Chapter 417 – Planning the Day

Nanoka stayed behind with Elo while Geta and the odd maid came with me to the dungeon.

I should've dragged my Aunt here as well and used her as the reason to come down here and see if I really want to interact with Father. It's silly, I know. He was probably forced to do most of the bad things, but he still went too far with Mommy.

"My Queen," the maid says. "Don't worry. I think you'll be happy with how Phollo was holding him. I know it isn't the same as personally doing the punishment, but I'm sure you'll agree this was more than enough."

"I doubt it," I say. Why would they hurt the only royal male that badly? It's probably just a slightly uncomfortable bed or something.

"We'll see, my Queen," the maid says. "I never got the full story about what he did. I'm guessing based on you not wanting to see him."

"He went too far," I say. "There are always a few men who just go too far. Or people, I suppose. Phollo and Phrogni went too far, as have a number of other women in my life. Listing them all would be a great way to stall this meeting."

"Then I'll take your word for it," the maid says. "He's right around this corner, my Queen."

Well, this is something. They must have gotten some inspiration from their spies watching me. No, with how bloodthirsty they were with me, they probably came up with this all by themselves. Maybe their spies were feeding the brothel owners ideas before they died.

He's been pinned against the wall, with a blindfold over his eyes, his wings ripped from his body and pinned over his head, and even his tail has been taken. Even his cock has been cut off and pinned to the wall! But why is there a rod in it? I will not be thinking about the size of that rod. Someone else will be removing that. A Queen shouldn't be touching something that. A Queen shouldn't even be looking at something like this.

I almost feel bad for him. I probably should, but I'm angry, so I won't be.

"Daughter?" he grumbles.

"I suppose," I say. "Why were you so disgusting with her?"

"So she would believe me," he groans.

"She would've done it with you anyway," I say. "She was lonely and would've folded. You just wanted control instead of being the one controlled. But your owners were cruel, so I guess I can let it be, myself. I'll let Mommy have a chance to decide your fate." I'm going to have to heal him. I guess I'll have to live with Phollo getting my revenge for him hurting Mommy. I don't really have that much of a claim to hurt him anyway. "Shouldn't someone have taken him down before now?"

"We thought about it, my Queen," the maid says. "But the last Queen's order was to keep him here, so we had to continue doing so."

"Is there anything else that she told you all?" I ask. "Did he just pass out?"

"He hasn't been awake that often, my Queen," the maid says. "Feeling his daughter in the same room as him probably pushed him to force out all of his strength just to wake up and say those few words. Someone will need to heal him if you want a longer conversation."

"Is someone around that can take him down?" I ask. "That should happen, at least."

A pair of guards comes in and starts to unchain him from the wall. He didn't actually have that many chains tying him to it. I think they just wanted the metal to cut into him rather than keep him in place. Of course, they had to keep him capable of getting women pregnant. Probably used him for my grandmother. It's funny, they thought the nephew was impregnating their Aunt.

Wait, Grandma had three royal kids! I'll probably beat her soon, but to not have any help and get three is kind of crazy. Phollo and Phrogni must have really planned out the coup to have Grandma decide to just hide instead of killing them. Or was she worried about the next generation of royals if she killed her kids?

"Was he part of the coup?" I ask.

"All three were, my Queen," the maid says.

"So that's why Elo didn't stop it and went into hiding," I say. "Well, I don't have to heal this one much. Just throw him in some house somewhere after I heal him. I don't need anyone else creating royals. I've already got more than enough on the way. But it makes it easy to decide what to do with him. The idiot should've promised his Mother something; he would've been free instead of going through this."

"I suppose he did jump into the fire, going with his sisters, my Queen. But this is all I had for you."

"Then there's nothing else for me to do," I say. "I'll heal him after Mommy sees him. I shouldn't deny her that. I'll have to show her Grandma first to make sure she doesn't feel bad for the idiot. Oh, yes, I should take her down to the temple and try to work out that ritual to fix her and Zarzi. I could take her to see Mommy first and possibly fix her at the same time. Two in one!"

"My Queen," Kou says. "Is it smart not to heal him?"

"He's lived this long. He won't die within a single day. Right?"

"We can ensure he makes it another day, my Queen," the maid says. "That is easy. He should last without intervention for a month at least, even hanging on the wall."

"Good enough for me," I say. "Time to go grab Grandma and move back to the temple."

"I can handle these directions," Kou says. "Focus on getting a cell prepared for my Majesty's Aunt. We may bring her back tomorrow."

"I serve the castle," the maid says.

I doubt that, but I'll let it be for now. She just finished describing how she betrayed the last Queen. Even if it was to protect the old Queen, maybe she just betrays every other Queen? I'll have to figure it out later. Perhaps I can ask around to see if she'll hurt me. She doesn't seem to care about the kids, so I just need to be nice to Grandma, and she'll be happy.

