Chapter 234

(AN: Apologies for the delay, I did not finish editing the chapter until just a bit ago.)

As I approached the changing area, I called out to Lala and her sisters.

"What room are you guys in?", I asked.

"Room three, come on in!", Lala giggled with excitement.

I set Nuelalla on a bench outside the room, asking her to wait there for a few minutes, and left Luxion to watch over her. Taking a deep breath, I opened the door and went inside.

"Alright, what do you have for me?", I inquired, closing the door behind me.

With a confident stride, the trio stepped out, striking provocative poses their mother had almost certainly taught them. Lala was clad in scarlet, rose-patterned lace; Momo in floral green satin with lace trim; and Nana in shimmering goldenrod silk. Giving me an elegant twirl before pressing me for my opinion, I rapidly nodded my head, trying not to grin like an idiot.

'Haha... they definitely got their mother's looks, that's for sure. Aside from their occasional lack of foresight, Lala and her sisters are exactly what I look for in a partner. If they continue improving, dating them isn't out of the question.', I thought, taking a moment to collect my thoughts. "Those sets of underwear look absolutely fantastic on you. Whoever you end up marrying will be one happy man!"

"Hehe, well… We would be more than happy to have you be that man.", Momo stated, wiggling her butt in excitement. "If you want, you can pin us down here and make us your- "

"Oh, hell no. That is my shtick lady!", Slaanesh snapped, bulldozing them out of the way with a powerful hip bump. "Out of my way. Let me show you how a real seductress charms her way into a man's heart."

Sending the trio tumbling, they glowered at her as they picked themselves back up. With a dismissive wave, Slaanesh struck an alluring pose, showcasing her curvaceous body and the purple satin underwear with black trim she wore. Requesting I give her my honest opinion, before biting her lower lip, I confidently gave her my answer.

"Slaanesh, I think you look stunning in the underwear you picked out.", I replied, honestly.

"Hehe, does that mean there is a chance I can- ", Slaanesh began.

"The Warp will become a tropical paradise long before I ever consider allowing you to join my household. No matter how beautiful you may be, you are still the same cold-hearted bitch that ruined three of my wives' lives.", I reminded her. "Give up on this silly game of yours, and accept it is never going to happen."

"Sorry, pookiebear, but I cannot do that.", Slaanesh giggled, blowing me a kiss. "Regardless of what you say or think, we are soulmates destined to be together forever. I will wait however long it takes to become your wifey!"

Unamused by her nickname, I drove my fist into the top of her head. Burying her in the floor, the aroused laughter that ensued only served to piss me off more. Turning toward the door, Elma (Dragon), Ilulu, and Tohru slid in front of me in their underwear. Elma (Dragon) was wrapped up in pearlescent silk, Ilulu wore hot pink satin, and Tohru wore matte dreamsicle orange.

"Before you go, how about rating us?", Tohru requested, wagging her tail excitedly.

"Hmm…", I replied, leaning over. "Well, I think you look much better in just my old shirts, but this is certainly a close second. I think I will buy them for you just so I can see you wear them back home."

"Hehe! Thank you-", Tohru started to say. "Wait a minute!! Are you suggesting what I think you are?"

Nodding in confirmation, this was as good a moment as any to take the next step in our relationship. Having already shared a bed, taken showers, and gone on family dates with me, this was the logical next step. Pouncing on me, the three dragonesses began to cry and laugh at the same time.

"Things are going to be different around here from now on, Elma (Dragon), Ilulu, and Tohru. As the potential wives of a high-ranking nobleman, you will need to carry yourselves accordingly. If you are not careful, your actions could negatively impact the family's public standing.", Lucoa informed them, giving her friends a warm smile. 'I suppose this makes the four of us sisters now.'

"We will do our utmost not to drag you down, Victor!", Ilulu swore as they let go of me.

"Go ahead and pick out a few more sets of lingerie. My treat.", I said, moving toward the door. "Oh, and Loki, I like you a lot better without your usual gaudy trimmings. They really subtract from your natural, ethereal beauty."

