Life as a Royal’s Breeding Partner

Chapter 156 – Another Hot Bath

"All our childhoods are basically the same. The moment we can talk, they start teaching us how to read, write, etiquette, history, and all that. If the stone finds that you will have an affinity, you then have to add in mana, class, and skills training. Those without mana do get some lessons on it, but not nearly as much. Those who are likely to become maids will receive extra training for that when they get a bit older. Depending on the family, some kids get time to be a kid. Play and whatnot. Normally, with the maids and siblings if you have any close in age. But a lot of our childhood is your current life. We do have parties for kids. There, you would interact with others, and the family would hope you form some bond that helps you get married once you come of age or help you find people to marry if you are taking over the family," Shimmer says. "The Princess was raised during the last great war of this Queendom. Her life growing up would be learning how to fight and lead others. All about duty to her Queendom. So, she struggles with people a little bit. As you have noticed. We are working on her. So she should get better at understanding you."

"I don't need her to understand me. I just want to marry who I love," I tell them.

"Yes, she has come around to agree to that. We are working on the timetable for now," Ioelena says. I guess I'm not the only one that lets Shimmer drone on about stuff.

"She has a few months to agree to it and get this collar off me," I say. "The only thing going for her is that I'm not pregnant."

"You won't be unless you wish to be my love. We understand your desires but know that she has a good point about it being dangerous for your mother and her wives to marry us. The fight for the throne can end with death even when you win. The current Queen lost two wives before she made it to the throne," Shimmer says. "It would be better for them to be concubines till we get the throne. Then we can marry them if you still wish for that."

"How would they die? What kind of stupid shit do we do in this?" I ask. What the fuck is wrong with these people. Dying for the damn throne.

"Fights. Often the last two Princesses fight for the throne literally. Battles. The Queen is meant to watch over it to limit the deaths, but magic doesn't always make that possible," Shimmer says. "Assassinations as well. Frowned upon, and if the Queen finds out, then the Princess gets kicked out of the race. Princess Adesela had that happen. But that was more of trying to kill the Duchess's kids. Then, over the next week, almost all of us will be going out to hunt beasts and bandits to help spread Elora's name and increase the standing of our house. That always brings out a chance for death. Then wars are more common than we would like, and they have a good chance of death. Your mother would be shielded from some of that, but they would have to provide something to the house. There is an expectation for the women of this house to provide services to the people or it would hurt us. That is the issue."

"I don't care. Then the Princess should drop out of the race or find a different man."

"She doesn't want to, and I know you feel that is unfair. It was unfair to force you. She could've started this with a discussion and simply brought your lovers in as your maids or something. But this is where we are at right now," Shimmer says. "We all love you, Alzi, and we are figuring out how to make it up to you for how this marriage happened. I know that we aren't doing a good job of that as well. But there are a lot of moving parts to this right now. We'll figure it out. I promise."

Ioelena makes me jump a little, her hand resting on my shoulder. "Sorry, I didn't think I would surprise you there. I just want you to know we do care for you, Alzi. I was hoping we could learn what things you like to do. You won't be a student for too much longer—or not all day, at least. It would be nice to know what you like to do," Ioelena asks me.

"Um, I would normally just mess around till Mommy got home," I mumble. "I would help with cleaning and fixing our clothing. That was kind of fun."

"What did you do to mess around?" Ioelena asks.

"Chase things generally," I mumble. Stupid village girl running around while they all learned about magic and math.

"Does your village have a lot of small animals around it or something?" Shimmer asks.

"No, we had a wall. Things like butterflies and such," I admit.

"Did you just enjoy it, or did you have a reason? You seem embarrassed to enjoy something," Ioelena says. "We aren't going to judge you. We just want to know about our wife. We all know your upbringing is going to be vastly different from ours, and we are interested in knowing how."

"Mommy was strong, and she said running around helps build strength," I say. "I wanted to help her out. I wanted to be strong for her. To help her."

"Oh dear, come here for me, Alzi, please," Shimmer says. Wrapping me up in a warm hug. "You saved her life, Alzi. You protected her and gave up so much for her. You are strong for her and continue to be. You can let it out here. I've got you. There you go. I promise you'll have her again. You'll be with her, my love."

My cries were muffled in her breasts, her arms holding me tight.

"I miss her," I whisper.

