Carriages and Discussions

The landing took some time, but the sailors were professional, and soon I found myself in a formal welcome of my father and Mother coming up to me with several Elders as Mira walked the gangplank with me onto the shore. They were all smiling, and I had a polite smile of my own. Queen Mira was wearing a black dress now with at least double D breasts while her dress hugged her body. Her black hair flowed down her back sensually, and I still couldn't help but wonder what her actual appearance was sometimes, as it was ever-changing.

"Welcome to the Beast-kin Nation, Queen Mira," My father said, stepping forward. His silver hair and ears seemed to twitch, and the mana around the area moved as they shook hands for the first time. I felt like some conflict was going on without words or movement. Their hands were in the handshake for a lot longer than polite before they both released at the same time. "I didn't expect my daughter to bring such a powerful illusionist back to the nation to assist us in the coming troubles," My father said with a smile, "I am greatly pleased to see you."

Mira smiled back and pulled her hand back to herself, looking over the group gathered to greet us. "I am certainly pleased with your daughter," Mira replied slowly, "She is of great interest to the Succubi race, and we need to train the next generation of women. That with the potion, it was a deal we couldn't resist. I look forward to working with each other in the future. I am sure our negotiations over the business with the Bunny-kin will be very prosperous in the near future." Queen Mira replied with a smile.

"Ah, Yes, I am excited to hear about that proposal," My father said, looking at me with a smile. "Chelsea, can you report to me what the verdict was?"

His question was a good one, and I smiled, looking over the Elders slowly and at both my Mother and father. "I have brought a Free Trade Agreement with the Demon lands and the Entire Beast lands." I told them, "As long as we show this at the Gathering, we can put in a large new Economic treaty that will allow us to gather new resources for our efforts." I told them with a large smile.

The entire group gathered smiled as they realized, in theory, what more resources meant by one of the largest nations on the continent. It was also in the Demon Lands' favor that someone took a chunk from the Empire, arguably one of the juggernauts of the continent. It was, for all intents and purposes, hurting the Empire without your own resources while you could even hire out your lower ranks to assist the side you wish to win. That would also train your own generation in what War looked like for the coming leaders.

As long as the country was based on martial power like every nation in the world, then it would be a net positive with almost no downsides. It was only when people started to expect their children to live till they died of old age that things started to get more complicated, and this wasn't a world where parents expected their children to live. Many of every species still died early, albeit much less than in my past world during the early twentieth century and earlier. All because mana was apparent in this world, and the healing technology was there. It wasn't perfect, but it significantly reduced the deaths but did not quite eliminate them.

"That is Excellent news," My father said with a smile, "Perhaps though," My father suddenly began and turned to the rest of the delegation greeting us. "We should greet the rest, and we can debrief and talk in a more private setting after allowing you all to get your land feet again and some cooked meals."

Queen Mira smiled, "That sounds lovely," Her tone was diplomatic, "Please, Show me the way," She motioned as she said the words and started a much more traditional meeting.

Over an hour went by as we left the boat behind us and started to travel toward the City of the docking area, where numerous carriages were lined up to whisk us off somewhere. Behind us was the rest of our entourage, including my women, who fell into other carriages as the polite nonsensical conversation continued between Queen Mira and my father. Soon though, my Mother and father, along with Queen Mira and Myself, ended up alone in the front carriage taking us towards Silvermoon tower.

"Ah, Queen Mira," My father said much less politely this time, "I thank you for coming all this way not only as a Head of the Tribe but also as a Father. You coming here personally and bringing resources and war-fighting power to our nation, even if technically mercenary, is a large Achievement for Chelsea. We are both happy for her because of it. It will solidify her career immensely among our people. I must, as a father, thank you for that." He finished with a smile.

"Chelsea," Queen Mira began slowly after letting his words sit in silence for a moment. "Is a great woman to be with, A little young, but I like her," She said, leaning back, "Her ideas sometimes are a little crazy, but the Free Trade Agreement was one that our nation couldn't help but want especially with the Bunny-kin in particular due to your Alchemist talents being raised. It is something that, unfortunately, our Race is not as talented in as your bunny-kin. Still, Chelsea is interesting, and we, Succubi, have been enjoying her company for the last couple of months. Along with Ralph's unpleasantness, Chelsea was a great pick, not using the normal lines of negotiation. I have heard that our Races representatives are very happy with her and were sad to see her replaced no matter how much it was necessary."

My father's and Mother's eyes widened at that, and I couldn't help but smile at Mira for those words, as it would help me in the future when making plans. My father coughed and leaned back, "Well, That is great to hear," He said, turning to my Mother, who was smiling almost ear to ear in happiness as she eyed Mira and I. "Now," he began again after another short cough, "We need to talk about the itinerary for today." he began. "First, I am sure that you would like to see some Alchemy labs in the Silvermoon tower. I will not be bringing you to labs that have our secrets as a race, but you will get to see some facilities and generally how we set them up as a small thank you for these things."

Mira's eyes widened, and a smile grew on her face, "Well, that is quite a happy thing to hear," She said with a grin.

"Yes, We know how to thank our allies," My Mother said with a smile cutting in for the first time, "Next, we will be showing you accommodations inside the Silvermoon tower. If you dislike that you will be in our power section, we will have no issues accommodating you where ever you wish in the surrounding City," My Mother smiled, and Mira nodded.

