Chapter 11

Changing the Law

Smith, Cerea, Papi, Kim, Miia and I were in Kim's living room. Smith had shown up wanting to talk to me. Smith was sitting down with a cup of coffee in her hand. The rest of us were sitting on the couch or chairs.

"I talked to some people I know about your request of having both Papi and Centorea as wives. They are intrigued on how you stated your request, and they want to talk to you about it. They set up a meeting for the day after tomorrow at 9:30 am. I hope that is good with you." Smith told me offhandedly.

I nodded my head in agreement. "I can do that." I told her.

"I'll be here at 9:00 am to pick you up and take you to the meeting." Smith added then she looked at Kim. "More coffee Darling." She told kimihito.

Kim rolled his eyes. "Yes, Ms. Smith." He said as he stood up, took her coffee cup and headed to the kitchen.

Two days later.

Smith showed up on time, although she wanted a cup of coffee before, we left. We arrived at the building the meeting would be in just in time. Smith led me upstairs to the office. "The rest it up to you. I'm not allowed in the meeting." She told me.

"Maybe you could get some coffee while you wait." I offered with a big grin on my face.

Smith snorted then turned around and walked away.

I chuckled then opened the door to the office.

I walked up to the secretary's desk. "I have an appointment. My name is Eilwyn Tengee." I told her.

She looked at a date book. "Yes, Mr. Tengee, they will be with you in a few minutes." She informed me.

I walked over to a window and looked out. I put my hands behind my back and held one wrist with the other hand.

Because of who I was to be talking to. I changed my Adjustable Clothes, to a dress suit and tie.

About five minutes passed before the secretary spoke up. "You can go in." She told me.

I slowly turned and looked at her. "Thank you." I told her, then I walked over to the door to the office, opened it and walked in.

There were three men in the room sitting along one side of a table. One of the men stood up and greeted me. "Mr. Tengee, please come in and have a seat." He said indicating an empty chair. Then he introduced himself and the two other men with him. "I am Representative Hada, this is Councilor Ishii, and Foreign Minister Oshima." Hada told me. I bowed slightly to each as they were introduced. I wasn't going to try and reach over the table to shake their hands.

"Please be seated Mr. Tengee." Hadda told me.

"My proper title is Lord, I am Lord Tengee." I told him.

This brought a bit of a surprise to them. They had not expected someone that was titled. They thought I was, what most politicians think of the citizens they represent as, a commoner.

Hada cleared his throat. "Yes… Lord Tengee." He corrected himself although it sounded like he didn't like it. And I know he didn't like that I had a title, because I was keeping watch in their minds to see what they were up to.

As this was going on I pulled the chair out from the table. I created a telekinetic box under the chair and lifted it up twelve inches. I extended the 'box' a foot in front of the chair so I would have a place to set my feet. This put me either at the same height as the politicians or slightly higher.

Hada looked over some papers then looked up at me. "Now, Lord… Tengee, as we understand, you want to marry a harpy named Papi. While at the same time being married to a Centaur named Centorea Shianus under the centaur custom that a knight is considered married to their master. Is that correct?" He asked me.

I nodded my head in agreement. "Yes, that is correct. I'm sure you already know, many monster Girls need human males to have children. I don't believe it would be a good idea for large numbers of men to marry just one monster girl. That would greatly reduce the number of human women being able to marry and have offspring, which would greatly reduce the number of children in the next generation. But if one man was able to marry more than one monster girl. That would leave more men to marry human women, while still keeping the monster girl population steady." I told them my idea.

Hada and Ishii nodded their heads as if they agreed with me or at least understood what I had told them. Oshima just looked at me with a thoughtful expression on his face.

"This is an unusual request." Foreign Minister Oshima started. "But there are many loopholes in the 'Interspecies Exchange Accord', so we should be able to find a way for you to marry both liminals." He stated.

"Yes, there are many loopholes in the law. And that is the problem, politicians making laws and intentionally put loopholes in them so they can "use" those loopholes to either make money for themselves or to gain power and control. There is no other reason for there to be loopholes in any law." I stated.

