Elizabeth's return was met with... Sleep.

As soon as she crossed the threshold, it was as if all her fatigue from the previous six (Almost seven) days was shoved into her face in one go. What she noticed was that neither Aura nor Mira seemed worried, as if they hadn't had enough time to really ponder about Elizabeth's disappearance.

But Elizabeth didn't have the mental strength to worry about that, for as soon as her body crossed the threshold of the portal, she felt it close behind her. And with all the mental strength she could muster, she fainted.

One may think, 'Fainting doesn't require mental strength', But they would be wrong, to faint with style you needed to think about where to fall, what position to attempt, and where you would hit your head.

Hit the floor at the wrong angle and you may just not wake up again, not that Elizabeth worried about those minutiae, instead she spent the scant mental power she had to command her Shadows to take care of her.

The shadows felt sluggish in the answer, but Elizabeth didn't think about that; instead, she merely closed her eyes and dreamt. She dreamt about a nascent civilization growing, about their victories and defeats. About how they moved as a culture and how they worshiped the night, the moon high in the sky, and how while they worshiped sin, they didn't indulge in Debauchery. A stark contrast for a culture whose patron goddess was the Mistress of Sin.

--------------------------------------------------------

"What do you think?" Aura said as she watched Elizabeth faint as soon as she crossed the portal back.

It was barely half a second in and she was already coming out, Aura didn't even have time to bother the time girl.

"She did it, but I fear the time compression is higher than I expected," the blue-haired girl said, ignoring their fallen Mistress.

Elizabeth had commanded the Shadows as she fell to make a fluffy-looking bedding for her. How had she done that? Aura had no idea, as far as she had gotten from the theory about what they did, Elizabeth should be blocked from most of the power she got from Terra Nexus.

That meant that most of the assistance from the Shadow Dragons was gone.

And yet... The shadows still answered to her call, meaning... Elizabeth's power over the shadows was not a secondary effect from her domain over the Shadow Dragons.

"How bad is it?" Aura asked teleporting Elizabeth back to...the bed, what that woman had done to that bed... In that bed...

Aura shuddered at the things Elizabeth got around in that... thing. She would be sleeping on sofas and the floor for the foreseeable future, and this was one of the reasons she welcomed the loss of power and Authority, thanks to that she had been able to not see.

The footage had been cut when Elizabeth started playing seriously with tails, both hers and Rossaline's.

*Shudder*

"At least a couple of millennia," Miracle answered, "At the minimum, at the worst... well, they may break the containment by trying to leave the solar system. It was a good idea to spread the effect to the whole solar system."

"Thank you, thank you." Aura said, doing a mock bow at Miracle, the girl... really got on her nerves for some reason. Aura wasn't sure if it was the fact that her birth had been in the same style that Elizabeth's own rebirth, or the fact that the girl was nonchalant about it.

Perhaps... It was because there was no penalty or danger from outright hating her? Unlike with Elizabeth.

"... You are creeping me out, what's the deal with the good manners?" Miracle said, hugging herself and stepping back, now that the portal didn't need maintenance, they could finally let go of that thread of Space/Time Mana.

"I have been thinking, why do you piss me off so much?" Aura answered honestly, "I think that it's because you give us flat-chested peeps a bad name."

"I AM NOT FLAT!" Miracle screamed back covering her... inexistent chest.

"You will wake Eli-Eli, shut it!" The sudden scream came backed by a wave of power.

"Morning Lady Rossaline," Aura said pretending that the wave of power didn't affect her, it did, badly. She missed her omnipotence already.

"...Oh... I am... clothed?" Rossaline said looking at herself, then peeking under her blouse she added, "And I am wearing underwear!"

"Ugh....Rossie... shh.... Eli will notice we have energy..." Rena also chose this moment to wake up.

Was it her survival instinct? The fact that they both recovered their wits when Elizabeth just fainted? Aura couldn't help but giggle at that.

"Mistress is currently sleeping, she is tired, but this isn't enough to rouse her from her sleep." Aura said helpfully, pointing behind both girls, where Elizabeth had been teleported.

Away from... the mysterious fluids and in a part of the King Size (Extended King Size with spatial magic) and in a soft spot of comfortable bedding and a blanket.

"... I will have nightmares about those fingers..." Rossaline said shuddering, and then blushing she added, "Do you think... she will do this again?"

"...We can ask... after the wedding..." Rena said also blushing, these couple freaks....

Unauthorized tale usage: if you spot this story on Amazon, report the violation.

