Aja Druj used to be a simple elven scholar living in the continent of Kiru.
Her na was different back then, but it was so long ago that she barely even rembers it.
No, it is better to say that she purposefully tried to forget it.
Once upon a ti she loved the world and everything inside of it, but then she committed the greatest taboo known amongst the races of light.
She fell in love with a fallen man.
She did not lust for him and keep him like a captured sex toy to satiate her libido.
But she genuinely, truly, loved him with everything that she had to offer.
However, one of her so called friends caught her in the act one day, treating her supposed object like a husband.
In an instant, the entire village knew about her 'disgusting habit' and she paid the ultimate price not once but twice over.
The man she loved was castrated and flayed alive before he was spit roasted over an open fla with the entire village cheering his downfall.
Aja not only had to watch it all with a broken heart, but she had to endure being stoned to death afterwards.
As she lie in the grass dying, her heart suffered irreparable damage.
She prayed to the fallen god of blood and the undead to take her emotions and everything she had ever known about herself as paynt, and in exchange she would be granted the power required to avenge her lost love.
The god accepted her bargain without much fuss, and in that mont she was reborn as a lich.
Unsurprisingly, she slaughtered her entire village without so much as batting an eye, and she carved a path of destruction all throughout the elven lands.
But eventually, she stumbled upon one of Taira's mothers who saw great promise in her, and she was brought back to the Ascalon castle.
Aja credits that mont as the day she got to truly exist and find aning in her new life.
She hung on the edge of the second queen's every word, and served her loyally at every mont of the day in the hopes of gaining more praise and recognition.
But when the vampires fell, she was lost again.
Rudderless in an endless ocean with no comprehension of where to go.
And for so reason that she did not understand, the other heads of he fallen decided that it would be best if she grabbed on to the flailing reins and led the undead faction.
And then, she found new purpose that was different from any she had ever expected; living in service to the people going through the sa plight as her.
But in her heart of hearts, she knew that if the vampires were to ever return, she would gladly step down so that the undead fallen could be led by their rightful leaders.
Under the stupefied gazes of everyone present, Aja Druj dropped onto one knee and bowed respectfully in front of Taira.
"Though you no longer use their na, I will always be glad to see a mber of the Ascalon family of vampires alive and well.
I did not get a chance to speak to you before, but I want you to know that your rightful throne is still yours. I have already begun to make the arrangents for the transfer of powe-"
"Why would you do sothing useless like that...?" He asked sleepily.
"...Pardon?"
"I didn't co here to take back a throne I don't even want in the first place. I have no interest in being any sort of king."
'Too much paperwork for you, huh darling?' Aveena joked.
'...I am going to spank you again.'
'Oh nooo! I am terrified~!'
A vein bulged in Taira's forehead as he tried to retain a stone-like expression.
'My love... Have you ever contemplated losing your anal virginity?'
'M-My what now?'
"But I don't understand." Aja said as she finally stood up.
"If you have not co for your throne... then why did you co?" she asked curiously.
Taira grabbed one of the sleeping children from Keran's arms and held her out like she was a garbage bag.
"We found them nearby. Take care of them and give them a good place to stay."
Aja stared at the sleeping undead girl who appeared to be no more than six.
She was skinny, covered in bruises, and her mouth was hanging open as she snored lightly in her sleep.
"...And where exactly did you find these children?"
"The lightning hero's base."
"What were you doing there!?"
"Killing him."
"...You're joking."
"Do we have the kind of relationship where I would be playful with you for no reason?"
Aja, and everyone else within the hall who was not a mber of Taira's party felt their jaws go slack.
However, the lich queen was undoubtedly the most surprised.
She had crossed paths with the lightning hero multiple tis, and hearing that he had suddenly been killed by this person was so absurd that she barely wanted to believe it.
But seeing as how Taira and his entire group were so stone-faced, she knew that he wasn't making up falsehoods.
"The plan you discussed with Aya... it actually worked?" she said with unhidden disbelief.
"Obviously. Will you take the children now? They will wake up soon and I can assure you they'll be hungry. They're all dreaming about food."
