IGIWS: FIRST DRAFT: Ch.324 Dalia's Announcement
🕑 Added 2025-01-29 23:37:23 +0000 UTCRya, Yuliana, Gretchen, Gilbert, and the doctor were all dumbfounded by Rianna's behavior and as the stood there they began to hear moaning coming from the bathroom.
The doctor was the first to leave as he was annoyed with Gilbert for demanding to see the Queen when she was in heat. He grumbled and cursed under his breath when he went beck to his office.
Yuliana couldn't help but to find humans mating behaviors to have no rhyme or reason. Dwarves, Beastkins, and Elves had some patterns but not as random as the human species. She was about to make a comment about it when she realized that Elaine must be hearing the erotic moans of the King and Queen. She ran off back towards Rya's bedroom in a panic and Rya was confused by her mother's behavior. The Dark Elf chased after her leaving Gretchen and Gilbert behind.
Yuliana was frantically looking for Elaine in Rya's bedroom but they were gone Anna was there cleaning up the space with Elise. They told her that the Prince took Nieren and Elaine to the dining hall and the Wood Elf hurriedly hurried her way there.
Rya caught up with her mother and asked, "Is something wrong, mom?"
Yuliana was panting hard and said, "Elaine's never heard a human couple mate, and she's a pure maiden. It would be devastating to her psyche."
Rya looked at her like she was insane. 'She's fourteen years old. And she's lived in an orphanage in the city for how many years? She's had to hear at least a hundred people having sex before. Right?'
Yuliana continued to pant and tried to catch her breath.
Rya grabbed Yuliana by the shoulder and said, "It's okay. You're overthinking things."
Yuliana shook her head, "You don't understand. Elaine is too young to hear such things! She must be at least thirty—NO! Fifty years old before she must know about mating cycles. She is far too young, Ry!"
Rya just raised a brow at her, "Really, mother? How old were you when you were taught about these things?"
"I was a hundred years old," Yuliana said without missing a beat.
"So, you went a hundred years without knowing how woman get pregnant?... You do remember that I'm twenty-seven, right?" Rya asked incredulously.
Yuliana stopped and looked at Rya. She knew her daughter was young and already sexually active with the Prince, but her adopted daughter seemed way more mature than Nieren, and she couldn't hide Nieren from all the sexual activities of the humans and dwarves back in Ironside. She wanted to wait until Nieren turned seventy-five, but she was asking too many questions and she ran off a few times to get work as an adventurer. It was a different time as they were in hiding and she gave in and told Nieren about the birds and the bees at the very young age of thirty-three. But now that they were living in a palace again and she was using her title as Princess. She wasn't going to make the same mistakes again. She was going to raise Elaine like a proper Wood Elf Princess or she took might hollow Nieren's footsteps and want to become an adventurer.
Rya shook her head and said, "She's fourteen and half human, Mom. She probably knows something about—"
"Tut! Tut! Tut!... I had to teach Nier about this far sooner than I would have liked, and you were already doing things with Prince Quinus before I adopted you," Yuliana interrupted.
Rya looked at her like she was being dramatic.
"Elaine maybe a Half-Elf, but she's my daughter and I won't make the same concessions with her," Yuliana said and then walked down the hallway. "If she learns things too soon, then she'll get crazy ideas in her head, like maybe she should become an adventurer and say that learning the Green Word is stupid, forsaking her elven heritage!"
Rya shook her head, 'Damn. Someone is projecting a lot of themselves onto Elaine,' Rya thought.
"Mom... You didn't fail Nieren. She became a great warrior and an a princess. Sure, she was a bit resistant to doing all the elven stuff, but she's coming around. Hell, she's even getting in more touch with her feminine side, and it's great to see her so happy," Rya said.
Yuliana looked over her shoulder and sighed, "You're right. She would have never been able to use the Green Word until you came into our lives... I.. I just feel like I failed her as a mother. And now Elaine is in this world that is new to her and I don't want her to lose her way," Yuliana said as she stopped and turned around.
"Elaine is a smart kid, and we'll help her through it," Rya reassured.
"Thanks. For everything, Ry. You're the second best thing that's happened to our family," Yuliana said as she looked at Rya with a motherly smile.
Rya smiled, "And you're the second best thing that happened to me."
Yuliana's eyes widened and she quickly hugged Rya and buried the Dark Elf's face into her large bosoms.
'She's the best daughter a mother could ask for. And she's pregnant with Quinus' child! How can't she see the signs?... Haah. For how smart and powerful she is, she is dense when it comes to her body. But I love her like she was my own blood,' Yuliana thought.
"What would I do without you?" Yuliana asked.
