20 More Preparations

"Alyssa we're home." T'anya said when she entered the house. I stood and walked over to the three and gave each a kiss.

"Welcome home my beautiful ladies." I said smiling.

"We think we have good news… Is Niko around?" Ly'anna said smiling.

"You didn't?" I asked. She raised her hand and had two eggs in it.

"Niko!" Misha yelled from right next to me.

"Ugh… What's with the yell…" She saw the eggs in Ly'anna's hand and screamed. She ran up to her and after taking them both started pestering her. "Where did you get these? What type of creature? Did you capture one? Are there more?" She rambled question after question and then finally calmed down.

"The creature is a 'Rucco'. They are relatively common in the plains to the south east. We happened to see one lay an egg as you called it, so we brought a few and the eggs. They are extremely docile creatures, so they are in a crate out front." Ly'anna explained. I stepped to the front of the house and heard the cawing of chickens. Sure enough, they were white chickens. When I used analyze I saw they didn't have any skills or magic, and that their stats were all relatively low.

"I'd never have believed in a thousand years I would be taking care of livestock…" I muttered to myself. I lifted the crate and carried it around the house. I had planned on making slave dorms back here, so this would just encroach on their areas. I quickly thought up a design for a chicken coop and using earth magic, created it. Next, I went into the longer grass and after cutting a bunch of it down laid it in the coop before releasing the chickens inside. I had made a long trough for water and the grass would be their food for today. They ate whatever and leftover scraps from veggies would probably be their main food source. There was about thirty in the crate, so we would have too many eggs in a few days.

"This is an interesting building." I heard Cani'lu say from behind me. "You plan on keeping the creatures inside?"

"Only till I can make a proper pen for them… They are flightless birds, but that doesn't mean they can't jump. With the two males we could easily see a decent sized increase in population in a few months so I'm thinking of having them separated until we can find a decent and easy source of food for them… Wait a minute, Misha…" I turned, and she was walking over to me.

"Yes Alyssa? What can this refrigerator do for you?" She asked. She must have heard what I was saying. I walked up to her and hugged her.

"Misha… What's going on Hun?" I kissed her softly and she still had her arms wrapped around her body and was looking down.

"I seem to only be a bit more useful than that bag on your hip." She said quietly.

"Can you give us a bit Cani'lu?" I asked the princess as I walked Misha away from any prying ears. "You are so much more than that. There are three little girls in the house right now that can vouch for that. I don't hate kids or anything, but I wasn't going to buy them, that's for sure. You are the other brain here. I need you. Niko is amazing too, but she lets her emotions dictate everything. I don't let my emotions dictate anything. You are the bridge between us." I was holding her face in my hands and looking at her and she was locking eyes with me.

"Is that all true?" She said as she let her hands fall to her sides.

"Of course. I don't have any reason to lie to you. I own you remember." I said with a smile before she smiled back.

"Of course, that's your response." She smiled as she leaned into me and I hugged her.

"Besides, I keep you around more for your ass than your ability." I added before she laughed and kissed me.

After getting her head sorted, we headed back over the Cani'lu and the coop.

"Everything okay?" She asked seeing Misha and I coming back.

"Yeah, I just let my thoughts get ahead of me." She squeezed my hand she was holding when we got back.

"So, what is your plan for these things?" Cani'lu asked.

"They lay an egg a day. Niko plans on using that to make some different foods. Outside of that, I don't know she's the expert." I answered honestly and Cani'lu looked surprised.

"You didn't discuss this all?" She gestured to the coop and the two wide two story buildings I made for the slaves.

"Not EVERYTHING needs to be a discussion. Some things are more of just a heads up." I said smiling. Now let's go get some dinner." I said turning away.

"That sounds lovely." Cani'lu replied before we headed towards the main house.

"She ate them!" Ly'anna shouted as soon as we entered the kitchen.

"So?" I was confused and looked around at everyone. "She said they were her favorite food, didn't she?" I asked.

"I thought she was going to make us something…" Ly'anna pouted. I walked over and gave her a hug from behind.

"With only two eggs it was probably not enough. Besides, tomorrow she will be able to since she will have around twenty or more." I said before I put my head on her shoulder. She kissed me softly, so I decided to take advantage. I pulled her with me and made our way to the bedroom.

