Chapter 150: Dark Double Trouble? by Harem-Fart

     The next morning, I was at the low-table eating breakfast with Danella and Dream.

     In Anubis, the customary way of eating, relaxing, and entertaining others, is to use the traditional furniture of the West Desert Kingdom.

     This primary difference is the use of 3 foot tall low-tables, and for seats, there is a 5×5 cushion, like you find on modern Earth couches, but about 10 inches thick and generally soft on the top. Some of these cushions have a 1 foot high pillow back to lean back on, like a mini couch. 

     The couches of Anubis are all lowered closer to the floor, as if there are no legs on it, almost like a modern futon couch.

     And for beds, there is no box-spring, so it looks like a matrices is lying on the floor alone.

     It is also customary for Anubis coffee tables and dining tables to always have a bowl of assorted fruits ready to eat at any time.

     Coffee is the most popular beverage in the West Kingdom, but black-tea is still the preferred beverage by the nobility, to be more like the other two Kingdoms in temperament. Coffee is abundant in Anubis, but tea is imported.

     While I was enjoying new types of spice of the West, Daniella was talking with me about the agenda for the day...

     "Sam, I wanted to let you know, your Sworn Brother Salem Argus will be arriving in an hour, as they were in Isis City this morning. They will take the first open portal and then be escorted to the Palace, do you want to go meet him?"

     Yeah, in last year's Ball, Daniella was there when I became sworn brothers with Salem, and of course Salem had been friends with the late King Windless.

     "Yeah, I kinda miss his company, so I will go to see him."

     Daniella then told me.

     "Only my Father will greet them at the gates, so Dream and I will not go, because we are too low in status to greet the Royal Twins at first. Jasmin, take Sam to the gates of the Palace to greet Father, would you?"

     (A/N Holy shit, only after I typo'd, did I notice that Jasmin and Yasmin both have similar roles and names, lmao.)

     Jasmin, who had just handed Chad to the other maid, looked at us and said.

     "Sure, I had something to say to Brother anyway. Prince, finish up, and we will go."

     Jasmin is very professional, and not once did she even have any reactions about our late night encounter. She is as good a maid as Zoe, for sure.

     "I am ready, please lead the way."

     After kissing Dream and Daniella goodbye, I followed the golden-dressed maid to the front of the Palace...

-

     While I followed my maid, I remembered the differences in Royalty of the West and North.

     In the North, Gravity Element is needed to be acknowledged as a Prince or Princess without marrying (Sam married Yasmin) one yourself.

     The North prides itself on the Gravity Bloodline, but I am not sure why. Not even Evil knows why the Gravity Element is so important to the Lucas Royal family, as it has always been important.

     Well, with the Argus twins being Ice Element users, there were rumors of the King at that time not being the Father, but this was later refuted with the use of magic, and confirmed with the birth of Vasco Nano from his Mother.

     So if the twins would have been born in the Lucas Royal Family, the two would not have been recognized as legitimate Princes and Princesses.

     This bloodline-purification complication is what caused the Civil War to begin with, as many of that King's children had different elements and only the 1st Queen, Luke's Mother, was a Gravity Mage.

     Anubis however has no Element restrictions on their Royalty whatsoever, except that only men may be the Ruler of the West.

     Unlike the North, the Queens of Anubis may not hold political-power, but instead are in charge of the Palace and events held.

     Even though the women hold the magical power here, Queens are restricted. Now Princesses however are allowed to participate in politics and the government, but once they become a Queen, it is stripped. So Domino runs the Palace with her other Queens, and lets the Princesses run the City or other parts of Anubis.

     The reason Queens were stripped of these rights was due to the Civil War caused by the Widow Queen a long time ago.

     I sigh in my heart about the pros and cons of all of the Human Kingdoms differences in style and faults.

     Unless the North has a reason for the need for Gravity, this restriction seems stupid to me. (There actually is a reason)

     The West is dumb to restrict the Queens, just because of the past Widow Queen.

     And the South, it is not because of a Queen being in charge, but I believe the anti-harem policy kills the Mage population.

-

     Just as we were passing through the Central Palace, I heard one of my wives call my name.

     "Haha, I knew my Husband would come running to meet Salem Argus, so I waited here for you."

     When I looked to the side, I saw Morgan with her purple hair in a ponytail, wearing a sexy grey-belly-dancer outfit, to denote her Death Element. But Morgan wearing this outfit is a crime against all mens rationality and...

     Bang! I walked right into a pillar!

     Sure I have seen Morgan naked so many times and made love to her more than I should, but seeing her dressed in Anubis style clothing, really changed her atmosphere, then I remembered...

     Persephone in my past-life, wore revealing outfits like this. So as I rubbed my nose and heard Jasmin and Morgan laugh at me, I said unhappily.

