Futanari System

Early Arrival

Days had passed, and my daze recovered slowly, but I found myself rarely as bad as the first day. My mind no longer went completely blank or so dazed that I could not concentrate. It was a pain, but I luxuriated in the attention and love of my women. They all attended to me without question, and it was something that I shouldn't have found so odd.

It felt nice, and when I was working, Yuri or Alexia stayed with me as I caught up on the financial decisions for the Embassy. Things would be different when I was gone, and there would be limited funds. I talked with Rose, and the brewery's beginnings were promising as I was the brewer.

Alchemists had a reputation to uphold, and apparently, people trusted me to come up with a strong brew. It was flattering, to say the least, but I had other things to be worried about. I had not heard from my sister in the last couple of days, and the vote would be soon. To make matters worse was the fact that my replacement should be here soon. They had sent them not long after that last emergency meeting, and that meant that I needed to be ready to go soon.

I took a deep breath, and I knew that I wouldn't leave the Demon lands until after that vote. If it was positive in my favor, I would take it home. If not, I would leave it here while leaving in the middle of the night before all the formalities were complete. I would not bring home a dead letter for the elders. It would not only reflect poorly on me, but it would be bad for relations with the Demon lands.

I had more than enough merits, though, from the Demon lands after the windfall of Francis a couple of days ago. That was not the best negotiation that I have ever conducted. The nation would be paying a little more than I think I could have done at my best. Francis wasn't looking to annoy us, though. He wanted to make a decent income for himself and his men that he sent our way.

They were coming to be blooded in the hardest training course that can ever exist. The battlefield was his main reason for making them mercenaries. Plus, I think some minds in the Demon lands might think they wanted the Empire trimmed down. It was the largest nation besides their own, and the Kingdom of Arlin was right beside it, which meant that the Kingdom would keep the Empire in check even if it was distracted.

It was a strong play, and I had to give it to the Demon Land representatives. They knew that we would want combat power, and those that were closest to us knew I already had the Succubi Illusionists. It made me want to feel out what the Incubi thought before I left. The Vampires I didn't think would join in, though. I didn't have any proof that it was only a feeling, and I didn't know specifically what it was.

I was lost in thought, wondering if I should contact Jeraxes to see if he was interested too. A sudden knock on the door brought me out of my thoughts. I was in my office and had not been planning anything much for the day except to finish some reports and get things out of the way. "Come in," I shouted, interested and turning to the door.

In came my sister, Christina, with her usual look. She moved toward my desk and looked at me with a serious expression. "Your replacement has arrived in the Demon lands. I have already sent Alexia out to go fetch them to bring here. You have roughly a couple of hours to meet them." Christina told me, and my eyes widened in surprise.

That was amazing timing to make passage here unless they sent my replacement before they told me. I frowned and leaned back. I needed to think, and I shrugged. This was something that I was going to play by the minute and see who the other was. I would also insist on staying a couple of extra days, settling this person in with some large names here in the Demon lands. Technically it was something Ralph was supposed to do for me to ensure that I knew all the workings here so I could pick up where he left off.

I sighed, and my heartbeat felt loud in my ears as I contemplated everything. "Thank you for the warning," I told her, "Did they send your replacement with whoever this is?" I asked her a second later.
