As the maids and servants began guiding the guests toward their assigned rooms, Duchess Velora Livingstone and her youngest brother, Kinru Livingstone, followed Mia, Veronica, and Westeria.
The five of them walked at a steady pace until they reached the nearest teleportation portal. They stepped through it, then passed through several more portals in succession, until they finally arrived in the throne room of the ducal palace.
Once they were there, Veronica nudged Westeria and asked, "So, what do you think? Has Lucifer already returned from Ironford County?"
"What's there to think about?" Westeria replied. "Of course he has. Didn't you see him open a teleportation portal right inside Ironheart's mansion and walk through it with everyone else except H?"
Veronica nudged her again. "What are your plans for tonight?"
Westeria rolled up her sleeves while they walked. "I don't have any. I'm exhausted. I just want to sleep."
She turned the question back. "What about you? Any special plans? Are you going to sleep like me, or are you planning to enjoy the night orgies in the living hall?"
Veronica shook her head. "No. Same as you. I'm worn out. I'm just going to sleep while holding Tristian, Trainy, and Daisy in my arms."
She added with a teasing smile, "In the end, only our sultry mother-in-law is still full of energy."
Mia, walking a step ahead, laughed. "It's not that I'm energetic. Both of you are tired because you're nurturing lives inside your wombs. If you weren't, you'd be just as lively as me."
She fell quiet for a moment, then asked, "So, Duchess Velora… what is it you wanted to discuss with me?"
Hearing her name spoken so suddenly, Duchess Velora was briefly surprised, but she answered steadily. "Grand Duchess, first it was your son, and then it was you yourself who offered us a place at Westirifer's side—even knowing we are vassals of the kingdom. Your Grace, I truly appreciate the offer… but do you really believe I am in a position to accept it?"
"How should I put this… I am the Duchess of Livingstone Duchy, yet how could I make such a monumental decision—switching allegiance—entirely on my own?"
"You see, just as you are the Grand Duchess of Westirifer and the supreme power within it, Livingstone Duchy also has its own Grand Duchess: Calethia Livingstone. She is my mother and the matriarch of the Livingstone family."
"I cannot take a decision of this magnitude alone. I trust you understand what I mean."
Velora's words reached her brother and the trio of Mia, Westeria, and Veronica.
Westeria answered first. "We understand your dilemma, Duchess Velora. But you must also understand our circumstances. I know being forced to choose sides has left you in a difficult position, yet you should look at the larger picture."
"We have never forced you to join Westirifer, have we? You still have another option: simply stay out of the coming war. Is that not possible? All you need to do is refuse to support the Purefield ducal forces or the kingdom's armies in the upcoming battle. Everything can remain as peaceful as it is now."
Veronica added, "Switching allegiance is difficult, Duchess. But remaining neutral is not nearly so hard, is it? What we ask of you is simply that you do not support our enemies. If you do, even indirectly, you become our enemies. At the same time, we do not demand your active help either. We only require that you stay neutral."
"And this is not a demand we make only of you and Livingstone Duchy. We are asking the same of Duke Gelvin and Weilhiem Duchy as well. Remaining neutral should not be such a burden for you. What do you think, Duchess?"
Velora nodded. "If it is only a matter of not taking part in the coming war, we can do that, Lady Veronica. But let us assume the kingdom forces us—or pressures us—to send troops against Westirifer. What happens then?"
"Nothing will happen, Sister Velora. You are worrying over nothing."
The voice came from the corridor ahead of them. From that corridor emerged a charming boy with silver hair, neon-green eyes, and a mischievous smile. He was not alone. Two other boys walked with him, all three of them prancing forward with open excitement.
Seeing the three boys bouncing toward them, Mia, Veronica, and Westeria smiled faintly. Velora and Kinru, however, flinched under a sudden, unknown pressure.
When the boys reached the group of five, the silver-haired boy with neon-green eyes and the black-haired boy both threw their arms around Mia at the same time, calling her "Mommy" and "Aunt." The third boy—another silver-haired youth with a slightly plumper build—hugged Veronica tightly.
Watching the boys cling to the two women, Westeria asked, "Jason, Tristian, and Young Master… what are the three of you doing here at this hour?"
Her tone sharpened slightly. "Especially you, Young Master. Have you even bathed after returning from Ironford County? And what are you doing still awake at this late hour with your younger brother and your son instead of sleeping?"
