Chapter 156: Trilateral Meeting Of Royalty? by Harem-Fan

     Daniella was straightening my uniform.

     She smiled at me as she looked up into my face and said softly.

     "Until Father announces our marriage and Chad, I will still represent Anubis in today's meeting. Well, it does not matter, because I am already yours, haha. Just let me know what you want me to do, okay?"

     I lifted her chin and gently kissed her lips, then I told her.

     "We will be married tonight at the ball, so no rush, just speak for Anubis like normal. I am only coming for my opinion, and Father Lucas wants me to show myself. I love you, my Desert Flower."

     Due to the heat, I am not wearing the uniform's longcoat, and just wearing my white military-style uniform.

     Daniella is wearing a simple white dress, without the extravagant jewelry most Princesses wear, as she is more into natural beauty, a simple woman. But this is her charm, and she is like Kim in this regard.

     As the door opened, two women wearing gold maid uniforms came in, and Jasmin spoke.

     "Master and 1st Princess, it is time to go to the meeting, you two as juniors should not be late."

     So under the escort of Jasmin, Jen, Mari, and a Royal Guard Mage from Anubis, we were taken to the Central Palace meeting hall.

-

     The Meeting Hall, located on the west-side of the Central Palace, on the 4th floor, looks over the lower-city.

     All Royal Guards from all 3 Nations stay out in the waiting room, as the only guests allowed are those of the Royal Families. Due to their status as Princesses, both Jasmin and Jen will be serving refreshments during the meeting.

     The waiting area is a large hallway with many couches on both sides of the room, and many people are already here.

     Demeter, George, Plume, and 2 Vanguard Knights are standing with Vera, who was looking for my arrival.

     "Husband, you're here, I was waiting for your arrival, are you ready?"

     Vera, who was wearing her Rosecrans uniform without her cloak, came to my side, and took my open left elbow in her hands, so I said.

     "Sorry, I overslept."

     Daniella, seeing Vera, nodded to her and said.

     "Hello 7th Princess, I was slow to walk with Sam, I will go in first, so take good care of him."

     "Thank you 1st Princess, I am happy for your marriage tonight, Sam is excited to finally make it official. We will be Sisters officially."

     Daniella looked playfully at Vera, and she uncharacteristically teased her.

     "Sister, look forward to the Royal Announcement tonight, see you later."

     Jen and Jasmin bowed to me and said together.

     ""Master we will go in first.""

     As the three women left, Vera asked.

     "Master? Are they your personal maids now?"

     I had a lopsided smile, and nodded in defeat.

     "Yeah, it is a part of the Royal Announcement, they are the twin sisters of King Dakar, and they are now under my care. Well, Zoe has much to do, so another two trusted Maids will help me, I think."

     Step Step Step! From the hall came a group of people from the Southern Kingdom... Salinas, Salem, and their Royal Guards.

     My heart skipped a beat seeing Salinas, well after last night's long dream.

     I had not realized that it really happened, but suddenly I felt like I bumped into an ex-girlfriend who I had strong feelings for. Or maybe because I never had an ex-girlfriend, it is better to say that I met my childhood idol who I caught naked, and i'm flustered.

     Salem saw me looking over and waved, but Salinas never even looked over at my group, and turned to enter the meeting room, leaving her Guards behind.

     Salem was stunned as he was not sure if he should follow his Sister in or come over to me. Then a cold voice from the room came out.

     [Salem, come in.]

     Hearing his sister's irritated tone, he smiled and followed her in.

     Had I known she called him in to avoid Salem and I discussing last night, I would have laughed hard.

     But in my current mindset, I could only guess she was mad at me.

     As Vera and I were about to talk, another group came. King Lucas with Queen Gale and his Royal Guard.

     When Leonardo saw Vera and myself, he waved and said.

     "Morning, are you two ready for your debut high-level meeting?"

     Vera and I nodded, and Leonardo said seriously.

     "The two of you will not really bring anything to the table, but the others may ask for your opinions on topics, only then should you speak. Sam, you are my Crown Prince, but your political skills are still immature, and you need more experience. Sadly, Yasmin is pregnant and did not come to aid you this time. I know you two have a strained relationship, but she has many years of politics under her belt, so rely on her in the future. Now let's all go in..."

     As Queen Gale, Vera, and I followed him in the meeting room, I chuckled in my heart due to the fact he is putting on a play for Velvet and Vera. He was the one to bring Yasmin and I together for this purpose.

-

     The main room...

     The west wall is a large window overlooking the ocean.

     In the center of the room is a large square low-table with plush cushions that seats a total of 5 people on each side.

     However, only three of the four sides will be used with one east-side, closest to the door, left open.

     Ironically, or by careful planning, our group is being sat on the north of the table, with Anubis sitting between both groups on the west window side of the table. This leaves the Southerners sitting on the south of the table... I think it is intentional.

     Dakar is sitting dead-center, with Daniella to his left, closer to us, and Percy to his right, closer to Salem's side. Only these three are representing Anubis for this meeting.

     Only Salem and Salinas are representing the South Kingdom, as their Royal family is pitiful. Naturally, Salem is sitting closer to Percy, keeping Salinas farther away from men.

