Chapter 129: Proper Warning
The next day, I woke up feeling great, just the beat of life in my chest and an itching to take on the world! I kissed my beautiful orange-haired wife and looked down into her golden eyes, after pulling back. I didn''t want to leave the bed or her, but I had a lot of things to do today; promise to fulfill, ves to save, and a King to reinstate.
"I had an amazing night, my love, but I need to get going. Asses won''t kick themselves!"
Mishka giggled and squirmed in my arms as I showered her with kisses, before getting up and out of bed. I threaded my jeans and t-shirt on as I stood, grabbing my shades from the nightstand before walking out of my room and heading into the hall. When I made it to the bottom of the stairs, my little Pooh Bear was waiting for me.
"Don''t you look beautiful! Too bad."
I kissed Arrentia and then we rubbed noses, but as we parted I changed her gorgeous soft pink and white dress into muted graymon clothes. Arrentia was about toin, but I put a hand to her lips and smiled.
"We are going to buy all the ves in Acosta, I asked Kadnece, Nuwari, and Tescelle to get me plenty of tradable items to do this. Once the ves, Human and Beastfolk are safe, then you will stay back here to help heal the sick and injured and I will take Kadence, Addel, and Elise with me. After that, I will be talking with the King, then we will talk of him stepping down."
"What if he doesn''t want to?"
"I''ll be convincing. Don''t worry my love, I won''t hurt the girls, but if they were raised like this, we might have to put them through Alex''s reform sses."
Arrentia gave an involuntary shiver at the mention of Alex''s reform sses, maybe I should go check one of those out. Knowing Alex, she was already back to teaching and forcing the student to watch the children or they would be with one of their many aunts. Well, if she got results and she wasn''t actually harming the women, who was I to stop a goddess?
"Alex told me that Kade left this bag here for you filled with those spinny battery things and some other valuable inventions."
Arrentia was pointing to arge bag in the corner, and after I picked it up, I could hear things jingling at the bottom, the batteries, but there was a lot of something else. It made the bag feel padded when I grabbed it, so I opened it up and looked inside. What the fuck is this?
"Babe, why is my bag full of braziers?"
"Full of what?"
"Over the shoulder boulder holders, you know these," I pulled on out with one hand. "The things I made for you girls to hold your tata''s up!"
Arrentia''s face became burning scarlet red, even to the point where her ear fur started to turn bright pink. So, she didn''t put them in here, then who did?
"You will need those for trading in Acosta," Tescelle said as she walked into the room.
She was already dressed in rough clothing, but not too shabby, looked like she was wanting to join the expedition into the city.
"I would like to ask you Arrentia if it would be alright for me to join you today. I would like to help with our husband''s n to trade for all the ves. I have already got an area cleared near the hospital and Nuwari and another human woman named Nani that can use a form of healing magic to help her. When you bring the first batch back you will just have to touch her, because she is new to the city. Kadence, Xelios, Violet, and Titania are world with Greckcain and Markeye to get houses ready for the new arrivals."
"Just wow, you all are so good. I would have never"
"We know husband, that''s why we are here. We all have to listen and wait to react to help you, so it was a nice change for you to tell someone what your ns were for the next day so we could help prepare. You can be a bit of a handful when you don''t let us in on your ns," Tescelle scolded me.
"I don''t mind if youe, I think it will be good to have you. You are good with figuring these kinds of people''s problems out when ites to organizing," Arrentia said with a smile.
"That settles it then, but before we get the ves, we have to pick up more people on the way."
Both girls followed me out with puzzled looks as I slung the bag over my shoulder. Once outside, I told the girls to close their eyes and in less than fifteen seconds, we hovered over the swamp valley. I could clearly see the massive pie-shaped chunk ofnd I had excavated from here and it looked a lot bigger from up here. I would really have to be more careful in the future; there was no one there to hurt, this time, but a mistake like that could kill tens of thousands, and oops wouldn''t fix that.
I looked at the girls who had both put their arms tightly around me and had an idea. I dropped us back down to where Taria''s hut was and my box was sitting, and with a couple of quick modifications, I made it more thanfortable for fifteen people to sit. The whole thing was starting to look like a school bus without a roof, with rows of seats and a path down the middle to walk.
"So, you dide back after all," Came the voice of Greshaha from behind me.
I didn''t turn around, but I did smile.
"Mr. Snek, did you really doubt me? Come, we have things to do!"
