Nova pov,The princess’ sibling’s workshop looked simir to how it was yesterday, except the books were closed and stacked neatly on the table. The table was instead covered in pques. Sapphire was busy transting them with her beautiful fiery handwriting. Beornia sat on the bench leaning her back on the table while she sharpened her sword with a whetstone.

  “We will need to get both of you new equipment soon,” Beornia idly mentioned.“My sister will handle that. You can probably mention what you need, and she will be here with it the next time she visits,” (redacted) said, as they carved some runes into a recurve bow.

  “What are you working on?” Nova asked. “I’m making this bow easier to use without reducing its power,” (redacted) replied.“That sounds useful, why isn’t it used more often?” Nova asked, having not seen many runes.“After the north became isoted from the empire. The imperial temple reduced its restrictions on runic magic. A lot of new applications for runic magic followed with the evolution of the runic nguage. These runes were buried in the Priestex of the Goddex’s notes. If the temple knew about what was hidden in their notes they would have hid them from the public,” (redacted) expined. “What do those specific runes do?” Nova asked.“The first rune reduces the strength needed to draw the bow. The second one is a condition rune. The more strength applied the weaker the first rune's effects. The st one is a dey rune. It slightly deys the effects so that when I release the string the arrow gets released at full power,” (redacted) expined.

  “Are you an archer then?” Nova inquired.“I do practice archery every morning before assembly,” (redacted) replied, “This should work! Sapphire, do you want to test out this bow with me?” they decred excited.Sapphire looked up from her work, “let me finish this pque first.”Nova watched as Sapphire delicately, and quickly finished transting. Like in a trance Sapphy grabbed a new pque to transte. Nova put her hand on Sapphy’s soft fluffy hand. Sapphire looked up then remembered what was just said a few moments ago. The wolf-kin blushed shyly, averting her gaze. Nova scratched the adorable wolf-kin behind her ears.

  Before Sapphire could get up. Wynnfd stormed into the room. Beornia stood up with her bde at the ready. “Why is this bitch here!” Sapphire stated, upset.“Look in the mirror you are the only bitch here,” Wynnfd replied with venom. Nova stood protectively between Sapphire and the white haired bitch incensed. “I feel like i’m missing something,” (redacted) said as they nervously pushed their gsses up.“Allow me to expin,” Beornia started. She paused for a moment to see if anyone wanted to stop her. “Your girlfriend over there gave Sapphire an ultimatum: either she avoids you, or she gets inline behind her, as a junior harem member. Sapphire refused her terms. Then Wynnfd attacked Sapphire,” Beornia accused, staring daggers at Wynnfd.“What!” (redacted) excimed confused. They put their palm on their face, and slunk onto the bench. “Is what she said true?” They asked Wynnfd, looking at her hesitantly.“More or less, I let my anger get the better of me,” Wynnfd turned to Sapphire and looked her in the eye. The wolf-kin shifted uncomfortably, “Sapphire, I'm sorry for grabbing you, and for… um cutting you with my ice storm,” Wynnfd looked away in shame before she finished her sentence.Sapphire just listened. she didn’t respond. Nova pulled her girlfriend into her p, and gently guided Sapphire’s face to the comfort of her breast. She gred at Wynnfd while petting Sapphire’s hair. The wolf-kin whimpered quietly.

  The room was drowned out with a deafening silence. While (redacted) processed everything. “This is not the first time you have done this, is it?” (redacted) finally asked their girlfriend, breaking the uncomfortable silence.“Since I met you I have negotiated with any potential competition,” Wynnfd responded with a long sigh. Followed by a diplomatic smile.“You are the reason why I thought everyone hated me! They would talk to me once then avoid me. I spent years wracking my mind, trying to figure out what I was doing wrong. Until I gave up,” (redacted) cried out in distress. Wynnfd approached them to hug them. “Don’t touch me!” (redacted) screamed. Beornia threateningly stood between Wynnfd and (redacted).“Athelfd! You know everything that goes on around me and you didn’t inform me of what she was doing!” (redacted) yelled as they realized their sister had betrayed them. “Calm down brother I’m right next to you,” a colorful bird appeared on the table near (redacted), “Of course I knew, but it was irrelevant. Since maintaining her retionship with you was very important to the strength of the royal family-” Athelfd said before her sibling cut her off.

  “Both of you need to leave right now,” (redacted) said a little calmer while they seethed. “We are over!” They said while they looked at Wynnfd with determination.“Please give me another chance, I love you!” Wynnfd said in desperation. “This is not just a silly mistake, Like telling my sister I was busy in the workshop for a week straight and forgetting to tell me about it. This is seven years of my life you controlled from the shadows-” (redacted) broke down crying. Boernia sheathed her sword. She grabbed the bird with one hand, and Wynnfd’s arm with the other, escorting both of them out of the room. Two more birds could be heard flying out of the open window.

