Chapter 562: [Fated Encounters: Nyzzet's Labyrinth Conquest] 24/?: New Maids

Epic of Caterpillar

As I announced to the citizens about their new citizenship in my Empire, I released my aura to charm most of the people quite easily, but Yerze, the High Priest, and Goghesdum, the Elder Dragon, seemed rather resistant to it to an extent.

"A-Ah… Goddess-sama, that's…" muttered Yerze as she gritted her teeth.

"Kireina-sama… could it be possible to… arrange something before such hastened course of actions…? I am… I am sure that it would be beneficial to you" said Goghesdum.

Arrange something? What does he want to arrange…?

My brainwashing will most likely not work into him unless I move directly in front of him and insert my tentacles into his brain to perform a quick lobotomy… And I do not want to do that in front of my future citizens for now.

He's also quite useful as he is, brainwashing him into a stupid slave wouldn't be that good, his intelligence and perspicacity are rich and I would be able to put them to good use in my Empire, and also while trying to recruit the other tribes in this dungeon.

"What is it? If it can really benefit me and… my beloved citizens, then I might consider it" I said.

Goghesdum expression immediately changed from worried to relieved very obviously, he was not trying to hide his expressions at all.

"Yes! You see, Kireina-sama… I have already seen how you possess many… wives and children. You seem to be a goddess with a large heart… and it is even more intriguing to me how can you made children with your same gender, but I would not dare question the powers of a goddess… Well, what I am trying to say is that it would be beneficial to you to acquire such a high-quality wife such as the incredibly talented Yerze Hazass, my daughter and the newly crowned High Priest of our city" said Goghesdum in a pleasant voice.

"EH?! G-Goghesdum-sama?! What are you-" Asked Yerze in surprise. Goghesdum glared at her with his golden eyes and silenced them with his presence almost immediately before she was to question his decisions.

Oh? I see how it is…

This Elder Dragon knows how to play his cards even in such a situation.

If it isn't clear already, what Goghesdum wants is to acquire a high position in the new Empire where he and the citizens are going through making Yerze, the High Priest of his church and a figure similar to a Queen or Crowned Princess marry me… as long as she is my wife, she will naturally have a high position in the governance of my Empire, and because she is a 'descendant' of Goghesdum bloodline, he would also acquire a similar position.

Of course, I am the Empress of my Empire, and I could completely revoke this idea or even just reject Goghesdum right here.

However, as I glanced at the citizens, they seemed rather enthusiastic about such a union.

"Oh! Will our Goddess marry the humble High Priestess?"

"This is a wonderful idea, Goghesdum-sama!"

"What a beautiful union!"

"This union of love and marriage will make our two races more united after all"

"Does the goddess have many wives and children? She must be not simply a woman, but perhaps a divine being with both genders?"

"That must be the case… or how could she have children with other women?"

"Ooh! That is wonderful then, we might even be blessed with a child born between the union of both Kireina-sama and Yerze-sama!"

Mostly all of the population were very enthusiastic about the idea of the union between me and Yerze, and did not seem to find it bad or strange as they were naturally charmed by me while they held great respect for Yerze…

They were rather intelligent people even for normal folks, as they even figured by themselves that I had both genders through my wives and children alone. These High Lizardmen must be even more intelligent than normal humans and held great cognitive abilities.

"It seems that… the citizens agree with such union, Kireina-sama…" muttered Goghesdum.

"Hmm…" I muttered.

This dragon was cunning and rather scheming, if I get him into my good side without having to brainwash him and keep his personality like Redgaria, he will become a useful pawn and servant.

I glanced back at the nervous Yerze, glaring right into her golden eyes as she trembled a bit as a chill ran through her neck towards the tip of her thick tail. She was a rather beautiful woman, and when she saw the depth of my scarlet eyes, she flushed, making her even cuter.

"Wait for a second you giant lizard! You should ask us as well!" said Oga, roaring fiercely over not wanting to have another competitor in a new wife.

"Eh…?! I-I could swear that Kireina-sama was the one that decided things…" muttered Goghesdum.

"Yeah, she's the leader, but we are just as important," said Nesiphae.

"You should ask all of us if we would ever approve of this," said Zehe.

"You stupid lizard, don't you see that we are over twenty women? Do you think that it is easy to keep track of everyone, you filthy scaled critter?" said Nixephine with a furious attitude.

"Kireina-sama is not a tyrannical wife, she always cares about our decisions! Right?" asked Nefertiti.

"Well yes, I was actually planning on asking all of you girls first. I think I am way past the time where I was actively looking for women and have settled with what I have now… If I ever think in adding more official wives, there are many waiting for such an opportunity already in my Empire" I said.

"…Eh?!" said Goghesdum, he had thought that he put some kind of pressure over me.

"However, I have to admit that I have caught interest in her. She is strong and beautiful, and her personality seems caring and wholesome. So she should be a very good nanny to the kids, and perhaps a good mother of a future child…" I said analyzing Yerze's potential.

"Ah! T-Then…" muttered Goghesdum.

"N-Nanny?" muttered Yerze.

My wives discussed a bit as they called Yerze in front, analyzing her as if she were some type of good.

"I-It would be an honor to serve you…" she muttered as cold sweat dripped from her neck.

"She has a good posture," said Zehe.

