YM778.TV Chapter 16: Earl's wife
It would be a challenge to the Earl\'s authority to try to sense the places and people in his mansion.
Having no tasks to complete, he had to opt for a session of meditation to gain whatever little amount of Ki he could.
Lack of rest was not likely a hindrance for him as the meditation would pretty much alleviate the strains from his tired body and mind.
\'Let\'s hope I can do another hundred cycle. \' he wanted himself to atleast gain the notification of the hundred cycle of ki.
He sat on his bed, his body and mind prepared for a lengthy session of meditation.
Breathe in..
Breathe out..
Following the steps of breathing technique, he delved into the process of accumulation and cycle of Ki energy inside his body.
The key to increase the amount of ki energy was not long but consistent practice. A huge amount of change was not possible in a day, it could only be accumulated for a long time for the difference to be visible.
The normal practice among the warriors was to do a small amount of accumulation but with strict schedule, not missing or skipping a day.
The patience to pull off all nighters or any more than four hours was hardly present in any of them, though the exceptions existed everywhere.
Someone like the Earl\'s children had to train more, though with the aid of various resources. Although the effort put in by the nobles was still a lot more than warriors.
Sinking further into his random thoughts and vivid imagination, Terias practiced till the arrival of dawn.
The first rays of light entered his room, notifying him of his time to stop.
As usual the breathing exercise was an amazing experience for Terias. He felt refreshed more than his normal sleep had ever felt.
His eyes were granted with another presence of notifications from the notepad. He was expecting it, and was curious to know if the practice he did today was more effective than the one in the carriage.
[ 100 rounds of ki cycles +0.2 KI ]
The results seemed surprising, the practice in his bed today was twenty time more effective than the one in the horse carriage.
He was not surprised and somewhat expected the difference in amount, but the amount of difference between the both was quite stark.
"More that twenty times of difference, that is when I am still not familiar with the breathing exercises and ki cycles. " He mumbled
"What would the gains of the previous Viscount who was experienced enough to modify a ki technique be like? " Terias was incapable to even imagine the gains
"And what would the gains from a Earl\'s hundred cycle of ki would look like? He has a more effective method than the one I have and he also has the same amount of ki I do. " He estimated
"The ki cycle\'s efficiency is dependent on the amount of energy already present in the body. Since I can not utilize all of my Ki, the amount of gains would still go up. " He estimated that the amount of ki he should be moving in the breathing technique was not his limit.
He had to spare about 30-40 percent of his total Ki, dormant for the life aiding formation near his heart.
"There is a lot of room for progress, I need a partner in third level of ki to quickly increase my efficiency with the ying yang technique.
That would help me with the increase in life span as well as the estimation of the total amount of ki I posess. " He was eager to get a partner of higher level of ki, once he gained the superior results with Tasha and her level two strength.
Moving out of his bed, he freshened himself. He had a breakfast to attend with two Viscounts and probably the Earl, if the Earl still remains in the mansion.
According to his speculations, the Earl was busy somewhere with little something going on. He did not even get to meet him once.
He stepped out of the room, finding an attendant standing outside his door. He ordered the attendant to guide him to the place where Robert and Hexter were, his only acquaintance in the mansion at the moment.
He was being guided to the place, as he followed the attendant. He did not have to travel much before he heard Hexter and Robert laughing with someone.
The place he was guided to was an open terrace setting with naked sky upon them. The two Viscounts were seated together with a woman dressed in white.
The woman had waist length long black hair, elegantly styled in a bun while still reaching the waist.
The dress she was wearing was of a white color and showed off her beautiful shoulder. The sundress or frock like piece of clothing was stuck to her body by a thin string on her shoulders.
It felt as if the woman was dressed for the summer beach, so comfortable and warm. He could only see a side smile of her face as she chatted and laughed together with the two Viscounts.
Her cheeks were plump but in the ratio where it did not look like a cute child\'s but of a mature woman. Along with her beautiful but sultry lips and her big watery eyes, it felt as if a charming beauty was seated.
He was behind them, Hexter noticed him and so did Robert. Seeing their reactions, the beautiful woman also turned back to see the individual who intruded in their morning meal.
"Good morning, Sir Terias. " Hexter happily greeted him with a polite smile
"A very good morning, Sir Hexter" Terias replied back
"Are you the Viscount Terias? I have heard a lot about you. I am Serena Scheta, the Earl\'s wife" The woman said introducing herself
"I was wondering who the beautiful lady was, it was mrs Scheta, you look beautiful as a warm sun. " Terias added with a genuine smile
It was not empty flattery, as the woman truly looked beautiful even in the normal sundress. He could not help but imagine her in a dress similar to what Tasha wore.
His devious mind instantly went to the quick process of undressing her and imagining her body naked.
Truth to be said, the imagination was really good, he was curious about the exact details though which he would not mind checking personally.
He was staring at Serena\'s bust through her cleavage, which looked heavenly. Serena looked about 160 CM in height, the difference enabled Terias to have a good look at her breasts.
Serena seemed to notice his attention and desire to which she showed a subtle smile.
