Chapter 122 – The Queen Talks about Her Daughter’s Husband

*** Aurora ***

I do not know how hot Shimmer wishes to make that bath that it is dangerous for me. I am not as silly as Lady Isda as to just let the heat in. I guess she may just want to have my Lady alone for a bit, but the Princess will be mad about that. Leaving anyone alone with my Lady is just asking for a pregnancy to happen.

Being naked in a bath and cleaning her. I should suggest to Lady Isda to increase the size of the nursery.

I give Princess Elora's study a knock, ready to report about my pregnancy. I should ask my Lady to let me know the count again. I think she likes me more now.

"Come in."

I open the door and step into the study. The Princess is sitting at her dark oak table, and Sedriresa is standing in the corner with a watchful eye.

I give her a short bow. "Your Highness, Shimmer is bathing with my Lady, so I thought I would report to you about your mission for me."

I stop just a foot from her large desk filled with paper.

"Please, do you really have something to report this fast? Yesterday you seemed to think it was hopeless," she says back, placing a report she was reviewing down.

"Yes, it seems her sexual desires are out of her control. Just a little looser in the collar was enough to get her to want me. I am pregnant. She did not give me a count, but she did hint that it was more than Isda. I will work on seeing what I can learn, but I think it may have something to do with fire affinities, or someone besides the Queen would have found out by now. Fire affinity should limit the count enough that only the Queen knows about it. If you still wish for Shimmer to wait on kids, I can try getting Calli into her bed; she is weak but has a fire affinity. I can work with her some to figure it out together," I say.

"Yes, that would be good. Make it so. Anything else?" the Princess asks.

"Why is my Lady not bedbound? I know the collars make them more agreeable to their owners, but she was basically out of it in the brothel and now just walking around putting up a token resistance to us."

"She has had that collar on for almost a decade. It knows how to smooth over her emotions well. Alzi has been through worse and gets right back up. Not getting to marry the people she wants isn't going to phase her much. As long as she doesn't have anything traumatic happen, she should be fine. Even then, it will just be a week till she is back on her feet," the Princess says. "I'm not happy that you left her in Shimmer's care. My wives aren't happy about the kid situation. I have the most fertile seed in the world and they aren't bound by my word like Alzi is."

"Shimmer did not give me much of a choice unless I am to order Alzi out of the bath. I would advise against that; she has shown me some anger that it would be best not to push if you want to be able to take the collar off her. So you will need to enforce the rules of the house or have Isda do it."

"Shimmer better not get pregnant from this bath."

"I do not think my Lady wishes to get her pregnant. So it will be up to Shimmer to seduce her."

"So if Shimmer wants to get pregnant, she will."

"Yes, your Highness."

"Leave."

"Yes, your Highness," I say back with a bow. After leaving the room, I head over to the changing room to wait for my Lady, hoping Shimmer decides to wait on kids. I do not need the Princess blocking me from being a concubine over this.

*** Queen, Morning after sale ***

"Lotus, what are you doing here in the morning?" I ask my green wife, who dares invade my private study. She was sitting there in the corner waiting for me in her proper red dress. A far cry from the outfit she last came to me in.

"Don't give me that look. You've been avoiding our husband for too long now," Lotus says with a sharp look. "Stop it. Face him. I've already told him it was my fault. I didn't think that girl could pull off the miracle twice, let alone on both of us. I know you can hide yours for a while, but mine is going to start showing and I have no plans on leaving the details out."

"That wouldn't happen," I say. Why did my predecessors think destroying sacred text was a good idea?

"It may when the girl is special."

"How is she special? Futa are rare but hardly special," I say.

"Royalty. Elves and humans may not have a special group of royals, but others do—namely dragons," Irdru says, annoying me by not just spilling it all.

"Hurry up."

"Yes, Alzi may be a royal dragon."

"Impossible. They keep a tighter leash on the men than even we do."

"Your Highness, please forgive me for this, but you are currently carrying a bastard, and a Princess aiming for the throne is most definitely not related to the king. A tighter leash leaves more than enough leeway for one child when we have a village of dragons less than a day away," the dark elf says with worry filling her face. I stay silent, making sure she keeps talking for fear of my words. "We hosted the royal dragons, man included, at the right time for Alzi to be his offspring. No man in the village is related to her. As you said, a tighter leash on a dragon leads to them lashing out even more."

"So Elora may have a claim to their throne?"

"No, Your Highness."

"Shit, you're right. Alzi has a claim. Fuck, was I right to sabotage Elora? Make her give up and throw Alzi into their succesion fight? Having Elora..."

"Your Highness, Elora would likely be thrown out of the harem entirely for daring to own a royal dragon. That would be the best case, really. No, the best case is Elora gets the throne then Alzi is brought out for the dragons to find. Just let Elora know that if she wants the throne, Alzi has to lose the collar if we can confirm Alzi is a royal dragon."

"I just promised to make it a fair fight. I can't switch and hand it to Elora now."

"Elora can win it fairly; you have a reason to leave it to a fight between harems. Do it. Give Elora a bit of time to build up her stance. Then, say your pregnancy will make it so you can't rule due to the stress and age. It'll be up to chance, but you'll still be so much stronger than Lyrei that you'll be able to keep Elora and her family safe, and she'll see that keeping Alzi is good. Maybe fold Elora's family into the royal family, and everything will be as we need it."

"Hmm, fine. I don't want you to lie to me again."

"What do you mean?"

"You planned for this to happen. You knew about the marriage and made sure I didn't do anything stupid to ruin it."

"I had the theory, but I didn't really think Elora would marry a brothel whore. I was working on finding which Goddess is her patron and how to fold her into the royal family," Irdru says, going into a deep bow. "I wouldn't keep something like that from you. I promise, your Highness. I live to serve."

"Fine. Keep an eye on them. I want to know more about Alzi and what I need to keep her under our royal control."

"She got her mother pregnant."

"One of those kids. Elora won't let me force a commoner without an affinity into her marriage, so just keep track of her. We can't have anything happen to those kids or the mother. A simple push at the right moment and we can keep Alzi trapped."

"I'll send out a watcher immediately."

"Good. Now let us get to the other items you have."
