"The military is a family, hell, it's all the family most of us have,” you say. “It’s not too surprising she thinks of me as an uncle.”

“Maybe,” Undine replies, slightly put out from your serious response.

Sarah, on the other hand, nods along. “That makes sense. I wonder if her father is behind that?”

He probably is, and you make a mental note to find out who ‘Benny’ is and talk to him about this. You’d at least like to be informed if children are being told you’re their uncle. It seems like the sort of thing that might create complications down the road.

“He could be,” you say. “Either way, if it makes her more comfortable to think of me as her uncle, I’m happy about it.”

“Hmm, have you ever thought about being a father, Talon,” Undine asks suddenly, eliciting a surprised look from Sarah.

What just happened? I might have to call a new vote on this.

Yes. Of course, there is no such thing as a truly immortal being, something many people who live in this setting don't realise. Everybody can and will die some day. Otherwise, agelessness is a thing and some beings are exceptionally hard to kill.

>>29765991

>>29766322

Not in character. Just abort it, or use protection.

>>29766296
We are using protection. It's why we don't have any bastards. Period.

Talon does use a form of protection. Pretty reliable as well as far as it has been made aware. However I assume the counter argument of astral dickings will come up and he has managed to not impregnate normal human females thus far, the two or three sisters he has knowledge of forming a solid basis for this. Ergo we can safely assume this won't be an issue.

"Yes, I decided that my lifestyle as a mercenary wouldn't be conductive to raising kids. Huh, I suppose that's changed, hasn't it?"

Undine nods seriously. “True, you will need an heir if you become an emperor. It’s only natural.”

Sarah doesn’t seem to be taking it quite so nonchalantly. “So, you want to have children now?”

“Well, it does come as part of the emperor patch,” you say. “And it’s not like they’ll be in constant peril or mistreatment like they were earlier when I travelled.”

Sarah nods several times, and you can almost see her mind working out how this could work for her. Stifling a slight laugh, you…

>1.

“So, I overheard the two of you talking about a possible tax system,” you say.

Sarah’s eyes light up. “You’re really interested in that?”

“Yes. Absolutely,” you say flatly.

Undine snorts with a smile and even Sarah catches your tone, frowning as she says, “Oh. Well, you can learn anyway.”

The two girls suddenly take up positions either side of you and you find yourself almost bodily dragged along with them as they walk.

“You see, Undine was talking about taking on a more ordinary taxation system, like in the the RSK and Vitria, where much of the local work is done by the baron or township nearby,” Sarah tells you as you try not to zone out.

You’ve never been one for taxation before, but the two women appear oddly serious about it. You think that you should at least try to follow them.

>Target not met

You tried. You really did. Unfortunately, the intricacies of the RSK taxation system and the modified version that Sarah and Undine are explaining to you is completely beyond your grasp. The main thing you understand is that Sarah’s new system appears to be based around cutting out private ownership of farmland due to the lack of nobles in most of your land. Undine supports using the RSK method. You’re not really certain of the benefits or negatives the two are spruiking, though.

“So, Talon, which of the two methods do you prefer?” Sarah suddenly asks you.

You come back to reality and realise the two have escorted you to a bench nearby the archery range erected in the noble area. They both look expectantly at you.

“I’m sorry, but I zoned out a while ago,” you admit, swallowing your pride.

Undine looks amused at your response even as Sarah looks dispirited. The water elemental then says, “How much interaction with taxation have you had, Talon?”

You scowl slightly. “I commanded armies and mobilised the peasantry, I didn’t count beans. And besides, how much knowledge of taxation do you think the Seraphi king has?”

Sarah looks annoyed as she says, “Probably a great deal.”

“Why don’t we start from the top,” Undine says. “Talon, how much about the RSK’s system of taxation do you know about?”

“Well,” you say, thinking. “The noble who owns the land takes a fixed amount of rent, independent of the size of the harvest. The king then takes a proportion of the harvest. They have to be set at different times, and I think the noble must set his earlier. That’s, uh, about all I know.”

Sarah blurts out, “That’s all it is – how could you not have followed us?”

You stare at her. They had to have been talking at you for almost five minutes straight. How can that have been it? They’re either pulling your leg or they talk way too much.

“That’s ridiculous,” you say. “You talked for minutes on end about something I explained in seconds. The two of you were teasing me because I joked about talking to you for work-related reasons, aren’t you?”

The two women suddenly look rather bashful, and you feel that you were in the right to call them on it.

“So I was right. You were just taking a lot more time to explain things in order to confuse me,” you say.

“Well, no,” Undine says. “There’s a little more to it.”