"Dinner will be ready in about twenty minutes. I'll come get you!" Niko shouted after us. With only twenty minutes I didn't hesitate and slid her shirt off. I placed my hands on her tight fit stomach and kissed it. As I ran my hands and mouth down her muscly body I tugged on her shorts and then her panties. I quickly kissed her folds and she sat down on the edge of our bed. It was enormous, so I stood and after we were situated, I laid at her crotch. I kissed her and played my tongue back and forth. It didn't take long for her to climax and when she did, she took her bra off and sat up as I continued to eat. She pulled on my clothes and I quickly took them off as she helped. She reached over to the side of the bed and pulled a strap-on out and handed it to me. This wasn't one I made so I looked at her with a raised eyebrow.

"Misha…" Was all she said before I slid it on. It penetrated me, and I spit in my hand and started to stroke it to warm it up. The part inside me warmed by my body was sliding back and forth as I did this so I stopped and kissed Ly'anna.

"Ready?" I asked. She bit her lip and pulled me close. As I thrusted into her, she wrapped her arms around me and I firmly grasped her hips. I felt myself being rocked by the insert as I thrust back and forth. She started to moan, and I couldn't stop myself from following suit. I ran my lips over hers as I felt her legs link around my waist and she rocked her hips against mine. I thrust back and forth, and we climaxed together but didn't stop. I felt her nails digging into my back as I continued to thrust. My vision was blurry, and she was yelling for me not to stop. I continued to pound her, and we came again and again until there was a knock on the door and it opened.

"Dinner is ready my dears." Niko said playfully. She looked at us and smiled. "I'm sure you're having fun, but I made this food for everyone." She said as I continued to rock my hips into Ly'anna. She placed her hands on my shoulder and I slowed until Ly'anna climaxed one more time and finally I pulled out. Next Niko helped me dress like when she walked in on Misha and I. After helping Ly'anna she kissed us both and led us to the dining area. After giving her one more kiss Ly'anna took her seat next to Lori'dae and Niko sat in my lap.

"Where's Lem?" I asked as I saw he wasn't sitting with us.

"I put his food aside. He has been having fun making stuff for us out of mithril all day." Niko answered.

"Lem?" Cani'lu asked.

"Lem'tril, He is a blacksmith that lives with us." I explained. Cani'lu smiled and nodded.

"I see." We dug into our meal and it was delicious. The girls were sitting at the far end of the table and I could hear two of them complimenting Mi'a.

"Did your little prodigy cook this?" I asked Niko.

"Some of it. Everything her sisters are eating and then this." She answered as she scooped up a small piece of seasoned meat out of the dish. She put it to my lips and it tasted wonderful.

"You must be an amazing teacher." I said giving her a squeeze.

"She was so happy when I taught her about different herbs and spices. It was so cute." She said back.

"Can I ask something personal?" I whispered into her ear.

"Shoot." She said as she took a bite of her food.

"Why have you been so okay with walking in on me having sex?" I said it quietly to prevent her or anyone else from being embarrassed.

"Because I am more than likely going to be in those exact scenarios. I care about and maybe even love you. But I also care about and possibly love Misha and T'anya. Ly'anna is so damn sexy I would happily take her for myself, and Lori'dae and Lem are both so kind and understanding I can't hate them." She said all this like it was normal and then went back to eating. I gave her another squeeze and then begged for more food.

"Your cooking prowess makes me want to steal you away." Cani'lu said as she cleared her plate and started to fill it again from the table.

"I wouldn't recommend it. This one can get scary when people mess with her things." Niko said grinning.

"Sorry, you can't have her." I said over Niko's shoulder. "I've grown… attached." I said thinking it over. As Niko pretended to pout, I gave her neck a light kiss and reached out for some more food. The meal continued for a while as Cani'lu and In'tasha ate way too much and then we headed off to the bath.

"We are going to clean up. You are more than welcome to go now or later." I said as we stood to leave.

"We'll come along." Cani'lu said standing slowly. In'tasha followed suit and before long we were at the bath. Everyone here had seen the princess and her guard naked already, so they weren't shy, and we walked into the shower area and T'anya pulled me to a stool. Niko paired with Misha and that left Ly'anna with Lori'dae. We started to scrub each other down and, after explaining everything, In'tasha and Cani'lu followed suit. They didn't understand how to control the water or how the soap worked but enjoyed them once they did.

"Ahhh…" T'anya said sitting in my lap in the bath.

"This is lovely, but how does it work?" Cani'lu asked. Niko explained the monster core and the enchantment it had which caused her and Cani'lu to go on a tangent about magic that I couldn't follow. This made my hands start to wander which made T'anya decide that bath time was over. Just the two of us got out of the bath and headed away from our bedroom.

"Where are we going T'anya?" I asked. She smiled as she led me to a room and inside it was just a small bed.

