“I must admit. I am a little disappointed. There is no one left alive from the old court who is up to the task of ruling over these five provinces. Should I return home and choose one or more there and send them here to govern the area?” Sky says laying on the bed thinking.

“You could choose one of us.” Vinyl says beside him.

“But then you would be away from me.” Sky points out.

“Would it be so bad?” Vinyl asks.

“To not have you with me every day. What do you think?” Sky asks.

“Eh. That’s true. I won’t be able to suck out your blood.” Vinyl says smiling.

“You don’t even do that now.” Sky reminds.

“But you’re sweet.” Vinyl points out.

“How do you know that?” Sky asks.

Vinyl hums. “Let’s see. Oh yeah. You remember your flight to Archmage Luna’s school?”

“Not really. I blacked out mid-flight.” Sky admits.

Vinyl grins. “I did that.”

“You did what now?” Sky hissed.

Vinyl chuckles. “Yeah. Caught you mid-flight, got you into an inn and had a night of fun.”

“You saying you been playing me this whole time?” Sky asks.

Vinyl hums innocently. “Half and half.”

“What to do? What to do?” Sky asks thinking aloud.

Vinyl smirks. “You have a punishment.”

“The maid outfit.” Sky says smirking as Vinyl’s expression became one of horror.

“No. You wouldn’t.” Vinyl says quickly getting up and backing away.

“Oh, I would. I am just as evil as you are.” Sky says.

“Well back off.” Vinyl warns before hissing at him.

“Nope.” Sky says starting to advance on his white wife.

Vinyl hisses more as she keeps backing off. “I’m warning you.”

“And what are you going to do about it?” Sky says cornering her.

Vinyl hisses menacingly. “I’ll bite you.”

“You already did that.” Sky says smirking.

Vinyl growls. “Back off. You are not putting me in a dress. Not now, not…”

Vinyl stares and frowns heavily as she sat where she is. “I hate you.” She says dryly as she wore the maid outfit Sky’s other maids are wearing as one of them makes sure it is on correctly.

“One-month Vinyl. After that, I will forgive you.” Sky says smirking.

Vinyl growls under her breath as Sky stays smiling at her.

“That doesn’t mean we won’t have fun in that time.” Sky adds.

Vinyl huffs and turns her head away.

“And maybe I will make you pregnant.” Sky says.

Vinyl cracks an eye open to him.

“Would you like that?” Sky asks running a hoof over her.

Vinyl hums as she still stares at him with her sharp red eye.

“Speaking of which, all of you, I wish to see my children.” Sky informs his maids.

They all nod and run off to find them or send for them.

“Now answer me. Do you like the idea?” Sky asks holding her now.

“You do realize me and my foals will outlive you?” Vinyl points out.

“I am well aware of that.” Sky says.

“And you still want to do this?” Vinyl asks.

“Don’t you?” Sky asks.

Vinyl sighs. “I really don’t my foals to live without a father and mourn that long on it.”

“They will still have you.” Sky says setting her in his lap to sit.

Vinyl rolls her eyes and looks at him. “Really? Just me? Not that father who helped made them come into this world?”

“I’m no vampire.” Sky says laying his head on her shoulder.

Vinyl stares at him for a few moments. “You are either the dumbest youngest stallion ever…”

“Or?” Sky asks.

Vinyl sighs and looks away and leans her back against him. “Just a stallion who wants some love.”

“What do you think?” Sky asks petting her cheek.

Vinyl rolls her eyes. “Fine.”

“Now shall we try for that or you content being a mother to my other foals?” Sky asks.

Vinyl sighs. “Fine being a mother to them.”

“No Vinyl. Should a maid resist her master’s desires?” Sky teased.

“Shut up.” Vinyl mutters.

“What was that?” Sky says starting to tickle her.

Vinyl growls as she tries to keep it in. “Stop.”

“Can you make me?” Sky asks.

Vinyl hisses and bares her fangs.

“Oh, someone needs a release.” Sky says smirking.

