Dealing with the Empress

You glare at the Empress in her euphoric state before groaning, sitting up in the 'bed'. Why do I have the urge to just kill her right now? And what was that with Graul earlier? I'm not usually that aggressive, am I? You shake your head as you stand up. No, it wasn't like that a couple days ago... You pinch the bridge of your nose, sighing. No time for that. I only have twenty minutes to find out as much as I can. You turn, facing the **** queen bee in front of you. "Empress, can you hear me?"

"...ye...s..." Her blank stare doesn't quite aim itself to you, but you don't think it matters.

You exhale. Can I even get anything out of her? Through God's Eye, you gleam as much as you can (including the fact that she seems to be affected by Mind Break for nearly double the usual time), idly wondering what you could ask her that wouldn't be in her stats. "Empress...do you want to have sex with me again? Do you want me to breed you again?"

"...uhn..." Her verbal response leaves something to be desired, but you can't deny her hips push forward a bit.

Well, there's something. "Well, next time, you're going to have to work a lot harder for it. I'm not your pawn, and I'm not your plaything. Next time you want me to fuck your brains out..." You exhale, trying to calm your fury again. "...you'll ask me. Not as a 'reward', and not as a demand. You'll ask me next time you want to have sex."

"uhn..." She begins pouting, her brows furrowed. "...nuh..."

"No. You'll ask me. And if you don't, I won't fuck you," you exhale again, "I won't have sex with you again if you don't ask me."

"hn!" She squirms.

I guess hypnosis is out the window... As you wait for her to wake up, you look around the 'penthouse suite' of the hive. It's barren, but the windows seem just large enough for you to squeeze through if you were in a human form, although impossible with your monstrous stature and wings. Eve would fit easily...might be able to use that... You grit your teeth and cuddle back into 'bed' with the Empress. Even with whatever...anger I have for her, aftercare is important. You rub her hair and back, holding her to your chest, albeit a bit awkwardly with her antennae. "Don't worry, Em. I don't plan on leaving you behind." Despite my wanting to crush you right now...

"Why haven't I just killed you, yet?" Camilla groans, regretting participating slime-sitting duty.

The blob in question cowers in the corner of the captain's hut, before Kara walks over to pick it up. "Cammy, I know you had a rough start, but Dusk asked us to help. They clearly don't want to hurt anyone, so why don't we give them a chance?" She carries it to the bed and sits down with the slime in her lap.

"You know it's draining your mana as we speak, right?" The brunette crosses her arms and glares at the blue creature.

"And? As long as they don't eat too much, we're fine." She pets the blob, which seems to purr, in its own way. "I still need some to help Dusk with, after all."

Camilla sighs as she falls back on the bed. "So he can possess both of us now..."

"I don't think at the same time, though that could be fun." The blond giggles.

"I know you said you're okay with this, but...are you sure? I guess it's a little late now, but...it's not something to take lightly."

Kara lies on her side, setting the slime on the bed between the pair. "Cammy, please don't. You sound like my mother right now, and half the reason I'm still here is so I don't have to deal with her until Dusk gets back."

"And the other half?" Camilla cocks an eyebrow.

The kitsune smirks. "Do you need to ask?" She scoots over, bending at the waist to kiss her girlfriend on the lips.

The Empress pushes herself away from you, seemingly regaining her senses. "Who said you could continue to embrace me?" She turns and swings her legs over the side of the rock 'bed', sitting up.

Ugh... "Well, you didn't dismiss me, either." You glance through God's Eye again, confirming her pregnancy has taken hold...and also only lasts until tomorrow. "You'll be glad to know you're pregnant. Eat lots, since you'll be giving birth tomorrow." You stand up as you speak, turning in time to see a curious glance from your partner.

"Really, now? My previous pregnancy lasted a week." She turns away again, fixing her hair. "We will see. You will return here tomorrow. I will ensure Graul doesn't give you...trouble, like he did today."

You sigh, rubbing the back of your head. "You saw that?"

She chuckles. "I have no need for your company, now. Return tomorrow, and if your claim is true, I might have another reward for you." She gives a sultry stare.

"If you ask nicely, I just might accept it. Now, your highness, I must return to town." You bow, and take your leave.

You land behind Camilla's, glad to be rid of the Empress for the day. You slouch a bit before stretching as you approach the door. Opening it, you spot the girlfriends awkwardly making out with the slime in between them. As you enter, the slime seems to perk up, quickly rolling off the bed and bumping into your foot. "I see Camilla was able to hold herself back." You bend down and pat the pet-like blob.

"Do people not knock where you're from?" Camilla glares at you.

"Sorry, I thought Kara would have heard me."

Kara sets a hand on her girlfriend's arm. "I would have warned you, but...you know." She pecks her cheek before sitting up. "Is it time already?"

"We've got some time, although the Empress took a bit more of it than I thought." You sigh, picking up the mana-sucker from the ground. "And between that, and this little guy, and training, it just seems like this morning is completely-"

The front door opens suddenly, revealing a shorter white-haired woman with a big witch's hat. While you're uncertain if the blond and brunette know of her, you certainly do.

"...packed." You gulp.