"Misha didn't know what to do with this bed, so we decided to just throw it in a random room." It was a simple mattress that was just animal hair tucked between some fabric. She pulled me into the bed and kissed me. We laid in the bed making out for a few minutes. After getting a taste for each other she slowly moved herself to my waist and we started our usual battle. She moved her tongue quickly and inserted her finger. As she felt me opening up, she inserted a second. I was doing the same but not as quickly. I had always felt like our love making was too rushed, so I stopped and called out.

"We have as long as you want T'anya. We don't have anything else to do tonight…" I said. She stopped and looked at me. We were on our sides and naked and looking at each other.

"I just don't want to share you right now." She said with a pout. I got out of the bed and walked to the door. It opened into the room, so I used earth magic, so the door couldn't open and walked back to her. I sat so our faces were together and kissed her gently.

"Better?" I asked after kissing her adorable face. She nodded her head and we slowly worked our way over each other's bodies. I kept my eyes open as I traced her chest with my tongue and lips and noticed she had more freckles along her sternum. I continued for a while and she eventually laid me on my back. She looked over my body and smiled.

"Does that mean you are all mine tonight?" She asked. I nodded, and she smiled. She kissed me and worked herself slowly down my body. She explored my stomach and legs and feet. At one point she stopped and looked at me. "You have a birthmark in between your toes. I didn't know that." She kissed the inside of my foot and then went back to exploring me. Eventually we were both satisfied, and she went back to my folds. I felt her tongue slowly glide over my clit and then into my hole before it retracted into her mouth. She slipped it in and out and traced and tickled my pussy. As she did this I laid patiently with a smile. She sped the process up and using just her tongue tried to make me climax. She did an amazing job and slowly brought me to the realm of ecstasy. I couldn't be the only one receiving so I turned my body and we were sixty-nining yet again. I took things slow and flipped my tongue inside her quickly before pulling it into my mouth. I lapped her up and slowly increased my speed using only my mouth. We did this for several hours before finally rolling over and going to sleep.

"Did you sleep well?" I asked Cani'lu and In'tasha. They were wearing some clothes I had made for them and left in their room.

"Indeed, I thought since you ran off to make it, the bed would be terrible, but I don't think I have slept that well in my life." Cani'lu answered. I figured it was the case, but I noticed a few bite marks were showing from the edge of In'tasha's shirt collar.

"So? What kind of plans do you have today?" She asked.

"I need to put in a request at the Merchants guild for alcohol and I need to look for a craftsman." I answered right as Niko came out of the kitchen followed closely by Mi'a.

"Oh, a woman stopped by because of that last night but you were…" She looked to T'anya and then back at me "predisposed…" She chuckled as she set some food on the table and Mi'a followed suit. There was bacon, so I asked.

"Just how much of this did you cure?" I asked.

"Almost all of the pork belly. What else is there for that part of the pig." She said smiling and going to get some more food.

"Good morning my love." Misha said coming into the room. She was wearing a pair of short, tight, shorts today with a tight belly shirt. I eyed her up and down and she smiled. "Down girl… I was showing Le'une the basics of ballet." She gave me a kiss and Le'une slowly crept through the door.

"Rough morning cutie?" I asked her.

"I love the way she moves and want to do it..." She said entirely exhausted. I cast 'Refresh' on her and she stood back up and smiled. "Let's go again." She said now that she was energized.

"We need to eat. That spell is nice, but it can cause troubles if you stop eating." Misha answered as she pat Le'une's head and sat down near me. The three sisters sat near each other and When Niko returned this time she sat in my lap.

"Thanks for the meal Niko." I said as I wrapped an arm around her.

"You're welcome." She said back before she grabbed some food.

"This bay-con is delicious." Cani'lu said as she put more in her mouth.

"It's good, but don't eat too much. It can cause problems with your insides because it is high is sodium." Niko warned.

"So-dee-umm…?"

"It's what makes salt. It is yummy but too much is bad for you. Well I suppose that's what too much means." Niko trailed off in thought. "Anyways, just don't eat too much." Niko said smiling. "Besides, I plan on making pudding later. It will only be vanilla this time, but the guy at the merchant's guild said he could get cocoa and coffee. They are super cheap, so I can see us making bank once it comes in. It only cost one gold for fifty kilos each." Niko said proudly.

"You bought that much?" I asked. "I hope you know what you are doing." Fifty kilos was a lot and if she wanted that much fine, but it seemed like she over did it.

"I have plans for my restaurant you are gonna build me Lover." She said placing a hand on the one I was holding her with.

"I didn't forget. I need you to pick a plan so stop rushing me when I'm waiting for you." I said teasingly. She had narrowed the designs down to two but kept going back and forth.

"But I want the patio on the other one." She pouted.

