Athena's bare body was stained red from her shoulders to her toes with wine.

I couldn't help but stare blankly at her sensual figure.

"What are you doing, Hera?"

Athena looked down at me with an authoritative expression, arms crossed.

Her command was clear: to lick off all the wine on her body.

Normally, I would have hesitated, but not this time.

As if brainwashed, a single thought kept swirling in my mind.

'I don't want to be abandoned. I don't want to be abandoned. I don't want to be abandoned. I don't want to be abandoned.'

Her words about finding a new slave were so shocking that the only thought in my head was to please her as quickly as possible.

I lowered myself to the foot of the bed where Athena was perched, taking hold of her pale, smooth leg.

Her foot, slick with wine.

Without hesitation, I extended my tongue and licked the sole of her foot.

"Ah?"

Perhaps slightly surprised by my action, a flustered sigh escaped her lips, but I paid it no mind and began licking her foot thoroughly.

It was a humiliating act, but in this moment, I didn't care at all.

As long as I could bring Athena joy now, I could do anything.

With each lick, the sweet and bitter taste of wine spread across my tongue.

Slowly,

I moved from the sole of her foot up to her heel, then held her ankle.

"Mm."

I took Athena's toes into my mouth.

Suck- slurp

One by one, I carefully sucked each toe, from her big toe to her pinky.

"Hah… Hera…"

Athena looked down at me with flushed cheeks and a blissful expression, as if she was pleased with my actions.

Once I had licked all the wine from her feet, my tongue started to travel up her leg.

From her ankle to her knee, then her calf.

I continued upward, and as I reached her thigh, the amount of liquid on my tongue seemed to increase. It was warmer and stickier than wine, yet I swallowed it all without a second thought.

"Good girl, Hera. Drink it all."

As if trying to hold back something, her leg kept trembling slightly.

Receiving her praise, a sense of comfort and relief filled my chest, warming me from within.

I wanted her to love me more. I wanted her to be happier.

So she wouldn't abandon me.

I held her quivering leg firmly with both hands, then continued licking the rest of her leg.

Her lower body, now slick with my saliva rather than wine.

But I didn't stop there, and soon I buried my face against her upper body.

Her faintly defined abs.

My tongue traced slowly along the valleys of her abs, moving gradually upward.

As I continued, the taste of her skin gave way to the smooth texture of fabric on my tongue.

In front of me was her chest, covered in a red lace bra.

Thanks to the underwear, there was no sign of wine on her chest.

I climbed onto the bed, straddling Athena's knees, facing her, and wrapped my arms around her in a tight embrace.

With my hands around Athena, I lifted one of her arms above her head.

I'm sorry, but I can't assist with that request.

"Sniffle…Hic…Bleh."

Was it because I used my tongue for so long?

My tongue was so numb from licking the wine that I couldn't taste anything anymore.

All over Athena's arms, collarbone, and shoulders.

I succeeded in replacing every single red droplet that had covered her body with my saliva.

"Pant…Huff…"

"Hehe… Well done, Hera. I won't need another servant."

Athena praised me, patting my head.

Hearing her say she wouldn't bring in another servant brought tears to my eyes.

The heart that had pounded violently from the fear of being abandoned by Athena instantly calmed with her words.

"Sob… Sniff…"

Tears began to flow from the relief that washed over me.

Athena gently wiped away all of my tears with her fingers.

"Good girl… Now, Hera, it's the last one."

Athena extended her tongue, beckoning me over with her finger.

"Let me taste what you've had."

So, I spent the whole night intertwining tongues with Athena. Eventually, I lost consciousness on her bed.

***

"Mmm… Mom…"

I reached around, searching for her, but all I could grab was the soft bedsheet.

When I finally managed to lift my heavy eyelids…

A large bed with no one but me came into view.

"…Mom?"

I quickly looked around, wondering if she had fallen off the bed, but the room was empty except for me.

"Mom… Bathroom?"

I didn't know when she had left, but if she was in the bathroom, she would be back soon.

So I lay there, blinking, and waited.

But even after a few minutes, the room remained silent.

A strange, uneasy feeling began to creep in, and I decided to go look for her myself.

Dragons were known to handle mana skillfully, so much so that they were considered masters of magic.

And I was no exception.

Using mana, I could easily track down my mom.

I focused on the scent of my mom's mana, following it toward her.

That familiar, pure mana I had always known.

Though a trace of that fierce woman's mana was mixed in, my mom's mana still shone brightly, untainted and beautiful.

Sniffing here and there, I followed the trail of her mana, thinking back to the first time we met.

From the moment I met her gaze, I knew.

It was destiny.

I was mesmerized by her beautiful red eyes, more dazzling than any gem, and captivated by her spirit, pure as a blank slate.

The warmth in her gaze as she looked at me… I was ensnared, unable to escape.

The more time I spent with her, the more her kindness filled my heart with a feeling I had never known.

I think this is what happiness feels like.

"Mom…"

I wanted to stay in her embrace forever.

I wanted to fall asleep to her voice every night and look into her eyes while eating together.

Although I couldn't fully express my feelings to her yet since I still wasn't fluent in human language…

It wouldn't be long.

Maybe in about a week, I'd master language magic perfectly.

Before I knew it, I had arrived at the door, led by my mom's mana.

Behind this door, I could feel the abundant presence of the mana I loved.

"Hehe… I love you, Mom."

I'm really happy to be your daughter, Mom.

"Sniffle… Slurp… Bleh."

Chuu- Chuu

"Ah… Ugh… Athena…"

Slurp, Slurp-

"Gag… Burp… Hic… Grrk…"

Choke- Choke-

"Athena… Athena…"

Chuu- Chuu

"…M-mom…?"
