Dungeon of Niflheim-Chapter 777: Khione (5)

"Yes, Maya my former Guardian, a Fenrir who reached the S-rank is my girlfriend, my significant other, my partner, my lover and the future bearer of my children does that answer your question Khione?" Said Frost with irritation as his shoulders groaned in pain. Khione didn't know her own strength.

And in response to his answer Khione released Frost from her iron grip. Her face marred with disbelief as she shakingly backed away, unable process the information given.

Maya was a woman she respected, a young prodigy who had ascended at a young age, proud, strong and who had a well-known aggressive temperament just like herself. Why on Nova would she be willing to bond with someone so weak.

In her mind such a woman would never submit to a partner weaker than herself, at least she wouldn't.

Khione's gaze wandered over Frost from head to toe trying to find some underlying reason, something special that would draw Maya towards him.

'Is it really his looks?' Every time she glanced at his charming face she had to admit that apart from her father Frost had little to no equal when it came to male beauty. And although she prioritised strength, conduct and potential above appearance when it came to a potential partner she also couldn't deny the desire to have someone like Frost, a man who's appearance rivalled and perhaps even exceeded her own by her side.

'….No, such thoughts are insulting to both of them.' Khione quickly shook her head denying such conclusions. Maya, at least the woman she had envisioned in her mind wouldn't be so shallow and Frost albeit only knowing him for a brief time had already shown that his looks weren't his only strength.

He was at the very least a top ranked genius perhaps even a prodigy or outright monster that surpassed herself and maybe even Maya.

Khione was proud and naturally arrogant, but she wasn't foolish. Frost had the potential to reach the same heights as herself and likely Maya, of this she was certain but currently he was but a weakling. Someone who barely scratched the mid stages of B-rank, an individual who was a dime a dozen here in the Realm of Niflheim.

'Looks and potential, perhaps she thought it prudent to snatch up such a man before he grew into his own.' Eventually Khione came to such a conclusion. She nodded her head, agreeing with it logically but her heart continued to struggle.

"….Why?" She uttered as a final form of resistance.

Her question caused Frost to frown in anger, his heart feeling a significant stab from the innocent yet brutal insult.

"Ok that's just mean." He replied somewhat hurt, his tone immediately making Khione feel regretful.

Frost glared at her silently for a couple seconds, letting her actions sink before sighing and shaking his head. "If you want to know why Maya fell for me Khione you'll have to ask her yourself… but if I was to hazard a guess it might be due to my appearance, my talent, my kindness, my capacity to care, the way I make her laugh or how protective I am of those I care for but most likely it's mix of all of them. Just as how I love each and every part of her I'm sure she loves me just the same." Frost went on a rant, proud to declare his romantic strengths and his unshaking love for Maya.

His every word made Khione cringe and retreat like sharp daggers stabbing into her heart. She had crossed a line, insulted both Frost and Maya with her interference and was being reprimanded for it.

Shame and guilt forced her to silently listen to his every word and by the end she was internally kicking herself for her big mouth and intrusive curiosity.

Feeling that he'd made his point, and that Khione had reflected on her behaviour Frost suddenly felt the urge to tease her as a form of payback.

With a subtle yet playful smirk on his lips Frost moved close to Khione and whispered near her ear, a not so easy feat given the difference in height.

"Another reason could be because I'm stronger than her in a certain type of combat." He felt a rush as he spoke knowing full well that acting in such a way could result in dire consequences.

Khione's ear twitched from his whispering, his heated breath feeling strangely comfortable, pleasant even. She didn't even feel awkward with his close proximity as she focused entirely on his words.

"Huh? What type of combat?" Her curiosity once again got the better of her. She failed to notice the growing smile on Frost's lips, desperate to hear how someone of the B-rank could defeat someone at the S-rank, an outright impossibility.

"Hoh are you curious Khione?" He continued to tease and bait her, like a master of the craft.

Khione still oblivious to his intentions nodded her head innocently.