Vinyl pushes his hoof off.

“Not hearing a no.” Sky says before raspberrying her.

Vinyl eeps and freezes as she tries to hold her expression.

“Who is a good vampire queen?” Sky says smirking.

“No!” Vinyl yells trying to push him away.

“Ok. We will continue playing later. Look who is arriving,” Sky says.

Vinyl sighs as she looks to see everyone’s foals running in toward them and start to pounce and climb onto Sky and her. “Hey. Watch the mane.” Vinyl complains as a newborn foal was hanging from her mane in front of her.

“Oh, come on. They are your foals too.” Sky reminds.

Vinyl rolls her eyes as she watches the foal laugh in front of her face.

“Also, take a look who is watching.” Sky says seeing Snow.

Vinyl moves her eyes and sees Snow tapping her hoof against her ax as she watches her.

“Snow, what are you waiting for?” Sky asks.

“For the first sign.” Snow says, still tapping her ax.

“Get your flank over here.” Sky instructs.

Snow hums as she walks over, keeping her ax over her shoulder.

“Oh, who is this? Is it your daughter?” Sky asks smirking as he holds up Precious.

Snow scoffs and Precious giggles and reaches out toward her, making her reach out with a hoof and grab and hold her.

“Now Vinyl, I think it is time you really consider it.” Sky says letting the foals run all over him and her.

Vinyl sighs as she picks up another foal who laughs and tries to hug her hoof. “Later.”

“So having trouble picking somepony to rule the remaining territory for you?” Snow asks.

“Kinda. I haven’t found anypony to rule yet. Got any ideas?” Sky asks as he rocks a few foals.

“How about you get your lazy flank in gear and find somepony suitable?” Snow asks trying to give him a kick in the flank.

Sky shushes as he keeps rocking. “Now Snow. It’s tough enough. Besides, I have such a large kingdom, it would be tough to find somepony. I do need help with this.”

“All the more reason to stop slacking. I want you and the rest of us back in Gaul very soon.” Snow says.

“Oh. You miss me.” Sky says smirking.

“I’m just worried.” Snow rebutted.

“Even better.” Sky says smiling to her.

Snow groans and huffs as she holds her foal.

“She cares so much.” Vinyl says smirking.

Snow groans out loud now.

Rainbow sighs and pats her shoulder. “I feel your pain.”

Vinyl chuckled as she nuzzles a foal and makes him laugh.

“Now there is two.” Snow groans.

“And possibly more.” Rainbow says.

Snow hums as she tickles Precious’s belly and makes her laugh.

“Four more will be joining us.” Rainbow informs.

“You have to be kidding.” Snow says looking at her.

“Nope. I am not. In fact, only Sky has met them so far.” Rainbow says.

“And they are cute in their own way.” Sky quips smiling.

“Sky.” Snow exhales rubbing her head as Sky got back to reviewing potential ponies when there was a knock at their door.

“Hum…the commander of the white hawks would be a half decent choice maybe.” Sky says thinking over the proposal the mercenary leader had made.

“We can’t afford to lose them at this point either.” Snow says sighing.

“Yes and even though he will be a king, he would still serve me.” Sky says before going silent for many minutes; thinking hard before finally getting up. “I will do it, but there will be a stipulation to it.” Sky says.

“Which is?” Snow asks.

“You remember that captain of his? The one who has distinguished himself many times on the battlefield in both the changeling and this campaign?” Sky asks.

“No, I wasn’t in that one either. But if you talk highly about him, he must be strong.” Snow says.

“He is and a good frontline officer. If he wants to be king so badly, he must show me by transferring him out of his personal service and into the military and mine as well as he must consult with us before making any changes to the trade agreements that we are trying to set up with the griffon republic. Being the first stop in our territory for the traders will make him and his kingdom very rich already. So I believe these are fair stipulations, don’t you?” Sai asks.

“Maybe.” Snow says to the side.

“You have anything you want to add?” Sky asks.

