  "Yhness, Lady Isda has sent you a letter," A servant says.

  "Oh, thank you. I was starting to get worried she had fotten about us already. Set it on the desk; I'll get to it once I'm dressed," I say.

  "As you wish, yhness," she says, bowing out of the room once she sets the letter down. My maids tio work the many straps to put on my full pte armor.

  We stopped in a small town just a few days ride from our destination, where I took over the mayor's house for ht here. I never like kig them out of their own home, but it wouldn't look good for a prio camp when there are homes nearby. Plus, the mayors always insist, normally to pitch their town's problems for me to solve. And this town's problem is a simple one for my little group to fix.

  A small den of goblins and a few orcs have made a cave nearby a home. Annoying things, really. They love the taste of our flesh more than anything; the only ce to walk out of their camp is for you to be caught in a big group and be one of the st chosen to roast over the fire. If they eat their full befetting to you, you instead get passed around a bit. If you're lucky, some adventurers e to save you the day before the fires start up agai even more fortunate, and you'll have a kid in nine months.

  A very traumatic way to get a kid, but you get a kid, and you o look on the bright side of things after seeing a few people get roasted aen before you get raped.

  So far, the vilge has lost two people to the group. I had Vanya, my other warrior, scout the cave out yesterday, and she came back saying there were about a dozen goblins and just two orcs. It should be easy enough to let some maids get some levels. Sextia he levels the most; I 't believe her family let her still be on her first css at the age of twenty-two. She's going to have a lot of work to do before she's useful on her own. She'll be doing the majority of the killing today. Really she should've been the oo do the scouting, being able to hide in the shadows and all, but her shit power doesn't let her do even that safely.

  "All set, yhness."

  "Thank you, tell Inanos I'll be out shortly," I tell the maid. I don't want tet about the letter so I better read it now. I'll have to write the respoer unfortunately.

  'Hello, honey,

  Everything is ing along nicely in the manor. The food is stocked, our celr is filling up, and the furniture is all set now. The food is great, so dinner will be special when you all get back here.

  I've had a few more requests, nothing to the level of griffins, but enough to sponsor some adveo head out and help. I offered some extra rewards for clearing out some roads along the way as well to help keep some trade routes safe. That tio be the most desired improvement. The Duchess is also looking to schedule a meeting with us over the marriage deal. I let them know you are out for a while, but you'll o have the meeting once you are back. Fluvis doesn't want to be too big during the meeting.

  And talking about pregnant women, I'm growing in nicely. There is nothing to worry about with me. Alzi is getting very big. A few maids got a massage to let me know how she is. They all came back saying she's full term, pop any day now. So, she may join us a bit soohan we expected.

  With that I have secured the extra spot for her at the young nobility party. I filled her in as a man joining. It was easier to get her in that way.

  Oh, and the assassin guild was hit hard. Lost some of their top guards and rumors that the perpetratot away with what they wanted. Most assume it was Yuki and Nakuma who retly arrived. Guess they wanted revenge for attag Mai. Queen even got involved, so it's likely resolved now, but still an iing development and ohat pisses off some nobles.

  Lastly I finally made it out to the temples. Had to go out to the capital to check with the Goddess of the Hearth. She pointed me to the Goddess of Fertility where I made it to the Goddess of Sex. I really am her angel, and those dreams were a mission to fuck Alzi a pregnant.

  Not sure how to feel about it.

  Love,

  Yel Isda'

  She's been busy, already helpih handling the guild items, taking care of the party, and taking care of the Duchess. She's right that a wife is the best person to mahe home.

  I'll be sending back plenty of praise for her. I hope the Goddess doesn't demand too much from her, though it seems Alzi and Isda are destined for each other. The angel might turn into a perma guest in Alzi's bed if she had a mission to get pregnant on her birthday.

  She'll need some fort for that. Most girls want a few kids if they get them, but to be pregnant for years on end with no sign of stopping has to be a nightmare. Not sure how Alzi ha even with her csses.

  "Honey, we o get going, or we'll be te getting to Lilin tomorrow. So hurry your ass up!"

  "I'm ing!" I yell out the window. I'll have to write my response when I get to Lilin instead of tonight.

  I'm the st to e out. My wives and some maids standing in a circle waiting for me to e out.

  "Sorry for the dey. I got a letter from Isda I wao read." I say, taking a look at all of them. "Alright, time to head out. We've got some green bastards to kill."

  The rest of the maids have our horses ready just outside the towing us quickly ride out to the cave.

