….
….. Ow! My head hurts! I don't want to wake up. And it's hard to breathe! What's this soft thing in my face? I grab it and push, but something wraps around me.
“Mmmmm!Mhhmmm!” Somehow I am able fight myself free. But a naked Celes doesn't let go while she is entangled around me. “Body pillow.. don't move....” She is talking in her sleep.
Hah? How did I get here? Is this Celes's room? A that's right! Yesterday was that had horrible marriage! And then... and then... Damn it! I've been had!
Ah, though if I remember right the night wasn't bad at all. “Celes let me go. We have to get up.” I twist her earlobe to wake her up.
“Mh.. don't wanna. Let us sleep for the rest of the day....” She mumbles half asleep. I take a look at the clock. Ugh! It's already 7 pm! Whatever she put into that chocolate, it knocked us out for a whole day!
I grumble, but then I have a great idea. “Teleport!” We reappear in the air above a certain lake. I brace myself for the impact!
*SPLASH!*
“KYAAA! Gurrrgle....”
Woohoo! Cold! I start swimming as soon as I am freed from my shackles and start laughing. “What was that for!?” Celes glares at me.
“That was for drugging me.” I glare at Celes. “You want to eat that chocolate again tonight?” She grins at me. “No way in hell! I would rather start buying chocolate by myself!” I hate it to loose control over myself.
“Good luck with that. You won't have much success with it.” She swims closer and grabs my hand with a triumphant smile.
“Why?”
“Because I am the only one in this world who knows how to make that special chocolate.”
“...”
I guess this world isn't a chocolate paradise. It's true that I never came across any chocolate until Celes started to give it to me. And apparently everything was handmade.... I wince at the thought.
“Can you teleport us back into my bathroom. I wouldn't like to get my bed wet.” She smiles at me. I am glad that this water is cold like hell.
I pull her closer and teleport us back. Though I missed the bathtub. I guess a little water on the floor isn't a problem since the whole room is tiled.
Celes walks a bit awkward to the basin and takes her ring out of a small box. “Heal!” She immediately casts healing onto herself. “Ahhh.. That feels much better!” Then she throws an accusing look at me. “I thought I wouldn't live through the night. Couldn't you have been a little gentler?”

“Who drugged me with something that would turn the coldest guy into a wild beast.” I raise an eyebrow and Celes puffs up her cheeks.
“At least the drug seems to work on girls too. I have to talk to Tanja about this...” I leave Celes to talking to herself and get dressed.
A few minutes later I am sitting in the kitchen, where I plunder the leftovers from the buffet. Rose is giving me a dirty smile.
I choose to ignore it, but a few minutes later Celes joins us and Rose can't hold back her curiosity. “How was the night?”
“Enslavement!” “Pain!”
Rose is taken aback but not defeated. “Oh, I heard that the first time can be rough in some cases. But I am sure it will get better if you keep the ball up in the air!”
She nods and smiles, while she gives another plate of leftovers to Celes. After a few minutes of silent eating, she snatches the fork, which Celes had put down.
A small stick-like magic-device appears in her hand and she presses it against the fork. “kukuku...” Then she storms outside, while yelling. “The family just got bigger!”
I almost choke on a small fruit when I hear that and Celes has a predatory grin on her face, while she looks at me.
“Pregnancy test?” I ask and Celes nods at me. Haah. I give up. It's fate. The door opens and the whole family storms inside to congratulate us.
Somehow I am a little confused. Why is everyone on cloud nine because of this? This isn't a miracle? That's what happens when you bed a girl without protection!
But after a little explanation about this worlds crazy biology I understand their happiness. Apparently the royal bloodline isn't blessed with many children. I guess there has to be some kind of drawback for having the benefits of superhuman strength and a greater mana pool.
Mother and father had tried to get children for at least two years, until my dead siblings were born. When they died, mother had almost given up on a child. It almost never happened in recorded history that a queen would have children twice.
So mother treated me like a present from heaven when she got me. I guess she wasn't so far off....