Sarah nods. “For instance, the reasoning behind changing the proportion of the harvest and the problems caused by the noble fixing the rent first are-“

“Stop!” you say, holding a hand out. “Keep things simple. I want a taxation system that will give me the best results, but I want it explained clearly. I want benefits and detriments, not lots of explanation. Assume the RSK system is the default and explain to me how the system can be better or worse. I trust the two of you to know more about this than I do, but with that trust comes the expectation you’ll explain things in a way that doesn’t require me to know the ins and outs of absolutely everything. I’ll never manage an empire if that’s the case.”

>continued

>>29767313
You were a little worried that the two might be unhappy with you after all that, but they actually both seem rather… puffed up. Somehow they appear to have taken that as a compliment? Well, you think, that’s not a bad thing. Even if they do insist on running through several administrative ideas. It takes several hours of your time and you eventually tell them to write some reports based on your (succinct) feedback and that your cabinet can provide some opinions as well.

As the two of them wander off, continuing their earlier discussion, you marvel a bit at how well the two synergise. The fact they don’t get along seems to drive them both to create new ideas merely to rival the other.

“I am going to kill you after this,” you say.

Maloric chuckles, clearly unaffected by the threat. You honestly can’t blame him – you lost count of the number of times you threatened him after the tenth or so time. You growl as he drives his finger into your arm, and then again. Or you try to growl, rather, and instead produce a feeble noise that could be generously interpreted to be the growl of a baby lion. Maybe.

“It’s your own fault. I said to try to put out as much power as you could to see if I could catch it and manipulate it – I didn’t tell you to use so much you’d enfeeble yourself,” he says smugly, continuing to poke you.

“You told me you almost had it and that I needed to try harder,” you say, trying sound forceful and merely sounding petulant. The weakness is even extending to your vocals. “So I feel pretty confident in blaming you. And just because I can’t follow through on my threats now doesn’t mean I won’t in the end.”

Mal pauses, but then laughs it off with a light punch to your shoulder. It feels like a battering ram and you lean hard against the table to not slide off your chair.

“I am going to kill you, Mal,” you repeat as Gnome walks in.

The earth elemental stares at the two of you as your friend ploughs another fist into your arm ‘playfully’ and you ineffectually whine in return. You…

You surge with astral power, if not all that much, and your fist crashes into Maloric’s face with a satisfying crunch despite your general enfeeblement. Ha!, you think, serves the bastard right. Unfortunately, that surge of astral power took everything out of you and you black out.

You wake up and find your surroundings quite warm and comfortable. Gnome stares down at you and suspect you’re in her lap once more. You still feel very weak and spot Maloric nursing his face, his nose obviously broken and looking to be in bad shape. Still, he’s looked worse. Like when you hurled him off the mountain.

“Was that really necessary?” Gnome asks, her voice wavering. It sounds like she’s trying to be serious but instead she just sounds like she’s about to burst into laughter.

“No,” you admit, slightly bashful. “But he still deserved it.”

“You fucking broke my nose,” he shouts back, voice muffled by the clamp on his nose.

“You tried to embarrass me in front of my familiar.”

“I’m always embarrassed in front of my familiar.”

“It’s not my fault you’re not man enough for her.”

Mal gives you a very firm and obvious middle finger, waving his hand around excitedly. You respond likewise, grinning in triumph. In return, Gnome merely stares down at you, her cheeks puffed up and her eyes almost brimming with tears.

“It’s, uh, how we communicate,” you try to explain, worried that Gnome is taking things the wrong way. It doesn’t seem much like her…

Then she bursts into giggles, and you and Mal stare at her. After a minute, the two of you look at each other, confused as to why Gnome doesn’t appear to be able to stop giggling. This is pretty normal for the two of you, but Gnome appears to have gone hysterical.

>1.

This is it. This is your time. Nobody else’s. You feel as though the world itself supports your coming triumph. Power surges through you like it never has before. Power to rival gods. To shatter mountains. Power that you will need every drop of to succeed at your attempt. As you push your tired and broken arms up, you surge with energy – drop after drop of astral power strengthens your limbs. There will be no stopping you. This is your one and only chance.

Your hands clasp over either side of Gnome’s waist and she fails to notice. This opening is everything – never before and never again has it or will it ever occur. Now is the time!

Wonderful music comes with every motion of your finger. Mal stares, jaw slack, as you play your familiar like an instrument. For all her pride and power, right now she is yours and yours alone. Her giggles continue and you strike different parts of her to produce different noises. She even squirms differently as you move your digits about her. You try not to lose yourself in this pleasure, as she has, but remained focused.

“I think I broke her, Mal,” you say, grinning at your friend as you tickle Gnome relentlessly.

“Is this normal?” he replies with a touch of breathlessness.

“Nope. Which makes it all the more fun.”

Gnome appears to be powerless against you, but even with all the power you’re drawing on you can’t continue forever.

>1.