"There is one on both. You just don't like having it on the second floor. I told you… We can't go more than a certain size, or it will deter customers." She pouted but nodded.

"Fine, then do that one. I like the way it looks but wanted to see the patio whenever I walked by." She said before she grabbed some food from the table.

"So, this is discussion versus heads up?" Cani'lu asked.

"Sure thing, Cani'lu." I said grinning at her.

We finished breakfast, and everyone went their separate ways.

"What are we doing today Master?" Try'alla asked me.

"I want you to get an idea for fabric. A lot of people work with it but don't understand the amount of work it takes." I lifted her into the chair and sat across from her in my shop. "I made two exact same size pieces of cloth." I reached under the table and pulled out a roll of cloth and then some shirts.

"I made this many shirts, from this size of cloth. Your job today is to do the same. If you can get within two you pass. If you can't you have to start over, but also, you have to make your own fabric." She looked nervous but ready for the challenge. I was still working on a sewing machine, so I didn't feel like working her too hard on stitching just yet.

"Can I use your tape?" She asked right away. "Thank you…" She said as I handed her the measuring tape. She measured the whole sheet and then one of the shirts. I could see she was trying to do the math in her head and after realizing how tight it would be made a quizzical face.

"No cheating. I'll be clearing the property of trees so come find me when you finish." I said as I left.

I quickly ran around the property and used my sword to cut down the majority of the trees in the lots we owned. I quickly turned the trees into logs and lined them up near the house. After I finished, I used my earth magic to make cobblestone paths up and down the area being sure to leave room for buildings. With our properties being on the edge of town I decided to put the less savory businesses in the back while the restaurant and a few other things would be in the front.

"Alyssa!" I heard Niko yell. I ran up to her and smiled.

"What's up beautiful?" I asked.

"The craftswoman is back. She is looking for you." She answered with a smile. We walked, hand in hand, back to the house and when we got there, there was a thin, dark skinned, extremely sexy woman in front of me.

"My name is Yu'lissa. I am a craft maker and saw that you were looking for one for a one-year contract…" She placed her hand out and I took it and shook.

"I'm Alyssa. I sure did do that, but I figured I would be getting a big burly guy. Not a silver haired beauty…" I looked her over before I shook my head. "Sorry, you are just gorgeous." She blushed, and we went inside to discuss the job.

"We are from another country and we are looking to make a few things that aren't found around here. Also, we were going to try to mix in a few more things for our businesses." I explained our situation and showed her a simple design for a guitar. "You will need to be prepared to work with our blacksmith Lem'tril, Niko, myself and Misha. Misha is a musician and dancer, but she is currently working with her first disciple." I explained.

"I see. I've never seen something like this." She paused and looked at me and then Niko. "Your clothes are certainly unique as well." She looked over each of the designs I allowed her to see and Niko left and came back with some cookies and tea.

"This is wonderful!" She exclaimed when she bit into the soft butter cookie. She sipped the tea and made a small moan again. "So how does the living environment work?" She asked.

"We have a workshop already built for you." I led her through the blacksmiths. Lem was busy pounding away as his two apprentices watched. I stopped and ruffled his hair before continuing.

"This would be my space?" She asked looking around. There were simple tools for wood, stone, and leather working scattered around as well as tables covered in other tools.

"It would, but I use it for my magical research as well. Sorry for the mess." Niko apologized and started to pick up.

"And I could live here?" Yu'lissa asked.

"There is a dorm back there with bunk beds, but we have a few empty rooms in the main house as well." I explained. Her craftsman skill was already eighty, but since she was almost two hundred, I wasn't surprised by that. If I could get her to work for us, I would be so happy.

"Is one year the limit or would you still need someone after that possibly?" She turned and asked.

"Shit, if you wanted to work for us forever that would be fine but let's keep it to a year for now. We don't even know if we are compatible yet…" I answered her.

"We could find out." She walked close to me.

"Not just yet." Niko stepped up. "You are a marvelous specimen, but T'anya is the one that gets the final say." She said earnestly. I raised an eyebrow and Niko smiled. "She hasn't been wrong yet has she?" She smiled so I laughed.

"T'anya is the one that gets the final say…" I said laughing still. "But I would still happily make out with you." I said with a grin. She kissed me once and I thought I tasted apples. I pulled back. "On second thought, that would be dangerous." I said as I put my hands up and walked away.

I went back to clearing the land and making roads and paths and after I finished about seventy-five percent, I went back home to take a break. I stopped in my shop and saw Try'alla sitting at the weaving machine.

"Having a hard time?" I asked.

