Chapter 926. Oceanic War. Yasenia's Doubts.

The following day, Yasenia was on Andrea's bed with her darling between her arms. Andrea was sleeping, her face resting on her bosom. 

The dragoness loved it when her lovers rested on her body. She could feel how comforting it was for them to be skin-to-skin with her. Even Andrea, who usually didn't show her cute side, would snuggle closer and hug her while sleeping. 

Both were naked, but Yasenia's tail was very gently caressing Andrea's large, protruding belly. According to their estimations, Andrea's child was going to be due in 7 to 9 days. Therefore, her strength had started to vanish slowly. 

The dragoness kissed her forehead and pondered. 'Should I tell her to rest for the last week? I think that being in the forge can be a bit dangerous. She is losing strength and cultivation, and if one of the materials reacts violently, an accident might happen…'

Yasenia hummed as her hand gently passed through Andrea's curly hair. "Speaking of which… Andrea's hair has become darker, right? I remember that it was dark brown at first… Now it looks closer to black-colored."

Yasenia felt a small energy fluctuation and saw Ebirah appearing while rubbing her eyes. The pink-haired, adorable lobster girl illuminated the room with the reflection of her gorgeous, pearly, pink, white, and golden carapace. "Andrea~, good morning. I've finished leveling up… Hm?"

The lobster girl blinked a few times, looking at Yasenia's smiling expression. Then, her pretty magenta-colored eyes shifted down, and she saw that both of them were naked. Her face blushed as she covered her nose. 

The dragoness blinked, expecting Ebirah to cover her eyes, not her nose. "Why are you covering your nose, Little Ebirah?"

Ebirah muttered. "Mommy said that I should avoid smelling your scent after you pair with Andrea. It is bad for me."

The dragoness didn't deny it. However, Ebirah had nothing to worry about since Yasenia had already used a scent-absorbing pearl. 

Speaking of those, the girls decided to use them in prison to torture people. After all, a concentrated and enhanced amount of Yasenia's mating scent was enough to make most of their prisoners go almost insane with lust.

"Don't worry, Little Ebirah. I've used a scent-absorbing pearl. There is nothing that can harm you in the room. I promise." 

Yasenia's soft tone relaxed Ebirah, and she stopped covering her nose. She sniffed lightly, and other than a pleasant, sweet scent, she didn't feel anything else. "I see~. Thank you, Yasenia."

Yasenia laughed. "So, I heard what you said. Have you become a Level Three Legendary Core Rank Beast, Ebirah?"

Ebirah nodded with a large smile. She wanted to exclaim, but seeing the sleeping Andrea, she controlled her tone. "I managed to reach it! It was a bit hard, but I could advance~."

Yasenia patted her free side, calling Ebirah to sit down. Ebirah was a bit shy, but she saw Yasenia like a parental figure, so her naked figure didn't affect her much. 

Once by her side, Yasenia used one of her arms to gather her in her embrace, making Little Ebirah sigh in comfort. "Yasenia."

Yasenia caressed her hair gently and asked. "Hm? What's wrong, Little Ebirah?"

Ebirah asked with a tilting head. "Why is your embrace so comforting and nice? It's only a bit worse than Mommy's or Andrea's embrace!" 

The dragoness laughed gently. "Only a bit worse~? Such big praise!" 

Ebirah nodded a few times, her eyes glittering. Yasenia thought about it for a moment and commented. "Well, it's probably because Little Ebirah looks up to me."

Ebirah's pink eyes glittered. "I do! You are so strong! And you are really clever! Mommy is always praising Yasenia because your plans are really good!" 

The dragoness chuckled and commented. "That's because everyone around me, including you, is very excellent. Even if the plans are good, if the people around are not good, then they are worth less than a piece of garbage." 

Ebirah frowned. "Why?"

The dragoness hummed. "Imagine this situation. We have a square, a circle, and a triangle. I need to place each of the forms in their fitting shapes." 

Ebirah nodded, following along.

Yasenia created the imagery with energy and said. "If my plan is telling Ebirah and Andrea to place the circle, then the triangle, and then the square, and everyone follows it, the task is easy, right?"

Ebirah nodded, and Yasenia said. "But, what if there is a third person… A crab beast human." Ebirah instantly frowned. Her dislike for that race had yet to disappear. "Then, that crab beast human tried to take your piece at the same time as you instead of going for the one I told them. What happens?"

Ebirah humped. "I beat the crab into cooked seafood!" 

Yasenia giggled. "And, during that time, what happens to my orders?"

Ebirah blinked and realized. "Oh… I didn't do them."

Yasenia patted her head. "Therefore, people following the orders are as important as the plans themselves." 

Ebirah's eyes widened. "Wow! So easy to understand." Ebirah's lobster tail flopped up and down, making a slight sound as it hit the comfy bed. 

Yasenia asked. "How is your mom doing lately? Is she under too much pressure?"

Ebirah said with a frown. "She is having a bit of a problem. Although your help is saving our territory from being invaded, those crab people are really annoying and have not stopped attacking us! Moreover, the Chasm Whatever Empire is also helping them. Hmph."

Ebirah looked at Yasenia and asked. "Um… Can you help, Yasenia?" 