This obviously riled up Ishii because he slammed his hand on the table and stood up. "How dare you say such things. It takes a lot of time and effort to make laws and sometimes these loopholes…" He started berating me.

"Shut up" I said and sent to all three of them. "That is exactly what I mean. You would NOT be so upset if what I said was not true. What the three of you are going to do is… rewrite the law. First, it will state that limina's and humans are to follow the laws of the land they are living in. If a liminal breaks the law, a human or a liminal can stop and/or arrest the liminal and they can use force if necessary. That solves most all of the problems in the first law. Second, you will put in that a human male can marry up to 4 Monster Girls. A centaur is not included in the four wives because the centaur is considered already married to their 'master'. That means a human male can be married to four liminal girls and also married to a centaur. And third, after a liminal has been living with their host family for six months, they can go out on their own without a member of their host family going with them, as long as the liminal follows the laws of the country they are living in." I told them and I also pushed into their minds so they would do what I had told them. "And last, the three of you will write and sign a letter allowing me, Eilwyn Tengee to marry Papi and to be considered under the law to be married to Centorea without having to go through all the legal paperwork. You will write that letter, sign it and have it delivered to Ms. Smith by the end of the workday, today." I finished and stood up.

Kadd, Ishii and Oshima all stared into space until I stood up. Then they came out of their trance or stupor. Then after a moment they stood up.

"That's a very good idea. I'm sure it will work out very well and to everyone's benefit." Hada said as if everything I had said was his idea.

"Yes, yes, I believe you are correct." Ishii added as he stood up. "Thank you for coming in. We will have the letter allowing you to marry both Centorea and Papi to you by the end of the workday today." He told me, then turned to the other two.

"If you have any trouble passing the new law. Let Ms. Smith know so she can contact me, and I'll be a witness in both houses." I told them.

"Yes, yes." Kadd said and turned to the other three.

All three started talking and ignored me. It seemed I had been dismissed by them, so I dissolved the telekinetic box under the chair and left the office. As I headed to the elevator, I pulled out my cell phone and called Smith to let her know the meeting was over and I would be in front of the building waiting for her to pick me up so she could take me back home.

Later that evening Smith showed up at our house to deliver the memo saying I could marry Papi and also be considered married to Cerea without having to go through all the red tape. And they were working on a new bill, per my 'suggestions'.

==========================

Six weeks after Smith showed up to give me the memo. She showed up again. Of course, Smith shows up quite a bit to eat and she brings the MON squad with her at least half the time. But this time she had a letter for me from Representative Hada and Councilor Ishii. In the letter they wanted me to speak in front of the government houses to explain why human males should be able to marry up to four monster girls.

A week later I gave a speech in front of the two houses of government. I used my mind control to get a majority of votes to pass the new law in both houses. Shortly after that it was signed into law.

The law states, simplified; A human male may marry 2, 3 or 4 Monster Girls. This is allowed so Monster Girls can have offspring. Otherwise, human males would marry 1 Monster Girl reducing the number of human children being born. If a human male marries a Monster Girl, he must marry no less than 2 monster girls and up to and no more than 4 Monster Girls. Centaurs are exempt from this part of the law because in centaur society they are considered married to their master by way of centaur society. Thus, centaurs are legally married to their master without having to go through the usual red tape and ceremonies. Because of this prevision, a human male can have up to four liminal wives plus one centaur wife.

Under the law all liminals will be required to follow the laws of the land they live in. If a Liminal breaks any law a human or Liminal law enforcement officer can use whatever force is required to subdue and arrest said Liminal. If found guilty said Liminal will be treated as if they were a human that had broken the same law. If said Liminal is to be imprisoned, they will be placed into an appropriate facility suited to their kind of Liminal. Under this law a new and special facility may be required to be built to accommodate Liminals that require special accommodations. Example, Mermaids, Centaurs, Lamia, etc.

I've been slimed.

We were in Kim's kitchen. Kim was trying to teach Miia how to make a stew. Cerea, Taima and I were in the dining room and Papi was playing a game on the gaming system in the dining room. Kim walked over to us when Miia screamed. Everyone looked to see what was wrong. Something was covering Miia's head. Of course, Taima and I know what or rather who it is, but we didn't want the others to know that we knew what was going on.

