Lailah: “I approve.”
Valerie: “I’m okay with it.”
Eris: “We know that you’ve been troubled over this, but there is no need to be.”
Audrina: “As long as she’s the last one, I won’t punish you… Unless you want me to.”
Lisa: “She seems to love you genuinely so I don’t mind her becoming our sister.”
Bekka: “I know this doesn’t have anything to do with the conversation right now, but what’s for dinner?”
Seras: “Are we going to make things official here or are we going to our room?”𝑶𝓋𝗅xt.𝗰𝑂
Lillian was touched by the fact that all of Abaddon’s wives seemed to have accepted her without batting an eye.
She knew just how difficult it was to gain their approval, as even though there were women around Abaddon that they liked they still did not want them as a sister.
But for some reason they liked her enough that they were willing to share the one thing they valued most.
“Thank you all for being so accepting of me…” Lillian said with tears in her eyes. “I will do everything I can to be the best-“
“Shh.”
Suddenly, Audrina pressed her finger against Lillian’s plump lips and gave her a reassuring hug.”We know your heart dear, there’s no need to cry on such a special day.”
The rest of the wives nodded in agreement and soon they were all engulfed in a large group hug with Abaddon and Lillian at the center.
“This is our family. We love each other, we protect each other, and we never let each other stay depressed for long. This relationship is more than love, it is devotion.” Lisa said warmly.
“Now that you’re a part of this that means you must also follow our same ideology.” Valerie added.
“And some additional secrets that we’ll fill you in on when we’re alone.”
“Do I get to know?” Abaddon asked.
“””””””No!”””””””
He already figured that would be the answer, but just once he was hoping to be wrong about something.
Lillian laughed cutely and wormed her way further into the hearts of her husband and all of her new sisters, and Seras finally posed an idea that she’d previously already mentioned.
“Seriously… bedroom or here?”
“Are you aware that your sex drive has heightened after you gave birth?” Abaddon asked.
“Yes, that’s why I keep asking if we’re going to fuck here or in our bedroom!”
If she had to ask again and received no answer she was just going to strip right here and leap at her husband and whichever of her sisters who was closest.
Abaddon could hear Lillian’s heart begin to speed up as her face became slightly red.
He could not tell if it was from a sense of panic or nerves so he decided to give her body a reassuring squeeze.
“We will not ask you to do anything you aren’t comfortable with. Whether you give your body to me or not you are still my wife.”
It couldn’t be easy for Lillian to be comfortable with the idea of sex.
Especially since it was what killed her before.
Abaddon was almost ninety percent are that she would have some lingering trauma from such a thing, so just like he did with Lailah on the first night he came to this world, he would wait until she was comfortable.
And if that day never came, it didn’t really matter to him.
She was by his side, she had been accepted by all of his wives and she had been given new life.
Was anything else important?
Lillian looked up to see that everyone was giving her patient faces.
They wanted to be intimate with her while still being conscious of the fact that she might never be willing and such a time might never come.
“Everyone, I-“
*Growl!*
Everyone turned their heads to find cute and furry eared Bekka wearing an embarrassed expression as she clutched her stomach.
“D-Don’t look at me like that! I tried to hint to you guys that I was hungry!”
Laughter ensued followed by the light patting of Bekka’s stomach and a solid idea of where the group’s next destination would be.
Abaddon took Lillian and Audrina by the hand as they were the closest to him and he began walking towards the door.
–
Abaddon and his wives found themselves in the dining room of their manor, enjoying a hastily prepared feast as well as each other’s company.
As always, Abaddon was seated at the head of the table but he wasn’t really eating.
Since he and Lillian were newlyweds, she was sitting comfortably in his lap while he buried his face in her neck.
‘I thought I felt complete before but… This is true bliss.’ He thought warmly.
Lillian was soft and she smelled lightly of citrus, and she had an inviting warmth that was going to lull him right back to sleep if he wasn’t careful.
“Oh wow…” Lillian suddenly said.
“Is it poking you, sister?” Lailah guessed.
Audrina: “I know it seems like it won’t fit but husband’s abilities will turn any discomfort into indescribable pleasure~”
Valerie: “Do you want a demonstration? Bekka’s almost had her fill so I think we can clear this table away now.”
Bekka: “Nom, nom, nom!” (Wait! I want the triplets to bring me another steak and a calzone!)
Lisa: “Those foods don’t go together…”
*Gulp* “Says who?”
Lillian blushed as she realized that her sisters really were up for degeneracy at any place and any time.
“Ah, no it’s not that…W-Well it is poking me but, look!”
The tiger-kin suddenly held up her hand and it changed into a lobster claw right in front of everyone.
Abaddon opened a single eye as he glanced at Lillian’s hand without showing a modicum of surprise.
“I thought that something like that might happen. You’re just like me now in a sense and can take on characteristics of things you eat. No doubt it has to do with how you were resurrected.”
“Ahh I see…” Lillian muttered excitedly.
