“I can’t believe what happened…” Van said, mumbling to himself while looking at an assortment of foods laid out on the tables for the celebration. At the least, they took into consideration that not everyone could shrink down to their size, and so the people and wedding guests, alongside the food were of the appropriate size for someone like him.

“Aww… why are you looking so down? You had a wonderful wedding!” Luna all of a sudden said next to him, making him whirl around.

“Luna!? What are you doing here?” he asked, completely taken by surprise.

“I was invited silly. Received the wedding invitation and everything!” Luna said happily. “Anyway, congratulations!” acting like this didn’t concern her one bit.

Which Van supposed in a way it didn’t. “Umm thanks… I’m…” he then noticed the former empress talking to a few people and then leaving towards a private balcony. “I’m going to look for the bathroom… be right back.” and left towards where he saw the former empress leave to ask her a few questions.

“Huh… he must really have to go…” was all Luna said as she watched Van quickly rush away. “Oh well…” she shrugged, then started pigging out on the buffet.

Van ignored some of the people calling out to him and pushed aside the curtains that lead out onto the private balcony where Zartashia was leaning over the railing, looking over her city. Practically naked except for her blue see-through gown she always wore.

“So you’ve come…” she said without bothering to look back. “I bet you are wondering why I did what I did, or for that matter who I am… right?” now looking over her shoulder at him.

“You… Why did you do it? And what do you mean who you are?” Van asked, now wondering what was going on, feeling a little lost now.

“I did it because I was tired of being the empress… all I wanted was to continue being a scientist and mother… there was nothing more than that that I wanted,” she said.

“A mother? How many children do you have?” Van asked, wondering about the mother bit and what that had to do with anything.

“I think fifteen now?” Zartashia answered. Making Van’s eyes go wide. “But I could go for a sixteenth…” now sticking her ass out. “If you want…”

“And why would I want that?” Van asked though he had to admit she was a very beautiful woman, but there was no reason why he should do something like that as far as he could tell. “Besides, I think you have enough kids as it is… you also might be a little drunk…” he surmised by her strange attitude.

“Because of your curiosity of course.” She said with some confidence. “And because you too have been changed by this world, just as I have been… and yes… I might have drunk a bit too much…” She admitted. “But that doesn’t mean I don’t know what I’m asking for…”

“Maybe…” Van said reservedly. “What do you mean, changed by this world?”

“I, like you, am not originally from this world… I have memories of a past life. I will tell you all about it… if you…” She waved her ass enticingly. “Do me a favor… Come on now… it’s not every day you get the virginity of a former empress…”

“I thought you had fifteen kids?”

“There are other ways to produce children…” Zartashia said. “Suffice to say… I’ve never been touched by a man… and now with everything that has happened… I want to finally know what that feels like…”

“But that still doesn’t follow as to why I should have sex with you…” Van said.

“Please… do it for me. I have a lot of knowledge I can share with you. And after everything, I've been through… I just want this one thing… to finally know what it feels like to be with a man. A man who is like me…” she said.

Van thought about it. He supposed he could somewhat understand where she was coming from, and that ass did look inviting. And technically this made as much sense as anything else in this world, fucking for information? Sure why not… Slowly, he walked up to her and she responded, leaning forward on the balcony while sticking her ass out a bit more.

Van sighed as he rejoined the party, more to look out for any food that the buffets might have to offer. Absent-mindedly, he wondered about what would happen tonight, when he and Xenith consummate their marriage plus whatever sisters she will drag in with her.

Xenith was a beautiful woman, so he wasn’t against what was happening per say. He just wished people would stop using him as some sort of bargaining chip. A part of him wanted to do away with this marriage fiasco, but another part wanted to continue it for what was going to happen tonight. It seemed since he awakened his incubi bloodline, his lower head has been doing as much thinking as his upper one. And it knew what it wanted…

“One step forward… two steps back…” Van sighed again as he heaped plenty of food on his plate to get as much energy as possible for tonight. He was already beginning to worry that his harem was growing beyond his control, but after this, he might as well completely have lost it, if he even had it in the first place.

