Leaving the priestess to be moved to the breeding pits, Finexia made a note to visit her regularly.<br/><br/>But when Farren spoke, Finexia nodded solemnly. "Then so be it. So long as you obey, all of them will be given the option to serve me. I will not guarantee anything further, save that I will not deliberately harm any of my servants who behave loyally. Now...if you will speak with your officers and inform them of what you've seen, so that they may make their choices? Once you are done, or after ten minutes, the guards will take you to your quarters, and your guards can make their decisions."<br/><br/>Done there, she headed to the next room where Princess Vivian was waiting. And there she gave the same option. "Princess Vivian. You have seen the breeding pits and what lies before your soldiers. If you agree to do anything I desire, to be my bride, and not to try to escape, I will give them the opportunity to serve me rather than going to the breeding pits. Each will be required to undergo ritual sex beforehand, but they will not be harmed unless they work against me. The choice is yours."<br/><br/>And then she removed the gag, fully expecting a tirade.