     "Dammit Morgan, I know you did this on purpose to get my attention, sigh. Do you want to meet Salem with me?"

     Mwah~! Morgan lifted her veil covering her lower-face and kissed my lips gently. She then lowered it, saying to me.

     "I calculate everything, and while I am a guest in Anubis, understanding the culture is respecting the locals. As for meeting Salem, I am eager to meet him because he is your friend. But for the real reason I dressed like this? I need to be the most beautiful woman at your side when you meet all of those Southern women, so they know to back off. So really, I am protecting my man."

     I felt warm inside being praised, loved, and protected by Morgan, even though it is a bit far fetched, but what man is not proud to have the ultimate-trophy-wife showing off?

     Jasmin gave Morgan a thumbs up, and complimented.

     "Mrs Von-Crane, even I have to respect your style. I believe you are the most beautiful of Prince Lucas' wives, and you look good in our native clothing."

     Morgan sucked my arm into her top-grade chest and said to us both.

     "Sam, I like this lady."

     Pluto silently followed the three of us outside to the front...

-

Dakar Windless, Western King of Anubis. 83 years old, 5 feet 6 inches tall, with dirty-blond hair and dark-brown eyes. An 8th Circle Air Swift Knight. On any-other site than Scribble Hub, then my work was stolen!

-

     As we made our way outside, both George and Demeter Lion came to guard my group.

     Mari and the others are guarding Vera.

     When my group came to the main-entrance-curb, I saw King Dakar and Prince Percy waiting with their Knights behind them in their uniforms, all of them equipped with either paired Scimitars or Falchions (Trident for Percy) on their backs.

    Dakar, seeing me, smiled warmly and said to me,

     "My Son Sam, I am so happy to see you well, and what?! You really are both a 7th Circle Knight and Summoner, sigh, my girls have made me happy, haha!"

     I blush because he is mentioning Daniella and Dream while Morgan is glued on my arm, but unknown to me, Dakar respects me more because of Morgan, proving I am like his Father.

     No one in Myst would have believed that my Son Chad Windless was going to make his Great-Grandfather proud with the largest harem of Mage women, breaking the 108 limit! (This story-line will be in 18 years, cough

     "Father, this is my lovely Wife Morgan Von-Crane, a 4th Circle Death Summoner. This is her first summons, Pluto a Pale Harvester from the Plane of Death."

     Morgan bows her head slightly and says solemnly.

     "I greet King Windless and Prince Windless."

     Pluto lifted his bone-finger and wrote in the air with his grey Death Energy...

     [I greet the Anubis King for my two Masters.]

     Dakar looked at Pluto with interest, especially with what he was told, so he asked.

     "Sam, I was told that you have influenced your Wife Morgan's Summons, and was wondering if you would be willing to help Dream and one of my older Sister's 7th Circle Summoning when they reach it?"

     As I was going to help Dream by default, and was going to ask about his Sister, Jasmin said at my side to confirm my guess.

     "Prince Lucas, the Summoner Sister King Windless is asking about will be the personal maid attending Princess Dream to the North with us, she is currently about to break through to 7th Circle Summoner, and is in seclusion right now and thus why you have not yet met her."

     I nodded to Dakar and Jasmin and said.

     "Naturally I would, especially for my family."

     Dakar was happy and said to Jasmin.

     "Jen will be excited to be assisted by Sam, a double blessing for her, haha."

     Jasmin told me the details about Princess Jen Windless, surprising me a bit.

     "Jen is my identical twin Sister, we look the same, but with different personalities. She is also of the Dark Element, but thankfully her Summons are not Demons, but they are weak in power. With your help, we hope she will call a powerful Monster to boost her strength, and hopefully her confidence, sigh."

     I saw melancholy in Jasmin and Dakar's facts about Jen. Based on her age, she is as talented as Freya due to being 7th Circle by 99 years of age. Sure she is not a genius, but she is above average, so I asked.

     "Not being a Demon Summoner and her level is a good thing, so what is the issue?"

     Jasmin elaborated.

     "Jen contracted with a 1st Circle small Shadow Elemental (a living shadow), and then summoned a 1st Circle Dark Doll Construct (a cute horror-film porcelain doll) as her second Monster. This has caused her to become depressed and gloomy in her outlook in life. Basically, she has an inferiority complex. So with your help, perhaps she can have some hope of becoming stronger."

     I understood everything quickly. With a genius twin, and summoning two weak monsters, it gave her no hope in her Summoner Class, affecting how she undervalues herself, not to mention that being a Dark Element user can also cause depression.

     Morgan said to them.

     "Don't worry, Sam can help attract something good, I can almost guarantee it."

     Clang Clang~! Just at that moment, the conversation ended, because the front Palace gates opened, revealing a large number of Anubis and Exodus Knights entering...

     The Southern Kingdom has arrived...
