Chapter 302 – Too Much Work

*** Alzi ***

It was blank. Nothing. Everything was simply black last night. The Mistress didn't chase me, I wasn't tied up, I wasn't raped. I just got to sleep.

I knew marrying Mommy would help me.

"Good morning, Alzi," Mai says. "Are you feeling ok?"

"Hmm? Yes," I say, pulling my pregnant kitty into a hug. Just Mai, Mommy, and her wives are here. Maybe I should include Kelly in this. Yuki should've worked it out with her to let me know about the sale. Kelly wasn't really my friend back then. Not in the same way that I thought Yuki was, at least. Yuki should've planned out how to tell me, not Kelly.

"Good," Mommy says, hugging my back. "You were having a nightmare, but Sarania brought a woman here who did something to stop it. I'm glad that it let you sleep peacefully."

"Oh," I say. I guess that makes more sense. "What woman?"

"Osanna," Mai says. "Her pregnant wife was here as well. I think Sarania wants to help you collect some of your kids with the nobles."

"That would be nice," I say. It is going to be hard raising all my kids. Zarzi herself has a hundred on the way somehow. I doubt she'll actually make it, but maybe she will. Also, Isda and Vanya are rather full. And like Mai, Isda should be close to giving birth.

So many kids. I'll make sure to show them all my love.

"Should we get something to eat and see our kids?" Mommy asks.

"That sounds nice," I say.

"Your Highness," Aurora says, walking in on us. Do maids just get to see everyone naked without anyone caring? "I see you are already up. The morning is yours. A little after lunch, you will need to go over what to do with the prisoners that you have control over."

"Can we have breakfast with my kids?" I ask.

"Yes, your Highness. Is there anything you want for breakfast? Your kids are in the room next to this one, so we can have the food brought there easily."

"Some fruit is fine if we have it."

"We do, Your Highness," Aurora says. "I'll tell the kitchen. Annoris can direct you to the kids."

"Thanks," I say. "Annoris? She showed up?" The lazy dryad better not ask to be my maid again. I should get Calli to replace her.

"Yes," Aurora says. "We will be in the capital for a while, so most of the maids have moved back here again. I know you weren't happy with her before, but she is a good cleaner, so give her a chance. Elora didn't give you a useless maid."

"I'm sure," I say. I think the only time I really saw Annoris was when I got her pregnant, but whatever. I guess if she just stays in the background, cleaning, it doesn't really matter if she is my maid or not.

Aurora bows out and gives us some time to do our thing. Which, for me, is looking at the Skills I got from yesterday. I guess fucking a Goddess and performing two rituals gets you a lot of rewards from your Goddess. I also need to put on a robe. I shouldn't be naked around my kids.

"Baby, are you alright?" Mommy asks.

"Yes," I say. "I got some levels from yesterday, and I'm looking over my new Skills." It has been a while since I got any Skills. And I'm all the way to twenty-four, now. Just a single level until I find out if Sex has found a way to fuck me over again.

"Your breasts do feel bigger than when you went to bed," Mai says. "Are you just going to put on a robe?"

"Yes, I don't carry around any of my dresses. Either Shyla or my closet has the rest of my wardrobe. I'm changing sizes too fast, and now I'm pregnant again with a lot of kids, so I'll be getting big quickly again. Shyla has to do a lot of work to keep my clothing fitting me."

"I see. That is a strange problem. I hope you got some good Skills."

"I doubt it," I say. The first one is already about pregnant women, 'Harem of Princesses: Princesses in your harem can handle pregnancies better and have faster pregnancies,' or 'Ritual Mother: Pregnancies conceived during rituals are more likely to be divine or royal. They are easier to carry and give birth to.' I hope that includes the kid Fertility gave me.

I guess at least one is good, 'Healer of the Harem: Those you are married to are easier to heal and will live longer in critical condition.' The next is nice as well: 'Protective Warmth: Your sexual partners can handle extreme temperatures better.' Maybe I can bring Mai in with me for some warm baths with Shimmer. I can still use Shimmer for those, I suppose. They'd better not fucking fail me again.

Done with my new Skills, I pull out a robe and slip out of bed. The rest of my lovers are ready to meet our kids. Once again, I'm the slow one when it comes to getting prepared.

"Ready, baby?" Mommy asks.

"Yes," I say. My breasts are getting kind of big, not enough to start shrinking them yet, but it will happen soon.

Outside, the stupid pregnant dryad is standing with a strange smile. "This room, your Highness," Annoris says, pointing to our right.

"Thanks," Mommy says for me.

Inside are a few maids and Sarania. The babies all turn to look at me, six cute little faces. "Hi, babies," I say, wondering who I should pick up first. I can let Mommy and Sarania take their kids. Maybe I should just play with the last three to make it fair. I'll have to find time to play with the other kids as well. Isda's kids will also have to join in. But that would be too many kids in one room, and Osanna's wife will be giving birth soon, as will Mai.

