Life as a Royal’s Breeding Partner

Chapter 502 – Desperate Healer

*** Alzi, Third body ***

"Elo, are you sure you don't want to move?" I ask.

She's living in the throne room now. I feel bad about how I've had to ignore Zarzi so I can keep Elo alive and somewhat comfort. She's as round as Zarzi was at the end of her pregnancy. I hate seeing her blood just ooze out of her skin.

Zarzi has stated she wants to do it again in a few years. Only fifty kids this time, but I doubt the lower count will do much for the size they get to.

Is Yzzorres also running into any problems?

Who cares about her? She hasn't made any attempt to talk to me. I've even asked Dragon if she could tell Yzzorres to give me some sign that she's ok, but nothing comes from it.

I could fly out to her, but I don't know where her cave is, and I don't care to ask Eterna or someone to show me the way. If she cared, she would give me a good way to meet her. I'll just keep asking Dragon if she's gone into labor.

"Yes," Elo says. "I have a few days before I go into labor. I can have court today and then give everyone a break for a few days. I've got what I need. Many Queens have died in this room doing this very thing. They all held court till they felt the eggs shift. I may not join them this time, but I will follow them the best I can this time."

"Ok," I say.

"Thank you for helping me," Elo says. "That is a comfort most aren't afforded. I don't know if I'm worthy of it."

"Quiet," I say. "You're my wife, and you're fixing a problem you caused. It's nice being close to so many kids. Helping you is fine. Now, eat. I know it's hard."

An empress probably shouldn't be doing this work, but Dragon told me no healer will take this job due to some of her old edicts, and this body can do just enough healing that Elo will have the strength needed to survive her labor as long as my main body gets here for it.

Which is seeming more and more like an if.

*** Main Body ***

"Eterna!" I shout

"Ten more minutes," Eterna says. How she manages to hold me this tight while pregnant, I don't understand. Her belly should give me plenty of room or leverage to pull away, but I can never get out of her grasp. I could have Nakuma or Nanoka get me out, but then Eterna is running around the house till she clings onto me again.

"You said that an hour ago and every ten minutes after that," I say. "I have things to do. I'm sorry. But you can't keep me locked up like this. Take one of my other bodies or something. I need to see others with this one, and I'm not inviting them to my bedroom. We've been over this. I'm happy to have you join us if you want, but I need to be able to move around."

"But it feels better to have this body," Eterna says.

"Please?" I ask. "I have to check on Nanoka and Nakuma. They're close to giving birth as well. Then I have a few women I need to heal at the clinic and a horde of already born children that deserve my attention. Come on. Be nice to the rest of your family. They're going to be important to raising your kids with everyone. And you have to think about getting more kids in the future. If I'm going to be stuck in bed for a week, then I can't do that. Please? How about you sleep in the nursery?"

"Can I have you all tomorrow? I think I have two days," Eterna says. "Please?"

"Ok," I say. "But if Nanoka or Nakuma goes into labor, I have to help them. They'll come here, but I need enough freedom to move around."

"Fine," Eterna says. "I love you."

"I love you too," I say.

I have thought of just having sex with her. That would solve the problem by knocking her out in a few minutes, but then I'm just back to the problem of her running around to find me when she wakes up.

I feel her grip loosen, and I give her a big hug before Shyla starts helping me change. Rosemary insisted on us having matching uniforms, and she picked out the design with Shyla. I had to make a few changes to the undergarments to get more out of some of my skills, but you can't see the difference unless someone comes in about to die. Then, well, someone is adding to the pile of new kids.

Which is another problem. Azula's wives have all given birth a few times at this point, expanding my test on multiple pregnancies at once. I got them pregnant a few different days in the last war, and it seems the kids bunched up themselves. They were not happy about that, but whatever, they're getting more than they deserve. That entire branch of the family is getting more out of this than they should.

To pay me back for it, they're all on duty at the clinic. If I somehow get low on mana, well, they can expect to provide the family with plenty more kids in a few months.

"Oh," I say. "You've come to me."

"Yes," Nanoka says. "I saw you got dressed, and I wanted to make it quick with the late start to the day."

I don't know if Nanoka has gotten lazy at the end of her pregnancy, which is honestly fair, or if she's decided that means she's still young and rebellious. I don't think I've seen her walk in the past two weeks, and she's always in some nightgown. This one is even a little risky. Guess you can do that when you can teleport around and run when someone is coming that shouldn't see you like that.

"I have to get back to Yuki and her kids," Nakuma says. "Make this quick."

"It's just a checkup," I say. "Kelly does the real thing." Yes, I made up a routine just to be around my pregnant wives. Benefits of being an Empress and a demigoddess and having a harem of beautiful women. Of course, I only need to make up an excuse to have my wives near me because I'm an Empress and I have a enormous number of kids that need my attention and a healing clinic I want to spend some time in, but Mommy tells me not to focus on why I'm busy and be happy I have so many wonderful things to keep me busy. "Just relax and enjoy the time. Yuki would be mad at you if you didn't have a bunch of healthy kids."

I just give them both a kiss for much longer than I need to, checking over the Goddess window to make sure nothing terrible is there. Ease some backpain, aches, and whatnot, then let the idiot Nakuma go back to handling Yuki and her kids.

"I don't get how she does that," Nanoka says. "I barely feel up to rolling over, and she acts like she isn't even pregnant. If I couldn't see her belly, I wouldn't even think she stubbed her toe."

"She is a weird one," I say. "But that's a problem for Yuki right now. As long as the kids come out healthy and she doesn't ignore them, I don't care."

"Yzzorres," Nanoka says.

"I know," I say.

"That bitch is going to try and steal you," Eterna says. "I know it. If she does..."

