Chapter 510 – Elora’s Thoughts
Chapter 510 – Elora’s Thoughts
Do I ask Elora about the other possible past right now?
Yes, I can check up on our growing baby as well. See if Elora thinks her praying has worked for the kid. The last view looked good, and the Goddesses all say it should work, but it won't hurt anything to check again. She is mine in this timeline.
"Kou," I say.
"Yes, My Empress," Kou asks. "Is there something you need?"
"Yes, I need to visit Elora for a bit," I say.
"Does this have something to do with the two newborns you have in your arms, My Empress?" Kou asks.
"Perhaps," I say. "Well, yes. I don't know why I'm being mysterious. Yes. Bring Sarania and Fyserreia. They have a new Aunt. I'm sure they will love that they get to be the ones to tease her about changing her diaper when she's small instead of the otherway around. They even get to tease their Mother about meeting the newborn first."
"I believe so, My Empress," Kou says. "And the other one?"
"I have some questions for Elora, and maybe Yumanea," I say.
"Perfect, My empress," Kou says. "They're both in this realm for a bit. One at a time or together?"
"One at a time would be best," I say.
"Well, I'll call Elora up, my Empress," Kou says, giving a little bow to let me know she did it. I don't get how the maids can communicate so quickly and easily. Why isn't this a widespread thing? Is it some skill for the maid class, or does having that status give you the skill? Kou just dodges the question whenever I ask her about it, and the Goddesses laugh about it.
I'll figure it out when I ascend.
Oh, I wonder if Elora is going to be coming in decent. If Elora hears that Sarania and Fyserreia are coming, she is going to get the wrong idea. The world was decent enough... I REMEMBER HER NOW! Bitch is messing with my brain. Past probably fixed that little issue for me. Anyway, I'm in my bedroom. The world was decent enough not to kidnap me while I was in the middle of something. Very nice of her.
"Hello?" Elora asks, stepping into my room. She's in a sundress and barefoot. Something my wives like to tease me about. I think it was Mai that started the barefoot pregnant wife thing.
"Thank you for coming quickly," I say. "I have an interesting new kid. One that gave me an interesting vision. Come on, join me. I'm not about to put more into you or anything. The succubi will be joining us, but nothing crazy will happen with kids in the bed. They have a new aunt and daughter. Our family tree is a mess."
"Most are," Elora says. "The number of loops in noble trees is a bit crazy. You have made it a lot worse. But there is a reason we don't go around showing everyone the royal family line."
"Well, enough about the weirdness of our families," I say. "This one, the Goddess, showed me an interesting vision. Can you guess what she showed me?" Why shouldn't I make her sweat a little? See if I can get something interesting out of her.
"Hmm, well, I don't have a guess as to what she would show you," Elora says. "I can guess that it has something to do with me, but that isn't a hard thing to predict. Would you like to run down what I did over the last week? Or would it be the future? Or possible a promise? I'm not sure. She looks just like Lactation did when she was a baby."
"I'm glad you're so open," I say. "Good, but it would be your past if she were showing me something that had happened. I guess possible pasts fall under her purview. It was an interesting scene, but I wonder how it could have happened. You see, just a few days after I was born, you picked me up. Not your Mother, you. Just you. Took Mommy and me somewhere. You said the capital, but later scenes showed it was somewhere else."
"Hmm, let's see. That's almost thirty years ago," Elora says, moving to join the cuddle in the bed. Her belly pushes into my side. "The most likely sequence would be Royalty told Mother about a champion. I, being greedy for the throne, you know, decide that it would be better for me to get the new champion. How I heard about it, I don't know. Mother wouldn't normally share things with me. But maybe I picked up something from the commotion of her greeting you in force, so I just ran out. I did bring your Mother, right?"
"Yes," I say. "You said it would be best if it were just me."
"Just getting greedy," Elora says. "Hoping to have a champion to myself. I probably convinced one of my supports to hide me in a manor once I got you. How did we end up?"
I give her a little kiss and pass Past over to her. Kou must be keeping Sarania and Fyserriae outside for now. "You took me to a brothel," I say.
"What do you mean?" Elora asks, her eyes going wide. Her lips tremble a bit as her eyes refuse to blink.
"I had Mai with me at the end," I chuckle. "You must have taken me to a brothel for one of my birthdays, and I managed to fall in love at first sight or something, which means I was quite young when you first took me if I were to get her before she died."
