The New Game Master

When Olivia found me, she thought I was the half-elven offspring of my father and a human woman. She was just as shocked to learn this as everyone else. Now I just solved how did a half-elf become an elf question. Your other 'son' needs to join an order that is celibate or he needs to be confirmed as being infertile. Your new younger wife. I want to see her ass here and now! Get those things going both of you please.

I will give you a few minutes to trade information and get people moving."

He looked at Rosetta, "Get me one of those foot-long sausages. Uncut but cooked. bring it in on a plate. In fact, bring in food for everyone." He walked over to Yol'Rayanna, "Does my solution for you meet with your approval."

She nodded, "Why are you doing this?"

He looked at her, "Like myself you did not choose your parents. You got fed the same lies until they became truth. I can have sympathy for your situation. I am trying to save your life and the reputation of the third house. My father would not want me bringing it down in vengeful spite. The words that came to me when I removed his sword from the grave.

'Do not seek vengeance for vengeance sake. Seek justice against those who unjustly oppress. Only when the time is right and your skills are up to the task. Learn, live, and love.' Do you understand now?"

She started crying and nodded, "Thank you."

She got up and hugged him, "I am sorry for the way I treated you. It was so wrong. I was just told so many things that were the distortion of the truth. You wanted the world for the sword. You would be spiteful enough to send it to the astral plane."

He looked at her, "I did not ask for the world. I did not ask for a specific item. Then they came back with a minimal and laughable offer.

I told them it would be acceptable if they acknowledge me as my father's son and as a member of the royal family. That was the world I asked of them. Else come back with a better offer. I told them if my options were to deny the blade and be hunted, accept the blade which I did not really want to do and be hunted.

If I was unable to reach a solution that was acceptable to both of us I would stick it in my backpack and send it to the Astral plane. I never had to contact the house. I could have simply sent it. I tried to do the right thing for the house that did not want me. I was that adamant at the time to not have the blade until you threw it at me and I was forced into this."

She looked at me, "If you really did not want it then why did you accept this blade?"

He looked at her. "None of you would be able to activate it. The sword made me an acceptable heir. It could have been the sword or the goddess Lyria. Regardless, It took everything I trained for. I cannot acknowledge my true mother because of this group fraud.

It was better than being hunted by the elven royal families for the rest of my life. I just have to worry about every collector in the world who wants the blade."

He held up the blade. "Her name is Hetisca which translates to hectic or fast and furious. Emphasis on the furious part."

She nodded, "I am sorry." he sat and ate while they waited for people to return.

Documents generated to establish his birth and his 'mother' were created. His documents established his title were generated as well as Joliara's new documents. The first to arrive was his grandfather's new wife. She looked over at Raven with disdain.

He waved his grandfather and his wife to him.

As they approach he pulled out the blade. He moved the plate with the sausage on it and I lit up the blade. he started cutting up the sausage and put the blade out and set it on the table. He took the plate and handed it his step-grandmother who looked at him funny and she refused to take the plate. He grabbed the blade and point it right at her gut. "Take the fucking plate."

She grabbed it and he grabbed a piece and ate it. He looked at her, "Eat one." She ate one and wrinkles her nose at it. I looked at her, "Put another in your mouth and chew. I want you to listen to what I have to say." She took another and started chewing, "Your son is not a biological match to my grandfather. That has been confirmed.

That means some other guy or guys have been fucking your brains out because he is infertile. That means any children you have are another man's bastard. You are not having any more children. You bring another cock into your bed I am going to cut it up like this and watch you eat it. First, all men stop.

You get pregnant again you and your baby will die tragically in childbirth."

She was white at this point, "Now you are going to tell my grandfather who the father of your child is? Or were you a complete slut at the time in which case give him all of the names. You can swallow now. That is the last cock that will go between your lips. That includes your cunt lips.

Unless my grandfather orders you to your knees to suck his cock all night long. In which can you swallow every single time. Nod if you understand and then start forming words." She swallowed and nodded. "I have only one lover. He is here. He is the head of the sixth house."

He looked at her. "Call him over. Kerria, come over here please."

He looked back at the evil wench, "Still lovers?"

She nodded and he shook my head, "We shall see." The head of the sixth house walked over along with Olivia who saw I am holding a sword on my step-grandmother. He looked at Olivia, "You and Kerria are going to oversee this private discussion between these three. That discussion dealing with the fact that the head of the sixth house has been fucking the head of the third house's wife.

The illegitimate son she has belongs to him. I want my grandfather as the aggrieved party to take what action he thinks is appropriate. Once we have that answer we can decide where to go. This shit is getting really weird. I just want to run a sword through her. I am torn if I want the head of house six alive or not. While you are at it check both of their fertility."

He backed away from the group with the sword still in hand. Joliara returned. She saw Raven walking around with the sword in my hand with the flame going on and off. She walked over to me, "What happened?"

He looked at her, "Your grandfather has been screwing my step-grandmother for years and the son she has belongs to him. You might want to go and join that discussion."

He sheathed his sword and walk out of the room. Rosetta was conducting interviews. She was surprised to see Raven. She walked over. "What is wrong?"

