Side Story ─ Lecia Dream

It happened after Rudel defeated Diabolos.

He was walking down the big red carpet straight towards their majesties.

Everyone was applauding him.

The birth of the hero of Altfode they all said happened.

Sitting on his throne, King Leonis and at his side was his wife, Queen Lecia.

Lecia spoke in place of the king.

"It is a pleasure to welcome you, sir hero. It makes us very happy to see you back. Before we prepare the victory banquet and present you with your medals."

"Is there any wish you want? The royal family will grant it, no matter what it is."

Rudel was getting closer and closer.

The smiling Lecia wondered if it was too embarrassing to stand in front of her.

Rudel raised his hand and his index finger dipped into her ample chest.

Rudel uttered the words...

"I want you."

"... Huh?"

Which made Lecia's heart not only beat like crazy, it also made her blush in such a way that it was impossible to think that she was an older, married woman.

◇◇◇

A half year has passed since then.

Lecia got up early as if it was any day, grabbed some folders with documents in them and calmly walked through the castle corridors.

"Good morning."

She would greet the servants, knights and ministers that roamed the palace with a smile. She even did so before things she had never seen before, like robots.

A lot of robots going here and there with building materials, documents and even doing the tasks that a servant would do.

The reason for this was simple. Rudel took over the palace.

That day he declared that he wanted Lecia, he was also fed up with what the ministers did to him.

Robots came in and peacefully took over the place.

Rudel approached the king to tell him that he was giving him up for good. Leonis looked at him with an expression and said.

"Okay. But I want an island full of beautiful young women to accompany me on my retreat."

Lecia and the others were surprised at that.

That same day the Altfode Kingdom changed rulers.

The corrupt and traitors were all captured and executed, including those who humiliated Rudel.

They all begged for mercy, but the gallows did not care about that.

Everyone thought that an era of terror had arrived, but the next day they realized that this was the best thing that had happened.

Ixion began to rebuild the capital with its technology.

Futuristic advances were everywhere.

There was even an elevator in the palace.

Lecia handed the documents to be signed to a robot, in the room where it was supposed to be for important meetings, it was Ixion's working office.

There she watched as ministers carried documents for Ixion hovering over the desk to review.

Mayer was at his side.

"Oh, with this the value of the Kingdom's currency will go up tenfold in value!"

"Of course. This place belongs to Master so it must be number one."

Lecia left watching as the scenery she knew changed in a short time.

◇◇◇

"Thank you."

Lecia was in the palace garden relaxing in one of the massage chairs that were everywhere.

A robot handed her a non-alcoholic drink but it tasted like one.

She drank it with a pleasant face.

From her position she watched as everything changed.

There were state-of-the-art airships.

Objects called appliances.

A thing called television and the internet.

The reason Lecia still wore the crown of queen was because of her family.

After Leonis left for an all-female island, the kingdom was left without a king. That left Liam as the next king.

Everyone thought a war between the two would break out, but Liam said that if he couldn't be with Erselica, then he didn't want to be king.

With that word alone he earned the hatred of the entire palace. Rudel sent him and her and his other lovers to his island to live there.

From time to time Lecia received a letter from her son, among them was that her grandson was born. Erselica after a half year would become pregnant again.

Lecia's own family ordered her to be the regent. Rudel has no education to be king.

He may have become the owner of the kingdom, but that didn't mean running a country.

Ixion runs it no doubt, Lecia being the only remaining member of the royal family had the responsibility to leave an heir.

That is, Lecia's family and ministers wanted her to give birth to Rudel's son to be officially declared king.

Of course, Lecia hated being treated as an object. Since her childhood she always dreamed of a dream life as she was a princess.

Princesses were the luckiest girls in the world according to the novels and stories she read.

She thought, being one, her life would be made of roses.

But as she grew up she realized that her dreams were childish.

Lecia stood up and went for a ride on the newly built monorail.

But she couldn't make it as she found someone.

"Ah."

It was a woman wearing simple clothes, her usually tied hair was loose.

It was Alisa, behind her were some robots carrying things.

Alisa spoke to Lecia.

"Lecia-sama, do you have some time? I'd like you to join me for tea with the others."

Lecia looked at what Alisa was holding in her arms.

She agreed only because she wanted to continue seeing the creature, Alisa and Rudel's child.

◇◇◇

"Huh, you managed to end up pregnant Alicia, congratulations."

Alisa and Lecia came to a room dedicated to tea meetings.

But it wasn't for just anyone, it was for Rudel's women.

The day Rudel took over the Kingdom, the girls took him to the rooftop and they proposed to him.

Rudel was happy, he replied that he loved them.

Alisa and Airi cried with happiness.

Lecia followed them as she wanted to see a love triangle confession.

She bit her dress in happiness.

Alisa and Airi unlike Rudel are still at the academy, but for a half year now they have not been going because they are spending their days taking care of their children.

Airi was nursing the child she had with Rudel.

While Alisa was playing with a beautiful girl taking away her toy.

Lecia was happy to see how they enjoyed spending time with their children.

She did that with Liam, but as the laws dictated, Lecia had to leave the care of her son to a nanny.

Deep down she didn't mind spending her days caring for her son.

That's why Lecia was envious of those two girls who could play with their children as well as spend time with them.

They weren't the only women at the table.

There were four more.

One of them was Ellen from Roseblaire Household.

She became one of Rudel's wives, her belly already seven months pregnant.

She was conversing with Alisa.

"Since you ended up pregnant you've stopped seeing other women as threats."

"W-Well, back then I was afraid Rudel would be stolen from me. That's why I was on the defensive."

"But now you're all in love and won't leave your daughter alone, right?"

"I-It's only natural that as her mother I spend time with her! Besides, it's not the first baby I'll have with Rudel."

