Interstellar Age

In perhaps what was the quickest conquest in the history of the Empire. The confederacy fell as quickly as the war had begun. No more than 24 standard Earth hours had passed before the banners of the Black Sun were waving across the world.

Bruno and Bianca were extracted, as were the other agents embedded on the planet. Like Bruno had said, Bianca was held for interrogation, and after confirming her identity, and her general stance on conventional Germanic morality. She was relinquished into Bruno's custody. fr(e)enovelkiss

Though she wasn't officially a slave, she was all but in name. Of course, this did not mean that Bruno mistreated the woman. Instead, he held a significant amount of affection for her. But there were more important things to worry about.

The Germanic Star-Empire reclaimed Earth. But they would not to be able to move their headquarters to the world for a very long time. First and foremost, the worlds many degenerate cities and monuments needed to be torn down. Everything would be reverted back to a natural state.

And once this was done, the GSE would work tirelessly to fortify the world to the standards which were required for a "Core World." Of course, Earth was not an Exclave, as the borders of the former Rylonian Imperium, which had by now been partially colonized by the Empire and its inhabitants, lay nearby the Confederacy.

In a bold display, Daelia had ceded the territory between those borders and those of the former Confederacy to the Empire so that there were no worries about Earth being isolated from the rest of the Empire.

Thus at the moment, Erich was at home, doing a laundry list of paperwork that was required to approve the plans for restoration of Earth. And the plans for the invasion of the Ghimderi Trade Union, which would soon take place.

Erich was feeling mentally exhausted. Tia had insisted on doing the work for him, but ultimately he had declined. After all, he really didn't do enough to fulfill his role as the Supreme Leader of the Empire. Instead, Tia handled pretty much his entire workload, while Erich fucked around for the most part.

After an extensive workload, Erich finally finished his paperwork, where he eventually returned to his residence which was just one story higher in the citadel. It was an exceptionally large penthouse, as it should be. After all its entire purpose was to house the Supreme Leader and what was expected to be an exceptionally large family.

The moment Erich walked through the door, he was greeted by his kids. All of which welcomed their father back from work with broad smiles on their faces. Erich played with them for a bit, but he was incredibly wary of something which he knew he could not avoid.

Ever since Lunaria and Daelia began living with him full time, Erich's home life had been in a state of.... Turmoil. Both women acted as if they were the Queens of the harem, and were commonly fighting among each other. While Erika, Ayumi, and S'aleth were left to seethe in silence.

Then there were the two princesses. Sinaria and Celestia felt incredibly guilty for the trouble their mother caused, and would commonly do the house work in recompense. The atmosphere was as if the two women were forced to prostrate themselves before Erich every time he returned to the mess that was his home.

And today was no different. The moment after Erich handed his kids off to their mothers, he was accosted by Sinaria and Celestia, both of which did not know how to really treat their new stepfather.

After all, Erich was considerably younger than the two of them, and yet their mothers who were ancient beyond belief had seemingly fallen for the man. They themselves were curious what black magic Erich had cast on their mothers, but were more concerned with mopping up the mess of the two women who had once ruled the galaxy.

Because of this, Celestia and Sinaria both bowed their heads to Erich and apologized for their mothers' misbehavior the first moment they were able to do so.

"We are sorry! We tried to control our mothers, but they... They seem to be in a heated state again. I think they pissed off your other... Wives.... By insinuating that the two of them should be the ones sleeping in your bed every night. Instead of taking turns.

And then that devolved into an argument about which one of them got to sleep on your right side, and which got to sleep on your left. I fear if it was not for the sturdy material which your people built this tower out of, then they may have destroyed your home in their fight by now..."

Erich sighed heavily, and scratched the back of his neck, he was already exhausted, and now he had to come back home to a major cat fight, again... He told his two new step-daughters that there was nothing they should be sorry about, and instead apologized to them.

"I'm sorry the two of you feel the need to apologize on behalf of your mothers. You would think that two women as ancient as them would be mature enough to properly sit down and debate their issues like a rational being.

But then again, if they were capable of that, I don't believe there would have been the discord between their two civilizations over the past few millions of years. Alright, I'll go handle this. I thank you both for your efforts to restrain their more violent natures."

Erich then walked off to go search for his two most errant wives and put an end to their beef. At least for the remainder of the day. Once he walked away, Sinaria and Celestia sighed. The two women had actually grown quite fond of one another.

After all, they shared essentially the same roles in their respective civilizations, and as much as Lunaria and Daelia might fight, they had very similar personalities. Because of this, they both felt a bond towards one another, a bond built through an understanding of each other's burdens. Which they had been forced to carry for the entirety of their adult lives.

Thus Celestia spoke to Sinaria as if they were actually sisters, questioning how they would effectively apologize for their mothers' behaviors this time around. fr eenovelkiss.com

"I swear that man has the patience of a saint. I mean, can you think of any other man in the galaxy who would be able to put up with our mothers' shit?"

Sinaria scoffed and shook her head, before commenting on her thoughts on the matter.

"I think he is the only one who has the ability to handle those two... You think that is why we are in our current predicament? I'm starting to run out of ways to apologize to him... It's a pity that he is wasted on our mothers."

Celestia eyed Sinaria carefully after hearing the woman's last remark. She bit her lip in frustration, before asking for clarification on what she believed was obviously a misunderstanding.

"Wait a second... Sinaria, don't tell me that you have also-"

Sinaria knew exactly what Celestia was going to ask, and raised her brow in shock, the two step sisters immediately coming to an understanding about each others developing feelings for Erich. When they realized this, they both broke out into a fit of laughter.

"Oh, my... I believe we might have fallen under the same spell as our mothers.... What are we ever going to do about this?"

When Sinaria said this Celestia remained quiet for some time. Like in her previous life, she had come up with the same exact plan to ensnare Erich for herself. The only problem is, until now she had never dared to say it.

And though Sinaria's hair color was different from her mothers, hers being blonde, while Daelia's was snow white. This was nothing that some dye couldn't fix. Because of this, Celestia leaned in and whispered into Sinaria's ear, shocking the young woman as she did so.

There was no verbal response from the Dark Elven beauty, instead she silently nodded her head, while conveying with her eyes she was all in on this plan. As for Erich, he had already suspected that Celestia might try something in this new timeline like she had done in the last one, and was on guard against it.

After all, he may have been able to convince Lunaria to accept such a taboo relationship in his past life. But things were already strained enough without Celestia and Sinaria adding fuel to the fire. And he would not the allow the two princesses to ensnare him like Celestia had done in his past life.

Or so was his plan, but Erich's largest weakness was beautiful women, and there were ways that the two stepsisters could use to coerce their new stepfather into doing what they wanted. Thus, as much as Erich would be on guard, he would genuinely need Tia to protect him.

Unfortunately for Erich, Tia was still mad at him for taking so many other lovers. And would not protect the man from the conspiracy that was being made against him. After all, he needed to learn a lesson about being careful who he became intimate with, and what better way than the drama that would unfold should Celestia and Sinaria's scheme prove successful?