"Hmm," Rya mumbled, 'Yuliana's tits suffocating me!'
Yuliana released Rya and wiped her eyes. "I know... I think you would make a great mother, someday."
Rya took sometime to regain her composer and then replied, "Huh? Oh, um, maybe someday. It's annoying that I don't know if I will get pregnant. Elven cycles are way too long. Who knows when I'll ovulate," Rya sighed while straightening up her hair.
Yuliana glanced down at Rya's belly, which was hidden in her dress, 'It looks like it's already happened.'
Rya looked at Yuliana, who was lost in thought.
"Um, Yuliana, we should get breakfast with the others," Rya said.
Yuliana looked confused for a second, but then smiled. "Yeah, we should. I'll meet you in the dining room," Yuliana said.
Rya nodded, "Alright. See ya there," Rya said as she walked down the hall.
'She really has no idea, huh? I wonder when she'll notice her stomach getting bigger. Or will she ignore the signs and believe it's all the food she's been eating? Either way, she's going to be a mother soon and she will become the bride of the Crown Prince,' Yuliana thought as a smile crossed her face.
After Rya was far enough away Yuliana hurried back over to her conservatory to gather more prenatal nutrients for her daughter. She was going to need plenty of nutrition before the pregnancy was over.
***
Rya made her way to the dining hall where quite a few people were already gathered. She saw that Tayna and Johan were already seated and talking with Quinus. While Nieren and Elaine were sitting next to Tayna. The girls would have been chatting it up but they were distracted by Dalia's behavior. The Wolfkin was practically hovering around Percy like a moth drawn to a flame. The human male was used to the attention by now but Dalia was more doting than ever.
"What's wrong with her?" Nieren asked, "She's not acting right. Something's up with her."
"Who knows," Tayna replied, "Maybe she's finally lost it?"
"I doubt it," Nieren retorted, "She's goes in and out of thinking she's pregnant. I think there's something else wrong with her. Her wolf side might be making her crazy or something,"
Rya joined the group as they stared at Dalia together as the Wolfkin was feeding Percy who was enjoying the attention his girlfriend was giving him.
"Hey... What did I miss? Why's Dalia acting weird?" Rya asked.
"She's been like that since we got here," Elaine said, "We have no idea what's going on with her."
"Huh. Weird," Rya said as she watched Dalia kiss Percy's cheek.
"Yeah, well, it's probably just some weird mating cycle for her race or something. You know how she gets," Nieren shrugged.
It was at that moment when Dalia and Percy noticed the audience they gathered.
"Um... Is there a problem, guys?" Percy asked, blushing slightly.
"What? No, not at all!" Tayna said quickly, waving her hands, "We were just, uh..."
"ALPHA!" Dalia cheered and hopped off of Percy's lap and hurried around the table making a B-line for Rya, and she was fast.
Dalia threw herself into her Alpha's arms and gave Rya a huge hug.
"Woah!" Rya exclaimed as she almost fell over as Dalia's sudden weight was added.
"Hello, Alpha," Dalia said cheerfully as her baby bump pushed against the Dark Elf's.
"Uh, hi, Dalia, how are you?" Rya asked as she tried not to fall over.
"I'm very good, thank you," Dalia replied, smiling widely, "You're looking very lovely today. May I lick your face?"
"What!? No! Absolutely not! Dalia, get off me!" Rya yelled as Dalia's tongue started flicking out and licking her face, "Gross! Dalia, stop!"
"Aw! Don't be a stick in the mud, Alpha!" Dalia whined, "I'm just showing you my appreciation."
"By licking my face!? What's gotten into you, woman!?" Rya shouted as she managed to get Dalia off her.
Dalia blushed and rubbed her belly, "W-Well?... You wouldn't believe it, but..."
Rya raised her eye right eyebrow, "You're pregnant."
Dalia did a double-take and looked at Rya in surprise. "You know?"
Nieren brought her hand up to her face in annoyance. "Of course we know, dumb wolf! We've been telling you for weeks now! And you've been denying it."
"So you know," Dalia giggled and blushed, "I thought you guys were teasing me. Hell, I even believed you at some points, but then I realized—"
"Dalia!? We weren't teasing you! And you are pregnant you, dumb dog!" Nieren cried out, exasperated.
Dalia just brushed her off, "Oh, you're right, Woody. A virgin totally understands when a female is pregnant. I mean, you never had a heat before or had to worry about your mating cycle."
"Why you! Gah—let me at her!"
Rya and Tayna held back Nieren and stopped her from killing Dalia.
"Hey, hey! Enough, girls," Rya said sternly.
