Life as a Royal’s Breeding Partner

Chapter 412 – Finally Picking

"Baby," Mommy says. "We have things to do."

"Oh, yes," I say. I wasn't kissing Eterna, or holding her soft breasts in my hands, or something like that. I remembered I had things to do today, and I need to pick my classes!

"Eterna," Mommy says. "How about you join us today and get married with everyone. I think we would all love to have you around if you get dressed. We have some kids with our group."

"The second worst part about this body," Eterna says. "Later."

"Yes, later," I say. "Sorry if it turns into more than one kid."

"Just don't make me stay like this for much longer," Eterna says. She gives my nose a quick kiss and lets go of me. She turns around, and I get a very nice look at her ass. Shimmer has a lot of extra features that the real phoenix is showing. "I like my normal body."

"That's it?" I ask. "I raped you, and you just asked to have more sex with me."

"Yes," Eterna says, walking over to Mommy. "You promised to treat me well. I'm mad that I'm being punished for coming to your defense. I just wanted a child from you, but I can't truly say I wouldn't have made you my mate. I did want that, and things happen during sex. So I can't be too mad that you took a chance to protect yourself from me. Treat me well, give me some kids, and treat Shimmer better, and I won't be angry about my situation. I'm not going to be your slave or anything."

"I wasn't going to make you my slave," I say. "But I'll have to work on Shimmer."

"Good," Eterna says, bending over before Mommy. Couldn't I go for a quick round? She's doing this on purpose! "So this is Mommy. You really did mate her. I don't blame you. She's really cute with that belly. Well, you said we have things to do." She stands up and does a little spin, and a red dress forms around her. She stops turning, her hands on her hips with a small smile. "Where to?"

"First, we need to get the other woman I'm about to marry," I say. "Then the castle or Love's temple. And I really do need to find time to handle my new classes."

"First name basis with the Goddesses," Eterna says. "Really, on the path to be a true dragon. Well, time to gather. And you can work on the classes thing."

"Zarzi," Cisu says. "Would you be okay by yourself? Two of us should be enough for the Goddess of Love to marry our families together."

"I can stay with her," Mommy says. "Alzi, keep your third body here with her as well."

"Yes," I say. "That's a good idea. Nanoka can come with us or stay behind."

"I thought that was who she was," Eterna says. "Mother grumbled about Nanoka a lot. You liked to teleport around too much for her liking or something. She always worried too much about the other realms. If I listened to her, I wouldn't have a baby in me right now."

"I did my best not to think of you all," Nanoka says. "I was dead if you all ever wanted to kill me, no need to worry about something I couldn't control. Made me feel better if I didn't worry about the beings that could just grab me and kill me. We're both pregnant now. I wouldn't mind some more rest, but it would be best to help you all get around."

"No need to force yourself," Kou says, coming in with a dress for me. "Sorry. I couldn't do much about a phoenix bursting through the halls."

"It's fine," I say. "I deserved it a bit."

Some priestesses come in to help Cisu and Tharzi. Kou moves quickly to dress me as well. Hopefully, the rest of the women are up already. We all should be the last ones to get up. I hope.

Kou leads most of us to the entrance. Eterna took my hand for the short trip, refusing to let go. My wives better not start fighting to hold my hand. My babies will need to have my hand when they start growing up, and they can't be fighting my wives for the spot! But it is nice.

Most of the women are here. "Where is Victoria?" I ask. I don't need her around, but I should make sure she's fine.

"Watching over your Aunt, love," Elora says.

"Has someone asked if she wants to go to the wedding?" I ask.

"I wasn't sure if that was what we were going to do," Elora says. "I can go ask her now."

"No," Kou says. "I'll ask. No need to have the ladies of the house running around while a maid is here."

"Thank you," I say.

"Thank you," Elora says. "Alzi, I have found out our child's name. She is the Goddess of Breastfeeding. Milk or lactation are other names for her currently. I don't know if a true Goddess of milk will also come. But yes. Thank you for blessing me with a child. I'm forever grateful for all you've done for me. I'm sorry for hurting you."

"It was to heal you," I say. "I'm thankful you sacrificed enough to give birth to a Goddess. We aren't truly even, but we can pretend we are and start fresh with a marriage."

"Thank you," Elora says. "I will still work to make us even. Is Zarzi going to make it to the wedding?"

"Zarzi says she has to stay here for the eggs," I say.

"Yes, she will be keeping the lava hot and providing them with mana to finish the growth," Tharzi says. "She won't be able to leave for a while. But her wives should be enough to handle the wedding. We can come back whenever it starts getting too late. I know you also need to handle things in other realms."

"My second body can handle some of those things, and my third can handle Zarzi for now," I say. "Just can't forget about her."

"Three bodies," Shimmer says. "That's a lot."

"I will keep track of that," Kou says, coming back with the warrior. "This is everyone. The wedding should be first. Then we can go to the castle. Have all the needed parties gathered?"

"Yes," I say. "This completes our contract, Elora. Shimmer, the deal with your mother is complete. You have more than four kids in your womb. I think most deals I've done are complete after this wedding."

"Then this way," Tharzi says. "It'll be a bit to have us all walk, I don't know if Nanoka knows the way to teleport us or if Eterna those that can't fly there."

"No," Eterna says.

Can she really not fly? I'm sure she sees it as below standing to fly others around; it could just be that. But she did mention something about flying. It'll be annoying if I take away her ability to fly every time I get her pregnant. Her pregnancy should be shorter than a year, unless she already knows about that, and it will still be a year. What would cause the long time?

"Then walking it is," Tharzi says. "Sorry, we don't have many carriages; the terrain doesn't make it easy to drive them."

