Chapter 331 – Start of an Execution

Shyla put me in a bright red dress, letting my mocking of the damn Edeozia Queendom be limited to earrings. Kelly stayed behind to help Mai, along with Shyla, so Aurora has to lead us to the execution stage. It looks like she'll be completing the requirements to become my concubine soon, but I know she has a few more months left. Anyway, she takes me towards one of the castle gates, not through it, but to a large field with a small gathering of nobles around a platform.

I'm a little late, or late compared to the rest of my oversized harem. The few groups I have in my harem are huddling around, and Elora is standing all by herself near the wooden platform. Nanoka is missing again, but it seems likely that she's listening in, ready to pop in if she needs to. My Edeozian wives don't seem too bothered by the event, though Azula is giving me a strange smile. Fucking bitch.

The only harem bigger than mine looks to be the Queen's harem, who start to all climb up onto the platform. The Edeozia Queen gets tossed out of some hole in the ground that disappears the second the fucker is out. Some guards take her arms and force her up the steps. The Queen follows them in some golden armor. An elaborate sword is at her hip, with a skull icon embedded in the hilt.

I guess they do the executions in a more personal manner. The Queen is more of a mage, so I would've thought they would burn the bitch alive or something. Chopping her head off won't be as rewarding for me. Hopefully, Fertility has something better planned for the brothel owners.

"Welcome, all, to the execution of Queen Edeozia," the Queen says. "This was the second war with our northern neighbors during my reign. Which is something I am sorry for, as both Queendoms suffer when we fight. To help us mend our relationship, we will be helping to put a new dynasty on the throne. One that we will raise with our morals."

What? The war was started because they raped me, something this Queendom is more than happy to do as well.

"Our understandings. Someone raised amongst us so we can be better friends, so our people can thrive. To do this, we must cut off the old line. The one that pushed for the wars to happen. The regime that caused so much suffering. My daughter, Elora, fought bravely and won the decisive battle that allowed us to end the war quickly. With that achievement, I have given the harem of Princess Alzi the honor of watching over our northern neighbors while they hold power until the future Queen can be raised properly. I have to thank Princess Alzi for accepting such a strange proposal and building a path to a lasting peace between our nations."

They must've muzzled the bitch somehow. Her jaw is straining right now to say something. Likely to call out the bullshit the Queen is spilling, or how I should've just given their whores a kid, and the war wouldn't have ever happened.

"Today is the final fulfillment of that peace agreement. With the beheading of ..."

"Who gives you the right to kill the Queen and supplant her line with your own?" an odd voice calls out. "The lands you wish to control are mine. Not this silly Queen's or yours. Do you wish to start another war? Rumors are floating around that a few Goddesses wish to destroy this lowly realm."

A group of pale elves is approaching the wooden platform, and the nobles are splitting apart to let us see them all. The elf in the front is wearing a dress eerily similar to the one I had on yesterday. Something I need to praise Shyla about, I guess. Fifty women are following their leader, all in full armor, hiding their features for the most part, but I can see that they look just like Azula.

"Why would the matters of the lower realm concern you at all?" the Queen asks. "They attacked us and must face the consequences."

"You should've kept a better leash on your breeding whore, then," the pale elf says. "Just as the Dragons and Phoenixes own your Queendom, I own the Edeozia Queendom. A change in leadership requires my approval, which you do not have. Release her."

"This was the deal we had," I say. "The bitch needs to die."

"Shut up, whore. I was talking to the ones in power here. Not some bastard dragon. If your realm doesn't care about you, why should I? Of course, I could always have a bit of fun and serve the Dragons your head on a platter. We could see what they do then," the elf says. I hear the ringing of a blade, but all I see is white.

"Now, now, Lensa," Nanoka says. "No need to be so bitchy. We all know you hardly care about their Queendom. I honestly thought you stopped paying attention to it. If you want to save your pet Queen, you'll need to do it through diplomacy, not with swords and mana."

I can't really see anything past Nanoka's white tails. Which is probably the whole point; you can't hit what you can't see, I guess. Well, you can't aim at what you can't see. I have luck on my side now, right, my daughter? So, blind firing shouldn't work all that well.

"A washed-up Queen shouldn't be talking to me so casually," Lensa says. "Think you can still take me on?"

"Easily. I have a champion to help heal me, who I think has completed her class, right? And then, a Phoenix Queen candidate, and a very strong Kitsune, too, to help support me. The Queen here isn't someone to ignore, either. Oh, and how could I forget the Valkyrie of Death or one of the original Succubi? I think that's more than enough to teach you that you can't do as you wish here."

