Chapter 101: Talk With Owen & Winter Council Start? by Harem-Fan

When I woke up a couple days later, I was laying in Lana's bed...

Lana was scratching my chest with a dopey smile, while looking at the thumb-ring showing we had gotten married yesterday.

"Morning, Husband, hehe."

I couldn't help but smile at Lana, my only wife or lover that is actually my own age.

"Oh, I remember... I love you, Sif!"

She both pouted and smiled while saying.

"I'm still surprised none of the Queens mentioned me being a Half Elf yet, wonder why?"

My hands snaked under the red silk sheets and roamed her butt and back while I explained.

"Angelica and Leandra are on the same page. Skogul and Gondul care for you. Ariel as a Mermaid understands and doesn't discriminate. Xia Bing doesn't want to upset Owen when she wins, and I think Owen and Alice have broken up for now and she only cares about making Vali pay."

Lana was happy to feel me be affectionate and scolds playfully.

"You always call my father, Owen, and not King Owen. You're supposed to call him father now too."

I'm a little speechless because Lana doesn't know our real relationship, so I say with a dash of bullshit.

"I call him Owen to show respect! If he calls me father or I call him father, it will get complicated! So we decided to just go with Owen and Loki, got it?"

Lana looked so adorable trying to map the order of seniority thanks to Camila and Alice, then me and Lana, so she gave up thinking and snuggled for a while longer.

And after a while, the door was knocked and Pandora came in to get me ready to meet Owen and Thorin...

-

Step Step~! While following Pandora, I thanked her...

"Dear Pandora, thanks for taking me to the meeting... I would've gotten lost, haha."

Pandora stopped, turned to me and puckered her lips with her eyes closed again, as this is how she likes to be thanked.

Mwah~! I gently kissed her lips, then gave her a hug, ignoring the other maids looking at me and her.

"I want you to know that I recognize you and you're not invisible to me. If you ever want something from me or just want to express yourself, please do."

Her red head tilted in thought, and her green eyes looked distant, and then she asked.

"When we are alone being intimate, can you try using my former Human name maybe?"

It suddenly hit me why she doesn't use her real name, because of someone else in the castle!

I held her tighter and whispered it...

"Alice Cross, I love you."

Her body trembled for a moment, and I felt her dull emotions spike a little more, which is a lot for her.

Yeah, Alice Cross and Alice Dark would be confusing around here.

I rubbed her cheek and asked.

"How was it my Pandora Cross?"

A super faint smile played on her lips, and she said with a lighter tone.

"I really like Pandora Cross... It is both of "me" together... I think I like it a lot, Master."

"Then Fairy Pandora Cross, lead me to the meeting."

This time, Pandora broke maid protocol and pulled me along while holding the master's hand...

-

Creak Bang Click~! Gondul greeted me and led me in after securing the magical wards for top level secrecy...

Owen was already sitting on a large plush couch, with Thorin in a single armchair across from him, with another empty armchair waiting for me to Thorin's left.

My brother didn't care about poor Owen's feelings and asked.

"Brother, how did you sleep? Now you are married to your fourth wife, haha?"

"Here you go already breaking rule number two, asshole! I love that Lana and I are married now though."

As I sat, Skogul handed me a glass of normal wine, and our meeting officially began.

Owen looked bothered and busy, but he asked.

"Okay, tomorrow starts the week-long Winter Council, and both of you will be there as Counts, one for the North and the other for the South. Are you boys already told how it will work?"

Thorin answered seriously this time.

"I will be with the Duke Cross's section, and Loki will be with Duchess Sky's section for the legislation and voting. Only the royalty, Marquees, and Duke ranks can openly speak, while the Counts must speak through their superiors, unless called to speak openly."

Owen nodded and then said.

"I made a list of things for you guys to vote for and push regarding the Seven God Rules. Other than those few things, vote as normal anyway you see fit. Now let's talk about Norse issues?"

He took a deep breath and recounted his version of what went down with Vali, Lana, the Queens, and his choices...

-

"So in short, with Vali's odd name that Angelica had given him, the fact he can use magic, and his ambitions, I believe he is likely to be a reincarnated God of the Norse or Greeks, and I didn't want to punish him too hard, sigh... I wish I could remember all of those past stories of mythology."

Now it makes more sense why Owen didn't do what Alice asked, so I brought up my crime.

"Now I know why you and Alice are fighting... But I may or may not have broken rule two... When I was almost cut by Xia Bing, my blood was spilled. Alice had protected me from Xia Bing, but smelled my blood..."

"She was starving and almost bit me on stage, but we left and I put blood in a Life Bottle (Loki Bottle) for her to drink, sorry. No clothing removed, no holding her, just giving her my blood and that was it."

There is no fucking way I will tell Owen how she drank her bottle, because even I would be pissed!

Owen looked a little uncomfortable, because he knows he and Alice are now distant due to Vali, but he hoped she would come for his blood at least, but she went elsewhere in desperation.

I was unaware that Camila told Owen she wasn't under a Love Gu and used it as a public-excuse to be with me for my delicious blood.

