The plan went off even better than I expected. We didn't have to spring the elven ambush trap when we were near the forest they were hiding in. Almost as soon as the elves scouting for threats saw us coming with Shera, Prince Keera himself came out to greet us and two other elves carried the chest of gold.
Shera was quite disappointed with how small it was, since it was half the size of the one Alicia Cristela had given to me for the bounties on the Fallen I'd killed at the Bridge Fort of Ulug. She glanced at me and remembered my words to her that morning about how stupid her brother was for trying to buy her for so cheap. She denied it then and now she actually agreed with me with a firm nod.
The prince handed over the small chest and then saw the tall busty elf behind us wearing a traditional wedding dress. He froze at her statuesque beauty and regal composure, then completely ignored us and rushed over to her to gaze at her beauty with a manic look on his face and soft giggles coming out of his mouth.
"I see what you mean." Princess Keera said and drew a short dagger and plunged it into her counterpart's heart. The body dropped to the ground and everyone saw he had kept the manic look on his face, even after he died. "Go ahead and do your magic, Atlas. I'm ready to assume my role."
Surprisingly, none of the other elves made any move to stop us as I used my powers to regress the male prince all the way back to his actual 12 year old self and then altered his mind and erased most of his memories. With him so young, it was much easier to remove the budding thoughts of obsessing over his sister and to derail the unnatural compulsion he would develop later.
"Pick him up." Keera ordered and the two guard elves did so. She puckered her lips and did several whistles and let out a pulse of earthen magic.
The two guards quickly stepped to the side and I wondered why, then a moment later, the remaining 98 elves dashed out of the woods and appeared in front of us. They formed into a regiment and stood at attention with their fists over their hearts.
Keera looked at them and smiled, pleased that they had responded to her. "I'm glad my little brother hasn't ruined your training and discipline with his foolishness. I'll be taking a much firmer hand in his upbringing and will do it right this time."
The elves shared confused looks for a moment, then realized what she said. A few of them let out a soft cheer and the rest looked really happy.
I walked over to her and bowed slightly. "May I adjust your attire to be more fitting for the situation, Princess Keera?"
Keera gave me a nod and started to reach for the back of her dress.
"There's no need to bare yourself." I said and took out my wand and waved it over her wedding dress. It transformed into similar armor to what Shera wore, only slightly more elaborate with vine details and more coverage for her arms and legs, since she wasn't an archer like Shera was.
Keera looked quite impressed by the change and gave me a smile. "I don't suppose you have a halberd or a nice pike stashed anywhere nearby?"
I chuckled and took out one of the many swords I had and transfigured it into a normal copy of Armsmaster's halberd. I put a few spells on it for Ever-sharp and Cleave, then presented it to her across my hands and knelt.
"I can have a better one made later when I have more time to properly enchant it." I said and she lifted the thing from my hands and stared at it. "Your armor doesn't have any spells or enchantments, either."
"My people can handle that." Keera said and gave the halberd a test swing and grinned. "This will do nicely, Atlas. Thank you."
"You're welcome, princess." I said and stood. "Now, about your other problem..."
Keera looked from Shera to her unconscious little brother. "How do you suppose to fix that?" She asked and looked at the guards and didn't see the one that had helped her back in her old world.
I took out the small container of sperm I had gathered when showing Grayfia what I could do to get a woman pregnant. It was how I had given Ajuka Beelzebub two samples. I produced a small vial and filled it with clear fluid, then added a lone sperm. Everyone in the clearing by the forest stared at me as I did so.
"Here you go, princess." I said and stored the larger container and handed her the vial with a single sperm in it. "Just insert that where it needs to go and you'll be instantly pregnant with a pureblood elf male. They will have a random magical affinity when born in addition to any inherent elven magic they'll gain from you."
Keera stared at the small thing in her hand and looked speechless.
"If the application is handled carefully, you'll remain a virgin as well." I told her.
"You... this... why..." Keera stammered.
"It solves the heir issue and removes the pressure from all of you, especially from Shera." I said and motioned to her. "The only reason her brother was after her was to bear an heir, so giving that to you will solve everything for her, for you, and for your kingdom."
Keera lifted her gaze from the vial to look at my face. "Do you not find me attractive enough to bed me the normal way?"
That made a few of the elves make startled sounds, especially Shera.
I forced myself to chuckle, even if I didn't find it funny. I needed to keep things light and not insult her. "Princess Keera Greenwood, of the Kingdom of Greenwood, I am but a summoned person to this world. Not only would I not qualify as a proper suitor for you, my spawn would be even less welcome by the royal family than one you might have made with someone you cared about that would also embarrass the rest of your family."
Keera blushed and knew I was right. It was the only reason she hadn't already been pregnant.
"Any healer with training can help you apply it properly. If you somehow lose it and need another, you know where to find me." I said and motioned back towards the walled city of Faltra. "At least, for the near future, anyway. That might change, depending on the quests we are allowed to accept from the Adventurer's Guild after this."
