"I WANTED TO CUDDLE WITH HER TOO!"


    "Alright, then go take a shower ande join us," I said, making Arpious immediately depressed.


    It was as if the horns on the top of her head were drooping down like sad puppy ears.


    "D-Don''t worry, I won''t let go of you," I consoled her, but her jealousy was out of this world.


    "Ysal, I have to tell you something," She suddenly said.


    I heard arge drop of saliva get squeezed down her throat as she looked into my eyes, more serious than ever.


    It seemed like she was dreading even opening her mouth, but after only a few indecisive seconds, she finally spoke up.


    "I have to go back to my original ne…." She muttered, and I could see the indecisiveness from before slowly trying to w its way back into her.


    But I already expected this.


    "Well, guess what, I''ming with you," I smirked, and the indecisiveness was soon cleared from her expression as she let out a small giggle.


    So cute… ARGHHHHHHH! SHE''S TOO CUTE!


    As I pulled her in for another hug, I could feel the happiness practically overflowing from her once again.


    "I have other things to tell you, but I believe it is best to tell you once we get there. Also, can we leave tomorrow? Or soon, if possible," She requested, and with a warm smile, I said,


    "Sure. You need the subus as well, so I''ll make sure to keep her under wraps. I''ll also be bringing the elven queen, so I hope you don''t mind,"


    "That''s fine. As long as the subuses, I don''t think we''ll have a problem,"


    "Alright… now, get some sleep,"


    And with a slight nod, I saw her slowly drift off into thend of dreams, but I wasn''t done with my day yet, so I slowly scooted her off of me and made my way to the empress'' chambers, where I had something important to discuss.


    The elven queen and the subus quickly followed behind me, and in their fresh new clothes, they looked very cool.


    "You both don''t want any dresses? I can have somebody make the highest quality clothes," I suggested, but both of them just shook their heads side to side.


    "I''m fine. I can move around freely in case I''m in an assassination attempt," The elven empress said, who wore some cool light battle armor.


    The subus, on the other hand, wore very heavy battle armor with her gauntlets in the shape of ws.


    "I thought you would use some impractical skimpy armor," I chuckled while looking the subus up and down.


    "I don''t really need armor as my skin is as tough as magic steel, but I wanted to try something like this out. Surprisingly, it''s very breathable and fits perfectly on me, so I think I''ll use it a bit more until I get bored of it,"


    "Alrighty… now, when we enter the empress'' chambers, you are to not talk. Understood?" I said to both of my newly enved…wives? ves? I don''t know…


    "Yes, ma''am," Both of them replied before I slowly pushed open the wooden doors, revealing the empress working hard at her desk.


    I don''t know why she works so hard, but at least most of the pressure has been taken off her shoulders after she hired a few assistants.


    Three male sun drakes and one female elf who all sat at their own separate desks, reading, signing, or declining papers.


    "Ysal, what is it you want? I''m very busy right now, and if you''re here to y around, then I''m going to have to ask you to leave,"


    "I''m only here to inform you that I''ll be leaving this ne very soon. Arpious must''ve told you about her real reason for being here, right?"


    The empress looked up at me, sighed, and then opened her mouth once again.


    "You''ve been holed up and working for me for so long, so I have no problem with you leaving. Just make sure you take your critters with you cause I don''t want any problems… I don''t want to try taming such assholes who only listen to you," The empress responded.


    "Don''t worry. I''ll be taking the elf and subus with me," I said, but it seems the elf who still had responsibilities here had an objection.


    "Wait, but I still have to take care of my-"


    She attempted to interject, but with a quick re from me, she closed her mouth and diverted her eyes away from mine.


    As a drop of sweat rolled down her cheek, I tossed a few papers at the empress, who looked like she wanted to tear me apart.


    But, upon reading the papers, she couldn''t hold back her smile.


    "This is nice, and all, but more criminal organizations and things will pop up," The empress said before shuffling through more of the papers.


    "And that''s why I created the CES," I said as she read thest paper at an incredible speed.


    The CES stands for Criminal Eradication Services, which is essentially an organization that I have poured most of my money into creating and stabilizing.


    It''s a secret from the public and will take care of any suspicious activities in silence, only revealing themselves when the time is right.


    But, when that happens, the amount of criminal activity will die down once again as the pressure of their presence will weigh down on any guilty consciousness.


    We''re only keeping it a secret for now as the hiring process is taking longer than I thought, but with my trustworthy subordinates, I feel like I don''t have to worry anymore.


    Everything has been set in ce. It''s just turning the gears for the first time that is troublesome, so for now, I don''t have to worry about the organization bing corrupted or possibly just copsing into itself.


    As soon as we left the room, I went to exit the pce, but it seemed I had a feisty elf who needed to be taken care of for a second.
