IGIWS: FIRST DRAFT: Ch.356 Tayna Divulges Some Secrets
🕑 Added 2025-05-01 12:04:59 +0000 UTCBack before Tayna entered the Duchess's bedroom, she carefully examined the Duke's sleeping chambers for anything incriminating. But she couldn't find a damn thing. She even looked behind the big paintings.
'Hahh... I guess I shouldn't be surprised... The Duke is a cautious man. If there's anything to be found, then it's either somewhere else or I am missing something,' Tayna thought to herself as she sighed. 'I suppose it's time for me to go back to get Amelia... I hope she's done masturbating, because we are pushing are luck.'
Tayna made sure to put everything back in order before going to the door that connects to the Duchess's Chambers.
Tayna went through the short, narrow hallway to the other door and paused for a moment. She was silently listening for any moaning or groaning from the other side, but all was silent. 'Thank the Goddess, Amelia must be passed out.' So she slowly opened the door a crack and peeked inside.
She couldn't see the bed from her angle, so she just walked inside.
"Amelia? Are you awake—"
Tayna slowly scanned the room and paused mid-sentence when she spotted Amelia, butt naked, kissing the mirror on the vanity.
"Wow..." Tayna muttered out in sheer befuddlement.
Amelia spun around in a panic and tried to cover her shame while defending herself.
"Th-Th-This isn't what it looks like!" Amelia stuttered while struggling to use one arm to cover her massive breasts, and the other covering her crotch.
'By the goddess. Amelia is almost as big as Rya and the Queen...' Tayna thought before snapping back to reality when she thought she saw the shadows around Amelia move and warp in an unnatural manner before returning to normal. She thought it was her mind playing tricks on her while Amelia was oblivious to Tayna's confused state and continued speaking.
"I-It's the Dark Elf's fault! She used some type of spell on me to become her minion! By making my body horny and desperate to make love to Ben! But I was strong enough to keep my free will! Yes, and we need to warn the—"
Amelia stopped herself when she realized that she had outed herself to one of the Dark Elf's possible minions.
Tayna's dumbfounded look turned into a perturbed frown as she stared at the naked woman.
"Ah—Um! I-I mean, I will do... Um, what the mistress w-wishes! I am an obedient servant... Just ignore the silly things I said earlier," Amelia bumbled as she frantically waved both her hands in a panic, trying to salvage the situation.
Tayna shook her head and sighed as she approached Amelia.
"I-I mean it! I am totally devoted to Mistress Rya!" Amelia continued while bumping her butt into the vanity behind her. She felt trapped and thought her efforts were for naught when Tayna was almost upon her. Amelia closed her eyes and braced herself for whatever would come next, and waited.
And waited.
She slowly cracked open an eye to find that Tayna was holding a bathrobe she found on the coat hanger next to the walk-in closet.
"Are you done?" Tayna asked in an irritated tone.
"Eh?" Amelia looked around as if she was missing something before coming back to Tayna.
"You're a mess," Tayna said while wrapping the robe over Amelia's shoulders, then Tayna grabbed Amelia's hand and pulled her towards the bathroom.
'Huh?... Did my lie work?... Whoa!? What's the hurry!?' Amelia stumbled as she was pulled along until they entered the bathroom. Tayna wanted to say a few things to Amelia, but she didn't know who might be listening in, and she needed to have some background noise before she was going to speak.
"Now," Tayna said while pulling a stool over and sat Amelia down in front of the fae-bath, "Turn on the Fae water crystal." She ordered.
Amelia looked confused at Tayna. Her sister-in-law knew that she couldn't power the crystal no matter how hard she tried. At best, she was able to channel enough mana into it to get a few drops of water to pour out.
Tayna sighed again and grabbed Amelia's hand, placing it on top of the crystal and holding it there.
'She can't be serious, right? I have no mana. I'm talentless...' Amelia thought as she looked at Tayna's determined face.
"But—"
"Do it and see," Tayna ordered and let go of her hand.
