Arpious of the Planes

"A mere knight dares to court a princess?" She asked.

"M-Mother-"

"I apologize, but I still love her. I would be willing to even give up my life to stay beside her, so please don't interfere with our relationship,"

I turned to Quincy as if she was insane, but my mother suddenly smiled brightly before saying,

"Then welcome to the family,"

I let out a long sigh of relief as she was only just testing Quincy, trying to make sure she was worthy of being in a relationship with me.

"Thank you very much!" Quincy shouted excitedly before running up to me and catching my hug mid-dive, spinning me around and then separating with a single kiss.

"Alright, love birds, let's get some coffee, shall we?" My mother asked, the dark circles under her eyes growing a tad bit bigger.

We silently followed behind her until we reached a small cafe just outside the palace, where a few knights would always visit when their break finally came.

We sat down at a table for three, and a handsome waiter came to attend to us, but it seemed my mother already knew him as all she had to mutter was,

"Just the usual, please. Oh, and get these two a few black coffees,"

"Actually, I'll take some sugar and cream with mine," I interrupted, and the waiter lightly smiled before jotting down the modification and leaving in a split second.

"Anyway… mother, how have you been? Actually, no, when did you get back from the other plane? And shouldn't you report it to the demon commander?" I assaulted my mother with a multitude of questions.

"Slow down… But, first of all, I've been doing alright. Pretty tired from all the stress and work, but I also just got back a few months ago. And finally, I've already talked to the demon commander, and he's dumped so much work on me that I'm actually about to kill him once I see him again," My mother lightly chuckled, but her threatening words were more than enough to make me and my girlfriend shiver with fear.

But, as soon as she saw our pale faces and frozen bodies, she let out a long sigh to reassure us that she wasn't about to go on a massacre.

"I'm just kidding… Anyway, I completed my mission on the other plane and also managed to evolve while I was at it. I can probably take out the princess… or so I thought. She's grown much stronger from the last time I saw her. The primordial frost has almost completely taken over her body, and she isn't even a frost drake anymore… ugh, what a pain," My mother groaned with annoyance.

"Really? You went and saw her?" Quincy asked in disbelief since such a thing was unheard of.

"Yep, and she's doing better than ever. She might be losing her people, but her own individual power is definitely making up for it… I can't wait to take that power from her. Once it is mine, I'll practically be a great spirit already," She lightly chuckled before glancing upwards.

We looked at where she glanced at and saw a trio of beautiful older women enter through the front door, coated in illusions.

Well, Quincy might've just seen them as frost rabbits, but as my eyes and constitution were exceptionally strong, I easily saw through the illusion.

"Your daughter has good eyes," The succubus muttered before taking a table right next to ours.

And just as they sat down, our own orders came, with six coffees and three pastries that were split amongst the other three.

"Hello, ladies," The waiter greeted the trio before walking off with a large smile on his face.

I really felt like a child as I just sat there with my milky coffee while everybody else sipped on their pitch-black liquid.

"You seem a bit tired," The pale woman with long yellowish-blond hair muttered before placing her hand on my mother's shoulder.

"Yeah, work has been a bit stressful lately. What about you? Have your missions come along nicely?"

"Yep, we've been helping out your wife on the front lines, and she is dazzling. I wouldn't mind adding her to my harem," The woman chuckled, and I saw both the succubus and elven woman behind her slightly frown.

"Unfortunately, she's already mine," Mother replied with a small teasing smile, and surprisingly, both of them kissed before splitting with an even wider smile.

"Huh? Y-You have another wife? O-Or wives?" I muttered, completely shell-shocked by this new revelation.

"Oh, just this woman. I'm part of her harem, and she's technically part of mine. The other's part of hers but not a part of mine," Mother explained, but my mind swirled with these thoughts, causing everybody to chuckle lightly.

"Oh yeah, your wife also told me to tell you that she took your son to the front lines. He's been doing quite well, but they were thinking of coming back in a few days… so you should also take a break. You've been working hard, and you can leave the rest to us for now… I'll be sure to keep those frost drakes back," The woman reassured my mother, and with one more kiss, they decided to separate.

"Alright, I'll make my way back by the end of the day. That king can fuck himself with the amount of work he's placed on me… and what about you?" My mother suddenly turned to me with the others staring right in my direction.

The pressure of just their eyes was excruciating, but I just managed to slip out,

"I think I'll be staying. The princess has been quite annoying lately and is not helping me out with her very own work, so I think I'll take this time to bond with her… o-oh, and that doesn't mean I'll be courting her," I made clear, but the four women before me just lightly smirked.

"Alright, playgirl, go get her," My mother chuckled before the conversation continued on and on until the end of the day.

We all had fun catching up with each other, and my girlfriend, who felt most out of place towards the beginning, eventually became best friends with the succubus and elf, who had tons in common.

…

(Quincy POV)

I was a bit curious, so I decided to take a slip at my mother in laws status, and normally this would've been a massive offense, but our relationship had grown quite a bit, so I believe I was ready.

"Geez… It really is massive," I muttered with Hepha looking over at me as if I was crazy.
