*Chiron – Palace*

When I awoke the next day both of the girls were already up and gone. I was feeling a lot better, sore but better, so I got out of bed slowly. I found my clothes in a neat pile on a table near the bed. I got dressed and made my way out of the room. The two guards standing at the door in the hallway saluted me when I came out, “Your majesty!” I laughed a little and waved at them, “Don’t call me that, I am not your King yet.” They looked at each other before speaking, “Sir, it is an order from her highness that we call you that.”

I sighed, “Okay, I will talk to her about it later. For now you can go back to your other duties I know my way around for the most part.” They saluted again, “Yes your majesty!” Before I could say anything they had already turned and started to walk away. I sighed and shook my head while muttering, “I really won’t like being called that, but it is probably something that has to be done.”

I shook my head and then proceeded down the corridor. I walked for a few minutes before I finally made it to the throne room. I looked inside and saw that Zellfina was entertaining some guests. I smiled a little at the site and walked over to one side of the room without anybody seeing me. I leaned up against the wall and just stood there listening to what everybody was saying.

I could hear Zellfina’s sweet voice talking to a guest, “Yes Mr. Zorn, it is true that I will be getting married again soon. I will be one of the wives to our new king.” Everything seemed like it was going good until she said the words “sister wife”, even I was confused. Who else am I marrying? Camellia? Sylvia? Dani?

I was wracking my brain trying to figure out which one it was going to be when I heard a comment from one of the guests that pissed me off. Even with my Immortal Power Rank I was barely able to hear it, “Why does the queen have to be on equal standing with another wife? She should be the only wife and the other slut should be a concubine at most.” I didn’t know which one would be the other wife, but it didn’t matter. Any of my women regardless of status or whether we are married or not will never be insulted freely while I am around.

I released a bit of my Aura and concentrated it on the guest who said the comment. He yelled out and immediately started to tremble and I could see his crotch start to become wet. I tried not to laugh, but the other guests around him started to giggle and mock him. No one knew that I had released my Aura and pretty much scared the piss out of him. I looked over at Zellfina and our eyes met, a flash of understanding passed through her eyes and she smiled at me. I put my finger to my mouth and she nodded her head. She looked as if she wanted to ask a question, but she kept quiet like I asked.

The guest that I scared ran out of the throne room after he apologized to Zellfina. People were trying not to laugh as he ran out, but some couldn’t help themselves. After a few minutes Zellfina got their attentions again and continued to entertain them. For almost thirty minutes everything was going fine and I was almost falling asleep leaning against the wall. There was a guest that asked another question. I looked up to see who was talking and it was Mr. Zorn again. Zellfina gave him the go ahead to ask and so he did, “Who is this man that you will be marrying your highness? We have only seen you with the human from the ball; surely it isn’t him is it?”

She glanced at me and then proceeded to answer his question, “Yes it is him. He will be my husband as well as our king.” There was a lot of murmuring and he asked another question, “Your highness, with all due respect shouldn’t our new king be a Draconian or somebody stronger than you at least? When we saw him he was pretty strong for a human, but you were still stronger than him.”

Zellfina was getting a little irritated, “Whether he is human or not is no concern as for his strength there isn’t anyone under our banner that he couldn’t beat.” I raised an eyebrow at this; you mean that in the Draconian Empire there isn’t anyone above the Immortal Rank? Now there are people above that in their territory, but they just don’t fly the empire’s banner I guess. I sighed and started listening to the group again.

Mr. Zorn was skeptical and snorted, “I find it hard to believe that he is stronger than you, who is an Immortal Magic Rank.” Zellfina didn’t miss a beat, “His Magic Rank may not be stronger than mine, but his is in the Immortal Power Rank.” There was more excited murmuring from the group this time and Mr. Zorn didn’t stop there, “So he is at the Immortal Power Rank, that doesn’t mean that he is stronger than anyone in the Empire. There are plenty of Immortal Power Ranks among your bodyguards.”

Zellfina smiled, “That is true, but how many of them are in the Immortal Power Rank and a Rank SSS in Magic as well?” There was a gasp from some of the group and Mr. Zorn turned a little white. They all knew how hard it was to work on both Power and Magic. They probably also know that once a human reached the Immortal Power Rank they would never reach the Immortal Magic Rank. What they didn’t know is that I was the exception.

