Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 183 Slaves Of Death

As I left the bath, I saw my daughters had already changed into beautiful dresses fit for their title as a princess.

"Girls, go ahead, I need to change," I say, seeing my daughters waiting for me.

They both nod their heads before racing to the breakfast table. I could only chuckle to myself slightly before entering the changing room where my maids helped change me into a beautiful dress similar to my daughters.

And once I put on my jewelry, I left the room and remembered something that I needed to do…

Aiso needs to make a ring for Treyni and me as over time she might grow jealous.

This was something I never would've thought had been possible, but after seeing Treyni get mad at me after I was caught princess carrying Mia, anything could be possible now.

I heave a sigh before walking to the throne room where everybody was already present, eating the delicious and almost seductive food. Meat, vegetables, and fruit were spread amongst the table, and I couldn't hold myself back anymore as I immediately sat down on a chair and filled my plate with food.

I talked with my children and my wives about what happened during the war, but for some reason, my children didn't believe my part.

Apparently, they think I'm the weakest of my wives as I was bedridden their entire childhood. And whenever I had the chance to display my power, somebody would've already appeared to kill the thing for me.

"I'm really trying to say that I'm the strongest…."

"I don't believe you. You're just trying to make yourself look on par with mom," Hades responds.

"Then how about you children spar against me. If you win, then I'll ask Akio to make you a weapon made especially for yourself… deal?" I ask my children which they immediately responded with sparkling eyes and a nod.

My wives laugh to themselves for a bit before my children immediately run towards the training room.

Sparring outside wasn't needed as I wasn't going to use any skills that would potentially destroy my castle.

"Oh yeah, Babe, I have two things to show you," Aika speaks up.

"Yeah?"

"First, let's have Sophia come in," Aika says, gesturing for a maid.

The maid then makes way for Sophia, who had dark bags under her eyes, signaling her lack of sleep and depression.

Sophia huh? She's probably still sulking and depressed over her mother's death… I don't really care, though, as she was a traitor. But, if it affects Sophia's performance as a commander, then I might have to cheer her up with something.

"Master, please relieve me from duties as a commander. I want to continue working as a maid. I feel I'm not fit for the position," Sophia says while bowing deeply.

"Yeah, that's not true at all. Your leadership during the war was amazing, and you were definitely in second place behind Akito, who clearly had lots of experience.

Next, you still participated in the war after I killed your commendable mother. You even fought with the heroes even as you felt depressed, showing the high amount of mental fortitude you have," I say.

Sophia blushes slightly before shaking her head.

"P-please let me continue to be your maid. And if I could be so rude as to say this now, I humbly decline your offer of living in a separate house with Lucy since she has decided to stay as your maid… I just thought it might be inconvenient so please listen to my request," Sophia says, this time getting down on her knees and kowtowing towards me.

"Wait, Sophia, I have something that might brighten your mood," Aika says before muttering a skill to herself.

Suddenly, 5 figures rose from the shadows, and my eyes widened when I saw who they were… It was the 5 heroes who had been killed in the war, but unlike Aika's other necromantic summons, the heroes had their entire body regenerated while their eyes held a bright light as if they were still alive.

And among those heroes… was Sophia's mom.

The 5 heroes had their bodies fully regenerated, but they didn't look human at all. They had grey skin with turquoise eyes and black sclera. They seemed a little taller than before as well.

But the thing that was strange to me was that they were still wearing the gear and armor they had when they were alive… And since I was curious, I of course, inspected them to see what was up.

…

Oh, they're basically as strong as Paimon…

"Do they have a will of their own?" I ask Aika.

All she does is a glance at the resurrected heroes before they all came up to me and kneeled right before me.

"We greet the other Mistress!" They all shout in unison.

"Hoh… what happened to your condescending attitude, huh?"

"We have learned from our mistakes and have realized there are only 2 great beings within our lives! The two Mistresses that we serve!" They all shout in unison.

"See…Though it took a while to resurrect one of them into this state, it was worthwhile as I now have a few pets to play around with… see? Samantha, come here and sit next to me," Aika orders.

Samantha, the previous Healing Hero, sat next to Aika's chair on her knees. Aika took her head and laid it against her thigh as she started to stroke her hair, causing the previous Healing Hero to melt in bliss.

"Damn, I need a pet," Kumo mutters to herself.

"Should I get a pet?" Treyni mutters to herself as well.

"If you girls are getting pets, then don't involve them with me. If I'm getting a pet, it's most likely going to be an unintelligent monster like my cute 1 tailed foxes," Homura says, snapping her fingers.

A few light blue foxes the size of my arm appear around Homura. They floated in the air, and whenever they moved, it looked as if they were running through the air.

And just like Homura said, they were adorable.

"Oh, speaking of pets, Ava come here," I say.

After a few minutes of waiting, Ava appears next to me, kneeling on one knee. It would've only taken a few seconds if I didn't have Yin take her to the dungeon.

"Ava, how close are you done to finishing my necklace with Aika?" I ask Ava.

"I have finished. Would you like me to get it?" Ava asks.

"Please,"

"As you wish,"

Ava disappears, and as I waited for her to come back, I saw Sophia slowly edging closer to the previous Dark Hero.

"M-Mom?" Sophia asks, reaching out her hand.

It seems the previous Dark Hero recognized her daughter as well, but without the permission of her master, she didn't move. She didn't even give a begging glance to Aika, who seemed to not care in the slightest.

"Go ahead," I say to the Dark Hero, who immediately stood up and hugged her daughter tightly.

Tears flowed from Sophia's face while the Dark Hero just had an expression full of sadness. She didn't cry as she couldn't, but she let out the mixed emotions that she felt before dying.

"I'm sorry, I'll take care of you this time with this second chance. Thank you, mistress's for this chance to reunite with my daughters fully," The previous Dark Hero says.

"Okay, well, I'm going to assign three of you to be the personal bodyguards of Hades… Let's go with… Lex, Quincy, and Samantha. You three know how to hide in the shadows, so make sure to monitor Hades and attend to him whenever needed," Aika says.

Oh, so their innate skills are related to shadows and their ability to create their favored armor that they wore when they were alive.

I could see Samantha pout as she didn't want to leave her mistress's side. Aika continued to pet her head and noticed Samantha's cute pout.

"Well then, if you don't want to leave my side, then beg," Aika says with cold eyes.

Samantha shivers slightly from her mistress's cold words and eyes before raising her body slightly while still on her knees. She brings her hands to beside her chest and sticks out her tongue while panting.

What the fuck. I thought she would've had to use her words… but I guess that's to be expected of a sadist... kinda weird if I had to say so myself... but I won't say that out loud.

"Good girl, it seems you really do want to stay by my side… then Oliver, you will replace her," Aika says, shoving 2 fingers into Samantha's mouth.

"Lick it," Aika says before adjusting her eyes to Oliver, who bowed deeply.

Samantha proceeded to lick and suck on Aika's fingers.

It was pretty lewd...
