Arpious of the Planes

189 Report on Many Things

[Day 67]

Today I woke up early once again to train my daughters. Even as they complained and whined about their sore muscles, I dragged them to the bath so they can receive a massage to ease some of the tension.

Their complaints and groans of pains got even louder as my maids unloosened the knots in their backs.

My maids were struggling greatly at just pounding on one knot. In fact, they even started sweating as they dug their fingers into the tight muscles.

"Mom, it hurts," Freya says.

"You'll feel much better once it's over, sweetie, and you too, Luna. Wipe away those tears cause you're a big girl now, right?"

"I don't care. It hurts," Luna complains.

"It's alright; once this is done, we can go back to training," I say, stroking both of my daughter's hair.

They let out another groan of exhaustion before we left the bath and entered the changing room. My daughters were bouncing around after feeling most of the tension disappearing from their backs.

"Get changed," I say, trying to calm down my new vibrant, and glowing daughters.

It was as if the groans of exhaustion and pain from before had never come out of their mouths… but once they realized they felt refreshed but had to train once again, those smiles of joy turned upside down into a depressed frown.

"Report," I say to my maids, who were helping us change into more casual clothes such as pants and long sleeve shirts.

"As you wish… First of all, a report on the war. The king has managed to gather an orb-like stone called the Aether Stone. He was originally trying to find a Nether Stone, but he couldn't in the end, so he fixed his sights on an Aether Stone, which I assume is more common as he got it easily," A fire harpy says.

"Continue,"

"As you wish… Next, a report about the kingdom. The kingdom is getting slightly packed with citizens. Many of them would like your permission to expand it within the [Waterfall Hills] and other regions amongst the [Mountain of Twilight].

Of course, that is a Masters decision, and there is no rush right now, but in a few more weeks, I would request that you make up your mind as by then, we'll be running out of stocked food, space for buildings, and space for agricultural farms,"

"Hmmmmm… I was already planning to do that so tell Akio to come to me so we can start working on that… continue,"

"As you wish... please go do that right now," The maid says, gesturing for a few extra maids who weren't currently doing anything to go get Akio.

The three of the maids bow deeply before walking out of the changing room.

"Finally, Miss Aimi has brought in another stock of clothes, so we are currently sifting through them to see what's fit for your tastes. We have also put in a request for her to make some clothes for the other queens and the princes and princesses,"

"Oh, speaking of princes, where is Zehar staying? Did you give him a proper room to stay in?"

"Of course, he is currently staying in the room across from Hades,"

"Good… Have you started to expand my castle, or is it going to take some time to get everything ready?"

"We have started to expand Masters castle, but it's only been very slightly as Akio has many projects that he has to work on. Lucy has tried to tell him that he needs to prioritize Masters request, but he keeps saying he needs to be fair to his customers… Shall we force him to work on the castle?" The maid asks with a darkening aura around her.

"Don't sweat it, let him take his time… And for expanding the kingdom... try to get another construction company or business to start working on expanding this kingdom… actually, take one business and place them in each region within the [Mountain of Twilight].

They'll live there and become one of the originating citizens while also building houses and a castle for my family and me. Tell them to try and make the town or city within that region a different style than the current one.

Tell them to adapt to the environment and use it to their advantage. If there are massive trees, then either make the buildings centered around the trees, partially inside the trees or literally on the trees,"

"As you wish… If I may add one thing, your ring for Miss Treyni and you are done, Aiso is just waiting for you to collect it personally… unless you wouldn't like to go through the trouble… so we can go get it for Master," The fire harpy maid says.

Master huh? I should probably get them to call me "Mistress" and my other wives as well. Then my children will be young miss and young sir… Nah, princess and prince sound cooler.

"One of you girls can go get it, bring it for tomorrow night during dinner. Just keep it stashed away in a drawer or something…."

"As you wish,"

"Let me add something and tell this to the rest of the maids. I want all of you to call my wives and I 'Mistress' and you'll continue to call my children 'prince' and 'princess,'"

"As you wish…." The fire harpy maid says as we finish changing.

Another maid hands me my rings and my newly made necklace that I decided not to wear yesterday. And since she also handed the rest of my jewelry which some other jewelers sent over within my kingdom as a gift, I decided to wear most of them and see how I look.

"Geez, mom, you look cool as hell," Hades says, sleepily walking into the changing room with Aika.

"Oh, waking up early?"

"Yeah, we're going to need a lot of time for these next monsters, which I'm not helping with," Aika says.

"Which monster?"

"The gargantuan centipede. You know, the one with the tough exoskeleton and massive body… in my opinion, this is one of the hardest to fight with just lower-tier summons, which is why we're going to kill one.

And then once you somehow manage to kill it, resurrect that bitch and throw it against another one of its kind… That's honestly the best way to get an army of those things," Aika says while taking off her nightgown.

"Are they as strong as the Snow Drakes in your opinion, cause I think they're much weaker,"

"I said they were strong because I'm comparing them against the weak-ass skeletons Hades has currently,"

"I see… alright, well then girls, shall we continue with our training," I say to my daughters, getting a groan out of them.

My smile was full of joy, but my daughters knew the hell that was awaiting them.

Once we arrived at the training room after breakfast, I immediately took out some weighted scythes that were 1.5x heavier than the one they used yesterday.

But of course, they stretched and did a few laps around the training room to warm up as immediately using these scythes would hurt them.

"Okay, don't straighten your back while using these or while setting them down; otherwise, you'll tear something, okay?"

"Yes, ma'am," my daughters groan before bending their knees and back.

Once they gripped their fingers around the scythes handle, they jolted up and swung the scythe up, allowing it to rest on their soldiers.

"Oh, it's not as heavy as I thought," My daughters said while proceeding to practice all the moves that we did yesterday.

Sweat instantly started to drip from them as they clenched their jaws, swinging the heavy and massive scythe time over time.

They were practicing each move 100 times before moving onto the next move. This process looped until I either thought lunch was ready or a maid called for lunch.

"*sigh*... Ava, come here," I say while also using [Grand Mind Magic].

After a few minutes of waiting, Ava appeared right next to me, kneeling on one knee. She couldn't look me in the eyes after the punishment she received a while ago… not because it hurt so much, but because she ended up begging for mercy when she knew she deserved it.

"P-please punish me again. I'm sorry for begging for mercy," Ava says, head hanging in sadness.

It seems she finally got partial dagger mastery, and it seems she got rid of her jewelry… that's deserving of a reward, but I'm bored right now, so I'll take any excuse to punish my cute little Ava.

Ah, that reminds me… Alexa is still chained up.