Rem huffed and crossed her arms as her tail swished angrily behind her. "Sylvie better let us take some quests. Spending a week off doing nothing but relaxing was enough of a break for me."
"I liked the massages and the shared baths." Shera said and made her chest bounce. "Atlas has the best hands and he rubs me the right way to..."
Rem's hand darted out and clamped over Shera's mouth to muffle the rest of her words. "We agreed to not talk about that outside the bath!"
Shera didn't look apologetic as she shrugged and her chest jiggled a little.
"I will keep you in mind." Keera said and put the vial into the pouch at her hip. She did several short whistles, that sounded like a bird chirping, and the elves standing at attention nodded and dashed back into the woods.
"What are you doing?" Rem asked and didn't let Shera's mouth go, just in case she tried to keep talking about things she shouldn't talk about.
"They are disabling all the traps and retrieving all the poison arrows in the woods." Keera said and nodded to the two guards holding her little brother. "Take him to the royal carriage and I'll be along momentarily."
"Your highness." The two said and bowed, then dashed away and out of sight.
Keera gave me an odd look before she spoke. "Would you have..."
"Of course." I said and cut her off. "I'm not stupid enough to make your life that much harder by doing so before you have the heir, though. Once he exists..."
"...I'll be free to do what I want and marry whomever I want." Keera said and beamed a smile at me, which was similar to the one Shera usually gave me. "Thank you, Atlas."
I bowed slightly and she dashed in, kissed my cheek, and dashed away.
"Hey!" Shera and Rem gasped at the same time and a soft giggle came from the nearby trees.
I walked over to them and took Shera into a one arm hug on my left, and Rem into a one arm hug on my right, then I whispered to them. "At least she didn't ask for us to escort her home."
Shera's eyes widened at hearing that, then she closed them and moaned as I nibbled on her ear. Rem was next and she let out a soft purr and her tail slid around my thigh and gripped it tightly. The tip of her tail gently tapped on me down there and I grew hard for her.
"Let's get back to the teleportation circle and back to the city to report in. We have a quest to cash in for dealing with the elves." I said and the three of us walked for an hour back to the mouth of Lake Seplia where we had docked the ship and the concealed teleportation circle there. I stored the ship and a flash of light later, we were back in the small copse of trees near the west gate of the city and went inside.
Sylvie had returned to the Adventurer's Guild from the lord's mansion and she was delighted that I had resolved the conflict before it could begin. She didn't ask for details, though. She accepted the quest notice with Keera's signature and the written declaration on the back stating the elves would withdraw and not start a war.
She made several copies and sent them to a few people, Alicia in the lord's mansion, Celestine at the Mage's Association, and one would be taken by horse to the capital. Sylvie kept the original and handed over another pile of gold to us for completing the quest, then told us to go home and rest.
Rem tried to protest and Sylvie told her in no uncertain terms that she just completed two very high profile and dangerous quests with huge payouts. If she didn't take the rest of the day off, she would ban her for another week from the Guild Hall. Rem pouted and looked really cute, which we all told her, and that just made her pout harder.
I had to carry the cute cat-girl all the way back to the inn and she didn't stop pouting until we were naked in the bath and Shera and I put her between us and cuddled her. She forgave us for embarrassing her and allowed us to pamper her by brushing her hair and tail. We were soon in bed, also without clothes, and Shera's hands caressed me all over.
Instead of asking her what she was doing, I pet her head and nodded to Rem. It was the first time we would be doing this while I was awake and we weren't pretending I was asleep. Shera was almost desperate as she helped herself to my hardness and she was also a little greedy about it. Rem let her, because she knew the taller, sexier, and more confident elf woman we had met today, made Shera doubt herself.
I blew a load for her and Shera swallowed the majority of it. Rem gave my tip several licks before she tenderly kissed Shera, whom reacted in a similar way and kissed her with more passion and enthusiasm than usual. Rem accepted it and the two laid down together and started petting each other.
I wasn't going to sit this part out, because I wasn't an idiot, and I moved down and spread Shera's legs first. Both she and Rem gasped at the move, then I went down on Shera and she screamed as she came instantly. I hadn't even used my vibrating tongue trick and had to wait a few moments for her to recover.
I started in on her again and Shera moaned and writhed as Rem kissed her to keep her from screaming out loud again. It mostly worked, because Shera came again and it was almost a physical force that she had to be vocal about. Rem did her best to keep her occupied as I did my best to give Shera all the reassurance she could stand.

The next day, most of the walled city's population was abuzz about an event occurring. The Slave Market Caravan had come to Faltra City and they had a wide selection of wares and services to offer to everyone, from commoners to the rich nobility.
The owner and operator of the caravan, Melios, was a tall redheaded woman with large breasts. She was also quite steeped in sex and magic, almost like a succubus, and she used it to earn coin. The caravan sold slaves, traded them, and bought them. According to the owner, she did it mostly to have them properly trained and would sell them again to worthy clients.
