Chapter 1486: Discussing Princess Camelia (Part-3)

The mention of her family and husband drove Lady Parthia once again to the edge, as guilt and pleasure fought for dominion. 

Yet this time she did not try to stop herself. 

Rather she kept on kissing, wanting the pleasure to overload her mind for now. 

Thus before long, Alexander even felt the mature woman grinding her hips against him, rubbing all her moistness over his thighs. 

It was hot and her dense pubic hair made it ticklish. 

So, in turn, Alexander also turned up his caresses of the belly, driving the hands below her naval and grabbing the spot just above the hot womb,

"Ahhh… your womb is so hot, my lady, ahhh… I know you want me to have me! Did you know I can feel it quiver with excitement every time I thrust inside…especially the mouth of your cervix, it shakes and cries every time my tip kisses it. And then it bursts open like a fountain when I come!... Can you deny it?" 

Lady Parthia's eyes nearly became glassed at the lewd words, while the heat in the loins increased tenfold.

Of course, she could not deny it, as her legs squirmed trying to rub the itch out. 

"No! My belly is too ugly. Don't play with it!" However, the determined lady still managed to regain her senses, breaking away from the kiss, and gave Alexander a bit of an aggrieved look. 

Indeed with so many pregnancies, Lady Parthia had many, visible, purplish stretch marks on her belly, like tattoos.

And although due to the miracle of the legummum, a lot of the marks had become much less noticeable, still, it was natural for any woman to feel a bit defensive over such unwanted marks. 

So she tried to move her slightly flabby belly away.

But Alexander on the other hand insisted on keeping her there, lightly pulling her towards her and grinning, "Haha, do you know my lady why pregnancies cause these marks?" 

Instead of simply consoling her like before, he asked her a question. 

"....." And as Lady Parthia turned to give him a muted, inquisitive look, the man chimed in a very knowing tone, 

"I heard it from Mother- it happens when the skin gets sketched too much. As you can already guess, our skin has a limit. We cannot simply keep pulling and stretching it to infinity." 

"So as your belly expands due to the baby, the skin becomes more and more taut… until sometime, if the baby is really big, the thin upper layer of the skin is no longer able to hold itself. So it slightly rips… not fully but kind of like how a cloth rips after wearing it for too long- it still remains intact, but you can see some of the skin below."

"The same happens with the skin- the blood under the skin then becomes exposed which then quickly hardens… kind of like how we heal from a cut. That is why you will notice your stretch marks look very similar to healed wounds- whitish, with a dull sheen."

"And this type of mark is even seen in men who are very fat… their skin can no longer hold all the extra meat! So you might see similar scars along their shoulders and bellies."

"So my lady, you see there is really no need for you to be embarrassed. These marks are normal. They are signs of the Mother blessing you." 

As Alexander finished, he once again began to lovingly caress the slightly flabby belly, gently smiling at her and feeling the warmth emanating from there. 

While listening to him, Lady Parthia's eyes by now had turned very dim and dreamy, as her heart paced forth at breakneck speed. 

Because everything that Alexander said instinctively made sense to her. He even provided examples as proof, which matched with her own experiences. 

Now that he mentioned it, Lady Parthia indeed found similarities between the marks on her belly and a small cut she once had on her hand from trying to use a knife.

It was a relatively innocuous cut, but she still remembered it because as a born and raised noble lady, that was the only time she had ever gotten injured. 

After that incident, she was never allowed to get near such 'dangerous' tools as the maid took care of all her needs.

And thus, as Alexander proved his point, Lady Parthia became more and more convinced of his divine status and the sensation of the manly hands squeezing her tender loins became so much more pronounced- for her it was beginning to feel like the most potent of aphrodisiac.

Undoubtedly the greater reason Lady Parthia favored Alexander so much was his mind- and not his impressive tool.

Because she had met countless hulks and smooth talkers in her life… in fact too many to count There were even more ambitious nobles who tried to woo the queen, trying to tempt her to have a little tussle in bed with a young stud. 

Such cheating by wives among Tibian nobles certainly existed, although thankfully it was not that widespread. Because this was one of the legitimate ways a man could kill his wife on the spot without any trial. 

While in Lady Parthia's case, she had brutally crushed all such advances… even sometimes having her husband massacre entire houses, just for the crime of being disrespectful to her. 

So the fact she went from that blue blooded arrogant lady to kneeling and kissing another man's organ… really went to show just how much of her heart had swayed in the meantime. 

It was almost a miraculous transformation. 

"... Do you really find my daughters that ugly?" As the fire of want raged in her lower parts, Lady Parthia suddenly made this query, giving Alexander a very serious look.

"....." And the man returned the look, pausing for a second to think, before breaking into a frank smile, "Haha, Of course not! When did I say that? They are without beautiful. It is just that they are not as beautiful as you," before eruditely adding, 

"And I even have a guess as to why. I believe your in laws had married between their close relatives too much. Uncles, and first and second cousins. So some of their bad traits kept being passed on."

"That is why your daughters are unable to bloom like you. The generation of bad… undesirable traits is too strong."

"Can physical traits be passed along too?" While hearing Alexander's words, Lady Parthia let out this genuine cry of surprise, her eyes big and bright.

A greater amount of her surprise lay in Alexander's new revelation rather than the perceived deficiencies with her daughter.

Because in this time period, the view on genetics was totally different from our modern ones.

Here, the prevalent thought was that children had the moral characteristics of the father and mother passed on- such as honesty, obedience, truthfulness, kindness, chastity, etc- this was another reason why a mother's background mattered so much.

But not the physical ones.

The bodily features were thought to be instead personally fashioned by the gods- totally unique and distinct for each human. 

As for explaining the matter of a child looking like his father or mother or uncle, well that was cleverly understood by claiming that he/she had obtained the qualities of that particular person the most. 

"Yes! That is right" While toward the ask, Alexander simply nodded lightly, not going into the details of it. 

He would not know where to start even if this was the place for it as Lady Parthia lacked even the smallest of foundations.

Although, perhaps the man was also slighting the clever queen a bit here, as quickly picking up on some of his words, Lady Parthia shrewdly pointed, 

"Then is marrying cousins, nieces, and uncles actually forbidden? Will the children be cursed?" 

"...." At the question, Alexander initially wanted to give an unequivocal yes. 

This was very clearly incest.

However, he quickly stopped himself, knowing this would not go down very badly with the rest of the country. 

Marriages of this time were far more than simply a boy marrying a girl. It was about families coming together. 

And the entire known world's political system was essentially based on relatives marrying each other to keep the power within themselves. 

So Alexander forbidding it would be like hitting the very pillar that held up the kingdoms.

He could never do that. No one would ever accept his words. 

In fact, he doubted even if he told everyone of the dangers of such close inter related marriages, even if he showed them undeniable proof, no, even if everyone believed him without a shred of doubt, they would still choose to ignore him. 

There was too much at stake for them to change their ways and come over to him. 

"It is not certainly recommended." Thus Alexander lowered the threshold of his verdict, then bolstering it with an example, 

"It is like taking a cold shower in the rivers during a freezing snowstorm. You might get away with it… but the much more likely thing is you end up with a severe cold and fever. Not a good gamble."

"Similarly, consecutively marrying your first cousins and close relatives can lead to many problems. The Mother prefers new blood into her family."
