Chapter 109 – Picking up the Kids


    The Princess wasted no time shepherding us out of the temple and into the carriages. Truly a shit wedding. I could''ve been my Mommy, Yuki, Mai, Kelly, Akhae, and Ie down in a dress and walk to me. Instead, I get forced to marry some .... woman I don''t know.


    That lying bitch of a Mistress.


    She promised I wouldn''t go anywhere. I would stay in the brothel. One more pregnancy, and I was free. Am I free at the end of this year? I can go for a divorce then, right? I didn''t really agree to this marriage. I can just walk out then. But does that then happen? Fuck I need to get my hands on that bitch. Make her my little breeding whore, or just kill her and be done with it.


    The red light district will need to find new owners if this cor ever falls off. I''ll find Yuki and have her help me. Burn the shithole down, and see how red it is when mes take over the buildings. Dragons can breathe fire if they get strong enough.


    I think. Some stories said so. Mommy used to tell them to me.


    There we go. I just need levels. Healing and sex. Just make it so the maids never walk straight again.


    Why not start now?


    "Strip," I say to no one in particr. Hardly a whisper.


    "We don''t have to follow sexualmands. Mother just likes to follow the rules too much. I''m not having my first time in a carriage," the daughter says.


    "Sorry, but I agree with her, my Lady," the dryad follows up.


    They even sat on the opposite side of me this time. The older woman went with the Princess for some reason. What a great headmaid if she just leaves me with these two maids who seem to hate me. Annoris could''ve offered me other heels. I didn''t know she was just setting them out to put away.


    What did I do to them? I got sold, and I clearly don''t want to be here. It seems to be their fault, not mine, that they are here with me.


    With the rejection, I went to my side and fell asleep, hoping to wake up in my Mommy''s arms.


    *** Princess Elora ***


    "Aurora, what do you need?" I ask. I''m not sure why she followed me into my carriage. Alzi is ady now; her maid leaving her alone in a carriage isn''t proper, and she should know that very well.


    "You did not tell me she did not know about the sale. She clearly does not want to be here. She was prepared to have sex with me in the carriage to embarrass me. Got so far to even have Sh finger me," she says. "I have a lot to teach her, yet she wants nothing to do with me. Sh seems to be having second thoughts about serving a former brothel worker. Annoris seems to not care either way. I am not going to be able to teach her much like this."


    "I need her more than she needs me. The cor will calm her down over the next few days," I say back. "Just join her in bed for a few nights, and she''ll get over you. If your daughter can''t be nice, let me know, and I''ll find her a new position. Annoris will calm down once she''s back home. Dryads don''t always do well away from their home."


    "Alzi..." Aurora starts to say.


    "Use my Lady; start treating her with the right respect. Your daughter will pick up on you not treating her right. I don''t think it''s a good idea for her to serve someone else, so don''t push her away. I don''t want to see her in pain, and you don''t either."


    "Yes. my Lady, thought she had an agreement with the Mistress of the brothel to not be sold. The cor will smooth things over, but it does not make hate impossible. She has full reason to hate you and this family she was just forced to join. What happens when that cor falls off?" Aurora says. "She goes to the temple, and all of a sudden, you have to go before the Goddess of Love and convince the Goddess and Alzi to keep the marriage. What do you give up for that?"


    "I''ll handle that then. I have about a year for that. By then, Alzi will be used to having maids. See how nice my wives are. She''lle around. Just teach her the basics. Reading and writing can take time. Etiquette and mana. She''ll love to learn how to better use her mana and see how we are helping her get a better ss next. Put the focus there. I have a party soon she''ll need to attend. Just get it so she won''t embarrass herself, and we''ll be good. She doesn''t need to dance. Just eat, talk, and behave herself."


    "I do not share your optimism, your Highness. All she has to do is remember that failed promise, and she will hate you and everything you have done today. She was meant to marry her Mother, who is pregnant with her child. Also Yuki. She was the reason Yuki did not marry you."