The dragoness hummed. "Let me think…" Ebirah nodded a few times, excited. 

Yasenia's mind was quick to gather all the information and create an imaginary board of the oceanic territory conflict. With her [War Intent] helping, her mind dissected everything swiftly and helped her predict possible outcomes. 

'Hm. At the pace the Ocean War is going, some of our allied powers might fall. The Lobster clan is relatively far from the central conflict, which is the Ocean Swallowing Mermaids and the Ocean Chasm Empire battlefield. Most of my help is going there, and now that land is governed mainly by us, the Holy Beast Empire, Forest Sky Empire, Storm Feathered Harpies, Jade Thunderbird Clan, and Sky Scale Dragon men have joined to aid.' 

Yasenaia hummed. 'Their strength is limited underwater. One expert is half the worth of an enemy of the same level, and numbers are not lacking in the Ocean Chasm Empire side. The oceanic population is several times larger than the land population.'

The dragoness continued. 'Once Andrea gives birth, I will be free and probably can go to visit the battlefield myself. Still, ten days is a long time; anything can happen. The fact that Coraline has sent Ebirah back is a sign that she is not 100% sure about protecting her. Are they lying on the reports because they fear interrupting me?'

Yasena's eyebrows frowned when such an option appeared in her mind. 'It's possible. Coraline treats Andrea like her own child. She would probably have no problem sacrificing herself in order for me to be by her side when she gives birth.'

Yasenia gently placed Andrea on the bed and stood up, draping a silk robe over her body and loosely tying it around her waist.

Ebirah followed Yasenia and asked. "What's wrong?" 

Yasenia commented. "I want to check something. Your question has made me doubt something about the frontline situation." 

Ebirah blinked twice and stuttered. "S-Sorry, I shouldn't have asked. I am going-Hmph!?"

Her words were interrupted when a giant pair of soft, white mountains squished her head between them. "Don't apologize. On the contrary, it is me who should be thanking you. Your question made me realize that I've overlooked one thing."

"Puah!" Ebirah took out her head from Yasenia's ample bosom and looked up. "R-Really? I helped?" 

Yasenia smiled gently and kissed her forehead. "You did. Thanks a lot, Little Ebirah."

Ebirah giggled. "No problem~ Hehehe. I am glad I could help you, Yasenia!"

The dragoness rubbed her chin and commented. "Remember my example with the orders?"

Ebirah nodded, and Yasenia smiled. "Come, I might be able to show you a real-life example." 

Grabbing Ebirah's hand, she guided her to her office. Once she arrived, she saw Alaia looking at documents and organizing a few jade scrolls. 

"Young Miss? What are you doing here? You should be with Lady Andrea, right?"

Yasenia nodded and approached. "I just realized something. Aren't our reports about the Ocean War situation a bit vague? I want a more thorough investigation into what's going on. Send Doriel in my flying ship. I want a complete report in a maximum of three days. Don't spare any strength to look into this matter."

Alaia frowned. "What's wrong, Young Miss? I'll immediately arrange it, but I want to know the reason." 

Yasenia patted Ebirah's head and said. "Those old seniors might be holding back information so that me, 'The young generation,' is not interrupted during such an important time."

Alaia was extremely intelligent and quickly understood everything that Yasenia implied in those words. Her eyes widened, and she quickly took out the communicator. "Doriel, stop all orders. Young Miss has an urgent mission for you. Come to the main office."

Ebirah looked at everything and saw Yasenia come closer with a stack of papers. "Look, Ebirah. These are the reports your mother sent in the last three months. Give them a reading."

Ebirah nodded. "Okay!" She sat on a chair at the side and went through the papers. 

In the meantime, Doriel arrived, and Yasenia said as she flicked a spatial ring holding her flying ship. "Go to the Ocean battlefield and investigate all allied power situations. I want a comprehensive report in three days. How many people do you need?"

Doriel frowned and thought for a few seconds. "Give me 30 maids, 200 mid-level Epoch Cores, and 1000 low-level Epoch Cores."

Yasenia commented. "Take 500 mid-level Epoch Cores and 3000 low-level ones. Also, take the maids in training and use this situation to give them a harsh wake-up call. I want a report as fast as possible."

Alaia commented. "Young Miss, but they are in the third realm."

Yasenia nodded. "I want them there as spectators of what they are expected to do in the future."

Alaia realized and instantly agreed. "Doriel, give those 160 girls all the mission details and tell them how fast we complete it." Her eyes flashed coldly. "Destroy the overconfidence they've lately gained. I want them coming back with pale faces."

Doriel's face became cold. "Understood. I'll depart immediately." 

Then, she vanished in the shadows. 

Ebirah, on the side, continued reading the reports. After finishing, she looked at Yasenia and blinked. "I don't see anything wrong with them."

Yasenia approached and sat Ebirah on her lap. "There is nothing wrong, but if you look at some of them more closely, you can feel that something is amiss. Look here, for example…"

Ebirah was guided by Yasenia for a few hours. 

Two days later, Doriel returned with results that made Yasenia want to curse. 'These old seniors care too much!' 

"MAIDS! TAINT THE OCEAN RED!"

A rumbling answer swiftly followed. 

"YES! YOUNG MISS!"
