Chapter 202 – Checking on the Prisoners

While Lottie is catching her breath, I'm more than ready to keep going. If the human won't keep working, I'll have to do the work. Besides, this bed isn't that comfortable for me to lie down on my back in.

Flipping us over, I aim for her slit again, just for a hand to grab my penis.

"Alzi, we need to talk about a more serious thing now," Lottie says. "I just wanted to see if you were as beaten as you seemed. I'm happy to be proven very wrong in that regard."

"You..."

"I did say that, and now you need to do something you wish everyone would do with you: Stop when your partner wishes to stop," Lottie says. "Ok. I'm happy to hold you like this if you like. But could you stay outside for a bit?"

Her hand is firm, gripping my shaft. It's not pinching or anything. An adequate grip to get off with if I wanted.

"What could we possibly have to talk about?" I ask. "You came in here, naked in my bed, woke me up, and then choked me."

"Yes, and I got what I deserved for that. My ass is going to be sore till we reach port," Lottie says. "But I shouldn't have done it, yes. My wife is a champion of the Sea now. You saw her new highlight, right? Well, you may not have seen Fluvis before, but it is new."

"Why does that matter?" I ask. Why did she need to get fucked before talking about her wife? She could at least work her fingers a bit.

"Looked in the mirror lately?" Lottie asks, chuckling. "You think your hair or light is natural?"

"Been there since birth," I say, moving my hips a bit. This bitch deserves to be covered in my cum for daring to jump into my bed naked. "Mother always told me I was a rainbow light. My own night light to scare away the ghosts. Champions aren't born."

"What if it was fertility? Couldn't she get you in the womb?" Lottie offers. "No breeder can do what you do. I could never ask for only one kid. I couldn't have that certain knowledge you would get me pregnant with however many kids you wish to give me. I would just know that if it was my time of the month, my egg would get fertilized and be more likely to get implanted. Yet you assure me I will be pregnant with however many you wish. From zero to a hundred? A thousand? Why do you think that is? Doing something never done before?"

"The Goddesses hate me," I say. "The second I got my affinity, everything went to shit. My mother was poisoned by her own sister, forcing me into slavery. The Princess ripping me away from the life I almost had; I would've had everything I wanted. Champion, my ass."

I want to push into her. Give her a taste of my shit life. Nobles raping me as they please. Taking my kids. Toying with me every day. Forcing me to serve them as I grow their kids.

Good thing I put a ring of bruises around her shit neck.

"Fertility is an absent Goddess at best. Yet all of a sudden, she has started talking to people with you around. You are the Champion of Fertility, Alzi," Lottie says, her fingers finally earning her stay in my bed. "Princess Elora should know this now. Fluvis should've told her by now if she didn't know already."

"And?"

"Princess Elora does love you in her own way. I know you don't agree. But she does, no matter how bad that stupid warrior is at showing it," Lottie dares to say. Could I kill her? Would my collar stop me? Does she have more mana than me? She was in the fight, I would imagine. "There are the eyes of a dragon. No, you would not beat me in a fight. Don't try; you fucked my ass because I was ok with you taking my ass. I'm not here to tell you to fall in love with the Princess. I'm just hoping you will understand her a bit. Her life has been better than yours; no other way to put it. But she did lose a lot that her sisters didn't. She had no childhood and was dumped at the end of her training with no direction or purpose. Someone who has worked for decades to get to where she is at. I think you should stick with her, but either way, you need to get that same fire. That same push to move forward despite all the failed plans and all the setbacks."

"Fuck you."

"I understand you hate her, and I'm not saying you should stay because you will come to love her. But she isn't wrong when she says you'll have this kind of thing follow you, and you should be careful when trusting the kitsune. They are known to grab men off the streets to be breeding studs, and you are the best stud a harem could have," Lottie says. "You hate the Princess. I get why, and I'm not saying otherwise. I'm saying you are safer with the Princess cause with you, she gets the throne and all the safety that comes with that. Who goes to war with a Queendom that has two champions? None. Not even the dragons would risk that. Harems aren't full of love; they just have pockets of love."

"I don't trust her for a second. Here I am, yet again assaulted by some noble thinking I'm free to have sex with. To seduce and anger into giving you a child," I say.

"You are on my ship."

"Your wife's ship."

"Same thing, and you enjoyed it. You liked watching me cry and thank you for it. You liked the power. I showed you that you're still a dragon. The collar has taken some years from you, but not the core of you," Lottie says. "Fluvis wants to get her maid pregnant. An old woman with hardly any mana."

