Dungeon of Niflheim

"Alestris, so the king's got you on babysitting duty now." The security commander of the SS. Gwienfieldal mocked one of the sudden intruders with a shit eating grin on her lips before ordering the six guards to vacate her office and get back to work.

"As pleasant to talk to as always Sharon and…" Alestris and his colleague sat opposite the imposing giant of a woman calmly and with the civility expected of men in their station"…It's by the 2nd Empress' orders if you must know…but the King is aware and even supports it."

"….." If it was just one of the Primordial Ice King's random orders that kept the S-ranks in his employ from getting lazy she would have mocked him until his liver collapsed but the 2nd Empress was different.

Sharon being a strong and capable woman herself greatly admired her, saw her as a role model, a goal in which she was determined to work towards.

Everyone fawned over the King, he was the creator of this realm, strong, imposing and unimaginably ancient but he was born that way Freyja however worked her ass off, facing discrimination, untold difficulties, blood, sweat and tears all to ascend to Godhood at an age fit only for prodigies among prodigies.

Freyja was an icon, the ultimate proof that Godhood was truly in reach and not just a legend that people told to allay the fears and frustrations of the young.

Sharon even served in the royal military, worked for and even alongside Freyja centuries ago when she was still mortal, memories she greatly cherished.

If Alestris was under Empress Freyja's orders then she didn't dare to further mock and insult him, a fact he was fully aware of when he spoke.

'Seems she still bitter even after all these years.' Alestris served with Sharon many years ago, he knew of her strength, her abilities as well as her dedication and loyalty to the royal family, Freyja in particular.

Alas an injury, an unsurmountable wall and a feeling of inferiority and shame resulted in her retiring from the military and instead become a highly paid security guard for the rich and powerful. Not exactly her favourite line of work but it keeps her busy and flush in resources, resources that help ensure the growth of her family members and even herself somewhat. More so than her military salary but unfortunately without the honour she held in such high esteem.

"The young Princess is on her first true and proper date with her betrothed, something both the Empress and the rest of her family take very seriously." Highlighted by the fact that two S-rank royal guardsmen were high on their heels, watching and recording their every interaction.

Alestris' colleague even flashed the recording device hidden in his cloak, revealing the extent of interest shown by the royal family.

"…Are you recording now?" Sharon quickly straightened her posture, afraid to show even the slightest bit of immodesty to Empress Freyja and whoever else watching.

"No, the target of observation isn't you so you don't need to worry, your current state will remain unknown to Empress Freyja and the others." The guards assigned to monitor Khione and Frost didn't just consist of Alestris and the man sitting next to him. Another colleague was already in prime position, recording Frost and Khione's intimate actions from a distance, sending the viewing party back in the palace into a riot.

Khione's sisters and two brothers were screaming their heads off in excitement, even Skadi and Freyja after returning from their own intimate escapade had a sparkling glint in their eyes as they nodded in approval.

What surprised them most of all was Khione acting submissive towards his antics rather than flipping out, as though she was thoroughly enjoying being touched and groped by a man. Something that just a few days prior would likely have made her skin crawl and the offender being swiftly punished with an excruciating death.

Her siblings wondered what kind of love potion Frost concocted for their abrasive and violent sister to act so girlish. The envy and jealously in the room was palpable, bottles would need to be brought in to store the amount of vinegar that was leaking.

Even Freyja and Skadi weren't immune to the situation, strongly wishing that it was them being groped by that hunk of a man and not their daughter.

Feeling her sexual appetite hunger so soon after feeding it Freyja had a sudden thought. 'Maybe in the future I can convince her to share.' Frost was highly desirable, and she was already used to a situation wherein love was shared between multiple partners. The thought of engaging in such activities alongside her daughter sent a bolt of electricity through her entire body and a lustful grin formed on her lips. She was determined to test this possibility now that a clear image had been formed.

'Shiv might be an issue though.' The Primordial Ice King was not against intimacy amongst his harem, in fact he endorsed it but as far as she could remember he'd never allowed another man to enter the equation, finding the very idea extremely off putting and even somewhat enraging. Ironic considering he had quite a bevy of women at his beck and call, but the harem never had much issue with it given their husband's stamina and the adventurous spirit of wives like Freyja.

"Don't even think about it, he'd never agree." As if she could read her sister's mind Skadi shot down Freyja's burgeoning hopes and dreams. She'd been with their husband for a lot longer than Freyja and therefore knew more of his turn-ons and turn-offs.

"Booo so boring, he should stretch his boundaries a little more, life's more exciting that way." Freyja suddenly acted like a younger girl, cheery and playful while one of her hands 'innocently' slipped into Skadi's dress. The idea of working alongside her daughter in the boudoir really getting her motor running.

'This damn pervert can she ever be truly satisfied.' Though she internally complained about Freyja's endless thirst in truth she absolutely loved this aspect of her. With her in the harem she felt an energy that had started dwindle reignite after years of stagnation. She was a good influence on her sisters and also their husband.

Freyja pretended to toss away that perverted plan of hers that involved her precious youngest daughter but internally she was determined to test the waters. If sex was off the table she could still be in the room right, a little heavy petting, maybe a kiss or two that should be acceptable no?

Shivali was unaware of the extent of his youngest wife's perverted madness, nor could he predict the amount of stamina he'd need to keep her thoroughly satisfied and away from her delusions.

"Haaaaaa almost gave me a heart attack there Alestris." Upon being told that they weren't recording her Sharon let out a repressed breath, her posture returning to one that was relaxed and even somewhat cocky and arrogant….her usual personality.

"So….what are you here for? it can't be just to inform me of the situation in person. Are you really that bored?" Sharon lit up her cigar as she looked straight into Alestris' eyes, trying to gauge his motives.

"Can't I come and see an old friend?" Alestris was all smiles, his demeanour like an open book.

"….." Sharon continued to stare but saw no signs of anything which both annoyed her and made her feel a warmth in her heart.

"Drink? Smoke?"

"The usual please, Brack?"

"I'm good."

The two Royal guardsmen and former royal guardsmen thus broke out the alcohol and spoke at length about the past, engaging in a bout of nostalgia as the SS. Gwienfieldal broke away from the docks and sailed towards the Modanya current.

There was little in the form of turbulence due to the quality and complexity of the technology used to build the ship, but another announcement reverberated throughout, signalling their official departure.

Frost decided to pull back from his intimate activities on Khione's body when he heard it, feeling as though he had achieved his goals and then some.

He calmed down the Raging Valykrie from her murderous bloodlust, did his best to save the romantic atmosphere, let her become more accustomed to his presence and touch all while getting to grope and feel that dynamite body of hers. It was so addictive, different from Maya's softness and Daki's depth but no less intoxicating.

Despite his best efforts that mighty dragon of his boldly raised its head brutally pushing and stretching the fabric of his trousers to the point that it looked like he was literally pitching a tent.

A reaction that wasn't lost on Khione who's eyes were practically glued to the area, watching it slowly grow and grow in awe and fascination. Feeling butterflies in her stomach as she witnessed the full size of the beast and a strong sense of pride knowing that it was because of her that it became so swollen.

They hadn't managed to kiss yet and their relationship was still in the getting comfortable with each other stage so despite wanting to she kept her naughty hands on more friendly areas, mirroring Frost's actions of groping and caressing, the very reason the thing rose up in the first place.

When the 2nd announcement rang through the two of them had come to same conclusion, if they went any further then they'd lose control of themselves, something neither of them wanted to do at this point in time.
