I woke up during the late afternoon. My head was slightly ringing, and my wrist was sore from last night.
As I got off the couch, I saw that Mia wasn't at her desk, and all of the leather sheets were gone. I smiled slightly, and it only got wider as I saw a note left by Mia.
"I have decided to take a break this afternoon by having dinner with some of my friends. I greatly thank you for helping me finish my work, and I am at your dispense, at any time, any day, anywhere," I read out loud.
She didn't have to add that last part… but, she's probably just saying that she would like to repay me. She doesn't have to since she's doing most work of my kingdom.
I should probably drop by once in a while, just to make sure she doesn't burn herself out. Also, so I can do some actual work for my kingdom.
As I exited the adventurers guild in my Cursed Wings form, I checked my status.

…
Oh, that's right, I need to get my new scythe. One of the maids informed me a couple of days ago that my scythe had finally been completed, but I instantly forgot… I'll do it tomorrow.
I also kind of want to see the altered biome that Zehar created. Perhaps I could let him own that land so he can run wild when he wants. But if he starts to affect too much of the [Mountain of Twilight], I'll have to restrain him.
Plus, I should probably check on Qliphoth and Yggdrasil soon. I've waited such a long time, and I swear if there isn't at least one leaf, I'm going to destroy the seed itself.
After I arrived back home, my wives were already having dinner without me. They didn't even give me as much as a glance once I sat down, ready for some food.
Are they outraged that I couldn't sleep with them last night?
"I-I'll make sure to make it up to you tonight," I say, a tear running down my cheek.
I was scared of what they might do when we're in bed. Just Homura was enough to cripple me practically, but with two more potential sadists, I'll be their slave? Urk… I don't want to do that kind of play.
I'm the queen of this kingdom, and it would be shameful to act like a lowly slave.
"Hmph,"
"You better,"
"Well… I guess I can forgive you then,"
"Such needy wives…" I sigh.
"Huh?" Aika says, finally making eye contact with me.
"N-nothing… a-anyway, how was your day? Was it fine?" I ask, trying to redirect the conversation.
The throne room had a heavy air the rest of the dinner. My wives kept questioning me if I had slept with another girl, which I kept denying.
After dinner, we made our way to the bath. I ordered some maids to massage me since my shoulders and back were extremely tense from all the sitting I had been doing.
After the bath, we changed into our nightgowns, and Homura picked up a box from the corner of the room. Kumo and Aika let out what seemed to be an evil snicker.
Once I had laid down on the bed, Homura placed the wooden box right next to me. Kumo, Homura, and Aika all reached into the box and pulled out various… things. Some thin but strong vines, a collar, leash, skimpy lingerie, and a blindfold.
Ayoooooo…
AYOOOOOOOOOO!
[Day 58]
Kill me… Just kill me now… I can't live on with the things I had done and said last night.
"Fufufufu, it was nice having Arpious at my will last night," Kumo says.
"Indeed. It was only fair since Arpious had dominated us the night before, but now we got to do it ourselves… Plus, it was nice hearing her call me 'Master,'" Aika says.
"Now that I think back on it, she was pretty cute when she started to bark-"
"OKAY! THAT'S ENOUGH! WE AREN'T DOING THAT EVER AGAIN! WE DON'T SPEAK OF THIS EVER AGAIN!" I shout, cutting off Homura.
My wives giggled at my embarrassing reaction, but I quickly changed the atmosphere inside the bath. Not the physical atmosphere, but my demeanor suddenly got serious.
"Okay, seriously though, I need to tell you girls something important. A couple of days ago, I ordered Yin to explore past the [Mountain of Twilight]. Her objective is to scout for any humans, kingdoms, or empires. Plus, if she has the time, she could fill in a map," I say, crossing my arms.

"Seems we're going to be having some fun," Aika says.
"Don't underestimate your opponent's girls. We don't know if our Kingdom is on the smaller or larger size… which is why I assume Arpious had sent Ina to go scout?" Kumo says, shifting her eyes towards me.
"Correct. I also need your help in forming individual armies. Before, we had one giant one which was hard to maintain, and with the sudden burst in population within our kingdom, we'll need to create separate armies," I say.
"I agree. That will also help with strategizing," Homura says.
"Do I need to help? I can create my army by just being on the battlefield," Aika says.
"You don't need your army, but you should still help organize the armies and help select commanders. Arpious, how many individual armies or divisions do you want?" Kumo says.
"Hmmm… good question. What do you think? You're the smartest out of the 4 of us,"
"Well, it depends on the size of our present army," Kumo says.
"Oh, I just recently checked upon them, and Akito has been helping recruit and keep the soldiers in check. I think he said there were currently about… 4,000 or so?" Aika says.
Less than I thought, so if we want a decent sized division that can go up against large armies… we should have,
"Eight. Eight separate armies should be good," I say.
"That seems about right. Plus, a few candidates come to mind," Kumo says, her hand supporting her chin.
"Good, I'll leave the commander selection to you three,"
My wives nod in agreement as we leave the bath. My wives changed into more formal dresses while I changed into my baggy nursing clothing since I came to like it after a while.
They wanted to have breakfast outside the castle while I devoured my breakfast alone.
After the delicious breakfast, I made my way to my two growing trees that fucked over my life. I expected nothing, but when I approached where I planted the noble, white seed… a sapling had sprouted from the ground.
The wood was a pale grey with glowing white leaves.
I quickly flew over to Qlipoth and saw that it had sprouted a sapling. It had pale grey wood as well, but its leaves this time were an eerie black.
I celebrated for a few seconds before grabbing a few leaves off of both saplings. I could hardly suppress my excitement as I threw the white and black leaves into my mouth.
