Life as a Royal’s Breeding Partner

Chapter 466 – Getting Dressed as a Rock

*** Alzi ***

I'm under a pile of women this morning again. Most of my wives probably. Eterna sneaks in a spot nearby as always.

"Good, you're up, My Empress," Kou says. "Shyla's got your dress ready and Aurora the makeup. Just need to get your wives up, and we can get this day started. It's a big day; it will officially make you an empress. Then we just have to figure out what Shimmer needs to take her throne and expand your territory. I know things you care little about. I think you'll enjoy the day anyway. Up, girls!"

Does she just make me think I'm waking up on my own? I can't always be waking up at the right time for her. Or does she just make it seem that I'm always waking up at the right time? Godess, maids are tricky, or maybe just the Kitsune maids?

"Can't I just get the crown in bed?" I ask.

"You wouldn't be happy with that, My Empress," Kou says. "Trust me. You won't like it all, but you'll like enough of it, and it requires the ceremony for it to work. Besides, the people should celebrate you. Now, there we go, my Ladies. Thank you. I know my Empress is comfortable, but we all have a big day. The maids will take you all to get dressed as well. Don't dally, it would be embarrassing if you can't get ready before my Empress. However, you could stay behind, Lady Elyne, if you wish. To make up for last night. Thank you for that."

"I'll let her dress in peace," Elyne says. "I'm hardly pregnant. I can't be too needy at the start. I'll have to fight Eterna for my spot closer to Alzi when I start to show."

"Good luck with that, Lady Elyne," Kou says.

Some of Azula's wives snuck into the bed. They're the first to get up, as they are smart enough to stay on the outside of the cuddle pile. Next is Elora's wives, before getting to my wives. I need a better distinction for Mommy, Mai, Akhae, Ilka, and Kelly. Everyone in the bed is my wife. Mommy's wives? That works. Mommy gets to be the head of that group. I'm sure they'll agree to have her represent them.

Of course, Eterna is right in that group as well, fighting Mai for space, curling up along my massive belly. Silly girls.

"This is quite the morning routine," Kou says. "I may need to find a grouping to put some of your wives with the other bodies if something requires your immediate attention in the morning. Or get Nakuma or Nanoka to teleport you out of the pile. I'll work on it, my Empress. Shyla! Aliz is mostly free of wives."

"Good!" comes muffled from the closet. Mommy, Mai, and Eterna are the only ones who stayed behind. I doubt Eterna is going to the ceremony at all. I need to make sure Mommy and Mai get good dresses for the ceremony. The people need to see how beautiful they are. "Alright," Shyla says, coming out to greet me. "Been a while since I've asked you to step into the closet. Ready? I think you'll like it. Has a mix of everything you've asked from me before. Except for the suit things. Not about to try and combine those together unless you ask me to try again. Then, Lady Armirynth and Mai, you should have dresses for yourselves. I can ask the maids to bring them here if you would like to get dressed alongside Queen Alzi."

"That's a good idea," I say. "I can't wait to see what they look like."

"Then just give us a few moments, and your dresses will be right here," Shyla says. "Your Royal Highness, if you could follow me, please? You have the most to do."

"Go get dressed, beautiful," Mommy says. "Can't wait to see what Shyla puts you in today."

"I'm going, I'm going," I say. Kou helps me out of bed. I really am getting big. How much will change when the belly disappears? It should all be good. Just can't get lost in it all.

Inside the closet is a floating dress. It's long, it has to reach down to my mid-calf at least. A fiery red with plenty of gold mixed in. Rubies sewn in like they're just normal pebbles. There must be a few pounds of rubies on the dress. I can't exactly see how it will look on me, but the amount of fabric makes it clear I won't be showing much skin.

"I want you to feel sexy in the dress," Shyla says. "But it is to show how you'll be leading. So I had to keep your kids in mind, how you wish to raise them. So, it should cover your skin. You don't need to hide that beautiful body; just make it appropriate to play with kids. Something you could walk around town and have everyone admire, then go right into the nursery or backyard and spend time with your kids. How does it look? Anything you're worried about? I factored in some tailoring time just in case. Anything you're worried about, just tell me, and I'll fix it."

"It looks fine," I say. "For the looking appropriate part. It looks beautiful. We can see if there are any problems when I put it on."

"Perfect!" Shyla says. "Kou, if you could help strip our Royal Highness. I have a few things to undo on the dress before we can get it onto her."

"Of course," Kou says. "My Empress. Let me."

My robe drops quickly as Shyla moves around the shining dress. Kou's tails swarm me as her hands comb through my hair. "Let me clean you up a bit. With all that heat around you, some sweat is bound to come up." I feel some underwear slide up my thighs. How they got to my thighs, I'm not sure. I hope they don't disappear that easily as well.

"Thank you," I say.

"Don't mention it, my Empress," Kou says. "Just a few more seconds and we'll both be ready to put the dress on you. There. Shyla, just let me know if you need help."