  Sapphire pov,

  Sitting back up, Sapphire saw the state that (redacted) was in. She sat right next to them on the bench.“Do you want a hug?” Sapphire asked as tears trickled down her cheek. With hazel eyes bloodshot from crying (redacted) looked at Sapphire and nodded. They removed their gsses and put them on the table. She pulled them into a warm embrace, rocking them back and forth. “We are here for you. If you need anything, find us,” Nova said softly. Nova’s soft hands rested on Sapphire’s face. She turned Sapphire’s head toward her. “What’s wrong? Why-,” Nova cooed quietly in Sapphire’s ear.

  Sapphire giggled and squirmed as shivers went down her spine. Her nipples tingled as they rubbed against (redacted) face. Sapphire let out a moan. Then pulled away from them in embarrassment. She buried her face into her girlfriend’s soft breasts, and nuzzled them too embarrassed to show her face. I was just comforting him. He must think I’m taking advantage of his grief by shoving my breast’s in his face. I’m such a bad wolf. I didn’t mean to do it. It still felt nice though.

  “I’m terribly sorry. It was an accident. Please don’t hate me,” (redacted) pleaded.Wait what! He isn’t bming me for it? It was my fault though. Why is he apologizing?“It was an accident. I was not careful enough. Both of you need to stop bming yourselves,” Nova said sternly.Sapphire stayed in Nova’s warm embrace for a while longer, before she felt safe to face (redacted) again.

  “Do you want to help me get my things out of Wynnfd’s room?” (redacted) asked as they awkwardly pushed their finger up the bridge of their nose. They smiled sheepishly as they realized they were no longer wearing their gsses. Sapphire smiled in amusement, as she put their gsses back on their face.

  Wynnfd’s room was down the hall right across from Sapphire’s room. This does not make me feel safe. When the door opened the white haired mage’s scent overwhelmed Sapphire’s nose threatening to pull her back to the moment. The pungent odor of sex still hung on the bedsheets from her curtained bed. The plush carpet threatened to snag on Sapphire’s cws. The wardrobe was too ornate for its function. There was a copper bowl on an ornate wooden stand for a sink, and drawn curtains that probably hid a trine. A circur copper bathtub was on one end of the room. This bitch lives in the p of luxury. Why does she need her own private bathtub? A shelf contained a few books and pques. Light from the arched gss window made the room look warm. Sapphire felt anything but comfortable in Wynnfd’s room. (redacted) handed Sapphire and Nova some well made longbows from a bow stand. They rushed around the room stuffing more clothing than it looked like their bag could fit. “Your bag can fit a whole lot,” Sapphire remarked with a raised eyebrow.“Oh, I put some runes on it to increase the space. I don’t have enough mana to keep it running all day, but it’s good for short trips, I haven’t yet found monster parts that work with space magic,” (redacted) said as they used a magic tool to take the pegs out that secured the bow rack to the wall. “Let's get out of here before the ice queen returns,” (redacted) said with a humorous smile pying on their lips, but their eyes looked sad.

  Thankfully the scary ice mage didn’t show up at all, as they carried (redacted) things to their workshop. It took some reorganizing to find a pce for the bow rack. Some pques were stored under the table. With a quiver and sheaves of arrows. The clothing was distributed into multiple bags stored alongside the pques.

  “Why didn't you take your things to your room?” Nova asked, confused.“This is my room,” (redacted) replied.“The academy doesn’t have work areas in it?” Nova inquired.“To have access to a private workshop you need to complete an apprenticeship. I can’t use anything beyond basic everyday magic. I’m stuck as an acolyte,” (redacted) replied. “We could probably fit the smaller bed from our room in here if you reorganize,” Nova suggested.“Won’t you need it?” (redacted) asked.Slime Nova jumped out of Nova’s robes. The slime expanded and contracted on the floor. Sapphire picked up the squishy cool slime. It felt so nice squishing against her arms and hands. My girlfriend is the best. She has so many squishy parts of her. “You can expand a slime into a bed. That gives me some ideas,” (redacted) said with an excited look on their face.

  They walked quickly over to the other side of the room, and pulled a few slime cores out of one of their bags.“I can use runic magic to bring out the properties of getinous mass,” (redacted) sat at their workbench writing runic configurations onto paper. “I will need to have it able to change size. What is the most efficient way to set up these runes to reduce mana loss,” They muttered to themselves.Sapphire admired them working for a moment before she remembered that there were still notes to transte.

  Nova pov,

  The wolf-kin looked so cute immersed in her transting. Nova had taken the neckce off, cancelling her illusion when they returned to the workshop. Being sick of the itching caused by hiding her demonic assets. She gently felt the rexing fluffiness of Sapphire’s tail with her own tail. Sapphire shot Nova a contented smile. She quickly returned to transting.

  The door opening distracted Nova. Beornia’s leather boots thumped against the wood floor. “You are finally back!” Nova said, excited to see her other girlfriend return. “Let me tell you about what happened,” Beornia said, as her hands fondly petted Nova’s head and horns, causing the succubus to preen.
