Chapter 31. Tilty’s fate

"Absolutely not." Zeldi growled at me as I came around to her spot.

"I haven't even said anything yet." I defended myself.

"No, but you were going to say something about Tilty becoming your livestock. The answer is no." She huffed with a stamp of her hoof.

"Even if you got to decide what happens to her while she's here?" I asked.

Zeldi growled and dramatically threw her hands into the air. "Whatever I think of will be tame in comparison Master. It's why she's come to you now, everything you can possibly think of as a form of punishment would be leagues better than anything she will experience over there."

[May I have some context lady Zeldi? I feel I don't know what's happening and maybe verbalizing it will help with a decision.]

Tarakona moved herself so that her snout was close to the two of us and brought her wings up to give us some makeshift privacy.

Zeldi let out a breath that seemed to calm her down somewhat before collapsing onto the ground. She then made grabby hands at me until I joined her only to get kidnapped into her embrace like I was a teady bear.

"Tilty is the reason I'm here Tarakona. She's the reason I'm stuck on this farm." Zeldi let out nuzzling into the back of my head.

[She's the reason you serve Master Clovek? Forgive me but I don't understand. The message I got said you could not find fault with Clovek and would willingly take him as a mate even if you weren't a livestock.]

I raised an eyebrow at the dragon. That seemed like the message was very thorough. Did Zeldi have any input on the message itself?

"No. Clovek is a wonderer, his presence here is because of me." Zeldi partly answered.

Tarakona let out a sound of surprise before giving me a big sniff.

[I see.]

"Tilty is the reason I was here in the first place, she needed a livestock and put a large price on getting one." Zeldi continued. "Some traders found me when they were trading with my village and deceived me into leaving. Once I was too far to call for help they kidnapped me and tried to drag me all the way back to Tilty."

[But you must accept to become bound to the land. If you were kidnapped couldn't you just refuse?]

"And how do you think someone may persuade someone to submit to them? And remember I'm not a big beautiful dragon that can just scare them away." Zeldi countered.

[Torture.]

The one word drew us all into silence. The fate that awaited Zeldi had this land not offered her a chance to escape was not pretty. Worse when the one that was orchestrating the whole thing was just beyond the barrier.

"I got lucky when they came close to this land. Apparently no one knew it was a farm so when they crossed over I lept at the chance to be bound to it as well as become the caretaker. Once I was, the lands invulnerability made it so they couldn't do anything to me and the whole livestock can't leave thing stopped them from taking me away."

[But the deed, who had it?]

"No idea. Neither did anyone in the Barony or Tilty would have got her hands on it." Zeldi said with a shrug.

[How did you get it Master?]

"No idea either. I just got a message when I first arrived that I held the deed for Ley line farm. Zeldi had to explain what it was to me." I answered.

"Either way, once Tilty found out the livestock being delivered to her was no longer coming she made it her personal mission to make my life miserable in any way she could." Zeldi growled. "First by stopping any traders so that I couldn't buy essentials then treating me like I was no more than a horse. Even the milking machine I was forced to buy off her left marks on my tits every time I used it."

Again, so glad I could do it by hand.

"So no Master she will not be staying here."

[Why not? Wouldn't you like to get revenge yourself?]

"Why don't you lay our Master an egg Tarakona?" Zeldi asked instead.

[Stress. I require time to calm myself.]

"And if I was to have my revenge on Tilty, what use would she be to our Master?"

[None at all. She wouldn't produce anything especially if you went as far as she seemed to have.]

"Exactly." Zeldi pushed me slightly away so that she could look at my face. "So Master my revenge will be so much sweeter if she's somewhere else screaming at what's been done to her."

I gave her a nod to show I understood but her ears pinned themselves backwards as I spoke. "But the male lamia brings up a good offer. We need a house Zeldi."

"We are just fine in our current one. Plus when she becomes a livestock like she should be, you will be able to head to town and sell my milk and Tarakona's eggs." Zeldi said as if that was the perfect answer.

She did have a point about me going to town though.

"But." I started getting a cute wine from my mare. "If someone is pregnant right now we don't have a lot of time to prepare. Having a house built for us would be a huge help, unless you suddenly know how to do it yourself?"

Zeldi blew a raspberry off to the side.

"Just answer me this Zeldi. Is there a chance you are pregnant or am I reading too much into this? Because if you aren't then we can send Tilty packing right now, but if you are... We need to think about the future."

It was a horrible ultimatum but if she had lied to me when we first had sex then something needed to happen.

