Chapter 108 – A Terrible Marriage
*** Alzi ***
The two girls direct me into the carriage and onto a soft bench. They sit on either side of me and poke and prod about with my clothing. I don't know what their goal is. The robe is meant to catch women's eyes, and it does it well with my well-endowed chest. Hardly a thing to wear on a carriage ride unless they plan to make me dance for them.
A few minutes later, the older woman steps in and sits down opposite of me, her feet coming into my vision as I hear her sigh. The door slams shut, and the carriage starts moving.
"Alzi?" the Older woman says.
"..."
"I'm sorry. I didn't know all the details about this sale. But it happened. I know you are very familiar with the fact things do not turn out how you expected or wanted them to go. I surely did not think I would end up as a maid when I got an affinity all those years ago. I was not a maid to start, even had a kid. The woman to your right, actually. Now this is nothing like your situation I know. I did choose to become a maid with my daughter, but I have a strange aura. One that causes me pain if I'm not with a woman with a breeder class like yours. I thought I could handle it, but every year it got worse till I could not take it anymore, and I took this position," she says, taking a slight pause. Hoping for a reaction, maybe? "We are your maids, Alzi. You are going to be the wife of the Princess. Princess Elora, a challenger for the throne. You are an important woman in her harem. I know this is not your plan, but I think it is a good deviation. I think you will come to like her wives, even if you struggle to like her. I can say the maids are excited for your arrival."
"I'm a slave," I whisper to the floor.
"Yes, that will stick till the Princess takes off your collar. But you will still be a Lady once the marriage is complete," the maid insists.
The other two women, maids I guess, have stopped their insistent poking finally. Just letting the older maid talk and talk about how buying me was a good thing I should deal with.
"I'm to marry my mom and Yuki. Not a Princess," I spit out.
"Yuki is a Princess. Princess of the Kitsune. I am sorry about that, but Yuki had a chance to marry you. To take you, but for her own reasons did not. Now we are here, with you marrying a different Princess. I promise Elora will be kind to you. She has no desire to see you miserable. All I ask is a chance. Give her a chance. I am instructed to teach you a lot. Mana, skills, reading, writing, etiquette, and if there is anything else you wish to learn, I can try to help or find someone who can. We are hoping to find a healer to teach you there as well. We all want your next class to be a healing-focused one. I believe you want that as well. If you do not, just tell us and we can help you get a different class option."
"I have a healer that could've taught me," I whisper to the floor.
"Oh, who?" the maid asks.
"Kelly."
"I am not familiar with her," the maid says in her soft, annoying voice. "Do you know her last name? I can try to find her and see if we can bring her in to teach you."
"No, she worked at the brothel."
"Ok, I will have us start our search there," she says, "What makeup do you normally put on?"
"I don't."
"Yes, your face is pretty without it. Lips are beautiful. Can you look up for me?" she asks.
"..."
"Please. I want you to look your best at the wedding. It will be small, but you should look your best. We are already missing the dress; there is no need to miss the makeup as well."
"I'm not marrying anyone."
"Alzi, your collar can be used to force that matter, I am afraid. The Goddess does not love when it happens, but she does not stop them."
"Sorry, Alzi. But you must remain dressed until the wedding. We won't have time to get you dressed again," she says, her mana holding my hands still. The mother fights back the moans from the two hands playing with her.
"I have plenty of robes like this, and they take a second to put on," I say back, still looking for a way to fuck this woman in front of her snobby daughter.
"No, we have made a number of changes to make it better. Please, for now just enjoy the show. You may be able to join it on the way to the manor or, worse case, tonight. For the first few months at least you are only to have maids in your bed," she whispers into my ear, giving it a soft kiss.
"Get dressed then, and get off me," I say. I'm not teasing myself.
"Yes, Alzi," the dryad says, her hand retreating from my chin. The daughter quickly picks up her mother's clothing and starts helping her get dressed. Aurora won't look me in the eyes, just a little flushed in the cheeks.
Once Aurora is dressed, the mother-daughter pair sit back down, back to being squished between the two maids, with Aurora sitting opposite me.
"We should be there soon. It will be simple—the bare minimum needed for the Goddess to find you married to the Princess. Please make this easy and just say yes when asked," my headmaid says. I don't feel it as a command. I don't know why she likes to say 'please' so much; it would be easier for her to just tell me to do things. She's proven that she can give me binding commands during my kidnapping.
Be happy, Alzi; maybe she'll slip up on something that should've been a command.
We come to a stop with a small shake. The door opens quickly afterward, and the three maids force me out. It looks like they brought me to the edge of the city or something. Behind the grand temple is a wall. I'm not sure why they waste so much space on the temple; it is quite the space for it inside a city. But I guess that is royalty.
"This way, Alzi," the head maid says, leading me to a woman in a red dress.
"Why is she in that robe?" the woman demands.
"It is all she has. The brothel didn't give her any better clothing due to her pregnancy. The clothing never fit her right, your Highness," she says. All three of the maids bow. I just stand there. The Princess is pretty. A warrior based on the muscles. She was Tallish and had plenty of boob in her tight dress.
"The heels?" the woman asks.
"Annoris placed them down, and she slipped them on," she says, still bowed in half.
"What did they teach this woman. Fine, we don't have much time to get back home."
She turns around, and my maids stand up and push me forward into the towering temple. My heels click against the stone walkway and then against the marble flooring inside. A priestess gives our group a small nod before leading us through the reception area and into the main chamber.
We stop before the altar, and my maids once again push me forward a bit to stand next to the royal b.... Owner.
The priestess looks between us, a small frown when she looks at my collar.
"Do you all love one another and promise to work together in your marriage?" she asks.
"Yes," the Princess says.
I keep my lips sealed, waiting for the collar to force me.
"Alzi, you need to say yes," the maid whispers to me. The priestess frowns at the words but just keeps looking at me. My collar finally starts to act, forcing the words from my lips.
"Yes," I spit out. I pull up the window of the Goddesses and see eight names under the new tab.
Mommy, I need you.
