Arpious of the Planes-Chapter 44 Walking Through My Kingdom
[Day 22]
Last night was exhausting. It was fun in the beginning when I got to spend time with them one on one but near the end, they all pinned me down having a share of my body. I almost fainted from pleasure multiple times.
"Uhhhh, my entire body feels sore…" I groan.
"Arpious we have to eat breakfast," Aika says with a refreshed smile.
"Sorry about that," Kumo and Homura say while rubbing the back of their heads.
"Then please help me up,"
"Sure thing," Aika says while giving me a piggyback ride to the throne room.
While we were walking down the hallway we ran into a maid who said,
"Master, Miss Homura, Miss Aika, Miss Kumo, if you want I can lead you to the bath. Only if you would like since your room has your special entrance to the bathing room,"
"Oh, I forgot about that. I can lead them there," Aika says.
"As you wish," she replies.
Walking back into my room we entered an entrance that was slightly tucked away in the corner of the room. It was covered by the same rocks that made up the bath.
Walking down the stairs we made it to the bathing room where we unchanged. Unphased by each other's bodies since we explored them last night we entered the bath. We all washed each other while breakfast was being prepared.
After our steaming hot bath we wrapped ourselves in towels and made our way to the changing room. I was able to walk since in the bath my wives gave me a nice massage to ease the soreness in my muscles. The maids were there to put our clothes on us but Aimi was there as well for some reason.
"First of all, I would like to congratulate Miss Aika and Miss Homura for becoming one of Masters wives. Also master, if you want to have custom clothes please come to my shop in the middle of the kingdom. If you want I can lead you there after breakfast," Aimi said.
"Aimi you don't have to address me as "Miss" since we're still friends," Aika said slightly blushing.
"As you wish," Aimi said, teasing Aika a bit more.
"I'll take you up on that offer but we need to change into our clothes to go to breakfast," I say while gesturing for Aimi to leave.
"As you wish,"
We all wore simple dresses for the time being. I wore a basic black dress that went down to my shins. Kumo wore a white dress that went down to her knees while Homura wore a dark blue dress that went down to her ankles. Finally, Aika wore a blond dress that matched her hair which went down to her ankles.
Leaving the changing room we made our way to the throne room where there was a table full of food. The only one here was Aimi so we sat down and talked about how her business was going.
"So I heard you didn't want to work at the castle. I'm not saying you have to but I would like to know your reason," I ask.
"Forgive me, master, I just wanted to have more freedom and be able to sell all types of new designs to everybody. If one day I can see everybody in this kingdom wearing clothes designed by me, that would be a dream come true," she responds.
"Like I said before it's alright. It's just I didn't want you to start a clothing line that was semi-successful when you're not even working exclusively for me," I say.
"Don't worry. I can still be your exclusive clothing designer for free as long as you say the word," 𝗳𝘳𝐞e𝙬𝙚𝚋𝗻𝚘𝚟𝗲l.𝑐𝑜m
"Alright then," I agree.
As we finished up eating I saw Lucy and Sophia who I haven't seen in a while. Remembering that the maids don't have a leader anymore, I decided to make Lucy the new leader.
Sophia seemed disappointed in herself since she worked for me longer but she didn't get to be the leader. I saw this but didn't change my mind since I wanted Sophia to focus on improving her fighting skills. Of course, I won't tell her this yet because this loss will give her motivation to try and impress me.
Since Aimi wanted to work extra hard on my clothes, she told my wives to do their things while I followed her to her shop.

Walking through the streets of my kingdom I of course got greetings which I waved back with a soft smile. I was able to see all the new houses and jobs that were implemented when I was away.
I was even able to greet some kids that were born. I assumed the rate of fertility is much higher with demi-humans since it hasn't even been a month and kids are already running on the streets.
The elven kids surprised me since in the fantasy stories it usually takes them a long time to get pregnant and that isn't even including the time it takes to give birth to it. But… those stories are still fantasy so they aren't going to be correct all the time.
Finally arriving in the heart of my kingdom you can see a huge store that was pretty barren on the outside but on the inside it had colorful walls and carpets. Multiple employees were attending to each section of clothing such as shirts, dresses, pants, socks, shoes, underwear, and surprisingly bras.
"It seems like you have bras,"
"Yes, we got other women to test it and they all had positive reviews. They said that it helped with their back pain because their breasts were too heavy," Aimi says as we walked through the store.
The employees waved at me soon turning to the employee next to them to smile and whisper amongst themselves. I just waved back as we got to the back of the store where many of the clothes were being made.
There were tables lined with materials and workers sewing together clothes and some making shoes.
Looking down at my talons, I realized I might need shoes later on if I get feet from an evolution.
"I have some ideas so I can just put them on once I get actual feet,"
Arriving at Aimis' office I asked her a question.
"Is it possible for you to make me 2 full sets of clothes? The first one should include heels, a dress, socks, tights, a bra, and underwear. The second set will be casual wear which includes sneakers, a sweatshirt, 1 short and long sleeve shirt, socks, skirt, tights, bra, and underwear" I request.
"As you wish. This might take some time so I would suggest you go to Aiso for now since it looks like you need a new scythe," Aimi says.
"Ummmm… do you know where his shop is?" I ask.
"His blacksmith should be to the right of my shop. He is usually busy but if it is you I assume he'll prioritize your request first," she says.
"Thanks,"
Leaving Aimis clothing store I make my way to Aiso's blacksmith. I not only need a new scythe from him but I want him to make a mask for my assassin corps that I'm putting together.
Oh, that reminds me, I wonder how Yin's mission is going. I think I'll put together the first real mission once they have 10 in the corps that are highly qualified. The first mission will probably be recon on some of the other mountain guardians, preferably the 2 lower ones. I don't want to mess with a dragon just yet.
"Oh… maybe I should do the poison jar. Is that what it's called? Well, I guess I can do that since if there are too many qualified people we can water them down with this," I mumble to myself.
Not even a minute passed by and I was in front of Aisos blacksmith. It was made out of huge rocks that seemed fireproof since it wasn't getting affected by the high amount of heat being produced.
It looked like waves of heat were being blasted out from the inside because the air around the blacksmith was the same as the ones on a hot summer day. But this didn't hinder me since I have [Fire Immunity].
Walking towards the blacksmith I see a line of people from different ages trying to get a weapon. The youngest is a small fire harpy boy that looks around the age of 15 and a small elven girl that looks around the age of 13.
Walking towards the blacksmith I accidentally run into a fire harpy who seems middle-aged and judging from his armor that he's carrying he looks like a guard.
"HEY WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING PUNK-" the fire harpy shouts before turning around.
His face went pale at the sight of me and his loud shouting attracted many eyes around us. Gossip started as the people around us wondered what I was going to do to him but all I did was just walk right past him.
I hear him drop to his knees in fear as I continue to walk past the line.
"Hey, what are you guys trying to get?" I ask the 2 youngest in the line.
