The Cromwell estate was a blur of activity for the next few days.
Soldiers rushed off into the woods after duty too train themselves. Craftsn from all over the kingdom flocked to the estate for the various assignnts Madeline was creating.
The word in duchy about the Cromwell family was that they were the best nobles to serve and live under. This prompted people from other duchies to abandon their hos and look for a better life in this one.
Jas sat at his desk tapping his fingers in thought while looking out his opened window.
’I have a contact in Duskmoor who’s my servant... Bashi keeps updated on the situation regularly, so I’m not particularly concerned about a war with the Orcs anymore...’
He kept thinking, trying to make sure he had everything set up so that his sisters would succeed without him there. So that his people would succeed without him. Jas had started to really feel the significance of his title as a Prince recently and it stressed him out a little.
’Public opinion of us high and the soldiers are motivated... what am I missing? Why do I feel like I don’t have the full picture?’
His source of unease was of course the witch cult. He didn’t think they would stand idly by while he prepped for the future.
Jas always glanced at his character sheet too; Justine was a mystery he couldn’t solve. He felt her die. She was cold and unmoving but... damn it. He couldn’t figure it out; he didn’t even have the slightest clue as to what happened with her.
’I grieved for her! Argh.. this is pointless.. I’m going in circles.’
The other matters that concerned him were those scouts from the Unclaid Land. Who knows what they were up to.
Sa with the Elven kingdom and Ravenstar, the peace was maintained, but for how long. There weren’t any rumors circulating about dark deeds from either country so Jas let that matter drop.
He felt hands on his shoulders and jumped a little when Veronica’s face appeared next to his.
He gave her a kiss and smiled.
"What’s up? You look beautiful today I must say, did you change your braid?"
Veronica blushed and nodded happily.
"I didn’t think you would notice.. Oh! The reason I disturbed you is that Galea said she’s ready to show you your new weapon!"
Jas paused for a mont, then grinned.
"It’s only been three days, how’d she manage to make it so fast? Thanks for letting know!"
Veronica helped him up and they started walking out of his room. Jas turned to her before opening the door and hugged her.
He was truly stunned by her beauty each ti he saw her and wanted to take a mont to cherish her.
His hand trailed along the scars on her face and tucked so lose hair behind her ear.
Jas was less than a foot shorter than her now, so it wasn’t too awkward of a move.
"Is there sothing on my face.."
Veronica was red faced as she stared down at him and Jas replied with a big smile.
"Sorry, you just enchant every ti I see you. I don’t understand how it’s possible for soone to be so pretty."
His sweet words made the tall woman stagger a little and he laughed.
Emily was outside the door and had been obviously eavesdropping because she pushed into the room then.
"That’s not fair! Complint too.."
Jas took her and Veronica’s hand and placed them in his chest then. He spoke with a warm smile.
"Do you girls feel that, feel how fast it’s beating? I’m still nervous around you two because of insanely beautiful you both are. I still can’t believe you’re mine, I really do love you two."
The won froze for a mont and reddened further. They nodded to each other and bent down. Placing a kiss on both cheeks, they giggled when Jas blushed back.
"So... you can make a cute face like that to. I love you too Jas." Emily spoke with a wonderfully bright expression.
"I-I love you too! Really Jas, I’m so happy I can stand beside you and that you accept as your woman." Veronica chid in frantically, trying not to be left out.
Jas laughed and embraced them; Galea was going to have to wait a little while longer. The three undressed and headed to the large bed.
Jas let his unease fade while he pounded Veronica’s huge ass and he was at peace by the ti Emily laid underneath him, her fat tits jiggling crazily.
Veronica sulked a little afterwards, Emily had won the right to carry Jas to Galea by winning this worlds version of rock paper scissors.
He had started to really think of this place as his ho now as maids greeted him cheerfully and guards saluted proudly.
’I wish I could thank Myen’tal personally for sending here, what a truly benevolent goddess...’
When they reached Galea’s workshop, she was ecstatic and pushed them inside.
"Co on, co on! Look at this kiddo, I’ve outdone myself this ti!"
She walked over to the middle of the shop and pulled a large sheet off a stand. Jas’s mouth dropped open when he saw what was under it.
A huge double headed war hamr shone brilliantly. It had a black handle and gold inlays, matching his family’s uniform color.