Alisa said after releasing her ojou-sama mode.

The girl at Ellen's side was Sara, from Aster Supreme Kingdom.

Rudel went to that country for some reason and came back some time later with two girls.

Sara was also pregnant.

"The important thing is that now our lives are going to be happy, we are already married to the same man and we are waiting for our children to be born."

"Yay!"

Airi shouted as she started playing with her son.

The happy face of that child filled the atmosphere with a wonderful feeling.

Lecia wanted to hold him, but was embarrassed.

Alicia, who was drinking tea, finally spoke.

"A son from Rudel-san... nothing makes me happier than having the fruit of our love in my womb."

She said after touching her stomach.

"It's only been days since that sphere beside him told me. I can't believe that after a long time of doing it, it finally happened."

Alisa gave a teasing comment to her cousin.

"That's because you didn't want it bad enough."

"Airi and I both wanted it and it happened. Also..."

Alisa emphasized her breasts.

"Rudel wouldn't leave them alone before and even less so now."

The last member of Rudel's harem, Lucy, furrowed her eyebrows and puffed out her cheeks.

"It's not fair that I haven't gotten pregnant yet. And we've been doing it a lot lately."

Lecia felt a little uncomfortable in this place.

She was the only one of them all who wasn't Rudel's wife.

She was left by her husband, her own son turned his back on her, her family treats her like an object.

Lecia felt she was only good for an accessory.

At that moment, Rudel walked in.

"Girls, I just got back from the United Kingdom. Looks like those idiots won't cause us any trouble since I threatened to destroy them─"

"Huh, Lucy?"

Lucy stood up and took his hand.

"Rudel, we're going right now to make a baby, I won't be the only one without ending up pregnant!"

"Good riddance."

Airi said using her son's small hand to wave goodbye to her father and one of her future moms.

Lecia ducked her head and stayed that way all day.

◇◇◇

Night fell.

She was on the balcony watching a fireworks display taking place in the capital.

It was cold, she was going to get a coat, but someone placed one on her.

"Hello, it's too cold a night to walk around without one."

Rudel arrived, after placing the coat on her, he hugged her.

Lecia let him do it.

She felt very vulnerable when she was with him.

She felt she was a horrid woman because the boy who took over her country and removed her husband and son from the throne was a better ruler than the previous king.

With Rudel and his lost item, the future of the Kingdom was prosperous.

Poverty and economic problems would disappear forever.

Rudel told her after hugging her so tightly, her elastic breasts were squeezed.

"You have been very evasive with me since that day."

Lecia ignored Rudel. She knew that being the first man to court her, she would fall at his feet.

She didn't want that, it would be demeaning to her.

But Rudel since that day has given her his space and showed her every day giving her flowers and letters to express how much he loves her.

He would even occasionally send her drone footage of him having fun with his wives at night.

Lecia felt flattered because she knew her body was still attractive to a man.

But she didn't want to give in.

Rudel's tight embrace was so gentle that she couldn't resist it. Her husband never hugged her like that or showed any interest in her.

Lecia told him.

"You only say that because you wish to get the throne."

"No. You interest me, you are the woman I desire more than anyone else."

"The reason for seizing the kingdom was to take you exclusively."

Lecia looked him in the eye, there wasn't a hint of a lie.

"I want you by my side forever. I already have Alisa and Airi, also other girls, only my dear queen is missing."

Rudel brought his lips close to Lecia's, she stopped him.

Her face averted it as she was very flushed.

In a very childish tone she asked him.

"I-I'm an old woman. I'm sure the young girls are better than me."

Rudel took her hand away and kissed her.

It was the first time they kissed her, it was a very romantic kiss which was accompanied by moonlight and fireworks.

"Lecia, I want to make you happy. Please let me give you the happiness you deserve."

Lecia had the pupils of her eyes like hearts. She couldn't take it anymore.

She closed her eyes and brought her lips together for another kiss, before saying.

"Rudel-kun, make me your wife."

◇◇◇

Years passed and the Altfode Kingdom became the largest economic and energy power in the world.

In a rest room, there was a woman and some children.

"Mom, this is boring."

Said a blond-haired, black-eyed boy holding a ball of cloth.

"Don't say that, you have to be prepared for when your baby brother or sister comes."

"Ah, it kicked me. Mom, the baby kicked me."

Said a girl with long black hair and blue eyes.

The pregnant woman was Lecia.

Her days were spent taking care of her children and having more.

She was again pregnant.

Anxiously awaiting the birth of her new baby.

The door was opened and a man walked in. It was her husband Rudel.

"Honey."

"Daddy!"

Lecia stood up and her children helped her walk to their father.

Rudel gently took Lecia and kissed her.

He patted his children's heads afterwards.

"I came to pick you up. The others are celebrating the little ones' birthday."

"Sorry for making you come, I was engrossed in knitting her own clothes."

"Hahaha, you can tell Ixion to do it."

"No, I want to do it myself. It's our son and I want to show it my affection."

"Alright, let's go."

"Yes!" X3

Rudel took his wife Lecia's hand and together with their children they headed to where his other wife and children were.

The happiness for Lecia was so great, she woke up from her dream.

◇◇◇

"..."

She was in her bed. Everything that happened was a dream.

Turning to look around, she found Leonis with his mouth open babbling nonsense.

He reeked of alcohol and the smell of women.

Lecia got up and went to the nearest window, there, she smiled after forming a heart due to the cold weather.

"I guess dreams come true when you think about them a lot. Fufufu."

She smiled after imagining that it wasn't long to achieve that.

A dream where she could be happy like the stories she read.

Where she and Rudel could end up in that happy ending that only a girl with a field of flowers on her head like Airi or Lucy could dream of.

Lecia in short was the loveliest woman in the world and her husband lost her for being the way she is.

But that is for another story.