  I brought all my wives except for Isda on this little adventure, and they're all ing out on this extermination. Not that we'll all fit ihe cave; Elyne won't be able to turn around ih her horse body, aa, with her oversized armor, won't make it through some of the tight corridors. Not that it matters; Sextia is going to be doing all the killing. We're just here to keep her from getting killed.

  And talking about that zy elf, she ridio me. The short little thing looks calm, but her right hand gives it away. The shaking reigns try to fuse the trained war horse.

  "Sextia, you'll be fine. I'll be with you, along with most of my wives. You may walk away with some scratches, but you won't be seriously injured," I call out to her. "I know you've been in some fights before, or you wouldn't have levels. This is some of the safest experiences you get."

  "Yes, yhness. I have dohis kind of thing before, just my body gets a little scared when I think of it."

  "Don't worry, it'll stop with practice. We'll be stopping a lot more on the way back. I'll get you plenty of practid maybe a new css."

  "Thank you, yhness," Sextia says.

  I give her a little chuckle and start to focus on preparing myself. The goblins and orcs will be easy, but you never know what else is hiding in the forest. I thought ing Annoris, the dryad that will be serving Alzi, but dryads don't travel well, they like to take their time getting used to the new enviro a distracted helping the nearby trees. To get any use out of here, we would've o push this attack back a day or two, which I don't have.

  The reports from Lilin show the Griffins are getting more active. We'll be killing the goblins and rag off.

  Our horses quickly carry us down the road and through the forest. The cave is about a mile into the forest, then south of the road. The few who 't make it into the cave will stay with the horses as the rest travel through the dense underbrush.

  "Alright, this should be the closest spot from the road," Vanya calls out, stopping her horse. The rest follow and dismount. Elyne aa round up the horses as we all gather at the edge of the forest.

  "Ok, most of our jobs will be to watch out for any ued ehe goblins and orcs will be killed by Sextia, but if you o attack for safety, do so. o have anyone walk out of here hurt just so Sextia gets one mobli's head out," I say.

  Vanya takes the lead, with me in the back. The mages form a small cluster between us, with the more experienced mages towards the sides aia in the middle.

  Progress is slow as we cut our way through the forest. We quietly s for anything that moves with the small amount of light that makes it through the thick opy above us. This portion of the forest should be retively safe. The town has some fighters that clear out the smaller threats, and they haven't found anything that would suggest a beast strohan the goblins around. But there's no poiing caught off guard.

  After a grueling hour of travel we e to the small opening of the cave. The orcs likely barely make it through the gap. roup won't have much trouble getting in. Most mages just use leather armor, and magic passes through it better thaal, so just me and Vanya will have any worries about passing through. I've got the most muscle of the girls here; Geta beats me out normally, but she isn't here right now. I'll probably scratch it a bit on the way in and out, but nothing the repair entments 't fix on the way to Lilin.

  We give ourselves a short rest before heading ihis time with Sextia right behind Vanya. Each passing through sideways, my armor does indeed scrape the sides on the way in, but we all make it in. Shimmer gives us a bit of light, aart our journey down.

  Vanya reported it wasn't a deep cave; it was just a few turns until it widened out into a room of shorts they'd been using.

  We hear the echoes of them moving around, and they likely hear us ing as well. The metal armor echoes through the small cave.

  Soon, we hear footsteps running to us. The goblins wish to die a bit faster it seems.

  The first screech reached me soon after; they did ihink they could take us on iight caves.

  I 't see the a; too many bodies are in the way. But I hear it: Vanya's short sword and small shield ring out as Sextia casts her magic, bringing out the squeals of dying goblins.

  It took about seven minutes for them to all perish.

  "Anyone hurt?" I ask.

  "No." they all reply, starting with Vanya and w back to Syro, who is right in front of me.

  "Good. How many are dead?"

  "Fifteen bodies. Should be all of them," Vanya replies.

  "Ok, we should check their main cave before heading back."

  "Yes, dear," es back quickly, followed by the sound of Vanya's armor king against the stone.

  Just around the bend is the chamber. A small breeze sweeps through the room, likely bringing in fresh air that lets the idiots start a fire in the cave without suffog themselves. Blood and various body parts cover the floor; just a single se is , likely where they would all sleep. Nobody is alive here to rescue. We'll have to report the death of the few vilges they took. None of us want to look for a body part of one; I doubt the vilgers even want them if they exist in the piles.

  "There's Nothio grab, so let's head back. We report this to the vilge and head out to Lilin. Good job, everyone," I say, taking the lead this time.
