After Misty's departure from Lucifer's penthouse room, the morning was still young. The entire ducal palace buzzed with preparations for the ascension ceremony and the fertility ceremony festival that would begin the day after the ascension.
While some members of the Velmora household busied themselves with these duties, others spent cozy time with their loved ones.
Crotivia was spending her morning with her father. She had known that Lucifer had gone to the Risen Kingdom to rescue her father, Valdren, about three days earlier. She had not expected him to finish the work in just four days. Valdren's sudden arrival at the ducal palace was a complete surprise to her.
The moment she saw Valdren standing beside her husband, Crotivia ran toward him and pounced on him like a tigress, embracing him with fierce love. In that hug every regret seemed to melt away.
While holding him she remembered how, in the past, Valdren had devoted everything to her. In a sudden rush of naughty thoughts the old memories resurfaced: the dilapidated house on the boundary of the kingdom's capital, where her father had emotionlessly sold his body to random women each day to earn their living, then at night had spent his time loving her—and fucking her—because he always saw the resemblance of his late wife, Evernight, in his daughter Crotivia.
Those memories made her hands begin to caress Valdren's body. When her palm pressed against his crotch she kissed him deeply, mouth to mouth, their tongues battling for dominance.
Seeing Crotivia so thoroughly occupied with her father, giving and seeking physical pleasure, Jasper left them alone in that section of the room. He walked past them and went to seek a morning dose of pleasure from his other main wives.
When he reached them he found Dimancy riding Jason's cock in the cowgirl position while Jamaica smothered her pussy over Jason's mouth. Both women were fully busy fucking Jason. Jasper decided to look for his other concubines instead and left to find pleasure with them.
Meanwhile, just as Crotivia was indulging with her father, Silva and Selene were respectfully welcoming Galathor into Grand Duchess Mia's room, where most of the women of the Velmora household were gathered, including Mia herself.
Seeing her two daughters-in-law welcoming the new elven man so warmly, Mia asked about him. She learned that Galathor was a supreme warrior of the Hemis Kingdom and Selene's grand-uncle. Some time earlier he had unexpectedly vanished from Hemis Kingdom together with his team of forty elven rangers, leaving the entire Hazelwood Royal Family worried and disturbed.
When Mia heard this she asked Selene, "So how did your grand-uncle suddenly arrive in our duchy? Did he come as part of the Hemis Kingdom delegation? According to Allen, that delegation is supposed to arrive tomorrow morning."
Selene answered, "Mother, I don't know anything about the delegation. But when Allen was escorting Grand-Uncle, he said that Grand-Uncle came here with Lucifer."
The words immediately sparked Mia's curiosity. "Luci came back? What about Zyrelia, Mara, and Vance—did they return too? And what about Sir Valdren?"
Selene replied, "Maybe he came back. How else would Allen have been able to escort Grand-Uncle here? As for Zyrelia, Mara, and Vance… I don't know, Mother. I didn't even know they had gone anywhere. And who is this Valdren? Tell me, Mother—what are you hiding from me? What are you hiding from us?"
Mia answered firmly, "Selene, why are you questioning me like this? I didn't hide anything. If you don't believe me, ask Ruby, Crotivia, and Jasper. All of them know that Lucifer went to the Risen Kingdom to rescue Crotivia's father, and Crotivia's father's name is Valdren."
She gave Selene no further chance to press. "Dear, why don't you spend some quality time with your grand-uncle? Since Luci is back, that means he successfully rescued Sir Valdren. I'm going to Jasper's room to check on them."
With a wink she smoothly departed from the room.

Meanwhile, while all of this was happening downstairs, Lucifer lay on his Priapus bed with his eyes closed, trying to control the lust that had built up after the sexless time he had spent with Misty.
Suddenly he felt a presence. When he opened his eyes he found that all of his shadow-daughters and shadow-wives had returned from the newly merged states and other areas.
Seeing them after so long, Lucifer wanted nothing more than to love them for eternity. Before he could even speak, Velerica, Aurethia, Kaelith, Zyrene, Almyth, Bellatrixa, Severina, Nocturna, Lovertia, Vritra, Mara, Gracy, Aelune, Lucelith, Almirae and the others pounced on him like hungry tigresses, surrounding him, pressing their bodies against his, cuddling and kissing every inch of skin they could reach.
The sudden flood of soft breasts, warm thighs, and hungry mouths only stoked the arousal already burning in him. Lucifer's cock, already half-hard, thickened fully as hands stroked him, lips trailed down his chest, and wet pussies rubbed against his thighs and hips.
He did not hold back. With a low growl he pulled Velerica astride him first, guiding his thick cock into her tight, slick cunt and thrusting upward hard while she rode him with desperate moans. At the same time he pulled Aurethia and Kaelith close, sucking one nipple while fingering the other woman's dripping folds. Zyrene and Almyth took turns kissing him deeply, their tongues sliding against his as their hands helped stroke the base of his cock every time Velerica lifted and dropped.
He flipped positions without mercy. One moment he had Bellatrixa on her hands and knees, fucking her from behind with deep, wet strokes that made her ass ripple and her juices run down her thighs, while Severina sat on his face, grinding her pussy against his mouth so he could tongue her clit. The next moment he had Nocturna and Lovertia pressed together, their legs scissored so he could drive into one and then the other in rapid succession, their moans mingling. Vritra and Mara took his cock between their soft breasts, sliding them up and down his shaft until he was glistening, then both licked and sucked the head together while Gracy and Aelune fingered themselves and fed him their wet fingers to taste.
Lucelith and Almirae straddled his thighs and rubbed their swollen clit against the base of his cock whenever it was free, coating him in their slickness. He pulled them down one after another, burying himself to the hilt and pounding until their walls clenched and they came hard around him, crying out his name. He never left any of them unsatisfied—every shadow-wife and shadow-daughter received his cock, his fingers, his tongue, or the press of his body. He came deep inside everyone of them, flooding their wombs, then kept going, still hard, still hungry, rotating through the group so that each received thorough, relentless attention.
The love session stretched on for hours. By the time noon arrived Lucifer had already impregnated all twenty of the existing shadow-wives and shadow-daughters. From those impregnations twenty new shadow-daughters had already begun to form and mature under the unique nature of their shadow lineage. Lucifer now sat among them all, the original twenty and the newly born twenty, playing with them like a happy father spending contented time with his growing family—kissing soft cheeks, stroking hair, and holding the newest arrivals close while the older ones curled against him in satisfied, sated affection.