“You do realize he still would have the power to make small decisions that might affect everyone. You need an advisor there.” Snow says frowning.

“I am glad you brought this up as I have been toying with the thought of making another school system to create advisors, wise ponies, and inventors. This way we cut down on the useless officials who can’t do their jobs.” Sky says surprising her; knowing they had a few problems with a few prominent families who were sent to work for them and found they were incompetent.

“That’s…not bad.” Snow says thinking about it.

“Thank you. I want you, Daring, and Flitter Line to start to work on it.” Sky says.

“Yeah…sure.” Snow says walking off.

“Also, come here.” Sky says smirking walking over before running a hoof along her flank.

“Hey. I need to go.” Snow says stepping away.

“Snow, my dear wife, we are not going to stop at one child.” Sky says smirking.

Snow frowns. “I’m busy.”

“Overlord commands it.” Sky says smiling.

“Commander, we have a reply.” One of the mercenaries says bringing a letter to the commander.

The commander takes the message and starts reading with a mix of a smile and frown.

“Rejected?” The captain of the raiders of the mercenaries asks.

“No. He agreed to it, but there are conditions.” The commander says.

“And those are?” The captain asks.

The commander was silent as he contemplated what to do. “Daisen.” The commander says.

“Yes?” The captain of the raiders answered.

“I am going to accept the terms. One of them involves you.” He says.

“And that is?” Daisen asks raising an eyebrow.

“I am to release you from duty and let you join the empire’s military. He puts it as, ‘Let your subordinate spread his wings and progress up the chain of command basically.’” The commander says.

“You have to be kidding.” Daisen says

“No. He is testing to see how much I want my kingdom…this also means he will be gearing up for another war soon.” The commander says reading between the lines.

“Great. Out of one and into another.” Daisen mutters.

“He also wants you to keep your command. Meaning, take our raiders with you.” The commander says.

“That’s something.” Daisen says.

“In exchange, he wants me to make all the warlords still alive to swear fealty to me and straighten out the area. He doesn’t want them fighting each other anymore.” The commander reads.

“Now that make sense.” Daisen says

“Go gather up your men and head to his camp.” The commander informs.

“Yes, sir.” Daisen says walking off.

“How do you feel my white wife?” Sky asks holding her as the carriage was taking them back to the capital of Gual.

“Tired.” Snow says leaning against him with a blanket around her.

“Oh, then rest up. I can stay awake with Vinyl, Raven, and Rainbow here.” Sky says petting her.

Snow hums as she closes her eyes and kept leaning against him.

“Rainbow, Vinyl, Raven, anything you would like to talk about?” Sky asks looking to his three wives.

“Fine here.” Rainbow says relaxing in the back.

“Raven?” Sky asks.

“Reading.” Raven says looking through a book.

“Vinyl, I know you must be bored.” Sky says.

“Kinda.” Vinyl says hanging around above him.

“Come down here and join me then.” Sky says patting the empty seat beside him.

Vinyl yawns as she drops down beside him. “At least you’re fun enough.”

“With this, we have four provinces. We are the biggest faction now with no real competition. That’s a problem for us.” Sky informs.

“So what are you going to do about it?” Vinyl asks laying her head down on his lap.

“It’s impossible to do anything about it. I am not going to break up my territory and not going to succeed territory to any of the others.” Sky says.

“Which means we have to hold it all. But what are you going to do now?” Vinyl asks looking up to him.

“Stabilize my territory, establish relationships with the republic of Griffonstone, and prepare for our eventual campaign on Belgica and the diamond dog tribes of Carthaginensis.” Sky informs.

“You said no more fighting.” Vinyl points out.

“Amongst those in the Celtica warlords and amongst my own people. We need to still bring the entire land under my control.” Sky reminds.

“Can’t it wait a few years or two?” Vinyl complains stretching her forelegs into his view.

“Yeah. It will take at least a year to stockpile all the supplies, and replenish the soldiers lost in this war. May the goddess of war see they rest in peace for the sacrifices they made.” Sky says.