Nieren huffed and glared at Dalia who had a smug smile written all over her face. It was at this time when Yuliana come into the dining hall with some prenatal paste. When the older elf spotted Elaine enjoying the bickering between Nieren and Dalia she hurried over behind her and plugged her ears with her special wooden earplugs that dampened her Elven hearing to human levels.
"Gah!? Mom? What are you doing!?" Elaine exclaimed in shock.
"Um! Y-You need to wear these things at all times! Your ears are much more sensitive than a normal human's. This is for your safety. If you take them out, I'll have no choice but to take drastic measures."
"Mom, what are you talking about? Why are you being so weird?"
Yuliana ignored her youngest daughter's question and continued ranting on, "And you must never play around with fire! Or any flame really."
Elaine tilted her head in confusion, "Fire? Mom, are you okay?"
"Yes! Now keep those earplugs in at all times until you turn 30—No! 40 years old!"
Elaine stared at her mom in utter confusion and bewilderment.
Rya was in a similar boat, 'What the hell is going on with all these women right now!? Is there a full moon or something—'
Rya's thoughts were interrupted when her elven hearing picked up five different sets of couples having sex in different parts of the palace.
'Oh. She's trying to stop Elaine from hearing the others having sex.'
Rya just rolled her eyes at the mother's antics, "Mom... You can't protect her forever. You have to let her grow up."
Yuliana shook her her, "I can and I will! Just like my mother did for me. No daughter of mine is going to become a degenerate—unless she's found her fated partner of course—ha ha!"
Yuliana realized that she almost called her two older daughters degenerates. She cleared her throat awkwardly and tried to hide her embarrassment.
Rya sighed and shook her head. It wasn't worth arguing over. She then turned her attention back to Dalia.
"So, when did you realize that you were pregnant, Dalia?" Rya asked.
Dalia's high and mighty attitude faltered, "Oh, um... When I started lactating this morning... Do you want to see!?"
The Wolfkin reach up to the top of her dress, ready to tear it open.
"No, I'm good," Rya quickly responded grabbed Dalia's hands and moved them away from her chest.
"Aww..."
Rya could feel another headache coming on. She decided to just ignore her and continue talking, "Well, I'm glad you are pregnant, Dalia. You and Percy will be great parents."
Percy felt embarrassed while Dalia's tail began to wag, "Oh, yes! Yes, we will. Our pups will be strong and proud!"
Rya nodded, "Yep. That's right."
She then looked at Percy and asked, "So, where do you plan on raising your family, Percy?"
He looked a bit confused at first but then said, "Oh! Well, we haven't thought about that yet."
He then looked over at Quinus and Johan who were silently watching the whole conversation unfold, and the prince and lord both shook their heads.
"We'll help you find a place close to the palace. I doubt you want to have your kids running here. Lady Rose would be annoyed having servants and guards running all over the place," said the crown prince.
"Oh, thank you!"
Percy was relieved. The palace would be a terrible place to raise children as a retainer. It was too busy, and he didn't want them growing up in the chaos.
Johan spoke up, "You can live near us if you like. My family's manor has plenty of small houses for families and it's only a 15 minute ride to the palace. We can get you situated with one."
Percy's eyes lit up and Dalia grinned happily.
"That would be great, sir!"
"Please, call me Johan. You are my best friend's friend. So, you are my friend too."
Percy blinked, "But, we're not..."
"So, you are trying to steal my best ranger away from me? I thought you were a better friend than that!"
The three boys all looked at each other, and then broke into laughter.
Rya couldn't help but chuckle at the sight. It was nice to see Quinus relaxing and enjoying himself. He needed this.
"Well, looks like you made it, Dalia," Rya said to the Wolfkin.
Dalia looked at her, "I'm sorry?"
"I said you made it. You're getting your own place with Percy, and you have a lot of people looking out for you," Rya answered.
Dalia looked a bit confused, and thought about it for a bit, then smiled, "Yes, I suppose so." She glanced down at her stomach and then back at Rya, "I still can't believe it's real."
"Me neither," Percy added.
Dalia giggled and hurried back over to Percy to dote on him.
The five girls watched Dalia happily fussing over the ranger and Nieren sighed, "I don't know how she didn't see that she was pregnant? We been telling her for weeks maybe a month now. The signs were all there."
Tayna and Rya nodded in agreement.
"Yeah, I can tell you all, that if my body was changing like that I wouldn't be in denial," Rya commented while crossing her arms underneath her breasts.
"Bwah-ha—!?" Yuliana laughed out loud but she covered her mouth to silence herself.
Everyone turned and stared at her and her face was turning a bit red.
