《Kingdom's Gates》Chapter Ten
Advertisement
"Jason!" a melodious young voice of Sheila reaches Jason's ears as he is about to head forward to the stairs out of the bunker. Turning, he sees the young lady, her blond shoulder-length hair made into two cute pigtails tied with a yellow ribbon in a bow. She wears a knee-length yellow checker dress with a yellow scarf wrapped around her midsection. A large bow is tied on her left side, enhancing her young figure and raising her large breasts. Her knee-high white sock and yellow shoes ended the delightful and cute look as she bounced into the room and stopped before him, and lifted up and down on her toes. The look of excitement and happiness seems to roll off her as he blue eyes shine at him.
Ever since the time she saw him, she has announced that she will marry Jason. No matter how often he has told her that she was too young, she keeps on pestering him hoping to wear him down. Don't take it wrong, but yes, she is a beautiful girl who will grow into her beauty and become a gorgeous woman when she gets old. But there are two problems: she is young and the second is that she is immature. Only older women seem to grab his attention. No, it is not because he has a mother complex, but in reality, he found after dating a few women that were ten to twenty years older than him made him comfortable to be around them. He found them to be stimulating in knowledge in and out of the bedroom. Like Alice, for instance, she is a smart, loving, caring woman that he can talk to for hours. Sometimes, they can sit on her front porch and just say nothing and enjoy each other's company without worrying about putting on airs and trying to impress the other. Although Alice has caught his attention ever since he first saw her on video chat with her son Chet. So, a girl who is almost eighteen years old doesn't appear on his radar.
"Can, can I be one of your wives in the future? Please!" batting her eyes at him.

He stood there, stun mulling over what she said. "Wait, what? Wives, Sheila, I not even have one, and you spouting out wives to me?"
"Yes! Wives!" she exclaims breathlessly. "A Lord can have up to ten wives. One for each tier of the kingdom! They also can have concubine for each kingdom they conquer and claim!"
Holding up his hand to get her to stop bouncing around. "Okay, let's go back to what you said about wives, and a lord of a kingdom can have up to ten. Why would I want the headache of trying to please ten wives? It's hard enough to keep one happy, let alone ten."
"You and your wives will get benefits. For each wife, you get half of her main Stat added to yours, and she gets half of your main Stat back. On top of that, you get half of her main skill or spell that is the strongest. She will not lose that Stat or spell. It only strengthens both of you. On top of that, each wife shares the other wives' main Stat by one quarter. Thus it makes all of you stronger. For instance, marrying me, you get half of my twenty-five points in Mental. Which is thirteen because you round up. And you get my Flame Strike which you already have but the damage increase by half. So if you can make twenty points of damage, it becomes thirty. If you have two wives with Flame Strike, it double damage." Raising on her tiptoes, grinning at him. The system made it that way so each lord or lady can't be the same because their wives' or husbands' power or skill will always be different. A lord will continually change over time gain more levels and skills that will make them grow stronger. So no two lords or ladies will be the same if they decide to fight. You are only as strong as your people and the territory they own."
Taking a breath, "Then! You get concubines for each kingdom you keep that you conquer. You can get female monsters or and human-like version of the monster that the kingdom orb will generate for you. You can assign a woman to become the representative of the kingdom so you can control it fully. Otherwise, you will have to go and change things in each kingdom you control on site. But, if you have a concubine, you can remotely control it from your game table and instantly can communicate to that person what you need."

