319 ?????
Aegis was sitting behind his desk as he was working on some projects now that Solitas was in a rare case of peace, occasional demon intrusions didn't count...
Aegis looked at the two little baby beds near him, somehow, somehow rather than being in their own room, Willow said it would be good for children to be with their dad, and Aegis had no strength to say no, as such, they ended up in there, both Wynn and Wynne were calm and peaceful children, Wynn seemed to like, no not like but love the sleep, as such outside of times she needed to by fed or having her diapers changed, and wasn't that always fun for Aegis? She was mostly deeply asleep...
Wynne, on the other hand, his other daughter, who was older in a soul that she looked, was mostly always awake and, thanks to the positions of beds, fully in the sigh of Aegis holo-screens where his projects and Solitas condition were fully on display, Aegis even had little fun in showing not so secret things Album or Moira worked, always mentally smirking at the gobsmacked expression of his daughter...
Still, it was a week from their birth, and thankfully both his daughters were alright, no, not just alright, from what Aegis could sense, thanks to his close ties to Gaia, Death, and Zoe, Aegis could sense an enormous potential in his daughters, in both magic and body, already Aegis could see how enormous their Aura's would by once unlocked...
There Aegis frowned, he could sense something foreign in Wynne, and when he looked deeper, Aegis scowled, the sole reason Aegis didn't outright rip off the thing that tied itself to his daughter was that he feared hurting Wynne and that not long after their birth Zoe herself came to him and told Aegis he doesn't need to worry, that she overwrote the thing in Wynne to herself, so even if Aegis was still little unsure if he liked his Wynne being tied to Zoe, it was much better it was Zoe and not some other being...
"Your majesty."
Aegis shook himself from his thoughts as he looked at the screen, noticing Wynne too looked, hm, if she would act like this, Aegis knew sooner or later Cinder, Salem, or Weiss would find out Wynne's reincarnation thing, from what Aegis noticed Album already knew but stayed silent for Aegis sake...
"Ilia, how many times have I told you to call me more familiarly?"
Aegis said with a smile, and Ilia winced in bashfulness.
"I thought that was to be used just in private... brother."
"Im king, I chose what can or cant be right, you have all right to call me brother or Aegis on any occasion, so why did you call me? It's not like you weren't there yesterday to look at my twins."
Aegis asked with a smile, the week after the twin's birth was quite full with all of Aegis's harem, family friends, or just friends coming congratulating or just looking on the twins, Aegis night itself weren't very peaceful as Weiss, Harriet, and Pyrrha who were mostly away used the chance to milk him of any of his sperm...
That said, even with the wonders of Solitas medical care, Aegis and Willow abstained from any sexual thing, as they just mostly cuddled, sometimes with twins in between them, Aegis found it funny how red Wynne went when she saw him naked after all Aegis never these days slept in anything, still, it was always wonderful feeling having his children sleeping next to or on him, Wynn particularly seemed to love cuddling with her father, something Aegis had no problem with...
"Yes... Well, there is that, and there is this, Thor of Asgard race asked for an official diplomatic meeting with members of Schnee family, mainly you or someone other who can make choices in Solitas name."
Ilia said, making Aegis hum, in thought, from what all he could see, Asgardians of this universe were one of the really few races Aegis would call worthy of being Solitas friend, even if they were quite tunnel-sighted, in the way they couldn't quite easily think outside of the box as humans mostly did, they were honorable and overall quite kind race...
Pluss, Aegis wanted to spite Alterans or Lanteans in a way that he would help Asgards with their cloning deficiency...
"Well, talk with Album and make an appointment for me, or no..."
Aegis stopped as he thought.
"Tell Winter, I think it is a good time for her to finally take a bigger part in Solitas politic theater than just Commander of Royal Guard."
Aegis said, making Ilia widen her eyes for a little, but then she nodded as Aegis too saw Album no her head on another screen.
"Well, Ok then, im going back to work, er..."
"Hm?"
"Could... Could we take some time, er, time together, just you, me... And er... Blake?"
Ilia asked with red cheeks, and Aegis quirked an eyebrow.
"I take it your crush on Blake still didn't go away?"
"Well, it, it's not strong... Not like previously! But... I..."
"You want to have three-way sex."
Aegis said with a deadpan voice and knew he struck gold as Ilia's cheeks reddened, Aegis knew Ilia felt something for Blake a long ago before she felt something for him, unfortunately for Ilia, Blake didn't feel anything other than the friendliness for Ilia...
Still, Aegis loved both of them enough to let Ilia deal with it for herself.
"You know if Blake wouldn't want to, there will not be anything, right?"
"OF COURSE! I mean, yes! I just... I just think it would be good to finally..."
"To finally close this chapter of emotions?"
"Yes..."
Ilia said with a downtrodden face as Aegis kindly smiled.
"I don't mind taking time off just for you or Blake, so yes, we can go on a three-way date on any day you find best."
Aegis said, making Ilia look at him with a smile, Aegis knew she just felt a little crush on him, but if nurtured correctly, even her being mostly lesbian and later bisexual, Ilia would make Aegis an exception in her heart...