"O-Oh... alright then."
Aja hesitantly took the child from Taira, and displayed even more awkwardness than he did.
Two of the maids took the remaining children from Aveena and Keran; leaving Taira satisfied.
As soon as the children were in the right hands, he and the rest of his wives turned around.
"Bye."
"It was nice seeing you all!" Keran said happily.
"I-I wish we could stay..!" Complained Enyo.
"W-Wait!" Aja said "Are you really just going to leave like this?"
"Yes?" Taira said in confusion.
"You should at least stay for a night. I am sure that your journey would be a long one even at your realm. And... I am sure that your people would be sad to see you go so soon after your return."
Taira dragged his inhuman red eyes over every undead in the room who seed to be praying to whatever higher power would listen that he would not leave.
And in doing so, they made his decision so much easier to make.
If he stayed here he was going to have to speak to people, and he didn't really want to speak!
Engaging in needless conversation takes years off his immortal life!
"Pleaseee, darling?"
Taira looked down at Enyo in his arm and he felt his resolve beginning to waver.
"It is... really nice to see everyone again. I'm a little sad to be leaving them so soon."
"We can wait here for Lucia too and then go back ho together." Keran added.
"I don't mind either." Veril said.
"..."
Aja could sense that Taira still seed to have so reservations about sothing, and she tried to sweeten the deal as best she could.
"There is an empty wing in the castle that can serve as your lodgings. I will ensure that no one bothers you unnecessarily while you are there."
"Fine." Taira said imdiately.
While Enyo was out playing and chatting with her old friends, he could be a shut-in and live his life as he usually did until Lucia ca to et them.
"Though, there is sothing I must know first." Taira said.
"And that is?"
"How thick are the walls?"
Aja made a bit of a confused expression on her face, while the rest of the wives put on knowing smirks as they glanced at the only mber of their group who was not amused.
Aveena let out a bit of a soft whimper as she protectively clasped her hands behind her butt and backed away.
-
In a dark bedroom, Taira sat nude on a windowsill staring at the full moon overhead.
Concentrating on his connection with Lucia, he reached out to her and smiled when he felt her mind more clearly.
'My love.'
'Hello, darling! Are you worried about already?'
'No, not at all... Well, maybe just a bit but that is not why I contacted you.'
'Oh? Go on then.'
'We'll be staying at Aja's castle until you have finished your quest. When you are ready, just co and et us here.'
'Really? Alright then... Do I want to know how you all possibly ended up staying in such a populated place?'
'I was out voted.'
'Right, that makes sense.'
Taira let out a defeated sigh that even his wife could hear from the other side of the the continent.
'Will you do sothing for , love?' Lucia asked sweetly.
'Whatever you need.'
'Try to be more sociable, and don't just stay in your room sleeping the whole ti you're there. We've been in seclusion for 50 years and we could all use a bit more interaction with others... not with other won though.'
'...I wouldn't do-'
'You can't spend it reading or cultivating either.'
'...I was going to-'
'And you can only paint if they are landscapes outside, not one of the girls naked in bed!'
Taira smiled wryly as he ran his hands through his hair.
'I will... Try my best.'
'That is all I ask for, my love.' Lucia said sweetly. 'I wish you the best of luck.'
When Taira felt her connection fade, he finally stood up from the windowsill and stretched the weariness out of his body.
"Good news, my love. Lucia has asked that I don't spend the whole ti cooped up in here. Do you know what that ans?"
On the bed, Aveena's ams were tied behind her back and her head was resting on a pillow.
Her large ass was propped up in the air, exposed and vulnerable by Taira's design.
"W-What..?"
"Since I can't spend all of my ti stretching out my revenge, I have to make it quick and worthwhile. Aren't you glad?"
"I-I... don't think so?"
"Aw, that hurts my feelings. I hope you'll be able to properly soothe ."
"W-W-Wait, I'm sorry for making jokes earlier! Let's just talk about this and I'll-"
"Too late, my love..!"
"NOOOOOOO!"
