Dungeon of Niflheim-Chapter 902: Daunting new mistress (2)
Thankfully since they were leaving in a few hours likely into an area that was filled with peril Khione didn’t push Kiba too much. It wasn’t training that he endured but rather a set of stringent tests all of which the young tiger cub passed with near flying colours bringing no small amount of surprise to the Raging Valkyrie a woman who had seen a vast bevy of talents during her life.
"His bloodline is likely purer than most, closer to that of his ancient ancestors rather than the more common variety seen through the mountains." Although her strength had reached the very peak of A-rank Khione still couldn’t gleam anything with certainty only those who had touched the realm of divinity or who had ample knowledge about such things could give a definitive answer.
"I suspect that as well and thus I expect a great deal from him in the future." Frost replied with crossed arms and a smile on his lips. He watched from the sidelines as Kiba was put through his lover’s tests, offering encouragement when he was about to falter. As long as he could shed his penchant for laziness Kiba could easily shine amongst the masses.
"Have you been in here long?" After helping Kiba stumble to the side and handing him a health potion as well as a strip of dried jerky as an interim reward Frost asked noticing the sweat glistening across Khione’s skin, clearly before their arrival she’d been pushing herself.
"Couldn’t sleep." She thought about lying for a second but in the end she told the truth. After Karolina left she went back to trying out differing weapon styles before trying to call it a night shortly into the wee hours unfortunately she ended up tossing and turning in bed. Her mind shifting between the despair and irritation from Frost leaving Niflheim and the desire to no longer see her breasts as simply giant burdens alas such a task required a momentous effort to accomplish. Despite her determination and growing passion she made little headway, becoming more and more confused about the path she was embarking on.
"....It’d probably be more romantic for me to say that I didn’t sleep much either, that my mind was enthralled by your presence, despairing at the thought of not being by your side but that would be a lie...I slept like a log."
Khione showed some side eye before playfully saying "Well unlike me you need to sleep a lot to maintain such fragile beauty."
Frost not expecting such a smooth counter blinked his eyes rapidly before laughing. "Hahahaha you’re getting better at this." Before she’d be tongue tied and want to rely on brute force to put him in his place but now she was able to go tit for tat in a battle words.
"I learned from the best." She smiled finding the exchange itself being a direct expression of their love.
"Yes, yes you did....ow." Frost cockiness did however earn him a mild knock on the head, a love pat if you will.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No, I’ve been too engrossed in training plus I wanted to wait for you."
"Khione~" Frost called her name affectionately before planting a light kiss on her lips, their first romantic exchange of the day.
"I’ll have them prepare us something lavish but first I want to test you on what you’ve learned from my teachings." That demon like glint returned to the centre of Khione’s eyes as she donned her battle lust persona. It was now Frost’s turn to endure her tests, a quarry that initially had Kiba revelling in joy but after remembering his master’s personality he understood that such a thing was more of a blessing than a curse for him.
With Frost journeying into the unknown and more importantly to somewhere that was currently beyond her reach Khione wanted to make damn sure he was in his absolute best state before setting off. She forced him to use all three stances of the [Lunar eyes] as well as utilise the base movements that he learned yesterday only letting him off when she was satisfied.
"I’d rather you remain here and train for another few days, weeks, months or even years but since that’s not possible this will have to do." Khione reluctantly gave him a passing grade.
"Did you just say years?" A few days maybe, a week perhaps but years by then he’d likely be catching up to her in terms of strength.
"Let’s get some food, I for one am starving." Khione completely ignored his question as she pranced over to his side and wrapped her arm around his. "Come on Kiba time for me to show the hospitably that befits my role as your mistress." She called towards Kiba who had perfectly recovered from his earlier ordeal but despite that still looked at her with no small amount of fear.
’They’re demons, they’re all demons.’ He missed Nanna and Loki; they were the only ones in the family he could count on to lavish him with pampered affection....food did sound pretty good though.