Should I get Elo into my harem so Nanoka will have a friend? Nanoka was always by herself, so it would be a good way to help her out. Plus, there are her thoughts about getting me to love her. I guess I'm pretty close already. She's a pretty woman and now an expecting Mother again. And her tails...

"My Majesty," Kou says. "Daydream about your wives later, please. You want to do a ritual, and those almost always have long prep times. We need to get there quickly, and you need to talk to a Goddess, and then the Priestesses need to get the supplies, and I'm just assuming you're going to be told what the ritual is. You have a Valkyrie married to you with your offspring in her womb, so of course, she's going to come up with something. But come on, pregnant women shouldn't be standing in a cell for this long."

Esiyae was in a cell for a long time. Why did I just think of her? Whatever, getting somewhere better than this would be nice. "Please lead the way," I say.

"Of course, my Queen," Kou says.

...

"You really did strip to join my Grandma," I say.

"I should've known you would be back," Nanoka says. "Yes, I stripped and got in bed with one of my old rivals. What are you going to do about it?"

"Marry her and force you two to share a room," I tease. Maybe. It's more likely that they're just going to end up sharing my room with my Mommy issues.

"She seems to be sleeping better with her ear listening to our little ones," Nanoka says. "Not that they're making any sounds yet. Well, where to, my Queen?"

"Nowhere yet," I say. "I'm not letting go of this moment. I haven't seen you properly naked before. I saw the Kitsune Queen naked before I saw my own wife naked. I even got you pregnant before seeing you naked!"

"You saw my daughter naked? I need to hear how you managed that. Is she pregnant?"

"No," I say, climbing into the bed. "I got close, but I went and ravaged Yuki instead. I don't know if I really saw Kiyomi naked. She at least tried to make it look like an illusion. I was telling her I wanted to get her pregnant, but in her pond thing." Nanoka doesn't move as I come to lie beside her, my head nestling into her neck.

"Wait, you were talking about getting her pregnant in the royal garden?" Nanoka asks. "In her pond, even?"

"Yes, I was quite demanding," I say. "I don't know if she really believed that I would do it. I really couldn't tell which body was real."

"If you were insistent on getting her pregnant, I'm sure she did what you asked and tried to play it off. Knowing how you work, I'm sure you fully planned on getting her pregnant until a last-second change. She was in her pond, naked and ready to get pregnant. Haha, you had a Queen willing to defile her pond to have your kid. Alzi, my dear, you must do that again. You can make any request of me, just promise you'll get her back in that pond and get her pregnant. Please. I'm sure she's still flustered about that incident. I ask for both her pride and the funny thought of her conceiving there. Just be kind about the count. I need to have the ability to tease her about it."

"If I ask, you have to let out all your tails."

"You're making infinite requests sound like just one request," Nanoka says. "You're smarter than you think. Very well. For my dear wife, I'll let it slide. But if you make me pull them out when they'll get dirty, you have to help me clean them."

"Anytime! I have a body to take care of my wives now," I say. "Now."

"Don't you dare make me get them out already!"

"No, I just want to grab your tits, and then we can get dressed and go to the temple. Kou is looking a little red in the face."

"Your Majesty, take your time. I would never want to rush you on a day without a set schedule," Kou says. "I can stand here silently blushing if you need me to."

"Sure," I say. "The one who doesn't want to get pregnant is really willing to watch me have sex with my wife. You know what my lust does to people."

"Maybe I am, Your Majesty."

"You switched your address."

"Your Majesty is simply being annoying, daring to say her head maid is trying to rush Your Majesty while she is in bed with her pregnant wife. I would never."

"You are trying to rush us, Kou," Nanoka says. "There's no need to hide it. You like the way Grandma looks without any clothing. That is the only part of this scene you aren't used to. Sorry, Alzi, but it seems I need to get dressed.""You don't have to," I say, testing her wonderful tits in my hands.

"My Majesty," Kou says. "We'll be outside for at least a few seconds."

"Oh, yes, we're going back to the temple. Fine, I can take over for Grandma while you get dressed. My kids may be making some noises for her to listen to."

"Thank you, dear. Just a bit of mana and... There we go," Nanoka says.

That really is convenient, being able to switch places with me without waking Grandma up. I pet her hair a bit and watch Nanoka get her robe on. I should've tried to find a way to get her to grow her breasts as well. I'm sure she's got quite a bit of her size still hidden from me. Maybe a bit of pampering will ease them out somewhat.

I need to get Shyla here for tomorrow! I need to be dressed well for my crowning. I'm sure she would love to get my dress ready for me. I didn't even think about that.

'Space. Is there something I can do so that Shyla can get up here? I can't let someone else dress me for the first crowning ceremony I'll be in.'

'Promise to visit me soon, and I'll do it,' Space says.

'She's in labor, isn't she?' My maids are so troublesome.

'Yes. Her first is coming, and she really doesn't want to bother you with it right now. I'll drag her over to you.'

'Thank you, my love.'

"Ready, everyone?" Nanoka asks.

"Yes."
