Chapter 49 – Getting Closer to a few Members


    The dinner finished pleasantly despite the strange beginning the Queen forced. I did my best to ignore the empty seat at the head of the table and just enjoyed the conversation with the rest of the table. I couldn''t talk much with my harem; too many noble families separated us. But that is fine, they''ll all be my partners during the dancing. Instead I got to know my supports better. Quinte and Fluvis weren''t the only ones weing new member to their families. A baroness actually had each of her three wives and herself pregnant at the same time. We focused on the happy side of life for the dinner. In theing months we''ll work on the problems theirnds face.


    There are no special rules for the end of a meal. When you''re full and ready for a new activity, you just stand up and walk away. The other tables were the first to clear out. Servers quickly cleaned the tables and moved them out of the ballroom. Slowly, the main table started to empty out until I was done. Everyone left soon after me, letting thest table be brought out, leaving plenty of room for the dancing.


    The band had started warming up during the dinner, so once thest table was cleared, we were ready to begin the fun. I didn''t need to announce anything; everyone here is old enough to know how dancing at these parties works. The band starts up the intro song, and I search for my first partner. I decided to start with Aurora; she gave up the most to join me. I should show her my appreciation.


    I find her hugging her daughter, a nervous look on her face. Did something happen during dinner?


    "Hello, Aurora. Is everything ok? You look worried," I ask, catching the older woman off guard.


    "Oh, yes. I just know I''m going to be dancing with young girls. I''m not as agile as I once was. Even one pregnancy will wear on your body."


    "Haha, don''t worry. We''re here to have fun and get closer. Come, no one will dare think bad about you when you dance with me," I say, grabbing the worried woman. With myrge heels, she just makes it to my tits. She only has an inch or so heel. I''ll need to get her confidence up before Alzi joins. She''ll never recover when she sees Alzi dancing in eight or nine-inch heels.


    "I''m honored, Princess," her voice wavering as she follows me to the hardwood portion of the floor. Most of the women have found partners, but the few men are still being fought over as the band starts to wind down to y the first dance song.


    Ballroom dancing has a few different variations: slow and deliberate to allow conversation between partners, quicker pace for just having fun, and,st, showing off. We will only have the first two today; there is no need to stirpetition between my supporters this early. Mainly, it will be the slow and deliberate pace that allows me to talk to the new family members, with the other spliced in to keep up the mood.


    Aurora calms down when the band starts the dance. I guess she was worried about the fast variations. Slower songs are easier to dance to; the focus is more on the conversation than the dance. I offer her my hand and lead her out when she takes it. Her skin is soft and well cared for. I''m guessing her main job was to raise the kids. On the floor, we turn to each other and begin our slow rock with a few steps every couple of bars of music.


    I bring the woman close enough to smell her shampoo. It smells like jasmine with a hint of roses. Her head fits between my chin and breast. My breast actually rests a little on its own, like a little shelf. Alzi is a lucky girl, especially if her daughter grows like her mother.


    "Aurora, why did you give up your position?"


    "I believe I answered that before You Highness. It has pained me not to have this aura be used. Physical and mental pain. When the opportunity came, I had no choice for me or my daughter."


    "Oh, I didn''t realize it was hurting you so much. I''ll try to get you some time with her before shees here. We still have a few months before I can pick her up."


    "There is no need, your Highness. I already feel the pain subsiding. The Goddess must see that I''m about to use her gift correctly now. I''ll wait and meet her with the rest of the family."


    "As you wish. Let me know if the paines back or continues. There is no need for you to fight through it. I''m d I can provide a way for you and your daughter to livefortably."


    "Thank you."


    "We never got to your affinity."


    "Yes, my affinity mattered less than my aura, I felt. My affinity is growth. Without a breeder, I''m not able to increase the growth of levels, but I''m great in a garden and watch over the kids. All my old family kids had an affinity, and most are on track to ovee the parent''s sses soon. Unfortunately, only my daughter hasn''t married, so they couldn''t offer any to serve beside her. But I think she and I are enough from our family."


    "Most certainly. You two will be some of my most treasured servants for Alzi."


    "Thank you," she mumbles, resting her head on my shoulder. We finish the dance in silence, enjoying each other''s presence.


    We get a little break after the song to find our next partner. I choose the pregnant angel Isda. She spent time with Alzi in a very different manner, and I want to know more about that night. I wrap the little girl in a tight hug and drag her into the middle of the dance floor. She was docile. Someone must have hinted I was behind her for her to let a random woman drag her onto the dance floor.


    "So, Alzi got you pregnant?" I whisper into her ear. "Tell me about it, I only sent girls to get a massage from her. How was spending a night with my future seed."


    "Your Highness, you need to be careful with pregnant women. Surprises aren''t good for the kids," she dares to tease back as we unravel so we can dance correctly. "But I think my night with her was a very different experience to most. I let her dominate me. In fact, I gave her no restrictions; well, besides, she needed to get me pregnant, fuck me all night, and use her actives."


    "Strange asking a brothel girl to break you in like that. I''m surprised you made it back in one piece. My sources say she''srge between the legs."


    "Yes, her aura and touch work well to overwhelm any pain you feel when she ravages you. Honestly I would rmend giving it a try. It was an extreme experience, but one I can''t wait to go through again. I thought I would never get the chance to be so thoroughly used again."


    "You''re a strange girl. Asking for a ve toe and treat you like her little bitch. Sure, you have the height to y the part, but you have plenty of strength and power. The few nobles I hear about only submit to their wives, and even then, they aren''t willing to go so far."


    "I think that is only because they don''t dare tell anyone outside the family about it. If I wasn''t marrying you, Princess, I wouldn''t let you know how far I let her go. In the bedroom, if Alzi gives me amand, I''ll follow it or expect her to punish me for disobedience. I wouldn''t have it any other way. She''s kind, caring, and the only woman I would trust to have that much control over me. Even when her cor falls off, I''ll be hers tomand sexually."


    "You''re doing a surprisingly good job convincing me to give this a shot. It''ll have to be several years in the future but maybe just maybe I''ll let her have that control."


    "Don''t worry. You''re the head of the family, the future Queen. What you say goes outside the bedroom. She did give me a massage. I rmend getting it as soon as you can. It did wonders for me. For a warrior, it must be life-changing."


    "Elizabethe agrees with that belief. I''m d to hear it confirmed."


    We moved on to less sexually charged topics. Mainly her time growing up. She spent most of it learning to be a head maid for some family. A great pickup for managing my household. Alzi seems to be gathering a lot of powerful women around her, even if many just spend a single night with her. Countess''s family, Dutchess, this angel, and I''ve heard the Chavarelli family owe her for an incident in the brothel. I hope I can use that to bring them over to my camp. I know they aren''t happy with my eldest sister right now. Hopefully, a little nudge can push them behind me.


    Next is the first fast song. I choose my old friend from my travels. The other sword fighter, the wind mage, couldn''t make it tonight due to an emergency happening in her family''snds. She had on a slight smile that only those who have known her for years would know is her smiling. It took some convincing for her to marry me with Alzi. Alzi broke through that hard shell of hers and even got her horny enough to fuck. Elizabethe Barton wasn''t a happy girl learning. She was tricked into it. But she likes me a little too much to let Alzi keep her from me. It''ll be fun when I throw Alzi into her bed. She hates to talk and dance, feeling it takes away from the art, so she is an easy choice for this song.


    We go twirling about on the dance floor. Two muscr warriors spinning with little care. It does wonders in helping me forget about my Mothers stupid little fucking interruption. This night wasn''t perfect, but it has been pretty fucking good.