"I know. We know," Shimmer whispers back. "I'm sorry. But you'll have her again. You'll come back to her stronger than you've ever been before. But for now you can just relax and let out all the pain. I'm not going anywhere. We aren't going anywhere. Ok, my love. You can just let it out."

Her hand runs through my long hair as I cry for my Mommy. Our children I can't help her deliver or raise.

I hope she got the socks I made for them.

Shimmer actually quiets down for a bit as I cry in her arms before she starts to hum some strange tune.

I pull away from Shimmer after I calm down a bit. She sneaks a kiss on my cheek before letting me go. "Feeling better?" Shimmer ask.

"Kind of," I answer.

"Good, why don't we have dessert? Then I can help you relax in the bath before you spend the night with Geta. I think sleeping in her strong arms would be good for you, Alzi," Shimmer says.@@novelbin@@

"Ok," I mumble. It would be nice to be held to sleep, and the cake is nice.

"My Lady," Aurora chimes in. "I think Shyla could teach you more about sewing and knitting if you would like. You won't always have lessons taking up all your time, and even if you open a healing practice, you would want to have some downtime outside of the time with your wives. Sewing would be a good activity to do, I think."

"Sure," I say, taking a bite out of the chocolate cake. "It is peaceful."

...

"Ready for a nice hot bath?" Shimmer asks.

"Yes."

"Good, thank you for joining us, Ioelena. I would invite you to bathe with us, but it will get too hot for you," Shimmer says, putting away the useless napkin and standing up.

"Oh, don't worry. We all felt it before," Ioelena says, standing up as well. "I'm glad to spend more time with our newest wife. Thank you, Alzi, for letting me join in for a bit. Please enjoy your bath."

"Thanks. It was nice getting to know you more," I say back. I will have to admit they are nice, and I haven't been raped yet.

Ioelena gives me a small nod and leaves with her maid. Aurora and Shimmer's maid join us, and we soon leave as well. We go down to the first floor and through the halls to the changing room.

Shimmer walks right on through, magic stripping her just as she walks through the door to the sauna. Aurora stops me for a moment to strip me as well. The two maids hang back while I follow Shimmer into the already steaming room.

"I know we cleaned earlier," Shimmer calls out. Her body is already hidden through the steam and under the water. "But I should make sure you're sparkling when you go to Geta."

"You just want to hold my tits again," I say, jumping in. "If you want to clean me, then you need to show your body."

"Please, Alzi," Shimmer begs, her hands moving to cover her body. "I know it is frustrating having me hide my body. But I have my reasons. None of them are to trick you or anything. I just need to be ok. For safety."

"How is hiding your body a safety thing? Is it going to blind me or something?"

"No, I'm not that pretty. That little problem is for the people that see you. That silky hair, beautiful wings, massive breasts, large dick, long legs, sexy tattoo, and fair skin build into a scarily beautiful body. I can't say how it is a safety thing. It would be like showing you my body," Shimmer says, snaking through the water to get behind me. "Please, Alzi. Let me pamper you like you deserve. Let me treat you like the woman you really are. The one that will have women begging just to be near you. Will you let me take care of my wife?"

"When will I get to see you naked?" I ask.

"Nine months."

"How do you know?"

"That is the maximum time. In no more than nine months, you will see me naked and do whatever you please. Use it for breeding, to look at, to serve you. However, you wish," Shimmer promises, her hands wandering over my body. Her mouth whispered into my ear. Begging to wash me like I did for so many nobles.

"Ok," I say. The only thing I know that could change in nine months is a pregnancy. But Elora was very clear that they were to not get pregnant. So what else would happen? Is that when they think I could get my mother?

I don't think much more as soapy hands rub into my skin. Washing every inch of it and being extra thorough on my breasts. Once more, Shimmer dives under to wash my legs and feet. Her hands tease the inside of my thighs before her head emerges again.

"Ready for your back and wings?"

I snap them open and let her work, floating over the boiling water and letting the heat seep in.

My eyelids are heavy when she pulls me back. My wings still stretch out as her growing breasts push into my back again. Her hands find my cock once more.

"Like last time. No looking back. Just relax and let me pamper you, Alzi," Shimmer whispers. "You can ask me to stop if you wish. Otherwise, just relax in your wife's arms and let me take care of you."

I close my eyes and let her be. I don't know why she wants to jerk me off, but it felt great last time.

Slowly, I drift off to sleep. Shimmer finds a way to relax my entire body through my dick and her soft breasts.