"I do not mind being inside the Silvermoon tower. It is a wizard tower that still holds its fame all over the continent as the best. I simply cannot refuse such a fantastic offer to stay in such a nice place," Queen Mira said and turned to me, "I do hope that you will help me out get familiar with the tower Chelsea," Mira said, her voice filled with lusty undertones that both my Mother and father noticed. Neither said anything about that and turned to me.

"Oh, I would be more than happy to help you," I replied, "Although I do want to see all my kids a couple of times before I do that. How are my cute children doing?" I asked pointedly, and I noticed my father bristle a little in the seat.

"They are little terrors, and their mentors are going a little crazy," My Mother said with humor in her tone. "They are lovely, just really energetic, and their mothers are having a hard time keeping track of them all a lot of the time. Many of the Wizards are happy about teaching them, and we have had inquiries about your," My Mother stopped, "Sorry, that can be for a later time," She said, looking at Mira.

Mira smiled and leaned back in her seat, "Now," Mira said, taking the reigns of the conversation, "I know it is a bit early, but I will have to ask about any preparations for the ladies to come to the Beast-kin nation have been prepared. Are we looking at a barracks situation or a more comfortable situation while the final preparations for the War are put in place?"

The question was a very important one, and this sparked the meeting change to strictly business. "That has only started in the discussions," My father said as my Mother looked at me with eyes that I understood too well and knew I would be jumped as soon as possible.

"I also have yet to report something, father," I jumped in to notify him, "I also have Devils that I signed with the representative of the Devils to higher Devil Line Breakers, and they will also need accommodation, and that may affect any preparations you make with the Succubi."

Mira looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and I wanted to apologize since I knew this would hurt her lightly in getting better accommodations for the Succubi. The problem with that would be that it would hurt me not to speak up way more than if I allowed negotiations to continue without informing my father and the Elders. If that happened, they may think I was more loyal to the Demon Lands than the homeland, which would be even more disastrous to me than anything else.

I had my kids here, and the strongest Wizards of Silvermoon tower were teaching them. If I turned traitor, they would have all of my kids as hostages and could even make them hate me. The sheer thought of that made me shiver, and I saw Mira's eyebrow raise a little higher as I actually visibly shivered in fear of that last thought.

"That is a good issue to have," My Father said with a grin as he looked at me in a way I hadn't seen before. Then turned to Mira, "Right now, we are thinking of housing your illusionists in a secure part outside the City with a town where they can enjoy themselves," My father said with a smile, "We are even stationing a large contingent of Male Wizards nearby so that your succubi will not be left to roam for themselves." My father grinned, as did Mira, as he continued, "Unfortunately, they will not be allowed to leave the area as we don't want word to spread back to the Empire that we are gearing up for War. The Gathering has yet to start, and a special session will be coming soon, but I assure you that War will be coming, Mira." My father was absolutely assured of this facet, "All the Tribes are tired of the slavers attacking our lands and stealing our tribesmen and women. But besides that," My father took a breath, and Mira was listening intently, "We will be preparing a training ground for your women and our Wizards to train together in formation and gathering many things to create this special unit. There will be bringing the elites to work with your women and eventually spreading out your Illusionists throughout the front line if that is how it works. Unfortunately, our plans have yet to meet the enemy, so we cannot guarantee how everything will place itself."

Everyone couldn't help but acknowledge that last point, as the Empire wasn't a small entity. It was feared because they were large and had a powerful army. The Beast-kin Nation feared the army but wouldn't let that get in our way of attacking the Empire. "Have you taken into consideration the events that happened recently in the Empire just a few years ago?" Mira asked.

"Yes, that is one of the reasons that we expedited our plans from years away to several months. In fact, we are surprised that it took us so long to hear about such a large movement of troops." My father said.

"You are not the only ones who were caught off guard."Mira admitted and sighed, "We were also caught flatfooted with that incident and the damage that had been done to the City. I can understand the expedited schedule." Mira said, and I was confused.

"What do you mean?" I asked. My father turned and looked at me with a stern expression, and I shrugged, "If I am to advise or plan, I need to know what happened so I can take it into account."

"That is the problem, Honey," My Mother said, "No one really knows what happened, but a large number of troops moved back towards the Border City nearest to the Beast-kin nation, and the Demon lands with no idea why. None of our spies seemed to have gotten out of the net, and we are left wondering what happened there. It seems the same happened with your Spies?" My Mother asked Queen Mira.

"Yes," Mira shook her head, "We are still investigating. It is concerning, though, but it still means there is an opening that I believe you wish to exploit."

"Yes, It seems many of the frontline soldiers were pulled back, and the border isn't as well protected." My father said, "But enough business for now," he said just as the carriage stopped, "It is time for dinner, and I hope that you enjoy our local foods, Queen Mira. I am sure if you are looking for some other attention while you eat, it can be arranged as well."

My father's smile was lecherous but wasn't wrong. Queen Mira was beautiful, and many Bunny-kin men would love to service her while they ate. "I am okay for now but am hungry. I will let you know if I need any special attention, though," She finished, and my father nodded.

We stepped out of the carriage, and a long line of carriages was behind us, and we all headed inside. Fresh food was a large priority after a long Voyage.