You figure that if you’ve gone this far, you might as well go out with a bang. You draw on every drop of power you have, even knowing it will make things worse in the long run, and try for a last surge of tickling. Plus a bit extra.

As your hands drift up a bit from your waist, Gnome suddenly gasps hard in between her laughter. It resumes soon enough though, though considerably sweet than before and she squirms madly. Her legs and lower body move too, but she controls herself despite that. You respect that in your familiar – even as you’re pushing her well beyond her normal levels of control she’s still making sure not to hurt you. Luckily, you’re in no position to even attempt the same as your hands continue to play up and down her waist and chest. Her voice changes tone, moving higher and lower, sweeter and more raucous, as your hands move. No matter how this ends, you’re going to remember this for a while.

Eventually, your arms sag and collapse and your whole body feels weighted down. Gnome breathes heavily, her stomach pushing in and out against the top of your head and her breasts occlude your vision of her face with each breath. Despite that, it’s obvious from the glimpses you do get that you’re going to suffer for this.

“That was pretty damned amazing,” you hear Mal say. “Any chance I could get a chance to practice that so I can try it on Sala?”

Gnome’s head snaps up. “If you try that on me I will break every rib in your chest.”

“He doesn’t seem worried about it,” he says in response.

>continued

>>29768669
Gnome grins wolfishly. “Then I obviously just have to teach him to know better.” She then looks down at you with that same grin. You don’t flinch at all. Not that you could, with how exhausted you are. “Now, was that at all necessary?” she says, her voice oozing with menace.

Well, the answer to this one is pretty easy.

“Abso-fucking-lutely.”

She stares at you in surprise, her grin slipping for a bit. Then it returns, “Well, at least I’ll still get my revenge.”

“How so?”

“You missed lunch with me. Now I get to feed you.”

Oh. Crap. Plus, with how tired you are, she’ll probably be feeding you dinner and in front of a larger audience than just Mal.

“So,” you say, “what’s on the menu?”

“Steak for lunch,” she says. “Spaghetti for dinner.”

“Sounds wonderful,” you say, noticing Mal gesturing in the corner of your vision. “What are you doing Mal?”

“I figured Salamander might want to join us,” he says. “After all, she does love to feed you even when you’re fully capable of doing it yourself.”

Even more wonderful, you think, noticing Gnome get a little unhappy. You get to have the two elementals fight over who gets to feed you while Mal watches on and laughs. And at dinner, Undine will probably join in. That bastard friend of yours grins triumphantly, having gotten revenge on you.

Still, you think as Sala and Gnome take turns feeding you steak, sometimes jabbing your cheek as the other gets their fork in first, it was worth it. Plus, Gnome certainly seemed to enjoy it. If she hadn’t, then she’d have reacted more poorly. You wonder if she merely likes being fawned on a little.

Gnome bodily carries you to a chair at the table. Maloric meanwhile uses a sending to get the cooks to bring some lunch to the room. Sala beats them to the room, bursting in excitedly.

“I heard that Tallie was completely defenceless,” she says, calling you a nickname you’ve never heard her say before.

You groan. “That’s what brought you here? What have I surrounded myself with?”

Mal hits you in the arm and you glare in response. He says, “That’s my familiar you’re talking about there?”

“You’re even lower on the list, you bastard.”

“I’m just getting my right revenge.”

“That was what I was doing.”

“Enough,” Gnome says. “Play nice. Besides, it’s my revenge that matters the most.”

“Oh,” says Sala, bouncing intoa chair. “What do you need to get revenge on Tallie for?”

“None of your business,” Gnome growls back. Sala’s eyes dart to Gnome’s chest and she grins.

Before any sparks can fly, the staff arrive and drop off four steaks. They quickly vacate the room, wary of getting caught in this. You suspect there’s going to be some strange rumours floating around tomorrow.

Gnome quickly cuts a bit of steak but Sala’s just as fast and you find your enfeebled self surrounded by steak. Green and red eyes stare into you from either side and you hope to survive this.

“You want to get in on this action, Mal?” you say nonchalantly.

His eyes meet yours and seem to glimmer mischievously. “I don’t see why not. I’ve known you the longest after all – it only seems right.” He then redirects a piece of steak from his mouth to yours.

The girls both stare as you exaggeratedly bite down on and chew the piece of meat, pretending to greatly enjoy it. Finally, Gnome breaks out of her stupor.

“This isn’t actually a thing, is it?” she asks, sounding very uncertain. Sala suddenly straightens with that, bristling with interest.

Your eyes meet with Mal’s – he seems game if you are.

“And if it is?” you say calmly, hiding your amusement. “Would there being any problems?”

“Problems?” Gnome says, voice spiking slightly in pitch. “You’ve been acting the way you have despite this?”

“Mal’s a good friend,” you say, trying to hedge this whole conversation. “What’s wrong with that? Can’t an emperor-to-be do this sort of thing?”