The neon-eyed boy answered while still hugging Mia and playfully groping her breasts. "Wess, are you angry with me? I only came looking for Mommy and you because I have something to show both of you. I wanted to sleep with both of you tonight as well."
"As for Jason and Tristian… the two of them kept pestering me to show them that thing first."
Tristian immediately complained to Veronica. "Mom, just a little while ago, when Jason and I visited Daddy's penthouse, he was holding something that shot out purple thunder. When I asked him what it was, he hid it inside his spatial ring and ran straight here."
Jason, still clinging to Mia the same way Lucifer was, added, "Aunt Mia, Sister Westeria… Tristian is telling the truth. I saw it with my own eyes. The purple thunder that shot out of that device hit a nearby mountain and turned the entire thing into dust and smoke."
Mia patted Jason's hair and looked at Lucifer. "Luci, what exactly are you hiding from Tristian and Jason?"
Lucifer answered, "It's nothing, Mommy. Just a gun. Something like a crossbow."
Jason immediately cut in. "Liar, Big Brother! You're a big fat liar! 'Something like a crossbow'? Do you think I don't know what a real crossbow looks like?"
Tristian piled on. "Grandmother Mia, Dad is lying. That was definitely not a crossbow. Just think about it—how could an arrow from a crossbow annihilate a mountain hundreds of meters tall?"
Lucifer shot back, "I said it was a gun and that it works similar to a crossbow. I never said it was a crossbow, you dickhead Tristian."
"Father is the dickhead… humph!" Tristian replied, puffing out his cheeks.
Watching the three boys argue among themselves, Veronica laughed. "Lucifer, at least try to behave like a mature person. You are Tristian's father, and Sister Westeria is about to give birth to your daughter."
Lucifer answered without shame. "I don't want to. Even though I'm Tristian's father, I'm still younger than him. I'm only eighteen and a half—why should I act mature? And as for becoming the father of my dear Wess's daughter… I'll play with her even more. Even after she grows up and matures, I'll still remain a child."
He laughed playfully. "Imagine that scene. Actually… now that I think about it, does she even need to mature in the future? Can't she just stay like me forever? When Luseria grows up, the two of us will become the best of friends. A father who is also his daughter's friend—how fascinating is that?"
Jason joined in. "Big Brother, if you become her friend, then I'll become her friend-uncle too!"
Tristian teased, "No, no… Dad will become the dickhead father-friend, you'll become the dickhead friend-uncle, and I'll become the dickhead friend-brother. Mom will become the dickhead mother, Aunt Westeria will also become the dickhead mother, and Grandmother will become the dickhead grandma!"
Lucifer laughed even more mischievously. "You future dickhead brother-friend, how could Mommy, Wess, Veronica, and your other mothers become dickheads? Do they even have dicks? Wouldn't it be more accurate if they became pussy-heads?"
Jason roared with laughter right along with Lucifer and Tristian. "Imagine Mom and the others as pussy-heads… picture all of them walking around with actual pussies on top of their heads!"
For a moment the three boys vividly imagined the scene—then exploded into unrestrained laughter.
"Bhahaha… bhahahahaha… hahahahaha!"
"Pussy headddd… hahahahaha… heheheheh…"
"Hahahaha… they would look like complete clowns… hahahah… heheheh!"
Once he could control himself, Tristian added, "Imagine how we would fuck them if they really had pussies on their heads!"
Lucifer grinned. "Wouldn't we also have dicks on our heads then?"
Jason, still laughing, declared, "Big Brother, Tristian—watch this!"
He dropped his pants, rubbed his cock until it was half-hard, and thrust comically into empty air five or six times. Then he stopped and started bobbing his head back and forth instead.
"Instead of this…" he said, still thrusting his hips, "we would do this!"
Lucifer and Tristian laughed even harder, completely unhinged. Mia, Veronica, Westeria, Velora, and Kinru simply stared with blank expressions.
Velora looked at Mia with a wry smile. "Grand Duchess… am I hallucinating, or is this the same son of yours who ripped the spine out of Vazon's body?"
Mia gazed at Lucifer and the other two boys with pure, unparalleled adoration. "He is the exact same Lucifer you saw on the screen. But don't bring those things up right now. Can't you see how brightly my Luci is laughing? I don't think I have ever seen him laugh like this before."
Westeria added softly, "Perhaps for the first time in his entire life. Even I never saw him laugh this freely in the past sixteen years."
