The Rise of the Black Plain

When Dillian's words finished leaving his throat, the worried expressions in the surroundings turned into smiles.

On the other hand, Abby and Ruth, standing right next to Minos and Gloria, almost fell to the ground upon hearing this information.

"Excuse me?" Abby asked Dillian as she felt a lump in her throat.

Dillian saw that Minos had a lost look on his face and said the information differently. "Your Grace, Gloria Frost, is pregnant."

Gulp!

Minos smiled and took his eyes off Dillian to lovingly bring Gloria's face closer to his own and kiss her on the forehead.

Meanwhile, Abby and Ruth stood open-mouthed, both shocked that something like this had happened to Gloria before them.

'How?' Abby wondered, feeling a mixture of happiness and injustice in her heart. 'Minos and I have been trying for years... So why did she stay by his side only a few weeks and already get pregnant? Why?'

Ruth, who was usually reserved about Minos, also felt strange about this.

She was happy that Minos' child was on the way. It was no different for Abby. But it was undeniable that she would rather be the mother of her husband's first child. 'Is there something wrong with me? Why is Gloria so lucky?'

Meanwhile, in that area, the many soldiers there happily hugged each other, barely remembering their hard battle.

"Haha, we will finally have a prince or a princess!"

"The heavens truly bless the Black Plain! Only four years of existence, and we will already have an heir!"

"Hehehe, I can't wait to see His Grace's children coming to study under my department..."

Whispered comments spread around as Dillian used some techniques to improve Gloria's tired condition.

All the while, Minos stood silently watching his woman's beautiful face, imagining this new reality he had encountered upon returning from the battlefield.

'Don't tell me this happened right after she returned? Was it that day?' He pondered this since only when he had a foursome with his wives had he not destroyed his gametes with Gloria.

He and Gloria had not yet talked about having children, so naturally, when he was alone with her, he did that. However, on that day in question, as well as the other three times they had experiences like that with his wives, Minos never prevented himself.

Why did he do this? Simply because he wanted to get Abby and Ruth pregnant, and because he thought Gloria was protecting herself, he had not bothered to get her pregnant accidentally.

But little did he know that she never protected herself and, in fact, had gotten pregnant the day she had the first foursome of her life!

Minos then thought about how Gloria seemed to be getting more beautiful and was getting more and more gentle and loving with him. 'So that was why...' He smiled just before carrying Gloria back home alongside Ruth and Abby.

...

After they got home, Abby and Ruth tried to ignore the world's injustice and helped clean Gloria's body and put her to bed before taking a shower with their husband.

When they finished doing that, they did nothing and returned to their room, where Gloria slept peacefully.

"Minos..." Abby said her husband's name, not understanding why not her.

Minos readily understood the problem and brought his two wives into his embrace, petting their heads as he felt them hiding their faces in his chest.

"There's nothing wrong with you two. It just happened that Gloria got pregnant before you did by a great fluke of fate. We really can't control this kind of thing." He said to both of them, hearing their sobs.

"But..." Ruth tried to say, but her voice choked with her confused feelings.

"Shh!"

"This child will not only be mine and Gloria's. You will also be a mother to this baby. So, don't be like that. Just treat it as Gloria's turn, but sooner or later, it will happen to you too." He softly said to the two.

"You can't be sure of that..." Abby commented in a pitying tone.

He then joked with them. "Of course I do. We do it so much that it's impossible for it not to happen."

Upon hearing such a thing, the two laughed amidst their tears, feeling that this might be true.

"If how much we already do is not enough, then we will do even more. We can do so!"

"Hmmm." The two buried their faces in his chest again, hugging him tightly as if they were afraid of losing him.

As they stood there, 10 minutes passed, and Gloria finally showed signs that she was waking up.

Upon realizing this, Minos and his wives went to the large bed in their room, with the two of them climbing up and sitting there on Gloria's right side and him on her left side.

"Gloria?" Minos leaned over, getting his face close to hers as he used one of his hands to play with her hair.

As she slowly opened her eyes, momentarily blinking a lot to get used to the brightness of her surroundings, Gloria looked at Minos and asked. "What happened? We're at headquarters and..."

She then paused her speech as she remembered what had happened and realized it was time to discuss her suspicions. "I... Minos, I think we're going to have a baby..."

She had not yet sought a doctor to check her situation. Still, considering that her period had already been late for a few weeks, this woman was already suspicious about her pregnancy.

"Hmm, I know. Dillian told me." Minos smiled at her, massaging one of her cheeks.

Hearing this confirmation, she happily smiled as tears trickled from her eyes. "Minos... I am so happy. You don't know how important having a child with you is to me..."

She tried to get up to hug him but did not feel the strength to do so. Minos then got under the sheets covering this woman and hugged her. "I know. I'm happy too, dear..."

Feeling her man's body, Gloria felt perfect at the moment, hugging and smelling him just before finding his lips and kissing him with as much love as she had ever felt.

"Mmmmmmm~"

After doing this for a few moments, Gloria remembered that there were other people in the world besides Minos and turned her face to those two on her other side.

"Gloria..." Ruth looked at her momentarily and said. "Congratulations on being the first to get pregnant. In the future, you can rely on whatever you need from me. I will raise this child as if it were my own."

Abby said similar words. "You don't have to worry about fighting with us for Minos or dealing with the pregnancy alone. We are your sisters now, and we will raise our man's children in harmony."

"Ruth, Abby..." She felt good before the two got into those sheets and hugged her, generating a pleasant little warmth.

After the three of them shed a few more tears, Ruth suggested. "Gloria, now that you are pregnant with Minos, I feel it is unfair for you to sleep in another room..."

"If you want, you can have my place."

"What? But what about you?" Gloria asked.

Before Ruth or even Abby could say anything, Minos interrupted them and answered Gloria. "There's no need for you to worry about that. We will all sleep together."

"How?" Ruth asked in doubt.

"I can hold two of you, and the third one sleeps on top of me..." He suggested the only alternative where they could exchange body heat without either of them having to sleep alone.

"Oh?" Abby's eyes sharpened with a particular thought concerning that. "Then there won't be room for a fourth, eh?"

The other two women looked at each other and understood Abby's comment.

Ruth then said. "Well then, Minos Stuart, we will all sleep together. But, none of us will make room for another woman in the future!"

Gloria nodded and smiled at the man hugging her. "We will not accept sleeping away from you, so get used to having only three wives. We won't accept a fourth since there is no room for her!"

"Huh?" Minos looked into his women's eyes in doubt of what was going on there.
