The Monster Duchess (GirlxGirl) (Futanari)

CAMILLE'S POV

"What is the meaning behind that stare, princess Aphrodite of the Holy Kingdom? Do you perhaps have something important to say to me?" Aphrodite shakes her head no and continues to eat her breakfast. The rest of the concubines seems to enjoy their new role but to think that Isadora left me to deal with them alone, I will remind myself to smack her when she comes back.

But, understandably, she has to go to the West side of the Capital. They require help. Even though empress mother only gave us a week to be together, it was well spent.

"How is everyone?" I inquired when I feel like the silence is suffocating me.

"Is it okay for me to have a couple of my servant enter the palace? I need someone who knows my routine as they serve me." Andromeda raised her hand before she talks.

"Do as you wish. Just make sure that your servant knows their place. They might be serving the Gargantua princess, but for now, you're currently living under our roof." Andromeda nodded as she acknowledged my warning.

"I would like to have more jewellery." Sophia suddenly announced.

"Don't you have enough, Sophia?" I asked while looking at her. The former courtesan smiled.

"There is no such thing as enough jewellery." Seeing how the former courtesan won't leave the matter, I agreed to follow her wish to have more jewel.

"What about you two? Don't you want anything?" I was referring to Octavia and Cassiopeia. The shaman princess shakes her head no while Octavia smirked when she looks up to me.

"I would like to have my palace. We won't have the same norms as other rulers with their concubines. Aren't you embarrassed that you're pregnant with another man's seed and married with the future shadow empress? It says a lot about your true self, Camille." Did Octavia just call me by my name?

I'll be damn.

"Octavia doesn't mean what she said, your grace. Please quell your anger. It wouldn't be healthy for the baby to know that its mother is feeling angry." Andromeda's quickly tried to covered for my old nemesis.

"Octavia, you have agreed to be part of this. Forget about your past and live in the present. Her grace is now standing above us. What you just did there was not necessary. Apologise to the archduchess before the future shadow empress know what you did to her legal wife." Octavia was not expecting to hear such words from Andromeda.

"There is no need for someone like Octavia to apologise to me. She's too proud of herself. But even someone like her have to follow the orders of someone like empress mother or she might have to sacrifice her life for her people." I kept my stoic expression as I look down on Octavia.

"Your work is simple. Aid Isadora when she finally takes the reign and provides the Empire with heirs. Your children will be the only way to strengthen our unity as a whole country." I can see how confused they are. In time, they will know what I meant. For now, I will let them keep guessing.

"Your grace would be too much if I-," I turned to face Aphrodite, but she immediately chokes on her words when our eyes meet.

"No need to be so scared. Please continue. What do you want?" The princess from the Holy Kingdom finally gathers her courage to face my gaze.

"Is it possible for me to go back to my kingdom and end things with my lover? Leaving him without proper goodbyes is-," once again she chokes on her words when everyone's attention is on her.

"Is what, princess Aphrodite?" Andromeda raised an eyebrow.

"Is unsettling. I understand my situation and how my presence here is to ensure my people's survival against a bigger power. Please, your grace. Grant this wish of mine." Instead of wishing for wealth, this woman wants to go back and end things with her lover?
