An Annoyance

With the negotiations resumed with the Illusion Wizards tower, I was in a much better mood. My immovable position put Queen Mira on the back foot when it came to negotiations. I told her my bottom line, and I refused to move when it came to my family.

This was the best and only moved I could make. If I gave anymore ground in other negotiations with them, then things would sour on my political side. Especially if I was blatant, they might even replace me. The fact that I was put in charge of such an important position was technically already very controversial. Nepotism at its finest, and I knew it.

My mother got me this spot in order to let me make an achievement that allowed me to keep the position of Heir. My position should only be solidified with the upcoming war, especially if I made even more achievements on the battlefield. However, I thought that fighting prowess wasn't the best way to choose a leader I did like the achievement system the Bunny-kin had. No one could be in power without quantified achievements. Even me being Heir to the Silvermoon tower could be taken easily if one of my Siblings upstaged me.

This was also the reason I believed was the reason for the resentment from my Brother Anthoney. He was the eldest brother, and in the Empire, that would mean the title went to him no matter what. In the Beast-kin nation, that thought was a joke. Birth doesn't give you jack shit. The main reason for me being an Heir was the System upgrading my race when I was a baby. Being a rare High Magical Bunny-kin gave me an early 'Achievement.' My early strength was almost guaranteed. That didn't mean that my diplomatic fuck up with the Dwarves didn't do serious damage to my ability to inherit the throne of Silvermoon Tower, though.

Since then, I have had to make Achievements to make up for that major fuck up. It was completely avoidable and still adversely affected me. Although, To be fair to me, The boy did ask to go to bed with Mally and me. He just thought that he would be on top instead of on the bottom.

I smirked, thinking about it. My mood sobered, though, as I made time in my schedule for this next conversation. It was something that I both looked forward to and deeply didn't want to deal with. However, Anthoney needed to be put in his place or be replaced at the rate he was pissing me off.

I took the last couple of steps towards the door, and I knocked on it. I waited for the door to be answered, and after a couple of minutes, the door opened, and I started to hear a moan. I looked inside, and my Brother was railing an orange Bunny-kin woman I have never seen before. She was moaning as he pressed her against the wall beside the door.

I nodded, looking at her as she was kind of cute, and my brother obviously was doing a decent job of pleasuring the girl. He looked at me, surprised that I was coming to him instead of summoning him to my office to talk.

"What do you want?" Anthoney said before grunting and continuing to thrusting into her pussy.

His rude demeanor as he continued to make the girl cry out in pleasure was annoying, and my eyebrow twitched. "Look, I need to talk to you about your work. Invite me in, and I won't have to talk where the walls might have ears; also, I will wait until you are finished." I told him, my voice serious.

He looked at me annoyed but let the door open wider, and I stepped into the room set aside for him in the Embassy. It was still early in the morning and before he had to work. I had skipped morning activities with Emily, who wanted attention that I really wanted to give to her. It annoyed me that I had to come to talk to Anthoney before he fucked up things with the Succubi.

I moved and sat down, taking in the room. The Orange bunny-kin girl cried out, and I felt they got louder whenever I watched her. The girl was an exhibitionist; interesting, I thought, but that was all. I waited until she cried out in pleasure with a little squirt from her pussy. My brother released inside of her as I watched.

It was a weird experience for me, though. I was watching someone else, Creampie, a woman in front of me, and I don't think I watched that in this life yet. Then I remembered that I had on the Ship a couple of times. So that wasn't what was making me feel weird about it.

I decided to ignore the feeling and waited for my Brother to move her over to the showers and told her to stay out of the bedroom until the conversation with me was finished. The girl nodded, and I heard the water fall through the door. I moved my mana and Isolated the room from my ears when that was done, and my brother raised an eyebrow at me.

"What is so important that you are coming here on a day of rest?" Anthoney asked, and I nodded.

"Ah, I thought I would have to track you down, to be honest. This was my first stop, though, so I am happy to have found you easily." I told him honestly, "Beats trying to wait for you outside a lab." I finished that thought.

Anthoney chuckled at that comment. No one wanted to disturb an alchemist while they are making potions. The repercussions of that could be deadly in a variety of different ways. It was the first thing anyone living around an alchemist learns to live there. If you need to talk to them as fast as possible, you can do the best thing for everyone; to stand outside their room and wait.

This leads to everyone experiencing at some point standing at a door for hours just to be acknowledged. I knew this happened probably numerous times when I was a kid and in the heat of my love for alchemy. It was something that I had to happen to me too when I left to ask questions to some of my uncles in the Silvermoon tower too. You would sit there waiting until they finish what they are doing.

