A Cold Welcome Part 3

Stooof is gonna be happening soooon. 

------------------

“Yes Mommy! I swear on my name I will hold out and stay the entire time at Dinner! If I don’t make a sound and… eat all of my food too… can I be ungrounded pleaasssee!?” Corrin pleaded even as her belly rumbled once more, her swollen tummy now sticking out nearly five inches as it growled and swirled with a growing blizzard.

“I just-“ Kaguya wanted to be annoyed at her. But the Irrvast queen could say nothing to her princess. Just as when Kaguya commanded something it would be done by day's end no matter how arduous a task, when Corrin begged no Irrvast could say no… except maybe Arkyn, Orion, and Sirin. “We will see… now go get ready. Your brothers should be arriving at any moment.” Kaguya successfully managed to deflect as Corrin nodded and hurried off, clutching her belly carefully to make sure it didn’t jostle the effervescent sweets inside her.

Fifteen minutes later. Kaguya was resting on her Klinai at the private dining chamber solely for the head family at the time. Kaguya was the sole Irrvast there at the dinner table, but was not the sole person in the room. Kaguya smiled as she thought of how excited Cassinder was when he was crowned Head of the Irrvast Clan, and how he laughed pettily at his brother when he kicked him out of the dining chamber in a great ceremony. “Ahh Cassius fumed for weeks when Cassinder did that. Mhm-hmm-hmm!” Kaguya giggled to herself before her belly rumbled. Kaguya’s cheeks flushed a bit deeper, though they were already quite blue as she shifted on the pillowed furniture, laying down as she was she simply adjusted herself so that her ample ass faced the ceiling before letting out the fresh wind before it bothered her.

 *FFFFFFFRRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTTTT*

 A windy blast of cold air noisly fluttered her dress as Kaguya’s fanned her ample behind for a second and huffed before shifting back. Her breasts no longer crushed underneath her as she rested on her cushions and tried to avoid picking out the food served for her already.

 “They are late.” Kaguya grumbled as one of the servants, an unawakened Irrvast girl born from another woman and adopted in, gave a quick “eep!” before quieting herself and nodding. She was blushing from Lady Kaguya’s constant farts, but like all the long time servants, she was quite used to them and would not dare make the Lady of the House ashamed for her windy bottom. Though Kaguya being grumpy was always a scary thing…

 “Yes, Lady Kaguya! Lord Cassinder sent a message ahead that he would be a bit late, and he would desire you wait for him.” The servant spoke as other servants set the large table and made sure Isaac and Arkyn’s chairs were across from each other with Corrin opposite Kaguya, and two thick warm Imeris on the floor for Sigrun and Sirin to lay on. Kaguya groaned in a dramatic fashion as she sighed and avoided picking at her food, making the servant girl smile at the Queen’s exaggerated dissatisfaction.

“My love makes me wait for dinner, my children are not even here, and the smell of such delicious food is making my stomach *FRRRRRRRRRTTTT* even more tempestuous!” Kaguya whined after biting her lip and letting out another icy fart, filling the room even more with her wintry scent as the servant girl carefully fanned the icy gas away with a smile on her face. She, as well as all the other now smiling servants, knew that the lady was just letting off some steam and she would wait days without eating if her love asked her to.

“Indeed, your husband is such a worthless cretin. Making a Queen like you wait~” A warm, gravelly voice rang out. A servant gasped as Kaguya’s eyes lit up, but not in rage, a tremendous smile bloomed on her face as the owner of the voice revealed himself. If any other man had dared said those words, their head would have flown from their shoulders before they could even finish the sentence, but the speaker of the insult was none other than Lord Cassinder Irrvast himself. Appearing from thin air behind his wife and grabbing her atop the Kalia.

 “Ooh~! Cassinder, you know I detest invisibili-mmf~” Kaguya was immediately quieted when her husband wrapped his powerful hands against her stomach and lifted her, cupping her left breast a bit as his warm lips delighted in her cooling plump lips, her breath chilling his as he broke the kiss and saw her face was a deep azure.

 “Hmph~. You are forgiven.” Kaguya smiled warmly before she turned back to the table of food, Cassinder threw off his cloak as an older male servant caught it. The Wood Elf smiled, the Exalted-turned-House Servant grinned at his Master as he deftly pulled out Cassinder’s chair, as Cassinder much preferred large comfy chairs to sit in compared to the bed-like Kalia.

