Chapter 95: Royal Wedding

Epic of Caterpillar

[Day 70]

Today is my wedding with Adelle, so I woke up quite early in the morning.

Merfolk is nothing like Earth's rituals at all. There is no pope or anything like that, although the pretty dresses remain, but their designs go according to the merfolk traditions of beauty.

The dresses are made with a special fabric named [Aquamarine Seaweed Fabric], which was a beautiful green-blue color, that shines brightly. The dress is usually quite simple and covers most of the body up to my breasts, leaving my shoulders and neck uncovered.

The male usually only wears the fabric covering his fishtail, while having his whole chest nude.

To successfully complete the wedding, the men and women need to dance around a special pool which was carefully decorated with different flowers. These flowers dye the pool in various colors, making a beautiful rainbow pool.

Inside the pool, the couple needs to perform a very easy ritual of dancing that only takes around one minute, which seems to be some kind of reverence to Poseidon.

After that, both of us got some kind of crown made of seaweed and fish bones. And that's it, it wasn't as formal as I imagined it. It was quite interesting and fun.

When the wedding finally finished, we had a gigantic feast where we invited almost the entire population. It was so many people that all the chefs of the city were hired for this festivity.

There was beautiful music, performances, fireworks, and an overall amazing festival atmosphere.

I joined the feast with Adelle and decided to summon some Familiars so everyone could taste their delicious meat. I summoned Thunderstorm Phoenix, Draconic and Tundra Lions, Baby Wyverns, Fierce Raptors, Sea Snakes and Three-Headed Leviathan. These last two which I wanted to eat a lot and see if I can get any skill.

Everyone was enchanted by the flavorful meat, as most of the merfolk here have never tasted non-water creatures like birds, lion or wyverns. Now that I had the opportunity, I was able to taste the Sea Serpents and Three-Headed Leviathan to my heart content, I made several preparations, amusing the royals who didn't know about my cooking skills.

The Three-Headed Leviathan was extremely delicious, having a tender yet firm meat, which was filled with delicious juices full of flavor. I ate around three on my own, and Adelle only ate two plates, her small belly cannot handle much food, and the merfolk usually don't have [Belly] skills as they aren't technically [Beast] type of beings. Only those who are born with the [Beast] category is born with a [Belly] skill.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Oceanic Emperor of the Deeps Destructive Pressure]

[Triple Jaw Oceanic Bite]

[Sea Serpent Slim Muscles]

However, I still had to summon more Familiars as the rest of the population loved this new meat, making the chefs work against time. In the end, I alleviated the chefs work creating several flesh and slime minions on humanoid forms with the skill [Cooking].

Wagyu, Kekensha, and Yurei were going everywhere, enjoying the amazing festival and eating to their heart's content.

After more than ten hours, the festival was still going on, but things became way calmer. Adelle was quite tired so I accompanied her towards her room.

Before leaving her on the door, I gave her the [Half-Hearted Transportation Ring] as a gift, similar to the rings of my wives, this ring possessed several enchantments and an increase on Strength and Speed stat.

It seems that Adelle didn't expect such a gift, as she began to blush intensively while thanking me. When I was about to leave, she grabbed my dress while looking at the floor.

"Kireina… No, my wife… Le-Let's spend the night together…"

"Hm? Are you sure? I don't mind waiting for more if you want, there is no rush, Adelle"

Adelle became a little bit angry over my response, thinking that I was looking at her as if she were inexperienced.

"B-But I want! Aah… I-I'm a virgin, b-but I know about those things! I-I will make sure to make you feel good…"

It seems that Adelle has been lusting over my body for some time already. I didn't want to upset her as I approached her and looked her right into her blue eyes.

"Fufufu… There is no point in being so formal, we are married now… I already know that you've been lusting over my body, Adelle…"

Adelle almost fainted at my words, mostly because we were very close to each other. I decided to kiss her before she could say anything else.

"Hmm?!"

"Ah… Did you like it? That is what you wanted, right?"

"I-I…. T-That was my first kiss! Awawawa…"

I could feel that we wouldn't be able to advance if I didn't take action, so I grabbed her entire petite body with my arms as I went towards her bed.

I spent the first half of the night with Adelle, her body was very sensitive and she came several times. I liked how every time she came, her entire body would tremble on an adorable and delicate way.

When she finally fell asleep, I left some flesh and slime minions taking care of her as I went outside through the window, I met with Mady who was wearing a beautiful Kimono dress that I gave to her yesterday.