Amelia sighed and looked at the crystal, 'She just wants to humiliate me like all the others...' She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and concentrated on the crystal. She did what she usually did to gather as much mana as possible and directed it at the crystal. But before she strained herself, the crystal lit up as hot water flowed into the basin.
'Eh?' She looked at Tayna, who smiled in response. Amelia didn't understand what had just happened.
Tayna had her background noise that she needed. The running water of the Fae-bath should cover her voice. She bent down to whisper into Amelia's ear, "Now, what do you think Prince Rya did to you, Amelia?"
"Um..." She didn't know how to respond. Wasn't her sister-in-law in league with the Dark Elf? So, why is she asking her such a question?
"S-She tried to corrupt me with her magic... Because House Dule had the weakest heirs to the title, and by controlling us, she will have one Major House under her control."
Tayna chuckled at Amelia's naivety, but she probably would have thought something similar if she had first met Rya and made her body grow like Amelia's.
"You have no clue what Rya did, do you?"
Amelia was about to speak, but she stayed silent and blushed with embarrassment.
Tayna smiled and decided to explain what Rya did, "I'm going to tell you a secret that only a handful of people know, alright? This is a royal secret that no one outside of us can know. If this gets out, then our friends and family might be in danger, okay?"
'D-Danger!?... What does Tayna know?... I-I got to know... maybe I can use it to save us.' Amelia paled and nodded.
"Amelia... You and your brother had a curse placed on your Mana Veins, and Rya got rid of them," Tayna whispered into her ear.
Amelia's jaw dropped as she looked at her hands and then the crystal, 'W-What?... T-This isn't possible... M-My mana... it was non-existent, right? Yeah, and why did I get so horny, and why did my body change so much? It couldn't be due to lifting a curse... Right? It has to be the other way around. R-Right?'
She couldn't believe her ears, but deep inside, her intuition was trying to tell her that what Tayna was saying was true. "S-Surely you must be joking, Tayna."
Tayna smiled and shook her head.
"No, Amelia. That Dark Elf, Princess Rya, can do the impossible... She's healed the scars that doctors and alchemists couldn't fix. She's cured Johan of his curse, and she's done the same for you. I'm not aware of the details, but when she's ready, I'm sure she'll share them with us. But just so you know, Amelia, we can trust her."
"But, isn't she an enemy to our kingdom?"
"No. Rya is the most trustworthy friend I have ever had. She's saved me from myself and made me realize how special Johan truly is. He's the love of my life, and I will do everything to make him happy," Tayna stated confidently.
"You and Johan... are in love?... WHOA!?"
*Splash!*
Amelia was so blindsided that when she stood up, she fell into the bath.
"AMELIA!" Tayna exclaimed as she rushed to the girl's side and pulled her out.
*Cough* *Cough* "T-Tayna..." *Cough*
Amelia was a bit dazed after hearing the news. But once she got back on her feet, her face turned red.
"Y-You... are in love with Johan!? B-But I thought you were bluffing about carrying his child. So, you were telling the truth!?"
"I was. Hopefully, I will be able to confirm that I am pregnant in a week or so. Are you ready to become an Aunty, Amelia?" Tayna winked playfully.
Amelia didn't know what to say, and she shook her head to regather her thoughts.
"Um?... Okay!? But if Rya is this good person, then why did my body... develop and mature like this—ALSO! Why did she make me so horny that I did those unladylike things? It felt like she was trying to make me lose my sanity and become an obedient servant or something!"
Tayna wanted to burst out in laughter, but she kept her composure.
"Amelia, you've heard of Mana Rush, correct?" Tayna asked while tilting her head and glanced at her with an all-knowing look.
"Huh? Yes, but that only happens to knights, mages, or adventurers who slay too many creatures in a short amount of time. But I haven't slain a monster in over five years," Amelia replied, confused.
"Well, what happened to you also happened to your brother. You two absorbed all the mana from slaying those monsters, but they didn't grow because of the curse, and once Rya healed your mana veins, they grew to what they should have been all those years ago. Your Mana Vein grew like it had slain over 50 or 100 monsters in the span of seconds. I'm guessing that you have an Elite-Level Mana Vein like your brother, with how much your body changed from the mana flowing throughout it."