"She won't," I say. "She's smarter than that." She isn't, but I can't get into that with Eterna. She'll use it as a reason for her to steal me from everyone instead.

I bet a number of women have had the chance to get these true beings pregnant, and they all got a chance to know what happened at the end of the pregnancy, and went running.

Luckily for the true beings, I've already mated them.

"She will," Eterna says.

"Geta will help me," I say. "She's not even pregnant anymore." But she is obsessed with the kids. I think she's worried they'll die or something. They all came out as death elementals and have to have their own room till they can control their mana. Even Inanos has to be careful around them, but that's likely because she's tired from her kids.

Basically, everyone is pregnant or recovery from a pregnancy.

Kou is working on a schedule for everyone. I just have to find the discipline to stick to it.

"Everything is fine," I say. "If you get dressed..."

"I'm getting dressed, but I'm going to steal your nursery bed," Nanoka says. "I want to watch the kids with my eyes for a bit. Eterna, please join me."

"I've got nothing else to do," Eterna sighs.

"Go up to the clinic, dear," Nanoka says.

"I'm going..." I start to say. Guess that was all she needed to send me away.

"Oh, good, you're here," Rosemary says. "So, I have a serious problem. An adventurer came in and didn't mention they were poisoned. Some idiot like Victoria that likes to run off by themself. I've tried getting rid of it, but I can't. I don't know why, and my skills just keep failing and..."

"You want to get pregnant," I say.

"NO! I want to live," Rosemary says. "If I wanted to get pregnant, I would say, 'Alzi, dear, may we spend a night in bed and make a child?' Or something like that. You can heal me without getting me pregnant."

"We'll see," I say. "But I don't think I have ever seen you make this mistake before, or have you ever..."

"Alzi, please," Rosemary says.

She is looking a bit pale. Lotus is too scared to ask for more kids, but I know she wants them. Yumanea is too afraid to face me, and Nesh is keeping Yumanea company, probably trying to keep Yumanea from killing herself or something. She is not doing well.

I should force that pair into the bed at night. Just sleeping with Syro will help Yumanea. But that is another person I just don't care enough about to do something about it.

Now, on Rosemary, I don't think I've seen her want to do anything but heal women. She doesn't even help women give birth unless she has to. She sends them to Kelly or me immediately. Even taking over in the middle of me treating someone so that I can handle the mother-to-be.

"Then we'll try healing this without you getting pregnant," I say.

"Fine, I want to get pregnant," Rosemary says. "I have no kids, and I want one now. Ok. I want a kid. I can heal this. I poisoned myself. Ok. I'm stupid. Just bend me over and fuck me, and I don't know how to do this. This is why I just wanted you to do it, but you don't even..."

"Quiet," I say. "We have a bed in the back." Sorry, Kou, I know you said no new pregnancies till you make the schedule, but I can't turn down such a funny and desperate request.

"Of course," Rosemary says. Her face immediately gets its color back as she heals herself. Rosemary is a bit more plump than my other wives. Her dirty blonde hair is always in a messy bun; we'll see how messy the bun is later. I think she started as some village's healer and, through sheer commitment, managed to complete enough classes to become a noble.

If I saw her come out of some wood house yelling at some kid about herbs they've collected for her, I wouldn't bat an eye, if you ignore the uniforms.

I stop her before she can walk too far, pulling the shorter woman into my body. Her head is getting squished between my tits. "You're sleeping with all the wives tonight, then," I say. "That's the deal."

"But I have work to..."

"You're going to be pregnant," I say. "I doubt you'll be like Nakuma. You'll have to get more sleep, and I'll have Kou enforce it if I have to. Now, let's go see what the Royal Healer looks like without her uniform on."

"Yes, dear," Rosemary says.

...

Really fucking beautiful, and she doesn't have a bun anymore.

"Oh, fuck, dear, Alzi, I, right there!" Rosemary screams. "Oh, yes, yes, yes. Ohhh fuck it's been too long. Oh, you're, you're making me!"

Her hair is in my left hand, my right holding her waist as I ram my cock into the healer. Her ass is giving the prettiest little jiggle each time pushed in.

"You're so fucking pretty," I huff out. "How many?"

"Kids," Rosemary says. "Kids."

My cock doesn't have the patience to ask again, so I let loose and throw some mana at her womb. What happens will happen. She should've answered better if she doesn't like the outcome.

Rosemary slumps against the bed, her chest heaving as my cock slides out. A few sprays of cum land on her pretty ass as I watch a number of eggs float down to meet their attackers. So brave.

"So you've had someone you loved," I say.

"Yes," Rosemary says. "Yes, I. I did. Sorry. You make me so sensitive that my breathing is moving my breasts around, and I feel like I'm going to climax off just that! But, yes. Back in my village was the only time I felt love. Everything after that was just me trying to bring the dead back somehow."

"Sorry to hear that," I say. "I didn't mean to."

"No, I should tell my wife, who just got me heavily pregnant. I know I said kids, but this may be a few too many," Rosemary says. "I'm not going to be able to stand later in the pregnancy. I'm the oldest of Rosemary's wives."

"You're the strongest of them," I say. "I think. I need to sleep with Yumanea again to confirm it, but I'm pretty sure."

"Doesn't change that I'm older than them all," Rosemary says. "Thank you. Thank you for giving me the kids. I'll manage. Does your bed have room for me?"

"Anytime," I say. "Just know Eterna is a bit of a bully, so getting a spot close to me is difficult."

"Haha, I'm good with the end," Rosemary says. "Oh, your aura. Forgot about that. I see. How about we handle everything together today? I don't really love you, but I want to try. I think he would want me to do that."

"That sounds lovely," I say.

...

If only I could wake up with all my wives. "Yzzorres," I say. "Put me back."
