Chapter 43: Confessions

Taking a look at it closer I realized it was made of obsidian while the gemstones in it were made of fire stones, wind stones, water stones, and earth stones.

[Fire Stone]

[A type of stone found anywhere with an abundance of fire. This stone produces a very little amount of fire.]

[Water Stone]

[A type of stone found anywhere with an abundance of water. This stone produces a very little amount of water.]

[Earth Stone]

[A type of stone found anywhere with an abundance of minerals. This stone produces a very little amount of minerals.]

The edges of the crown were lined with gold creating a nice contrast with the blackish purple obsidian.

[Equipment - Queens Crown]

[+5 Strength]

[+5 Speed]

[+5 Defense]

[Enchants: [Larger Presence]

...

Placing it on my head I couldn't help but feel like a queen at this moment. My servants were all next to me while I sat on my throne above them.

Homura and Kumo came in at the right time seeing me looking grand on my throne. Homura was wearing a light blue dress that brightened the color of her hair. While Kumo wore a white dress that contrasted nicely with her pink highlights.

All of their eyes glowed as I stepped back down to the dinner table because the maids were bringing out our dinner. Even when Aito came from the kitchen he wasn't saved from the sparkly eyes that lathered my body.

Chuckling a bit I gestured for Aito, Kumo, and Homura to sit down while I did as well.

We ate and talked for a bit before I decided to tell them about my censored skill and Kumo.

"EVERYBODY! I have an announcement to make!" I shouted, getting everybody's attention.

"So most or all of you might know that I have a large reservoir of skills. This is due to one of my special skills which I don't know what it is called. I activated this once in one of my pre-evolutions and it became a sort of passive skill. Now this skill allows me to obtain some or all of my prey's skills when I eat or drink part of their body. I can also gain an innate part of their body making it into a body modification skill for me..." I said.

All of the people at the dining table stopped chewing with their mouths just hanging open in shock. They all knew I had an insane amount of skills but they didn't know I could just obtain them from eating their body or drinking their blood. This means my amount of skills will only increase as time passes.

"That's overpowered," Akito says, breaking the silence.

"HAHAHAHA, AS EXPECTED OF OUR QUEEN!" Akio laughs.

"Agreed," both Aimi and Aika say in unison.

Aito just nods agreeing with everybody's statement.

Both Kumo and Homura were not surprised since they speculated that this was the case. In their entire lives, they never heard of a monster that can use so many skills which lead them to speculate.

"So now that I got that out of the way… Kumo is my wife…" I say casually while walking over to her and kiss her on the lips.

"That's amazing! Congratulations!" Aimi says.

"CONGRATULATIONS MY QUEEN!" Akito and Akio shout.

Aito was clapping with a huge smile on his face but Homura and Aika were a bit different. Homura was just plain sad while Aika looked at Kumo with jealousy. Feeling the mixed vibe I walked over to Aika who looked at Kumo with malicious intent.

"What's with the malicious glare towards my wife. Do you not like her?" I ask Aika.

"Of course not, It's just… I wanted to be in that position," Aika says, slightly blushing.

"Hmmmm~ I thought when you touched my body while changing me, it was just out of respect and you wanted to know me more. Was I wrong?" I ask.

"I-I apologize, I acted out of line," Aika says, holding back tears.

*sigh*

What do I do… If I accept her feelings I would have 2 wives… but would Kumo not like this? Could, she not accept sharing me with somebody else? I'm also assuming Homura is the same as Aika since she can't bear to look at me now.

Glancing at Kumo she just gives me a shrug which I'm assuming meant she didn't care if I let her become my wife or not… I'm playing on thin ice right now.

"If you want to become my wife as well, you have to share me with Kumo. I'm not only saying this to Aika but also Homura over there," I say.

"I don't mind if I have to share with other girls as long as I can be with Arpious," Kumo says, giving confirmation.

"R-really," both Homura and Aika mutter with tears running down their cheeks.

"Alright you two meet me in my room tonight so we can finalize this," I say while walking back to my seat.

The rest of the dinner was a lot of flattering comments about the new queens. We also talked about some things that have been added to our kingdom which I already knew about due to the maid.

"Oh yeah, tomorrow I'm going to use the training room and you might hear some screaming from me. When I get the body modification skill it doesn't put it in the body modification tab but makes it a skill. To add it to my body or the tab, I have to activate the skill which then starts modifying my body while I'm awake. You can guess that this is painful so if you hear screaming try to ignore it," I say while getting a nod from everybody.

"Oh also, I know Homura implemented a currency system so how much money do I have. Do I have to earn it or do I just have some already," I ask?

"My queen, you don't need to pay for services in your kingdom. If you would like we could make millions of obsidian coins to satisfy you," Akio says.

"Yeah please do, but make it around 10 thousand for each coin if possible. Also, build a treasury room to store them since they should take up a lot of space,"

"As you wish," Akio responds.

…

Dinner passed quickly as we were already finishing up our meals. Exiting the throne room I, Aika, Homura, and Kumo made our way to my bedroom.

"Ah, master we built a new room for you near the top of your castle," Aika says.

"Mm, bring me there,"

Walking up multiple floors we finally made our way to our room. Entering it I quickly noticed how much larger it was compared to my previous one. It might've been about 3 times bigger than my previous one.

The ceiling was made from a see-through rock but not as clear as glass. Aika told me this was meant to see the real stars instead of the imitation stars on the ceiling.

[Ore - Quartz]

[A commonly found ore that resides in the [Mountain of Twilight]. This type of rock is mainly used for decoration.]

Was quartz always this clear or did they do something to it to make it this clear? I can see the night sky.

There was a huge king-sized bed that looked like it could fit 10 people in it. Scattered around the room were different carpets made of Poisonous Silk creating multiple patterns throughout my room. There is also a wide variety of plants ranging from hanging plants to small trees in my room.

As we all awed at the room for a bit, I gestured for them to sit down on the bed.

"So shall we discuss now,"

Everybody nods their heads but Homura and Aika were nervous due to them fidgeting their fingers.

"Kumo and I both agree to let you become my wives… but can you accept having to share me with other girls," I ask.

"I can, as long as I'm with you I don't mind," Homura responds while her tails start to wag.

"I think, I wanted you to myself but if that means I can't be with you then I'd rather share," Aika responds with resolution in her eyes.

"Good… so you can call me Arpious," I say while everybody nods their head.

Setting my crown on the nightstand beside my bed I then shuffled over to Aika as I slowly moved my lips in towards her. Before mine can touch hers she takes the initiative and steals my lips. Not even 5 seconds pass by and she starts to twist her tongue in my mouth.

Before we go any farther I pull back and make my way to Homura who was blushing intensively. Taking the initiative, I press my lips against hers and slowly work my tongue in overtime.

Retreating, I kiss Kumo and work for my hand around her body, slowly taking her clothes off. She also takes my clothes off leaving us naked on the bed together kissing and pressing against each other.

"A-Arpious…" Kumo stutters.

We forgot to change into our nightwear because lust soon filled the room as we had the best time of our lives. I gave love to everybody in the room making sure nobody was unsatisfied with sharing me.

"Love you all…" I say before falling asleep.