"Well, it was the thing to do, and you're Fertility's and Sex's champion," Elora sighs. "You had me thinking I gave up on you and sold you off. I. I didn't believe I could do that, but. Don't do that to a pregnant woman. You know how that hurts. How far did you see?"
"Pretty far, I think," I say. "But it would have to be the past."
"Were you happy?" Elora asks.
"I looked happy," I say. "You, me, and Mommy were pregnant. I had Mai. I don't have all the wives I do right now, I think, but I was happy. I don't know which timeline is better. I have a lot more women I love in this one, but all that abuse. I think I would choose that one. You must have done a lot more right in that timeline."
"Yes, it seems I did the right thing," Elora says. "I'm sorry I didn't hear about you till I was too stupid not to care. I should've grabbed you from the brothel immediately. I scared Ashryn into selling you. I could've done that earlier. I could've still saved you. I just didn't think about it."
"I brought you up to make sure you had a good reason to take me in this other timeline," I say. "Which it sounds like you would've. Unless Past is going to do something extreme, the past won't change. Thank you for being better now. How is the kid?" I already know she's healthy and a girl. I'm starting to keep track of that now. I'm hoping to catch a change in the frequency early. The numbers aren't quite even yet, but they're getting better. And more herms like me. I think Fertility wants some control over the genders, and this may be the only way to do it for her.
"Kitsune is certain," Elora says.
"Good," I say. "Good. Should I ask your Mother about this?"
"I don't think it matters," Elora says. "The queen is supposed to take any champion found and raise them to be the best they can be. She would've done a good job. Probably would end up similar to when I took you, just I wouldn't be in your harem. She would never let that happen."
"Very well," I say. "Do you have anything you need to talk about with me?"
"Can we stay like this for a bit?" Elora asks.
"Sure, Kou, can you bring the succubi in? I can feel my lust dropping. Not that much, but it is dropping so they're nearby," I say.
The sisters step in, one at a time; they're too big in the belly to even think about coming into the room at the same time.
"You did it," Sarania says.
"Come hold your Aunt," I say. "Then Elora wants to relax for a bit, and I think we can end the day with some fun."
"Happily," Fyserreia says.
*** Alzi, fifth body ***
I dance up to Yuki's room. I find it empty inside, so I check next door, where I find Yuki and Nakuma. Nakuma isn't pregnant this time around, but soon I'll get her in bed. I need to see how she behaves when she knows she's pregnant.
I'm sure my problem was that she wasn't awake when she got pregnant. Somewhere in her mind, that let her pretend only Yuki was pregnant.
Well, what I really want to do is get her, Nanoka, Kou, and Yuki heavily pregnant and stuck in my bed. But Nakuma likes test so I'll say it's a test, and mention that she'll be stuck with Yuki. That will get her to stay in my bed willingly. Then I have to work on Kou. But that isn't what I care about right now.
Right now, I'm going to tell Yuki I'm offering her services to the opera house in the city. I want to go on a date with Nanoka, and well, why not have Yuki provide some entertainment?
Yuki does get some breaks from Nakuma now when they have to help take care of the kids, but Kiyomi has sent us plenty of maids to help with the kitsune kids. Right now, well.
"Nakuma, please, stop," Yuki says, swatting away an orange tail.
"No, I have to ease your muscles," Nakuma says. "This is important."
"Hello," I say.
"Oh, Alzi," Yuki says, her eyes lighting up. "Please. I'm sorry. I love you. I love you. I love you. Please. I'm sorry. I'm an idiot. I love you. Please."
"Sorry, Yuki," I say. "But nothing has really changed. But I heard there is an opera house you used to perform in. How about it?"
"Yes," Yuki says. "I'll do it. Will you be watching?"
"Yes, I was going to drag Nanoka out for a bit. See how flustered I can get her."
"Oh, you think you'll fluster me?" Nanoka says. "I'm used to this now. I'll handle the date well."
"Oh, I think you'll do fine for most of the date, but at the end," I tease.
"I can handle that as well," Nanoka says. "Well, I won't be a schoolgirl, but you will last longer than I."
"Good enough," I say. "You probably won't get pregnant. I have a plan for later. Well, that is all. Yuki, good luck."
