Lily arched as his calloused palms found her breasts, thumbs circling her nipples through the thin cotton shift. "Ah—Arthur," she gasped, the forbidden informality making her clench around nothing. Her hands fumbled at his belt, trembling. "P-please, I need—"
"Tell ," he growled, grabbing her neck while his fingers slipped under her underwear. A wet schlick echoed in the quiet room as he stroked her. "Need what, Lily?"
"Y-you," she choked out, hips bucking into his touch. "Always y-you—nngh!" Her plea dissolved into a high-pitched moan when he slid two fingers inside, curling them just right.
Arthur smirked against her neck, working her dripping pussy with slow, filthy thrusts. "That's my girl," he purred, drinking in her whimpers. "Still so tight for ... still mine."

They stripped each other with practiced urgency—buttons popped, fabric tore slightly, breaths coming in ragged bursts. When Arthur finally sheathed himself in her wet heat, they groaned in unison. "Fuck," he hissed, hips stuttering. "Always feel... perfect..."
Lily clawed at his back, legs locked around his waist as he set a relentless rhythm. The bed creaked under them, skin slapping skin with every deep thrust. "H-harder," she begged, nails digging in. "Wanna—ah!—wanna prove I'm... yours..."
"Don't prove it," Arthur grunted, slamming into her until her breasts bounced. "Beit." He captured her scream with a kiss as she ca, her walls fluttering wildly around his cock. He spilled inside her with a groan, foreheads pressed together.

Later, as they lay tangled in sweat-damp sheets, Lily traced his chest with a contented sigh. "Still... essential?" she whispered, cheek flushed.
Arthur pulled her closer, hand possessively cupping her ass. "You're the fucking foundation," he said, voice rough with truth. "Everything else crumbles without you."
While Arthur and Lily reached their climax together, sothing special happened:

Arthur gasped when he saw this new ability appear in his mind. He instantly understood how it worked and realized this was exactly what he needed for tomorrow's Trial—a way to fight against Gareth's stronger elental magic.
Lily curled up next to him, her breathing slowing as she started to fall asleep. Her fingers lazily traced patterns on his chest.
"I would do anything for you," she said sleepily. "Anything my master requires."

Arthur patted her hair while his mind raced, thinking about all the ways he could use this new ability. "I know, my loyal one," he whispered. "And you've given exactly what I need."
As Lily fell into a deep sleep, Arthur carefully moved away from her. He needed to test this new power right away, to understand what it could do before tomorrow's Trial.
