Chapter 476 – Family Dinner

The short snack turned into a full lunch. I had to beg Eterna to leave her fire alone for a while to eat with us all. I think she may have wanted to sit in the fire for a bit. I'll need to get the heat lovers together for a warm bath sometime. Mommy will love it, and Eterna must miss the warmth. I'll need to see about adding some hot rooms or something to our home in the Kitsune realm.

Teleportation runes between the realms should be enough. If a volcano or wherever Eterna lives isn't hot enough for us all, then we'll never be satisfied.

"It's really gone," Fyserreia says. "Thank you for this, my Mistress. I've dreamed of this day for so long. You even gave me one of the bitches as a present. Thank you for being a fair Mistress."

"Of course," I say. "I could never be a cruel mistress. Just someone who wants revenge. Thank you, Eterna, for burning it down safely. It feels a lot more final this way."

"I'm happy to do it," Eterna says.

"Well, My Empress, would you like to go back and play with your kids?" Kou asks. "You won't have much time if you wish to have a full family dinner tonight."

"There's nothing else to do here," I say. "Some time with my kids would be great." I also have some time to spend with Space. I hope she went and grabbed the kids from Fertility. Maybe even Power's kid, too? It would be great for them all to be close as sisters, and it would get more Goddesses working together. "Everyone, group up! There's no need to ask a Goddess to put in extra work for us."

The group moves quickly. Their desire to test the Goddesses is done for the day. Probably for a lifetime. The guards must be happy that they just had to protect me instead of participating in the slaughter. It's good that my wives just hopped right in.

"DADDY!" Contract yells. She wraps around my legs as Space offers Sky and Revenge for me to hold. I take them quickly, and she joins the layered hug.

"I'm glad you're doing well," Space says. "And I'm happy you thought to visit and have these two join us. It made it a lot easier to steal them from Fertility. The elders have calmed down, and Death is saying that since you don't plan to take temples anymore, they won't do anything. They agree that they were stupid to keep Fyserreia around. Also, Nature's and Justice's temples are fair game if any are still around. They aren't Goddesses anymore, after all, so you won't find a Goddess caring about them. Or Sex, but she doesn't have any temples. The one in the capital has already been torn down, and the Priestess has run away. The Priestess had no desire to hurt you; she was just answering her calling."

"I'll let her be," I say. "I doubt she did much against me. She didn't fight to keep the temple, right?"

"No, she left before anyone thought to destroy it," Space says.

"DADDY! Stop talking about boring things!" Contract says.

"Oh, my baby wants to play," I say. "I'm sorry. Space, it seems we have a child to entertain."

"It is best we find time now," Space says. "She won't be small for long."

"She'll always be my little kid," I say. I have a reason to call her little, unlike you, Dragon! If you care at all about that. "What do we do with two babies and a little girl?"

"Leave them behind?" Contract says.

"The problems from being the older sister," I chuckle. "We'll have to split the time. I'll have to try to tire you out quickly. So don't let me catch you!"

"You'll never catch me, Daddy!" Contract says, running off into one of Space's many rooms.

"You probably won't be able to catch her in my house while you're pregnant. I didn't put much thought into the floor plan because I normally just teleport around."

"Then I'll just have to have you teleport me around," I say. "Sometimes, parents need to cheat a little, and I didn't promise to be fair to her. I'm going to have to be careful with how I play with her, since there's no need to go against her affinity while playing a game. I'M COMING FOR YOU!" Space takes the babies from my arm, and I go waddling off after Contract. I hope she doesn't complain too much about my cheating.

...

"No fair!" Contract says. "You teleported!"

"I don't know what you're talking about," I say. "I said nothing about how I would catch you, just that I was going to catch you. And now you're in my grasp. You'll have to handle Daddy hugging you and smothering you in kisses!"

"Haha, no, no! Stop!" Contract screams out as I pepper her with kisses. Her little giggles are so cute.

"Alright," I say. "I've got my fill of kisses. Ready to play with your sisters?"

"Fine," Contract says.

"Thank you. I know this isn't the most exciting thing for you to do, but I hope you can all get along," I say. "Come on, they can be quite cute to play with."

"I know," Contract groans.

Kids.

...

I've gone from playing with Goddesses to playing with my little town of babies, which still has a good mix of Goddesses in it. What a strange thing to be able to do.

"We've got some things set up outside for today, My Empress," Kou says. "Aurora thought you may like to spread out a bit, so we have things both inside and outside."

"Sounds like fun," I say.

...

