*** Alzi ***
It was a short trip through the grand halls of the castle to make it to the throne room, I think. It had a throne and a bunch of tapestries, flags, and stuff, so I don't know what else it could be. The Queen rests on the throne, watching us enter with a small smile. A bright red dress covers her, even showing her pregnancy to everyone. Lottie stands behind her in a similar green dress, her pregnancy showing as well.
I really thought this wouldn't be the throne room?
"Welco," the Queen says. "I am happy to see you all. I know there have been a lot of developnts, but first things first. Lady Alzi, I would like to talk to my daughter for a bit, and there are a few people here who would love to spend ti with you first as well. I'm sure you'll be happy to talk to them over us. Don't go running off. We have things to discuss before the day is done. Sorry to make this day a bunch of etings. But there are a lot of important matters to discuss."
The doors I just walked through open again, Kelly leading the way with a bright smile. She steps to the side and lets my Mommy through with our two kids in her arms—Mai's pregnant form hiding behind the three dragons.
Where is Yuki?
"Hello, my baby," Mommy says. "I'm so happy to see you alive. I was worried sick with you being at war. You even have the collar off." She can't hug with the kids in her arms, but they are the ones I need to see—a cute boy and girl, the boy a deep red, and the girl is golden.
Would that make the girl a Princess?
"Mommy," I say. "I've missed you."
"And I've missed you," Mommy says. "Thank you for getting help with the birth. I was so scared when I went into labor so early, but it was expected at my age with twins. Co on, hold them, and I'll see my grandkids. You have another on the way with Mia. She could use so love." She holds out the two kids for to take, Sarania moving the stroller over so Mommy can trade. I take the kids with shaky hands, and Ilko cos to help hold them.
"No need to rush through the eting," the Queen says. "I have no plans to separate you two again. Nesh found a lot of mistakes were made a decade ago. I won't be making those mistakes again. Get familiar with each other again, and then I'll call you all back for a eting, Lady Alzi, and then you'll leave with your lovers. We'll find a different room so you don't have to move around with the kids."
"Thank you, Your Royal Highness," my Mommy says. I just stare into my kid's eyes. Sorry, I missed their first monts.
"Sorry for failing to fix things faster for your family," the Queen says. "Now, Elora, co with and drag those two prisoners with you. Carefully, we don't need them dying on us right now."
"Yes," Elora says. "Your Royal Highness."
"Enough of that daughter. I won't have you talking to like that after you won us a war."
"Yes, Your."
A slap rings out behind , ending the sentence. Shortly followed by a crowd of heels moving away. I see who taught Elora how to show her love.
"Where is Yuki?" I ask. I do have so questions for her, and I don't know why she isn't protecting Mommy. "Actually, why are you here already?"
"So long questions, my little rainbow," Mommy says, picking up the unknown Goddess. Why didn't I ask Space? Fuck, she must've known and decided not to tell ! Is she trying to get Geta to like ? Maybe she forgot about it as well, or thought Geta already told . "The Queen had offered us so guards before. When the war started, the old Queen offered us a room in the castle for so extra safety after Yuki left for a mission. So, for now, I guess we do live here, and they did ntion a deal that may end with us living here for a while."
"A deal?" I ask. "What deal did you get from the Queen? How? What have you been doing?"
"That goes into what Yuki is doing," Mommy says, looking towards Namora. "You make cute kids. Is this one yours? Sorry, I don't know your na."
"Yes, her na is Namora," Sarania says. "I am Sarania, and I am working as your daughter's servant."
"I see. Thank you for helping her. She needs a lot of it. The gold is beautiful."
"Thank you. It is an honor to serve Alzi and finally et the great woman who raised her."
"Thank you. Alzi is special. Sorry I got distracted. This is just a lot at once. Yuki. She has been trying to get us into the marriage with you and Elora. Working missions nonstop with Nakuma. She got another one around the ti of the war. One that, if she completed, would earn us a marriage with Elora. I think it had to do with your kidnapping, as she was secretive about it and the war happening right after. She has been working with a human warrior as well. She is a sweet girl if you ignore her ... flavored words. Anyway, they went on the mission, and I think they should be close to completing it. That is likely what they wish to talk with the Princess about. I don't think the Queen is supposed to make those kinds of deals with Princesses fighting for the throne. It would be great to marry her."
