Chapter 169:  These Are Aggressive Negotiations? by Harem-Fan

     Just as my group was heading to the magical pavilion tent, Ulna, the white-haired Headmistress came to Kayo with an apologetic smile, and said,

     "Mrs Eon, when I sent the invitation, I forgot to remind you that the teachers and we are eating alone to discuss our cooperation, like last year, is that alright?"

     Kayo almost forgot she attended that meeting last year, and she gave me a kiss on the cheek and said warmly.

     "Well honey, I have work, so enjoy your dinner with the nobles, and let Dream and Vera keep your arms warm, see you later."

     As Dream took my arm with a smile, Chuck was checking out the Headmistress of Exodus, and he nodded in approval.

     "Seems your Brother Salem has good luck in love, even in the South, hehe. Come Sam, let's go eat the delicious Southern food... For some reason, I want fried chicken, oh?"

     Hmm? It seems Chuck might be thinking of subconscious Earth concepts, like eating Southern Fried Chicken, and he looks confused at some of his words like before.

      I will have to watch him over time... But after finding Gods from Greek Mythology came to be mortals in Myst, Chuck's strange behaviors do not seem to matter...

     Could Chuck be a mortal Greek God? I was also a Human on Earth? Somehow, I could imagine that if Chuck was a Human from Earth, he would have been Elvis for sure. Not sure what God he would have been, now I wish I looked at all of the statues, sigh...

     Kelly, who came to tell me Vera and Dial were waiting at the pavilion for me, smiled and said to me.

     "Husband, I missed out on this dinner last year, so I am nervous."

     I held Dream and Kelly's hands as we went to the Southern section of camp, and said.

     "It is just an excuse to eat good food with nobles from all three nations, and maybe talk some shit."

     Dream smiled and squeezed my hand.

     "Sam Dear, do you remember, it was exactly one year now that you and I met in person? Well, I noticed you before, but it was the first time for both of us, hehe."

     Morgan and Lane behind us were also told this story by Dream before while they got dressed. Lane said cheerfully.

     "Ah, That idiot Nano is so annoying, haha... Can I pick on him?"

     Chuck looked back at the sexy ex-Princess and nodded.

     "Yeah, good job, when I picked on him, I had not realized it was like fighting with a woman, oops!"

     For some reason, I feel a bit sorry for Nano, he is the world's punching bag!

-

     As I felt nostalgic walking to the tent that looks like it only holds a hundred or less guests, I nodded to the two Southern Knights guarding the door, and Jasmin handed the letter.

     They opened the flap for us, and we walked in...

This pavilion is the same magical tent, with its dimensions enlarged, and a series of 4 long tables full of covered delicacies were arranged.

     Dial and Vera had saved the spot at the front, near where the Southern nobles of high statuses are sitting.

     Salinas and Salem are at their central seating, with two empty seats on each side of the Mage Queen.

     Amy Holt, is leaning into Salem's ear, whispering something with a loving smile, and when Salem noticed me walk in, he waved across the massive tent interior, drawing attention.

     Zeke said to me, as he walked to his friends at the Anubis Knight Academy section.

     "I will go sit with my wife, Uta, see you later Sam. Oh, And I will sleep with her tonight... Cough, I meant in her carriage."

     He left with a rosy face and my wives giggling at his shyness.

     Nancy, who was holding Frank's hand, said to me,

     "Um, I will take Frank with me to sit with my friends... And I will talk with Frank tonight, Okay?"

     As I nodded, Chuck joked.

     "Just keep him, Frank snores all night, damn. Thanks for taking one for the team!"

     Thud! Frank punched Chuck's shoulder and said unhappily.

     "Slander! My snoring is not bad, who was the one who snored so loud, a large horde of Demon Beast Wind Wolves were attracted to us in a rage at night, because they thought they were being challenged?"

     Chuck, with a straight face and fast reflexes, immediately pointed at Nevin's 6 foot 4 inch tall body and said seriously.