He looked at her, "Go in the room and listen to that shit."

She went in and walked back a few minutes later, "I see why you walked out. They are shouting now."

She walked back over and continued with the interviews and he saw the Duke. He sat down with him, "Hope you are enjoying a relaxing day." He nodded, "I was. What happened to you?"

Raven smiled, "Forced into a destiny. Thought that you should see this." I handed him my documents and he looked at me, "You?"

Raven nodded, "Yes."

He shook his head, "In hiding then?"

he looked at him, "In a manner of speaking. That is why you see all the guards here. There are two royal kings of the elven empire here."

He nodded, "All to deal with you?"

He smiled, "Now you are catching on. Olivia worked the meeting as she is a royal in the other house."

He sighed, "In the future, I need to watch what I say. I never know when I am talking with a royal in hiding."

Raven chuckled and looked at him, "I am also the heir to the throne." He looked at Raven, "That means there is some business going on between the two houses."

Raven smiled, "Lots of business. I am now set to marry a granddaughter from the other house who last night became pregnant with my child.

She will be joining us on the road. Another high power Arcane. The weapon that completed my transformation will not allow me to wield any other weapon. Including a bow. It completely changed a lot of my training as well. I am still an Arcane but I am also a knight who is melee based."

He nodded, "So you will still kick some ass."

Raven nodded, "What I cannot cast I have wands for." He sighed and went back to his drink as Raven left the table and returned to the room. he saw Joliara off to one side and she came toward him, "My Grandfather is in a world of shit. We are going back to the room to rest until they get this worked out. His wife is coming. I contacted her."

They headed up to the room and laid down on the cleaned-up bed and went to sleep for a while. They awoke several hours later as Kerria woke them. She looked at Raven, "They are both still fertile and she is starting to come into her cycle. His wife is here and she has him by the balls at the moment. Olivia is working to calm that down. Your grandfather wants to see you."

Raven chuckled, "Now that is a first."

He got out of bed. Joliara started to get up and Kerria said, "He wants to talk with you alone."

He nodded, "Joliara go and check on your family. Kerria show me where he is staying." They walked out and she took him to another floor which had guards everywhere. "I see the guards did not go away just went upstairs."

She nodded, "They have brought in more as well with the heightened tension."

She looked at Raven, "This is as far as they will let me go."

He looked at the guard, "My grandfather wishes to see me."

He nodded. He let Raven past. Another guard down the hall went and opened a door for Raven. he looked at her, "Keep the peace."

She smiled and left as he walked into his room and he looked at Raven, "I have been too foolish in this matter. You are my heir. I have no other. The paper to disown my wife and son have been signed. It dissolves my marriage to her and as the child is not mine his father has to take responsibility for him. Your plan for my granddaughter is still happening.

A small part of the compensation he is paying me for this insult. You will inherit everything. I know you have no love for the elven court; especially after listening to you talk with the others. You do however have respect for the house. As such I do not want you turning over power to Joliara. She can work to deal with court matters.

Any assets have to be watched closely. The head of the sixth house was making a play all ready to take my house assets. You put a stop to that. Joliara was not familiar with what he had planned. He will likely be forced to step down and turn his house over to the heir. That is their business. By the time the next council meets they will probably be the eighth house.

Mine will be close to being the second house. It is based upon wealth. What is your plan for heirs?" He looked at him, "The throne would go to the eldest legitimate child first. Then the next. Then it would move to my illegitimate children. I have two women pregnant including my bride. I expect to have many more.

The sword will go to the eldest based upon birth order, not legitimacy. Joliara will travel with me for the first year and we shall monitor any pregnancies and to whom. She enjoys the company of women as I do. Rosetta is half-elven and she will maintain a copy of all of these agreements once we finalize them. She will also help to track new heirs.

I will update regularly with someone on who the expecting mothers are and where they can be found. Once I know how the elven courts work I will establish a direct contact to update the list of mothers to put them into the official records. Half-elven or elven. We know the sword can change a half-elven to elven. All of the children will be recognized as part of the house.

Regardless if they are legitimate or illegitimate. Elven or half-elven. The house needs heirs to survive."

He looked at Raven, "I have been against half-elven members being in the house. I am too old to change. This is something you will have to take on. After you marry I will be stepping down within months. My health is failing.

You will become the new King of the third house. You may work with your wife as a proxy but you will have to be in court or she will. You will not renounce your claim. Not even when your children become of age. You must oversee that. You cannot do it if you renounce it. You understand me?"

Raven looked at him. "How trustworthy is my uncle?"

He laughed, "He is not. He has no power nor should he. He has a small stipend and his home is owned by the house and maintained by the house. He has to pay for all of his food and incidentals. Keeps him from drinking away the family fortune. No, it is only you that I can leave this responsibility with. Will you do this for your father. This is what he wanted."

He handed Raven his father's will calling out Raven in his birth name as his heir and wanting his father to recognize him. His father wanted him to take the house into a new age. To do the things Raven just discussed in regards to recognizing the half-elven descendants.

His grandfather looked at Raven, "I did not consider this until I learned of the other two were not of my blood. Confirmed they were not of my blood.

