Arpious of the Planes

The one bandit that I left alive, tried to scurry away, but I summoned my dragon to stop him in his tracks. In my peripheral vision, I saw that his crotch area got wet displaying how scared he was.

His face was deathly pale as he stopped in his tracks. My dragon's breath was enough for him to screech like a girl. I only let out a snicker as I summoned my wolf to bring me over to him.

"I-I-I-I'm-m-m-m… s-s-sorry," the bandit stuttered.

I snickered once again at his actions. This is reality. In front of real power, everything means nothing.

"Who is your leader?" I ask.

"A-A-A-Ava! It's Ava the jeweler," The big muscular fire harpy shouted in fear.

Seems like they have no loyalty. If you can't even get loyalty from simple bandits, how are you supposed to get loyalty from an entire kingdom… Ava. I have no clue why you're doing this, but you'll die for betraying me… wait, how about we put her in prison. She'll be the guinea pig.

I smile sadistically as I expand my sensing range to as far as I can. This was pretty easy to do. My original sensing is extremely good but what happens if you try to stretch it out like a rubber band. The band gets thinner but it grows wider and longer.

My skill does exactly that. It is harder to sense things when I expand it, but if I just concentrate a little then I can double my sensing range. [Concentration] makes it even stronger and better.

Once I found who I was looking for, Yin. I activate [Grand Mind Magic] and use telepathy to tell her to apprehend Ava.

"C-C-Can I please li-"

Before he could finish his sentence I made a knife-hand and cut his head clean off. I turn my head to the massive dragon beside me and say,

"Burn him,"

I ride my wolf to the top of my castle. Instead of entering through the top, I decided to get off and dangle my leg off the side of my castle, enjoying the beautiful view as the sun started to set.

It only took about 1 hour of waiting as the sun had finished setting. Yin was slowly rising out of the darkness next to me and she was holding an unconscious Ava that didn't look much different from before.

tsk

Such a waste of potential. If she worked harder I could've given her a leadership job but she just had to go and do this.

Since night had already fallen and Aika should be bringing Hades to my room any second now, I wanted to finish this fast. Of course, I'm going to ask her where all the bases are for the bandits since throwing Ava in jail won't do much for her unloyal subordinates.

Pressing my nail into her leg, I see it twitch but I just continue to press it farther and farther until it pierces through, making her wake up instantly. She scans the area screaming in pain, only to see me and Yin, looking down at her.

"M-my queen! Is there something you want from me!?" Ava shouts.

Since Yin has [Lie Detection], I'll first confirm that she is the ringleader or if she is just a leader under a bigger leader.

"Are you the main leader of the bandits?"

Yin immediately knows what to do and activates [Lie Detection].

"Of course not!" Ava shouts once again.

Yin shakes her head side to side signaling a lie.

tsk

I lifted my finger once again and pressed my nail into her leg. It eventually punctured through, causing her to scream in pain.

"Every time you lie, you get punished," I say.

Ava nods her head profusely, jingling the jewelry that littered her body.

"Now tell me, are you the main leader of the bandits?"

Ava doesn't reply but just nods her head up and down.

"She's not lying," Yin says.

"*sigh* what a waste of potential. If you continued to work hard and maybe got my attention somehow, I would've given you a leadership position… but you instead are trying to overthrow my kingdom.

To be honest, this is the only time somebody has tried to overthrow me, but I know this is the worst fucking attempt at trying to take my kingdom. First of all, you didn't try to build loyalty with your underlings and you only used force like trying to kill me. You could've swayed my kingdoms opinion about me or grow your influence,"

"W-why are you telling me this?" Ava stutters in fear.

"Because I want you to rot over these thoughts for the rest of your life,"

"You're not killing me?" Ava says with a weary smile.

"No… you're going to rot in prison for the rest of your life. Of course, you're also going to receive the branding that we just created, I hope you're ready for the worst pain of your life," I say as I signal for Ava to be restrained.

"But before Yin takes you away to my castle dungeon… since the actual prison isn't finished yet. Let me ask you, why are you doing this? I'm curious as to why you wanted to take over my kingdom?" I ask Ava.

"W-why should I tell you,"

"I guess you want more pain," I say with a smile.

"Eeep! U-Ummm… I-I'll talk…"

"Then go ahead,"

"W-why aren't you aren't trying to expand past the [Mountain of Twilight]. Why can't we see what's past this mountain? There could be other races and places for us to explore!" Ava says with a weary smile.

"Seriously… that's it? I was planning on exploring past this mountain once all of my children had been born and are in school. *sigh* I'm so disappointed… Take her away," I ordered Yin.

"WAIT WHAT! NO PLEASE! I WANT TO SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE! I'LL DO ANYTHING! I'LL BE YOUR SLAVE! ANYTHING! PLEASE MY QUEEN! I DIDN'T KNOW! PLEASE GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE!" Ava shouts, sinking into the shadows with Yin.

"So bored," I mutter.

I was kind of wishing that she wasn't the main leader so I could have some excitement. I'll also ask her about the bandit bases tomorrow since I just remembered right now.

…

The door creaks open and I see Hades with Aika enter my room.

"Mom!" Hades shouts as he runs towards me and jumps onto my lap.

Hades had grown once again and he was now about 4 feet. Hearing "Mom" I immediately knew his vocabulary had expanded once again and I could send him to school soon.

Aika kisses me before leaving the room and Hades snuggles next to me and immediately falls asleep.

"Goodnight," I mutter before drifting off into the land of dreams.

[Day 42]

Today I woke up and saw that Hades had grown once again. But before I could wake him up, a maid came bursting into the room, shouting,

"It's Miss Homura and Miss Kumo!"

I immediately summon my wolf and pick up the sleeping Hades and place him in front of me. The wolf follows the maid as we soon arrive at my original room. When I entered, I saw that I was late and Homura and Kumo already had our children on their chest.

Once again I felt like crying but instead of happiness, I felt sad that I couldn't be there for them.

"KUMO, HOMURA! Are you alright! I shout as I enter and then sit on the bed next to them.

They were both sweating profusely and Ichika and the maids left the room. Hades had just fully woken up and was confused at what was happening. Aika saw this and just picked him up by the armpits then moving to the edge of the room.

My wives didn't respond but just reached for my hand so I let them grab onto it. I could tell their breathing was starting to calm and the babies on their chests had already woken up, crying loudly.

The one on Kumo's chest was a girl with slightly long, white, and pink hair. Her skin was a very beautiful pale white that contrasted well with her greyish pink eyes. Her pupils though were unique since they had pink X's through them.

She had wings but they looked to be made of intertwined white spider legs. They would look creepy to an outsider but I thought they looked pretty cool. Her tail was just a normal white lion tail with some pink hair at the end.

The baby on Homura's chest was another girl with slightly long, white, and dark blue hair. She had normal white skin and dark blue eyes with grey diamonds around her pupils.

She had 2 white circles on her back and sprouting from them, were wings that looked to be made from the same fur that makes Homura's tails. They were slightly fluffy but also droopy at the same time. Her tail though was a lion tail unlike her mom, and it was completely dark blue with some white at the tip.

I'll [Inspect] them later, I just need to be here for now.