"I can do it," Nanoka says. "Alzi or Tharzi or Cisu just need to show me where the temple is."

"I can do that," Cisu says. "Give us just a minute and we'll get there."

Glad I asked Nanoka to come. It would be a problem to have babies walking with us. Should I ask Elora and Shimmer to leave the kids behind? Shimmer doesn't look too comfortable here. She is practically melting into Geta right now. I guess her enemies surrounding her with a royal dragon in her arms would do that.

Kind of funny how that happened. "We can go outside," I say. "Save a few minutes." No need to fight them about the kids. They'll be fine.

Time to work through these options.

Life of the Ritual:

You've continued to be the star of rituals. Help them grow bigger and stronger than ever before. Helping more and more.Never Enough Hats: Your extra bodies are working hard to help everyone you love, but there never seems to be enough to go around. Continue to grow your reach and keep them all in your light.

Well, it seems they're putting the good ones first this time around.

War Healer: Continue to help those on the front lines stay strong and fight on. Heal the women who can kill scores in large groups yourself. Overwhelm the enemy.

Bringer of Life: Continue to bring about new life as you save the old...

Nope, tired of breeding classes. Nice try hiding, wrapping it up in that nice wording.

Sex...

Come on, how is Sex still sneaking in these classes? I guess kicking her out completely is asking for too much.

Sage of the Healers: The women would come into your space screaming, on the edge of death, and you worked through it. Worked through your past and did what needed to be done. Continue on the path of working in the hardest environment, working to be the best healer you could be.

I don't really think I'm anywhere ready to be called a Sage of Healers or something, but hey, I'll take it. Looks like I may have to choose between some classes this time around.

Family Empress: Your family is large and crosses many boundaries: nationality, Class, and even feelings. Control your house and steer it to the world.

Divine Mother: Nobody has brought this much life into the world before. Even the dragons haven't been this blessed. Help the kids as they grow. Showing them the right path to help the world.

A lot better than I thought based on the name. Almost makes me want to go back and see what the other two said.

Sex...

Well, that is that. I have enough classes that I like. No need to worry about the stupid ones. Do I focus on kids, wives, or being a healer? Mix?

The hat one is going to happen. The bodies are too nice to pass up. I hope for no more wars, so Sage Healer would be better. Then ritual or wives or kids? Ritual. I have more that are more important there. I don't care that much about my wives. But then my kids. So, healer, kids, or rituals. Can only have two.

Kids have to be picked by the Divine Mother. Divine can't be bad either. There has to be something to that word.

So, healer or the ritual? I'm doing well enough with healing. I shouldn't have anything massive coming up, so I shouldn't need my sex skills.

So, Life of the ritual, Never Enough Hats, and Divine Mother. Finally complete and Geta walks right in with Nanoka.

"There are a lot of people to move," Geta says. "Can you really handle this?"

"Yes," Nanoka says. "Worst case, I just make two trips. Not like teleporting takes a lot of time."

"When did that happen?" Geta says.

"You should explain things better," Nanoka sighs. "The Goddess of Dragon let my Goddess visit me, or something. So last night she made me a champion. Now, anything else, or can we go?"

I didn't even think about that. I really should've visited the Goddess of the Phoenixes and asked her for some things. Dragon and Kitsune are really helping me out during this war. Everything worked out, I guess. But I could've gotten more out of some of these goddesses. I really hate that it was just me who could negotiate with them. Sarania would've been helpful.

"Alzi?"

"Yes."

A much less frightening temple appears before us. Time to see how mad Love gets for me remarrying Elora.

Inside are a few priestesses staring at me. They wait till all my wives are inside to speak.

"Well," one says. "Need something?"

"You know why I'm here," I say. "I don't think I've ever surprised a priestess before."

"You have surprised us a few times," she says. "You know what is going to happen, right?"

"Why make things easy for me?" I grumble. "Just set it up. Nobody's being forced this time around. She should be happy this is happening."

"I suppose," the Priestess says. "This way. You and your wives are on the right. Left side put the rest unless you want a true ceremony."

"I'm good," I say. "I can do that when I get all my wives together later or something."

"Our Goddess would like that," the Priestess says.

It takes a bit to get everyone situated. Eterna wasn't happy that she had to let go of my hand. That was the main slowdown, besides who should be standing in the front. Eterna obviously took the spot, but Shimmer put up a surprising fight for the place. Elora almost snuck in during the fight, but holding a baby makes it hard to fight.

"I'll make this quick," the Priestess says. "I hope love actually finds this family this time around. Do you all love one another and promise to work together in your marriage?"

Of course, I don't get to answer the question. Someone else doesn't care to make this quick. At least I'm not in some courtroom for this meeting. A small office or something, with Love flaunting her tits behind a desk.

"All that fighting just to marry her again. I told you it could work out. But no, you just had to make a scene and get what you wanted."

"Yes," I say. "I'm now ready to marry her and the others. If you had actually conducted your ceremonies correctly, you wouldn't have had the divorce. Instead, it would be just one marriage to Elora. One where I'm happy to marry her like this one."

"Good luck," Love says.

"I may come by to talk later," I say. "See if you can give birth to Marriage or something. As it stands, you should work with Contract to handle Marriages together."

"I'll think about it," Love says. "Go be happy. And try to love all your wives."

"I'll think about it," I say.

"Yes," I hear from across me.

"Yes," I say. So many names added to my two lists. I wonder how much easier it is to use mana now for all my sexual partners. The list increased by more than just my wives. A number of maids have been added as well.

"What kind of fucking skills do you have!" Eterna asks. I guess mates didn't count for the skill yet.

"A bunch of stupid ones," I say.
