Arpious of the Planes

"Hmph… so you're one of my wife's concubines, huh? Well, it's a pleasure to meet you," The woman stuck out her hand for a handshake. 

"Well, I guess I am one of her concubines, but to me, she is my wife. In your terms, I have two other concubines who I love just as much… and she has visited me various times." 

The woman's eyes softened just a bit as she looked up at me with an intrigued stare. Clearly, she discovered something she wanted to make use of… or something like that. Her dark blue eyes were just so hard to read that I gave up in the end. 

"If you want to seduce somebody, then how about you pick the right choice… I'll treat you like a queen if you come with me," The woman, this time shifted her hand from a handshaking position to one where I could grab it like she was a knight and I was a princess. 

Palm faced up and her head leaning forward, she looked intent on capturing me from Treyni, who just rolled her eyes at the woman's pettiness. 

"Sorry, but I don't really know you. Also, Treyni is a kind and nice woman who has already shown me the ropes of this plane. I just got here and didn't feel comfortable going with somebody so petty," I smiled. 

The beastwoman's face lit up with amusement, her ears immediately standing straight up as she let go of my hand and took a few steps back. Her smirk was almost contagious as Treyni lightly laughed to herself at the woman's embarrassing move on me. 

"Well then… ummmm… how about I show you around town with Treyni. Also, I apologize if that scared you. I was just testing you," The woman responded with a welcoming smile. "I'm already content with my wife, unlike the slut right here." 

Her words were so casual and almost fluid that it really nailed in the coffin that she was genuine about what she had just said. Also, it seems Treyni didn't take too kindly to this as she immediately grabbed my hand and began to drag me away. 

"Stop talking bullshit when I know you've been sleeping in brothels. At least I have the decency to stay with somebody of royal status… whilst you're sleeping with those disgusting heathens who only fuck day and night," Treyni responded with a kinder smile than the beastwoman. 

Sparks once again zapped in between them, forcing me to break them up just before the grass below us was lit up in flames.

…

"Well then, Homura, I guess I'll take you up on your offer," I smiled, pushing the two women away whilst stepping in between them. Treyni attempted to speak up, but I quickly hushed her concerns with my other words. "Don't worry, she will be coming with us. We're going on the date we promised while she can tag along." 

"Alright, then let's go," Treyni smiled, taking my hand once again and dragging me across the field of grass; Homura, the beastwomen, walking behind us, grumbling to herself. 

"Tch… I'm leaving. Fuck you," Homura muttered after only a few minutes of walking, and just like that, she disappeared into a wisp of blue flames. Her existence was completely gone. Disappeared from my sensing radius. It was strange, but it was quickly answered by Treyni. 

"What you were talking to was a clone. She can create them anywhere on this plane, and she can also switch places with them if she wants. Of course, she's probably sleeping around as of now and only wanted to annoy me," Treyni grumbled once again. 

"So, I'm guessing this is some kind of… rebound? Is she rebounding from being neglected? I mean, I would feel bad for her if she didn't have so much of an attitude." 

"You could call it a rebound. We all thought we were prepared for her to leave, and we were… fine for a while, but we all had different reactions. Out of all four of us, Homura took her leave the worst. I mean, she was basically the only person she knew really well. All of us wives were close friends, but compared to our relationship with Arpious, Homura's was definitely the deepest." 

"So… is she still fulfilling her duties, or-" 

"Yeah, occasionally. Though, it's mostly her daughter now…. I really do feel bad for her, but cheating on Arpious like that is truly unforgivable. I'm sure once they meet again, Homura won't say anything about it, so I'll tell her first. I want Arpious to forgive her instantly instead of letting a situation like that marinate until they get a divorce. Despite how much I don't like Homura now, I would hate to see something like that happen." 

"I see… well, she should be coming back soon after she finishes up something in hell." 

"Wait, hell?" Treyni responded, her eyebrow raised as if she didn't know anything about this. And just judging from the way she backed away and crossed her arms, I knew something was up. These god damns couples didn't have any communication. Not even a single hello or check-in whilst she was gone.
