Chapter 1155: Tyche, the Goddess of Luck. 2
[Continue, don’t mind my presence here.] Victor spoke.
If Victor so wished, no one would be able to see him. In fact, if he didn’t allow it, no mortal would be capable of understanding what they were looking at when they saw Victor, as he had become a being completely outside common sense.
If he didn’t control his presence, appearing in front of a mortal would only make that same mortal explode, or die from information overload. It was like a being from a higher dimension visiting a being from a lower dimension, and this effect would be even more horrible if Victor and his daughter Yog-Sothoth were in their Eldritch form. The same fact applied to his wives and his daughters, as all of them were beyond common sense.
Although Tyche wasn’t exactly weak, she was the being closest to a primordial of luck in the universe, and therefore, she should also fit into this category. However, she still wasn’t as absurd as a True Dragon. This lineage was simply extremely compatible with existence as a whole. Using numbers as an example: if Tyche’s existence now were a level 10 being, a True Dragon God with her power would be 11, just like Aphrodite, Anna, and Scathach.
Like most of Victor’s wives and some of his more abnormal daughters, such as Kassandra and her mother Kali, all his daughters eventually reached this level, as they all had enormous powers. The most absurd beings, such as Victor, Jeanne, Azathoth, and Yog-Sothoth, Victor’s and Azathoth’s daughter, are the equivalent of number 12 in terms of existence.
Victor predicts that the next level, 13, would be where the primordials are, and level 14 would be the level of the creator, but these numbers mean nothing. They’re just a way to explain, in numerical terms, how absurd his existence is now. Despite the difference being only one number, the distance between the two is like heaven and earth.
"Tyche, you know why I’m here, right?"
"... I wouldn’t be presumptuous enough to try to understand the Empress’s movements." First rule to survive in an Empire of Gods: stroke the Empress’s ego. At least this worked with Hera, but she was stupid and had a horn that was creating its own cosmos in her head, a horn given by her own husband. Violet wasn’t stupid, but even so, it was better not to be too arrogant and to stroke her ego a little.
"..." Violet’s smile froze a little. This conversation wasn’t going according to her plan, ’she’s very humble!’ Violet thought.
[Don’t use your powers to see the future.] Victor spoke with a smile on his face, visibly entertained.
[Tsk.] Violet restrained herself from pouting. If her cat-and-mouse games didn’t work, she decided to be completely honest as she assumed a serious posture.
"Tyche, I came here to say that you should get pregnant and give me a daughter."
"...."
[You were too honest! Look at her; she’s getting paler and paler.] Victor slapped his hand over his face.
[Damn it, that’s not what I wanted to say! Actually, it was that, but it wasn’t what I should say!] Violet panicked a little.
"W-Well, if the Empress orders." Her voice faltered, but soon she assumed a strong posture: "Although I don’t enjoy games between women, for the Empire I will do my best." In the end, her voice was practically almost dead.
"That’s not it! I mean, it is, but it’s not that! I came here to say that you should become Victor’s wife."
"Umu, that’s it!" She nodded, satisfied.
"... Ah, that’s it." Tyche sighed, visibly relieved. She was Greek, but unlike her more uninhibited relatives, she was very normal. Thank you very much, as she very much preferred men.
"That’s it? Just that? You don’t seem very surprised."
"Please, Lady Violet, I know my limitations. In this Empire, if I want to maintain my power as it is now, I can only be the Emperor’s wife. That’s why I didn’t accept the proposals of other men. I’m not stupid." Tyche was completely honest. Now that she was going to become the Emperor’s wife, she should develop her relationship with the Empress. In any harem, there are factions, and the safest faction to be in was the Empress’s faction, or the women who had been with the Emperor since the beginning.
’If I’m not mistaken, the names of the closest women are: Lady Anna: the Empress of internal affairs, who will replace Violet if she is unavailable, Lady Leona: his childhood friend, Lady Kaguya: Violet’s Maid, Lady Ruby: the leader of the scientific side along with Lady Aline and Lady Velnorah, and Sasha: in charge of the police of the entire Empire. There is also Lady Scathach... But she is very scary.’ Tyche shuddered when she remembered Scathach, she decided to play it safe, stay close to Violet and be friendly with everyone, it was the best way to understand the dynamics of the factions.
’Ah, my head hurts. I don’t like this, can’t I just remain like Lady Hestia?’ She sighed internally with laziness.