A translucent bluish-green blob with a green tentacle or antenna sticking out of the top, enveloped Miia's head. Kim and Cerea yelled in shock and surprise. Papi was too involved in her game to notice what was going on. But moments later the thing on Miia's head released her. Kim was able to put it in a fairly large bowl.

I picked up the bowl. "I'll take it to my house. If it's dangerous I can shut the portal to keep it in the pocket plain." I told them.

"O-okay." Kim said and turned to Miia, who was laying on the couch recovering from being 'attacked'.

"Let's go Papi!" I called. "You can play at home."

"Will Master play with me?" Papi asked me.

"I will if I get the chance. We have to see what will happen with this." I said indicating the slime in the bowl.

"Are you sure Master? It already attacked Miia. It might attack one of us." Cerea said.

"I'm sure we'll be just fine." I told her.

Carrying the bowl with the slime, Suu, in it, I led Cerea and Papi to our house. And soon it will be Suu's house as well. Once in the house I set the bowl with Suu in it on the coffee table in the living room.

Standing by the coffee table looking at Suu in the bowl. "I believe it is a slime, Master." Cerea informed me.

"I was thinking the same thing." I told her.

"Fear not, Master, for I will protect you. I swear it on my blade." Then in a softer voice. "Even though it is a replica". In her normal voice. "I shall not permit my Master to be harmed by such a creature." Cerea exclaimed.

Papi jumped onto my back, flinging her arms around me. "Master, let's play." Papi said with excitement.

"Where are your priorities, Papi!" Cerea exclaimed.

Papi released me and stepped back away from me. At that time the slime extended itself from the bowl.

"Take cover!" Cerea yelled. "Get away from my Master!" Cerea said to the slime as she swung her sword at the slime. Cerea's sword did no harm to the slime.

Cerea looked at her sword. "How? Slimes are supposed to be some of the lowest level of creatures. I'm powerless against it." Cerea said.

Suu the slime fell upon us from behind, then she quickly fled the room.

Papi was back at the TV playing a game on the gaming system, totally ignoring what was happening behind her.

"Ugh, what a mess. Are you alright Cerea?" I asked Cerea.

"I am unharmed Master. I didn't think slimes were that strong." Cerea replied. She raised her hand up and looked at it. Her hand was covered in slime. "I'm all covered in slime." She added.

I looked down at myself. "I've been slimed!" I exclaimed and chuckled. "I need a shower." I added as I headed to the big bathroom.

As I passed Papi playing a game of tennis on the gaming system. "Be careful Papi." I said as she ran back and forth swinging the controller. I don't think she even heard me. But then, I wasn't really worried.

Since I had given Papi more intelligence and a better memory, she is smarter and learning more and she wasn't forgetting things. But Papi still gets lost in games and a few other things, where she totally blocks out the rest of the world for a time. But then, I know other people that do the same thing when reading or gaming.

In the bathroom I stripped my clothes off and put them in a cubby. They would clean themselves, but the slime might take a little longer than normal to clean.

I prefer showers, but I miss the Bath House back home on Pern. Although the Japanese style bath in this house is nice.

I turned the shower on and started washing the slime off of myself.

A few minutes later, I heard Cerea talking through the door. "Master…?" She started. I could hear her but barley because she was talking fairly softly. "ERR… would it be… all right…?" Cerea said haltingly, and possibly a little fearfully. I believe she was afraid I would reject letting her come into the bathroom with me.

"Sure, you can come in." I called out to Cerea.

Cerea had undressed and only had a towel draped over her breasts and down her front. "Pardon my intrusion!" She told me. Then she looked at me. "Master… your…!" She started and blushed

"Yes, I am. I'm taking a shower, so I don't have any clothes on. And you keep forgetting, we… are… engaged…!" I told her.

"I don't know if…" She started again.

I chuckled. "Do you want me to help wash the slime off of you, or not?" I asked her.

Cerea blushed. "Yes, would you please help me wash the slime off, Master." She said.

"Okay, then come over here so I can wash you down with the shower head." I told her.