"I was three away, but I figured out the problem. If I cut them with a small trim diagonally, I will be able to fit one more shirt in each row. If that is the case, I will make more than you." She beamed as she continued to alternate directions as she turned the thread into fabric. I had pulled two shirts out to make the task easier for her, and from what she said she would be doing the same amount.

"Just don't forget, you need to be patient, so you don't cut too much on accident." I said as I turned to leave.

"I'm gonna beat you." She shouted out the door as I headed towards the stairs.

"Go ahead and try dearie." I shouted back. She was fired up which made me grin. I could hear Misha counting in rhythm, so I stopped in. She was standing with Le'une right across from her and they were moving their arms and legs along to the count. Seeing me Misha winked but didn't stop counting or moving.

"And break." She said after about fifteen minutes. Le'une was wheezing and panting as she ran over to get water from the faucet in the corner of the room.

"What do you think?" Misha asked as she leaned into me and kissed my cheek.

"She is much more determined than when I was teaching her how to sew." I said smiling. "And she seems to be getting the hang of it." I wrapped my hand around her waist and grabbed her ass. "How is it always so firm?" I asked her before I kissed her.

"I think the line goes, I work out…" She said. I laughed and kissed her again.

"So, the craftswoman is a super lean and sexy dark elf." I said next. "She already kissed me and seems open to living with us." I looked at her and she smiled.

"Good, although it will come down to T'anya, I am not opposed." Misha said as she rested her head on my shoulder.

"Did you guys all get together and make T'anya the leader or something?" I asked.

"Her ability makes her the prime judgement of character." Misha said to me.

"Ability? I've never used 'Analyze' on her…" I explained.

"She can see someone's aura. That's why she fell in love with you so quickly. Apparently, yours is a golden aura with a black ring and the black can't get through the gold. She explained that the black would take over your heart and fill it with malice, but your aura fights it off constantly. I think it represents your optimism even after all the hardships you've had." I looked at Misha mouth agape.

"She volunteered to be the spokesperson for the other slaves and I wanted to eat pussy… There wasn't any deeper meaning behind why I picked her…" I said quietly.

"Believe it or not, she probably knows that as well." Misha said before giving me another kiss.

"I am gonna talk to that girl later." I said before turning our bodies and pulling Misha in close. I squeezed her ass as we made out and after a few minutes she pulled back.

"Back to work." She said as she walked away. I watched her butt bounce as she walked away and after she took position facing me and Le'une stood in front of her, I waved and left.

"Is there any lunch Niko?" I asked as I entered the kitchen. She was stirring something in a big mixing bowl and when I came over, she pointed at me with the spoon.

"Here taste." I licked the spoon and it was pudding.

"Pudding? Good job Niko…" I said as I wrapped my arms around her. I planted a kiss on her cheek as she continued to stir. I looked and Mi'a was doing the same thing right next to her.

"What do you think of the pudding Mi'a?" I asked.

"It feels weird but it's yummy. Niko says that it tastes really good when you let it cool down and pour chalklite on it." She stuttered over the word chocolate, but she wasn't wrong.

"It is wonderful Hun." I said smiling. I clung onto Niko as she stirred and flirted with her before she finally placed the two bowls into the magic powered fridge.

"Now that I can control temperature it is always four degrees in the bottom and negative four in the top." She said as she reached for a few more eggs. "Now for ice cream." She said as she tried to figure it out.

"Oh yeah, I have something for that." I ran over and reached into a cupboard and there was a small ice cream maker with a slot in the top. "I knew you would figure out temperature regulation, so I made this. You only need to insert a modified core for flash freezing of the cream…" I said handing it to her. "You should be able to make about two gallons at a time."

"Alyssa…" Niko looked at me and smiled. She looked between me and the ice cream maker and then after taking it from my hands hugged me. "Thank you." She said as she just continued to hug me.

"What's wrong?" I asked her.

"Nothing, you just believed in me." She said as we embraced in a fierce hug. "It felt nice to know that you prepared something for me." She pulled back a bit and looked me in the eye. She was smiling and there were tears forming in her eyes.

"Of course, I do. You may have noticed, but I watch you quite a bit." I grinned at her.

"Oh, I noticed. I just enjoy it too much to complain." She kissed me lightly before Mi'a spoke up.

"Umm… How does it work?" She was holding the Ice cream maker and staring at the slot for the monster core and opened the lid.

"You make a creamy solution with milk, sugar and a few other ingredients…" She slowly pulled away as she crouched down to explain. After she stood and grabbed a plate and gave it to me.

"Thanks Niko. I'm gonna go finish clearing and paving the property." I explained before I went to the dining room to eat.
