Andras replies to Queen's question with confidence; "If my balls cannot provide chosen of stars powers or dragon-bloods, I make them do so. Just need sacred hunt the prime specimens."<br/><br/>Six Grains of Pomegranate smiled and replied; "Besides pleasure, my meat receives prayers of Andras, and to get them released and understood I need to stimulate the rod so I hear prayers in detail."<br/><br/>Six Grains of Pomegranate receives detailed instructions but he adds; "I imagine the Dynastic military structure does has already some problems and corruption going on so our meddling if any would get blamed on someone else. Same for heavenly bureaucracy."<br/><br/>Andras was involved with sons as he was with the daughters while growing up, teaching the same virtues he followed to them and taught joys playing with your dick (but without getting a release as that's only for once). Besides that he taught them man's honor and other virtues besides related to their cock, like honorably combat foes whom you acknowledge being honorable (those who aren't worthy of respect can be disrespected just fine so long you do not steep lower what your own virtues dictate in regarding treating enemies).<br/><br/>As the time came to meet the boys and train them further he nodded on instructions given and replies; "Understood, I use mine or Hellwhore's for practice for them." As he witnessed the boys he smiled proudly at them and their shenanigans, on a question about prime meats he replied to his son; "Looks promising, but you can always aim harder, bigger and veinier." As he then watched sons get gifts he appreciated the spirit the sons had, also as Queen spoke what she appreciated he nodded, smiling replying; "I understand, a man using muscles is using muscles for actual labor than merely showing it off. Pain from growth and growing stronger is natural."<br/><br/>As sons start their own sadistic or perhaps a bit masochistic game, as Queen asked him to show good example he reaches with hand on his own sack, squeezing from base brings out his enlargened nuts more in view and says; "Your game shows promise sons, but you need train harder so you are able to match this." Then Andras started rapid spanking, loud slaps, and smacks in a row but that's not just it...he is playing his own nuts like leathery drums! Beating in rhythm and in tune and he whistles also! Not grimace or cry or grunt in pain, just beating his nuts in beat for while until he stops and says; "You need train your swimmers in good beat so when they swim they do it in style! They are deaf and can't hear you so talking is not going cut it, you need smack and shake their world so they learn it while spawning in." Andras besides giving instruction he like any good wolf establishes a calm dominance on the 'two pups' he is going to teach. As Queen departs Andras starts a new training regime for his sons, they are big and strong but he teaches them some pain enduring along find creative ways to play with their body as an instrument. Some primal musical talent as sort bonding time along with stamina and pain endurance.<br/><br/>Damaj arrives as summoned, he nods on Queen's plans (and appreciate the view of her body) as he replies to her question; "Asking what houses hold most influence is asking what is a more valuable food item in farmer's table; bread or potatoes or is it ale? The dynastic house differs in fields of influence, some houses hold a stronger connection to trade, some military, some at naval, some at secondary schooling academies or at local political scale. However, perhaps own way weakest influences is by Nellen's house but even theirs is in my opinion not that weak; Nellens house holds the goodwill of the general population and mortal patrician houses and minor businesses which they have funded and gain small cut in said business income."<br/><br/>"House Ragara is essentially a dynastic house that functions like the bank to rest dynastic houses and has the most wealth and big deals. However, in present trying times where most dynastic house coffers grow weaker, Nellens house has actually not just maintained their wealth network but made it even stronger. Yet Nellens house is viewed weakest cause their house has most least number of dragon-blooded and even rare few which aren't adopted and are born into a house are viewed as runts by other house born dynasts."<br/><br/>"Sesus is militarily strong, but tactics aren't their strong suit. They have wound themselves as bit supporter house for house Mnemon. That falls to Tepet house which at moment is critical weakened state since their house legions and many dragon-bloods were killed in north against Bull of the North, but they hold still strongest legion; Vermillion Legion or as otherwise named red-piss legion. Which is legion where houses send children which they want die gloriously in a military career, or be reforged most elite of legionnaires ever reforged."<br/><br/>"Cathak is a strong military house but they hold a strong connection to Immaculate Faith and many members in their house study martial arts and Immaculate texts regular basis. Religious house. Cynis house strength is running the brothels and pleasure dens and slave trade. Peleps control the navy both financial and military-wise and do shady deals beneath others notice more than usual. Ledaal house is smaller but focused on lore and occult, they have the strongest connection to Hepthagram as many most powerful sorcerers have become legends in the sorcerous field, and is rare few houses where becoming sorcerer is not a stigma but honored tradition."<br/><br/>"V'neef house is also smallest but maybe in future prospects most pure-blooded house or seek to expand into that market besides Mnemon house. Mnemon holds a record of most pure and born children but the political scene it's a ruthless house that crushes opposition in politics and any conflicts if they can and thus not highly popular. V'neef is also the youngest child of Scarlet Empress, sadly though she and all her children are women. No men and she cares and tactically plans where marry her children to form connections. Not waste her bloodline potential like Cynis whored themselves to point one branch of their household is mutated in element-wise to another aspect."<br/><br/>The last house to even worth to mention is house Iselsi, but they have been outcasted and gutted and ruined into slow decline since they made coup against Scarlet Empress and unlike house Manosque she decided instead of quick death she slowly withered the house. At the moment house, Iselsi holds even less influence than Nellens do yet they are viewed more pure-blooded albeit much pitied than Nellens are. Now, influence wise I would go about who would have any claim or hold over Scarlet Throne? House Mnemon is wanting throne and is ruthless and has connections but not many want to ally and support Mnemon's house, Peleps holds the navy but haven't much their own power and they have expanded outwards from Blessed Isle recently, house Tepet even if tatters have a trump card in Tepet Ejava who has gained popularity as a potential candidate and she is dragonlord of Vermillion Legion which is by still far the elite legion as there ever is. Lastly, V'neef is a black horse in the race as they are supported by house Cathak who albeit would be an excellent contender for the throne they refuse to join the political games for the throne but rather want support and be the power behind the throne than be on the throne. So they so far support V'neef's claim if any to the throne but they focus stabilize their power and influence at the moment and seek more allies.<br/><br/>I mentioned Nellens but they have no interest to throne and anybody would laugh at them, they do not have a military but they have goodwill of population and have significant pull in smaller markets, and have slowly gathered a significant amount of income. Ragara house does not join support Mnemon nor oppose it directly, but they may play some games. I imagine something Scarlet Empress did on past forbids house make any grand gambit to Scarlet Throne. Iselsi does nothing and Sesus is already supporting Mnemon. So that's short summary of things regarding great houses so far as I know as outsider but there can be further details which I may have missed. Cynis house stance I do not know but they likely want support anyone who does not wipe them out."<br/><br/>As Damaj is reminded of the deal, he smiles and nods and replies; "I shall do grand display, trust me on that my Queen." On regarding removing his balls, he nods and replies; "If achieve such goal and having daughter continue my lineage pure as possible, then I truly no longer need my balls nor penis at that point." Damaj undresses, it displays that it was not elaborate deception that he misses an arm. If asked why he misses his arm he replies; "Ah, part accident and part circumstance. When I was found out originally I lost an arm as part of my escape from my experiments. When I became akuma, I made an oath of sorcery to decline ever healing my arm nor find a replacement. Live as cripple as an eternal reminder about my limits, but also overcome my limits and constantly work around them as I shall display to you today." Damaj may not have stamina like Andras (or centuries of skills) but as lover, he was dedicated and diligent and provided with one arm he can please a woman just fine. Displaying some creative acrobatics and some cases use his foot as 'second arm' if needed.