"Oh, yeah, you have to bed your wives once a week and your concubines once a year or lose the loyalty of your people within your kingdom. If your loyalty drops below seventy-five percent, your people have a chance of rebelling each month by twenty-five percent."
"Now talking about your mistresses, if you bed a woman, you can get one to three stats points per day or a basic skill that they have at first level." She stopped when Jason held up his hand.
Jason checked over his stats and saw that he gained two mental points with a time beside it, say 23:05:10, and he watched the last number count down the seconds until he went to four on minutes. The times shown were when he got out of bed with Alice. All types of confusing thoughts flew through his head at this time. Shaking his head, he looks at the joyous girl in front of him.
"Sheila, you know my thoughts on this. You're too young for me." holding up his hand and staring her in the eyes. Tapping her lightly on the head. "I need a person that can think with their noggin and not with her heart. I prefer older women. After all, they have already got past wanting to impress a man because most of them already feel good about themselves and relax in their body. Not every woman is that way, but the ones who know what they want and how to get it without using tricks.
If you want my attention in the future, become a woman you are going to grow into. Stop worrying about how everyone will perceive you to be. Be yourself and surprise everyone. If you really want to get my attention, become indispensable to me so that I will have to keep you around. By reading the Help section on Kingdom, you gave me good information. I will need you to read everything and find loopholes in the riles that we can use to get more powerful and protect everyone. As for future wives, when that moment comes, we will deal with it. I will not rush into something I am uncomfortable with, and the person I am with has not given their input. Right now, I am with Alice, and I don't see me not being by her side at this time."
Leaning forward and kissing her forehead, "Make me proud, and I have ten tiers Kingdom to build before I have to decide if I want more than one wife." Patting her on the head before turning around and heading upstairs.
'Maybe by the time I reach tier ten, she can find a cute guy she can get attached to in the kingdom.' Jason thought.
Sheila's eyes are wide as she touches her forehead, where he kisses her. Resolving to be the woman that will make him notice her in the future. Her heart thumped loudly when she realized that he didn't say no!
Jason steps into the pantry and is surprised at the size of the room. Hearing Alice's voice is loud and angry as she told someone that they would be stripped and flogged if anyone tried to climb into his bed or try to entice him into sex. Thinking that maybe she already knows about the kingdom and the wives. This is going to be a headache. He steps out of the pantry and into the kitchen full of people. Alice is standing in front of a short, redheaded woman in her thirties wearing a black maid uniform with four maids behind the woman. Seeing Alice seem to be jealous about another redheaded woman in the house that could replace her. He smiles but decides not to tease her. He really doesn't want to lose his balls to her anger. Laughing to himself.

... And My Skillet
A long time ago, a child was born under the great blue sky. Many a Dwarf grumbled at the auspicious event, tugging furtively at their beards at this ill omen. A year later as the expedition had begun digging into the virgin hills of their new home, the grumbling of the doughty mountain people rose to a disbelieving furor when the yearling passed over the ritual offerings that would determine his lot in life. Instead, the as of yet unnamed child crawled over to a skillet fresh out of the fire and begun picking at the rock bread, unconcerned with the heat. Shouts turned into laughter, frowns lifted into craggy smiles. Upon placing a handful of the bread into his mouth, the infant’s face grew so grim and stony not even the eldest of the present Dwarves could match him. There was a durable ore within this babe, of that the Lore Keeper was sure. Yumly Ironhand was thus named, the beginning of his great tale immortalized on the rune walls of his clan’s history. “It’s pronounced Yoom Lee and no, rock bread isn’t a misnomer.”

Life in Zora's Domain
An AU about Mipha's and Link's life together post Calamity. I tried to have some fun with this story, taking it in different directions, developing Mipha's and Link's family, making up some adventures, and creating some connections to other Zelda stories. But the main theme is Mipha's and Link's love for each other and building a happy life together. I'm sure I don't always succeed, but I try to keep the story light hearted and generally opt for happy outcomes.The first 2 chapters now incorporate the prequel stories 'His Future is in the Past' and 'Beginning Life in Zora's Domain', so this AU is self-contained in one story. If you've already read the prequels just jump to Chapter 1 - Studying. Cover art where available is by Nurple(twitter dot com/nurpleynurple) and used by permission. Spoiler Warning: This story has spoilers! On the other hand, if you haven't played the game this story won't make sense. This writing is a work of fan fiction using characters and events from the world of The Legend of Zelda TM: Breath of the Wild, which is owned and copyrighted by Nintendo. I do not claim any ownership of the world or its characters. It is a work of my imagination and is for entertainment only. It is not part of the official Nintendo storyline.