 Cassinder grinned at his wife’s false temper, kissing her once again before he sat down as head of the table. “Spells like [Vanish] are very useful for espionage and information gathering my love. Such as checking out my wife from behind without her noticing~” Cassinder grinned as he adjusted himself in his chair. While he like many Irrvasts were Blazers of Blacktorch, he was no slouch with his physical training either. His broad shoulders and wide chest with his well-kept black beard fit the lord of the house perfectly, his Black Sclera and glowing blue eyes shining with the might of a Ghostblade wielder. His clothes sported the Irrvast mark as well as those of house Blazer, and the treasured Head of House mark bestowed by the King. His outer shirt was unbuttoned down to the last two, with a thick black shirt underneath. Cassinder removed his gloves and set them down next to his plates.

 “You devil~ Did you like what you saw?” Kaguya rested a hand under her chin as she adjusted her ample bottom to block it from the view of her husband. Cassinder grinned as the servant girl filled his cup with hot chocolate and mead, mixed very lightly to avoid the ‘Head Family Curse’ that the Head Irrvast family had become notorious for…

 “Haha! Of course my Virrate~ Since the day I laid eyes on you, even the light of the sun pales to your beauty.”

 “Oh shh! The children should be here soon!” Kaguya hid her smile as best she could, but no one could pretend the Queen of the Irrvasts was not grinning from ear to ear, and her creamy cheeks were nearly as blue as the ice over a deep lake, or perhaps their daughter’s favorite flavor of Snowcombs.

 “Speaking of… where are my brats and my darling princess?” Cassinder spoke aloud. The servant girl who had spoken before, Irina, bowed before speaking up.

 “Lord Cassinder, your sons both stated they would be here by the ringing of the Bells, Lady Corrin returned to her room but said she would be here as soon as possible. If you wish, I can go fetch-“

 “That will be all, Irina. Thank you.” A youthful but powerful voice filled the hall, a young man with rough white hair as flawless as Kaguya’s strode into the room, with eyes just like his Father's and a very similar build minus the beard. Arkyn’s stride did not slow as he removed his cloak and smiled to his Mother and Father, before pulling his own seat out and sitting down.

“Hello, Mother, Father. Thank you for waiting for me. Since this is a head family-only dinner, I switched into much more comfortable clothes.” Arkyn spoke clearly and with emphasis, as if he would only speak once and every word must be heeded. Kaguya smiled as the Bells had still not rung, technically Arkyn was still early.

“Oh but Arkyn, the clothes of a Shadow look so regal on you!” Kaguya voiced a soft complaint over Arkyn’s choice of fashion. While he looked incredibly dashing in his all-black and red cloak and thick wintry garb, she knew those were basically pajamas for him!

“Thank you, Mother, but Father did not request I wear those. So, I opted for these.”

 “Very well then. Did you see your brother on the way here?” Cassinder spoke as Kaguya gave a quick look at her son and husband before returning to the steaming food in front of her. Her stomach growled loudly as she noticed Cassinder make a quick signal to the chefs, and exactly as she thought, more dishes appeared almost out of thin air and were set in front of Kaguya. A veritable feast for the Queen once again when compared to the puny portions laid out in front of the other chairs. Kaguya only blushed even darker at this as her stomach rumbled with hunger in preparation for the amount of food she was being told to eat silently by her Husband… or perhaps that rumbling was more gas on the way…

 “The squirt? Yes, Father. I debated dragging him, but Sirin said he would be on time. I did see Corrin on the way. She and Sigrun seemed to be having a spat about something. By how drenched Sigrun’s hair was, I assume she was still getting cleaned when Corrin dragged her out.” Arkyn stated matter-of-factly before pulling his seat forward. “Ah. Irina. Can you remove Euwen’s chair and plates? I dismissed him for the day so he could enjoy his private time with his family. Unlike the squirt, I am not glued to my retainer.” Arkyn smiled slightly after insulting his little brother as Cassinder sighed. Though Arkyn’s insult may have been aimed at his brother, it unintentionally hit his baby sister as well and Sigrun was almost always with Corrin.

“Arkyn. You are only giving yourself a headache when you try to antagonize your brother.” Cassinder spoke calmly as he looked at Kaguya and fought to keep down flirtatious words not quite suitable for the dinner table when he saw his gorgeous wife staring at him.

Arkyn, however, grinned even wider than before and gave a tiny husky laugh. “Father, did you just compare Isaac to a headache? I must agree if so.” Arkyn and a few servants all smiled as Cassinder glared at his eldest son… though he couldn’t really deny it.

“I…” Cassinder knit his brows as Arkyn gave him a small grin, with his head held high and pride in his eyes that he had not said or done a single thing wrong, Arkyn knew his Father wouldn’t actually scold his exemplar son.

As the servants continued piling food onto Kaguya’s area of the table, making her almost nervous and increasingly aroused as she realized this was several pounds of food more than yesterday already, the sound of hooves gently hitting the carpeted floors hit their ears as Cassinder, Kaguya, and the servants smiled warmly. Arkyn simply closed his eyes and relaxed as his baby sister and her retainer entered the room.