"Im going bye!"
Before Aegis could continue, he saw how Ilia bashfully ended the call, but not before letting him see how her chameleon faunus abilities made all her skin go pink...
"That girl..."
Aegis shook his head and then looked at Wynne, who was watching him and the screen with wide eyes.
"And what about you, you little rascal? Hm? You know that without enough sleep, you wouldn't grow into the beauties your mothers and sisters are, hm?"
Aegis said teasingly as he watched Wynne's eyes widen and then make some sounds with what sounded like an angry voice.
--------------------------
"YOU ASSHOLE!"
The now named Wynne screamed, but all that went through her lips were burping sounds and squeaks of protest...
---------------------------
Aegis smiled as he kissed Wynne's forehead, making her go unnaturally quiet...
"Go sleep, little one, your dad wouldn't go anywhere."
Aegis soothingly said as he started to humm for Wynne...
--------------------------
"Huh? So sleepy... Why?"
Wynne wondered as she just listened to Aegis, no... Her father's humming as her eyelids slowly closed...
----------------------------
Aegis smiled as he watched Wynne finally asleep, nodding to himself. Aegis went back to his desk as he reviewed other reports, this time the ones with more drastic or traumatic elements in them, the ones Aegis didn't wish for Wynne's young eyes to see...
---------------------------
"..."
Jeanne d'Arc looked with an unnatural frosty expression at the girl who was kneeling before her, and then Pyrrha, her master who was on her left side, looked at them with a sad yet knowing smile...
"...You joined a terrorist organization, wielding my name and legacy..."
"WE AREN'T TERRORISTS! WE ARE HEROES!"
Jeanne shot a withering gaze at the younger Jeanne, her... Successor? A legacy? A descendant?
"Do not try to mitigate your crimes, I read the reports King Aegis gathered about your's 'Hero Team' there was nothing heroic of just in your methods or goals, all you have done was to appease the ego of children who dared to take names of their predecessors names and call themselves as them."
Jeanne said as she sighed, truly, she didn't think, or truly wanted to ever deal with a case like this, to see her name and legacy being used like this, Jeanne wondered what her Alter self would do...
Snorting, Alter Jeanne would just burn the girl who now kneeled before her alive, just like a witch as they once were...
No, Jeanne swore to never let her Alter self see or meet this Jeanne girl, even if Alter Jeanne was evil and wouldn't mind killing innocents, even her Alter self had a sense of honor, and the hypocrisy these members of Hero Team done wouldn't make Alter Jeanne go berserker, especially knowing one of them was their descendant or incarnation...
"Master."
Ultimately Jeanne looked at Pyrrha, who looked at her.
"Yes?"
"I ask you to let me train this taint on my name or kill her myself if I fail in cleansing her of her false and flawed ideals."
Jeanne said without any pity nor remorse usually, she would be more accepting and kind, just as her Lord commands, but this before her, this little Jeanne was her fault, not truly her fault, but to Jeanne, she was her responsibility...
"I... Are you sure, Jeanne?"
Pyrrha asked in a kind, but unsure voice and Jeanne just nodded her head.
"I... I see, then yes, you can, I don't think headmaster or teachers would be against letting you use their facilities or rooms if a big brother asks..."
Pyrrha finally said.
"Thank you, master, and I will thank King Aegis myself when I can."
Jeanne finally said with a small smile that Pyrrha returned to her.
All the while, Jeanne, the one with sacred gear, paled, somehow, somehow she knew she wouldn't have an easy future...
What she didn't know was that her 'friends' from her Hero team were in a worse situation...
----------------------------
"Interesting device..."
Merlin muttered as she viewed the sacred gears, Morgana and Semiramis near her as Moira tipped something on the screen.
"This is the work of Yahweh?"
"The God of Christianity, you mean."
"Potato potato... These two were like Greek and Roman deities, both same Gods just under different avatars..."
Morgana said to Moira, who frowned in thought.
"I see..."
Moira muttered as she tipped something on her scroll for later research.
"Still, to think he would use a spear that killed his son like this, that man was always ruthless, still his knowledge of creation is without equal."
Morgana said.
"Yes, truly interesting design, to think this device bury into mortals souls, giving them its strength and abilities..."
Semiramis muttered as ideas flowed in her head, she would normally be more withdrawn or arrogant, but Semiramis long ago found out that the people who were with her in the room could be truly called equal when it came to knowledge...
"Miss Semiramis."
"Hm? Yes, construct?"
Semiramis said to Album, who shot her tongue.
"You wanted to meet with a big brother about your idea of... Strengthening Wynn and Wynne with your potions..."
"Ah, yes, I remember having this conversation..."
Semiramis said with a smile, Morgana just looked at her.
"If something happens to them."
"Don't bore me with your threats, if something bad happens, I won't live second longer with the King present..."
Semiramis uncaringly said, and Morgana just nodded her head, Merlin, who looked at Morgana, hid a smile, who knew that the normally unfeeling Morgana would feel something for the twin children of the man she wanted to bed...
