Inheritor Of Magic: The Magi King

Chapter 921 921 Auction Day

Once the party was over, and everyone was headed home, the witches had one last task for the evening. That was to set up Duke Roth and his consorts, who had gathered for the party, with the potions that they would need to ensure that the young Duchess to be did not have to be forced into marriage just to obtain an heir.

She had managed to avoid giving out her Family name all night, which was easy enough, as nobody recognized her, and therefore assumed that she was just a friendly visiting Noble. For the younger children of the other Families, that meant that a few would consider looking into her background for personal reasons, but most of them would just try to remember her first name in case they saw her at another function.

The potions took most of an hour to brew, so they were ready later in the evening, after Stephanie had managed to sneak away and get the work done, while also preparing a few other essentials, such as minor healing potions and stamina potions to go with the fertility spells.

She had decided to maximize the chances by making both sides of the potion combo, for both the Duke and his concubines, as she wasn't certain which of them had the actual issue, due to lack of medical diagnosis. But when created at a Rank Three strength, they would overcome almost all contraceptive curses that might be active here. So, as long as they weren't actively taking a toxin to prevent pregnancy, the Duke should be ready to welcome heirs quite soon.

She placed the potions into the common area of the rooms that were assigned, as the Duke had too many women to have them all share one bed, and Wolfe led them in.

"Duke Roth, I would like for you to take this potion, and then this one. Ladies, you will find a tray full of pink potions. If each of you could, please drink one, it will cleanse your body and prepare you for motherhood."

The cleansing would actually be done by Stephanie as they took the fertility potions, but it was the same effect in the end.

[They're all clean. No attempts to sabotage him, but it looks like the Duke was naturally firing blanks. The healing might have fixed that on its own, but the potions definitely will. We will know in the morning.] Stephanie informed Wolfe as the last of the group took the potions, and their cheeks started to blush as the effects took hold.

"Alright, it is done, and I will see you all for lunch tomorrow. The Ladies with me know a spell that will tell you if the seed has taken hold." Wolfe informed them, then picked up Stephanie and left, soundproofing the room before the chaos started.

That many Rank three aphrodisiacs and fertility spells in one spot was going to be wild. One stamina potion might not be enough.

Stephanie decided that she was going to return to the hotel for the evening, taking Molly with her, but leaving Wolfe with Cassie and Ella. The decision was purely tactical on her part, as the Familiar Cat wanted to cuddle the beastkin, also known as using her lap as a nap spot in cat form all day, and that wasn't going to work out with Wolfe and the Witches constantly keeping strange hours and having commitments.

Everyone else turned in for the night, and the next day the butler prepared a brunch meal, as the Duke's party had requested an early lunch, after being preoccupied through breakfast. They would end up sleeping the whole day away once they were home after that all-nighter, but they were also eager to find out the good news directly from Cassie, who was posing as their expert on fertility magic, though any of the witches could do it well enough.

The newlyweds had both breakfast and lunch sent to their rooms, and none present could blame them for taking the day to themselves, even as the other Nobles gathered for lunch.

Cassie cast a detection spell on the Duke and his consorts, then cast an annoyed look at Stephanie before turning it into a smile for the formerly barren Noble Family.

"I have good news and not so good news. Which one do you want first?" She asked.

"Give me the bad news first." The Duke sighed, already resigned to his fate.

"You picked entirely too many slender and lovely young ladies as consorts. Their bodies are not well suited to multiple childbirths."

The Duke sighed. "Unfortunate, but you said that there is good news?"

Cassie nodded and smiled. "That means they're going to need a good midwife because all of them are pregnant, and the lovely Lady with the ginger curls is carrying twins. It's too early to tell whether they will be boys or girls, but given the odds, I would say that you should have a son by the end of the year, and then likely more to follow.

The potion that you were given takes some time to wear off, so it is possible that if you are not careful, you might end up with more children right after the first set are born."

Wolfe smiled at the shocked Duke. "I will have the Ladies make you some healing potions as a celebratory gift. They will help if things go wrong at the end."

The talk of the morning turned to baby names. They were going to need countless baby names that sounded good with the Family name Ara, as the children were all conceived the first night, and none of the consorts knew which would be the Directly support the authors on WebNovel!

It would never do to give the next Duke an embarrassing name.

night, and none of the consorts knew which would be the firstborn male heir.

With so much excitement, it was difficult to even understand the joyous farewells as they left for the day to get some actual sleep while the good news spread, and the house finally fell into silence once again.

After two days of relaxation, where the two groups of highly amorous couples didn't leave their suite except for one final meal before they reluctantly answered Count Ara's summons back to the estate, it was time for Wolfe and company to start preparing for the Auction.

All that was left was a meeting with the Auction House to find out who had box seats and who didn't so that they could politely invite someone with suitable amounts of money to bid. As Molly was taking on the role of Wolfe's servant for the trip, and Stephanie preferred to remain a cat, that left only four seats occupied, once the Countess Dewinter was brought along.

With her in their group, it wouldn't be difficult to find Nobles willing to join them, it was just a matter of which ones.
