Morning feast and welcoming party

It's late morning, and the smell of delicious food wakes me. I'm lying in what used to be a bed, hugging Saphilia and Fuji, both naked. They seem so... Peaceful and rested.

After having fucked, eaten, and slept, I feel more focused, although I'm feeling hungry again. I wake my two ladies up and we get ready to walk down. Once again I wrap my wings around my body, like a dress.

Downstairs there's already a scene going on. There's a huge table in the middle of the inn, full to the brim with roasted, grilled, and baked meat. Tons of people are going around getting food and drinks. Tiana is standing near a window, far from everyone. Delathwyn and Ashiielwyn are eating at the table. Taki is carrying big plates with even more food from the kitchen to the people. Ilithyia and Vemoura are nowhere to be seen yet.

However, the moment I walk downstairs, all movement stops, and every villager looks at me.

"I see the hunt was great." I say softly.

"It was, mistress!" Taki says with a huge, proud grin. "Delathwyn and I found several giant boars! So pork for everyone!"

"Amazing. I'm starving."

The villagers step back as I walk to the table, and the elves make space for Saphilia, Fuji, and I to seat. I'm ready to start eating a huge chop, when someone screams.

"Monster!!" A mug goes flying through the air in my direction, but a quick lash of my tail blocks the projectile, and splashes its content —strong ale—, on the floor.

Immediately, Taki leaps towards the man who threw that, and hurls her chained kunai ar him, wrapping him tightly with chains. The oni jerks the chain and forces the man to kneel.

"You will not disrespect the Greater Dragonlady Albamyra!"

The villagers start murmuring, but I can hear their words. They speak of the Dragonfall, and wonder if I am the new Greater Dragon.

"How kind, Taki" I tell her. I stand up again. "We seek no ****, but we will respond if **** is used against us. We seek for everyone to be accepted. Elves shall not be mistreated in front of me or any of my lovers. Nor will any race. Not even demons." People gasp. I can see Tiana frowning. I can smell her anger. "If any folk is kind, they shall be treated with kindness. This is the order of the Dragonlady Albamyra, the Illithwey. This is my order."

I sit again and start eating. People murmur again. They are scared, but some admire my words. Most are grateful for the food. Everyone says I'm beautiful.

"Ashiielwyn, dear. How did everyone sleep?" I ask her.

"We elves don't need much sleep, but it was a refreshing rest. Ilithyia couldn't sleep well because... Well, the Mistress made too much noise with Saphilia and Fuji. The little Duchess was so annoyed. Or at least that's what she said, because I'm sure she was touching herself when she thought I wasn't looking. Delathwyn and I were... Amazed at your strength and stamina. Ilithyia is still sleeping. Now, Vemoura came down early. She used magic to repair the door, and she helped Taki and the kitchen staff to prepare the boars. Then she went back up to... Meditate. And Tiana has been sulking all morning."

"I'm not sulking. I'm just... still considering if I have other paths to take besides... Whatever this is." She sighs heavily.

I chuckle. I know I'll change her mind sooner or later. I just eat for the time being, and I eat a lot. My hunger is huge, and my muscles need energy. The meat is juicy, with lots of spice. After a long time devouring whatever is in front of me, Tiana speaks again.

"They're here. I told you. I hear their horses."

"So do I." I reply without raising my head much. "Let them come, I already said I seek no trouble."

Several minutes later, a small group makes their way to the inn. Six men and two women wearing armor.

"We are looking for a dragon." The tallest of the group speaks. "The Dragonfall took place last night, and the new Greater Dragon is..."

He stops when he sees us.

"Greetings." I say. "It is me, the Greater Dragonlady Albamyra, the Illithwey. Care to join us in this feast?"

He looks a bit confused. But then he looks daggers at Saphilia. And then he seems upsets when he looks at the elves. And even more when he notices Taki.

"Illithwey? Friend of Elves? I see. So it is a half-dragon, a scaleborn. And I see two elves, and two demons sharing the space with you." He unsheathes his sword, and the others of the group do it as well. "We have been sent to discuss you joining Andor as a protegee of Lady Andea. But it seems demonkin has already poisoned the mind of the Great Dragon."

The people at the inn look around nervously.

"Woah. We're peacefully having a meal. Are you willing to fight among all these kind people?" I ask, leaving a bone on my plate.

"Elves are one thing. But devils, unholy creatures... It is evident that leaving you alive will bring the downfall of Andor."

"That seems a bit too ****. I will very politely ask you to stow your weapons away, friends." I say. I do want to teach them a lesson, but I don't want any blood to be shed in vain. I smile at him. He trembles. "Please?"

He seems really hesitant. His faith is so strong, but he doesn't dare strike an ethereal beauty like me.

"Stop it." Tiana steps forward.

"What? You... Goodness... You are Sword Saint Tiana..." He kneels and so does his group. "Are you...? Have you come here to banish this dragon?"

Tiana looks at me. She's frowning.

"No." She replies to him while glaring at me. "Mistress Albamyra erased one of the failures of my past. She fulfilled my wish and gave several innocent souls a second chance. I... I am thankful. And I owe allegiance to her from now on. Whether her claw will bring Andor to ruins, I don't know. But I will fight her if that's the case."

The group of soldiers stands up again, flabbergasted.

"Such beautiful words, Tiana." I say, and I blow her a kiss. She winces.

"We... We will report your words, Lady Tiana. And meanwhile... Just... Uh... Don't let any other demons nearby. Understood?"

"Good morning, Mistress!" A smiling Vemoura struts down the stairs. "What a night you had, huh? I already repaired the bed! You fucked those two sooo good! I can't wait for my turn to be..."

By the time she notices the armored group, she's right in front of them. The soldiers ready their weapons once again.

"Oh."