“Didn’t know you are religious.” Vinyl says smiling.

“I know they are real. I have seen enough to prove it.” Sky says.

“Noted.” Vinyl says rolling into him.

“Means many nights where I am free.” Sky says.

“Oh. How much can you put into me?” Vinyl asks grinning.

“Expect to be a mother.” Sky informs.

Vinyl chuckles. “I’m a vampire. You think it would happen?”

“You a hybrid, are you not?” Sky reminds.

Vinyl sticks her tongue out at him and grins.

“Careful. I might mount you here.” Sky says playfully.

Vinyl kept grinning.

“Oh, we will have fun.” Sky says.

“I’ll bet on it.” Vinyl says chuckling.

Nearly a year later in somewhere in Belgica, multiple stallion heirs to different kingdoms met. “Are we ready?” One asks.

“Let’s knock the Overlord off his throne.” Another says.

“Patience. For now, we need to do the ritual and revive them. I am sure that Fumel will assist us.” Another says.

“Then let us begin.” One says as monks or priests started to chant for what seemed like hours before the clouds cover the moon and made it pitch black with only the torches lighting the area before a dark portal like thing opens.

“Who dares beseech me in such a manner?” A feminine voice asks.

“Great Fumel, we beseech you help us protect our lands in the coming war.” One of the heir says as the kings watch from a ways away.

“Oh, and what would you have me do?” Fumel asks.

“You keep some legendary warriors, spies, and rulers as your servants as a sign of favor. We ask you to send them to help us. We will even give them our body to use.” Another says.

Fumel looks between all of them. “All of you? This would prove fatal if you fail.”

“We are prepared to die.” One says,

“Very well. I have been wanting to test the one I have shown favor to anyways. You six stallions shall become the vessels for six of them and will get everything that comes with that.” Fumel says before the six and the portal is surrounded by a black dome.

Fumel throws the black dome away from one of the stallions with a wave of its hoof to show a long blond pegasus mare with a silverish coat and armor under a purple cloak. Fumel then looks to another dome and waves it away to show a platinum blond unicorn mare with a navy blue coat. Looking to another, the dome is sent away to show a platinum blond unicorn mare with a purple coat. Another dome is sent off to show a white-maned pegasus mare with a white coat. The second to last dome is taken off to show a dirty blond earth mare with an aqua blue coat. And finally, the last dome is taken off to show a crimson mane pegasus mare with a golden yellow coat. “Hear me Jean da Arc, Artoria Pendragon the first and second, both the king and the tyrant, Okita Souji, captain of the wolves, Le Chevrier, unseen spy, and Alexander the Great.” Fumel says as six wispy balls come out of the portal.

The balls suddenly shot toward the mares and each one entered them before they blink and starts to move and shake their heads. “Your Ladyship.” They all said bowing to her.

“Aid the mortals.” Fumel says.

“Yes, your Ladyship.” They all said still bowing.

“If you face him, you are not to kill him. I want to see if he can overcome all obstacles. Even ones I set before him to achieve his objective.” Fumel informs.

“Yes, your Ladyship. We will see it done.” Jean says.

“I leave now…oh and if he somehow manages to defeat any of you, you are not allowed to kill yourselves.” Fumel informs before the portal closed.

“Your Ladyship?” Jean asks picking up her head with the rest.

“We have our orders. I bet these stallions never considered that those who she keeps are made into female spirits.” Alexander says running a hoof through her mane.

“Maybe we should show them the business side of good old fashioned feminine magic.” Tyrant Artoria says smiling as her horn lights up.

“Come to think of it, out of the six of us, only two were mares to begin with.” King Artoria says.

“Well, we’re all mares now. Doesn’t matter.” Okita says looking over herself.

“So what first? We are all here with no clothing so what should we do?” Le Chevrier asks.

“You mean just us. Jean here has armor.” Alexander says patting down her coat.

“This hardly counts.” Jean says as the kings started to approach.