     "This guy calls dogs and cats all night, right?"

     Nevin's face turned red, and Sue beside him asked.

     "Really, Hunky?"

     I almost forgot that night...

     That was the first night I made love to Mari in Fargo, and then I looked at Kelly on the side, and she covered her lips, holding in laughter.

     Kim held her Daughter's arm and asked.

     "Kelly, was this the first night you were there, because I don't remember dogs and cats there?"

     With tears in his eyes, Nevin said pitifully to Kim.

     "Big Sister Kim, please don't ask, if you respect me at all, I wanna die, hah!"

     By this time, our group was sitting with the others waiting for us.

     Vera was sitting elegantly at the end, saving me a seat next to herself, and Dial was across from her.

     Vera pointed with a smile, and said softly.

     "My Crown Prince, please accompany your 7th Princess."

     As we all sat, Dream sat on my left, and Morgan sat next to Dial, with Lane across from Dream.

     The others took the seats further down, and Jasmin came behind me to pour wine for my group. This time however, Jasmin did not shy from brushing by my shoulders and back with light touches of her body as she served me.

     While my mind was distracted, Vera was brushing my black hair with her fingers, and looking into my electric-blue eyes, and she said tenderly.

     "Sam, did it hurt? I was worried, and wanted to comfort you?"

     I took her soft hand, and said quietly to her.

     "Honey, I am fine, other than the color changing, but your tender affection is really pissing off your old pursuer, haha."

     Vera put on an evil smile I know all too well, and she leaned in while saying...

     "I know, I waited till they were looking, mwah~!"

     And while Tiffany and Nano were watching us, Vera tenderly overlapped her lips gently, in a tasteful way, and when she parted, she let out a blush she normally won't show others. Then she said softly.

     "If it was not inappropriate for a Princess to sit in her husband's lap in public, I would do it, eh?! Being bad feels so good."

     Just then from under the table, a leg coming from Lane was rubbing my leg with her foot... And when I looked at her, she was sipping her wine with a spoiled woman's desire.

     I realized all of my younger ladies are all greedy for attention, but I don't mind. So with a gentle smile from me, she smiled with satisfaction to be acknowledged for her efforts.

     Morgan, who got bumped by Lane in the process, shook her head and also wanted to join the fun, but looking at the room full of nobles looking, she wanted to avoid drawing more attention to me.

     Ting Ting Ting~! At this time, Salem stood and tapped his wine glass. using his magic to spread his gentle voice lazily throughout the  pavilion.

     "Hello Gentlemen and women, I am glad to see you all once again on our way to enter the Southern Kingdom, Humanities front-line in resisting Human enemies. Today was a challenge for us as we were ambushed out of nowhere by the Undead Legion, and thankfully with the help of heroes, we lost no one today. So please everyone, eat, drink, and be happy."

     And a few rounds of toasts and cheers come.

     During this whole process, I watched Salinas looking at her wine glass in a daze, and I felt she was not being her normal self... I am sure it is my fault for sure. (The Narcissist is right though.)

     While I drank my red wine, I sent Salinas a message.

     ]Queen Argus, don't worry, I picked up the clothes you dropped in the room, and no one saw it.[

     Spew~! Cough Cough Cough~! After I sent her my telepathic message, she spit out the wine she was drinking, and coughed violently, confusing those at the tables.

     Amy panicked and stood, asking while ready to heal her if need be.

     "My Queen, are you alright?!"

     Oops, That was totally my fault!

     Then Salinas waved her off and said sternly while glaring at me out of the corner of her eyes.

     "It is fine, it just went down the wrong way."

     ]Sorry, my telepathy was bad timing.[

     As Salinas used her magic to remove the mess, her mild-glare did not escape Salem, and he was confused about what just happened... Did his Sworn Brother make a look at his Sister while he missed it?

     So he became a bit mischievous and pointed to the open spot between himself and Salinas.

