It took a while for the three to recover from their hard four hours of 'celebrations'.

And as Alexander got up first, he was the first to see and smell all the results of what they did.

Expensive chairs were unturned, the large bed was ruffled, soft pillows were strewn all about the floor, many intricately embroidered sheets were crumbled and the thick carpet had suspicious wet spots all over it.

All the while the two beautiful women heaved heavy breaths laying on the carpet, their eyes barely open, but a satisfied light smile lingering on their faces.

They were naturally in their naked full glory and had white stain marks all over, some wet, some turned crusty, with them being especially around their faces and lips, breasts, and tummies, and with some also sticking to their hair which laid sprawled out on the carpet.

It appeared Alexander had douched them with his cream all over, marking them.

While their lower half felt warm and stuffed full, but was still leaking the hot liquid.

And on some parts of the skin which were not covered by the white goo, Alexander found them to have turned red, such as around the breasts and the butts, a clear evidence of the tough handling they suffered.

They most definitely enjoyed themselves to the absolute fullest, and for all three of them, it was an experience they had not expected.

For Alexander, he had never thought he would get to bed the Queen Mother and even do such acts with her, while for the other two, Alexander's package proved to be an absolutely sensational delight.

Lady Inayah could not wait to get another chance with him, while the Queen Mother knew she would look at this experience with fondness in the upcoming days.

Alexander had definitely managed to score some brownie points with her.

After Alexander got up, the girls did not stay in their lethargy for long.

"Ahhh, that was so good," And soon this refreshing cry was given by Lady Inayah, who then raised her arms to stretch herself, and let Alexander again appreciate her curves, while he also gazed at her now reddened black butt.

While the Queen Mother got up to reveal her wheat-colored flank that was marked with Alexander's handprints, and one could even see it had swallow bite marks on them, as Alexander had lightly bitten on them when she had presented her butt to his face.

And seeing those marks of conquests, Alexander also remembered the beautiful cries he heard the Queen Mother make during that play and knew that memory would stay with him for a long, long time.

While, the Queen Mother, after she got up, immediately restored her cold, recognizable facade, and then in total silence, without even giving Alexander as much as a sideways glance quickly made her way to another attached room.

And as she walked off, she inevitably presented her naked butt to Alexander, who upon seeing those luscious globules ripples under each step had quite the urge to grab them by the handful and spank them again.

An opportunity he knew was rarely ever to present itself.

Alexander's little ogling was finally put to an end as Seelima was given a large overcoat by the maid who had decided to suddenly appear out of nowhere, draping it all over her mistress's body, and thus robbing Alexander of that magnificent sight.

'Where had she been?' Instead, Alexander's focus turned to the maid who seemed to have the power to apparate in and out at will, as he had not seen her at all in the past four or so hours, and so gave her a deep look while the girl shrugged off the gaze and only escorted the Queen Mother to the other room, likely to help her freshen up.

"Lord Alexander, why don't you get dressed? And we will get you for supper a bit later," Alexander heard this from Lady Inayah who seemed to quickly follow the Queen Mother to the other room, and from her tone understood she was really asking him to leave.

So with a quick nod he ran to the veranda to get dressed, and after exiting the room inconspicuously and taking a bath, an hour later the trio sat around the dining table as if nothing had happened.

With the only thing being out of place was that both the ladies seemed to have taken a bath this late as evidenced by the slight glossiness on their damp hair.

But there could be a myriad of reasons for it, and such a thing could hardly be extrapolated to what they actually did by any reasonable person.

And so the secret lay buried with the three of them, and over the following days, through their talks and interaction, Alexander came to understand nothing had really changed with either of them.

Which was expected given this was neither's first tango.

So Lady Inayah was still the shrewd merchant lady looking to make a profit, and the Queen Mother was just as cutthroat and ambitious.

And this did make Alexander a bit disappointed, especially because as he understood he could not really bring the Queen Mother over to his side just by sleeping with her.

No matter how much she appeared to have enjoyed his tool.

Though I one thought about it, this was given, for if he could sway this ambitious woman so easily, then she would not be called such an ambitious woman.

Seelima would always enjoy power more than anything else and little would change that.

So Alexander came to view the intimate act as simply the three deciding to have a good time, like drinking and playing games between friends, and nothing more.

The two women had done it with him not out of any particular fondness but because they wanted to do it then and there and he was available.

Furthermore, Alexander had little time to consider these two anyway, as after his decision to leave Zanzan was made, he was inundated his all sorts of work which he needed to finish so that the fief could run smoothly even in his absence.

And so Alexander spent his remaining days slaving away at clerical works, and delegating various parts of the administration to individual council members, followed by teaching Cambyses the various how-knows about how to run Zanzna.

Alexander had decided to leave her in charge.

As for his new inventions and institutions, well the printing press could wait till he got the books from Lady Inayah and Pasha Farzah to be able to actually use the darn thing.

While the public schools needed educated people to act as teachers, which again Pasha Farzah promised to send, and the bank would have to wait till Alexander got back to show Nanazin the ropes.

He certainly did not feel safe leaving hundreds of millions of ropals at her disposal without his personal oversight.

And as he was finishing his preparations, suddenly the farmers began to report that their crops had started to ripen and bear fruits.

Which was strange given it was only mid-August, and the fall harvest was usually around mid to late September.

But it seemed this year, the harvest had come early.

And so all available hands were summoned as quickly as possible, with Alexander even ordering the army to take part in the harvest to get the crops out of the fields and into the granaries as quickly as possible.

Hence for some time, both farmers and soldiers could be seen working the fields, which was not particularly a rare sight in even other parts of the lands as well, given fall harvest was always among the most hectic time for a farmer, requiring him and his entire family to work nearly 70 to 80 hours a week to get everything done on time before any rain could come and lower the grain quality.

Because rains around this time would 'wet' the grains, and that would make the higher moisture-carrying grain of lower quality.

Which further meant that the flour ground from such grains would neither taste good nor be able to be stored for very long.

Hence many times this kind of wheat would be sold as horse or chattel feed, which would be significantly cheaper than regular wheat, meaning less profit for the farmer.

And so to avoid that unfortunate happenstance, everyone in a farmer's family would be required to chip in, as both men and women would be seen taking part in the harvest, using their sickles to reap the wheat, oat, or barley as quickly as possible.

While most times the lord of the land would also make his servants join the fray to help with the collection.

As did Alexander.

And this particular harvest was an especially joyous occasion in Zanzan, for this season's harvest was truly bountiful.

A fact that Menicus let him know as they duo stood in front of a field of golden wheat.

"Haha, my lord, you are truly blessed by goddess Gaia. We have actually managed to get 900 kg of wheat per hectare. 900!" The man's face was flushed with pure joy as he recited the number, as he then exclaimed,

"And in this land! In this heavy clay land!"

"The farmers feel they are living in a dream."

The reason for this jubilation was obvious as Zanzan previously only made 250 - 300 kg per hectare.

And so a triple harvest was of course a cause for celebration.

Alexander made a polite nod towards the excited old man, and after the harvest was nearly completed over the next few days, finally decided to leave Zanzan.