"I should have it," Shyla says. "If you could raise your arms, please, your Royal Highness. Need to get the sleeves lined up right."

I raise my arms, and the mass of silk comes down over my body. The rubies clink a bit as Shyla works the silk past my breasts and belly. I should've offered to shrink my tits a bit to make it easier. I have a lot of things sticking out in my midsection, belly, tits, wings, and a tail.

"There we go," Shyla says. "That's got it mostly fit. The new tail makes things a bit more complicated. Kou, if you could bring the mirror around. Don't start judging too much, your Royal Highness. I have some fitting to do first, then we can see if you wish for anything to change."

"Ok," I say. A full set of mirrors slides out in front of me. Shyla's mainly working behind me, so I get a good view of my front and sides, and I like it. My tits aren't out for everyone to see. Nobody is going to be calling them small, but it will take some work to get them out of the dress. Many dresses in the past would've just needed me to jump hard enough.

The dress shows the shape of my body, which is that of a tall, heavily pregnant woman, so not the sexiest I can be, but I love the look. Any wife daring to walk the halls like this would risk more kids moving into her womb. My legs have plenty of room to move, and the skirt does make it to about mid-calf. I could run in the dress easily if I need to.

With my rainbow lights reflecting off all the rubies, I almost look on fire.

"I like it," I say. "Perfect mix of my last two wishes. Thank you."

"I'm glad to hear that, your Royal Highness," Shyla says. "I have three sets of heels for you to choose from and some flats if you want to skip the heels. I can give you quarter-inch lifts as well if you want your passive to come into play, but still have the ease of flats."

"I can do some heels," I say. "This pregnancy really is just dealing with the mass in front of me. I feel none of the normal pain or discomfort."

"That's good, your Royal Highness," Shyla says. "The women in the crowd will be in awe if you come out in heels this pregnant. You'll be setting up a great impression for them all. We'll have to have your wives in flats, so they know pregnant women won't be expected to be in heels. Don't need to risk the babies with the nobles all thinking they now have to be in heels while pregnant."

"Nobles pick up the stupidest things to get caught up on," I say.

"They all wish to be seen in a good light to the powerful," Shyla says. "Sometimes that requires doing stupid things. Elora and Yumanea can work on a good royal decree to make sure the nobles don't copy you too much. That should have the dress on correctly now. Get the rest of the mirrors out as I get the shoes and jewelry."

"Did you get a skill to do my hair?" I ask. I was too busy looking at the dress to see my hair go up! I have a braided crown, a ponytail, and loops all over the place. Someone studied my hair after Mommy did it the first time. A little bit of everything it feels like going on in my hair.

"I have one, My Empress," Kou says. "Sorry, but with your Mother so busy, I took over. Please pick the small heels, my Empress. You don't need to torture yourself with anything over two inches."

"Two is fine," I say. The heels Shyla brings out are just solid rubies. Did they have bigger heels made of ruby? Or did the sizes have really different styles? I should've had Shyla bring them all out. "Did the dragons give you the shoes?"

"Yes," Shyla says. "I have a lot of years to go before I can make comfortable shoes out of gems if I'm ever able to do that. Now, jewelry! You aren't sparkling enough."

...

Three sets of earrings requiring two new sets of holes to be put in my ears, a half dozen pieces put in my crazy hair, two necklaces, a ring for every finger, and two bracelets on each arm. I'm practically a walking rock at this point! Everything shines. It's so much.

"Isn't this too much? This is all gold and silver, rubies, and diamonds, and worth so much," I say.

"You're ruling over two Queendoms, My Empress," Kou says. "How could you not have this much. You look perfect. Trust me, the room will be jealous, and your kids will love it. We can take you to the nursery before we have Nanoka teleport you around. We can have your kids decide how much is too much."

"Ok," I say.

"Great, now for makeup," Shyla says. "And time to see Lady Armirynth and Lady Mai."

Something to get excited over. Aurora better not be about to put on a bunch of makeup, or I may have to find out if I can remove concubines.

"Rainbow! You are stunning!" Mai says before I can find her in the room. "How did you find that much gold even?"

"That is what I said, but they said this much is just expected for me to have," I say. They're directly to my left. Mai has makeup on even. Aurora is finishing up with Mommy. Both are in red dresses themselves. But the secondary color is black instead of gold. "You look beautiful as well, Mai. Tonight is going to be a difficult night for the family if everyone looks even half as beautiful as you and Mommy."

"The problem won't be tonight," Mai says. "It'll be a few months before the babies come."

"Or maybe it'll just be you giving me kids," I tease.

"Oh, I'm bringing a few women down with me," Mai says. "Come trade places. We need to see if Aurora can make you look better than a Goddess somehow. Shyla, this dress is just perfect."

"Thank you, Lady Mai," Shyla says. "You look lovely in your dress. I'm excited to see how this family looks when they all get together in their dresses."
