I just finished my dinner which was soup again. Aito's assistant has made it bearable to eat soup for 2 meals every day, by including new herbs and meat to mix up the flavor. But, I was getting sick of it.
I didn't have a fever anymore and just had mana sickness so I don't know why I still need to eat soup for my meals. Lunch was the only time I got a full plate of solid foods, it was like they were treating me as if I was a hospital patient.
"Maid!" I yell out.
The maid standing outside the door walks in and bows before closing the door behind her.
"Tell Aitos assistant or just the head of the kitchen that I don't want to eat soup anymore. Tell him or her to make the normal food that he normally makes. No more soup,"
"As you wish," The maids say after bowing and walking through the door.
Before the maid could close it, I saw her bow down the hallway and before I could ask what she was doing, I saw Aika walk through the door with Hades in her arms.
"You want to see mama?" Aika asks Hades who had a massive smile.
"Mama," Hades responds.
Holy shit. He can talk already and it hasn't even been a day?!
Aika walks right next to me as I lift Hades by his armpits and place him in my lap. He immediately places his head on my chest and then I could hear light snores coming from him.
Aika waves goodbye while I slowly move Hades next to me and I fall asleep with him in my arms.
[Day 41]
It was currently midnight and Hades woke up crying. Since I got up so fast, I was still in a daze but was soon able to lift Hades into my lap as I sat up. He continued to cry and I instinctively knew what to do, so I took off my shirt and not my bra since I wasn't wearing one in the first place.
Hades immediately knows what to do and starts sucking. He soon went silent but nothing was coming out until I felt something move. Breast milk starts to flow out as a strange relaxing sensation overcomes my body.
After about 5 minutes, I heard light snores, so I looked down and saw that Hades had fallen asleep with him still grabbing onto my breast. I only gave him a light smile as I placed him next to me and I pulled up my shirt, falling asleep once again.
…
I woke up today feeling refreshed. I haven't felt this good in a long time and it might've been because I was enjoying my time with Hades. We were currently in the throne room where I was having breakfast with my wives.
Kumo and Homura's belly had expanded almost to double their size, so they might give birth any second now.
For breakfast, the maids brought out plates full of nutritional food which Kumo and Homura devoured, while I also ate the solid food that tasted so good.
Hades was currently in my lap, eating some soup that had soft chunks of meat. Throughout yesterday and last night, all of his teeth had grown out and he was now 3 feet in height. I couldn't believe his rate of growth but when I compared it to the other kids in my kingdom, I realized this was normal.
"Mama, where your arm?" Hades asked, looking up at me.
Hades has also picked up on most words we have spoken already. This was the most surprising thing that had happened once he was born. He's really smart and powerful but he hasn't learned to use skills besides the time when he first awoke.
I could only assume that was [Summon: Basic Skeleton] since they were moving around and they had humanoid-looking bone arms.
"I lost it in battle. I was really cool when I lost it as well… I went BAM and then knocked her down onto the ground. She was able to take my arm in the leg but in the end, I won by gripping her head and rippi-"
"Babe, what are you teaching Hades?" Aika asks, with a vein popping out of her forehead.
"N-nevermind. It's a story for when you're older. Just know that I was cool when I lost my arm and leg," I say, avoiding Aika's gaze.
Homura and Kumo snickered slightly which Hades saw and started to laugh as well.
As we started to finish up breakfast, Aika and Hades left together, while Homura and Kumo went back to our room to rest.
Once I saw them disappear, I got out of my seat and mounted my wolf, but before I could go back to rest in my bed, I felt multiple presences enter the room through the shadows.
"What do you want?" I ask coldly.
"Master, we have wiped out all of the bases that we could find. We have also found slaves in the bases and would like to know your order for them," Yin says, rising out of the shadows.
"Slaves? Ah, that's right, I haven't created any laws yet… not like it's going to stop some people, but citizens are still going to make use of this loophole..." I accidentally mumble outloud.
Now what to do with the slaves… most of their minds should be broken so they won't be able to integrate back into my kingdom… wait, let's do another venom jar. Last time it wasn't much of a jar as it was more like deathmatch, but if we squeeze all of the slaves into the jar, we can create much more powerful assassins.
Hmmm… alright, let's do that. Plus I can't do much until I find out a way to regain my arm and leg, so I guess this can be a form of passing the time. Assimilating new body parts onto my body didn't work and I brought Ichika back, but she wasn't able to regrow my limb.
We don't have anything mechanical so prosthetic limbs are out of the window…
"How many slaves are there and where are they currently?"
"There are around 200 and we are currently keeping them in front of the castle," Yin says.
"Bring them to the venom jar above, we'll conduct another one and the surviving, let's say… 25, will join the assassin corps. Since most of their minds will be broken, we can rebuild them with loyalty, better minds, and stronger skills," I say.
"As you wish… also, m-may I have a reward. I was a good girl and removed the rats from the kingdom… s-so can I please have a reward…" Yin requests.
"After the venom jar… now don't keep asking me for rewards otherwise you won't get them. I'll give them to you once I feel you deserved them,"
"T-thank you very much!" Yin says while slipping into the shadows.
It's kind of creepy how she switches between personalities so fast…
Now what to do with the new assassins… oh, I should make different forces for any situation. We haven't run into any water regions yet, but I assume they exist. We already have a land corps, now we need an air and water corps.
The water corps should be similar to Danish Frogmen and the air corps should be similar to the United Kingdom's SAS. I don't know any of the training for the SAS but I do know some for the frogmen so I should put them through something similar.
Of course, I want to try it as well. But I also know some of the training might be useless since this is a fantasy world, so I'll alter the training slightly.
I directed my wolf to bring me up to my throne, where I also ordered a maid to,
"Bring the same leaders that I brought for the war council, but also include Treyni,"
"As you wish,"
I sit down on my throne and open my status.

Seems the medicine is working… Also, I need to get rid of this Cursed by Mother Nature title.
[Cursed by Mother Nature]
[You have been cursed by the caring mother of nature. You are now the enemy of all intelligent forest-related monsters and beings. You are also the arch-enemy of any creature that has been blessed by Mother Nature.]
It will be troublesome to have this later on...