Tayna could almost see the question marks floating above Amelia's head as she was trying to wrap her head around the information.
'I-I was experiencing Mana Rush?... That can't be right. And I have never heard of someone's body developing in a matter of—WAIT!?! Johan has an Elite Mana Vein? I... Um.. W-What?'
Tayna giggled a little before adding, "So, you have a thing for the stable boy, huh?"
Amelia froze, her face turning bright red as she stared blankly into space.
"I... I... I don't know what you're talking about. M-Mother would disapprove of such a thing, and I'm sure that Ben isn't interested in a talentless—"
Amelia stopped herself before looking at Tayna. She was beginning to realize that she was talented, yet she still had the mindset that she wasn't good enough for anyone.
"Talentless? Amelia, you are incredibly talented. But someone cursed you and your brother. Rya got rid of the shackles that have been holding you back. I'm curious to see what if you do have an Elite-Level Vein, but let's get you cleaned up first."
Amelia was still in a state of shock as the water levels inside the tub rose.
Tayna was enjoying watching Amelia's expression, knowing full well that this was not what she had expected for her life to 180 in the blink of an eye. Amelia sat in the tub with a resounding 'THUD.' The water washed around her as her mind was fighting to compete with competing thoughts. First was the old biases she built up before meeting Rya for the first time. Second was the truth that Tayna had told her, along with everything else she had witnessed today.
'T-This has to be some trick... Or is it an illusion? But what if I do have a powerful mana vein? Then I can save the family and—GAH! WAKE UP!'
Amelia took a deep breath before submerging her head under the water. The warmth of the water helped soothe her frazzled nerves and calm her racing heart.
Tayna couldn't help but giggle at the sight of the noblewoman acting so childishly, and then she remembered that she acted in a similar way as Amelia when the reality of her situation hit her.
'She has gone through so much, and all that time, she was being held back by a curse... But what was the point of it? Why would someone curse the Dule family? And who would benefit from cursing them?' Tayna thought as she grabbed bath salts and oils.
She began to pour some into the water and started scrubbing Amelia's back. Amelia popped her head out of the water, letting out a small yelp as she shook her head and looked around the room. She was beginning to realize that she may actually be talented, and not a useless daughter or sister of a Major House.
Tayna smiled as she continued scrubbing her friend's back.
"Yeah, I acted similarly, too, when Rya healed my scars. But I assure you that you are not dreaming. Your mana veins are no longer crippled, and I bet you are going to become even stronger than before."
Tayna's words brought some comfort to Amelia, who was still struggling with her old self.
'I-I hope Tayna is telling me the truth... But I don't remember Johan looking that much different? Were we really cursed?' Amelia thought as she turned her head to look at her friend and sister-in-law.
Tayna smiled as she poured more bath salts into the tub and scrubbed the rest of her body.
"You said that my brother was cursed too, correct?... But he hasn't gone through a change like me, right? I mean, his face looks a little more dashing than I remember, but he hasn't gone through the same thing that happened to me."
Tayna smirked and shook her head while continuing to help clean Amelia.
"You really have no clue how much your brother's physique has changed, have you..."
Amelia had a confused look on her face, trying to figure out what her friend meant.
"What do you mean by that?"
"Well, it looks like we have been doing a good job at hiding it. But rest assured, your brother has definitely changed after the curse was lifted," Tayna replied with a smirk.
Amelia had a skeptical look on her face, unsure if Tayna was messing with her or not.
"I'm serious. He looks so much manlier than before." Tayna continued her work, massaging the oils and perfumes onto Amelia's skin. Sure, these items belonged to the Duchess, but she was a viper and an enemy. So, Tayna didn't care if they used the expensive oils.
"Like what?... I grew these big breasts and wide hips. I haven't seen anything close to my body changing, so what exactly changed with my brother? He is still the same Johan I remember. Just with a more chiseled face."