Victor, who was seeing all this, only smiled in amusement, as she reminded him of a very lazy but competent Pepper. For now, he decided to just be an observer, but if she was stressing herself over nothing, he would talk to her about it.
There were actually no factions in his harem, as Victor completely prohibited it. They were family, not a bunch of monkeys fighting over power. There were familiarities or cliques: some women got along better with someone who had the same vibe as them, but that was it. In general, they all respected and played with each other, and any friction they had would be resolved in battle, and if the friction was greater, Victor would intervene and punish both.
’Although I don’t think it will be necessary, she is very rational and intelligent, and as soon as she interacts with the others and my daughters, she will understand... My daughters, shit.’ Victor became a little pale when he forgot this small detail. Adding a wife now was a bad idea, after all, his daughters were very unbalanced due to Ophis and Nero’s recent conquests.
"... You are very rational." Violet felt a strange sensation, almost as if she were seeing a rare species. Where did this completely rational goddess who understands things come from? If most gods were like her, there would be no war.
"If I weren’t like this, I wouldn’t have survived the Greek pantheon." She spoke very seriously.
"... Fair." Violet nodded. She quickly made a temporary contract of absolute secrecy with the sensitive information she had learned, a contract similar to the one Albedo, Dun Scaith, Hela, and Ariel had. This contract would be erased when she made a soul marriage with Victor.
Taking the contract, Tyche read it, and it only had one sentence: You will not reveal anything you learn about the Emperor, his family, and everything related to him to anyone who is not a member of the family with the surname.......
When she tried to read the last part, she felt a terrible headache and quickly stopped reading. "What is that?"
"Eldritch language. You will understand later." Violet smiled.
What was written was the name Elderblood, only in Eldritch letters. After all, this surname is unique in the Empire, and only the royal family can use it. It’s not that no one tried to use it in secret, but that there was an order written in reality with Victor’s Eldritch power that only those he recognized would have this surname. This was one of his ways of protecting the family. After reading it again, she hesitated for a few seconds, but soon signed the contract. And as soon as she signed, she received several basic pieces of information about the Emperor’s family, information that was known by very few people.
"42 wives counting me..."
"Actually, it’s 47 if you consider that Ophis, Nero, Metis, Melida, and Akasha became his wives. Each of us had only one daughter, and if you consider that Ophis, Nero, Metis, Melida, and Akasha will also have only one daughter, and that each of these daughters will become a wife, in total he will have 94 wives."
It’s not that the Dragon Goddesses couldn’t have more than one child, it’s just that one daughter was already enough to occupy the entire biology of a Dragon. If the mother had two daughters at the same time, she wouldn’t even be able to get out of bed due to the energy expenditure to nourish both.
If it weren’t for Victor being a Progenitor, he wouldn’t even be able to have children so easily, as his level of power prevents him from doing so. After all, everyone knows that the stronger a being is, the more difficult it is to reproduce.
Tyche swallowed hard: "... That is very-"
"That is true, it is a little small. Solomon had 700 wives and 300 concubines. And he was a human king! As a God Emperor, he should have an entire court of 77 thousand wives, but we go for quality and not quantity. Now that we have enough numbers, we will just fill this court with the daughters of these wives, who will eventually have other daughters, and so on! He will be a true father of all!"
Tyche felt her lips twitch now. This is little? Woman, that is a lot! And you want another 77 thousand!? Are you crazy! And filling a royal court only with daughters who became wives? This isn’t a family tree; it’s an entire circle!!!
Not that she has a problem with this, considering she is also a goddess. Such morality is a human thing, and she doesn’t even care about that. What shocks her is the number Violet wants.
"There are many women who deserve to have Darling’s love, for example, Eleonor’s Valkyries, some Maids from my household, and eventually they will all become my sisters. I will make sure of that." Violet’s eyes were pure... Pure like a violet black hole. Tyche only realized now what kind of hole she had gotten herself into, and regret hit like a truck.
She raised her hand like a good student: "... Hmm, can I give up?"
"No."
"Fuck." She couldn’t control herself.
"Eventually. You will receive it, and you will love it." Violet smiled mischievously.
"... Ugh."
[So that was what you were planning.]
Violet stiffened. She had completely forgotten that Victor was there!
"D-Darling."
"Let’s talk about limits, my beloved wife. I guarantee you: it will be an interesting conversation." Victor’s smile did not reach his eyes.
Even for Victor, 77 thousand wives are too many. Even if time were literally his wife, and he had all the time in the world, it would still be too much.
