Chapter 263: New Pajamas and Raising Morale
Oh, my wives are close to evolving once again. Probably after this war, they will evolve, and Flora is quite a unique being. She has cursed blood, which I have no idea what the effects are… I'll just [Inspect] it later.
But besides that, she's powerful. Her skills are unique, and she's even the third horseman of the apocalypse like Zehar, who is the first.
And if I had to guess… Zehar represents death. And my cute little Flora represents famine due to that last skill that stood out the most.
"[Starving Fruit Creation] huh? Interesting..."
"Is that one of Flora's skills?" Treyni asks after hearing me mutter to myself.
"Oh, yeah… Lemme [Inspect] it actually,"
[Starving Fruit Creation]
[A skill that allows you to create lush and bright looking fruit which could make even the most refined connoisseurs drool over, but its looks are deceiving as the fruit is laced with a toxin that causes extreme hunger. Only the Horseman of Famine from The Four Horseman of the Apocolypse can wield this skill]
"The Four Horseman of the Apocolypse…" I mutter.
Four legendary beings riding on horses and combined create the Four Horseman of the Apocolypse. Each horseman represents a punishment by god such as famine, death, conquest, and war…
I never studied Christianity as I was a hard-core atheist… I mean, even after praying to god. My life was still a living hell… So why should I grasp onto something that I don't even know exists…
But of course, religion is all about belief which I, of course, followed in the beginning, but thoughts began to plague my mind not long after.
Why do I still have to live like this? I'm going to hell anyway due to me killing my parents, so even if I believe in god, will he forgive my sins… And that's how I let go of this escapism called religion and decided to work on myself.
After that, life began to get much better. No negative thoughts bounced around in my mind, and life was going well… but of course, I died a few years later.
"How the hell do I keep going on such tangents," I mutter before burying my face into Homura's thighs.
"So cute," Homura mutters.
"So, how was it?" Treyni asks.
"It's an OP skill, but make sure she doesn't give any of the fruit she produces to anybody," I say before feeling my mind drift away.
"Okay, we'll have a good rest,"
"Mhm,"
…
[Day 88]
A dull morning passed as nothing happened besides a constant downpour of rain, which I assumed was the cause of Autumn slowly approaching.
Dry brown and orange leaves were falling off the trees, and upon losing grip of their flimsy brown branches, they slowly drifted off into the streets of my kingdom, where they then changed into a crinkly and crunchy brown leaf.
Plus, the air was chilly when I took my first refreshing step out of my castle, I immediately went back in and changed into more comfy clothing.
"I want a onesie," I mutter.
I didn't know why, but the sudden urge to be wrapped in a constant blanket was the only thing I could think of… So I, of course, got Aimi to do it while also having a small chat with her.
I was currently waiting for Kumo to finish planning our next step because when I tried to offer her some help, she told me to go away and let her focus, so I, of course, had to listen to her wishes.
Reluctantly, of course, as I haven't had any time to spend with her... It made me quite sad.
On the other hand, Aika seemed more focused on training Hades and her disciples than hanging out with me, so that was another reason for my depressive mood.
"So, when do you think this will be done by?" I asked Aimi, who sat across from her wooden desk.
"I can complete it right now if you would like. It's not like it's infused with magic or enchanted with anything, so it's doable," Aimi responds before sitting up from her chair.
And then slowly, she lifted her hands like a puppeteer and began to wave her hands in the air.
Any average person would've called her crazy, but from what my enhanced senses saw, she was creating such a masterpiece that even the best tailors in my previous life couldn't compare.
Each stroke in the air weaved together an almost invisible piece of string which then wove together with another one and then another and another.
A black and white onesie began to form, and I couldn't help but become entranced with the almost dance-like movements that Aimi presented before me.
"Here you go. And it's free of charge, your highness," Aimi says before placing the onesie neatly in my arms and bowing deeply.
"That was quite a spectacle," I mutter before immediately stripping and putting on the onesie, which looked like a penguin.
Aimi already had a husband, so it didn't matter...
After putting on the oversized onesie, I immediately noticed how soft it was. Almost like clouds had wrapped around me and gave me a warm hug. It was so much better than my nightgown at home, so I decided to order another nightgown that I could wear some other time.
And after another minute, she had created my nightgown, and it fit perfectly, so I removed it, and Aimi got one of her assistants to bring it back to my castle as I had one last thing to do before going back.
Leaving Aimi's store, I was suddenly met by a torrential downpour of rain that didn't let up.
Everybody had taken shelter in their lovely warm homes, but a gloomy aura could be felt radiating from the very front of my kingdom where the wall was… And I already knew why that was happening.
*flap* *flap* *flap*
As I slowly descended to the ground, I noticed a roof made of stone coated the large army, and food was being distributed. It consisted of some dried meat, fruits, and water that came in a wooden cup.
The morale was low due to them being cramped in such a tight space, the nipping cold from the high winds, and then blowing rain which began to bite at the edges of the army.
"We greet your highness," All the commanders say after running up to me and kneeling on one knee.
"Rise… Now, what should we do about this," I mutter after gesturing for the commanders to stand up.
They immediately followed my order before glancing at the army behind them, which wasn't doing so well.
[Ancient Fire Magic: Ichimei]
Suddenly, thousands of tiny white wisps of fire began to sprout from the ground like blooming flowers, heating the cold and depressed soldiers who seemed to be at their breaking point.
Warmth began to spread along the air like a celestial being was weaving fire into the atmosphere itself, evaporating the rain upon contact and turning the broken morale into a slowly rising one.
"ALL HAIL THE QUEEN!" Everybody shouted in unison, causing me to crack a smile.
"BRING ALCOHOL!" I shout, calling for the assistants who were currently bringing out food for the soldiers.
And without speaking a word, they nodded their heads before bowing and leaving, all the while everybody else shouted in excitement.
"W-wow… That was awesome," Owen stutters, eyes widened, and a shocked smile plastered all over his face.
I didn't respond and just increased the intensity of the wisps slightly just in case I missed any spots.
"Your highness, are you okay? That must've taken up quite a bit of mana," Olivia asks, clearly worried about me.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I didn't even feel a large quantity of mana be ripped from me," I mutter while glancing at Olivia, who stepped beside me.
Hmmmmm… She's become less cocky… Before, she seemed a tad arrogant, but I guess that war put her in her place… But I think it was for the best of her.

"Oh yeah, I forgot Mother Nature blessed you… How did that happen?" I ask the beautiful dryad next to me.
After hearing me, Olivia seemed a bit shocked, but it was soon wiped from her face as she probably realized I had [Inspect].
"I-I honestly don't know…."
"What do you mean you don't know?"
