Chapter 602 The Queen Of Peekaan's Bathroom Secret
?
After talking to them, I stepped into Hilda's office in Torrain to find both her and Carrie doing paperwork at their desks. They both looked up, and I winced at the exhausted women, pulling in some magic and casting a spell to revitalize them. The women gasped as the magic swept through them, and then they both sighed.
Then they turned back to return to work, but I pulled both of the women out of the chair.
"You both need to leave this office and get some fresh air! Have the two of you even left since I put you here?" I asked as I started to push them out of the room, only to find the next room filled with women doing paperwork.
"We have to change everything, which is taking a long time. Even with everyone working, we will be here for the next three months. We basically have to rewrite everything in order to keep the city running. Policies, laws, and everything else," Hilda said with a sigh, her voice tired as she looked around.
I nodded and stepped in front of them both, pulling out some magic once again and using it to make the paperwork disappear before clapping my hands together.
"Go take a break! I will handle things here!" I said, pushing the women away, who were now too stunned to argue.
Once they left, I started on the paperwork, using magic, and began using every flat surface to start filling out the documents. While that was happening, I summoned my Cat, Robins. I used them to get a quick look at the city while also using some analytical magic that let me temporarily absorb all the information of the document that the women had been working on. From there, I could complete anything they had left behind or missed out on while continuing in the direction they were heading.
It only took me an hour of sitting on the table in the center of the room where all the other assistants had been working on getting everything done to the point that they would only need to go over the documents and add their own ideas. This would still take time, but the entire group should take no more than three days now rather than months. The women came back before I was finished, but they all just stood at the room's entrance until I was finished.
It was a sight to see with every inch of the surface being used to write documents and then the papers flying off to a stack while another replaced it. When I was done, the room looked like a complete mess, with papers everywhere and ink spilled on the floor. But it was all done, and now Hilda could just have her assistants clean up the room while she and Carrie went to work looking over what had been finished.
"Galio, this is amazing! How did you do it?!" Hilda gasped as she walked around, picking up the documents, but I just smiled at her.
"It isn't that hard if you know pretty much every magic spell," I said with a shrug, and Hilda shook her head in disbelief before returning to the paperwork.
However, I had other things to do, so after saying goodbye, I opened another portal and stepped through, ending up standing outside the door. I had portalled to see Queen Melrose of the Peekaans, but I was in a small room with only two doors. I left the portal and smelt something sweet coming from the door ahead of me, but I turned back to look at the other door, then around the room. I knew that smell, but I was having trouble placing where I had smelled it before; then I heard a splashing noise, then a gasp that could only be attributed to one thing.
I moved to step back and open a portal to leave, but as I did, the board let out the loudest creak I had ever heard. I opened a portal to a random location and was about to jump through, but the Queen screamed in fright.
"Who is out there?! Della?! Why would you disturb me?! Who is out there?! ANSWER ME!" Melrose screamed, and I let out a long sigh and closed the portal.
"It is just me, Galio, your friendly god of the world," I said, and I heard a sigh come from the other side of the door but then a gasp.
"Does that mean that you heard me..." Melrose asked from inside what was clearly a bathroom.
"I did not hear any splashes, I assure you, but this answers my burning question. Still, I don't know how I feel. Knowing this information now doesn't make me feel any better," I said with a grin, and Melrose sighed in relief.
"Well, at least you can't blackmail me with it now," Melrose chuckled and opened the door, revealing an embarrassed-looking Queen. She wore a silk robe, and her hair was still wet from the shower.
I smiled at her, and she blushed, quickly tucking away some strands of her dreaded brown hair. I laughed but then looked serious again.
"But I did come here to talk to you about a few things. I was wondering how the boat and the Easterners are doing," I said, and Melrose looked up at me with a coy smile.
"Anything in exchange?" She asked, and I frowned at her.
She sure was acting friendly for a woman who just took what sounded like she took a heavy shit. I mean, it smelled like heaven, but I had assumed that she would have freaked out when I said I had heard no splashes, but the Queen was completely oblivious.
"Exchange? Are you asking for an exchange of information?" I asked, but Melrose shook her head and then opened her robes to reveal her naked golden-brown body to me. This wasn't the first time seeing her like this, but my manhood couldn't help getting excited at what was being offered.
BUT! If I did this now, Tallia would murder me in cold blood; I was sure of it!
"Ah, I see what you mean. Well, If this was any other time, I would gladly take you up on the offer, since we have enjoyed this before. The problem is that I promised Tallia I would have time with her, so I can't do it with any other woman until then. Do you think that I can give you an I-owe-you?" I asked, and Melrose sighed and closed her robes.
"The boat will be ready in a week. We are working on schedules for the Easterners. When do you think that I will get to take you up on that offer?" Melrose asked, moving towards me and letting her robe fall open. She pressed her naked body against mine and then tried to reach around me, but I caught her hands.
"I will make it back here once I am back from the Underworld," I said, but then a portal opened, and I groaned when Tallia's and my eyes connected.
"This does not look like taking a break," Tallia said, looking at Melrose with an icy glare. "He is mine until I say he can be anyone else's!" She hissed, and Melrose backed but quickly closed her robes.
"I was just coming to get some information, and then I was coming to see Breya for the rest of the day and night. I told her I was yours until further notice, so don't get your golden panties in a knot, love," I said, looking at Melrose. "I will be back when I can, but try to have the boat done and the easterner problem more sorted than just a schedule, okay?" I asked, and Melrose tilted her head to me.
"Well, I think that you have had enough galivanting for one day, and most of the other women have left now," Tallia said, offering her hand to me, and I rolled my eyes before taking it.
"I was not galivanting. I was checking on some things while everyone got their chance to meet my daughter. Now, I am going to spend the rest of the day with her, and then tomorrow, I have a day planned for us," I explained as I walked through the portal, and Tallia closed it behind me as we stood in her kitchen.
"Well, Grace is a beautiful girl, but what happened to you there?" Tallia asked, and I sighed. This was one person I could tell this to, but I wasn't sure how she would react.
"I was pulled into a place she had created, and we talked for a bit, but Grace was a full-grown woman. She can see all points of her life, but she is forced to grow normally. The girl can also use True Magic as easily as breathing. I was worried about that, but knowing that she can see all points in time makes me feel better about that," I explained, and Tallia put a finger to her lip and started to tap as Nemoria walked in from outside.
"Well, hello there, handsome! I got a chance to see your precious little girl! She is adorable!" Nemoria said as she came over to hug and kiss me, then pulled away to look at Tallia. "So, do I need to leave so you can have some alone time?" She asked, but Tallia shook her head.
"Galio is going to spend the night with Breya and Grace. Tomorrow I will have him for the day at least," She said, then looked at me. "How are things going at the Gate with Lexi?"