"Don't care."

"How about a deal? I'll be your teddy bear that you can put that dick into, and if my wife asks, you'll agree to get her maid pregnant?" Lottie offers, her stupid hand teasing my balls. "I'll even get Fluvis to join you and the Princess in bed. Four women to warm the mighty dragon's bed."

"She has to ask nicely," I say. I would do it anyway. That stupid belly getting to me. My kids calling out.

"It would be wrong to do it any other way. Fluvis tried to buy your freedom the second after breeding with you," Lottie says, her hand dropping away. "But the Princess was in the process of buying you already."

"Shut up and get on your side. I'm still tired."

"Yes, you pretty dragon."

"I'm still burying my dick up your ass," I say. "Or I'm going to tell the Princess you tried to kill me."

"Fine."

*** Princess Elora ***

"Mother Nesh is almost here," I say, watching that bitch Esiyae settle in, knowing her greed is going to kill her. Talindra just smiles at her wife's demise, but Mother Nesh won't let me get true revenge.

At least not yet. If a war is decided, I'll make sure to grab her afterward. If they go for a ransom, we'll get a few months to play with her growing body.

"Alright, we can head up," Fluvis says. "You two are in the middle of a fleet. Do anything stupid, and I'll let Princess Elora get her revenge."

"We will be good little girls," Talindra says. "Don't worry. But Elora, if you wish for me to help teach Esiyae a lesson..."

"Do with her as you please," I say. "I want her pussy displayed for everyone. I want the top deck to hear her moan as you fuck her."

Fluvis ignores my comment, instead asking for help getting up to the top deck, needing it even more than when she was heading down. Her belly is trying to tell her how stupid she was to head out here, but I have to love her for doing it. Mother Nesh may not have gotten to us in time.

On the deck, I can see the fleet Mother sent after Alzi and me. Twenty ships are maneuvering to absorb Fluvis's three into the middle of their formation.

"Get ready to welcome the Royal Consort!" Fluvis huffs out, her first mate spreading it around. Not that her experienced crew needs the command. "Pregnancy is not the time to get active, it seems."

"I'll have to find out how much is possible," I say. "I won't have time to be out of shape."

"Just remember your duty is to the kid first," Fluvis says, moving over to the port side where Mother Nesh's ship is waiting. Some flag sails up, and Nesh jumps aboard from the sea, taking the chance to move about in her natural form.

The strangely human-looking woman stands on the edge of the deck. Her transformation takes just a second, and she finishes with a large smile.

"Hello, little one," Mother Nesh says, rushing in for a wet hug. "I am so happy to see you're alright."

"Mother Nesh, it's cold," I say. "And I'm bigger than you."

"Oh, yes. Sorry, forgot water makes it worse for you all," she says, then flicks us dry with her mana. "Better, and you will always be a little one. It's too much fun saying that to a towering warrior. Now, a warning, the Queen is going to call your house to the castle for a party that will be more than just a party."

"Reason?" I ask.

"If I could share the reason, I would have done it. The party will be more than what the official announcement says," Mother Nesh says. "Duchess Fluvis, I can not thank you enough for going out in your state and bringing back our little girl and her husband. Where is he?"

"Sleeping," I say. "She used her mana to heal all who lost their limbs in the rescue. Didn't pace herself correctly."

"Oh, that was sweet of him to do that," Mother Nesh says. "I should talk with your prisoners, Duchess Fluvis."

"Princess Elora, can you take her? I don't wish to make you help me up and down the decks again."

"Happy to," I say. Mother Nesh is not going to like this news. But it seems Mother Nesh is a bit distracted right now.

"She really did name a champion," Mother Nesh says. "I prayed, and it felt like she was closer than normal, and now I know why. Congratulations, Duchess Fluvis. Kids and becoming a champion—so much to celebrate in so little time. You earned it with your devotion to the Goddess of the Sea, and I am happy to see it recognized."

"Thank you, Royal Consort Nesh," Fluvis says with her best bow. "I am just happy to serve the Goddess."

"As we all should. But we all must get out of this cold," Mother Nesh says, turning back to me.

I lead her back down the stairs, where we come face to face with the dead woman walking.

"My kidnappers," I say. Mother Nesh takes a good look at the depressed Princess. Talindra knows to keep quiet about our deal.