     From Daniella's left side, the first person on the Northern seating is me, Vera, King Lucas, and finally Queen Gale at the edge.

     As the only other two people in the room, Jasmin and Jen, began to serve coffee and tea after closing the room.

     Dakar finally started the meeting as the host of this year's talks.

     "It has been a long time that we Kings and Queen have had the opportunity to meet two years in a row. Let us first exchange our private documents to read over as we enjoy our refreshments, then we can begin after reading the reports."

     With a wave of his Aura, Dakar passed a sealed folder to each of us in the room, and the other two rulers followed.

     So I looked at three folders, one was from the North, South, and West respectively, and I began to read the contents...

-

     The information is not overly complicated, and all done in short form for ease of quick reference. Some details and intelligence is shared and is the same, but from different sources and perspectives, for example...

     Spies from the North identified what the current situation is of the Demon Lord. But the South's spies have found different information from ours, and the West also has something else discovered. So it is easier to compare what the actual situation is.

     The short list of topics and intelligence for this meeting covers the following information...

• The situation regarding the Demon King's revival.
• The fallout of the North's war with the residents of the Infinite Sky Mountains.
• The current movement of the Demon-lands.
• The current movement of the Undead Legion.
• Events in the East Sea.
• Events in the Beast Lands.
• General political strife in all 3 Nations that will impact the other two.
• Royal Families current events. (Sam's events are rampant here, including Chad and his dual-elements.)
• The fallout with Evelina Lorelei and what her becoming Sam Lucas' Summons means for Humans.
• And finally, preliminary results of pre war efforts.

     Because Evil Loli is the strongest Human force, she is treated like a WMD and as her Master, I am influential now, well more than my status as a Mage Knight.

-

     After a quiet half hour of reading, it seems everyone is done.

     Not once since Salinas has come today, has she ever looked in my direction, as if she refuses to look into my eyes.

     Considering last night's invasive dream and memories, I don't blame her.

     As Salem was already done reading, he saw me focusing on his Sister, and he was unsure. His sister was reported to have had a Nightmare this morning, and she has been quiet all morning. Because Salem is smart, he thinks the Past Life Pearl must have something to do with it. And based on my eyes, he knows it has something to do with me, for sure. Even the ring Salinas had worn for two days was now missing from her finger.

     Everyone but me from the North and South, saw the news about Chad and his being born with Earth and Electricity Aura, confirming all of my children are special, and I was quickly asked by Leonardo.

     "Son, when did you find out?"

     I looked amused and said loud enough for everyone to hear.

     "When I arrived in the Capital, haha. I was just as surprised, but he is very cute and healthy."

     Leonardo was counting on his fingers and asked.

     "So with Yasmin's child, you should now have 5 children, right?"

     I do not include Charlotte Lorelei, and just say.

     "Freya is also pregnant..."

     Silence hit for a moment, and even Salinas looked over at my blushing face, and Salem said as a joke.

     "Sam, I only had 13 children over a few hundred years, and you... What is the secret, your Magic and Aura?"

     Due to my Earth's memories, I understand more about what an ovulation cycle is, and with Zoe and I fully exploring it, we have cracked the timing for women in Myst to reproduce. Unlike non-magic women who have a 13 day window, women with Magic Cores only have a 8 to 12 hour window per month to get pregnant, and if insemination (still a ¼ chance due to males) is not done in that short window, no child can be made. (Zoe still hid the double [Full Heal] trick from Sam though.)

     I said to them,

     "To be honest, it has nothing to do with my Aura or Magic, but luck and timing. I have just figured it out with practice and experimentation. Brother Salem, your issue is your lack of enthusiasm with women you dislike, and that is why your new wife has more children than others, it is due to your love for her."

     Even Salem was surprised, though he does not understand the method, he understands most of the other women were just a pump and dump, then leave as soon as possible.

     Dakar, thought of his Father and his many Daughters, nearly breaking 50 and kinda got it, so he asked.

     "Dear Son, will you tell the secret to increased chances?"

     I had already discussed this with Evil, Zoe and the others, and came up with...

     "When the war with the Demons ends, I will release the information world wide, but till then, I will only privately tell a handful of trustworthy souls, because if the Demons find out, they can force many of their Human slaves to breed faster, and this would harm our war efforts."

     Salinas looked to her Brother, thinking she could get the news from him, but he said to me.

     "Sam, as my Sworn Brother, do not tell me the secret... I just got out of the mating cycle, and I don't want those crazy women to find me again."

     I gave Salem a thumbs up, because those women would ignore his wife, and rape him for Mage Children.

     Salinas' cold voice came over hearing the two of us protect one another, and she asked.

     "My Southern Kingdom has had Mage declines in recent years, we need this information."

     I gave Salinas a thumbs up and said with a grin.

     "Tell your noblewomen... legalize Harems in the South, and I will tell them. Monogamy kills Mages, haha."

     Dakar, Leonardo, and Salem all gave me a thumbs up in their hearts, but outwardly hid their smiles, while Salinas felt helpless.

     Seeing Salinas stop talking, Dakar moved the talk on.

     "Well, Human Mage reproduction is not in today's talks, so let's move on to relevant matters..."

-

     And the meeting continues...
