<em>Before tournament</em><br/><br/>Both Andras and Ozymandias took care of the Queen. At the same time, her mind still reeled on the orgasm that Andras endures with his powerful body each time he cums, something which by nature he had to adapt to handle both physically and mentally. Which raw brutality and tide of his passion were enough to surprise and knock Queen into a blissful stupor. In an unintended way exploit one Queen's weaknesses; surprised by the 'betrayal' by someone close to the Queen. Albeit betrayal can be a broad concept among yozis and even unintended, this case overwhelmed the Queen's mind by being an act of betrayal albeit Andras did not feel or notice it (ignorance being bliss in this case).<br/><br/><em>At competition</em><br/><br/>Mara only nods to Queen's words, not confirming them as true or false. In end Mara is connected to Ebon Dragon through her third circle mother; Erembour. Perhaps confirming them true or false doesn't matter and thus not worth even discussing when talking of Ebon Dragon as he indeed can sabotage himself and trip on himself but he can also make another trip on themselves, including Queen, if he maliciously so decides to do so. But Mara, whether as an indirect influence of Ebon Dragon or by a sense of wicked yozi humor asks; "Well, would you prefer this Empress would just waltz here and drop the mantle to you and tell you she has no need for it anymore?" Implications of such deed would be paramount; that Empress, merely lowly dragon-blood, who had years used mantle as a crutch for keeping her advantage above all mortal forces in Creation then dropping mantle to feet of Queen because she no longer needed use it turned the fabled cloak of sorcery nothing more than pretty accessory to her...would be immense powerplay which would humiliate not just Queen but the legacy of all solar sorcerers.<br/><br/>Which either is an immense lie as propaganda or scary terrifying truth about how far Empress has gone in seeking and craving power. Not mere akuma but a direct avatar of Ebon Dragon itself. Also, the way Mara worded it as the question is double fold; either as an offer or hint why Empress may keep such an item even if she no longer needs it. Just as means avoiding humiliating Queen herself? Why she would care to hold such roundabout etiquette? Empress may not have been solar or infernal, but she had played games with the eldest and most cunning of sidereals and with third circle yozis and demons in political schemes whose layers were unmatched by anyone in Creation during her reign. Also, the fact remains she somehow entered Imperial Manse, without being solar, and was able to attune to manse which was ever only programmed to allow solars use and use successfully Sword of Creation without dying. So it would not be the first 'miracle' she had pulled off by herself. She has faced defeats sure, but not many worths to even pondering in the grand scheme of things.<br/><br/>Or entirely what Mara was merely red herring just amuse Mara's own demonic humor. As Mara likes messing with people.<br/><br/>Nyana was glad her stable impressed the main hostess, working diligently as a judge and fairly and praising Andras physique and envying for potential what Queen had in her hands. She offered to trade two of her best in stock (in display in the tournament) for if Andras would breed her in his warform (and result in a devil-spawn/beast hybrid). She had heard of Andras breeding prowess already in Creation in north and thought about crossing roads with him in past. Unsure was this desire sparked seeing Andras by carnal interest on her part or did Nyana plan to give the offer from get-go. Of course, Queen knows how much it would torment Andras to do the deed even if commanded directly by the Queen, he would feel act as betrayed as he would guiltily immensely enjoy it as well. Despite the softness of the curves, Nyana is an established skilled warrior and is the exact type that Andras admired before his akumization and admires still even as akuma.<br/><br/>Of course, if offered artificial impregnation Nyana would dislike the idea, wanting it all honest 'raw, and true' as she's not paying for his cum alone but for experience as well. Nyana would even offer to raise the stakes; make it public in the tournament before the main cockfight event and let the audience witness Andras 'breeding prowess' to earn an extra vote for his scoring. Nyana would offer to make it even fair that other main contestants breeding prowess could be tested with other neomah's.<br/><br/>As Queen made her question, Drukantha's eunuch gulps and whispered fearfully; "Those who displease in flavor or in memory, become food for shiaka or bathed in vitriol and reformed in anvil of night."<br/><br/>Orabilis slave did not react to Queen's words, as they were a statement than a question or an order.<br/><br/>Ligier who studied Andras as well (including using his one dexterous finger to test out the response of the sphincter) replied; "Indeed admirable anus, even if not same value as Alveua's slaves in pure stimuli but his personality would shine brighter forth during such experience." Ligier albeit giving high marks was not enough to sway the score for Andras to win but he was the second close.<br/><br/>Then came the best body and best pecs; overall in here aesthetics and tastes came to the surface greatly between the judges and their preferences. Both Alveua's and Orabilis slaves earned high scores, the lowest was Drukantha's and Janequins were middle. But the highest were Nyana's slaves and Andras scores, they were evenly matched. Berengiere's slaves held a bit higher than middle scores. However, the winner was Ozymandias in beauty in form (even if Andras had larger muscle mass but most judges preferred a more slim/less massive form). However, in pecs and in function Andras won by far.<br/><br/>In genital function Alveua's and Orabilis slaves earned some good scores, as Alveua's slaves had mechanical functions such as extending and lubrication provided along with vibration and Orabilis had essence recovery method via creampies. However, Andras and Ozymandias competed against each other while the rest lacked any meaningful augmentations. Andras gained scores in variety while Ozymandias gained in functions (and more so plus that his cock retained a natural fleshy look than mechanical nature). It was an honest tie in scores but by a coin toss, Ozymandias was declared the winner.<br/><br/>In a contest where minds were wiped out, Orabilis constructs won clearly because they were already minds wiped but still they identified their owner (albeit not by feelings or instincts but by internal programming). His slaves performance was denied because they lacked feelings and instincts altogether but he was not given negative scoring and instead given solid middle scoring. Rest slaves were chaotic at best in recognizing their owners (more matter of luck), even Ozymandias slipped to admire Ligier as his master briefly which Ligier took in delight in! Albeit Queen sensed Ozymandias had doubts and he had chosen purposefully potential wrong owner with hopes of impressing the right owner in making compliments in admiring Ligier with a spontaneous poem.<br/><br/>However, in instincts and by sheer lunar bond, Andras declared Queen properly as his owner! The only reason he lost to Orabilis slaves was merely speeding as he needed to use his (slow) brain to process his feelings and thoughts.<br/><br/>Then, the main event is about to start...<em>The Cockfight</em>is about start. However Nyana's offer remains in the air, she told Queen has a duration of the contest to decide whether make Andras breed on her before the final competition. With the choice of whether to make it a grandiose public display earn extra scores for her own prized slave (despite how it anguishes him) or make it a private gladiator fuck affair in the waiting room (the only reason for secrecy is to alleviate Andras shame if anything or keep it secret as a perk). Also for this part competition, everyone needs to choose their fighters who may die in the match, so Queen can choose the two slaves from Nyana's display for herself and not include them in the fighting.<br/><br/>Unless the entire trick of breeding her is just a means to weaken Andras and ensure her fighters win the competition...
