Chapter 326 – Bathing Surrounded by Tails

It took a while for the pregnant maid to relax and let us do our work. Three sets of hands working over your naked body is a strange feeling, after all. Nakuma was a bit busy getting every nook and cranny of Yuki clean to even think of helping us with Calli, though I will say, she is very good at cleaning Yuki. But I did have to chase Nakuma off Yuki's tails; those are for me to clean tonight. I have my work cut out for me, twenty tails is a lot of work, but I'll do it.

After Calli was properly cleaned and pampered, the attention shifted to me. Without a chance to change it to Mai, I was assaulted, forced to accept their caring attention. But after my little speech to Calli, I couldn't really complain about it. I knew it would happen; I just thought I would be last, for some reason.

"Your wings, dear," Mai whispers in my ear. "We're getting all of you."

Yuki had taken my front, playing with my tits with her soft, soapy hands. Nakuma got my legs, and Calli went after my tail. I hope they help Mai get my wings. I could've included Sarania since she has a tail, and it could be funny to see how it reacts to my pampering. But I'm sure her tail would try to dart between my legs if I teased it for too long.

I carefully expand my wings, making sure Nakuma doesn't get clipped as her eyes are following Yuki's tails more than what she's doing with my body.

"Pretty," Calli whispers, moving from my tail to a wing.

"Thank you," I say, puffing my chest out a bit. "It was nice to get to use my wings again, even carrying little Irlo around. Finally, I felt truly free. But I don't know if I'll ever be completely free of all the bitches hurting me. A small part of me feels bad that I'm spending this time with you four instead of doing something about this stupid fucking war. A second stupid war over me. I don't get it. Do Champions always have wars fought over them?"

"More than you'd think," Yuki says. "They're powerful and important. A Queendom would do a lot to get one under its control. Fertility has made her Champion especially precious, with how the genders play out, kind of overshadowing Duchess Fluvis. Plus, Duchess Fluvis is strong enough to handle most things that could be thrown at her. Worst case, she can just run out to sea, and nobody could touch her. You can't fight as well, and there's nowhere to run."

"Stupid. I'm not special, and I don't want to back anyone. I just want to be left alone."

Yuki doesn't have a response to that, probably worried that I'll include her in the women I want to stay away from me. Then, I guess I am special; I doubt many houses in history feel they are going to be overwhelmed with kids less than a year into their marriage. Maybe the Dragon Queens in the past, who went through that ritual thing? I don't know what I'm going to do about getting a hundred kids at once if Zarzi really does make it to term with them.

'Space, do you know if Zarzi is alive? I keep acting like she's already dead. But maybe she's still alive?'

'Goddess of the Dragons is spending most of her time looking after your dear fiancée. So, yes, she is alive, with your kids growing inside her. Soon, Dragon will be asking me to help with the issue of having enough space for all those eggs. Should I help her?'

'Please, and thank you.'

'Of course, my dear. Enjoy your night.'

'You, too.'

"Alzi? Got something to share?" Yuki asks, poking my cheek. "You spaced out a bit."

"Just checking if Zarzi is alive, and she is somehow, and still pregnant."

"Zarzi?"

"Oh, yes," I say. I'm already at the point of forgetting some of my wives! Or wives to be. "Zarzi is a half-sister who I got pregnant just before the war, at a party. I kind of dommed her and then got her pregnant with a hundred kids. Apparently, the Queens used to do that or something. Anyways, I just asked the Goddess of Space about Zarzi, and she is still alive and actually has a hundred kids, just that they will be eggs instead of live births. Or maybe, Space just calls them eggs while they're inside the womb? Not important. But it sounds like we'll have a lot of kids to raise after this fight with Nature and Space."

"Alzi," Yuki says. "You just got a woman pregnant with a hundred kids. And then, you got a Goddess to look after her? I'm guessing the Goddess of Dragons is looking over this half-sister."

"Yes, and Space, another of my wives. She isn't bound through Love like us. But she says we are wives, and I said yes to that," I say. I don't remember if I told everyone about that marriage.

"What the fuck," comes from one of the Edeozia wives as they start getting out of the bath. "We started a war with that? Shit."

"I would have to agree with the first statement," Mai says. "The number of wives is a little high, and then that many kids is just- We're going to need a lot of help."

"Sorry."

"No, no," Mai says. "How could the Champion of Fertility not swamp us with kids? This is a very novel problem to have—too many kids. Haha, I'm married into a family that has too many kids. You're amazing, Alzi. We'll figure it out. Don't change a damn thing about yourself."

