Arpious of the Planes

"Is this… for me?" She asked, a bit stunned, and I noticed a change in her personality.

"Of course. Anything for my lovely daughter…." I said, and it seems Hepha didn't even realize that she was crying.

"Come here… Let me give you a hug,"

"Mm… Okay,"

I neglected her for so long that she probably didn't even realize that she's been begging for my praise.

Whether that be through her actions, such as trying to garner her own harem or trying to show off against people much weaker than her.

She must've noticed my cold nature while fighting and tried to copy it, thinking she'll be as strong as me, but to be honest, she won't.

Her skills are meant more for ruling rather than actual fighting, meaning I expect her to create her own kingdom in the future.

It doesn't have to be on this plane, but any other plane that she chooses… unless she wants to conquer the sirens in any way possible.

"I hate you! I hate you! I hate you!" She cried, pinching my arm, so I turned on my immunities in order to let her take her pent-up anger out on me.

"I'm sorry… Now, try the bracelet on. It should fit you perfectly," I said as I had jewelry made for her when she was a small child, and thankfully, her wrists hadn't grown any thicker.

She was thin and not muscular at all, exactly like me.

"*sniff*... Okay…" She muttered before slowly pushing the bracelet over her hand and letting it rest on her wrist.

It fit her perfectly.

She began to cry into my embrace again, and as a good mother should, I let her continue and continue, even when she soaked my dress, even when her eyes ran dry, and even until she fell asleep from exhaustion.

I carried her through the palace to her own room, where I saw two frost moths whom I assumed to be her girlfriends.

They were indeed beautiful but not quite my type as they were pretty flat…. Wait, does that mean she has a mom complex?

Must I be overthinking this… right? That would mean the subconscious thought of wanting to be closer to me was so strong… that it even influenced her taste in women.

"Goddammit… I'm such a terrible parent," I muttered, coming to terms with it again.

On that damned corrupted plane, I regretted my choice of leaving my comfy family and leaving my children to take care of themselves, especially Flora, who was still just a child.

These thoughts ate away in my mind, and I kept telling myself that I was a bad parent despite them being able to take care of themselves.

They had grown up, and it's not like Flora would be lonely without me… but I still blamed myself.

My attachment towards my children was strong, to say the least.

"Take care of her," I told the two girls before giving them a wink as I pranced out of the grand and fancy room, coated in white furniture.

…

A few weeks have passed, and the wedding finally came.

What seemed to be every single citizen in the kingdom of frost moths attended, Hepha and her two girlfriends, and even some representatives from the other kingdoms… the demons watched from the shadows, though.

The older brother dragon kept congratulating me with tears flowing down his face, creating a funny and hilarious sight each time I glanced at the top of the buildings.

We had grown quite close to each other like real siblings, but that also means we had our times where we argued quite a lot.

It took a few of the succubi to split us up and let us stay away from each other for about a week or so, and after, we just slowly rekindled our relationship again.

He was an interesting guy, and we shared tons of similarities… though I know we also had our own secrets that we hadn't explained yet.

"This is the first time I've done a marriage with four people, so I guess I'll just say it. You may kiss the bride,"

As soon as the man in a tuxedo next to me announced the eventful words, Loni lifted up the black veil from my face and gave me a lovely kiss.

I then moved down the line to Lisa, who gave me a warm kiss, and then finally Fol who gave me the longest kiss.

"I shall now announce you all husba- wife and wives," The man said, and everybody chuckled a bit before we all hugged each other.

But, now that everything was done… it was time to party!

The post-marriage party lasted exactly seven days and seven nights, and by the end of it, everybody was exhausted but satisfied.

Though not everything went smoothly as the frost drake nobles who came to congratulate me tried to stir up a few problems, but we managed to maneuver around them without much trouble… it was simple. Just kill them.

Our relationship between the kingdoms was already terrible, and even though it was the beer talking when the king made the decision, it was still slightly smart.

…

A few more days have passed, and I noticed an acute stinging pain coming from my stomach.

But when I went to go check it out after seeing my healing skills not doing anything, something unexpected happened.

"Miss… It seems you're pregnant," The doctor informed me with a weary smile.

"Oh my… Well… Ummmmm…"

"Congratulations," The doctor applauded me and this still didn't feel that reality as I didn't expect to actually get pregnant so quickly.

I thought it would take at least a few more weeks… but it's happening all of a sudden and I wasn't prepared.

"Please don't worry miss. If you ever have any questions, please feel free to ask me and I'll make sure you have a smooth procedure… Oh, I would also like to congratulate you on your marriage. The party was wonderful as well,"

"Oh, thanks," I said as I rubbed the back of my head.
