In the depths of the New Atha, royal castle. Queen Tilda with her protector Hilda behind her seat, sat across the table of two women that screamed regality and rulership. One with hair like golden sun-like tresses of hair, gentle green eyes, and was wearing a tightly form-fitting blue and golden unitard that mapped out her voluptuous frame.
On the blonde's side was another woman, with dark silver hair and wearing a debauched priestess-like outfit dyed in glowing red blood that contrasted with the smokey dark base of her robe that clung desperately to her ample frame.
Queen Tilda eyed the two women who silently stared in turn at her and spoke coldly. "Enough is enough. Send another agent to kill The Chosen One, and I will tear off the veneer of our shared bloodline."
The dark silver-haired woman snorted and retorted. "Little Tilda. Just because you have the Light Godesses blessing, doesn't mean you are the rightful queen, you didn't ask either of us, your older sisters. If New Atha should become the focus of the world with your summoning."
Queen Tilda looked at her eldest sister and said slowly. "Hadena... You conceptually cannot touch me as the Light Goddesses chosen. Give up. With Jake's help, I will conquer the lands of Echesh to the east, and Rechuyland to the north to restore Atha to its rightful place as the strongest empire in the world."
Tilda then looked to her other bored sister and said solemnly. "Iyana, stay away from the Chosen, he will not be used and discarded in your games. The Light Goddess herself told me that trying to enslave him via hook or crook would lead to our bloodline ending."
At Tilda's words, Lyana's bored green eyes lit up as she looked at her sister with amusement as she seemingly caught something in what she said. "Oh? So serious?" Iyana spoke with delight and Tilda mentally cursed as Iyana's mind visibly whirled before a cold smile crossed it. "I see. Thank you for the warning little Tilda... I will make sure, he is... Oh so beloved, and has no ill will towards myself Haha!"
Queen Tilda allowed herself the weakness of crushing her satin blue dress out of the view of her utterly repugnant older sisters who had changed so much after she had been blessed by that daft useless damned light goddess who couldn't ever do anything right. The memory of the light goddess demanding her to use her mages to summon the Chosen One rang out, oh so painfully and clearly.
'Oh little cutie, you need a good isekai agent and not anymore of those weird weeaboo neets who die of a nosebleed after seeing a bit of tits... But to make sure you guys don't do any weird mind control NTR shit that gets myself in trouble, you better not attempt anything little royal, or I will have to replace your bloodline!'
That terrible dream and realizing how little she mattered as a queen over millions of lives was painful... But knowing the otherworldly demon invasion as well as the Orc uprising was merely a form of entertainment for the Light goddess who wouldn't take sides in the conflict. That was the true pain.
It wasn't the light goddess and the goddess of darkness fighting for supremacy that brought this conflict. It was just mortal interests, the gods were only watching the endless war for their own entertainment.
Hence she was terrified her older sisters would directly bring about their bloodlines ruin by attacking the Chosen One in their quest to become the true Queen of New Atha instead of merely remaining the duchess of their respectable territories that kept the forces of darkness and the neighboring nations out of New Atha while she ruled the capital.
Hadena her eldest sister sighed and spoke loudly. "In either case, I will not directly take his life, nor send my agents to deal with him, the Ice Queen of Rechuyland is being a bigger issue for me, as you know she is using her fell magic to expand the ice lands of Rechuyland for her to rule." She spoke and Tilda hid a snort at the clear diversion her sister was using.
Then Lyana spoke with a grin, "Hmm, well in that case. I myself am going to be busy as well dealing with the lizards and the mad researchers of Echesh. Wish me the best dearest little sister, but oh?" She muttered as she paused and both sisters looked at her confusion as she looked at a mirror that obviously was magical but neither sister got up to look at what was being shown as the blond sister happily chuckled and stood up from her chair.
"Well my sisters, I must be going, much to do you know. Places to be, people to deal with and all Haha!" Lyana said cheerfully as she left the room with her guard opening the door for her and leaving with her.
There was no longer any love between the sisters so Hadena only chuckled with a muffled 'troublesome' escaping her as she stood up herself and she gave a mocking bow to Tilda before turning her back to the queen and for a moment Tilda considered asking her guardian Dana to cut her down... But she couldn't kill her own blood regardless of the troubles she had brought.
Once Hadena had left and only Dana and Tilda were in the room, she looked to Dana who nodded and spoke. "Jing has sent a report in via a messenger mirror. She says that the agents of your sisters have stopped circling and only the agents of now dealt with politician's and councilmen are being the issue for Jake. Also, Jing reports that she had to save Jake from a high-level monster who self-destructed rather than allow Jake to kill it and gain the XP."
Tilda clucked her tongue at that last bit of news. "Thats a pity... If he could get to level fifteen I could easily send him in with a squad of your apprentices into one of our lower-leveled established dungeons."
Dana slowly nodded but still spoke in her typical soft but unyielding voice. "I have done the best I can in rooting out the heads that stuck themselves up to eliminate Jake, but beyond our own umbrella he needs other allies that won't attempt to eat him alive." She advised and Tilda grimaced at that reminder before tapping her hands together.
"There is the obvious option of him getting a slave that matches or exceeds his level in order to grow faster... But in turns of immediate protection, there aren't many options that we can trust." Tilda spoke but Dana cut off her queen with a snort that made the blue-haired woman pout as Dana rolled her eyes and Tilda slumped. "Fine! Irabel Clouds, the daughter of the Master of Coin is an option but she is..."
"A fangirl? A bit of an airhead? Indeed, but she is a long-range sniper who can cover for Jake's weakness in not knowing the noble section of New Atha and the rest of the world's cultures. And frankly with her, the only thing we need to worry about is Jake suffocating in her tits than her betraying Jake with the clear 'Hero' obsession she has." Dana said blandly and Tilda glared at her slave for being right when she didn't want the hero getting involved in her nation's complicated nobility issues.
And with Irabel, regardless of her being known as an airhead. With her status as the daughter of the head of the nation's treasury and mint. She was a poster child for the term noble-born.
Tilda sighed at the knowledge that she was right and after a moment she twitched as her shadow rippled and she heard darkened whispers from her assassin servants that served her in the darkness. "The Hero, after his quests. Are currently researching slaves, and how to acquire them." The voice whispered and Tilda frowned as that was another little issue.
As common as slavery was on this world, official slaves were raised and trained by the churches... And should Jake get involved with either of the two major churches in New Atha of the church of Darkness or Light, to get a slave. That would be just another faction vying for his attention and diverting him from her own goal of conquering the continent New Atha was upon to restore the empire.