"But I just divorced the Princess," I say. "I. Do you want to marry her?"
"Hmm? You divorced a Princess?" Mai says, her tail sticking straight up. "Is that allowed? Wait, couldn't we just marry you then?"
"That was the plan," I say. "But if Yuki completes the mission."
"The deal may stand and turn into us being on the hook to marry the Princess," Akhae says. "What a ss this has beco. Yuki should've gotten a better deal, or maybe she just told us wrong. It seems the Queen doesn't want to control you anymore, so she may just ignore it and let us go."
"Yes, this is getting more complicated. But as the Queen said later," Mommy says. "Right now, I have my daughter back, and she's free and has four little babies for to spoil."
I'm back. I'm finally back with my Mommy, and I can start a family with her and the ones I love. Kids that are mine.
"Oh, co here, baby. Looks like I've got five babies I need to spoil right now."
"Yes, Mommy," I cry, finally feeling free. The pain rushes out in tears as they all huddle around in a strange group hug, careful not to crush my babies.
*** Yuki ***
"Are we ready?" I ask. It's a far jump getting to the capital from this wasteland, so everything has to be perfect, and the amount of mana needed is insane. Even with our slaves pouring everything they have into the circle isn't enough power to get us back. I've had to go hunting a few tis now to keep the stupid forest beasts away, which is chipping away at my mana supply as well.
Then, the stupid search parties. I thought they would all be at war, yet they've found won willing and able to co this deep to find these two fuckers. They most certainly know it is kitsune they are after. Tricking them from getting too close was more difficult than it should've been. But finally, we should be getting close to having the circle done and filled. The Queen won't let us connect to the one in the stupid castle, as if we couldn't sneak in anyway, adding yet another hurdle. We can't let that one interfere.
All-in-all an annoying affair. Nakuma has done almost all the work, but I know my ruins as well. I just don't have the right affinity for the circle.
"Almost," Nakuma says. "Just a bit more mana and one last check, and we can go. No need to fail this mission on the last step or let people follow us through."
I wanted to place so explosives around the circle, but Nakuma didn't want to stir Nature, which is probably the right choice even though it adds to our work.
"Then I'll do one last scout. Should be good when I get back."
"Yes, you go fuck off for a bit, and she may just finish the damn thing," Victoria says, not willing to miss a chance to curse out. "Go run around in your little fucking circles and pretend to do sothing."
"I kept several search parts from finding us and cleared several beasts from the area. I did not pretend to do sothing. I did sothing, unlike you."
"Like any of that was shit needed. I could've killed the damn beast myself and the stupid fucking search parties if they sohow found us in this damn grove. Now shoo, I want to have a warm fucking bath tonight, and the longer you stay around here, the less like that is to fucking happen. Stop distracting Nakuma."
"Damn bitch," I mumble. Fuck does she irritate . I would say Nakuma asked her to do it, but it flows too naturally off her rotten tongue for it to be an act. No, Nakuma just gets lucky that I need to cuddle into her arms and hide from that vile woman sotis. Soon, I can just hide with Alzi, threatening to convince Alzi that Victoria wants a monstrous-sized pregnancy.
Maybe I should do that anyway and get back at her. See how she likes the work of carrying it around. Of course, I'll have to do it as well. Maybe a few tis, even to make sure I have plenty of ti to get Alzi to pamper pregnant little , and I can wrap her up in my tails as she feels for our little ones kicking their poor mother.
The forest is practically empty around us. The monsters have figured out that a new group has claid the territory for now. Or Nature is doing sothing. I'm sure Alzi is scaring her and Justice. Possibly into action. A proper war is in the works now, one that goes all the way into the divine realm.
Pregnancies may need to wait if Alzi can handle that. I'm sure more than one woman is walking away pregnant after the marriage. But we'll need to keep the rest in check.
I make it halfway around our camp and decide to check back. Nakuma must be close.
"The bitch is already back," Victoria says. "Nakuma got you on the leash already? Going to do so tricks for us?"
"Just shut it," I say.
"I'm ready," Nakuma says. "Shall we go?"
"Please," I say.
Nakuma doesn't give anyone else to voice their opinion, taking us right back to the house I've spent a small fortune on to only sleep inside for a single night. But there is no ti to dwell on that. I need to get my reward.
