"I thought they couldn't go through steel!" Elora says.
"They can," Ioelena says. "As you now know. Thanks, Nanoka, for helping with the other tricks."
"I guess this is about what I should expect," I say. "I'm really not looking forward to seeing what sex with them looks like."
"Probably just them swimming in your cum," Eterna says. "They would need the Goddess of Space to make it work otherwise, and she clearly won't be helping them."
"That's going to be weird. But I can deal with that," I say. "Shall we head inside?"
"Yes, you all packed extra underwear, right?" Ioelena asks. "But yes, we can head inside now. I think I spotted a fairy ssing around in the forest, so we should be good for tomorrow. Hopefully, that one goes better than this. Fairies are more polite."
"They hate you for no reason," I say. "So not that much better. This is a lot different from what I thought it would be."
I'm the first to get up from the table. I'm guessing Elora is deciding what to do about her armor issue. I'm surprised she didn't notice the disappearance. tal should be wildly different from what she was wearing underneath. The pixies can't be that good at covering their tracks.
"It wasn't everyone that lost them, right?" I ask.
"It was," Eterna says. "I could've stopped them from taking mine, but it was kind of funny."
"Nanoka?"
"There is a reason I didn't promise to stop all their pranks," Nanoka says. "It is quite embarrassing if we could get to the house, please."
"I can say mine are still intact, My Queen," Kou says. "Seems there are so barriers that they can't pass."
"They really could've run off with my crown then," I sigh. "Kou, they probably think your situation is funnier than taking your underwear."
"I don't know what you an, My Queen," Kou says. "This is perfectly normal when the lady can get the head maid pregnant at will."
"Because you're the only one doing it," I say.
"They could've run off with your crown," Ioelena says. "This eting was rather ta if you compare it to the rest of them. I think Geta and Eterna really put a damper on their tricks."
"Oh, Geta, did you lose yours?" I ask. That would be bold to take a Valkyrie of death's panties from her.
"No, it should be just you and that are safe," Geta says.
Well, there's not much else to do, so I start walking back through the garden. I'm the one wearing all my clothing this ti around. I do wish the pixies hadn't left so upset from my first eting with an outside power as a Queen.
It's kind of nice being the one dressed correctly instead of being naked in the middle of nobles. I'll have to handle the pixies carefully when I'm going to heal their people. Not only to reward them for this funny walk, but for the help in the war I kind of brought to them.
Hopefully, the talks are just as short tomorrow, but have a better ending. Don't need both sides sad after eting .
"You did well," Nanoka says. "They should know better than to try to steal your crown."
"I know."
"You just seem a bit sad," Nanoka says. "You've got what you want, and they're getting plenty in return. They'll feel a lot better after your visit. I know you'll leave a good impression on them. You have that kind of energy. They were happy till they hurt themself. Like Ysa said, they have to be open to tricks not working."
"I just hope that it doesn't go this way with the fairies," I say.
"It won't," Omylia says. "I just got word that the fairies will et with you sa ti tomorrow, My Queen."
"Good," I say. "I never scheduled a ti to et with the pixies."
"I will work it out with Kou, My Queen," Omylia says. "Don't worry, they should be fine with eting around lunch, and the fairies can be the afternoon after all the negotiations. I'm guessing the fairies will want a similar deal."
"That sounds good," I say. I think fixing things with Fertility is the only way I'm not going to be having children for all my deals. Hopefully, I can get her to add more dicks into the world. Maybe have them look like her more? I should ask her why herms are so rare.
"Dinner?" Omylia asks. "A bit early, but we have enough courses to make it worth it."
"That would be great," I say. A long dinner wouldn't be too bad.
...
Dinner is a lot of fun. Honestly, they act more like how I was expecting the Pixies to act. Plenty of laughing and teasing. Ioelena took a bit of wine to calm down. I have put a lot of stress on Elora's wives, but they deserve so of it. If all of them had sat Elora down, they could've changed how our first eting went.
Elora was friendly with the wine. Which did not bring out much from her, she seems more likely to fall asleep than the loud storytelling I was expecting. Honestly, it seed to get her down instead of loosening her load like Ioelena. Maybe I should stop her? I know our baby will be able to clean up her milk, so I don't have to worry about that. But she's had a lot to drink.
"My Queen," Kou whispers. "This is an ask, more of a plea, from Sedriresa. She hopes you will take Elora to bed. Not for sex or anything. Elora is too far gone to be trying that right now. Instead to see what is going on with her. Elora is normally louder while drunk, not quieter. I agree that it would be smart to see what is going on. Elora was ready to use you to commit suicide. Sothing is pressing on her."
