Leaving the bitch behind, I pick out the Angel for the dance. I see servants setting up the tables for dihe dance should be a faster one just for fun. Perfect for showing off her geous golden hair. Isda is wearing a long blue dress and golden jewelry to match her hair. Short heels due trowing pregnancy. Overall a cute girl I'm excited to let run my household.

  When I take her hand, she squishes into my body to try whispering into my ear, "Honey, my belly feels attracted to your little sister. It's strange like my unborn children want to meet her."

  "I think she is Alzi's child. So they are feeling the blood call. You basically firmed my Mother fucked our soon-to-be wife. I'll try to get us near my little sister after dinner, which should calm them down. She likely wants to get to you and the few other unborn children of Alzi's here. Do you feel a draw to anyone else?"

  "No, just the princess."

  "Must all be too weak to have a rger draw. Do your best to ig and have some fun. I pn to make you the ter of attention while my Mother and sister are talking to the Duchesses. That should get the girl to run to you. We'll have to be careful of our kids running off to find their half-sisters at these parties and when traveling the city. Alzi has a number of kids with nobles and the wealthy," I say as the music picks up for the dance.

  I have to be careful with the shirl; five kids are difficult to carry. I don't o kill off my first kids before they are born. I focus more on keeping time than any special moves, enjoying spending time with my future family. Rarely will we have a ce to dand have fun.

  After the wedding, it will be a lot of work building up the territories of my supporters, tinuing to make my name known, and leveling up everyone in my house. Several maids need a lot of levels before they will truly be useful.

  Isda is like most nobles, nimble in her small heels. Twirling around and following my steps carefully. We have a rger space to work in than most do as those around us eye the golden hair flig around in their vision, matched against my red dress.

  I push her a bit faster, taking a step every beat at least, causio be out of breath when the dands with her ed up in my arms.

  "Sorry for pig up the speed. You seemed to be handling it fine, and we drew the eyes I was hoping for. Not the greatest excuse, but we only get so many ces to show off." I give Isda a short is on the cheek before we separate. "Mother has us spread out for dinner. I'll find you all again afterward. I'll o dah others besides my fiancée's, but I'll try to get with you all at least once if time permits." My other fiancées and servants have started gathering around us.

  "We know, sweety," she huffs out, still trying to catch her breath. Her dress is a little too tight in the chest it seems. Did she gain a few levels siting it fit? "We'll have the wedding to monopolize your time, or the others will, at least. I don't think I'll be able to dan a week. I'm already too tired to do another daonight."

  "Take it easy. Pregnant women never o dahe kids are more important than showing off, even if I didn't do the best job showing that right now. See you all soon," I say to the small crowd. They give a small bow, and we head to our assigables. The servants had finished setting up the tables during the st dance. Well, most of them; a few o be moved a bit ohe dance floor was cleared out a bit more.

  Twenty long tables are o aodate the other Invited. Each table seats about twenty-five people. The number of maids o serve all the food and up will be insane. Already, they are running around in a mad dash, trying to set the tables for the nobles.

  The royal table is already finished, letting Mother and my sisters sit down. I slowly make my way over to my table along with my sisters and their harems. I even find a fiancée of Arya walking over. She does have to sit at the far end, but mine aren't even wele at the table.

  "Mother, I thought that only family members were allowed at the table?" I ask as I sit down.

  "Not now. The seating chart is already decided and approved by me."

  "It's improper to have a non-royal sitting with us. I need actual reason to throw away the etiquette."

  "It roved by me. Now, just let us eat instead of talking about these silly things."

  "Several members of my house weren't given an invitatio Arya gets to have her at the royal table? Why would I be quiet about that?"

  One of Mother's wives interjects, "Dear, we have a free seat that little Angel would be good t to our table. She isn't wrong about the etiquette." This is not the way I would have preferred this to be settled. It would have beeer to force the fiao leave the table, but it is o know I just o get Mother to make decisions with her harem around to get a fairer experience.

  "Fine, call that girl over quickly. Irlo shouldn't have to wait loo eat her dinner."

  "Thank you, Mother," I say, trying not to be too unreasonable. I get up and walk over to Isda's table. I don't have to walk far; Mother could only disgrace my house so much.

  "Isda, e with me. You've been approved to sit with us at the main table."

  "Yes, honey," she says as she gracefully stands up from her chair. She has a small smile on her face as she follows me to the end of the head table. I pull out her chair a her sit down. I give her a little kiss oop of her head before walking bay chair. The sed I sit down the maids e out t us the sad.