It looked heavy and an, Jas shuddered to think what it could do to soone if he swung it at full force.
"Go on now! [Identify] it and tell just how amazing I am! Hahaha!"
Galea laughed like a fool while displaying her creation and Jas rembered why this woman had infuriated him when they first t.
He did as she said though and his mouth opened wider.
[Item: Sky Breaker] [Rarity: Heroic] [Type: Weapon]
Description: Grants user 17 strength, 5 constitution 20% physical damage resistance. Enchanted with active skill [Concussive Blow (Level 15)] and passive skill [Bone Breaker (Level 10)].
Durability: 10000/10000 ( 3000 from bone salt infusion)
"Holy shit!"
Gales laughed even harder and praised herself for being so capable.
Jas didn’t even mind as he stared at the weapon that was soon to be his.
’That’s a fucking heroic rarity weapon! I only saw a couple of those when I played Fractured Worlds...’
He then looked at Galea with newfound respect. She had created an insanely valuable weapon in just three days! This woman was master of her craft!
He walked over and pulled the jubilant woman into a hug.
"Galea, you are incredible! How did you manage to make that, that fast!?"
She hugged him back and kept laughing like a madwoman.
"Hahaha! Wasn’t too hard pipsqueak, especially being able to use your family’s money to buy whatever materials I wanted! I just got a little lucky during the mold process and implented the tal ratios better than I expected. You can thank your sister for setting up with a good inscriptionist which those enchanted skills."
Jas was in disbelief and hugged the woman harder.
"But still!? A heroic rarity?! That’s outstanding, I didn’t think you’d be done this soon much less making sothing so aweso!"
Galea preened happily at his admiration.
"Well since it’s just a hamr, the main portion of the weapon was made really quickly. The longest part was etching the enchantnts in it, nothin’ to it really."
Jas could see through her lie. Heavy dark circles under her eyes told him that she had been pushing herself hard for him.
"You’re a treasure Galea, I’m glad you ca here."
She coughed a little and got sowhat embarrassed that Jas wasn’t refuting her self-praise and instead giving her more.
"Tell , what do you want as a reward for making such a spectacular thing?"
Gales shifted in his arms nervously and her voice was a lot smaller than before when she responded.
"Well umm.. I don’t really need anything... my contract states—"
"Oh to hell with the contract, I want to reward you personally! Don’t be shy you old hag, tell what you want."
"Well.. if you insist.. could you maybe.. if you’re not too busy.. you know.. again.."
Jas raised an eyebrow at her incoherent rambling.
"You’re gonna have to say that again, I understood literally none of it."
Gales flushed them and looked away.
"Well, you know.. your quota.. could I maybe.. have another spot..."
Jas looked at her completely dumbfounded.
"Pick sothing else, I was going to do that regardless."
Her eyes went wide and she stamred, "Y-you were gonna.. do again anyway?"
Jas nodded seriously.
"You’re my woman you know? That ans I’ll always make ti for you. So go on then, what else do you want?"
"I could use a new anvil.. that one you just bought got pretty beat up when I went to form that weapon."
Jas shook his again.
"Pick sothing else, if your tools break or get damaged, you can replace them anyti."
Galea seed to genuinely have a hard ti of thinking of sothing she wanted. Her expression turned flustered, and she yelled at him.
"You little runt, there’s nothing that I want! You trying to piss off or sothing!? Just co and spend so ti with every so often! Damn you! Makin’ say sothing so embarrassing at my age... hurry up and take your weapon."
Jas just held her close and smiled.
He gave her forehead a quick kiss and said, "You’re so cute."
He squeezed her ass and let her go, turning to wield his new toy.
He was awestruck when he lifted the massive war hamr and wondered if it would be more apt to call it a maul.
The surge of power he felt holding it made him feel like a god. His strength shot up to a total of 80 with the bonus from his title active as well. His physical resistance was also at 40% if the title and weapon stacked, he’d have to ask soone about that later.
Jas rembered the quality of difference his speed and strength had felt after hitting 50 and wondered if 100 would do the sa.
He didn’t notice anything when his constitution hit 50 and hoped there was a hidden bonus attached to it.
Growing excited, he left the smithy with a spring in his step, not hearing Galea ramble about how she wasn’t cute.
His next stop had been decided; Jas led their trio to the barracks training ground.
He had a lot of things he wanted to test before the academy.