"Sorry, I just remembered a good joke that Sir George told me a few days back. Pay me no mind," she explained.
Rya narrowed her eyes as she didn't believe her mother. "What was the joke?" she asked her.
Yuliana looked at her daughter, "What?"
"The joke. What was it?" Rya asked her.
Yuliana hesitated, and Rya knew she was lying, 'Think! Think of a joke,' she thought, and then said the first thing that came to her mind.
"How long does it take to find out when a Elf is pregnant?" Yuliana blurted out.
Nieren raised an eyebrow at her, "Huh?"
"Two years!"
There was a short silence, and then the girls burst into laughter.
"That's lame, Mother," Nieren snickered.
"Sir George has a better chance of becoming a love guru than a jester," Tayna stated.
Rya chuckled, "And why does it take two years?"
Yuliana glanced at Rya belly and smirked, "Because by then she'll be in labor!"
The girls burst out laughing again, and Rya shook her head, "Uh-huh?... Good one, Mom. Maybe you should stop listening to—"
The servants brought out a few trays with breakfast food and they sat down at the table.
'C-Control your appetite, Rya,' she thought, but it was too late.
She picked up a piece of toast, and then took a big bite.
The taste was delicious and she couldn't help but moan.
'S-So tasty,' she thought, and then reached for another.
She bit into the bread and closed her eyes, savoring the flavor.
Nieren and Tayna thought the toast was good too, but Rya was acting like it was the most delicious thing in the world.
Yuliana just shook her head, 'You're just like Dalia. Ignoring the signs... Oh well, maybe she'll figure it out on her own.'
"Rya? Try some of this—um? Elven jam."
Rya opened her eyes, and she looked at a small bowl of greenish paste.
She took the spoon and scooped some of it.
The jam tasted like apples and peaches, and it had a very sweet, tart flavor.
"Oh my, this is really good," she exclaimed.
The other girls took a bite too, but it tasted bitter to them.
'I wonder what the fruit is that's used to make this stuff? It's really good. I've never had anything like it.'
She grabbed the jar and poured a large dollop onto her plate, and then dipped the toast in it.
"Y-You know, I'm starting to think you might be a little bit hungry, Rya," Tayna teased her friend.
Rya blushed and looked away, 'I-I'm not that hungry,' she thought, and took another bite of her toast. 'B-Besides! Mom said to listen to my body's needs... And right now, my stomach is telling me it needs more food.'
Yuliana, Nieren, Elaine, and Tayna chuckled, and then the Ladies joined in as they ate their breakfast.
After finishing her food, Rya took a sip of her water and sighed. She was about to say something when the King and Queen arrived.
Everyone stood up and bowed as they entered the dining hall.
"Good morning, Ladies and Gentlemen," the Queen greeted everyone.
"Morning," Rya replied.
"Good morning," the others said.
"Has Lady Ysandra Fairchild and her sister, arrived yet?" Cyndre asked his butler.
"They will be here in the hour, Your Majesty," Gilbert informed him.
"Very good," the Queen said.
"And..." Gilbert paused and looked down at his clipboard, "The Baron of the Galfrei Domain said he was going to bring his mother here as well."
The King raised his brow, "When did Zellin leave?"
"He took his airship back to the Ironside last night after the party. You mentioned something about his father being bored without his wife around... I'm unfamiliar with dwarven habits, My liege," Gilbert answered.
Cyndre looked at the butler and nodded, "Yes, well... Arathar wasn't one to be kept away from his wife or forge for too long. Why isn't he going back to Ironside?"
Quinus chimed in, "I've been working with him on creating a steam engine and a power plant. Also I was hoping if he could help me create gun powder."
Everyone other than Rya thought that Quinus was speaking in a foreign language. And none of them wanted to ask what the hell he was talking about.
"Th-that's nice son... Anyway, what room would you ladies like to use for planning against the Duchess?" Cyndre asked, wanting to change the subject.
"We'll take the Burrell study," Rianna stated.
"That will do nicely," the King agreed.
"I can't wait to get started," Tayna smiled.
"Well, I hope you are ready, Rya... Because we got a lot to go through... And I would hate to be disappointed after everything you have do to me," Rianna said as narrowed her eyes at the Dark Elf who felt a chill run down her spin.
'Crap! She's pissed about healing her, isn't she... How the fuck was I supposed to know that she become horny after getting a rid of her nausea. What the fuck was I supposed to do...?' Rya thought.
The Queen smirked, and then everyone looked at the Dark Elf who was sweating bullets, 'This is going to be a long day...'
"Uh... Yeah," Rya swallowed.
Rianna clapped her hands and motioned for all the Ladies to follow her, "Well, let's get started."