Three stomachs roared to the high heavens as Khione, Frost and trailing several steps behind, Kiba made their way towards one of the unoccupied dining rooms.
Although it was to be his last day in Niflheim Khione made it clear that she didn’t want to share his presence until the very last moment. Not even Freyja was allowed to intrude on their time together and certainly not her father who was in for a world of hurt the moment Frost left through the realm’s gates.
Within no time at all thanks to Khione’s heads up dish after dish filled with flavour and a great deal of life energy graced the table, a veritable feast for just the three of them and the last meal that she’d get to share with her man for quite some time. Khione thus instead of sitting somewhere that offered more space chose to sit next to Frost, their shoulders and legs constantly touching.
"I actually wanted to introduce you to someone before you left but it seems that she either forgot or she’s preoccupied with something." Karolina was supposed to be here this morning so she could meet with the man who had turned her good friend into a maiden in the depths of love but so far there no word had been send. She didn’t think she would have really forgotten given that they just discussed it last night so that left....suddenly a pink blush donned Khione’s dark cheeks as she thought of something.
’Well she did say she was going to get some loving.’ Her friend had been stressed for days and now after being forcibly put to work she wanted to release that pent up frustration thus she likely engaged in carnal affairs with her wife, affairs that probably ran longer than intended given their recent restraint...perhaps even still running...her blushing become even more pronounced as she naturally started to picture certain things, things that before Frost entered her life would be entirely alien to her mindset.
"Oh who would that be?" Frost noticed the blush on her cheeks but thought it had something to do with her introducing him as her fiancé to her friends and not because of some provocative images, he underestimated the depths of her corruption.
"My good friend Karolina, someone I’ve known since childhood. A super talented smith who helped me prepare a special surprise for you." She answered after shaking her head from side to side, ridding herself of those alluring thoughts.
"A surprise." Frost beamed with anticipation, curious to know what sort of surprise Khione prepared for his send off.
"Wipe that look off your face you’re going to have to wait until later, I’ll hand it over alongside the glaive I promised you." Frost looked like a child begging to get his present before his actual birthday, but such puppy dog eyes had no effect on Khione....well maybe a little.
’So adorable.’
"My glaive, I was worried you had actually forgotten about that little wager of ours." Shortly after they met Khione challenged him to endure the pressure from her prized aura resistor for a full five minutes without collapsing, succeed and he’d earn a prize from the palace’s treasure vault, fail and he’d owe Khione a favour. He won the gamble and thus Khione promised to supply him with a quality glaive, something he was in dire need of given the state of his current one. The [Wolf howling at the moon] which was forged by Borris Darksteel, an entry level 4 star weapon was unusable, the damage sustained during his ’fight’ against the artic Zu placed it in a state of near disrepair. An accomplished smith would need luck and a great deal of time if it was to regain its former strength unfortunately time was the one thing he was lacking.
"Did you really think I’d stiff you on a single weapon....you do understand who I am right?" Even if it was a hundred weapons of 5 star or even 6 star quality it’d be nothing but a single hair from her luscious locks.
"A spoiled Princess that always gets what she wants." Frost replied almost instantly without a single ounce of fear which of course earned him a harsh pinch on his leg, a pinch so hard that it felt like his flesh was being torn from the bone, but he resisted the urge to groan in pain.
"You’re not wrong but the way you said it pisses me off hmph!" Khione couldn’t deny the truth in his words she was spoiled after all, never really want for anything.
Kiba who was neck deep in his plate of food couldn’t help but look at his foolish master, it was like he wanted to spark her wrath. He did the exact same thing with Maya and Daki, teasing them to the point that they explode and attack him....perhaps that was his kink but after thinking about it the end result usually ended up with him enjoying a bountiful feast in the bedroom, maybe he was on to something.
The young tiger cub was starting to enter the years of what would be equivalent to a humanoid teenager, it was natural that he would begin having ideas about such things especially given the proclivity of his master.