 Cassinder stood abruptly and rushed his daughter. Giving her a deep hug as she squeeled before a deep-

*UUUUUUUUUUUUUUURRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOORRRRRRRRRRPPPP*

Rang out in the hall. Blowing a few of the servant’s hair back with an icy wind as a sparkling blue fog filled the air and blasted past Cassinder. As the deep bellowing belch ended and the smell of blue honey filled the air, an adorably tinkling voice followed it on the verge of tears. Corrin pushed her father away from her without using much strength, a few tears already forming in her eyes as her hands turned to fists.

 “Papaaaaa! Don’t squeeze mee!!! And Mommy that- that didn’t count! Daddy squeezed my stomach and- and you know I can’t hold it when-“

 “It’s okay Snowbear. Sit down~” Kaguya laughed warmly as Corrin pouted and Cassinder tried apologizing to his baby girl who was not pouting at him and rubbing a belly several inches larger than Kaguya saw last. Corrin had changed her outfit to one that was still white, but much stretchier… was that one of Kaguya’s maternity dresses?

“Sweetie don’t be mad at Papa! I didn’t know! Where are those useless servants!? Why are you so bloated still-“ Cassinder was immediately torn between apologetic overbearing father, and furious Lord at the fact his beloved daughter was clearly bloating up with quite the amount of gas.

“No! I mean- Papa. Please. I can handle dinner, okay?” Corrin spoke, her gentle voice making all of them smile and nod as Cassinder pet her head instead of hugging her and returning to his seat. Irina rushed to pull out Corrin’s chair, but Sigrun’s glare of “Try it” made her stop in her tracks as Kaguya smirked and watched Sigrun pull out Corrin’s chair herself, letting her get seated with quite a bit of room for her belly before Sigrun laid down on her Imeri. Kaguya grinned mischievously as she saw Sigrun’s face relax quite a deal, though by the flush of her cheeks and the swishing of the Centauress’ tail, quite a few emotions were flowing through the fiery-haired retainer at once as Sigrun kept checking on Corrin’s face… and her belly.

(She’s such a worrywart. Good girl. Keep my Snowbear safe at all costs Sigrun. Though… who will keep you safe from her when she finally realizes those feelings you are showing to us all even now~?) Kaguya grinned evilly before noticing her love seemed quite distressed by his baby girl’s bloated belly. Kaguya sighed and silently cast a [Message], noticing Arkyn’s eyebrows move though his eyes stayed closed. Cassinder noticed as his eyes widened and he answered the [Message].

[My Virrate. Our Snowbear does not know how to count it seems, so her stomach is currently a bit upset. To avoid punishment, she promised she would eat her dinner with us without any fuss.]

[What? Not know how to- you let her have Snowcombs before Dinner? I see, my Love. I heard from Hvelte that there were casualties on her mission due to an ambush. Should I avoid bringing it up?] Cassinder looked at his darling wife as she gave a small nod.

[Oh my princess! I’ll wipe all those-]

[Watch your temper my love, you will scowl. Though it seems Arkyn already knows we are discussing in private~] Kaguya smiled. Cassinder hid the surprise from his face.

[He’s already learned soft tapping? The King’s lessons are quite rigorous. I’ll praise him later. But what about Corrin! What can I do honey?] Cassinder looked at their daughter as she rubbed her belly. The swirling orb growled and vibrated under her hands and swelled another inch, making her large breasts rise a bit more.

[Hmm-hm~ Relax. Be here. Eat dinner at a bit of a fast rate and let her go to her room when she finishes. Though if she has to wait for dinner to end… she may be here all night with how much food you have laid out for me!] Kaguya could no longer resist, and even though Isaac and Sirin had not arrived yet, she reached out and grabbed a steaming chop of Blackfur Sheep by the bone and bit into it. Making sure none of the juices escaped her mouth as she set it back down and looked at Cassinder, licking her lips seductively as she swallowed the thick fatty chop dripping in steaming butter and preserved to perfect temperature by [Warm Food]. Cassinder’s eyes widened as his face flushed looking at his gorgeous wife, and imaging how big she would be after eating all of tonight’s meals. Cassinder coughed away his arousal and made sure his daughter was doing fine, before sighing and nodding.

*Diiiiing Doooong Doooong Dooooong Doooong Doooong Dooooong*

 The great Bells of the Hour reverberated through the house as they were rung outside. Alerting everyone it was now 7 P.M. For many this signified dinner time, for the Bath Serpents and Shrouded Maidens, this was time to begin their nightly ceremonies. For the Earth Movers, this was the call that no more work was allowed if they were still in the depths of the Mines. For the Shields of the Wall, this was the call to change shifts. Though it had been dark for nearly two hours already,
