Chapter 1288: Embers

Chuckling softly, the Queen turned back to the garden and admired the gorgeous array of flowers as she waited for Renna to eventually say "It’s... It’s not that, Luteia...", her voice coming out a little small as she wrung out her hands like a child who was trying to convince someone they weren’t that bad.

"I understand, Renna, I really do, and again, you needn’t worry about me doing something because of this. I am going to be honest with you, like I always was when we were together; the thought of you being in someone else’s bed does make me a little jealous, because I can recall a time where you were practically only mine."

I also had to admit that this entire conversation was making me feel a little sour since now I had to not only deal with Renna’s deepening affection with Lady Aziza - something I was a little comfortable with yet still felt my heart clenching inside of my chest - but also the history between her and the Queen.

Someone who had once been just as deeply intimate with Renna as I was now, and someone who had been all but married to the perfect red haired woman that was clasping her hands and shuffling from side to side. 𝒻𝑟ℯℯ

"Now, the real reason I desired a bit of privacy was to ensure that everything was alright between you, between us, and also to ask if there is anything I should be informed about in regards to the... ’negotiations’ that have already occurred..?"

That made Renna blush deeply as Lady Aziza took a step forwards, her domineering physique casting a bit of a shadow across both the Duchess and the Queen as she answered "The negotiations went wonderfully. I look forwards to having a deep relationship with the Queendom going forwards, especially now that Renna is carrying my cub. Astra as well, of course."

The Queen raised a brow at that and gave us both a smirk as she said "Of course. The one time I had my hands on Miss Astra I was absolutely determined to have as much of her as I could. That offer remains, by the way. If you ever have a few months where you are free, Miss Astra, I would very much enjoy housing you here in the Palace and siring a few more Princesses with you."

I just gave her a small smile and kept quiet, letting those with the established power do the talking... mainly because I was far too busy admiring Renna’s constant need to look so damn sexy as well as reading the three of them from the side, making my judgements ’privately’.

"I shan’t question how you managed this miracle, Renna, but do believe I am genuinely happy for you. I have heard the rumors that this isn’t the first, and I suspect Miss Astra has much to do with both those rumors as well as this situation.

It certainly was what ended up driving us apart, and to this day I regret not spending more time and resources searching for a solution, but I shall believe that this was the will of more powerful Goddesses that wished to see you and Miss Astra together."

Renna glanced at me, her face red and her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions that made me snicker as I nodded in agreement, holding back the urge to inform the Queen that it was indeed the will of some very strong Goddesses that I met and ’stole’ Renna from her permanently.

"Now, I understand that a union of blood is a strong one, but it is a union between a Duchess and you, Lady Merneith. That means the specifics are - obviously - meant to be between the two of you, but seeing as this is my most trusted advisor, I would like to hear these terms as well. Shall we sit?"

Beckoning for us to follow, the Queen led us deeper into the gardens and took us to a more private spot that was ’walled’ by tall hedges overflowing with pretty flowers, one of which oozed a sweet scent that tickled the nose just right.

"L-Luteia..!"

"Hm? Ah, that’s right... The perks of being married to a Goddess so closely entwined with nature. Apologies, but these flowers aren’t just fragrant; their scent contains a mild aphrodisiac that many tell me is quite enjoyable."

Her smile was not apologetic at all, and Lady Aziza was quick to let out a chuckle as she said "I might be led to believe that this wasn’t an accident at all, Queen Luteia, but instead a small gambit to try and rekindle something. It doesn’t bother me at all; Miss Astra, I must also ’apologize’, but would you be a dear and situate yourself between my legs?"

This was what I was more accustomed to, and although this meant that the only one who could help the Queen with her own throbbing erection was Renna, a single look at my blushing wife ’hesitantly’ sitting beside her former lover made it easy for me to do as I was asked.

Lady Aziza’s physique meant that she wore no undergarments to hold her cock, so as soon as I crouched under her body and knelt down between her legs, I was greeted with the drooling monster that thumped against the Sphinx’s belly.

"Now, where were we? Ah, the agreement! Yes, I agreed to partially fund an exchange program that would be located in Al Baghas, so as to ensure both countries could feel comfortable sending their medical talents there.

Additionally we would be sharing our knowledge with one another whilst also furthering research that both countries would have access to, something that could lead to hundreds of thousands of lives being saved down the line."

"That is quite the agreement to reach, and I sense it isn’t the only agreement made. Renna, my dear... if I might be greedy, could you do that thing that I used to like..? Oh... oh Goddess YES..."
