Chương 574: Important Business Decisions (1)

"This is a lot of wine... how are you going to manage to get it all bottled up in time for tomorrow's visit back to Domus Stella? That just seems-!"

Renna paused as she looked at me, before looking back down at the various vats of wine that we had spent around an hour refining, the red head sighing softly only to shake her head as she said "Never mind, I don't know why I want to bother asking... But... are they actually done done, or are we giving it some more time?"

I had cleaned myself off after the break - obviously, since I was coming back outside to where the children were all frolicking in the grasses and playing around together - but I still smelt like a bouquet of incredible scents that made me all the more aroused, as was Renna since she was hugging my arm and trying to hide the way her nose twitched when she leaned closer to me and making herself all the more adorable.

After Shelur had come in to take her break, I had waited for someone else only to have Rhefia come back in and fuck me again, the Deerkin unable to help herself before she told me that Prixisia and Yiksa were content for the time being, and Camara was apparently holding out for tonight, since Aethisia had made her earlier whisper to me known and got my eldest daughter excited for the possibility of being bred again tonight.

When Rhefia finished inside me again, the Deerkin crept over to peek on Kalia being pounded by Inik before asking me to polish off her cock, which of course led to yet another ejaculation just because she was horny beyond belief.

Now we were outside again - all of us, including Kalia and her lover - discussing the wants of each person in regards to their wines, and if they actually wanted to have their own unique, named wine inside the store.

"Um... Astra, you don't mind me saying to just sell mine as a normal bottle, right..? I don't really want... or need for it to be special..."

Heila was the first to ask that, and she gave me a worried smile as she glanced at her own wine before looking towards Rhefia, who was sitting beside her vat listening to the three children in front of her, who were trying to convince her to play with them.

"If that's what you want... but I could always sell it as a pair with Rhefia's brandy that she wants to make; something light and refreshing to go with the heavy, stronger alcohol that she wants to sell. Doesn't that sound wonderful~? The big antlered bottles she wants to sell coming with a smaller, daintier bottle for her little Doe~!"

Watching Heila blush at that idea was amusing, and I leaned down to gently poke her stomach as I added "Because you ARE her little Doe, Heila... that was your decision you made, and while she loves~ to claim she can work independently, we both know she loves~ having someone supporting her..."

Her blush deepened as she glanced back at the Deerkin, and I followed her gaze, which landed first on Rhefia before moving instead over to Ehretia, the little Doe that Rhefia had put inside me bouncing around energetically as she tried to convince her Dama even more, bringing a smile to my lips as I saw Rhefia's ability to say no gradually crumble beneath the adorable onslaught that was our two children and her child from Suu.

"You're her Doe, Heila, and you're just~ as important in this family as everyone else is, remember that. If you don't want your own special bottles, that's fine, but-"

"I-I'll... I'll have my own, actually... You're idea was... well... it was convincing."

Giggling, I pat her stomach again before turning to Yiksa next, the older Dark Elf pursing her lips as she said "I uh... would rather not sell my wine..? It tastes good, but I'd rather keep it for myself, y'know? And it was fun to make, but not something I really am wanting to do again."

"Very well. And Inik..?"

The Hawkkin was holding a bucket of wine and staring at the red liquid within it, her eyes narrowed as she said "I wouldn't mind selling it, but I was just making sure that I was allowed to do so..? I didn't want to presume anything, what with me being..."

"New? Well, Inik, I hate to break it to you but once you are in the family... you aren't getting out of the family that easily, if at all~! So yes, you can sell your wine. Do I need to... convince you, perhaps~? Show you just how 'in' the family you are~?"

Her slightly worried expression melted away instantly as she smirked at me, the Hawkkin raising a brow as she asked "Perhaps I do require just a little~ convincing on how 'in' this family I am... and since you are the 'Matriarch', I suppose you would be the best one to show me, wouldn't you~?"

Renna pinched my waist as I coyly smiled at Inik, while Yiksa narrowed her eyes as she crossed her arms and looked between the Hawkkin and I, the two giving me clear warnings to not step on Kalia's toes here, but it was so much fun playing this flirting game with Inik...

"But yes, you are able to sell your wine if you want, and we need to get it all finalized tonight over dinner. Everyone will need to tell me what they want to imbue their wines with, what they want the bottles to look like, if they want to make it fancier or simpler..."

"Well, should we start the imbuing process now then? Since you wanted to head back into BIrchan tomorrow, right? Are we going to visit the Auction House to look for some 'employees' as well?"

Renna frowned slightly at that before sighing and nodding her head, the Duchess donning a complicated expression as she said "I'm not against the idea, so long as they aren't terrible people. I would like to avoid criminal slaves if we decide to run the store that way. And... are you going to go visit Magistrate Fenkar tomorrow, Astra?"