Mr. Zorn didn’t say anything else, but another man did ask a question. He was a pudgy short man that slobbered a little when he talked, “Who is the other wife or wives of this human?” Zellfina just answered him mater-of-factly, “There will actually be three of us marrying him on the same day. One will be me, the next will be an Elf that he has known a while, and then the third will be my eldest daughter Camellia.”

There was some surprised looks among the group along with some pissed off looks. There were even murmurs along the lines of, “So the only way to be related to the royal family after that will be the youngest daughter?” and “The king will be marrying the princess as well? What blasphemy is this?” I could tell that the former were just worried about their own goals while the latter are actually worried about whatever gods they believe in will feel about this. Of course me and Camellia aren’t related by blood so I don’t see any problem with it.

Being a former Christian, before I started believing in only the things I could see, I could understand where they were coming from. Of course, if the bible was anything to go by I don’t know why God would see incest as a bad thing. Adam and Eve were supposedly the first humans and they reproduced, then their children had to reproduce with each other. So according to that alone, everybody on the planet of Earth where related in one way or another.

People seem quick to forget about this though and label incestuous couples as sinners. Hell back in the day, the Europeans and Asians were marrying cousins and shit to keep their lineage pure. I don’t believe in it in any way and I think that real incest it is disgusting, but everybody has a right to do what they want to do within the limitations of the laws of the world and whatever holy ones they believe in. In America I believe it is illegal in almost all of the states.

I sighed as I thought about how messed up the religions where back on earth, all of the books were written by men under the directions of a voice in their heads claiming to be a god. For all we know they could have had a disease that made them hear voices. That is enough about my views on religion and I should get back to the situation at hand. I came back to reality and a lot of the people in the group where getting agitated and Zellfina was hollering for order.

Unfortunately, the group couldn’t really hear her and so she was about to holler for the guards. I waved at her signaling for her to stop. She noticed it and slowly nodded her head after a minute. She sat back down on the throne and started to rub her temple. I could see her frustration so I didn’t hesitate anymore and I released my aura on the entire group.

They immediately clammed up and didn’t say shit, they all started to tremble and look around at each other. Some of them even started to piss themselves just like the man from before. I finally spoke, “That is enough.” When my voice fell they all looked at me and noticed the aura shining around my body. A few of them went white with fear while some of them had a small sneer on their faces.

I stopped leaning against the wall and made my way around the group to stand next to Zellfina. She smiled up at me and I bent down to give her a quick kiss. After I leaned back up I stared at the group and shut my aura off. Most of the group immediately sat down where they stood while a few of the stronger ones kept standing and staring at me. I smirked before speaking, “Most of you have been a little overbearing in front of the queen, while others have been downright insulting requiring me to make them leave. I thought those of nobility would be a bit more civil.”

They all remembered the man who left earlier and a flash of understanding shined briefly in their eyes. They just stared at me for a few minutes before Mr. Zorn spoke again, “What does a human know about civility? You all are always waging war on each other, raping, and killing whoever you please.” I was starting to wonder how the Draconians where allied with the Humans, but when remembering the Demons I could understand why they would be.

I looked directly at Mr. Zorn and spoke, “Just because of a few bad apples you automatically lump me in with those savages? Don’t tell me that you are naive enough to think that there are no Draconians who do the same thing?” I was starting to get a little irritated and Zellfina could tell, she grabbed my hand and held it, which actually calmed me down a bit. The group noticed this, but they didn’t say anything about it.

Mr. Zorn didn’t know what to say so he just kept his mouth shut, but I didn’t, “Under Zellfina and my reign there will be no discrimination between any race of the Universe. Those who break this law will face punishment regardless of their race or social standing.” I hate discrimination, for any reason, more than anything in existence.

We all bleed, we all die eventually, and we all end up in the same size hole in the ground. The only difference is the amount of money our families can spend on the decorations for our graves. I sighed and spoke again, “I believe that this meeting is over with for now.” Most people didn’t say anything, but there were a few people that did and being irritated already I yelled at them while releasing my aura, “I SAID LEAVE!”

