Chapter 172 – Nobles Floundering

The two women standing behind me reach down, their hands exploring my chest as their breasts rest atop my head. Their hands stay somewhat honest, refusing to go under my clothing. But my dress leaves plenty of skin for them to feel.

"Your skin is so smooth," Zeldyara whispers. Her pointer finger circles my breast. "So soft and so warm."

Ardri refuses to be the not be the lewdest of the bunch. Her hand caresses my arm before intertwining our fingers. Her other hand starts to travel around my thighs.

Myrrh scoffs at the advances but does move closer, taking away the small space Seirian was eyeing.

Kiz hasn't sat down yet, so she moves to my feet. Her head rests on my thighs before her hand starts traveling up my calf and under my skirt. Her fingers sent a chill up my spine with their cold touch.

I freeze under the assault. My cock begging me to start undressing so it can have its fun. My brain tells me to stop them, but a small voice agrees with my cock. Telling me to make them beg for it.

The small voice is right. They should beg me. Beg for the honor of carrying my child. Is this really how you beg? No, the only one here who likely even understands how to beg is Ardri. The rest are too young to know their place right now. Will the rabbitkin figure it out?

"Let me hold that for you, dear," Myrrh says, taking the small plate and cup from me. "I know the heat won't hurt you, but no need to waste a great cup of tea to some horny women." I let her take it, agreeing it would be bad to waste the tea and annoying to have to change clothing. I would have to get the Princess to agree yet again, and with this display, I don't think she will. Forcing me into that stupid suit.

Kiz continues to travel up my legs and towards my privates. The girls behind me start to tease my hard nipples poking through the dress. Making me groan at the stimulation.

I guess Shyla forgot about them.

Ardri finds my cock over my dress, her hand beating the ghoul. But she at least has a few layers between her soft, warm hand and my hungry cock. Kiz may find a way to touch it directly and then it would be over for everyone here.

Yes, that is what I'll do. I'll make them beg with my skills. Teach them to worship my cock as they should.

"Alzi dear," shocks me out of my thoughts. A looming figure standing in the door way. "I hope you don't mind the intrusion. Ladies, I think you all know the rules well enough. To think you dare go under my wife's dress before you've even been served dinner. I expect better from all of you."

All of us freeze. My brain taking back control over my building lust. Remembering my goal of not giving nobles children. The nobles' hands freeze on my body before slowly moving off my body, except the one holding my hand.

That pesky hand sticks around.

"Sorry, your Highness," Ardri starts. "Your wife is just so beautiful that no one can keep their hands off her."

"I did," Myrrh says. "I am right here playing by the rules, Ardri, and you better not try to claim your heat is making you do it. We all know you are too old for that. Honestly, out of all of us, you need the miracle that is Lady Alzi the most."

"I.."

"Enough," the Princess says. I just need you all to respect my wife. She is beautiful, but until she calls someone to bed, you have to admire her beauty from afar. Ok?"

"Yes, your Highness," the group chants out to appease my owner.

"And hello, Lady Lorelei. Thank you for working with me today," the Princess says.

"Oh, no problem. I'm happy you agreed immediately and that Lady Alzi is going to give me a child. I was worried I would need to stay up here a few days to do this," the vampire says. Her red drink swirling about. "I will let Esmeralda know you are putting up no resistance to our agreement with Lady Alzi. She was a little worried you would null out our contract with a slave."

"I would never hurt an ally like that," the Princess says. "I am happy for her support, and I just ask you not to overwhelm Alzi. And that goes to all of you. Your support is needed and loved. Just be kind to my wife. Now, I'll let you all be."

The Princess leaves, and the nobles return to wondering what to do. Myrrh has figured out that she can help me drink the tea, but the rest need to do something, or Ardri and Myrrh are going to win out, I think.

Though Sharn does seem like some fun if Ardri is wrong. Of course, I don't have to make my decision based on what they do here. I could just pick randomly.

I wonder how much they talk about the tea parties. If the families all talk and try to come up with some strategy to get the men to pick them, I guess I can ask Aurora. She seems to know a little about this. Maybe she conceived Shyla at a breeding party? Sorry, tea party.

For some reason, Kiz is still sitting on the floor by my feet. She has raised her head off my lap and isn't touching me, so I hardly know the girl is there. But that is the same for the two standing behind me, so I guess she is just trying to be close.

Is there something in the room we can do?