"I like her purple scales…" said Nesiphae with a smile.

"Her personality is lacking for me, does she like to fight?" asked Oga

"Do you?" asked Brontes to Yerze, glancing at her with her bright eye.

"I-I do! Of course! I do! I love to… spar!" said Yerze.

"Hm…" muttered Oga and Brontes while nodding.

"She has a nice body, but she needs to develop it further… some sessions of hellish training might be necessary, ohohoh~" laughed Acelina.

"I want her packed with muscles," said Oga.

"I like muscles too, so I approve of this," I said with a thumbs up.

"…Eh? Is that so…?" muttered Yerze.

"Does she like blood? Ah, she would look adorable with a maid dress now that I think about it" said Alice.

"Perhaps a Butler suit?" said Jonette.

Goghesdum seemed confused over the 'inspection' or 'analysis' of my wives over the poor Yerze, but it was fairly necessary to appease them a bit.

"Mama will Yerze be a new auntie?" asked Nirah moving to my side.

"It seems that your aunties like to tease her, so it might be the case" I laughed.

Goghesdum glanced at the scene with a worried expression on his eyes…

"T-Then?" he asked, the rest of the citizens seemed just as worried.

"Well, this should be the last question…" I said as I walked slowly towards Yerze, glancing at her from above as she was a few centimeters smaller than me.

She slowly scanned my figure, reaching my large breast and glancing at them for a few seconds until she finally glared at my scarlet eyes, she was actually rather overwhelmed and flushing over the questions everyone was giving to her.

"Hm? Well, the last question is just the most simple and basic…" I said, as I moved my mouth to Yerze's pointy and scaled ears.

"Are you okay with doing it with a girl though?" I said.

"…Eh?! T-That question?! T-That should be out of the way from the start, Kireina-sama… O-Of course… if that is what it is necessary," she muttered while flushing and glancing at the floor.

"Fufufu…"

I could not help but laugh mischievously towards such an innocent response, even after maturing a few years ago, Yerze seemed like a very innocent girl regarding sexual things…

"Then it is decided… Goghesdum, your daughter has caught a nice position within the new Empire that you and your people shall belong to, in the name of the gods, of course" I said.

Goghesdum had lost hope midway through his 'struggle' but seemed to have managed to reach his goal at the end… though he seemed confused about how things turned out.

Of course, she was not simply becoming my wife out of nowhere, she will most likely begin as a nanny and a maid in the Castle, and if I even want to, she shall be raised into wife position someday, just like the rest of the girls such as Vajrara, Jonette, Sakura, Nereid, and others.

"For now, let's move into celebrations, shall we?" I said, glancing at the people as they all cheered… although most of them were confused about the turnout, they had in mind that Yerze would become my wife…

"Alright then, Yerze, how about you try this outfit?" I said, as I waved my hands and generated a Maid Outfit fitting of her size through the 'Organic Equipment Materialization and Creation Skill.

"A-A servant's outfit? But I am a High Priestess!" said Yerze.

"Well, you're mine now, Yerze, so try it out, I am sure that you would look lovely with it~," I said.

"Sigh… Goghesdum-sama, in what fate have you left me in?" muttered Yerze as she shyly took the clothes and went to change them inside the shrines around the mountain where Goghesdum rested.

After that, there was a large celebration all across the city where we served large amounts of food to everyone, mostly the meat of the giant monsters we defeated, enough to feed the whole city of over one hundred people fairly easily.

The giant reptile monsters had to be cut into smaller pieces, which were being grilled all across the beautiful, white-colored city.

Yerze's first work was to serve our family with various things with the help of the Arachne Maids, which I brought through the portal that connected my body with the one I left inside my Empire's Castle, which carried my child inside its womb.

"So, you're a new recruit? It is often rare to see a maid without over four hands… We'll do our best to teach you well" said a little, pink-colored Arachne, an adorable young woman wearing a beautiful and traditional maid outfit, Sakura, who was instructing the flustered Yerze.

"Y-Yes Lady Sakura…!" said Yerze as she carried three plates with one in each hand and the tip of her tail, she was quite good with balancing things with her tail, which had become something akin to a third arm for most High Lizardmen due to their mastery over it.

"There you go, Lady Kireina… Lady Vudia and Lady Ailine…" said Yerze with her face red like a tomato.

"Thanks, auntie!" said Vudia, digging in the large piece of dragon meat which was stuffed with vegetables and then grilled.

"I love meat!" said Ailine, devouring the large piece of meat as well… it seems like Yerze had never seen such voracious children before, even after taking care of Lizardmen kids.

"It seems that they're about to finish their plate, so please refill it for the girls," I said with a smile, as I ate a piece of juicy steak.

"Y-Yes, Kireina-sama…" she muttered, going back into the large grilling areas were many monsters were being butchered and cooked by Slime Clones and members of the Cooking Team.

As everyone was carefreely having a feast, I finished the steak and then decided to eat the rest of the Fragmented Divinity Pieces left by Begudhur's clones, they had the same delicious flavor, something like sweet seafood, but after eating many of them, much like my children and Rimuru, the flavors slowly disappeared and so did the bonuses, but I still ate it all. It seemed that I experienced the same thing as them but later… most likely because of my Uroboros skill being able to absorb more power from things I devour than the Devour that they share from my Blessing.
