Astra PoV
Looking back, I waved goodbye to my daughters and felt a bit of a pang in my chest when I noticed how sad they were, because now it wasn't just Renna and I heading into the city; it was Renna, Rhefia and I, and after having their Dama back for just a day they weren't ready to let her go yet again.
The promise that we would be back before the sun went down helped calm them a little, and thankfully the presence of their somewhat tired looking white haired sister calmed them down even more.
Shelur was also with us, but I don't think she had yet reached the same level as any of us since Renna and I provided a very clear 'thing' to the children while their Dama was just... their Dama; an irreplaceable figure that they wanted to have in their lives very much.
"We'll be back quicker if we get going, Astra..."
Gently pushing me forwards, Rhefia smiled back at them and waved too before guiding me onto the road, making me pout since I wanted to see them for a little while longer; I couldn't move away from her though so we were now on the road, and walking beside us was Renna, who looked rather... conflicted.
"It'll be alright, Renna. Nothing bad will happen, you know that."
She gave me a nod and a small smile before turning back to the road, staring at the city in the distance and keeping quiet for a few minutes before she spoke up, drawing our attentions back to her.
"I know nothing bad will happen, but I haven't really been with the Queen in private in a long time now... I always tried to keep other officials or guards with me to make sure of that, but now..."
"It'll be fine, my love. You said it yourself, she wouldn't ever do anything that you didn't want."
That made her smile again, though it was a bit of a sad one as she replied "That's what I have trouble with, Astra... I don't know what I want. So much time was spent with her, working on us... It isn't something that just goes away, and while it wasn't as good as what we have, it... holds a lot of weight."
"A weight we can share, my love. Besides, I doubt she'll be making passes at you or at me; we're meeting her with Duchess Leonisa, Fenkar and we're there to discuss Rhefia, so it should be all official and business oriented."
"And Heria - the Princess - should be there with my... ex, Giselle. I don't think the Queen is fond of familial orgies..."
"No, she isn't. I think she is one of the rare few I've ever encountered who never even entertained the idea of mating with her sisters or her daughters..."
Rhefia grinned at Renna as she said "I can see why~! Having you in her bed was more than enough, wasn't it~?", teasing the red head and making her blush, which made me grin too as I pinched her butt and added "She was~ one lucky Queen, but now I'm~ the lucky one~!"
The Nymph looked between the two of us and let out a huff, trying to act like she wasn't quite proud that we thought she was all that and then some, which of course made the journey to the gate all the more entertaining since we spent it constantly teasing her.
Somehow we made it to the gate without stopping to have sex, and although I was quite willing to rectify that we did want to get this done and over with as soon as possible, so we made our way to the Duchess' estate first to meet with her.
Fenkar was already there, lounging in a chair sipping on some liquor idly while the golden haired Lionkin dealt with some reports, the contrast between the lazy Wolfkin and the hardworking Lionkin making me chuckle.
The immediate kiss from Fenkar as she rushed on over was very welcome, and getting a firm squeeze from her was even better, especially when I watched her do the same to Renna without even asking.
"Welcome. We can depart in just a few moments... Rhefia, correct? The report said something about a Leopardkin captive, I believe..? One beholden to you?"
My wife went over to speak with the Lionkin while I approached Fenkar, peeling the horny Wolfkin off of my Nymph and immediately earning myself her arousal as she grabbed my ass and kissed me again.
"F-Fenkar..!"
"Yes baby~?"
Smirking at Renna and fondling my ass freely, the Wolfkin waited for a few seconds only to shrug and get back to sucking on my tongue, eventually pulling away of her own volition to ask "Could you blow me before we leave, Astra..?"
Right as I went to say yes Renna yanked me away and held me in her arms as she 'glared' at Fenkar, who just shrugged and flopped back into her seat like she wasn't horny anymore; walking me far away from the voracious Wolfkin, Renna sat down with me and turned towards Leonisa, who was nodding as Rhefia told her about her time at the town.
We all listened on about each attack and how it all went, the Lionkin continuing to write even as she did so before she asked rather pointed questions, likely writing the answers down to further flesh out her own report.
"Hopefully this should be well enough for the Queen. We were already looking at dropping the 'charges' sometime soon since you were back, but now that this is going to be on record and considering who we have... it makes a lot more sense to make it a bigger, proper announcement."
"Hold on, I don't want a parade or anything!"
Chuckling and finalizing a few things on the paper, the Lionkin briefly looked up to say "Rhefia, please... It wouldn't be a parade.", which made my wife nod even as she deflated a little, like she had been hoping it would have been so that she could turn it down.
"It'll just be a proper announcement somewhere in the city center, absolving you of these 'crimes' and punishing Giselle a little. Thankfully Heria has no ambition for the crown, because if she did this would be quite the stain on her resume..."
