*** Yuki ***
Holy shit is Nakuma getting hornier and hornier. At least she's not lasting as long in bed before she's sleeping peacefully in my arms, her tails wrapping up. But it is getting hard to keep her under with this aggression.
Add on Victoria's nonstop pace, and you get a tired-out Princess. If this wasn't a direct route to my Love, I would've ordered Nakuma to kill her. Well, knock her out for a few days. That damn contract she fucked with ans I need her alive.
I'm sure the Queen counted on Victoria slaving us around. Each town has the perfect quest to drive us up a bit more north or even a bit east. Buying the ingredients for my potions has been an issue in these towns.
Many would normally request the guild find them. Instead, I have to annoy Victoria enough to take a detour and grab them myself or sneak around a big city to buy them.
The Queen gave us a written order to stay out of the main cities. I'm not sure if that is to trick everyone that I'm still in the capital or to just make it seem like I don't care about the Queendom anymore. These small towns likely don't even pick them correctly to be used in a potion, if they happen to have the ingredients at all.
Three weeks, and we are just halfway to the border and four missions in, and only getting harder. The guild has fewer people to support us, so we have to plan out our attacks more than Victoria likes. Not that it matters too much that it takes ti. We have to wait for the war to break out to cross the border first anyway. From there, everyone's focus will be on the war and not the missing Kitsune Princess. Most will likely think my mother called back their little failure before she got herself killed in a foreign war.
"Princess, you need to sleep," Nakuma says. "Tomorrow, we attack."
"I know, crazy. I'm just wondering how many we should kill when we get to the Ashmark's manor. Should I bring so back for Mai? Will Alzi want any of them?" I say.
"We only have three people. We can only take two. Sleep, or I'm going to bend you over next ti."
"Fine," I say. I sink into her tails and rest my head on her breasts. Eventually, she is going to bend over. Soon Alzi can be here to help put her in place.
*** Queen Yumanea ***
Late nights are never what you want at the beginning of the pregnancy, but Elora, then Yuki, then Alzi's mother, and Elora coming in yet again have forced my hand. Even my harem has to pitch in to keep up with everything going on.
I'm crawling through all my letters to see what else my admins have been doing while I focused on Irlo. I'm still only a year into my lapse, and most of the issues are too old to fix correctly. Mining rights and whatnot have had too much investnt by one party to give them to the correct party. All I can do is put them down in a book and rember to prioritize the wronged party in the future.
Alzi's mother will be interesting to see. Does that old dragon strike gold a second ti before Alzi can get to her? I wonder if Alzi will get her pregnant again. Maybe I can try to get more dragons into Elora's harem and see if so dragons are more likely to give birth to royal dragons.
"Dear, you have a mont?" Lotus asks.
"Do any of us have a mont anymore? Please sit," I say.
"We both need a mont here and there, love," Lotus says. "I think we carry dragons. The champion must have touched her Goddess at so point now."
"Think? Honey, this dragon heats up when I walk in the garden," I say. "Irlo turned my mana into whatever it is now. This one seems very happy to use it."
"We need to leave so room for the possibility we just have so smart elves or dryads in here, so we aren't disappointed," Lotus says. "Now, we have even more issues with kids. Naly, our children giving us grandchildren."
Why does it hurt getting things confird about that dragon. "Fertility?"
"Who else?" Lotus laughs. "Our daughters are already scheduling ti with the nearest Fertility temple. You need to get Irdru to find out if it was everyone or just us. If it is everyone, you may need to keep Alzi in the capital. Maybe just have Yuki Marry Elora so she can be a bodyguard. We both know Alzi will cut right through this divine punishnt. Oracles are going to share that."
"She'll be a healer."
"Kids dear."
"If she gets stolen, I call up Queen Kiyomi and tell her we'll split Alzi right down the middle. I'll throw the collar off, and we all sit down with Alzi and work out a deal to get our people kids while I enjoy getting a territory boost for a few months. Elora basically gets handed the throne," I say. Maybe it really is a blessing getting pregnant. Getting a champion to back our throne will be useful.
"If the Kitsune ask for more?" Lotus asks. Having them look over all these reports really has given them all a door out look on things.
