"What of Talindra?" I ask. I should make sure she hasn't enjoyed herself too much. She almost killed my children in Aurora and taunted a lot. It sounds like she has had it a bit too easy so far. Playing around with my slave like it was her toy.
"She. Um, I don't know?" Yuki says. "They didn't ntion her. I guess they kind of forgot about her."
"The others on the boat?"
"Duchess Fluvis has them," Aurora says. "Talindra is yours as a slave. Nobody cares about her enough to even talk about her. She already has the collar on, and you can deal with her later."
"I see. That works out for . Soone tell Talindra that she can keep torturing Esiyae for now, but she'll be joining the maids once Esiyae pops."
"I'll have Annoris inform her," Shyla says. "Shall we bring in the next?"
"Please."
The shifty bitch cos stumbling in next. Her body is still suffering from the damage Elora had given her. Her arm keeps her from crawling as she should be doing. She does collapse at my feet, doing her best to keep her arm and ribs safe. I lift her head up with my foot and look into her tired eye. Elora really did a number on her.
"You look like shit," I say.
"I feel like shit," the bitch says. "I can hardly breath, my arm is broken. I would be surprised if I didn't look like shit. Everyone wants to bla for their problems."
"Is this the thod you use to make like you?"
"I did nothing to you. I fought for my Queendom and my wife. I made Esiyae give you clothing and let you get healed. What did I do that is so bad? I took control from Esiyae and followed the rules."
"You made get pregnant."
"I ended the issue quickly."
"Is that all that matters?"
"Would you have liked it to continue? I didn't have full control over Esiyae. I did what would let you and Elora get healed and in bed quickly. I could've let you walk away without any revenge as well. I could've made it just so you get pregnant. Instead, I let you get your revenge. I knew there was more than one kid in the womb. I don't know the count, but I doubt you gave your rapist just twins. Did I say a thing? Did she hurt you for it? No, I shuffled her away. I knew about Elora breaking the rules while we were on the island, and I did nothing. I didn't threaten your life when the Duchess ca to save you. No. I did the best I could to get you out of the situation and get healed. If you expect to roll over and die when the war starts, then why shouldn't you and Elora have just done what we asked while you were our prisoners?"
"Elora sure seems to bla you," I say, rolling her head around with my foot. "She didn't do all this for fun."
"I was just the one she could take out her anger on. I slowed her progression down and nearly killed her. Do you think she would be kind to ? She took out her frustrations, and this is what that looks like. If we won the war and captured you, would we get to beat you and rape you as we please? Is that acceptable to you? Yes, we would've taken your child, and so I'm not here saying heal and tell you're sorry for the pain you've caused . I'm not going to demand you set free. But I will ask you to truly think about what I have done. I knew we weren't going to win the war. I was hoping to take over the Queendom and start to make things right between our Nations. Instead, my stupid wife kept putting in a danger where I couldn't take the right steps to wrestle control from her."
"Child for a child? I don't care if you planned to do sothing. If I had to care about everyone's plans and wants I would never get a damn thing and I could never be mad at anyone."
"I'm married to the Queen. You'll likely marry the Queen. We can't do child for a child."
"Fine, then you'll be my pet if I'm forced to marry that bitch. You'll have the Queen as your pet, and you'll be mine. You'll walk around with a collar and a leash. If anyone asks who you are, you'll have to tell them you're my pet. That or I'll accidentally give you just too many kids in the heat of so passionate love making and you'll burst like little Esiyae."
"I'm a..."
"A little pet. You want to heal those wounds? Then tell you'll be a good girl for . You only have yourself to bla. You shouldn't have married the idiot, or you should've just taken control before the war."
I let her head drop off my foot as we wait for her pride to dissipate. I'm marrying too many won I don't care about. My mana is excited for all the won to warm my bed and carry my kids. My magma is bubbling up at the thought of taking this woman right here. But Tirlo is in the room and is more than enough to keep clothed. This bitch was pretty, and I'm sure her kind is part of what gave Tirlo her pale blue color. Would this one give a kid with an even darker shade? I hope Tirlo has ice breath instead of magma. It would be really cool and should help little Tirlo feel better with her daddy being a rapist, and likely dead.
