Chapter 317 – What a Strange Deal

Esiyae does a good job being a little dog for the dumbasses. They loved to rub her massive belly, but they were probably just trying to comfort Esiyae. The Bitch Queen did frown for a moment after feeling all the kids she could've had if she didn't lose the war.

The one issue is that they aren't talking at all. How are they going to decide if they don't speak? Elora doesn't seem to mind the silence, her hand rubbing her growing womb. Shimmer is equally content, just resting, trying to show off her womb as well.

Is Elora trying to get them to choose the marriage over this? Is she trying to promise them a full womb if they marry me? She'd better not be making some bullshit promise about kids for these fucks.

Yuki takes my hand, giving it a soft squeeze with a smile.

If even she is ok with this, then fine. I'll let her try whatever this stupid plan is.

"Bitch," I call out. "Come." Esiyae comes crawling back, her belly scraping along the ground again. I give her a few pats on the ass for encouragement and wait for Elora to move this along.

"Do you need more time to come to a decision? It would just be on the first point. The death of Queen Elenaril Edeozia for starting the war, placing most of the cost for the war on her shoulders. We can start there and go forward."

"Ahem," one of the Bitch Queen's wives says, cutting off said Queen. "We are willing to accept her sacrifice. We are grateful that you are willing to bear so much of the cost, our dear Queen. We can discuss more about what happens after."

"I am not…"

"Dear," the wife says. "Azula De Vil is going to take over. We should've stopped you. She told us this would happen, and here we are. It is time to let those who can understand the future lead us, or do you wish for us to slowly join the Elagwyn Queendom after losing even more of our people? No, that won't do. The nobles are clear in that something major has to happen. Your line will continue through the children. One of them has to be worth something. You forced your daughter to bear that pain; the least you can do is offer the same resolve."

"No!" is all the Bitch Queen manages to say before she's bound. Chains and ropes surround her body, runes scrawled across all the locks.

"I'm sorry, dear. I love you, and it pains us all for this to happen. But this is the only way to continue the legacy of the house. We're sorry for being too weak to help you." The wife does at least fake some tears for us. Maybe they're real, but I don't think many royals can love others, so how would this bitch get one who can love and actually does love her?

Of course, it has to be some trick to keep the Queen from doing something stupid.

"Mother, can you take her away for now?" Elora asks. "We still have some things to discuss. We need to decide on the method of watching over your Queendom to make sure it behaves."

"Yes," the wife says. "That will have to be done with Azula De Vil. She is to be the new headwife and will fill whatever position you give us."

Elora warned I would lose my pet. But she is giving up becoming their Queen for me, so I guess I can give up one bitch. I have plenty of others. "Go," I say, giving her a good slap on the ass. "Remember what you are until this is over."

Azula's a smart bitch, crawling until she is in the middle of her wives. She even stays in her simple rags and collar, though the leash disappears. I'll have to get that back. I liked the feel of it in my hand.

"What needs to be discussed?" Azula asks, shifting around in her rags.

"Control," Elora says. "This will need to be discussed with my headwife as well. This is a position I'm putting forward, but you two will have to decide if it works for you. Sorry for springing this on you, Alzi, my Love, I just came up with it due to your request from before. The original plan was to have your harem join Alzi's and let me take over as the Queen. Now, I propose that Azula takes up the title, yet still joins Alzi's harem. All your kids will be regular citizens of Elagwyn, unable to become Queens of either Queendom. They can earn titles, but only by demonstrating their service. This will be all the control needed for the period until one of Alzi's daughters, who has the Edeozia blood flowing through their veins, is ready to lead your people once again."

"Kids?"

"Yes, Alzi, you would have to promise not to do as you did to Esiyae. You would have to promise Azula at least a few kids and a chance for the others to win your favor for a night every once in a while, but just until they are out of their prime years. Which, for most, would be soon. Otherwise, we can go the route of having officials reviewing all records to keep an eye on the Queendom."

"We would prefer the first option," Azula says. "If Alzi promises none of my wives will die in childbirth."

"You remember what I told you?" I ask. Fuck, everywhere I go, it's just more promises of fucking women, handing out kids to everyone for anything to go in my favor. "No, this doesn't make sense. Just let me enslave Azula, and we can rule that way."

"No," Azula says. "No, we will not just be your slaves. If you want a collar around our necks, you'll have to marry us. Otherwise, officials will have to do."