Lunch with the massive bonfire felt a lot better than dinner does right now. Shyla had to get me dressed up in gold again, and everyone's here. Which I did ask for. Well, if you include Elo, Zarzi, Cisu, and Tharzi eating with my third body. Then Yzzorres, who has to be excluded, and Space, too. But I'm sure Space will be able to hear my speech if she wants to.

I wonder why they refuse to come down to the lower realms so much. If Space were just having dinner, there wouldn't be a reason for the others to want to come down. They probably just want to make it easy to tell if someone is breaking the rules, not that they cared about Nature breaking the rules for... Centuries? Thousands of years? Who knows, besides the Goddesses who were paying attention to things? Maybe Past really will be born, and I can ask her about things.

The first course is on its way, so I'll have to figure this speech out soon. I probably should've pushed this dinner out a bit so I could prepare something. I could've had Aurora or Elora help me with it. Well, not Elora. Kou or Nanoka would be a better choice to get help from. I can just say that I'm happy to be married to everyone, if you ignore the few women I'm indifferent about, and I'm glad we're growing closer as a family.

Good luck to me.

I stand up, and everyone's already looking at me. It's hard to hide at the head of the table while glowing and dressed in gold. "Hello, everyone," I say. "My wives. It's a bit crazy that this table is filled with my wives. I also thought it would just be Mommy with me, until I met Mai. A small family, except for the kids. I was always planning on having too many kids for us to handle. But we're doing well so far, I think. This family is a haphazard one, put together through strange deals, processes, and traditions. I don't love you all. Not yet, at least. Some have more work to do in that regard than others, but I'm open to loving everyone." I think.

I think it's just Yuki and Azula that are possibly in trouble when it comes to that. Maybe Yumanea, too, but I haven't given her much thought. Keep the speech going, Alzi, you haven't finished yet. "It's exciting what we have planned for the future. Control of several realms, the strongest Queendom, and, for a while, control of another Queendom. A nursery that we've already overfilled with kids, and more are coming in from the rest of the Queendom. I think everyone knows we're moving soon. I'll need help from Nakuma and Nanoka to create some teleportation runes so we can get around and see everyone easily.

"Hearth asked me a while ago to build my family on love. I didn't believe it was possible, but I suppose it is now. For that, we all need to be able to come together. Not everyone will always be here, either filling in as Queen for me, or being extremely lazy and aloof. But we need to show our kids how to be a family, how to love others, and how to be kind. We need to be the very example that will help them succeed. And for that, we need to be friends and lovers, so let's work hard to become that."

That ending really does make it sound like I have to remove Azula's collar. Maybe I should just do that and be done with it. I hinted that Yuki has a chance in a decade. Azula De Vil was a bitch and stupid on the boat, but she did, at least eventually, put a stop to the torture.

I'm really going soft on everyone.

It's for the kids. I don't have to love my wives; I just have to be friends with them so my kids turn out alright.

"Cheers!" Elora says, holding up a wine glass. She needs to get pregnant. I can't have her getting drunk at every single dinner I have. It's kind of funny, but it can't be good for her.

Everyone else holds up their own glass of water or wine, so I join them, with water, of course.

Enough worrying about things. Continue the nice day, Alzi. Tomorrow should be fun as well.

...

"Whaaaat doo you want, Alzi?" Elora asks as I lead her back to my room.

"I've decided that we can't wait any longer," I say. "You got to join a fight, you're on the throne, and now you're drunk again. So now I'm going to bend you the fuck over, and then over the next few weeks, you're going to be spending time praying to the Goddess of Kitsunes to help you give birth to another Goddess." Space gave me a wonderful idea of how to handle my drunk Queen. I can just send her off to pray to the Kitsune Goddess while I get a few of her Priestesses pregnant, and I'll have another Goddess on the way in no time.

I just need Kou to keep my normal entourage from joining me in bed too quickly.

"Ooooh, yes, that's the deal," Elora says. "I'm yours."

"Yes, you are," I say. Fyserreia already has the door open, ready to risk even more kids being added to that pretty womb of hers.

Stripping Elora is a bit of a pain; she really wants me to strip first. But soon, I have her in the bed with her round ass up and her head between Fyserreia's legs, making the succubus purr. I just have to worry about that heart-shaped tail. They still don't understand who their Mistress is.

"This is a much better way to breed," I say. Neither of us liked how our last child was conceived. This is a much better method. I grab Elora's hair, feeling Fyserreia's tail already exploring my holes, and push into Elora.

It's too bad Sarania has to watch our daughter. I'll have to get the sisters in bed with me and see how long we can last. Maybe with another body of mine? But for now, I'll enjoy the drunk Queen.