I'll have to figure out how to handle that when so many of the parents are going to be unloved or slaves. I'll have to be careful so they all know they are loved and special to .
"I'll be your pet," the bitch finally says, kissing my foot.
"Good," I say, slicing her broken arm off. That thing is so destroyed, it really is easiest just to cut it off and start fresh. Yuki helps everyone by silencing the bitch's screams for us. I work two strands of mana to heal her ribs and arm. My little pet does her best to control her body, but I have a lot of fixing to do with the neglected wounds. "Thank you, Yuki. I guess I got a little too used to their screams during the war."
"Your Highness, your patients normally had sothing to bite down on and weren't sprawled out on the floor," Shyla says. "But, yes, you probably got used to won being in pain around you."
"Oh, yes, didn't think about that. Well, it's just my pet. She'll live. Won't you, little girl?" Her silent screams are all she responds with, but her arm is nearly complete again, and her ribs just have a few chips to fix, and she'll be good to crawl out of here. "There you go."
"Thank you," my pet says, her body shaking.
"Leave, I want to finish this and get to spend so ti with my kids."
She doesn't respond, just works to get her feet under her and stumbles out. The next bitch coming in quickly behind her.
"You're pregnant," I say.
"Yes," the woman says. "That wasn't my plan. You just went for it, and I'm here now."
"Is this what you normally look like?" I ask. She looks like a small tan wood elf. ssy brown hair that just reaches her shoulders, and her belly just showing as she holds the rags tight against her body. Soone is hoping that little mistake of mine keeps her alive.
"I don't know. It has been too long since I've been my normal look. I don't rember how I used to look. This is just the form that I don't need to think about."
"Think that kid is going to save you?"
"I didn't hurt you. I helped you get free in a way, right? I didn't make any of the decisions. I just did what they asked of . I swear I didn't know that they were going to rape you or that you would get pregnant. I'm just a weak woman who has one good skill. I had nothing. Please. I'm sorry for the pain I've caused. I don't like the outcos. I'm sorry."
"I don't believe you. You knew what was going to happen."
"No, I thought Esiyae just wanted revenge on Elora. I was tasked with becoming Elora's maid, not yours or anything. I swear I didn't an to get pregnant. I was just supposed to know how easy it was to get to you. I didn't know you would have such a strong desire. I promise I had no intent of carrying your child. They didn't hurt you much after they took you. They freed you and and and the war ended. I. I'm sorry. I didn't want it. I didn't want any of this. Please."
"Please, what? What do you want now?"
"I don't know. I don't know. I was just a useful tool, and now what is going on? I'm a prisoner, which makes sense. I was a spy. But I don't know. I just told people things about what was going on. I didn't know what was happening. They never told anything important. I was a disposable thing. I wanted out, but I didn't know what to do. I just want to rest and not worry about getting caught. I'm sorry."
That doesn't help. Why did I do this? It was easier when they didn't say a damn thing to . I could just toss her away. Victoria said sothing about rest, right? Do I pair those two up then?
"Does Victoria have a maid?" I ask.
"I don't think so?" Aurora says. "Lady Victoria could have a second maid, anyway. We don't have to give this one the sa benefits, so it shouldn't matter if she doubles up."
"There you go," I say. "Be a good maid. I heard she wants to rest, so do that. If I find out you lied, I'll tie you up and have Elora take your head or sothing."
"Thank you," the changeling says. "I'll do my best."
"Good, now go be a maid or sothing," I say. "I want to be with my kids. Just do understand Victoria is likely going to use you to avoid getting pregnant herself. She may make the mistake of thinking the first one is easy, but from there on out she will find a way for you to get pregnant instead of her."
"I understand and that's fine. I should have sothing to make this unpleasant for . Thank you for the rcy."
"I guess you don't have much choice, I guess."