    "I know. I figured that out a bit ago," I say. "Look, settle your daughter down fast. Tell her to spend a night in her bed and have the time of her life. There is a reason she had the top room in the brothel. Even my Mother spent a night with her. One night and your daughter will be ok serving her. Annoris will be the same. Once the three of you are working together, everything will be fine. Slowly get her used to her new wives. Have Isda join her first. The angel will calm her down and help her get used to her life with me. Now I want to rx. My newest wife wille to love it here. Just give it some time."


    "Yes, your Highness," she says with a small bow. Finally, I get some quiet, but with someone else''s maid here, I can''t have my fun. Eh, she''s really my maid. Alzi is my ve and my wife. Perfect what I need her for. Normally, the man has full use of everyone''s bed while they are fertile. Giving Alzi that freedom will end with my entire house pregnant when we need to be working.


    Deciding not to care about Aurora, I sit back into Sedriresa''s soft breast for the long ride home.


    *** Fluvis, picking up her kids ***


    I don''t know how to handle all these kids, and we have four more on the way. All the maids, my wives, and I arectating now. It''s a rather simple spell to make women produce milk for a few months—just long enough to feed a newborn. It will be painful for me after I give birth, but I want to feed my own kids now so I''ll live.


    Alzi really didn''t let anyone in until after the birth, so we had to take them all at once, needing three carriages for the kids. All the kids have some dragon characteristics: horns, wings, or a tail. One girl even has all three. I don''t know what else is special about Alzi, but the Mother doesn''t normally have this much of a say in the racial characteristics when she is weaker than the father.


    Maybe it''s because we used her mana to create the sperm? They are all cute and are clearly elementals with dragon features.


    Another wonderful thing is the spread of elements. Some are water like me, but many are fire, a few earth, and even a lightning elemental to make one wife happy. Half are fire, three are water, two are earth, and one is lightning.


    A wee surprise, one that makes me question if I''m carrying only water or maybe a mix as well. Or do I have a dragon in my womb? That would be fun. I don''t have high hopes for that; the Queen''s daughter is an elf despite all the dragon features. But the Queen is stronger than me and Alzi would be stronger when we did the breeding.


    We put the babies to sleep for the travel. Some kids do well in carriages, even falling asleep to the gentle rocking of the enchanted carriages; others just scream. With four kids in each, we didn''t feel like taking our chances.


    I''m holding a little water elemental with beautiful blue horns. All three water elementals are with me, really. The other two are in my maid''s hands, along with a fire elemental. Lottie, my human wife, and lightning mage, has the lightning elemental with her in her carriage with a few fire.


    The hardest part now will be names—twelve names at once—eleven, I guess. Lottie is set on Ohm for ''her'' kid, and I''m not keen to reject a decent name with so many more needed. We''ve got a month toe up with them before I need to bring them to be registered. The Queendom likes to keep track of noble children, and we can test how many are going to get an affinity.


    Being elementals basically guarantees that they all have at least a weak affinity with their element, but all parents like to remove any doubt.


    "My Lady," Petunia says, "should we tell your mother about the kids?"


    "Yes. I don''t need to antagonize my Mother. I''ve got enough kids I''ll take her help. She won''t care to try and control them. Maybe they''ll soften her up and rethink our little deal," I say.


    "They''re really cute," another maid says. All of us are just staring at the little bundle we hold in our arms—the first kids for my new house after so many decades. Lottie was getting a bit worried, constantly working to earn sses so she couldst until we had kids. I''ll have to offer her time with Alzi or really any man. I''m sure she''ll want her own kids now that I''ve gotten mine.


    It was a little mean of me to wait so long, but Mother made me fear failing to conceive so much that I had to get a near guarantee to work up the courage to do it.


    "Yes, Alzi and I did a good job. They do make me wonder how the girls I''m carrying will look like."


    "I''m worried about that. I''ve heard dragons can be an extra handful when they''re young," Petunia lets out.


    "People say that about all kids. My Mother always said it was elementals that were the hardest. Some can use their element as soon as their first birthday," I say. "That is rare. The earliest most kids can be in their teens. But with twelve here and a possible four more. The odds are good for us to get one that starts early."


    "Sounds like fun," Petunia says, sending a small shiver down my spine.


    Kids with magic is not a fun time unless you like cleaning up messes or ying pranks on their poor Mother. And Petunia most definitely doesn''t like cleaning up messes.
