And they will have to wait a bit longer because,

"Hey Blue." You said turning around to see her arriving in the doorway. She looks indifferent to your greeting but with how controlled her aura is you know the reaction of not catching you by surprise was worthy of hiding.

"Christopher. Can I speak with you in private." She walks out of the room and you turn around to see two disappointed faces.

"Don't mind us," White said sitting down next to Black and putting a hand on her knee, "We'll manage without you." Black rolls her eyes and grabs White head pulling her into a kiss. And on that note you leave. You are leaving a lot of lesbian sex behind you this afternoon.

Catching up to Blue you ask her what you need to talk about she doesn't answer and keeps walking still controlling her aura. When she comes to a door she opens in and waves you inside. You wait for a moment stretching your perception into the room in case there was a surprised Lady Demise inside. There wasn't so you walked inside. It was a reading room, bookshelves lined the walls and your eyes took in the spines. When was the last time you read a book?

Blue walked past you and took a seat waving at the one opposite her. You sit down and look at her. She doesn't say anything, just keeps staring at you. "So did you want to speak to me or?"

"The **** Contract didn't work?" Blue asked.

"Nope, I destroyed the," you stopped from explaining how it worked to someone else, seemed the smart thing to not do, "no it never worked. I helped Anastasia when I got to the capital because she held my sponsorship over me. I spent a lot of time with her wondering if she was trying to use the **** Contract and I had to play along or give away that it didn't work." Being totally honest with Blue seemed like the way forwards. Clare might have said you should talk to Anastasia but you ...

"So you only worked for her because she held something over your head."

... should stop coming up with your own plans. "That's not, well yes, but not for the whole time." You saw her aura shift a moment, her control over it slipping a little to show what might be mutual understanding. Oh right Anastasia was holding her lover for Edin over Blue. "I started helping her after a while because when she was happy I was happy."

Blue looked you over for a long moment. "My mother said you're going to marry Mary and Anastasia is going to live with her betrothed."

"And you don't know where Edin will end up." You figured that was the truth of it and a twitch of her mouth told you you were right. "I don't know, I wish I could tell you something a bit firmer because I'm pretty sure out of everyone you are the most likely to stab me but I really don't know." She gave a little nod of acknowledgement at that which, not the thing you wanted her to confirm.

"Do you think Anastasia will be a good Queen?"

"No." You answered right away, "Not now anyway, she's a few too many rough edges. I think your mother helped Aurora with that when they were younger. And I could use your help with Anastasia now." You hoped that this would in someway bring the two of you together, a common goal to work towards.

Blue stood up and stared at you for some very long seconds. "Appealing to my love for Ana won't work. I've know her longer than you, I know who she is, you've just fucked her a few times and think that makes you special." She walked to the door and opened it before giving you one final comment. "Pick Mary, it's better for Ana that way." She closed the door behind her leaving you alone.

"Why didn't I listen to Clare?" You asked yourself rubbing your face then walking out of the room. You made your way to the dining room and heard chatter coming from it. You walked inside and were greeted by Vatarie, Asune and Delilah. Delilah didn't look all that stressed out by being around the two nobles which was good progress, probably mostly down to Eve's help. When you asked about Edin Vataire said Blue had come to collect him already. You lay on one of the empty lounges.

"Are you intending Delilah to join our Hanun?" Asune asked you pointedly.

"What's a Hanun?" Delilah asked. Both Asune and Vatarie looked at her. "What?"

"So both she and Clare are from your home?" Vatarie asked. You could see a bit of jealously creeping into her aura as she realised there was yet another women who presumably had an established relationship with you, even if it hadn't always been sexual.

"A Hanun is relationship among several people. And yes, Delilah was a member of staff and," you hesitate not sure how much detail you should go into, "came with me after I visited home on the weekend."

"Are you all in a Hanun?" Eve asked raising an eyebrow at you.

"Yes, as is Clare and Anastasia." Asune said as Vatarie chewed her lip looking between you and Delilah.

"Then we will join," Eve paused for a moment, "we'd prefer to just be with Christopher." Delilah finished as she blushed.

"And how does Christopher feel about you joining?" Vatarie asked looking for you to support her.

"I think it's not just up to me." You got up from the lounge and knelt down next to Vatarie. "Are you ok with her joining?"

Vatarie looked at Delilah and straightened her posture. "I'm sure a commoner couldn't satisfy you without help, so I suppose I won't oppose her joining." She was testing how Delilah would react to being on the bottom of the totem pole.

"That's-" Eve started, "fine, thank you your ladyship." Delilah rushed out suddenly looking very small.

Asune got up from her lounge and knelt down next to you pulling at you pants. Everyone looked at her. "If we are part of a Hanun I don't have to wait to have sex with Christopher." She then looked at Vatarie and considered for a moment. "I want to go first."

Vatarie dropped to the ground and grabbed your cock through your pants. "You can wait until I'm done."

Suddenly there was a flash of red and you were laying on your back with Delilah sitting on your crotch facing the two women. Her red dress disappearing at her hips giving you a good look at her ass. "Why don't you two sort out the order while we take care of Christopher." Eve said lifting her hips to pull at your pants. Asune and Vatarie glared at her and the hands hesitated as Delilah faced down her nightmare, two high nobles very focused on her.

Well you can either lay here and let them sort it out amongst themselves, decent chances Vatarie ends up on the bottom of that fight. Not something Vatarie is likely to be very happy with. You could step in but what would even work in this case? Asune is probably the most flexible of all of them and Delilah might bow to authority but Eve and Vatarie aren't two personalities that are going to get along without a decision on pecking order.