The Kimono dress was red-colored with pink flower decorations, it really fitted her appearance and maturated beauty. We had a small feast with the meat of the Familiars and then more sex until morning.

[Day 71]

Now that things are finally settled, I decided to give Mady a [Royal Title] with my new power as Queen of Aquaria. Adelle had no complaints, as she already knew beforehand about my relationship with Mady and my other wives.

I will be leaving for my Kingdom tomorrow in the morning. For today, I had some meetings with Adelle and various royals, mostly about business and the combination of both the Kingdom's treasuries.

I will leave this mostly to Adelle, alongside the Rin Sisters and some flesh and slime minions which I made exclusively to handle business-related things. I've never been good with these things, thankfully I have a lot of people that are willing to help me on this regard.

There will be a big increase in my Kingdom food and material production thanks to receiving all the goodies from the Aquaria Kingdom. We will be able to leave this place for the production of such things, alongside the take care of cattle animals. While we can fully concentrate on increasing our war potential in my castle.

I will also take around two hundred merfolk of various races, most of them being very young, as they have the most potential growth. In exchange, I will be sending a lot of my most talented crafters and cooks here. Not the Royal ones, of course, those are staying on my castle.

I may begin a more aggressive expansion of my Kingdom too while creating several roads that lead towards the Aquaria Kingdom. So weaker people can walk there without having to worry.

Anyways, the second half of the day was spent training Adelle. Wagyu and Kekensha joined on the training to make things harder for her, although I still told them to go easy on her.

I made her kill the usual Undead Soldiers, alongside evading Wagyu and Kekensha attacks. It was quite hard and tiresome for her, but she has managed to get through with minimal injuries. I also assisted in the middle of the training healing her Stamina from time to time.

After having lunch and resting, we resumed the training once again. As the night fell, Adelle had gained around 6 levels. I might begin to summon strong Undead from now on so she can gain more EXP.

Tonight, I decided to do a buffet on my own inviting several nobles alongside Mady and her trusted subordinates. Familiar's meat was highly loved by the royals, so everyone was quite excited about the buffet.

I managed to eat more Sea Serpent and Three-Headed Leviathans and gained some more skills. I have the feeling that I need to eat even more to get everything they had.

[You learned the following Skills]

[Leviathan Oceanic Aquamarine Scales Generation]

[Serpent of the Deeps Deadly Eye]

There was also the Kraken Familiar, but this strange creature was made completely out of the water, the only comestible thing that had any essence was this being [Core], similar to a golem, but made entirely of water. Because the rest was just water, I had to summon five Krakens to make the meal worthwhile. Although I'm the only one who ate them, as they were hard as a rock.

[You learned the following Skill]

[Ancient Ocean Spirit Kraken Core]

Another core… Sadly, I can't add more to my body, but I'm close to evolution, so I will save it for then.

While admiring the beauty of the Kraken core, I realized something that I could do with them.

What if I make golems? Automatized guardians that don't need food to operate, and don't have the Undead weaknesses… Well, there is a brand-new project on my to-do list.

Also, now that I don't need to synthesize things as fast as I could like before, I could use some of my Synthesis uses per day, and create new types of monsters, some that I cannot simply create with my Summoning Book, as the number of traits that a chimera can possess is limited.

Wait, what if I synthesize my own body with different things? Like, a forced evolution?

Hmm, no, it's too risky to do it with myself, I shall use some servants for that. Synthetizing summoned monsters with goblins, and see if they evolve into completely different things seems exciting.

What if I fuse a Goblin with a Baby Wyvern? Can it evolve into a Wyvern demi-human? And what about fusing it with a Thunderstorm Phoenix? A Thunderstorm Phoenix Harpy?

The only thing is that I don't want to experiment on them if it going to hurt them or permanently damage their bodies, after all, they're my people…

After babbling about these things, I decided to first experiment with Chimeras and Familiars, and then, when I was confident enough, start increasing the power of my soldiers with fusions.

Tonight, something unexpected happened, both Mady and Adelle joined on the same bed with me. I didn't expected Adelle to be as comprehensive, but I suppose she wanted to be polite with Mady's position.

At the end, I had to do with both, which wasn't bad at all, I enjoyed myself quite a lot, and the two also did. Mady taught Adelle various positions and ways to make me orgasm… Well, that was quite embarrassing, she knows my body too well, I think I underestimated her.