Fully delving into his mischievous role Frost leaned in closer, his body mere centimetres form Khione's. "Well my dear Khione as you probably already know it's impossible for someone like myself to defeat Maya in combat or even you for that matter but there is one area in which I've discovered I'm rather competent, surpassing even her." Khione was so intrigued by his story that she leaned in closer, her solid frame making contact with Frost's body.

Her skin was soft, smooth and quite cold to the touch but once pressed it became firm and immovable because of her dense muscles. Frost noticed this, finding the feeling quite different when compared to Daki's soft voluptuous body but no less…tempting.

In response he relied on his instincts, his experience with flirting and seduction to manipulate Khione's state so as to make the upcoming reveal ever more satisfying. He allowed their bodies to slowly touch, his left hand subtly landing on her shoulder while his right lightly grasped her fingers. Then before continuing his explanation he lightly blew into her ear causing her to shiver and slightly blush without knowing the reason why, everything was instinctual.

"In fact to this day I don't think Maya has ever managed to get the upper hand over me, despite the many, many times we've competed." Frost lightly laughed with smug pride.

By this point Khione was on tenterhooks, reaching the very limits of her patience. "Tell me." She demanded with heated breath.

It was time to land the decisive blow.

"Nightly combat Khione an area in which I've been referred to as a master according Maya and my other lover Daki." Frost was smiling from ear to ear, wondering whether Khione would understand with this or if he'd get to continue his explanation.

"Huh nightly combat?" Unfortunately Khione was too innocent to understand his underlying tone, her mind immediately being drawn to a fight with poor lighting instead of the bedroom.

Of course her response was music to Frost's ears, with a sense of nefarious euphoria he whispered in a seductive tone. "I'm talking about the bedroom my dear Khione, the act of love between two adult partners, the inserting of my dragon into her welcoming cave, the art of continuing one's race… sex Khione, glorious carnal, pleasurable s.e.x." He emphasized each letter of his final word, making damn sure Khione's ears heard.

The results of what he said took some time to come into effect. It started with confusion followed by a sudden understanding. Khione's body started to become hot, her mind that was once innocent taking clear note of Frost's words and using them to create images, provocative scenes that quickly turned her entire face ruby red, her breath laboured and caused a strange but pleasurable sensation to appear between her legs.

Her instincts took effect first, a sight that Frost thoroughly enjoyed. The perfect form of revenge against an arrogant busybody who could crush him with a single blow.

Alas eventually her mind got out of the gutter and the moment it did Frost felt as though his ribs were struck by solid iron pillar. With a deafening crunch her massive fist smashed against Frost's left side sending his body flying into the nearest wall.

"Urgh!" Frost groaned in immense pain as his body crashed against the solid surface and then fell to the floor.

"You sick, perverted bastard!" Khione's was thoroughly enraged. Hot steam billowing through her nostrils as she stomped the ground and threateningly waved her fists in the air.

"Cough, cough you're…the…one that…asked." Frost rose from the floor with great difficulty. So far he found the consequences worth it, her face warping from confusion to sudden realisation was so satisfying. He now understood why Daki and even Maya on the odd occasion enjoyed teasing him back when he could still be considered naïve and innocent.

"I did no such…."

"You wanted to know why Maya's enamoured with me, I simply answered the question." Frost did his best to ignore his wounds as he rose to his feet and dusted off the shards of ice and dust from his robes.

"You!...You!.." Khione was speechless, her finger angrily pointing at Frost as she failed to deny his words. She was so embarrassed that she wanted to hide away and bury her head in the sand.

"Take a breath Khione and relax, we can be considered even now." Said Frost with a warm smile.

"Even! The fuck you talking about." Khione bellowed as she summoned her spear and charged straight for him.

"You were rude and insulting, and in response I merely teased you a little." Frost was unmoved by her aggressive actions; he stood firmly in place and didn't even raise his guard.

Khione thus stopped at the last minute, her honour not allowing her to attack an unguarded enemy, plus her father's stern warning rang in her mind like a loud bell.

Still in a playful mood Frost stared directly into her eyes and asked, "What you never been teased before?"
