The dragon's harem

When Arad opened his eyes, he was asleep on a bed in the living room beside the fireplace, getting watched by five maids and Eris.

“You’re finally awake.”

Arad slowly sat up, looked down at himself, and then back at the smiling Eris. “I guess Mom knocked me out.” He rubbed his eyes. “I feel like I got hit with a hammer straight to the brain.”

“From what Merida told me, that was the case. You tried to shove your beauty into her mind, and got jolted instead. If you were anyone else, you could’ve lost your mind.” She looked at the maids, “Bring him something to drink, water would be nice, and maybe some tea.”

Two of the maids bowed deeply and then rushed away toward the kitchen, and Arad pushed the blanket aside as he stretched. He was still in the Nymph’s body.

“I guess your dress barely fits.” He looked at one of the maids. “I know that it might take some time for me to get something decent to wear, so go find Gamond and borrow a dress or two from her. Decent ones, and a cloak. I finally got two extra bodies, and I’m going to work them to the bone immediately.”

“Isdis is busy, but she left a message for you.” Eris looked at him with a smug face. “She said to send those two bodies to work, and reserve one body for the private quarter.”

Arad looked at her, “For the private quarter?” One of the maids returned with a large jug of water and handed it to him. “Your Majesty.”

Arad took the jug, thanked her, and then gulped the whole thing in a single go. For a dragon, a gallon of water felt like the tiniest of sips, only good to wet his tongue, but it was fine.

“Is she asking me to stay here for everyone else?” As Arad asked, Eris nodded.

“Indeed, send the Nymph bodies to do the work, and leave one Arad for us to have fun with all day long. It would also accelerate and might even allow some maids to get pregnant as well.”

Arad had two incarnations before, which he doubled with Gemini to get four. Two dragons and two humans, and he always had them doing something. Like yesterday, Arad had a human working with Isdis in the castle, one scouting the capital below, A dragon searching the abyss, and one resting with Tina in Yggdrasil’s world.

Now, Arad could send one of the Nymphs back to the abyss and send one down to the capital for reconnaissance, meaning now he would have both his human incarnations free. He can also switch one of the two human incarnations with the dragon staying with Tina, since Yggdrasil’s worlds didn’t have anything that powerful, and leaving a whole dragon there seemed like a waste.

Two maids walked into the living room at the same time, one carried a tray of tea, and the other a stack of dresses that she picked from Gamond. “Your Majesty, Balina and Claug also sent a bunch of their clothes for the time being. Merida is busy making a few custom dresses for you.”

Arad took the stack of clothes to look at while the other maid poured him a large mug of tea. The first thing he pulled was a pale grey dress with a slip up the hip and a large cleavage gap. He looked at it, then back at the maid. “Probably not.”

“Lady Gamond said that if you’re a Nymph, then you should consider leaving a lot of skin out to be able to effectively use your beauty.” The maid explained as she looked away.

Arad sighed. “It doesn’t work like that… I mean, it does, but that won’t matter.”

The maid faintly smiled. “I know, I tried telling her. If you wanted to use your beauty, you could instantly swallow your clothes into your stomach. And with your power, it’s best not to use that beauty at all since it’s hard to control.”

The maid was one of Eris’s servants, and she wasn’t a vampire. Seeing that she already knew a lot, it made it clear that Eris paid close attention to her servants and taught them what they needed to know.

“Is Eris taking good care of you?” As Arad asked, the maid blinked and looked at him. “Of course she is. But I would say she is quite strict with us.”

Eris looked at her. “Come on, it’s for your own good.”

As the maid looked at Eris and smiled, Arad looked at the clothes and picked the few more dresses that Gamond sent, and all of them were so promiscuous that he almost thought a succubus sent them to him. He didn’t even bother looking at the few strings that she sent as underwear.

He then looked at what Balina sent, and those were at least a bit better. She sent him several fancy pairs of underwear, but at least they were more than just strings. For the dress, they were still a bit too much for Arad to wear, but they looked like something a woman would wear to a fancy party, not explore the abyss with. He might wear them if he wanted to infiltrate a noble disguised as a woman.

But what he liked more were the clothes Claug sent to him, and he was really happy with them. She sent him a pair of shorts, cargo pants, a large t-shirt, and a leather jacket with knee-high boots. But what he found suspicious was that those clothes smelled a lot like Gamond, as if she was trying to hide something.

“Now… didn’t I see those in Malina’s wardrobe?” Arad looked at the maid, and she shook her head. “I don’t know. Claug gave them to me.”

Arad lifted one finger, “I’ll take those and the ones Balina sent. But, go and check with Malina about those clothes after you return Gamond’s clothes to her. I believe Gamond is just trying to stir some drama for fun, so make sure Malina understands that and acts accordingly.”

The maid bowed and left, leaving Arad to sip his tea with Eris. “I got two dragons, two humans, and two Nymphs. For the Nymphs, one would explore the abyss and search for the shadow succubus kingdom, and the other would be down at the capital to look for Poppy. For the humans, one would stay with Isdis at the royal office, and one would stay here. For the dragons, one would stay here, and the other would stay with Tina.”

Eris looked at him, “So? We’ll have to Incarnations for fun?”

Arad shook his head. “No, the dragon would have to work closely with Linda on the study of time magic, and would sometimes visit Sena to see how far she is with creating a body for Doma. The human would stay here to have fun, but don’t worry, I can switch it with the dragons if any of you want that.”

Eris nodded, “The what about the elves? Aella went to check on Cerilla and Jasmine. They were supposed to see this wood elf princess and find out what the deal is with those reclusive moon elves.”

“I’ve sent Doma and Lunara after them. The elves know and fear Doma, so they’ll respect her, and I believe those moon elves would find Lunara quite the surprise.” He smiled and stood. “So, I’ll be going.”

As Arad’s Nymph incarnation disappeared, two large and burly men appeared in her place. “Well, time to play a bit.” The draconic incarnation disappeared as the human one sat on the couch, stretched his arms, and smiled.

“It’s nice having two extra bodies to work with. Give me more options and free hands to play with.” As he smiled, Eris looked at him with a grin and then threw a glance at the maids. “Heard him, ladies. This one would be staying here for a prolonged time, so make sure to do your job. Don’t spend your whole day trying to hit on him. There is a large difference between pestering and being proactive.”

The maids looked at each other, and then one of them asked. “We aren’t allowed to take him before the wives, right?”

Eris waved her hand, “If no wife is present, then her turn can be skipped. Of course, you’ll get punished if you are caught.”