[Day 72]

At last, I can go back home now. I will be taking Mady with me, alongside one hundred talented mermen younglings. Most of these people are taken from poor families. Alongside the training, they will receive a house to stay, food and even a payment that they can send to their families.

Of course, they won't get a house for each one, ten can easily fit in one house.

Although Adelle will be able to teleport every day towards my castle, and I can do the same thing, she still was rather sad about it. I patted her on her cute blonde head. Her hair was very soft and smelt like flowers.

"Calm down, we will be seeing each other almost every day"

"B-But! I want you here!"

"Sigh… I will be staying here from time to time, so there is no need to worry. Understood, my Queen?"

Adelle became a little bit flustered but somehow dared to give me a passionate kiss in front of the nobles.

"O-Okay then, go already!"

"Haha, very well. Let's go"

I made sure to buy several dresses and gifts for my wives, alongside some armors and equipment right from the Old Ancestor treasury. These will also be given to my servants and friends.

-----

After the giant doors of the Aquaria Kingdom were closed, we quickly flew towards my Kingdom. Mady and the one hundred merfolk were carried on big "carrier slimes" that I created beforehand, which I granted the temporal buff of [Levitate].

All the merfolk including Mady were amazed by the outside world, the blue skies and the greenery, alongside the various species of monsters and animals we came across.

As we approached the town, I noticed that it had expanded greatly, and already was in the middle of the Blood Forest. The dangerous monster around were probably cleaned by my strong servants with ease.

The walls were also made sturdier and greater and the streets and roads were beautifully paved. The end goal of the expansion would be expanding the town through the entire forest and then make walls all around it, creating an indestructible fortress.

My wives and servants were waiting on the outside of the town, there were Zehe, Rimuru, Nesiphae with Ami's egg, Brontes, Gaby, Truhan and Celica, the Undead Team, The Wyvern Family, The Slime Family, the majority of wolves and monkeys, etc.

"Ah! Master! Little Amiphossia has been missing you!" (Nesiphae)

"Big sister, it's been so long…!" (Brontes)

"Guuuuu, Mastaa!" (Rimuru)

"Honey!" (Zehe)

"Master! I've gotten stronger in your absence!" (Gaby)

I was suddenly attacked by my wives and servant hugs, which didn't let me breathe at all.

"Uaaaghh! Let me go!"

I also had to introduce my wives to Mady, which they didn't know in person. But I've talked about her before.

However, I noticed some weird glares… Well, they will have to get used to her, I hope they still have open minds over myself getting more wives…

Amiphossia egg was still on its same size, but I noticed that she has grown quite a lot on her egg, in around ten days, she should finally hatch. She has finally grown hair on her previously bald head, she had a very long white-colored hair, and due to her blessings, her upper body was covered on tattoos.

Aaah, I can't wait to hug and play around with my little Ami…

I noticed that everyone has become stronger, I'm glad they have not been slacking off on my absence.

Zehe belly was quite big, and she told me that she would give birth in the next ten days. Other than her, the rest was still underdeveloped. Gaby belly was the second biggest but it was still barely noticeable, the twins haven't tried to eat each other, yet… Brontes child had grown into a bigger lump of light, and it seemed to be transforming into a semi corporeal form instead of a completely ethereal form. Rimuru's child was a tad bit bigger, and the rainbow pearl has grown bigger.

I can already estimate that Zehe child will be born in the next ten days, while Gaby will follow her in the next 20-30 days, then it will be Rimuru after more than 30 days, and Brontes will be the last, giving birth on around 40 days. According to Redgaria, their development varies depending on their race and strength. A Spirit is, of course, the strongest, so she will end up taking the longest to be born.

Anyways, I spent the rest of the day with my wives with Mady as a new addition to the group. I mostly showed Mady every place in town and the castle, which took almost the entire day. Afterward, we had a nice feast celebrating my return and the addition of the merfolk on our community.

Tonight, it was quite wild, having six wives now, it was certainly a new challenge altogether. But I managed to get through. Mady was surprisingly close with my wives and played around with them too, which made them break the ice and get along better.

Before sleeping, I received some messages from Alice, it seems that everything is going on smoothly on her side, a lot of nobles have been already hypnotized with the help of my flesh and slime minions. There is also a big amount of information about the Kingdom strongest knights and the Hero of Raging Winds, but I will leave this for tomorrow.