What she hadn't planned on was a tall man wearing a mostly white skintight outfit that entered the main tent and asked to see her. When she approached him to see what he wanted, she almost fainted at how powerful he was. She had to force herself to get closer and wade through the thick flow of magic around him. There was also no way to ignore how angry he was, despite his face not showing anything.
"Welcome, patron." Melios said and was surprised her voice wasn't shaky like her hands were. "How can I help you today?"
"I want to buy your slaves." He said, his voice flat.
Melios smiled, even though she felt like she shouldn't. Her hand waved back towards where several women sat around a table in the large tent. "As you can see, I have a few you might like..."
"No." He said and cut off her usually effective sales pitch. "You misunderstand. I said I want to buy them. All of them."
Every single woman, no matter the race they were, perked up and looked over at him. Their slave collars were nearly identical to the ones Rem and Shera wore, except the circumstances of receiving them were much different.
Melios tried to dissuade him, even if she was sure it wouldn't work. She didn't want to lose her entire stock of saleable items in one shot. "Some of them are quite rare and difficult to find..."
He gave her a look that made her feel lower than the dirt at his feet. "Name your price."
Melios shivered at the cold tone. She secretly admitted it was also a huge turn on for her. "If you will follow me into my private room to discuss..."
"Name. Your. Price." He said with finality.
Melios knew then she had better say something outrageous or he would clean out her business. "One hundred and twenty five thousand, eight hundred and twenty gold coins; seventy five silver; and sixty two copper."
"That's for all of them and not just what's here in the tent or in the compound?" He asked.
"Yes, all of them." Melios said.
"Agreed." He said, to her shock. He took out a large piece of parchment, waved his hand over it, and it was covered in writing. He walked over to the table the slave women sat at and he set the contract down and signed it with a very pretty quill, then held the quill out to Melios.
"W-wait... I... didn't think..." Melios said and shook her head. "You were supposed to refuse such a high price."
"You set the price and I agreed." He said and pulled a chest full of gold out of the air and dropped it onto the table, which made the slaves stare when it opened and showed off that it was full of gold coins with a smattering of silver and copper on top. "All you are doing is signing physical proof."
"I... no, I... you can't..." Melios stammered.
"Shall I call the lord of the city to arbitrate?" He asked and stood up to his full height. "I'm sure this will be resolved as soon as the facts are heard and the witnesses here won't be needed."
Melios knew she couldn't order the slaves to lie on her behalf after that statement. She sighed at being manipulated and walked forward, took the quill, and signed the parchment where the 'X' was.
All of the slaves gasped as their ownership changed from Melios to him. It wasn't just there in the tent and the compound, either. All throughout the city, the countryside, and the rest of the kingdom felt the change. All the spies, personal servants, and bed-warmers Melios had placed everywhere the caravan went, were now owned by him.
Melios staggered as the trickles of magic she was receiving from them cut off. "What... what did you do?"
"I enforced the sale." He said and created a copy of the contract and handed it to her. "All of your workers, helpers, drivers, cooks, servers, sex workers, and everyone else under your employ that was a slave, you sold to me."
A look of dawning horror appeared on her face. "NO!"
"I said all your slaves and you agreed." He said and stored his contract. He turned to the pretty slaves staged there to entice men and women to sample the slave market's wares. "Ladies, please gather up your things and let everyone else know to do the same. You no longer work here or are for sale any longer."
The five women had bright smiles on their faces and nodded.
"I'll send along a message to the rest of you to do the same. I'll go pick them up when they're ready to come here to stay with the rest of you." He told them and they stood.
"M-master?" The pretty brunette cat-girl asked.
"Please call me Atlas." He said with a smile.
"Where are we supposed to go after we pack?" She asked.
"I'm going to build a huge mansion just outside the city walls for you to live in. The land there is cheap and you'll have everything you'll ever need for the rest of your lives."
They all squealed with delight, hugged him, and ran off to pack their things.
"You... you've ruined me." Melios whispered and sat at the table.
"You have 125,820 gold, 75 silver, and 62 copper. You never have to work another day in your life, or several lifetimes." Atlas said and put a hand on her shoulder. "Find something else to do with your life. You've been a slave peddler and brothel owner for far too long."
Melios realized then that she had lost several hundred sources of steady income from those brothels, spread across as many cities, because all of her slaves now belonged to him. She fainted and lost consciousness.
Atlas chuckled and closed his eyes. He checked the system and it gave him a full list of every one of the slaves he had just purchased. He selected everyone to send a message to, then deselected Rem, Shera, and the slaves there in the tent and the living area. He chose to generate parchment instead of giving them heart attacks by having a text box appear in front of their faces, and sent it.
Now he had some land to buy and a gigantic mansion to build with 600 rooms inside and all the amenities. He would need a lot of expansion charms and runes for it and left the tent to start working on everything he would need. He laughed when he realized Rem would need to wait to take a quest until he was done and she was going to pout about being delayed again.