"Mother?" Azula says.

"I have no daughter like you," Lensa says. "Don't bother me. Nanoka, how far have you fallen? Married to some exiled dragon, living in the lower realm. Do you really think I can't handle myself against all of this, or do you think you can hold me long enough for your daughter to come save you?"

"I'm a champion of two Goddesses, thank you very much," I say. Should I pick my next classes? I kind of forgot about that whole thing, and now I'm wondering why Fertility hasn't forced me to decide yet.

"Even a whore to the Goddesses."

"What the fuck did I do to you?" I ask. "What the fuck. It isn't my fault; even the bitch's harem is happy to see her die. They threw her away pretty fast, and the ice elf you don't like thought it would be a good idea to get rid of her." Looks like my waiting period is over. Maybe Fertility also forgot to give me back the choices? But now it's coming in, my breasts swelling to show off my new mana.

I'll have to move fast to pick from these. I hope I don't destroy my dress; to say my chest is tight would be an understatement. Shyla decided everyone needs to be able to see the exact shape of my breasts. Every bump, protruding vein, and the current state of my nipples. Ok, so maybe I can't blame the new bitch for calling me a whore. I kind of dressed into that one.

But she could still be nicer about it.

Classes. Pick fast, but well, Alzi. I'm sure you can do that now. Is Elora nearby? She did seem to have some alright insight the last time I had some choices.

Master of Mothers: You've made many mothers over the years. They should serve you for giving them the blessing of a child.

A little creepy, but still better than a breeding or sex class, right?

Mother of Many Hats: You have many responsibilities in your harem. Get some assistance with completing all of your duties so that you can be there for your children and lovers.

Well, that seems like an easy choice, at least.

Battlefield Healer: Help those fighting for you to regain their health and strength.

Healer of Life: Women leaving your healing services have often left with more than just their lives. The women who use your services should continue their work of spreading your genes.

I guess Sex is still sneaking into my classes, but one out of four isn't too bad.

"You are the reason that my little pet Queendom has lost so many women. You and that stupid bird at your side. What a fucking overreaction to a man being stolen. Let the women have a bit of fun, and pick him up later. Hardly something that required calling upon such a rare beast. Do you really think it was smart to do that? Do you think we don't have our own beast to throw at this silly Queendom?"

Guardian of New Life: No matter how many children you have, they are all precious beings. Protect them and the women who usher in the next generation.

Suddenly, things get really cold and then really far away. Nanoka's tails are no longer blocking my vision. She's too far away to do that. But not far enough away that I can't see a bit of blood splattered on her tails. Shimmer, Geta, and the Queen are still with Nanoka and the ice elves. I can't find Nakuma, so I'm guessing she's hiding somewhere in the strange space Nanoka set up for the battle.

My view of the fight slowly dims as a snowstorm fills the pocket of space. The nobles around me start to get dressed for battle, and even Elora starts to get out some armor.

"Elora, don't even fucking think about it!" I say. "Get over here. You aren't fighting in that. I may need you to help me pick my classes. Vanya and Inanos as well. Run if you need to." I'm not losing those kids. "Harem Breeder! Fucking Sex, getting in the damn way. Whore of the Great Castle! Fertility and Power, you said these would be better."

"Are those your new classes?" Elora asks. She still has a sword on her hip.

"Choices," I say. "You can put on your armor, just for safety. But you aren't running off to a fight."

"Thank you, Love," Elora says. Her maids work quickly to get my wife dressed for a battle that better not fucking happen. Their promise of safety can't be broken this fast. "Those are clearly out, so what else do you have?"

"The last option is Dragon's Hoarder. I've gathered many precious things and need to be willing to do everything needed to protect them," I say. Sounds like Sex could weasel her way into that one as well. I guess I can't truly be free of her.

"That sounds like a good one. Do you have some healer-specific classes? I don't think they are fighting to the death, but they clearly wish to maim," Elora says.

"I can't see shit in there, so how do you know?" I ask. "But yes, I have two that are healer classes. One is Battlefield Healer, which I'll pick."

"Mother hasn't brought out any big spells. She could do more to fight the blizzard, and Nanoka is letting the fight stay in the yard. With Nakuma and her together, they could easily move this out of the city. And Mother's wives aren't joining the fray. Lensa is likely just proving that they have to give her some consideration right now."

"What a bunch of shit," I say.

"We don't interact much with the higher realms, but I wouldn't be surprised if she could kill a few of the women here before Geta subdues her. Nobody wants to die just so we can kill a different Queen."