"I have an agreent already that Yuki is to marry Elora. I would be offering more than enough, and Alzi gets all the won she loves hand-delivered to her," I say. Worst case, I hand her so of the won who tortured her in that brothel, and I have Alzi happy even with Elora's failure to keep her safe. The Kitsune will be glad to have Alzi spend months at a ti living up there."
"Dragons?"
"Kitsunes. We lose Alzi they lose Alzi."
"If the Phoenix gets Alzi?"
"That is the only problem I see," I say. "The dragons and kitsune may help, but the dragons may just work with the Phoenixes to control Alzi or betray us." How far do I go for that champion? Fertility is the one that has no reports of a sign leaving us with another Patron Goddess, which my ancestors decided to cut out. If it is Sex like many think, then who cares. But if it is death? I doubt she would be able to live with both life and death inside her, but the Goddesses are a strange bunch.
I would hope for the Sea, but Fluvis just ca out as the champion, and we already knew her sign. Another reason Elora is going to be handed the throne. A lucky little girl.
"What then?" Lotus repeats. Soone doesn't want to lose the father.
"I'll figure sothing out," I say. "They can't just pull out a marriage."
"Dear," Lotus sighs. "That will not do. While the phoenix and dragons don't have the sa issue as the Kitsunes, giving them Alzi will open us up to issues. Think they will just stay in their realms? We still have no word on the missing Princesses. The current dragon Queen is vicious and power-hungry. Giving her unending kids and they will co for us. Figure it out will not work right now."
"What? Do you want to promise to strip and walk from my Quarters all the way to the Goddess of Fertility's temple and lie on that altar and offer my body to her so Alzi can co back here and marry her mother?"
"Yes, I carry Alzi's child as well. We can go together," Lotus says, her eyes locking with mine. "We need to get Goddesses with actual power to support us. Royalty can only do so much. This harem may have to offer everything to get Alzi back. When she does, we hand her the won you're guarding and follow our new patron Goddess."
"I am the Queen."
"Yes, and we are your harem, love," Lotus says. "We all failed this. We should have taken up this paperwork when you scurried off. Nesh should have been banging on your door every day to make you help us. When the Priestess ca telling us about the girl with glowing hair, we should have taken her contract and saved her. Elora was right. We say we want to help, and now look where we are. The little girl we should have protected is a slave who just kicked off a war. We could have prevented this thirty years ago. Now, are you going to listen to Elora and sacrifice yourself for the Queendom, or are we dood? The Kitsune may just take Alzi and run. I doubt Yuki and Nakuma are the only two running around in our city. Few more, and they may take Elora with them."
I let the question sit for a few monts. Have I really brought the Queendom to this?
"Dear," Lotus says. "I need an answer. Every Queen has to give room for the next generation."
"When was the last ti you talked to your Goddess?" I ask.
"Night before I married you, dear. How long into the future do you think she can see?"
"I don't know, and I'm not going to guess," I say. "I'll figure it out. If it requires a sacrifice to Fertility, then so be it. But you better not be leading down a road to fuck over Fertility's champion. Now leave. We all have things to do. Our own family needs to prepare to honor the Goddesses as we used to. Then, sent out an order to all the nobles to follow and do so as well. Rember who gave you that child. It wasn't your Goddess."
"My Goddess is your Goddess dear. But I will hold you to that promise," Lotus says, working out of her chair. "I do know a number of other dryads have gotten pregnant with Alzi. One even going into our version of heat. I know better than to betray you. But if a Goddess commands sothing. We all need to listen. Nature can rise up."
"Fertility has risen up, and Nature will be part of our worship. I just need to trust that you won't beco like my administrators," I say.
"You know that the Goddess of Love will keep from going too far. I would be more than willing to renew our vows if needed," Lotus says.
"No need for that far," I say. "I've gone too far. I am willing to give up everything to help the next Queen. We'll figure things out as they co."
"That is all I want, dear," Lotus says, walking over to . "Now, sleep."
"What are you doing?" I ask, the pregnant woman trying to drag out of the chair.
"Tonight, we both get to sleep," Lotus says. "War will keep us up, and we have the party to sort it all out soon."
"Fine. I had wished to sleep with my wives more, and then we all got stuck behind a desk," I say, letting her drag away.