"I suppose that is my job now," I say.
"It can be, My Queen," Kou says. "You could also give the job of harem managent to another wife. Making it their job to keep everyone happy. I will say it works better if the head wife is caring for the happiness of the harem, but so do manage with soone else handling it."
"I can do it," I say. "I have the extra bodies, but I may need to have so help from each group."
"That would be smart for your size," Kou says. "I'll work out so good people to handle each group, My Queen."
"Probably better to do it now," I say. She's not getting any more sober when she has her own bottle of wine.
"Yes, My Queen," Kou says.
"Ehm, sorry, but I need to get so rest. The pregnancy is getting hard on . Please, keep enjoying the night," I say. "I know I'm a bit earlier for the night. Elora, I would love to spend so ti with you."
"Yeess, myyy looove," Elora slurs, her eyes going wide. Sedriresa has to pull Elora out of her chair and help her walk. Elora tried to take the bottle with her, but Sedriresa sneaks it away from her and pulls her over to .
"Thank you for joining us," Ortis says. "It's a joy having you here. I haven't been through a pregnancy, but I've seen how draining they all are. Thank you for staying so long for dinner."
"Thank you, it's been a wonderful dinner," I say. Kou leads our strange group to the bedroom. A simple room, more than enough for my use, and it is even mostly black, so my light doesn't bounce around too much.
Sedriresa quickly strips Elora down, putting a robe on the wavering princess. "Your Highness," Sedriresa says. "Be careful."
"Yes, yes, yeeeesssss," Elora says. "I'm the biitch."
"That isn't what I'm saying," Sedriresa says. "Just be nice. I know I'm worrying too much. Just. I'm worrying over nothing. I'll just be a call away."
She really isn't giving much confidence in this eting. Elora will be fine.
Of course, Kou is busy stripping as well. I take a bit longer due to the belly and wings, but soon it's just and Elora in the bed. She seems half asleep, which is a bit weird with how animated the rest of the drunks were at dinner.
"How are you doing?" I ask. I start to rub her back as she rests her head on my shoulder. A cute pose if we were getting painted. Should I do that? Get a family painting? Maybe with all my wives pregnant. That would be funny. Having them all heavily pregnant and I'm the only one thin, sothing to think about in a few years.
"Should I be happy?" Elora asks.
"I don't know," I say. "Our kid is cute and happy. You're getting the throne. You'll get pregnant again soon. I'm treating you better than even I ever thought I would. So, maybe?"
"I am, sotis," Elora says. "But, I don't deserve it."
The tears start flowing. Not many, but I feel them begin to slide down my shoulder.
"The way you treated was terrible," I say with a soft sigh. "But you did treat better than I had been in a while. Not much better. Getting taken away from my Mommy hurt a lot, and Mai, but I wasn't abused every day. I don't know if I truly would've been happier with you than at the brothel, but you did keep shortening the ti to marrying Mommy, so I eventually would've been happier with you than at the brothel. So why shouldn't you eventually be happy? I'm forgiving a lot. I think you should take it. I need a Queen. You can do that for . I need you to do that for . Your Mother has done worse to than you. She's the one who could've stopped this from ever happening. You ca in and made a random change to my terrible situation. She just sat on her throne raising my kid for years. Not to ntion that I should've clearly been a champion getting abused in her city while all she did was use to get pregnant, twice. You're allowed to be happy. I want you to be happy, if only for our kid. So, I permit you to be happy. We can work on it together. We both need so help feeling right. I was stupid to let you try and leave our child without a Mother."
"I'm sorry," Elora says. "I thought that would be better."
"No," I say. "That is the simple answer. I was really mad at you. But I hurt you plenty there, and I think any kid you gave birth to would've made forgive you enough just to marry you. Seeing them burn. Their screams. Knowing I still have more to give the Mistress. It's probably Syro, honestly. That all felt good for a mont, and helped forgive you, but Syro's work is probably the main reason I can truly smile when I'm not around Mommy and my kids. Go to bed. When you get crowned the Queen, I'll take you again, and we'll have another kid together. This one will be easier on you. Work hard for our kids and the future. Do that and you deserve to be happy. That will fix the ss you created and give you purpose. A good purpose."
"I love you," Elora says.
"I love you too," I say. Maybe a bit of a lie, but close enough for now. Or at least I can let it be close enough for now. "Kou, can you have Syro join us when she's done with dinner?"
"Of course, My Queen," Kou says through the door.
I give Elora a soft kiss and snuggle in for bed. Hearth would be proud.