“What's wrong Van? For someone who just got married to two queens, you're not looking too happy.” Luna asked, from behind him. Her face filled with concern for him, alongside Agnès following close behind.

“Hmm?” Van turned to look at Luna. “oh… it’s nothing… just… I feel like things are getting out of my control… and I don’t even know how to feel about it. Are you even okay with this?” now asking Luna. “I mean, I just married two different women and you had no say in the matter. I mean… neither did I if I think about it… even though it’s technically my fault…” he sighed again. “I just don’t know anymore… What the hells is my purpose? To be a breeding stud?”

“Of course not…” Luna said, drawing near and giving him a side hug. “Van, I really don’t mind who you marry. After all, we are soul bonded, which means no matter what, I will always love you and will always be with you. I just worry that you might not have enough time for me. That’s my only one real concern.” she admitted.

“And sure… it might seem like your doing more fucking around than actually training or anything else. But think about it in another way… because of what you did, in marrying Xenith and Amie, you have literally helped stop a war and brought two completely different cultures together! You are the glue that binds people together! It’s because of you all this happened! That fairies and wasps can finally put their differences together!” She said somewhat excitedly, trying to press upon him the great amount of change he did in the hopes it would make him feel better.

“Now… am I pissed that they married you off over my head…” She pretended to think about it before giving a firm nod. “YES. YES, I AM!” Then turned to look at him. “But I'm mad at them. Not you! I could never be mad at you…” now giving him a huge hug that forced Van to stretch out his plate.

“Van, you awakened to a bloodline that… well… makes it obvious that stuff like this is going to happen…” referring to his incubi blood and its tendency to attract women. “And we are dhampirs… we will live for centuries if not thousands of years… don’t worry about who you do or do not do. Even if you make a harem of hundreds, you have all the time in the world to properly love them and them you.”

She then looked up into his eyes and leaned in for a kiss. Giving him a nice deep passionate one. After a moment, Van couldn’t help but return it, feeling the love that Luna held for him in that kiss. Using his free hand to grab her waist and pull their bodies closer together. After a while, they parted and Luna started to speak again.

“Van… it might feel weird… that you have grown so strong, yet feel like you lost control… but don’t discount the efforts or the progress you’ve made. You have come a long way since we first left home.” she then leaned close to his ear. “And if you are worried about tonight… don’t worry I’ll join you to help you out… okay?” giving him a wink.

Van snorted, knowing full well Luna was only half-serious and probably just wanted to join in herself, but oddly a little amused by that. In fact, he was feeling a bit better and more relieved now and made sure to tell her.

“Thanks, Luna… you’ll always be-...” he was about to say number one girl but realized that would be the wrong thing to say when managing a harem. “You will always be mine… no matter what…” he amended.

Luna smiled, having an idea of what he was about to say. “You will always be mine too, Van… Now come on! Today’s an auspicious lucky day! Or at least that’s what they say!”

“Who says?” Van asked, looking confused. “And why is today a lucky day?”

Luna began to chuckle. “It’s a lucky day because word around the buffet tables says that the former empress has done it with the groom! Meaning there is a chance for many heirs to come in the future! And that it shows that you are compatible with Xenith! Doesn’t hurt either that you took the former empress’s virginity! Meaning you have her approval!”

Van blinked. “I literally just came out of that balcony ten minutes ago! How are there already rumors about it!?” he asked in disbelief.

Luna chuckled again. “Don’t underestimate a noble woman's propensity to gossip… also all that moaning could be heard by anyone who was near the balcony…”

“Great… just great… I guess that would explain the sideways glances I have been receiving…” Originally chalking it up to him just being the groom. He sighed again. “Well… can’t get any worse… right?”