This war needs to end quickly. I have too many kids to take care of.

I move over to the golden hair of my Goddess children and get to playing with them. Aurora comes in shortly after with some fruit and starts to help with the kids.

...

"Alzi," Yuki says, pushing into the room. "I'm sorry, but I have the Ashmark family that I would like to have a decision about soon. I would like to transfer ownership if you want them, or I can give them to Mai if you'd prefer that. If neither of you wants them, then they will still go to you, Alzi, but they will be the family's to command."

All that stupid business is getting in the way of my kids. "Sorry, babies," I say. "I have too much going on. I'll be back." I put Uktok (son of Alzi and Armirynth) down in the crib and move over to Yuki. "I'll take them. I have plenty of uses for at least the woman. The man will likely die soon."

"They are my gifts to you," Yuki says. "Do as you please with them."

"Wait, I want to see them," Mai says. "They did try to kill me."

"Please, join me," I say. It would probably be best if I have some support when meeting those fuckers.

Nakuma is fidgeting outside the room, taking Yuki's hand the second she can. I'm glad they are getting along so well. I'll probably cave soon and just accept them into my bed for those tails. Nakuma will protect me better if Yuki is nearby.

We just move a few more doors down and enter another room. This one has two elves naked and chained to the back wall.

"Ready to meet your Mistress?" Yuki says, turning on the light.

The two high elves are a bit skinny, but mostly unharmed. Has she been saving them for me and Mai?

"Welcome, Mistress," the woman coughs out. The man doesn't say anything, just standing there and staring at the ground until the woman elbows him into action.

"Hello, Mistress," he spits out.

"Why did the collar not force him to speak?"

"He is yours, not mine, so my commands did nothing."

"Ok. You are to follow all orders of my wives and the maids. You are not to have sex with anyone but me," I order. If my wives want kids, they can come to me and beg. I won't let this pathetic thing father children. That would be a disservice to the world.

"Yes, Mistress," they say.

"On all fours, ant," I say to the man. He doesn't move, but the woman does. "I said: Ant. Get on your damn hands and knees. You said I was worthless, and now, here you are, a slave owned by me. What does that make you? Owned by someone worthless. Does that make you a charity case? Do you owe me for having the misfortune of owning you?"

...

"Answer me!"

"No," he squeezes out. His whole body is shaking as he fights my commands. This fucker will get broken in. By the time his wife is in labor and pushing out my kids, he'll understand his position. He'll thank me for giving his wife children, happy I decided to bless his life with my commands.

"Why are you on the ground, bitch? Did I say you should be down there?"

"Sorry, Mistress," she says, her eyes are already empty, staring right through me. Has Yuki hidden the torture from me?

"Why does she have a blank stare?" I ask.

"I killed her wives when I took her. I even tricked her into putting the collars on herself. She had to watch her wife die, thinking I was about to save her. I think she's given up on life. The little boy thinks he'll be saved for some reason."

"Good. Bitch, I have some great questions for you to answer, but first, I need a sword."

"Yes, Mistress. But I do not have a sword," bitch says.

"I have one," Yuki says.

"What would you call that sword, Yuki?"

"Hmm? I never gave it a name. If you are wondering about the type, it's called a short sword."

"Short? No, I can't do this with just a short sword. No, this needs at least a full-sized sword."

"Very well," Yuki says, smiling. I wonder who she thinks this sword will be going inside. "VICTORIA!"

I think it would've been better to have a maid pass the message, but this does give us time to watch the ant finally give in and fall to the floor.

"What the fuck do you want, you fucking bitch? I'm trying to get some fucking sleep here. Do you know how long I've been working my damn ass off, and then I finally got married to not just one Princess but a whole fucking harem of them? Hello Alzi, thank you for letting me into your marriage. What the fuck do you want, and why the fuck did you need to yell, Yuki?"

"I need a bigger sword," Yuki says. "Alzi doesn't think a short sword will work."

"There are so many ways to get a bigger sword. Why the fuck did you need to yell for me?" Victoria curses, but she pulls out a bigger sword. "Here, Alzi."

"Thank you," I say. "Now, bitch, please put this up against the ant's ass."

"Wait. Wait. Wait. You are not putting that sword into someone's ass! Fucking hell. Have some damn class, Princess. This sword is much better for fucking up someone's ass." The new sword is a bit longer and tapers to a point more gradually, so I see what she means. It should go in easier. "It even has a bit of rust to let it really sink in. If there's nothing else, I'll be going back to fucking sleep. You can keep the shit sword, Alzi. Call it my first gift to you."

"Thank you," I say. "This should be all."

The warrior just gives me a short wave before stomping out of the room.

"Well, put this up against his asshole instead."