     "Prince Sam, come and drink with your Brother for a bit, you are too far away, haha."

     I hesitated because of the glare that Salinas gave, saying she did not want me next to her, so I stood up but froze in place and said awkwardly.

     "Ah? Well, perhaps I really should wait to do that with you in Exodus City, right?"

     Chuck said a bit too loudly.

     "Brother Sam, just go drink, you are offending the Mage Queen by refusing her Brother, right?"

     Just as I saw frost on Salinas' wine glass form, I quickly sent her a message, while walking to Salem.

     ]Queen Salinas, my friend Chuck knows nothing! He is just talking nonsense, don't get mad, okay?![

     Chuck is either lucky or unlucky to provoke her without knowing, sigh...

     As Morgan, who knows about Salinas, watched me walking like a death-row convict, her lips raised.

     She knew that this woman was the second Queen behind her in our lives in the Plane of Death, and the thought of her being over Salinas put on a rare smile on her face. So as I sat with Salem, I saw Morgan wink at me, like saying... Get her Tiger!

     The Southern Royal maid poured me a new glass of clear spirits, and Salem toasted me quietly, but loud enough for Salinas to hear.

     "Brother Sam, I really wish you were the one back then to propose instead of that loser Luke Lucas. Maybe we would be real brothers then, sigh. Well, at least we are good brothers now, cheers."

     I saw from under the table, the fist in Salinas lap was clenched, and I did not know if she was pissed at Salem, Me, or Both... So with cold-sweats on my body, I drank my hard alcohol!

     Salem, noticing his Sister's stiff body, then asked.

     "Hey Sam, you now have Black hair and blue eyes like us, don't you think the three of us look like a good looking family?"

     FUCK! Man, it almost feels like Salem is trying to get me killed, and as Salinas looked past me at her Brother, I noticed at this close range... My [Magic Item Creation] knowledge tells me that the lipstick and her nail-polish is enchanted with magic that makes it glitter like stars in the red background, cool!

     ]That lipstick and nail-polish with a bit of sparkle in it, is that a Southern product? It looks good... I don't think you wore it last time?[

     Just as Salinas was going to scold Salem, my words entered her mind, her heart beat a bit faster with young maiden thoughts, and her pale-blue eyes looked at me with a bit of inexplicable emotion.

     So when her mouth opened, no words could come out, and Salem noticed it... His sister's eyes fluctuated, but he had no idea I had been talking in her mind.

     Salinas' heart is being torn apart, because she both wants to push me away, and pull me close, so she sighed and made a choice...

     When she came to the rest stop, she arranged a room at the barracks for private meetings, and put the key and note into a small envelope. She did this on a whim, and really had no plan to use it, but seeing Sam die, really shook her soul.

     "Crown Prince, I have this evidence we retrieved from the Mummy King before, and do not show it to anyone else. You can also return what 'evidence' you recovered later with it."

     As she passed me the small envelope, our fingers accidentally touched the skin, and both of us felt a sudden shock through our bodies, the kind of shock that made her underwear damp, and my pants feel a bit tight.

     When our eyes met, we both confirmed that our skin cannot touch each other, or our bodies will react. She quickly pulled her fingers back before we lost any control in public.

     I instantly put my note in my ring...

     Salem was confused at our actions, because he could not clearly hear what Salinas said. She had used her magic power to send her whisper directly into my ear.

     Suspicious!

     Unlike last year, no drama occurred during the meal, and we all left.

-

     After we all left, I found a secluded place (toilet) to read the contents of the Mage Queen's letter.

     A room-key to the Rest-stop Inn and a note in her handwriting was in it. I saw the content...

     [Use your pocket-watch to arrive in this room at Midnight exactly, and lock the door behind you. Come alone, tell no one... We need to talk.]

     I pulled out my watch, and saw I had an hour...

     "Well, this is a cheap room and nothing can happen there, so I guess this is about the panties?"

     I then lied and said I was going to go visit Salem in another carriage, and left...