Cerea walked over to where I was. I picked up the shower head, disconnected it from its holder and pointed it at Cerea. I did a quick rinse to get some of the slime off and also to get her wet. I motioned for her to sit/lay down. Once she had her horse half laying on the floor, I took a hand brush and started brushing her horse half down. I started where her human half stopped, and her horse half started. I scrubbed her front right quarter and moved to her left side. As I walked in front of Cerea I bent over and kissed her on her nose. Cerea blushed, but she also smiled. Once on her left side I started scrubbing that side.

After a few minutes we both heard dripping water. Or in this case dripping slime.

"Remember, you don't have your sword with you." I told Cerea.

Cerea looked at me with a confused look on her face, just as the slime dropped down from the ceiling onto the floor.

Cerea moved to get up, but she tripped and started to fall. I moved beside Cerea to prevent her from falling over. "I got you." I said as I made sure she was on her feet.

"Thank you, Master." She told me.

The slime moved towards me, but Cerea moved to block her.

"It's ok, Cerea. Let it go." I told her.

"Are you sure, Master?" She asked just as the slime grabbed me with a tentacle.

"Yes, I'm sure. I'll be just fine." I told Cerea then I looked at the slime.

A moment later the slime almost exploded and changed from a blob to that of a girl. She looked at me for a moment then hugged me. Then she knocked me over, so I was laying on the floor. She took the brush I had been using on Cerea and started scrubbing me, just like I had scrubbed Cerea.

"She's copying things she's seen. Papi hugging me, me scrubbing you're back. I believe she's just learning about human society." I told Cerea. "There's a possibility that she's a baby or a young 'girl' and is learning. Intellectually anyway."

"It seems that way Master." Cerea said.

I wanted to start thinking of her as Suu, which is what Papi will name her in just a little while.

Suu move up to my head and hugged me, the next thing I know, my head was engulfed in Suu's body. The natural thing to do when you can't breathe is to panic. It took me a moment or two to remember that I don't need to breath. Once I remembered that I calmed down. I motioned to Cerea that I was Okay so she wouldn't panic and would stay out of the way.

I stood up and jumped into the bathtub. When I did that, Suu kind of melted and released me. I stepped out of the tub and looked back in. "You need to learn that almost everyone else needs air and you can't cover them with your body like that, girl." I told Suu, not that I expected her to understand what I was saying.

"Master, are you alright?" Cerea asked looking at me with concern on her face and in her voice.

"I smiled at Cerea. "Yes, I'm alright." I looked around for a moment then back to Cerea. "I believe we're clean enough. Let's leave the slime here for now and go out to the living room." I suggested.

"What about the slime, Master?"

I looked at the bathtub again. "I don't think we need to worry about her for now. And I'll send Taima to tell Kim and Miia what happened. They'll probably want to know." I said.

Cerea nodded her head in agreement. "That would be a good idea, Master. They should know what is happening with the slime." Cerea admitted.

We dried ourselves and dressed. As we were leaving the bathroom, I let Cerea go ahead of me. As she passed me, I reached up and swatted her on the rump. "Nice haunches, girlfriend." I said.

Cerea jumped a little. "Master!" She called and turned to look at me with her face red from embarrassment. Then she smiled because I had said 'girlfriend'.

"Girlfriend. I'm my Master's girlfriend." She said more to herself than to me and her smile got bigger.

"You're my girlfriend as well as my fiancé." I told her and winked at her. I took her hand and walked her to the living room where Papi was still playing on the game system.

A few minutes later Kimihito and Miia walked into our living room.

"I didn't think of defeating the slime by diluting it in water, Master." Cerea told me.

I shrugged my shoulders. "I took a chance. Although it was interesting that the slime turned into a girl."

"Bird chop." Papi called. We could hear Papi playing a game on the gaming system behind us.

"A girl!?" Miia said, and Kim looked stunned.

"We don't need another girl around here." Kim said.

"I had no idea a slime could take human form." Cerea stated.

"I've never heard of anything like it." Miia added.

"Take that!" Papi yelled.

"Maybe you should report this to Ms. Smith." Cerea suggested.

"Do you really think she'll do anything?" Kim asked.

"She is a loose cannon." Miia said.