"Thank you," I say. Yuki and Nakuma have started on my wings as well, getting us closer to pampering a cute, pregnant kitty. I'll have to let the girls help me wash the Kitsunes' tails, and then I can brush them all in my room, getting them all perfect for bed. A bit of a waste, but it's the best I can do for now, and it is hardly a waste to have twenty soft tails covering you in bed. Isn't that the important thing, me comfortably enjoying my wives at their best in bed?

Ok, having them feel good, pretty, and happy is also important. But this will accomplish both, so that doesn't matter.

"Your Highness," Callie whispers. "You shouldn't drool while we're cleaning you."

"I don't know what you mean," I stammer out. "I wasn't dreaming of using your tails as a blanket."

"We already knew that was the plan for tonight," Mai says. "Try not to make it weird."

"I guess that was obvious," I sigh. I did pick them for their tails, after all.

"We love it, Alzi," Mai says. "I'm just teasing you. I know my tail won't cover much, so it'll be up to Yuki and Nakuma to make a good blanket for you. However, Calli isn't lacking either. Mine is just long."

"Long and beautiful."

"Thank you, dear."

I snap my wings shut and pounce on the pretty kitty, well, near the cute kitty. Can't go hurting the baby. I give her a deep kiss, my right hand supporting her massive belly while my left hand goes to the base of her tail. My member...

"Alzi, please wait until the bedroom," Yuki says, tugging on my tail. "We still have to clean Nakuma."

Yuki looks a little red in the face. "I guess," I say. "I am meant to clean you all. Not get you dirty."

"Please," Mai says. "I've had a few contractions over the last few days, so I'll likely be going into labor soon. I don't think this is the best time for you to ravage me, dear."

"Really?! Why didn't you say so? Sit on the edge. You shouldn't be washing me so close to labor," I say.

"Stop! I'm not in labor. I want to enjoy this night like normal. My first pampering after getting married. Just be gentle with your little kitty."

"Yes, dear," I say. I send a little mana to Mai's womb to see what I'll find. Maybe my kiss will tell me something? The baby is upside down, so that is good.

My kiss doesn't tell me anything, but I'm sure some blood for Mai would be good. She struggled so much with her last birth that some extra energy would be good for her.

"You're going to have to feed off me a bit before we go to bed, or will that make it too hard to sleep? Should we do it now? And you should have the blanket, not me. We have to make sure you're well-rested. I'm sure this kid makes it difficult for you to get to sleep, and you should really sit down for this. I don't know how I could let you bathe me. I remember how hard it is, and you don't have my Skills. I'm sorry, I got too caught up in everything that I didn't think about you. Sorry, I'm sorry. I..."

"Dear," Mai says, kissing me to shut me up. "You're fine. I know a single word would've gotten me all of that treatment. You hardly think about slowing down during a pregnancy, and that isn't your fault; we have a lot of work to do to fix that with you. I'm fine. Really. I may not have a lot of mana, but vampires are naturally stronger. I'm happy to wash my wives and have them wash me. And I'm about to be sitting down, letting you, who is also pregnant with a number of children, one of which is mine, brush my tail. How about I have my little snack while you work on Calli's tail in the bedroom? Now, just focus on washing your pregnant kitty. I'm sure you just checked and saw that everything is fine with me and our baby."

"Yes," I whisper. I need to do better. I can't do this with some of the others. My maids are heavily pregnant, so I'll have to leave most of the work to the Ashmark bitch. I'll keep her from getting pregnant for a while, too, as I don't need another breeding bitch right this second. I'll need to check with Sarania about how she's doing at the end of her pregnancy. "Please help me not to push everyone when they're pregnant. Please."

"We will, dear, we will," Mai says, wiping my tears away. "You're fine, Alzi, you haven't hurt anyone. You haven't done anything wrong, and even if you had, it isn't your fault. You're just doing what the Mistress trained you to do. We understand, and we love you. Now, how about you run your hands over my belly with some soap?"

"Yes," I say. I move my hands slowly, being gentle with the stretched skin. Another baby I'll get to see so very soon. You're working to protect them, Alzi. Remember that when you have to help a Goddess. It's so that you can be with your kids.

"There you go," Mai hums. "So gentle. Thank you, Alzi. You've worked so hard to get here. I know this family will pull us through, and then we just have to focus on loving our beautiful children. You deserve that, and you'll get it. I promise."

I just nod along, worried I'll say something stupid and ruin the moment.

I'll have to convince War to help us, and I have to go to her tomorrow. But before that, I'll visit Nanoka and the Kitsune Queen. They seem to know a lot, and I'm sure one of them will be able to help me figure out how to negotiate with the Goddess. Tonight, I just have to make Mai comfortable. I think the child will probably come in the middle of the night. Mine like to do that.
