Chapter 351: Merchant Astra (1)

"And... here... we... are~! Everything's all set up and good to go~! Aethisia dear, please don't look so brooding. You'll scare away customers like that!"

After looking down at the nice setup that we had, I looked back to see my white haired daughter frowning as she leaned against the wall of a building, the spear resting against her shoulder really tying up her appearance and making it rather unapproachable.

Of course, that was to everyone else that didn't know Aethisia; for us in the family, we knew that she just had a rather... resting annoyed face, one that you grew to love and understand as the days went by.

And inside her crimson eyes rested the all too familiar lust, though that was also hidden from those that didn't know her since most were just wary of her intimidating presence instead.

Camara, Kalia and myself all just gave Aethisia a look before I handed my daughter a bottle, her eyes lighting up as she saw the red liquid sloshing around inside, which made me slightly worried but I trusted my daughter enough to not spiral down into addiction.

"Don't drink it all right away, since I won't be giving you another bottle. Just... take the edge off or something with it, and don't scare away my customers!"

Swatting her arm lightly, I couldn't help but chuckle as Aethisia grabbed my wrist afterwards and whispered "I can't help but want to steer them away... three beautiful women who've all made me feel so~ good before... of course I want to keep you to myself. In fact..."

Aethisia grabbed my butt and pulled me closer, before lifting the veil slightly and giving me a deep kiss, her lavender taste spreading swiftly as she drained her saliva into my mouth, before pulling away and adding "I want you right now, Mother... So get that ass into the cart for me..."

Licking my lips, I followed her into the cart and gave the others instructions, before getting onto my hands and knees and accepting Aethisia's need for me as she grabbed my ass again and began to thrust into it, her cock scraping out Uthga and Eima's semen and replacing it with her own as we had a quickie away from everyone else.

I got to experience just how strong Aethisia had become as she pounded me hard from behind before lifting me up and thrusting up into my ass, cumming inside me once more and satiating her lust just a little bit to start the day; most likely all my girls were aroused after I left them for a dozen minutes earlier, and for me to come back reeking of semen and sex likely didn't help...

So I accepted Aethisia's lust once more as I cleaned off her cock and swallowed down her seed, before I cleaned myself off and dressed again, giving the impressive, magnificent penis that almost rivaled its Dama's another kiss before exiting the cart.

What awaited us outside was a curious group of people who were looking towards the cart with interest in their eyes, though they were also admiring the statues that Camara had carved and listening closely to the benefits of Kalia's tea bundles.

Aethisia took a seat on a crate and uncorked the bottle that she had left outside, while I sauntered over to my table of small wooden jewelry boxes that I had made for 'transportation' but primarily display as well as the various pots and vases that I had situated outside, drawing the attention of everyone as I said "Beautiful jewelry at an affordable price! Get a gift for the wife, a memento for a date, or find the right piece to truly finish your wardrobe! Iron made and polished to look like silver but endure the wear and grime of everyday life without worry, or real silver for those wanting to impress!"

Sliding the boxes forwards, I showed the crowd some of the higher quality rings and bracelets that I was wearing, which I had slipped on as soon as I walked out of the cart, earning myself some nods of appreciation and a deeper set of curiosity.

"Affordable you say? How 'affordable'?"

A Dogkin woman with weathered features stared at the boxes for a moment with narrowed eyes before looking towards me, appreciation still in her eyes even if it was tempered by understandable caution.

"For the iron jewelry, the most expensive piece is going for 3 Silvers maximum. The silver jewelry is going to run you a little bit more, but do understand that working with silver and shaping it is a tad harder, hence the price. My silver pieces won't be sold for less then 5 Silvers, with a maximum of 25. They aren't cheap by any means, but I'd like to think that compared to other stores, I can give you a more reasonable price."

She nodded, before pointing towards an iron ring with an opaque green stone situated on the top, asking "Then I guess the materials reflect the price? Still, looks really good... but what about sizes?"

"Sizing is a bit of an issue, but I can go up or down a size easily. That's why I have three of each for now, just to have the variety in sizes and not make too much of something that people don't like. Would you like to try it on?"

The Dogkin nodded again, and I gently took her hand and inspected her slightly calloused fingers before picking up the larger of the three green stone rings and slipping it onto her ring finger, which was the one she stretched out further.

Lifting her hand up, she admired the simple stone and polished iron, twisting her hand this way and that as she looked at it in the shade and in the light.

"How much for this?"

Smiling under the veil, I inspected the woman in front of me closely and said "For my first ever customer, how about 75 Coppers? Just for you~!"

She raised a brow before smiling back at me, the others behind her clamoring together as she looked at the open boxes, only to grow a bit louder as they watched her open a small coin purse and fish out the coins needed and handed them to me, still inspecting her new ring as she said "Thank you for the lovely ring, Miss."

"No, thank you for buying it~!"

Shaking her hand, I grinned under my veil as she took a step back and made her way over towards Kalia, freeing up the space and allowing another to take her spot, admiring the jewelry and perusing my wares.
