Chapter 259: CHAPTER 258
Just like the morning after he was with Helena and Candice, Andrew, Carolina, and Aki woke up late and this time it was Candice who brought them breakfast in bed, however, she did not interrupt their sleep as Carolina had done the day before.
Candice knew that Carolina had woken them up the day before because she had to attend to her business and it was natural for her to do so, but since she had already decided not to leave the Heavenly Palace she did not want to take revenge for her sister's action.
Andrew, Carolina, and Aki thanked Candice for her gesture and ate happily. After finishing, they went to take a bath, as they still had all the dirt accumulated from the previous day.
Andrew's night with Carolina and Aki was not as wild as Helena and Candice's, so they didn't mind going to bed without bathing the night before. Once they had showered and changed clothes, they left the room and began their respective activities.
Candice took over the desk in Andrew's office to review her business, while Andrew sat on one of the sofas reviewing the accounting books of the Heavenly Palace.
Carolina went to the lab to continue her studies and Aki to train as was her custom in the mornings. Despite getting up late as Candice was now not going out, she was able to train with Oliver and the others.
The day went fairly normally. Gaston and Canna took care of Candice's business, while Erick and Vala trained with Oliver, Aki, Castor, and Marie.
Oliver did not accompany them for the entire training, as he had to establish a plan for the trip out of the country. He already had an outline of the plan of action, he was finalizing details, as he would present his proposal in the evening.
Andrew continued with his activities. Tonight it was up to Carolina and Helena to join him in bed, so he had sex with Aki and Candice during the day.
Although he normally had sex with Aki in the office, since Candice had moved in there, he had to meet Aki elsewhere. While Candice received his affection in the office. Find joy at m-vl_em|p,yr
After dinner, everyone gathered in the office as usual, but everyone's expression was serious, as they knew Oliver would lay out his travel plan. Oliver didn't beat around the bush and immediately began to explain.
His plan was really simple but well organized. The idea was to go out under the cover of night using Aki's acquired skill. She had practiced a lot and although she had not mastered yet it she could use it for at least 5 minutes even if she took other people with her.
Oliver had made it clear that, in that time they could leave the city unnoticed and from there they would travel by non-commercial routes to the kingdom of Dunnas. Although normally traveling such routes was dangerous, due to the times they were in, the trade routes were now more unsafe.
Thieves swarmed near these routes trying to rob merchants, especially those who traded food, so the once safe routes were dangerous and the once dangerous routes were safe.
For this reason, Oliver preferred to use non-trading routes. In addition, this way they could also avoid cities and checkpoints that would give away their targets to the higher-ups in the empire.
While it is true that they could not stop them, if they found out that Andrew wanted to leave the country, it could generate certain misunderstandings.
Despite these measures, it would be impossible to prevent them from finding out, so Oliver thought that the plan to follow was to sneak out and after a few days, Candice would go to Marquis Valoide to report Andrew's departure to get supplies for the empire.
Although this had previously been thought of as an excuse, Oliver thought it would be good to carry it out, as it would put them in the good books of the empire, so buying food and sending it to the empire had become another objective of their trip.
Everyone agreed with Oliver's approach, but it generated some doubts when they saw the route Oliver had planned. According to the route they intended to take, they would pass through the elf forest, which could be dangerous.
While there was no restriction on passing through the elf forest in the empire, in these times, the situation might be different, but Oliver was confident that the elves would not cause them any trouble as long as they did not break into their territory.
Although many still doubted, they said nothing and trusted Oliver's plan. He was not only the most powerful expert in the group, but everyone knew his past as a strategist and military general, so they had no way of refuting him.
With that defined, all that remained was to set the date on which they would leave and Andrew said it would be sometime next week, as he still needed to collect enough points to buy the fertility matrix and impregnate his wives.
This was a requirement that Andrew would not seduce and for some reason no one refused. It was obvious that they agreed, as Candice's subordinates were more than excited for their boss to have offspring, and Oliver and the others were no different, they just expected all of Andrew's wives to have children.
With everything settled, the meeting ended. It was quite late by the time they finished, so they left leaving Andrew with Carolina and Helena who were the ones chosen to join him tonight.
The days progressed steadily and smoothly, at least for the Heavenly Palace, but for the empire of Cannaris and the kingdom of Tripia, it was quite the opposite.
Hostilities were increasing every day and little by little on the border of both countries armies were gathering. The empire even sent Aldus, one of the knights of the empire, to command the troops on the border.
For its part, the kingdom of Tripia also sent some of its most powerful warriors to command its troops on the border, while they finished preparing the explosive devices that they planned to throw into the elven forest.
These devices were not as simple to manufacture as one might think. Especially since Belenio wanted to increase the attack power of these devices to cause the most damage, so they would still spend about a month to complete the 10 devices.
Since Oliver's plan depended on Aki's ability to get them unnoticed out of the city, she focused on training her ability to get as good as she could in the time they had left.
As the week passed Andrew gathered the necessary points and immediately purchased the fertility matrix and immediately sent Dino to buy the necessary materials to acquire them.
Since it was a very powerful matrix the materials were not simple, but not impossible to get, only that they would spend a lot of money, but Candice did not hesitate to give the money to buy them.
Dino had to travel to different cities of the empire to get the materials and despite the large amount of money he spent, it took him about a week to gather them all and return to the Heavenly Palace.
Although many spies followed him to find out what he was doing, they could only discover the materials he bought and could only intuit that Andrew was planning to create another medicine such as rejuvenating cream or tissue repairing cream.
While they knew the materials he purchased were expensive, none of them knew what they would be used for, as they could be used for many medicines, so it didn't draw that much attention.
Andrew following Fluffy's instructions set up the Matrix and once it was established, the rule of two girls per night was modified. Since Aki would be accompanying him on his journey, he could not impregnate her, so Candice, Carolina, and Helena would share the nights with Andrew and Aki would share the day.
Although the matrix was powerful, it was not of divine level, so it only increased the chance of the girls getting pregnant, there were no guarantees, but to their surprise, after a week, Carolina became pregnant.
In this world, identifying a pregnancy needed the support of magic, and even with this power one could only identify a pregnancy after a month of gestation, however, Fluffy was a divine beast, the moment Carolina became pregnant, he reported it.
Everyone was euphoric with the news and unexpectedly, the most excited with the news apart from Carolina and Andrew, was Carmen. This woman was the one who was pushing the hardest for an heir and when she found out about Carolina's pregnancy, she almost threw a party.
However, this excitement was soon overcome, as three days later Helena also became pregnant and Candice two days after her also became pregnant.
Andrew was puzzled, as even with the fertility matrix it was not supposed to be so easy, but Fuffly explained to him that he had spent all the points Andrew earned to strengthen the matrix, so its effectiveness increased.
While this might anger Andrew, as the points are valuable, the truth was that he praised Fluffy for doing it, as he would be a father and could not contain his enthusiasm, so when the three girls became pregnant, he closed the Heavenly Palace and held a party with everyone.