Tayna couldn't help but chuckle, "Well, he lost his doughy body. Like he wasn't unpleasant, but his shoulders, arms, and chest have grown quite muscular. Not as burly as some knights, but he looks a lot healthier now. Not to mention, his shoulders do seem broader than I remember." Tayna said out loud.
Amelia had an incredulous look on her face, "Yeah? Well, I can't tell—"
Tayna held up one hand, silencing her friend, "He also has chisled abs now and his butt is more toned, along with his legs. Not to mention, he seems a little taller. I would say he's a few inches taller now. And my favorite part of him that's changed for the better, his back."
"His back?..." Amelia questioned.
"Yep, it's nice and broad. I have to say there isn't anything better to look at than a man with a strong back. Reaching up to grab a hat or a box that I conveniently placed up high for him to grab before he puts on his shirt in the mornings," Tayna explained in a dreamy voice.
Amelia frowned, 'Huh?... Tayna likes a man's back as her favorite part to look at? Pfft! Nothing is better than a man's toned stomach that escapes when he's lifting up and throwing bales of hay... A-And the way it glistens in the morning sun after he works up a good sweat... Oooohh—GAH!? STOP IT! What the heck is wrong with me!? I shouldn't be thinking such perverted things. I need to focus!'
Amelia shook her head, "Whatever, my brother got a little leaner, while my breasts have become bigger. Not really a fair trade."
Tayna rolled her eyes, but smirked as she was going to get a little pay back for grossing her out early, "Well, the other things that changed on your brother was his manhood... It's grown over six inches longer and can reach the depths of my womanhood like never be—"
"ENOUGH! I'm not listening! La-la-la!" Amelia interrupted loudly while covering her ears.
Tayna smirked at how easy it was to get her sister-in-law fluster, "Well, you asked and I answered."
"I-I don't want to know that much about my brother's private parts!" Amelia stuttered out.
"Well, you grew bigger in your breasts, while Johan has grown bigger in his testicles and longer in his shaft," Tayna stated with a smirk.
"Stop, just stop. There's things that a sister doesn't need to know. I'm glad he's happy and all, but I don't want to think about it anymore!" Amelia shouted.
Tayna was laughing while shaking her head, "Yeah, well I learned way to much about you during your Mana Rushed stat. So, we are even. Anyway, we've lingered here long enough. Let's rince off and get dressed. Hopefully, the duchess has a dress we can borrow that will fit your new assets. Otherwise, you will have to walk around with a bedsheet around your body. That would be classy, no?"
Amelia sighed, "The duchess is going to kill us, isn't she. I'm so dead..."
*Splash!*
Tayna dumped a bucket full of bath water on her head, "Don't be silly. She'll have to go through Rya, and us if she even tries."
Amelia nodded, then frowned, "Do you think Rya would do something like that for me?"
Tayna pulled the plug on the drain and then grabbed a towel, "Yes. She would and so will I. Now, stop moping and get your butt out of the tub. We have a party to get to."
Amelia sighed, but did as she was told. It took her a little longer to dry off due to her new size. Tayna found a heater crystal that was used for hair drying and helped Amelia to dry her hair. Once Amelia was dry the two went to Leandra's vanity. Amelia sat down in the chair while Tayna hurried into the walk in closet.
'Come on. Come on... There has to be something that is big enough to—hello!? What do we have here?'
Tayna went deep into the closet until she came across some old but lovely dresses that were designed to open up easily and were bigger in the bust region.
'These must be maternity wear. I guess Leandra's breasts got a couple breasts sizes bigger after having her babies. Oh, these will work perfectly!'

😂 Thanks for the catch. That's my dyslexia kicking in.

"Now, what do you think Prince Rya did to you, Amelia?" Mininor correct. Unless Ryan became Ryan again lol.
PaulMichaels
I see the next two chapters focused on Tayna and Amelia before we backtrack to the party and focus on Rya.

Hey all! Next chapter is going to be a bit frisky as Amelia puts on an enchanted maternity dress that's supposed to help with feeding. 😉 😉