"Well, Lady Alzi," Myrrh says, giving me another sip of my tea. "It seems the girl's seduction idea failed, and you still haven't picked a girl out yet, leaving us all a bit confused. Normally, by now, the man is talking up a woman already, and it's a fight to take over their attention."

"Why would they already pick a woman?" I ask. They all must get a few women, and all the nobles are pretty, so why would they pick so fast? Or do they all have secret crushes that they won't admit to, even the other men? I hope I don't ruin any for them.

"You'll have to ask them," Ardri says. "Even if we knew we wouldn't share with the group. That knowledge stays in the family."

"But we don't need to talk about other men here, Lady Azli," Myrrh continues. "We are here with you. So, when you are all alone, what do you like to do?"

"Umm, I don't really know. I haven't had much time alone," I say.

"What would you like to do if you got time alone then?" Myrrh says, refusing to let me go. "And don't worry about being embarrassed about it. I'll share mine first to even it out. I like to tie myself up and pose in the mirror. Had my wives take advantage of me a few times even."

I did not need to know that. Or is she just trying to see if I like bondage? I wouldn't mind putting a high elf in her place. If I finish my business with Lorelei first, I can take my time and really get the blonde elf to beg. Break her a bit even. Take her like I did to Isda.

"Oh, I got the dragon thinking," Myrrh says, returning me to the room. "But what about your free time, Lady Alzi?"

"In the brothel, I started making small wood carvings," I say. It is the only hobby I have anymore, not that I can do it often.

"You were scared to share that? What do you carve? Naked women?" Myrrh asks, letting me have more of the tea. Why does she still have the cup?

"Yes."

"Oh, then this is perfect," Myrrh says. "I have a block of wood right here. Sharn is basically naked, and I would be willing to strip if needed. You can do a little carving for us."

"Now wait a minute, elf," Ardri says. "You aren't going to get Alzi staring at you naked while we all watch the chance for a child slip through our fingers."

"You sing right, Ardri?" Kiz asks, still sitting by my feet. "I can play for you."

"I can but a ghoul playing music?" Ardri says. "That would be a first for me."

"I can play just fine," Kiz says.

"I'm sure you can, Lady Kiz, but it's just weird to think about," Ardri says. "An emotional thing like music being played by someone who struggles to show emotions."

"Can you sing..."

"What are you two going on about?" Seirian says. "Lady Alzi needs to first say if she even wishes to do this before you start coming up with a setlist. Besides, if Lady Alzi hasn't decided on someone yet, I'm not letting the slutty elf take her entire focus while you two play music for her victory."

"I am hardly a slut, just confident in my body, and I did offer Sharn a chance to be the model," Myrrh defends. "But you are right that Lady Alzi needs to decide."

"Um, I normally do the body by feel, not sight, so this wouldn't really work," I say. "I could make one for whoever I choose, but only after I had sex with them."

"Oh, so that was how you did it," Zeldyara says. "You were friends with that black cat in the brothel, right? I think she sold some figures here and there. Those were made by you, right?"

"Yes, Mai was her name," I say.

"Yes, I slept with her once," Zeldyara says. "I almost bought one of those figures. She was a real cutie and that tail was so soft. How did you cut them? I doubt the Mistress let her slave use a knife, and we all know she didn't let you learn how to properly use your mana."

"I just kept messing around until I figured out how to shape the wood," I say. "I didn't have anything else to do while I waited, so I just messed with the counter."

"You were able to learn how to shape wood that easily?" Vicia says.

"It took a year to learn, so not really," I say back. I really need to grab this cup from Myrrh. She is barely letting me take a sip of the tea when she brings the cup to my lips. Plus, all the girls are looking at the cup now, and I don't need them all deciding to feed me different teas all night. I'll have to go to the bathroom instead of fucking my partner!

I don't know if what I said was a good defense, as they all seem to be lost in thought a little bit. The two extra maids go around and refill all the wine glasses and even hand me one. Ardri takes it off my hands, floating her own glass with some mana so she can mimic Myrrh.

"My Lady, dinner is ready to be served. Shall we move to the table?" Aurora calls out, saving me from drinking too much wine.

"Yes, please," I manage to say in my rush to stand up.

"This way, everyone," Aurora says. It's not that anyone needs directions. The table is clearly in the back, and everyone saw it on the way in.

Time to see if they can figure out how to handle the dinner.
