Chapter 491 490: Empress' Plans

?

I sat and quietly observed the gathering of the Empire's most important people, listening in for what the Empress wanted from the Heir of House Asmodia - my lover.

After all, whatever was asked of Jahi would, in turn, be asked of Anput, Leone and I as we worked to help Jahi reach her goals, all of us determined to be her support.

Despite Anput and Leone having the ability to act the same as Jahi, they both were content with being her 'women' when it comes to her goals, joining me in helping Jahi achieve those goals before eventually moving onto their own goals.

In a sense, we were all rather traditional women in that regard, doing what we could to support our futa first and foremost before using whatever time remained on ourselves...

"Jahi, I can't make any promises on just how much of a help Arc will be for you, considering your magics are of two different veins, but at the very least you might get a good grasp of what you can do and how well you can do it under her tutelage. As I'm sure Chordeva has explained, Light and Dark Magic is incredibly potent against Fiends, and with both you and Arc having the ability to wield it, well, the Empire is lucky and blessed.

That's why I need to make sure that your arcane prowess is at least half of your physical prowess, so that you can rely on that powerful weapon more in the future, and so that the place I have built over these long years can escape this new age unscathed. So, I want you to spend a few hours every day with Arc honing your magic. If you have inherited anything from Ria, this should be an easy bump in your strength. You might be of Demon blood primarily - and specifically of a strain that uses magic sparingly - but you also have Elven blood as well. Let's hope it benefits you going forwards...

Besides training under Arc, I would suggest seeking Chordeva out when you can, seeking out Tess if she's up and about, and if you really desire it, seek out Fen for another training session. As it stands, your Mom will be able to best guide you along with the style of fighting that you Demon's so heavily prefer, whilst Tess has a better grasp on magic than almost everyone else in this Empire. She might be able to guide you to new heights..."

Trailing off, the Empress looked around the room before focusing on Leone first, adding "Leone, I would recommend spending more time with Lorelei and honing the magic unique to you Vampires, as well as some time with Igna for a new look at Fire Magic. Continuing your practices will still get your really far, but should you be stuck, a fresh set of eyes on what you're doing can always be beneficial.

Begum Anput, I would suggest seeking out Igna as well, but also Vienna as she too has Metal Magic, and I imagine the two of you would get along rather well... Additionally, Fen is always available for you, should you choose, and perhaps you would benefit from a trip over to the forges? Ba'Ruk is our current forge master, son of So'Luk and inheritor of the Coal Scale Family... He'd be willing to have an apprentice to help around the forge, if you want."

Glancing over at me, the Empress smiled softly as she said "For our resident 'Maid', if you were willing you could seek out Yusa and her daughters, though there is no promise that they'd help you. Yusa is a lazy woman, and our daughters are... eccentrics, to say the least. If you manage to convince them, learn what you can. Otherwise, Roman wouldn't be a terrible sparring partner and mentor for you, considering your 'role' inside the party, whilst Dante could give you some guidance on enchanting. Do with that as you will."

She looked back towards the others, glancing at Mother first as she added "I think it'd be best to just relax for the next few days though... Or at the very least remain close by the Palace. I don't think Miss Julie is too far off from delivery."I think you should take a look at

Lady D'Arcon nodded, idly stroking her own daughters back as she said "You might not feel blessed just yet due to the... difficulties that come with twins, let alone hybrid twins, but..."

Mother smiled softly as she stroked her large stomach, her amber eyes flickering towards me for a moment before she replied "No... I feel blessed even now. The entire time, really... To be able to be a Mother is a blessing, even if the pain that comes with it from my two hybrid children is great. Besides, I... I feel like I need this, to feel like I hadn't failed the basic things with my first girl. Something that I can never move past, even if she insists its fine..."

Everyone looked towards me, and I just gave a wry smile before moving over to the teapot, grabbing it from the stove right before it began to whistle.

Dropping in the tealeaves, I began to pour everything out into cups before putting it back on the stove, beginning another batch whilst I served the first.

The Empress continued to discuss things with everyone, giving us all a better idea on what we could look forwards to going forwards and some good ideas on what we should be trying to do first during our time here.

Besides that, the Empress did allude to us being a tad more careful with our desires now that we were here, reminding us that whilst she doesn't mind what we do, to just be careful not to go overboard, as well as to keep in mind time and place since... well, we could return to our room filled with people again, and we couldn't really argue about it since this wasn't owned by us, just being graciously given.

Of course Leone blushed at that reminded from her Mom, whilst her Mother glared at her, Jahi, and the Marquess, like she was accusing the Demoness' of tainting her daughter... which certainly isn't far from the truth, considering Jahi 'tainted' us all on a regular basis...

Either way, we now had a good idea on who we should go to for training and who we should see for exactly which part of our training, as well as a careful reminder that breaks are something we should take regularly to keep our minds and bodies fresh.

Besides that, I was looking at Mother, who was leaning into the Countess' side as she idly stroked her stomach, which had ballooned out quite a bit now that two separate children were growing inside it.