Everyone quickly turned white and when I shut my aura off they all immediately turned to leave, under a guard escort, after bowing to Zellfina. I rubbed my temples and sighed deeply. I was grabbed around the waist from behind and pulled into a sitting position on Zellfina’s lap. I looked back at her and was greeted with a lovely smile, “Thanks for helping babe.” I smiled, “Don’t mention it; I feel that I will be present for a lot of these in the near future or dealing with them myself. Of course, when it is time for us to go on our adventures we won’t have to personally deal with a lot of issues. Speaking of, I need to find somebody that is capable to help Zendra when we all decide to take off for a bit.”

She didn’t say anything, but she did snuggle up to my back while I was sitting in her lap and nod her head. I smiled and just sat there for a while letting her hold me to her hearts content. It was at this time that Sylvia walked into the throne room. She saw us and tried to sneak out without us noticing, but I told her I already saw her. She smiled sheepishly and walked over to the throne, “Hello dears.”

I smiled and Zellfina and I said hello at the same time. I thought of something real quick and then asked her a question, “Where were you last night Slyv?” She blushed a bit while answering, “Well I was exploring the castle and the yard after we got her, but when I heard the news from a passing guard I rushed over. Though when I made it to your room Camellia stopped me outside and said you were fine. I was doubtful, but when I heard the noises coming from the room I was convinced.

I laughed a bit and then felt a sharp pain on my back, when I looked back I noticed that Zellfina had bitten me and was semi-glaring at me. This caused me to laugh some more because it was kind of cute. Normally she doesn’t get embarrassed, but it is cute to see that she does. Sylvia was looking at us with a little bit of longing and jealousy so I told her to come over. She did what I said and when she got to me I started to pet her head while she sat on the ground in front of the throne. I didn’t know if she would really like this, but her tail started to swish side to side quickly so I guess that she does.

After a little bit of bonding time with Sylvia we got up and left the throne room. Walking down the hall I had another question I had to ask Zina, “How come Sylvia isn’t part of the wives in the wedding?” Zellfina looked a little sad, but Sylvia answered before she could say anything, “It is because I am not a citizen of the empire yet.” I was a little confused, “Neither am I as far as I know.” Zellfina spoke up on that note, “Actually I made you a citizen after our first night together.”I looked at her for a second before speaking, “If it is that easy then why not do it for her?” She once again looked a little sad, “Well, the Church of Origin-D doesn’t recognize werewolves as beings of the same level as Draconians, Elves, Humans, and etc. Hell it took quite a while before they started treating even Elves and Humans nicely.”

I sighed again with a flaw religion that discriminates against someone because of their race. It’s bad enough when your religion says to love everyone and you discriminate against them because of their choices. When it isn’t their fault though is even worse than that though. It reminds me of the crusades when the armies of the church started killing people because god supposedly said they needed to die, yet GOD was the one who told them that they shall not kill.

Granted there are a lot of people that actually follow their religious teachings and even though people do things that are sins, they are not judged by them. They know that it is not their place to judge others for their religion teaches that they will be judged when their time comes. We have no right to judge others, because we could have easily been or may still be in their position at one point. Anyways back to the issue at hand again.

I shook my head and spoke again, “You are the queen can’t you do anything about it?” Zellfina got a sad look in her eyes and shook her head. I sighed and then turned to smile at Sylvia, “Don’t worry, you are already mine and I will make the church marry us eventually.” She smiled at this and nodded her head. I continued to smile at her, even though we really don’t need the churches approval or blessing, it will help the public’s opinion about her kind if they recognize her.

Thinking of that I spoke to her again, “By the way, no one tried to hurt you are talk bad about you did they?” Sylvia shook her head, “No, they were all real nice to me and treated me like a normal person.” I smiled at that. That is good, maybe it has something to do with the fact that she was with Zellfina and I. Of course, it could be that a lot of the draconian population aren’t as prejudice as the rest.

Putting the thought into the back of my mind I continued walking down the corridor with the two girls. As we were walking by the room Sylvia decided to stay there and after a quick kiss she went inside. I smiled at the view of her bushy tail swishing on top of her plump ass. I received a jab to the side from Zellfina who just started walking and was visibly trying to make her tail swish. I laughed and then caught up to her, giving her ass a good squeeze. She grinned at this and then tried to make a move on me, but I was too fast and moved out of the way.