  I give Isda a small smile to hopefully help the pirl rex at the able. She finds herself surrounded by royalty and has no friends. She's a nice girl, so she'll have no problem talking to the women around her. Not that the table had much discussion during the first course. My demand caused a stramosphere.

  Most eyes turn to the birthday girl most are seeing for the first time. I get a good look at her greenhorns, her tail flig around behind her as she picks at the small sad portion in front of her. Mother personally wiping the dressing off her cheeks.

  I have to admit it is very cute, making me wish I could immediately have Alzi get me pregnant instead of having to work my ass off to catch up to my stupid sisters.

  I bravely ask my new sister, "What are some of your favorite things to do, Irlo?" It seems to catch the little girl off guard, her head turning as she tries to figure out who talked to her. All the sisters listen in, trying to find out what my Mother's new favorite daughter likes.

  "Dear, your sister Elora asked what you like to do in your free time. Why don't you answer her?" Mother ences, pointing in my dire. Irlo follows the Queen's finger and stares right at me for a few moments before she opens her mouth.

  "Chasing butterflies, and hide and seek with the maids, the garden is really pretty, and tag, OH and I like watg Mommy practice her magic. The fire is SSSOOO pretty, different ixing!" Streams out. The st item makes all of us hate her a little bit.

  "Yes, the Queen has wonderful trol over her magic. It's always a treat to watch her. Tag would be great to py. I haven't run around the grounds for fun in quite a while," I answer back, trying to keep my jealousy out of my voice. She is just a one-year-old girl who doesn't get a ce for the throne.

  Her head turns to the side with my respohe grounds?" she asks. No way does Mother let her run around the castle pying tag. I got yelled at for walking too fast on multiple occasions! Fuck how is the Queen going so soft on this girl?

  "Do you py tag in the castle?" Adesa asks quickly, getting to the bottom of what we all want to know.

  Irlo 't answer right away as Mother starts to feed her. Well, at least she has to eat her greens like the rest of us, though having the Queen feed her in front of hundreds of the most important people in the Queendom is worth the pain.

  "Yes!" She spits out, not finished chewing what Mother fed her.

  "Irlo, what did I say about talking aing. You o have your manners for these events."

  "Sorry, Mommy."

  I don't think any of my sisters registered the following versation. Any of us would've bee out of the party, even if it was our birthday party, for that act. On top of being able to run in the castle halls we're all trying to tain er of the lectures we've received while little Irlo gets a soft voice. We all worry about asking more questions, not sure if we hahe cute little girl's extreme privileges.

  he end, Lyrei, my oldest sister, finds a question that won't have us puking up blood at the unfair treatment. "What is your favorite color Irlo?"

  "Green!" She excims, wiggliail aing her wings out. "See!"

  "Yes, that is a very pretty emerald green."

  The answer is a little vain, but what child isn't a little vain. I should try finding out Alzi's Mother's and father's scale colors. It would be iing to know if she is passing those colors down or if she make any color for her children.

  The first course is basically done; Irlo is likely the only oh some vegetables left oe. The maids start ing up while Mother walks Irlo out to the stage to give a little speech while the main course is prepared. When they reach the middle of the room, Irlo finds herself on the Queen's shoulders; the shock be seen on every face. Mhis and tinues like this is how she does every first birthday party.

  "Wele, everyone. I'm gd so many people could make it here. This is likely my st child during my reign. I've just about reached the seventy-year mark and will soon make room for the Queen. Four of my daughters are currently fighting for the position. I wish them luck. But today is about my you. A cute little dragonkin. It py surprise when I found myself pregnant again, this little ball of energy wasn't pnned by me. The Goddess obviously has different pns, and I wele them openly. She's brought much joy to my life. I'm happy to host her first event today. Bringing so many of my loyal and hard-w subjects for a night of fun. I wish we could do this type of event more, but the travel and the many hours you all put in to protect your nds in your absence is too much to ask often. So I have prepared some different activities for a normal birthday party. My daughter asked for me to do a bit of magid I thought it would be a wonderful idea to do so. It has been far too long since I've st shown off. So please let this Queen have a bit of fun tonight at my daughter's request. Now, let's get to the main course!" She ends. Walking back to the head of the table with Irlo still on her shoulders, wearing the biggest smile I've ever seen on the Queen.

  We all o lower our hate for our new sister; she just earned us a beautiful show tonight. Ohat we'll all be staring at carefully, trying to pick apart her mana usage to improve our own. My main affinity may be strength, but I still have a bit of the standard fire to work with.