Then it was let my house die or recognize you. I have been quiet. Watching you. You are an idealist that the court will not like. But you have a strength about you that will make the house strong again. Like your father wanted. Like I need you to do now."

Raven looked at him. "I will talk with my ladies including Joliara. I will consider the request of you and my father. That is all I will promise until I talk with them."

He nodded. Raven left the room and thought to himself out loud, "Lyria, you are enjoying fucking with me on this matter. You are really starting to piss me off."

He headed downstairs. He walked into the room and the family was still going at it. He yelled out, "FUCKING STOP!"

The room went quiet for a moment. "I want Joliara, Kerria, and Olivia to come with me. Then you can go back to arguing."

He walked out and look at Rosetta, "Need to talk. Our room now if possible."

She looked at him and talked to the person she was interviewing. He looked over, "This should hopefully not take long."

He headed to their room. All the ladies followed and he closed the door, "My Grandfather has requested I not give up leadership of the house. He will be stepping down in months."

Joliara looked at me, "What did you tell him?"

He looked at her, "That I made no promises until I talked with my ladies. I understand his point given the latest revelations about your Grandfather's plan to bring the third house down became apparent it threw a cloud over everything. I am inclined to go with a cross solution.

I will not renounce, you will be my queen and my proxy in court matters. Any issues dealing with house assets we need to discuss and discuss the impact on your family house. It is not that I do not trust you. I would not marry you if that was the case. We will continue this arrangement until my death.

This way I can keep an accurate track of all of the offspring I bring into the house while traveling. Not ideal but we will have a few months to travel together and you will still have the bulk of the power with the house. Considering what is going on does that sound fair? At least for now?"

She walked up to me, "I was going to propose something similar. At least until you become infertile or die. Then after the last of your children are born we set it up so their recognition cannot be revoked. Then you can decide if the time is right and you are comfortable with our firstborn taking over."

He nodded, "That is something we both can agree upon. I will always have a member of my group track pregnancies in case I die before I get back to record them. The holder of my will, you have to get those entered into the records before my heir can take their place."

She nodded, "That will work as well. They would be way down on the chain but growing this house is a concern. It has money but is short on bodies. This also gives our children time to generate even more heirs."

He smiled, "We are of a like mind on this then."

She nodded and smiled. "Now I have to get back to the fight. You should as well."

He sighed and they went back downstairs. He walked in on the shouting match. He looked around at the three who were yelling, "ALL GUARDS LEAVE. ALL PARTIES SIT."

One lady who he assumed was the head of the sixth house's wife looked at Raven, "Who are you to make demands."

He looked at her, "My grandfather will be stepping down in months. I will be the head, the King of the third Royal house. As it stands he is upstairs should I have him come down to say it? Then he can leave?"

She looked ashen, "I was told you were going to renounce the claim."

He nodded, "That was the plan until your husband's treachery was discovered. My soon to be wife and I are in complete agreement with our plan forward. You can see now why I have a say in this matter on a few different levels."

They motioned the guards to leave. Everyone sat. He looked over, "Let me get up to speed. Has the matter of compensation for this issue been completed to my grandfather's satisfaction?"

She nodded, "It has already been taken care of. The girl is meeting potential suitors now and the financial issues are in the works."

He looked over at her. "What issues remain open?"

She looked at Raven, "How best to punish my husband. How to ensure the child is never acknowledged, that the mother is never welcome in court or any home we own."

He looked at her, "Let us start with the boy. He should be recognized as a member of your house. He is illegitimate but the boy had no say in what occurred. He was the product of the union, not a conspirator. The woman should be kept with her son until he is of age. Somewhere far away from court and your husband's wandering cock.

A small middle-class home is overseen and owned by your house. Once the child is of age the mother is out on the street. She might have remarried by then in which case your problem with her is solved. The child should receive a small stipend. He should never be allowed to hold the title because you never agreed to this arrangement.

As for punishing your husband, the answer is twofold. Stay married to him. He will sign a document stating he can end the marriage under no circumstances. He will be required to have a bodyguard assigned by you that will follow him to the chamber pot to ensure his cock strays nowhere. This guard works for you.

He turns overall control of the house to you until such time as YOU deem he should step down. He dies, you die, or you are unable to continue. Then it turns over to the heir. Either way, you can fucking rule over his life until the day he dies for the disgrace he has caused your house. You can work to repair the damage. If you are unable to do this work then have the next heir take over immediately.

With the same stipulations on your husband's life. If you have an issue with that heir then choose the next one instead. YOUR CHOICE."

She looked at Raven, "I do not like the child being included in anything. But knowing where that bitch is would almost make it worth it. A small home away from the court. Money for the child only and no title because I never agreed to the child."

She paused, "I can live with that." The head of the house simply nodded. He looked at them, "That is one issue solved. Now the next."

The King of the sixth house looked up, "I like nothing about the punishment you have purposed. Giving her control over everything and a guard to watch me day and night?"

Raven looked at him, "Giving it to her or your heir may be your only option if my grandfather decided to pursue it further. What would the other royal houses do?"

He looked at Raven, "I still refuse a guard."

He looked at her, "Well are you fertile?"

She shook her head, "Not in years."