"What happened?" Rossaline said turning to Aura and Miracle, "Since you both are here... Did Elizabeth ask for a time extended barrier and that is why she could do all of that... for so long?"

Aura smirked at the glare that Rossaline was sending her way, she needed to keep the aloof persona, even if both could probably kill her without problems.

"Not really," Aura answered, "We had a crisis in Terra Nexus, so we sealed it, and Mistress needed to do the finishing touches."

"There is... a barrier within this room, but the time lapse isn't that strong, most of the barriers were broken down as a new, more powerful one was put midway through your..." Miracle couldn't finish speaking as her face turned red like a stop sign.

"Mistress set up a new barrier using her newly finished Heart," Aura said finishing the phrase, "That broke most of the barriers she previously set, and the ones we made. We couldn't affect it, so you lost the extra time we had. Luckily, we had a few delays from some dignitaries; it seems they decided to spend some time searching for the newly appointed S-Tier..."

And really, that was hilarious.

"So while Mistress and you two messed around, the world was burning, we will need to wake up Mistress in less than a week, as the wedding can't be delayed longer than that." Aura then turned to both girls who seemed to wonder if Elizabeth would really sleep for that long, "Mistress is a Dragon as you both now are painfully aware, they have great stamina, but they also sleep for that long."

"...And Mistress had to work a whole week within the time barrier of Terra Nexus, so she may be tired." Miracle jumped in afterwards, "We can try to set up a new barrier to give you more time..."

"But more likely than not it will fail," Aura said from the side, "Teleporting her from the floor to the bed burned almost all my mana, I have no idea if a time slowing barrier would even work on Mistress..."

"But it worked in Terra Nexus." Rena pointed out.

"That was different, that was an effect on the whole solar system fueled by the same divinity that Mistress wielded, and she consciously accepted it." Miracle answered instead of Aura, "In this case, it would focus solely on her, and she is unable to accept it."

"So it will be on you to wake her up, perhaps sprinkle her face or tickle her?" Aura said in a knowing tone.

"Mistress is not a cat, sprinkling water on her will not wake her up," Miracle pointed from the side.

"I never said anything about water." Aura said laughing as she walked toward the door, "Either way, congratulations on popping the cherry with Mistress... Your dreams came true today... or your Nightmares if the screaming we heard before the barrier settled are something to go by."

And laughing like a madman Aura teleported away.

She would probably get an earful later... or not, depending on how strong the afterglow from what Elizabeth had done to those girls was, Aura found it hilarious that Lust had lost to Debauchery.

But then again, one was limited and the other included and superseded everything else.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

"ALLASDKFHDFGASDFLKASDHGF I AM AWAKE!" Elizabeth screamed as she jumped straight up, hitting her head against the ceiling and wincing as... she didn't quite hurt, but the feeling of being hurt or that she should be hurt was strong, so she mimicked the movements and sounds of being hurt.

"Morning Eli-Eli," Rossie waved at her from the sofa, on the other side of the room, sitting beside Rena.

"Morning Eli, how are you feeling?" Rena said afterwards.

"Great," Elizabeth answered in a single word, "Better than ever, light as a feather and strong as never before, my heart feels as if the weight of the whole world was suddenly lifted from my shoulders."

And Elizabeth was not joking, she had never felt this well before, was that why all those magazines said that the first week of a wedding was spent enjoying the afterglow and in the bedroom?

Elizabeth could understand it now.

"Do you have anything to say to us?" Rossie said arching her eyebrow at her, Rossie was...not wearing the cute mini skirt that Elizabeth had put on her.

Rena was wearing one of her pants instead of the shorts that Elizabeth had put on her too.

And both were wearing long-sleeve blouses.

Actually neither was showing much skin now that Elizabeth was paying attention, it wasn't something new for Rena, but Rossie usually had short blouses that showed tummy and mini skirts...

"... I'm sorry...?" Elizabeth said unsure, the mood in the room screamed that she was the bad here, but... she wasn't sure why?

She had done nothing bad, or wrong, she hadn't ignored Rossie or Rena, nor left them for weeks alone, she made sure to check using the Time Mana, at worst a couple hours had gone by since she entered the portal into Terra Nexus.

".... You are sorry for what exactly?" Rossie asked in an even tone, "For toying with our bodies for weeks on end? For forcefully injecting stamina to keep us awake? For ignoring our pleas for rest, water, and food?"

"... But you liked it." Elizabeth stated, at which point Rossie blushed quite furiously while crossing her arms atop her chest, "I know you did, I felt it too."

