Nobody looked up from the story Serena was telling. We walk over and sit down in a massive living area with several couches and chairs, sitting next to Nora and pull her in. Okay, not as plush as I thought they would be, the furniture looks amazing but this couch is stiff.
"She's talking about the first time she met the elves when they came to visit during her time as queen. They pushed the banking system across all of the realms," Nora whispers.
I'd read a dozen books on that topic and if it was a good thing or a bad thing as the less populated realms lost quite a bit of their value in currency. The Inquisition was supposed to prevent things like that, but they were dependent on the rich as they only received money from the richest families to train their children with no taxes in return. Serena was talking about how they talked openly about how the Elven way was the only way.
"Many lost more than half of their value." Serena said and Abi holds up her hand.
"What would you have done?" Abi asks and looks over at me.
"I'd have given each realm the same amount of currency. We preach that each realm should be equal, no realm above another, no alliances allowed, but you saw the two that received the most currency immediately work together, took on the third, then bullied the inquisition and they came after us last as the smallest of the four, The entire council was bought in because they were paid much more from them than us, so they had every incentive to allow it.
"Is it still that way?" Catalina asked.
"Up until you stopped it, it is still the reason why the Inquisition can not function long term. No offense," Serena looked over at me, "This will only hold short term, twenty years a most before it starts all over again. That got way too serious, listen to me, I was just going to mention the Elves were hear since we are going to see them."
"How do we fix that? Abi looks over at Nora.
"Serena, would you like to come to work with me tomorrow? We are going to introduce this as a systemic problem. We should probably address this before we lose the people that would listen." Nora replies without lifting her head out of my lap as I rub her shoulders.
"Wait, I was;" Serena looks around the table and then smiles, "I got roped into one of your crazy stories, that didn't take long." She smiles bigger. "Ha, crazy."
"Isn't it though?" Denae answers, "I felt the same way when James did the same thing to me, the next couple of days could be busy for you Mom." Denae laughs.
Back at the house, the beds reappeared in the common room and Nora said we needed to hurry as she had to get up early tomorrow with the time difference.
"Wait, why are we getting kicked out of the room?" I ask and Nora stops.
"That is a good point, I love you and all, but Mazarine doesn't kick in her sleep."
"I kick in my sleep?" I ask and get everyone saying yes.
"More like flop around from side to side." Cat says and Neivia laughs.
"Yes, that also."
"Nevermind, I'm not sure I want to sleep here anymore," I say as Nora makes another bed and pulls me down into it. "Ha, like your the victim; leg kicker." she replies crawling on top.
"Don't listen to them James," Mazarine says and I nod back to her for helping me out here.
Nora is pulling my clothes off, jostling me around. "Would you like to wait until tomorrow so you can sleep?"
"Nobody gets to sleep while this is going on, we can feel it in the bond, lift. your.hips." Nora grunts and pulls my pants down and off. "Ahh, much better." She scoots up, and starts laughing with the look on my face.
"Oh shush, I've been patient long enough."
"We could have just made them disappear?"
"Oh yeah, was caught up in the moment." Nora smiles and slides up my stomach like a snake, reaches under and slides me in after a kiss.
"Oh, just like that huh." I whisper and groan.
"Mmhmm, if I have to persuade Velho to give money away, I'm going to need motivation."
"If you can do that, we'll all take care of you." Reaching down I pull her up for another kiss and start pushing into her fast holding her in place.
"Mmmmmmphm." She hmmms and haws into my mouth, she loves getting held still with a fast pace, has to be the hardest woman to please out of everyone, and takes the longest unless ganged up on.
"Don't slow down," Nora says the moment I take a break and go a bit slower. Well, I guess since I have no appointments tomorrow I can get the workout now, picking the pace back up again. Putting so much into hammering her out, I can only focus on making myself breathe until she gets quiet and holds her breath through an orgasm and pushes it back out in a whoosh.
"Hooahh, goodness," she goes back to sliding up and down, undulating her hips and just grinding slowly. "I knew you were special the first day I met you, but this, this, never crossed my mind." Leaning down, "You know how many times I've imagined us in the Library?" She bites my earlobe. "That's what I want."
"Anytime, anywhere love, that sounds a bit naughty though."
"That's the point." I get an eye roll from Nora of all people, that's new.
"Okay then."
The next morning we were called to Tahareesa's. Serena and Nora went to Velho,
"Good morning, Tahareesa." The ladies say in almost unison, I follow it up and we take a seat at the table, it was lunch time here, but we just finished breakfast so even I passed on that offer.
"You seem worried?" I ask as she replies and sits at the table.
"Mother sent messengers over the last week, we have three allies and two that stand against."
"Against what?" I have my suspicion based on how she was leaning, normally, she was always upright and graceful.
"Everything, many are two or three generations from the founding, most have never met Ian and like the twenty or so generations of humans, have no idea who he is or was."
"So? They don't want to allow the humans in, or do anything about this, not believing it will happen." I ask and get a nod from her. "Queen Hollis was saying the same thing about many of her people. As long as we get them to the right places, if nothing happens, we've lost nothing, and if something does happen, we can stop it. With the rings, nobody is going to be staying more than a few hours at a time."
"That is what is keeping this going, but Traeliorn Carnorin of the Sea faction is also against what they fear, your existence."