When the three boys finally calmed down, Mia pinched Lucifer's ear and demanded, "Brat, I just remembered—you addressed Duchess Velora as 'Sister.' Why did you do that? Don't you think that's disrespectful?"
Lucifer grabbed her hand, wincing. "Owee… owwhhh… Mommy… Mommy, let go of my ear… oweeehh…"
"Aah… Mommy, I didn't mean any disrespect. It's just that she is willing to remain neutral and doesn't want to stand against us. That means she isn't an enemy. And if she isn't an enemy, calling her 'Duchess' all the time feels too distant. So I called her Sister Velora."
Mia stroked his head. "So everyone who isn't your enemy automatically becomes your brother, sister, aunt, or uncle?"
Lucifer nodded. "Why not, Mommy? Think about it. If I started calling you 'Grand Duchess' instead of Mommy, wouldn't the distance between us grow? But when I kiss you and call you Mommy, you feel how close I am. Formal titles like Lady, Sir, Duke, Duchess, Count, Countess… they all feel cold and distant. Calling someone Brother, Uncle, Sister, or Aunt makes them feel closer. Isn't that true?"
Mia gently stroked his hair. "What you say is true, my son. But that is not how these things work. Calling someone by their title may feel distant, yet you cannot simply address anyone who isn't your enemy in such intimate terms."
"Let's look at it this way. Suppose you call Duchess Velora 'Sister,' but she does not wish to be called that by you… or her brother does not like hearing anyone else address her the way he does."
She continued, "Luci, think carefully. If some unknown boy one day walked up to me and called me Mom or Mommy… how would you feel? And how would I feel?"
Mia's words left Lucifer completely stunned for a moment.
He immediately hugged her tightly and declared with almost frantic intensity, "No. I would never let anyone take my Mommy away from me."
He turned toward Velora. "Duchess, forgive me for calling you Sister."
Then he looked at Kinru. "Sir Kinru, I apologize for addressing your sister in such a familiar way when we share no ties."
Velora nodded. "No worries. It's fine. What interests me now is the confidence you showed when you said nothing would happen even if the kingdom pressured Livingstone Duchy to stand against Westirifer. Why did you say that?"
"Duchess, I already have a plan for that exact situation," Lucifer replied. "Didn't you say you are vassals of the Lustbound Kingdom? Then when the kingdom orders you to march against us, you can simply obey. Send your knights to march against Westirifer."
Kinru looked confused. "Sending troops against Westirifer would mean we are against you… and then we become your enemies. If you already intended to fight us, why suggest neutrality in the first place?"
"Didn't I just say I have a plan?" Lucifer continued. "My plan is this: you declare neutrality right now, in front of me. Even if you later send your armies against us after pledging neutrality, I will not hold it against you. I will even ensure a safe escape route for your troops from our side. All you need to do is send them in an organized manner and notify us beforehand so we can arrange everything properly."
"By doing this, your duchy fulfills its feudal obligations without offending either side. After sending your army against us, you can still stand firm when the kingdom questions your loyalty."
Kinru narrowed his eyes. "So you are simply asking us to deceive the kingdom? On one side we send our knights to fool the kingdom's forces, and on the other side you guarantee the safety of those same knights without harming them?"
"Something like that," Lucifer said. "Decide now. I don't care whether you choose to become part of Westirifer or not. I simply do not want to see you die by my own hands. That is the only reason I am asking you to either join Westirifer or remain neutral."
With that, Lucifer took Westeria's and Mia's hands. "Mommy, Wess… it's getting very late. Let's go to bed and sleep together tonight. I prepared something special for both of you, Veronica, and Aunt Ruby… but I want to show it to you today."
Veronica laughed teasingly. "Honey, sorry to disappoint you, but your mother will not be accompanying you tonight. She proudly promised to offer her pussy to Sir Kinru."
Lucifer looked at Westeria. She answered softly, "Darling… I don't have much energy left either."
The moment Lucifer turned toward Veronica, Tristian clutched her hand tightly. "Dad, I'm not giving Mom to you tonight. Go find someone else."
Rejected by all three at once, Lucifer's face crumpled like an abandoned puppy. Mia caressed his head lovingly. "Luci, why are you so upset? After Sir Kinru finishes fucking me, Mommy will definitely come and satisfy her baby."