Sala’s grinning widely as Gnome’s face collapse into her hands, her fork and the steak it holds falling onto her plate with a clatter. She says, “You said you slept with fifty women so I’m afraid to ask how many men.”

Sala’s grin widens, if such a thing were possible. “Oooh, or maybe it’s just a ‘Only if it’s you’ thing. That’s it, isn’t it? Isn’t it?”

Yours and Mal’s eyes meet again, and you can tell neither of you will be able to keep this going for much longer. Gnome appears to be in slight despair whereas Sala is excited.

“I’m not so sure what you mean by sleeping with them,” you say, continuing to hedge the conversation and eliciting an odd look from Gnome, “but Mal’s far from the only one I’ve done this with. In fact, I can count a few dozen off the top of my head. Including the king of the RSK – it’s a big deal there, after all. Very serious customs.”

Gnome’s look of confusion turns to abject horror and even Sala looks shocked. Gnome says, her voice breaking, “The Seraphi king? That old man? Customs? I- I-“

Mal’s about to hit the table laughing. You might just follow him but if you can hold it in you can pull one last trick.

>>29769768
I think she sees us more as a degenerate hedonist than run of the mill gay man. So honestly we're probably worse from her perspective.

>Exceptional success

“You really shouldn’t react like that,” you say, keeping a completely straight face. “It’s very impolite to the RSK, their customs and the king.”

“Impolite,” Gnome rasps. “Impolite!? You just told me that you’re fucking a wrinkled old man!”

Mal loses it and begins to choke as his laughter as Sala continues to stare in horror. You suspect that you would have lost it yourself at that, but something keeps your face on the straight and narrow and your response is as calm as the ocean, “That’s even more impolite. To say such things of the king of such a nation, Gnome.”

“Fuck you,” she says, standing and amazingly upset. You can’t believe how easily you’ve thrown her off like this. Sala appears to be more interested in her sister’s complete meltdown than your joke about being gay. Gnome continues, “You’re telling me that the same hands you’ve been playing with my tits with have touched a wrinkled old prune? Even more privately?”

You figure to let this one out before your familiar blows up literally. “As I said before, that’s very impolite. I said that the king had fed me before – it is custom after a great victory for the general to be given a piece of food directly from the highest ranking noble’s fork. Do you mean to tell me that you actually thought I had sex with the RSK’s king? Or with Maloric?”

And with that Gnome almost visibly deflates. Then she flares up again, face growing red and ready to burst… and then she deflates again. “Oh, that’s what you mean by not sleeping with them…”

Finally, after all this, you let your poker face slip, as Mal continues his hysterics. Gnome collapses into her chair, looking exhausted. Sala holds a piece of steak in front of you, looking very interested.

“So, you’ve played with Gnomey’s balloons?” she asks innocently.

Gnome shoots back up, summoning energy once more. “No, we’re not talking about this.”

“You brought it up,” Sala says, pouting, as you eat the steak in front of you.

“Oho, if we’re going to do this then what about you not telling me you slept with Talon?” Gnome responds.

Sala’s grin doesn’t budge for a second. “I guess I forgot. I slept with Talon. Now that’s over with, what was that about your playtime with Tallie?”

Gnome falters, but you doubt she’ll stay down. Do you…

>1.

You decide to calmly watch them, even if your weakness makes it impossible for you to feed yourself right now.

Gnome fires back, “That’s right, I did have some fun with Talon. And I’ll bet he enjoyed it more than he did his time with you. I have so much more to offer.”

Sala’s grin dims slightly as she stands and points at her sister. “So you have been sleeping with him, then!”

Gnome falters, “Well, no, but – that’s nothing I said! I’m not like you. I take my time.”

Sala waves her hand back and forth, continuing to grin. “You don’t need to lie – Tallie told me all about it. How you’ve been giving him lots of experience in these lunch breaks.”

Gnome’s gaze suddenly pierces you and you freeze. Goddammit, Sala, you think. You’ve been thrown to the wolves – and over something Sala knows isn’t true.

“Talon, is that true?” your familiar asks you.

“You know as well as I do what we do in our breaks,” you protest.

“That wasn’t the question.”

“I already corrected the record with Sala, she’s just teasing you,” you say. Then realise that was a mistake.

“You told her that we- No, you know what, screw it,” Gnome says, and you fear the worst. “Sala, I’m holding you up on your end of the bargain – you tell me everything after this lunch. Talon, you sit down and let me feed you.”

And the lunch goes exactly as she planned. Except for the fact that you and Mal don’t hesitate to fight back as the pair try to tease you.

“You know,” Mal tells you afterwards, as he tries to cure your exhaustion, “I think that’s the most fun Sala’s been. We should do this more often.