Shooting me a nervous glance from the back of the room, Loki was shocked I had even noticed her. Wearing semi-transparent, black lace, the Aesir goddess looked far more alluring than normal. If she were less of a bitch, I would readily make a pass at her.

"…thank you…", Loki mumbled, unused to receiving such compliments. 'I understand why his lovers relish his attention. This feeling… It… It feels rather nice.'

Hesitantly posing for me, I gave her a smile and thumbs up as I walked out the door.

---3rd Person POV, Holfort Capital---

Returning home earlier than expected, Julius and his friends confidently strode off their ship, swelling with pride. Having received a hefty sum from the guild for setting a new record, they were eager to spend the money on equipment upgrades and hot baths. Heading toward the nicest inn in the capital, Brad halted the group when he noticed a young girl wandering around the docks aimlessly.

"Chris, you are the most well-read among us. That child over there, is she from the Dragon Tribe?", Brad questioned, pointing toward her. "Those look like horns on her head, but I do not see a tail on her."

"Hmm…", Chris spoke, studying her for a second. "You are correct; she is a member of the Dragon Tribe. They are unable to manifest their tails completely until they come of age."

"I wonder why she is wandering around this place. They usually do not stray too far from their village.", Jilk remarked, before remembering something. "Wait a second, could she be here looking for her kinsman staying at Duke Stark's residence?"

Agreeing that was most likely the case, the men took it upon themselves to extend a helping hand to the young girl. Walking up to her, Greg gently tapped her shoulder to get her attention.

"Are you lost, little girl?", Greg said, kneeling before her. "Could you tell me what you are- "

"Lady Tohru told me all about people like you. Stay away from me, pervert.", Kanna requested, grabbing his forearm and electrocuting him.

Convulsing uncontrollably, Greg fell to the ground as smoke began to billow from his mouth. Fearing the worst, his friends rushed over to administer a healing potion. While they frantically took care of him, the young dragoness began to wander away from them. Observing this from the edge of his vision, Brad begged her to pause for a moment.

"Young lady, you came to the capital looking for your kinsman, did you not?", Brad questioned.

"Mhmm.", the dragoness responded, nodding her head in confirmation. "I came here to find Lady Ilulu and Lady Tohru. Do you know them?"

"I do not recall their names, but five of your kinsmen are staying at Duke Stark's residence at the edge of the city.", Chris informed her, pointing to a speck off in the distance. "It will take you two hours to reach the residence by foot, so I recommend taking a carriage. Do you have any money for the fare?"

Turning out her pocket, only crumbs and lint fell out. Unsure how the child managed to get this far without any money, the men felt obligated to escort her to Victor's home. Taking the young girl by the hand, Julius led the group out to the main road to hail a carriage. Asking the coachman to take them to the Stark residence, he paid the man in advance for the six of them.

"Ladies first.", Brad insisted, opening the door for the dragoness.

Struggling to climb the steep steps, Jilk picked her up and set her down inside. As the five of them were about to climb in, a group of guards asked them to wait a moment.

"Hold on a moment, gentleman.", Guard 1 ordered. "We received several reports of a young girl wandering around the port alone. The young lady there fits the description in the reports. Is she connected to you in some way?"

"No, sir. We only happened upon her after disembarking our ship. She apparently came to the capital looking for some of her kinsmen. We are well acquainted with them, so we decided to escort her there.", Julius answered, truthfully.

"Uh huh…", Guard 1 replied, skeptical of their intentions. "Let's see some identification, please."

Presenting their Guild IDs, the guards took them and carefully inspected them for signs of tampering. Satisfied the IDs were authentic, they compared their names to a list of current outstanding bounties.

"Alright, you are free to go.", Guard 1 spoke, handing their papers back. "Apologies for scrutinizing you, but there are many sickos hiding here in the capital."

"No need to apologize.", Brad insisted. "You were simply doing your due diligence to keep the capital safe."

"Thank you for the understanding. Have a nice day!", Guard 2 replied, turning to the young girl. "In the future, should you get lost again, just look for a city guardsman. We will contact your guardian for you or get you to where you are headed."

Bowing her head respectfully to them, the dragoness thanked them for their help. Jumping onto the seat, she motioned for Julius and company to get in so they could get underway.