But Celes seems to be a bit down. Apparently she hadn't heard about this particular blood-trait of ours until now.
“B.. But I wanted to have at least three childreeen...” She starts to cry and hugs me. OMG! What to do? I pat her head and try to console her while Ireth and Katrine look at her with a sympathic expression. “D..Don't worry. It worked for you on the first try. So either you just won the lottery, or your stupid chocolate had a strange side effect.”

She goes stiff and suddenly starts to laugh. “I AM SO STUPID! This world has such amazing healers. I got overtaken in the believe that they are much better than me. But if I think about it, each of their achievements is accomplished through magic. They have no idea how the body really works at all. There wasn't a basic class like biology too.”
“I guess it's pretty useless to research scientific biology for every human species on this world. There are hundreds of different bloodlines. Not to mention the mixed breeds.” I talk to myself. Everyone, who started to work in that direction would be dead before he could accomplish anything of value for the world.
So only finding out why the speed-type muscles of the people with the elf-trait worked, wouldn't be of much interest to anyone else.
“Angrod, you can build me the equipment to start biology research?” Celes eyes sparkle at me. “Uhm, I guess? If you tell me what you need for biology research? I am a techno-freak, I have almost no clue about medicine and biology besides magical applications?”
“First I need a really good microscope! Then incubation ovens, temperature baths, centrifuges, spectrophotometres, PCR instrumentation, high resolution imaging devices, electrophoresis systems, micropulser electroporators and something for chromatography would be a good start!” -Celes
My eyes become rounder and rounder as the list grows. “Could... Could it be you were some kind of doctor in a previous life?”
Celes takes a proud stance. “Hear me unworthy! Before you stands someone with hundreds degrees in biology, medicine and molecular science.”
Huh!? Could I be that my wife is actually pretty smart!? I mean, I knew that she IS smart, but she is smarter than I thought? Why did she never tell?
I get grabbed by the hand. “To your laboratory! Now! I have to explain the devices I need from you. I am sure you wouldn't be able to fulfil my needs otherwise.”
“Uh!? Sure?” I teleport us and start to listen to Celes's explanation. I am sure that my automatic factory can produce everything she wants to have.
But I am still a little bothered. It feels more like she is going to start a cloning farm than a research lab. And at the end of the day her personal lab looks like a high danger bio-hazard research lab out of a movie!
I hope I didn't destroy the world by giving her those toys.
The next day I am lying in my bed and think about the current situation of my life. If I am honest to myself.... it could be worse? And I am actually a little mad that there is still that affair with Tjenemit looming over us like the sword of Damocles.
Suddenly the door flies open, Celes storms inside and slams it shut. *Klick* She locked it! I have given up to lock my room long ago. She would take down the whole palace, while kicking the door.
She hops onto the bed. In her hand is a piece of chocolate. “Eat that!”
“No? I won't eat suspicious food you are giving me any more?” Last time I almost had a heart attack because of you!
“It took me the whole day to analyse my body and I found no problem. So the problem must lie at the male side of our bloodline!” She grabs my jaw and forces it open. In terms of strength she is still above me.
Then she shoves the chocolate into my mouth.
“Mmm!” She force feeds the stuff to me. “What was that?” I ask as soon as I get some air again. A needle appears in her hand. *Stab* “Ow!”.
“That was just a little stimulant to get your body to produce some needed pheromones. I took some blood samples from Arthur and Nicosar, so I think that if I get your body to produce the right pheromones everything is okay.” She takes a blood sample.
“I am not some lab-rat!” -Me
“But you are the one who gave me the idea! If I find the problem we could have a whole bunch of kids!” She nods at me. “I was a little afraid that you wouldn't be willing to do your duty. You know... hermit and all. But when you did this and that to me, I realized that you didn't loose your touch!”
“Is that so?” I grab her hand and take the needle and the tube with blood.
“But I think it's not so bad if you have to do a little work for children. If you put so much effort into it, we will have to take care of a whole football-team.” I kiss her.
I guess I will take everything while the food is still hot.