"Fair enough," Anthoney said with the chuckle coming to an end, "What are you here for, though?" He asked.

"Well, Anthoney, I need to talk to you about how you are talking with the Succubi. Especially one named Rebecca..." My voice trailed off.

Anthoney's expression changed, and I couldn't quite tell the emotion right away. "What, are you going to tell me how I should seduce women?" He asked, his tone angered.

"Well, Yes," I said frankly, "I was talking to Queen Mira; I got a complaint about you from her," I told him.

"What?!" Anthoney exclaimed, surprised.

"Do you understand why I am talking to you now?" I asked. Anthoney leaned, moved a step back, and nodded. "Good, First, Stop bothering Rebecca. I am not sure how good-looking the Succubus woman is, Although I can guess," I added, "I have been asked to ask you to stop putting pressure on her specifically." I took a breath before continuing, "I also need to bring up that you need to stop asking to get into contact with Queen Mira." Anthoney looked stunned as I told him this, "This is not because you are doing a bad job. Queen Mira is satisfied with your alchemy. She is simply not interested in changing the negotiator."

My last line came down like a thunder polt to Anthoney. It was the knowledge that I knew that he was trying to create a back door in negotiations to make his own deal. He was treading on my territory, and he knew it.

"Anthoney," My voice came out cold now, "I have tolerated your rude behavior. I have tolerated you sexually harassing succubi," That one was still a mystery to me. The Succubi love being sexually harassed, in my opinion. They were always dishing out what they received in turn. "You are pushing the limits. I am giving you one last chance now," I began to talk slower, "If I hear one more complaint about you trying to make a back channel to talk to the Matriarchs or Queen Mira. Hell, if I hear of you sexually harassing the Succubi and making unsolicited advances on them. I will send you back to the Tower. No Achievements, And a scathing review to the council talking about how you constantly questioned authority that they placed you under."

I looked at his shocked face, and he looked towards the bathroom door before looking back at me. Checking to see the girl didn't hear, I thought, It Didn't matter to me, though. My mana made sure that no one outside the two of us could hear. "Do You Understand me, Brother?" I asked.

He watched me, stunned for a time. I watched him as I could visibly see him work through his anger. But he was an alchemist, and his brain started working again. He started to understand that what was going on. He finally nodded after a couple of minutes, "I understand." He told me, and I nodded, lightening up.

"Look, You are a good alchemist, Brother," I said, trying to get closer to him. "I can understand that you are feeling frustrated about me being your boss despite being younger than you. That doesn't matter, though, and We are working towards the same goal for our nation. I want us to win the war against the Empire just as much as you. We are at the forefront of what will do the most damage to the Empire when the war starts. You understand that, right?" I asked him.

Anthony nodded, "Where are you going with this?" Anthony asked after a second.

"Think about things this way, Brother," I continued, "You are about to be a part of the development and deplorability of a weapon that will shock the continent. You will be a part of changing how war is fought in the world—destroying the ability to use battle slaves in war efforts. This is an achievement like no other. Yes, I will be a part of it. But, If you make me, I can make you lose your achievement. I can send you home; if you continue to mess with the Succubi Women, we need to use this technology. DO YOU UNDERSTAND THAT?!" This time I exclaimed. "THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE POTION DEVELOPMENT IS WORTH MORE THAN THE NEGOTIATIONS!"

Shock ran through my brother. I had to stop myself from yelling in frustration. "Do you know how angry I was to give up the Achievement you are working on?" I asked him harshly, "I was fucking pissed. And here you are, pissing on my ability to do my job. That ENABLES YOUR ACHIEVEMENT TO BE WORTH SOMETHING!"

Gears were running in his head as the smart enough brain to become an alchemist started to move into action. He looked at me horrified, and started to realize things, and I almost sighed as the gears started to click in place. "I am stupid," He said once they did click into place.

"Yes, You are," I said simply, "I will tell you two more things before I leave, brother." I took a breath, "If you put your hand into my pot one more fucking time after this. I will kick your ass back to the homeland." My tone turned colder now as I continued, "And if I get a complaint again from them and find out you are trying the same shit. I will send your corpse back to the homeland." I said, shock running through his face as I walked to the door.

"Don't make me regret giving you this last chance, Brother," I said, I paused and smirked to myself before saying as the door closed, "Hop wrong, I fucking dare you."

The door slammed shut behind me.
