<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b5/Dfe9fb930db536561dcc5df7fb81ea56.png)</div>Thanks to Sera, Lise was feeling rested indeed, her senses sharp. It wasn't difficult to notice the maid addressing her differently than usual, and the flatness of her tone of voice. The Paladin knew Sera wasn't exactly happy with her response.<br/><br/>So, even as the maid stood up from the bed, Lise stood as well and pulled the younger woman into a gentle hug.<strong>"I... I'm sorry, Sera. I truly am. Last night was..."</strong>She couldn't deny it.<strong>"The most pleasurable experience of my life..." </strong>She whispered, her voice shaking.<strong>"I- I need to find a way to control myself. Please, I hope you understand that. I can't stay too long... I have my duties with the guard that I'm late for."<br/></strong><br/><strong>"I'll fix something up for myself, so please rest when you can, dear Sera."</strong>She glanced to the cum-soaked bed.<strong>"Feel free to use my quarters to rest."</strong>She smiled.<br/><br/>With that, the Paladin left Sera to care for herself. Lise fixed herself up a late breakfast, to give herself energy for the rest of the day, and ate as quickly as she could. All the while, she had a frown on her face, troubled by everything that happened. She had so happily taken advantage of poor Sera the previous night, and now hurt her feelings... the last thing she had ever wanted to do. But having sexual relations with Sera had felt... so good.<strong>So</strong>good. So unbelievably pleasant. All of the lewdity she'd been involved in had felt so satisfying and fulfilling. It<em>had</em>to be wrong. Had to be. It<em>was</em>wrong. But why did it feel so<em>right</em>? Why couldn't she deny the sense of satisfaction and warmth that seemed to radiate off her after a day of so many pleasant sexual experiences?<br/><br/>She was still struggling with such thoughts as she donned her armor, keeping her word to Celine as she didn't don the usual straps to keep her cock down. She hoped that at least something good came of last night's debauchery and her shaft would remain tamed for the rest of the day.<br/><br/>And with that, Lise left the house quickly to make her way toward the guard barracks, to apologize for her tardiness and spend a few hours taking meetings in her office before leaving to visit Lihrit's temple. When she arrived, she offered an excuse to the sergeant about how she'd been with her children through the morning. An outright lie, but it was the best she could come up with. Then she made her way to her office.<br/><br/>Lise hadn't wanted a very lavish office, but the one they'd given her was still spacious enough (https://img00.deviantart.net/26ac/i/2016/078/7/8/office_by_arai14-d9vmlwy.jpg). Two windows illuminated the room from the back, with the a simple desk sitting before them. A couple of portraits hung on the back wall and the wall to the side, while the other wall was covered in bookshelves on various subjects, religious, military, books of local knowledge, Legalian history and culture and customs. And finally a small sitting area in one corner. It was more than she needed, but it was more than enough for the Paladin to be happily comfortable as she worked and took meetings.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Lise de Durandier</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong>Class</strong>: Paladin 6 (Sacred Servant/Sword of Valor)<br/><strong>Race</strong> Human<br/><strong>Alignment</strong>: Lawful Good<br/><hr/><strong>Armor Class </strong>24; <strong>Hit Points </strong>52; <strong>Speed </strong>20 ft.<br/><strong>STR </strong>18 (+4), <strong>DEX </strong>12 (+1), <strong>CON </strong>14 (+2), <strong>INT </strong>12 (+1), <strong>WIS </strong>14 (+2), <strong>CHA </strong>20 (+5)<br/><hr/><strong>Initiative: </strong> +6<br/><strong>Attacks:</strong> Longsword, +12, 1d8+6<br/><strong>Saving Throws: </strong> Fort +8, Ref +4, Will +8<br/><strong>Skills: </strong>Diplomacy +14, Heal +8, Knowledge: Nobility +10, Knowledge: Religion +10, Sense Motive +8<br/><strong>Languages: </strong>Common, Celestial<br/><hr/><strong>Features</strong><br/>Detect Evil<br/>Smite Evil: 2/day<br/>Lay on Hands: 3d6+1, 8/day, removes fatigue<br/>Aura of Courage: Immune to fear, allies in 10ft gain +4 bonus vs fear<br/>Channel Positive Energy: 30ft, 3d6+1, DC 18 Will, 8/day<br/><hr/><strong>Equipment: </strong><br/>Silver holy symbol, elegant gown, Cursed Necklace of Charisma +2, 5000 gold<br/><hr/><strong>Spells</strong><br/><hr/><strong>Active effects</strong><br/>The curse of Ah'mie<br/><br/><strong>Sheet:</strong> https://www.myth-weavers.com/sheet.html#id=1840516<br/></div></div>
