--AN) Running Late today. There will be another chapter soon!--
With the vows and rings now given, the King smiled and looked at the five of us and said: "As the current King of the Gravos Kingdom, I would like to congratulate each of you for being married on this fine day. Remember the vows you made today, and make sure you cherish one another."
With these words, the wedding was finally over, and everyone in the audience, the thousands of people who came to witness the wedding, all began cheering. I smiled as I saw the three girls and one man standing in front of me and opened my arms, calling them all into a group hug. We were now officially family. One entity.
While the girls went to the estate to get ready for the wedding night, I was stuck entertaining nobles in the front yard of the estate. Luckily no one forced me to drink, but there were many drinking around us. Diablo was with me since tomorrow would be his wedding night with me. While I felt bad, I could not share him with anyone else. This was the only rule in the relationship. The girls could play around with the other girls as they wished, but Diablo was strictly mine.
The girls playing rule helped deepen their bonds and allowed for no infighting. This made things much easier to deal with since no one would be at each other's throats. We could easily work things out slowly.
The third day after my wedding, I woke up in pain. I just spent almost two sleepless nights with my new wives and husband, and they were not so nice to let me go. "Grace, help me!"
"Master, this is what you get for having so many spouses. But then again, I guess you also expected this otherwise, you would not have ordered so many medicines for pain." Grace said as she handed me a glass of blood and a few pills before casting basic healing magic on my thighs and waist.
"How are your hunger spells? Are you doing okay?" I had been worried that Grace was holding back from feeding, so I tried to ask this of her once a day.
"I am feeling a little peckish now that you said something," Grace replied honestly. I nodded and pulled my hair back while tilting my head. Grace Bowed her head to me before kneeling on the bed and biting into my neck.
My new daily life as a Drakani was still hard to get used to. While I can eat food and drink things, they were much more bland than before, which kinda upsets me. At my wedding, I was drinking blood from a glass like I did just now. Diablo was nice enough to help me stock up on blood for emergencies. So were the girls, so I now had bottles of blood in a special fridge that I had Thurul make that were labeled with each of their names. However, Iena's blood was still the best tasting.
After Grace had her breakfast and healed my thighs, I could finally move. Diablo had already left earlier in the morning to go help with a few things that the girls had asked him to help with. I was not sure what it was, but they seemed to be kind of secretive as of late. Although my exercises with Diablo might have put me in a special state last night, and I am not sure if I was fully protected or not. But if something happens, I will just deal with it then.
I got out of bed and stretched before rubbing my eyes as Grace brushed my hair and began telling me what my tasks were for the day. "Master, today you have an appointment with the King to discuss your coronation and the change of the kingdom's name and status. Also, Miss Runa has also returned to her kingdom to talk with her father. She mentioned something about preparing for a major alliance like no other."
"Mmmm… The dwarf and elf kingdoms should be willing to form alliances with me. I do not think the beast kingdom will, though. My main concern is the Holy Trident Theocracy. They believe in a water god named Aoilia and hate demi humans from what I understand." I sighed. I had a long road ahead if I wished to push my ideals with other kingdoms to end slavery of demi humans and humans. But to think I might have to fight a beast kingdom in order to push these ideals. After all, I heard they began enslaving humans not too long ago, which also goes against my anti slavery agenda.
I might sound like some crazy person trying to push my ideals on others, but I have two reasons for my new move to make this a united continent. First, outside threats from other continents, and second there were still many inside threats. Between the old prime minister and Azgrade and his people, I had a lot to worry about.
"Ahhh! So much to do!" I whined as Grace handed me a dress. "Please look the part of a soon to be Empress Master. I do not wish for people to look down on you as you enter the palace. However, your new charm ability may keep things from happening. This is why I chose a slit side dress so you can show more leg."
"Grace, don't try to turn me into some kind of prostitute!" I yelled out, causing Grace to click her tongue and switch the dresses.
"That's better," I said, sticking my tongue out at her. It's times like this that I still really enjoy. No wonder in my dreams, Grace was always at my side.
Strangely I have not had any of those dreams as of late. So I am not sure if my dreams have changed or what. My other, on the other hand, is a different story. I still need to figure out what is going on with her because she is always crying about me fighting a bloody battle. Maybe sometime in the future, this land or even this continent will be stricken with war.