And Owen is too embarrassed to ask who-or-if I actually used my Love Gu, or if I even have one at this point.

His embarrassment stems from when he sold me out as a Gu villain to the world.

Owen rubbed his forehead and said.

"Alright, this matter was more Xia Bing's fault, and I would rather you feed her your blood than let her go feral... Anyway, what else do we have to report to one another about the God stuff?"

I said something that might be important.

"My Demonic Sect is coming as an envoy to meet me and to participate in the Secret Realm when we go. The Sect's Second Elder is coming for me, to set up a Safe-Haven so we can travel back and forth at my Sect."

Thorin asked with excitement.

"Hey Loki, are you saying we can go to and from the Eastern Wastelands freely?! I've always wanted to travel, but the month there and back is annoying without a ship, let alone the time it takes?"

Even Owen looked interested, because Gondul and Skogul can set a location as well, but his two are already set here.

"Yeah, because it is for rule number six and one, so you both need access to the points around the world, like opening a map in a game. Not sure about you Owen with the Ice Sect, but Thorin can probably join my sect as well."

Owen rubbed his chin and agreed.

"I can make a trade deal with your sect for rights to travel alone with you as my guide. It can be good for both sides, while Thorin can join the sect as well to do our Norse missions."

I shifted nervously and felt bad, so I told Owen what I did for him.

"Cough, Owen, I felt really bad about the wife thing, so I asked around and had Shehuang and Baihu bring a ninja cat girl for you to meet. She is a 7th Circle Demonic Beast Tiger in Human form?"

Whoosh~! Owen stood stock straight, and his blue eye opened wide.

He asked in disbelief.

"Loki, are you saying you found a real honest to goodness cat-eared and tailed woman? Is she the beast-head and furry type, or the hot animal type?!"

I was taken aback, because his magic is going out of control with his excitement, so I strung out what Taki Tsuki told me.

"She is like Baihu, with Human features with the White Tiger ears and tail, but can go completely Human or turn into her giant tiger form like Baihu, and don't forget she was trained as a kunoichi like Taki Tsuki..."

"Also, just to warn you, she is apparently a bit dumb and gullible. Oh, and Shehuang is sending her on a Sect "honey trapping" mission to capture the Human King as a lover or something stupid?"

Owen looked years younger as his nerdy smile was blooming, and both Skogul and Gondul, who can feel his heart, rolled their eyes at him.

"Loki, come here for a non-gay hug! I am such a happy man... I have been looking for centuries now, and you found it! My Holy Grail of an assassin cat maid waifu!"

Pat Pat Pat~! He really came over and hugged me tightly, while slapping my back roughly!

"Okay Loki, I understand your heart, brother. Thank you... Um, When will she get here?"

"One week the fastest, two weeks the slowest I guess? Don't know how fast their airship really is?"

Owen calmed his otaku heart down and sat back in his spot.

Unknown to me, Owen assumed the "wife stealing" wasn't about Angelica, but he was guessing it might be Alice, based on her reactions of trading Queen spots like Angelica did, the blood, Camila telling him she wasn't Gu'd, and avoiding him.

But Owen is a man and won't ask me about details, instead he will still trust me and look forward to meeting his "white moonlight", and let fates of the future Gods play out.

After a few more words, we called the meeting short, due to needing to get ready for the council in the morning...

-

When Thorin and I left, we bumped into some people we knew...

Leandra, Lisa, Ayala, Opal, Celia, an ambassador Dhampir woman, and that Dwarven woman I met at the ball?!

Pandora was telling them the meeting was locked and the King would be done soon.

Then we had come out at that time.

Lisa and Leandra knew I had a meeting now, and timed this "bump-in" on purpose, because Celia has been avoiding me after the Royal Ball, due to remembering everything she said and did that night.

Yeah, the kiss especially flashed into my mind.

Thorin and the Dwarf woman both blushed and looked away, making others confused.

Celia's ears immediately blushed seeing me, and hid behind Lisa.

Mwah~! Opal on the other hand threw out all the noble decorum of a diplomat and ran into my arms, and kissed me without shame.

"Did you come to eat lunch with us, Darling?"

Ayala smiled, peeled off the Mermaid, and hugged me while saying.

"Ignore her, we have real work to do Loki."

After Lisa also kissed me, Gondul came to bring the group of women in, but as they and we were parting, Celia said to me softly.

"Sorry Loki... My people are upset about your marriage with the Dark Vampire Queen... I couldn't meet you again..."

I smile at this Elven woman with conflicting loyalties, and her own desires fighting with her duties.

"I understand. As long as you don't hate me, I will hold out hope for the Elves."

Her blue eyes looked at me firmly and she nodded.

"I personally like you, Loki Sky. But for now, I must do my duties, even if they aren't what I feel."

"Okay. If you ever need me for anything, just tell Queen Leandra, Lisa, or Ayala. See you later."

Sometimes what you want and what you must do conflict, and this is one of these times.

Thorin and I walked away from them, followed by Pandora...