She pouted a little, “No fair.” I smiled and then continued to walk while whistling a tune from earth. I was remembering a show where a little boy’s dad was a sheriff and the sheriff’s deputy was hilarious, but a little slow at times. It had a catchy whistle-tune for the intro, so it was something that I liked to whistle sometimes.

Zellfina caught up to me and just walked with me while listening to the tune. We arrived in the hangar, which was my chosen destination, and found Kiralee working on one of the MBSs. I looked yelled up to her, “Hey Kira! How is it coming!?” Kira stopped working and then popped her head out, “It is going well master. I have finally edited the operating system, like we talked about, for the rest of the MBSs and then made a master copy for any new ones we build later.”

I nodded my head and then thought of something cool, “Hey Kira, come here!” She stopped what she was doing and then jumped down, landing right in front of us. She saluted me, “You called master?” I nodded, “Yeah I had a cool idea for a weapon to add to my personal MBS.” She didn’t say anything so I took that as my cue to continue, “Okay, first I want you to make two giant light swords to be used by the mech. Then I want you to attach wings to the back of it that fire laser beams. They will mainly be for looks, but when I want to use them to attack something they will aim forward and shoot at what I lock onto.”

Kiralee was fake righting these things down, which was kind of funny, but her robotic personality was a little bit of a bummer. She saluted me again, “It will be done sir anything else?” I thought for a minute before speaking, “Yeah I want you to make those wings be detachable and able to fly around me firing in any direction, at any target instead of just bending forward.” She was erasing something on an invisible notepad and rewriting what I had just said which brought a laugh from Zellfina, before she saluted again and took off.

I thought about seeing if I could take a look at her programming and try and program a personality back in her at a later time. I have always wanted a daughter so maybe I can program her to act like one. Granted it will have to be somewhat mature in order to be of help in any situation. Having an A.I. that acts like a three year old will be no help whatsoever. I sighed and then walked out of the hangar with Zellfina.

We made it a little bit down the corridor before we ran into Zendra. She was followed by Violet and Drexella. I hadn’t seen them in a while so it was nice to see them. Something felt different to me so I used [Identify] on them and I was shocked to see that they had increased their ranks in the short time we were gone.

Drexella was at Magic Rank B and Violet was now at Magic Rank S. This was a great and I spoke up to congratulate them, “Congratulations on the advancement you two.” They both were shocked and then they blushed a little, “Thank you Sir/Master.” They spoke at the same time and the way they addressed me was different so it kind of sounded funny, but I didn’t laugh. I just smiled at them and then turned to Zendra.

She was still pretty and had an arrogant air around her, but it had mellowed down a lot since I saw her last. She looked at me and grinned, “Hey dad.” I was shocked for a second, what did she call me? It must have shone on my face, because she started laughing her ass off. After a few minutes of laughing she finally spoke again, “What would you rather me call you brother-in-law? Or maybe you want me to alternate between the two?”

I sighed before speaking, “Just call me Vitamor or fiend like you usually do.” Hearing this she got embarrassed, “About that I am sorry again about my attitude from before.” I smiled and rubbed her head, which she quickly slapped my hand away. I laughed and then spoke, “Don’t mention it. It is okay, you are still young and don’t understand many things.”

Hearing this Zellfina laughed a little and Zendra go a little irritated, “What do you mean I am young!? You are barely old enough to be considered an adult in the universe.” I smiled, Zellfina knew most of my story, but Zendra didn’t know shit. I just laughed and said some words before leaving, “I am older than you think I am. Of course I may not be older than you, but in maturity level you are like a grandchild to me.” Hearing this she was steaming from the ears again and I could hear her cursing at me as we walked off.

Zellfina and I were laughing for a minute or two after we walked off before she spoke, “Do you think we should tell her?” I thought about it for a minute or two, “If we need to we can, but not right now. The less she knows the better she is.” Zellfina nodded her head and didn’t bring it up again. We walked out of the palace and into the courtyard, there were people training all over the place and there were even some people lounging about having a good time. I smiled at the scene and then looked to the sky; I wonder how the ArchAngel is doing?