After being brought back to life, she realized that she could no longer evolve.
She was a bit worried that she would fall to far behind her new family in strength, but with an ability like this, she could keep growing alongside them.
‘I… really feel like I am apart of them now.’
“Can I crack your hand open and eat it?” Bekka suddenly asked.
“Eeep!”
As the nine of them burst into more laughter, they suddenly heard he sound of the front door opening.
“Oh, the kids are… home?” Seras turned her head in confusion when she felt two unfamiliar auras accompanying their oldest children.
A moment later, Thea and Apophis entered and they were accompanied by some known yet unfamiliar faces.
Before anything was said, Apophis noticed how his father was embracing Lillian, and telepathically voiced his approval.
‘Do you see? Father looks much happier like this.’
‘My son… I grow prouder of you everyday. Thank you, I truly feel complete now.’
Apophis showed an uncharacteristically wide smile just as Eris finally asked why there were two princesses in their dining room.
“Children… where did you find these guests?”
“On the streets, mother!” Thea said with a smile.
‘D-Don’t make it sound like we were begging!’ Claire and Jasmine were equally horrified.
“Oh? Rather strange for two princesses to come all the way to a foreign continent with no escort or supervision.” Abaddon said without opening his eyes.
Both of the phoenix sisters were fighting the urge not to tremble.
Even without opening his eyes or speaking in a threatening manner, his natural aura was so oppressive and frightening that they did not know if they could stomach it.
If their mother’s aura was regal and all encompassing, Abaddon’s was dark and grim, and it threatened to swallow everything up.
“They did come with an escort father, but they have found other accommodations. Apophis and I wish for Thea and Jasmine to stay here.”
‘S-She just blurted it out like that!’ Jasmine had begun to panic internally.
‘We are going to die, we are going to die…’ Claire had already begun mentally writing her will.
None of the wives said anything and they all turned towards their husband as they waited for his verdict.
Abaddon finally opened his eyes and casually glanced at the two girls who were practically hiding behind his children.
“Thea… Apophis… do you understand what you’re asking?”
“… I do father, I do not ask this lightly. “
“… I admit it would be nice.”
Both of his children knew that he would have to declare war on their nation in the near future.
There was always a chance that the two girls would feel betrayed and come to resent his children, and he did not want them to endure such a heartbreak.
But still, Abaddon delved into their minds to warn them one final time.
‘My children… the relationship that you are building with these two will be a hard one, and there will undoubtedly be some pain involved.
If you chose to pursue them with that knowledge in mind, then you must commit yourselves to spend the rest of your days making up for this.’
Thea smiled warmly as she displayed a hint of thoughtfulness behind her carefree eyes. ‘ I will father… I am genuinely interested in this woman and I want to do right by her.’
‘I am not as good at this as sister, but I will try my best.’ Apophis thought.
Abaddon finally relaxed just a bit as he rested his head back into Lillian’s neck.
“Claire and Jasmine, right?”
“Y-Yes, Emper-“
“Please, none of that.” Abaddon dismissed.
“You’ll find I’m not big on formality during your stay here. I hope that the two of you are more than comfortable, and I hope you have a beautiful relationship with my children.”
“W-We’re just friends, sir!” Jasmine said with a red face.
“Y-Yes! Strictly platonic.” Claire nodded her head so hard it seemed like her glasses were going to fly off her face.
“Strictly, huh? How funny.” He said with a small smile.
This earned giggles from all of his wives and the faces of the two girls only became redder and redder.
“I-I’m sorry sir but I must ask… do you truly not have a problem with us staying here?” Claire said shakily.
“Y-Yea, I mean aren’t you worried that we’ll spy on you or something?” Echoed Jasmine.
As royals, they knew full well that the way they had shown up would be considered rude.
Besides, wasn’t he too casual about letting strangers into his home?
“Not particularly? My lovely wife Valerie has certainly made this place large enough, and I’m not really one to refuse the sincere requests of my children anyways.”
Abaddon suddenly smiled humorously with his eyes closed as if he were having a funny dream.
“And as far as you spying goes, there would be no point. I do not have any sort of secret for you to leverage and besides, I think the two of you will have your hands full with my children.”
Thea smirked as if she was having some thoughts that would give her father a heart attack and cause him to curl up in a corner.
“Well… then we thank you for your hospitality.” Jasmine said as she bowed deeply.
Claire followed her example, and the two of them stood back up just as a new face entered the dining room carrying a tray.
“Alright, Mother Bekka, it’s here!”
“Hooray!”
Nita set down Bekka’s odd food request and realized that there were additional guests in the dining room.
“Ah, Hello! I am one of the head maids of the manor and the wife of princess Thea. It is very nice to meet you.”
For a moment, Jasmine’s eye began to twitch as if she had just heard something ludicrous.
“You… what?”
For some reason, Abaddon and his wives smirked as they seemingly all had the same thought at once.
‘This will be amusing… we should have guests more often.’