Lucifer frowned. "What about the present I prepared for you?" He pointed at Kinru. "And what if you break our promise and offer those things to him instead?"
Mia replied, "That will never happen, my boy. Mommy will never break a promise to her son. Don't worry about it anymore."
"And Luci… why don't you go spend the night with Synthia? Didn't she propose to you just today, and didn't you accept her as your woman?"
Lucifer nodded. "Mommy, I'm not sad, and you don't need to cheer me up. I'm fine. You can go and enjoy fucking Sir Kinru in peace. It's just that you are the best at making me ejaculate… and I've been holding back my lust since evening. I really wanted to fuck Aunt Misty, you, and Westeria tonight. But Aunt Misty is already asleep, you promised yourself to someone else, and Wess is tired. I guess today just isn't my day with any of you."
The moment he finished, Jason spoke up. "Big Brother, why don't you fuck Duchess Velora instead? On one bed Sir Kinru can fuck Aunt, and on the other bed you can fuck the Duchess and cum as much as you want."
Lucifer shook his head. "No, Jason. Duchess Velora might not be enough for me. You know making me ejaculate isn't easy. That's why I'm going to find Aunt Aria, Sister Delya, Sister Gloria, and Synthia. Maybe they can help."
Jason pressed on. "If that's the case, Big Brother… give me some of your violet pills, green pills, and booster pills. With those, I want to play a prank on my horny father."
"You know, since this morning he's been boasting about his stamina and fucked Agnes, Rowena, Catherine, Dimancy, Aunt Jamaica, and finally Sister Oriana one after another. Sister Oriana and I got so irritated by his constant bragging that we made a plan to teach that old fucker a lesson."
Lucifer immediately searched his spatial ring, pulled out a black wooden box, and handed it to Jason. "Jason, this box contains a hundred pills of each kind. Take it and teach that old fucker a proper lesson."
After giving the box away, Lucifer turned and walked off.
The moment he left, Tristian hurried over to Jason. "Uncle Jason, give me three of the booster pills. Tonight I want to fuck Mom, Trainy, and Daisy much harder than usual."
Veronica's face darkened instantly. "Jason, don't you dare give this brat a single thing. If you do, I'll have Borris secretly lock you inside the pigsty where your asshole will be offered to a bunch of horny boars."
With that threat hanging in the air, Veronica twisted Tristian's ear and dragged him away by it.
Westeria laughed in amusement at the sight. Then her eyes flicked to Kinru, whose gaze was locked on Mia's breasts and her protruding nipples. She smiled again, even more amused.
She stepped in front of Mia and looked at Kinru, who stood a few paces away. "Sir Kinru, keep your focus on me."
With that, Westeria grabbed Mia's breasts, fondled them firmly, and kissed her deeply.
"Slurpp… muahh… chuuu… slurpp…"
She forced Mia to moan like a bitch in heat. "Aahnn… uhhhmm… Weste… Westeria… uhmmm… slurrpp…"
Their kiss lasted a full minute. When their lips finally parted, Westeria's hands continued roaming over Mia's breasts. She pinched both nipples hard at the same time, then looked at Kinru with a seductive smile.
"Sir Kinru… did you see what I just did to my mother-in-law?"
Kinru swallowed. "Yes… you kissed the Grand Duchess, fondled her tits, and pinched her nipples. And I'm not going to lie, Lady Westeria… now I want to fuck you too. Damn those soft, pulpy lips of yours… aaahhh…"
Duchess Velora nodded. "Truly, Lady Westeria is beautiful. Forget Kinru—even I want to share a bed with you. Why don't you spend tonight with me and Nicole in our room…?"
Westeria's smile bloomed. "No need, Duchess. I'm not in the mood right now."
She continued, her voice turning sharp and cold beneath the sweetness. "Sir Kinru, I'm glad you like my features. But the reason I kissed my mother-in-law and pinched her nipples was not to seduce you. It was to warn you."
"I noticed your eyes locked on my mother-in-law's breasts. Sir Kinru… I am warning you politely. While you are fucking my slutty, whore-like mother… if you even try to kiss her mouth to mouth… and if you try to grab or suck on her breasts…"
"Then leave Duchess Velora or Grand Duchess Calethia—not even a goddess from heaven will be able to save your life from my husband's hands."
Having said her piece, Westeria winked at Mia, took Jason's hand, and walked away, leaving Mia, Velora, and Kinru alone in the corridor.