"Can't we kill them all?" I say. "Just end the line and promise that a kid from Esiyae will get the throne once they are old enough. They can't like the royal family, so maybe the people will ask for a completely new line to be born. Elora, you can provide them with a new line."

"No," Elora says. "The Goddess of Royalty won't accept that."

"Fucking Goddesses," I say. "Fine, then. If they're marrying me, they have to be slaves. Otherwise, they have to have spies in all their meetings. Even when they have sex, someone from our Queendom has to be there. One mistake, and I get my slaves."

"Then we shall become your pets," Azula says with a great big smile. Why are you smiling about becoming my pet? Was becoming a broodmare your life's ambition?

Her wives don't question the statement, just nodding along to the insane declaration. I guess I can be happy that she listened to my command. We'll have to see how good she is at training pets for me. It'll be hard when she can't move because of all the kids.

"The full agreement," Elora starts. "Queen Elenaril Edeozia will be killed for the kidnapping, rape, forced impregnation of me and my wife, starting a war, and the crime of kidnapping a healer from her station. Once the children between Princess Alzi and Princess Esiyae are old enough to lead the Queendom, one of them will become the Queen. Until that time, Azula De Vil will be the acting Queen. For oversight during the transition, Azula De Vil will marry Alzi and be enslaved to Alzi for complete compliance after such a terrible war. In return, Alzi will promise to give the wives chances for children and promise that none of them shall die or have long-lasting injuries from childbirth or pregnancy. The Elagwyn Queendom will be taking any land and cities it has captured, and the Ashmark family will be slaves of Alzi for their part in the kidnapping."

"Yes," I say. How did she sneak in the land grab and the Ashmark family without saying anything? Does she already know the agreements, and this is just a show for me?

"I can agree to that," Azula De Vil says, staring at me like I'd freeze over. Does she think someone will get her out of this?

"That is sufficient for the Elagwyn Queendom," the Queen says.

"This is the written version," Elora says.

"Yuki, can you please confirm it?" I ask. I should be able to trust Elora, but it would be best to double-check it. Maybe Yuki can sneak something in?

"Of course, dear," Yuki says, taking the contract first. She quickly reads it, mumbling along. "That is what the document says. It doesn't put any more requirements on you, Alzi."

"Then they can see it," I say.

Azula only spends a few seconds skimming the document before signing it. Elora takes it next, passing it back to me. Yuki helps me sign my name before the Queen takes it and signs it, too.

"Now," the Queen says. "Shall we have a wedding?"

"Not yet," I say. "We need to enforce the contract. But I need help getting out of this dress. I didn't think about this part."

"I can help, Your Highness," Shyla says. "I did think about this. I can make a little slit so that they can kiss your mark." She just runs her finger over where Contract's mark is, and my dress splits to reveal it.

I'm going to have to help her a lot during her labors, if they end up being separate events. "Elora," I say, turning to the Princess.

"Yes, my Love," Elora says, kissing the mark without a thought.

"Bitch, come here," I say, giving her a bright smile. Think you can fuck the Goddess over? Dumbass. "My Queen, if you could, please?" I need to be nice to her.

"As you wish," the Queen says. "Happy to have it backed by the heavens. Thank you for helping."

Azula does her job, crawling over like the little bitch she's going to become. The Queen comes as well.

After I get all the kisses on my mark, the paper glows, and we're all set. "Now, we can do the wedding," I say. "Tomorrow, give me the weakest of your wives, Azula. I'll get her pregnant to prove I'll give you all a chance. Unfortunately, we'll need all the strength we can get soon, so you'll have to wait before getting to look like Esiyae here."

"Yes, dear," Azula says, shaking at my feet.

This wasn't perfect. I don't really like that I have to marry Azula or promise them kids. But the Queen is going to die, so that's something. And having a slave harem isn't the worst thing in the world.

I give Mommy a big hug and stare at my pet. Why did she agree to this? Why would she agree to be my pet? What is she getting out of this? Being a slave Queen hardly sounds like fun. Why wouldn't she pick the officials? Does she know she'd mess up and get herself killed or something?

Whatever, it'll become clear once I marry Azula and give the bitch a good fucking. She'll spill it all.

Shyla closes up my little dress window, and we all stand. Time to see if Love is going to get mad about every one of my marriages or if it was just the one with Elora.
