Grace’s golden eyes were calm, though a faint blush still lingered on her cheeks from the continuous attention to her chest.
"I’ve decided."
She took a small breath, then continued.
"I don’t want the third option."
Jake didn’t interrupt.
"I... I like being intimate with you," she admitted quietly, her voice growing a little shy.
"I like it a lot. But I don’t want my strength to depend on always being aroused or... being used. If I become stronger, I want it to be something I can rely on even when we’re not doing those things."
She turned her head slightly so she could look at him more directly.
"I want to stand beside you properly."
Her soft hand slowly and gently rested over his that was currently groping her breasts as she continued, her voice quiet but firm.
"...There will be times when I might not be aroused. Or times when we can’t do those things at all."
She lowered her gaze slightly, golden eyes reflecting the soft crystal light on the water.
"If my strength depends on always being in that state... then what happens when I need to fight but I’m not? What if you’re not there to... make me feel that way? I don’t want to suddenly become weaker just because of that."
Her fingers tightened slightly over his hand.
"I don’t want to be powerless in those moments. I want to be able to protect myself... and protect you... no matter the situation."
Jake listened quietly.
After a moment, he gave a small nod, a faint smile appearing on his face.
"...I understand."
Then, without warning, the atmosphere shifted.
A mischievous glint flashed in Jake’s eyes as his fingers casually rolled one of her stiffened pink nipples between them under the warm water.
"Hyaa...!"
Grace let out a soft, seductive gasp, her soft body twitching slightly against him as the sudden stimulation shot through her chest.
Jake leaned in from behind and pressed a slow kiss against the side of her neck, his lips brushing over her damp skin as he continued lightly playing with her sensitive nipple.
"Then..." he murmured near her ear, voice low and teasing, "what will your choice be?"
His fingers gave her nipple another gentle roll as he waited for her answer, clearly enjoying the way her body reacted even while discussing something so serious.
Grace’s cheeks flushed deeper, her breathing growing a little uneven from the sudden playful attention.
But then, as she tilted her head while Jake continued nuzzling against her neck, Grace’s golden eyes slowly grew serious.
"...Jake."
Her soft voice carried a quiet weight this time.
"My family... the Dawn bloodline, has always had a deep connection with Light Manifestation. It’s not just a skill to us. It’s something that runs through our blood."
Jake paused slightly, his lips still resting against the soft skin of her neck as he quietly inhaled her warm, pleasant fragrance.
Grace continued in a calm tone.
"I heard that my father also followed that path. He chose a class focused on pure light... and that was part of how he became one of the strongest in the world."
Jake slowly pulled back just enough to look at the side of her face.
"You mean..."
Grace nodded firmly.
"Yes."
Her golden eyes met his with quiet resolve.
"I want to choose Dawn Marksman."
The warm water gently rippled around them as she spoke those words, her soft body still nestled between his legs.
Even though her cheeks still carried a faint blush from his earlier teasing, her expression was clear and determined.
Jake looked at her for a moment longer, then gave a small nod.
"Alright."
He turned his attention back to the floating system window and selected the first option without hesitation.
[Ding!]
[Elite Class Selected: Dawn Marksman]
[Class Change in progress...]

The Next Morning
Soft morning light filtered in through the large window of their luxury inn room in Haunfen City.
Jake sat quietly beside it, a fine porcelain cup of coffee in one hand as he gazed outside.
From the upper floor of the inn, he had a clear view of the main street below.
Haunfen City was already beginning to stir with life... merchants opening their stalls, early customers walking about, and the occasional carriage rolling down the clean stone roads.
Unlike the chaos they had left behind in Nasha Town, this city felt peaceful and orderly under the soft morning sun.
Jake took a slow sip of the warm coffee.
"Haunfen City really is different. Quiet... and much cleaner. O-Ohh~."
Just as he muttered those words, he felt a pleasant and warm, wet sensation around his cock.
Jake glanced downward.
Between his spread legs, Grace was currently kneeling on the soft carpet in front of him.
Her front shirt buttons were undone, revealing her huge, shapely pale breasts as they hung and swayed enticingly with her movements.
Her golden hair swayed gently with each motion as she bobbed her head up and down in a steady, devoted rhythm, her small mouth stretched tightly around his thick shaft.
Slurp...
Slurp...
Slurp...
Her golden eyes were half-lidded with quiet focus as she continued sucking him with soft, wet sounds, completely absorbed in the act of serving him first thing in the morning inside their luxurious room.
She wanted to prove that even without those pleasure-type classes, she could still make Jake feel good by herself and her own ability.
Jake let out a quiet breath and reached down, gently resting his free hand on top of her head as he continued watching the lively street below.
His other hand still held the warm cup of coffee.
Jake took another slow sip of coffee, as a faint, content smile forming on his lips.
’Ahh~ Life is truly great at the moment.’
A warm bed.
A quiet, high-class room.
Good coffee.
And a beautiful, devoted woman kneeling between his legs, willingly sucking him first thing in the morning.
Jake leaned back slightly against the chair, enjoying both the soft warmth of Grace’s mouth and the peaceful view outside the window.
For now... at least for this moment, things were good.
Almost as if those thoughts had jinxed him—
Knock!
Knock!
Knock!
An urgent series of knocks suddenly rang out from the door.
Then a tense male voice came from the other side of the door.
"Sir Jake! Lady Grace! Forgive the interruption, but Madam Vivian wishes to see both of you urgently!"
