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 Ikla come 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 collar ever falls off. I'll find Yuki and have her help me. Burn the shithole down, and see how red it is when flames 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 particular. Hardly a whisper.
"We don't have to follow sexual commands. 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 ***
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 welcome 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 to come 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 classes so she could last 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 playing pranks on their poor Mother. And Petunia most definitely doesn't like cleaning up messes.