Elizabeth raised her right hand and pointed at the ring that linked her to Rossie, the Soul tether may be gone, but this remained, even if it wasn't as strong as before, they could still share some sensations and feelings.

And Elizabeth knew for a fact that Rossie had enjoyed every second of it.

"Same as Rena," Elizabeth said pointing to the other ring, "I know you enjoyed it too."

"That is not the point!" Rossie said standing up, "I... I am the Lustful one! Wha- What was that?!?!?"

"...My love and pent-up feelings after being teased daily since I was fifteen?" Elizabeth said tilting her head to the side, "You do know that you teased, tempted and actively tried to arouse me for almost three years right? Those feelings didn't just disappear whenever you left the room."

"... But..." Rossie attempted to say something and merely sat down with her mouth closed into a thin line.

"Also, you may be Lust but I am Debauchery," Elizabeth smirked as she felt the words settle into her, asking if she was going to embrace that aspect of herself, Elizabeth decided to not do it quite yet.

The Debauchery Dragon, was an aspect of herself, but she wasn't sure if she was going to settle into that one. She had options after all.

"I am sorry for dragging you into that, Rena," Elizabeth said, turning to the red-haired girl, "I made sure to think about your feelings, but since you kind of answered to my calls..."

"...It's fine," Rena said in a small voice lowering her face and letting her hair hide her face, "I liked it too..."

But she could see the smile on her face, that was what Elizabeth liked to call a win.

"But you are right, I didn't think about your feelings Rossie," Elizabeth said nodding, this was a two ways street, this was a marriage, they would live and share their Fate, so Elizabeth would need to listen to what her partner said, "So from now I promise to limit these type of intercourse to less than half an hour."

"No!" "NO!"

The screams came at the same time, one stronger than the other, both Rossie and Rena refused. One more strongly than the other.

"...I mean, let's don't exaggerate," Rossie said, coughing into her hand and pretending that she wasn't surprised about how strongly Rena reacted, "I just want you to... tell me with time that you plan a two-week marathon."

"But it wasn't two weeks." Elizabeth pointed out.

"... It wasn't?" Rossie asked confused, "We asked Mira, your Minion of time. And she said that the time barrier held for the equivalent of two weeks."

"Yeah.... That was for the outside world, we spent a month and thirteen days going at it." Elizabeth said scratching the back of her head, "I checked, the Time Mana on you both tells as much. I guess the barrier I made with the Heart power's was stronger than expected."

"... Just let us prepare mentally before you go into another Marathon." Rossie said sinking back into her sofa. "For my heart's health."

"Sure thing," Elizabeth easily accepted, and she also made a mental note, she would need to work up the time, perhaps the next time she would only use a night?

She would need to work it up slowly, her plan of a year of Debauchery would be far into the future...

"So, with that out of the way, are you ready?" Rossie suddenly said, bringing back Elizabeth from her more PG-18 fantasies.

"For what?" Elizabeth asked confused, "You want to go at it already?"

"For the wedding, Elizabeth," Rossie said, shaking her head, "If it were two weeks for the rest of the world, and if what Aura said is true, then the wedding is soon."

"Ah, that." Elizabeth said pointing to the shadows under them, "... Ah right... The former minions aren't available... Rossie, do you have access to the Valkyries?"

"Former minions?" Rossie said confused, "Let me see... Siegfried!"

"Yes Mistress?" One of the valkyries appeared under the light of a teleport spell, "What can we do?"

"It seems so, why former minions Elizabeth?" Rossie asked yet again.

"Oh that, when I finished the Seven Series Dragon Heart, all the minions became living beings, they are no longer mana constructs but actual living entities... I assume the same happened to the Valkyries." Elizabeth said looking at the little girl.

She did look more... alive.

"...Yes, we can testify that we experienced an... uncomfortable change, we now require sustenance, sleep, and many annoying things." The Valkyrie said grumbling, "Also we lost our connection to our Base as we got shoved into Zaanam a few minutes ago."

"Sorry about that, Terra Nexus will be out of service for some time." Elizabeth said shrugging, so their base wasn't within Terra Nexus but in the space nearby? Had they repurposed the former base of the [Twelve]? "That isn't the issue. Can you check out the Cathedral? If we lost the minions then we will be short in manpower for security."

"....Sure," The Valkyrie said before teleporting away.

"At least they don't hate me anymore... I think," Elizabeth said shaking her head, "But yes, the wedding is soon and I can't wait for it to start..."

Elizabeth had many things to check, namely... How her status looked now. That would be interesting.