[I knew my input is not of significant value but what harm is there in making her work for you mare Zeldi? If you had a servant at your beck and call especially as you become less mobile it would be a lot better than Clovek having to leave his other duties. And until that becomes a problem treat her as you see fit. I would be more than happy to assist in the undoing of someone that makes our lives as livestock harder if you are worried she will not be adequately punished.]

A low growl shook the ground as Tarakona said her piece.

"This is unfair. Why are you guys ganging up on me? Fine you can keep the furry whore but she is not allowed to give birth until I say so, deal?" Zeldi demanded with a pout before grabbing my hands and placing them on her tits. "Now I'm stressed. Master milk me to help me calm down."

"I'm surprised you're still going to let me sleep with her in all honesty." I replied back. I didn't have a bottle to actually milk her but I did give her a massage with a focus on her shoulders.

"Oh my nieve Master. You can please me with your dick, so I'm going to make you rail that furry clam up the ass then force her to walk around for my amusement."

Noted. And a little aroused.

"So." I coughed to hide my obvious opinion on that topic. My body however betrayed me. "Shall we go tell them the good news?"

"Are you that interested in sleeping with her Master?" Zeldi asked as she released me.

"No. I think it's the fact that you said it. For some reason the thought of you taking control of other women in the bedroom is very.... Stimulating." I responded while readjusting.

[I shall keep that in mind.]

Tarakona removed her wings and we all winced at the return of the sunlight.

"But Zeldi you never answered my question. Is there a chance you are pregnant now?" I looked between her eyes and her belly as I said this.

"A very good chance Master." Zeldi said after some hesitation. "Please don't be mad, I wanted to tell you but when you said you would pull out I just wanted nothing more than to feel all of you inside me."

In response I ruffled her hair. "It's fine. Unfortunately this is the outcome but we'll make do. Plus we have Tarakona now so once we do her quest and get her that dragonoid form we can announce it to your family next visit."

Zeldi caught my hand and pulled me into a hug that sent me straight into her chest. "Thank you Master. I don't know what I would do without you."

"Keep calling me Master and I'll be making sure you are pregnant little mare." I got out between her tits.

"Is that a promise?"

"Naughty." I bit lightly on her nipple causing her to gasp but instead of pushing me away she pulled me in closer.

"Master. After. Please?"

He sweetness of her milk touched my tongue before I pulled away, making sure to fully cover them up. Mine.

"Of course. How about you run on back to the house and get ready. I won't be long."

Zeldi whimpered but gave a nod before dashing off in he direction of the house, holding her tits down.

[You're making me jealous.]

"Once we complete your quest you can join in. Just be prepared for Zeldi to say some stuff about Centaurs and how you're now part of her herd. She wants to be a head mare." I said quietly enough Tilty and her guard wouldn't hear.

[I am familiar with Centaur traditions. Though I must confess dragons are solitary parents so it might be nice to share the burden.]

I didn't say anything more as we got closer to Tilty. Well I got closer, Tarakona just turned her head and she was there.

It was hard to miss the hope in the fawns eyes as we came back with her fate. Instead of her though I addressed the snake man. "The house you said you can build. Can you make it big enough for a Centaur?"

"Yessss. Every room and every door will be made with her size in mind." He said back with a slight hiss.

"Large enough for a dragon as well?"

He hesitated but nodded. "We will try our best. Whatever is needed so long as Mistress Tilty has a home here and not with Dallas."

Okay so he's dedicated.

I turned to Tilty next. "You are aware of how you will be treated here right?"

"Yes." She said calmly. "I know Zeldi will treat me the same way I have treated her and I accept that."

"Why?" I asked curiously. "Why subject yourself to this?"

"Because I cannot break my connection to my current farm and run away. Instead I will be forced to serve Dallas as... Whatever he has in mind. You however could see me as more in the future, you could want me as a producer. It is a gamble but, you are my better option."

"Do you regret not offering Zeldi a similar position?" The question was one I really wanted answered. "And not because of all this. Do you regret not becoming a proper deed owner by caring for any potential livestock?"

Tilty nodded but stayed looking at Tarakona. "I regret it more now that I can see what you have accomplished. With no outside help you have somehow gotten clothes, food and a dragon who I presume is another producer. My father has destroyed my pride but if he hadn't, this would have broken me."

Good enough. If she stays that somber maybe Zeldi will forgive her. Not likely but possible.

"Then if you really know what you're getting into I'll buy you."
