Conquering His Cold Heart

Maressa gazed at Frost as he bowed, a nervousness and modicum of guilt filling her heart. She and Chana didn\'t exactly interfere out of the kindness of their hearts.

"Please raise your head Lord Frost, we\'re not worthy of your bow." Maressa was a naturally honest person; thus she couldn\'t endure the weight of Frost\'s gratitude.

"My sister and I acted against Kalia and her group because of our own reasons, not to defend the girl." Maressa bowed her head far lower than Frost\'s as she spoke.

"..." A knowing smile grew on Frost\'s lips as he heard Maressa\'s words and witnessed her actions.

Of course he knew about their true motives but that didn\'t change the fact that they helped.

"While that may be true nevertheless you and your sister did try to protect Nanna in the battle and did you not also inform one of my guards about the situation beforehand. These two things were surely unnecessary perhaps even detrimental to your goals, yet you did them anyway so again you have my thanks." Frost stubbornly bowed his head once again.

"This…"

"I\'d prefer it if you just acquiesced to my whims." Frost released a small amount of his royal aspected aura, slightly pressuring Maressa and Chana.

"Haaaaa very well Lord Frost." Maressa was forced to accept Frost\'s thanks and his favour.

"Master the assassins are secure." Khuno who had taken down Kalia with a single blow reported with his arm crossed across his chest.

He and Findley acted very quickly, subduing the enemy, breaking several limbs before passing them off to the ronsos guards.

"Good." An evil glint flashed in Frost\'s eyes as he glanced at the bodies of the assassins being carried by his guards. The five of them would be making fine additions to his prison.

"Lord Frost if I may be so bold…that woman do you intend to kill her?" Maressa though knowing that her actions were rather improper needed to ask.

"….Eventually yes." Frost wasn\'t displeased in the slightest and after ridding his mind of all the evil thoughts aimed at Kalia and her group he turned to Maressa and answered her.

"Good, then we can rest easy." Maressa breathed out a deep sigh of relief, the tension almost instantly escaping her body.

"The Queen of our homeland placed a kill order on that woman, any citizen of Ranullia that crosses path with her and that has at least C-rank strength must do their best to end her dog life no matter the cost or place." Hatred spewed out of Maressa\'s and Chana\'s eyes as the memories of Kalia\'s crimes flashed through their minds. Finally after several years justice had been served.

"Oh interesting….I can\'t give you the right to take her away, but I\'ve got no problem granting you her head once I\'m done with her."

"That….we would be most grateful Lord Frost." Having Kalia\'s head would not only serve as sufficient evidence of the deed but would likely see Maressa and her sisters rewarded.

The sisters bowed their heads even lower this time, enacting a very respectful posture but with their rather revealing attire and their recent visit to the bath house it had a very different effect.

"It\'s just a head no need to bow." Frost had to ardently fight his desire to glance and ogle both Maressa and Chana. Maya and Daki had already caught him more than once paying specific attention to this adventuring group.

"While my guards set out to restore the peace here in the Sleeping Fenrir why don\'t we retire to my office where I can show you my gratitude." Though his words may appear suggestive his meaning was entirely genuine.

"This…very well Lord Frost we\'d be honoured to join you." Maressa couldn\'t help but slightly blush, finding a little expectation in her heart upon hearing his suggestive phrasing. Though it wasn\'t Frost that her eyes were drawn to but the musclebound ronso that was by his side, the one who so effortlessly took down her nation\'s most hated foe with a single swing of his halberd.

Just like her sister Maressa was drawn to those with muscular forms and an abundance of \'hair\' on their body.

Frost and Khuno led Maressa and Chana to the Lord\'s office while Findley handled restoration. The Sleeping Fenrir\'s dining room and kitchen were promptly closed off so a group of ice dwarves could sneakily enter and being the repair work.

Those staying in the rooms and those who were unfortunately dining during the time of the incident were treated for any injuries, apologised to for the inconvenience and offered generous freebies. Money and free stuff was a small price to pay to keep the residents happy and secure.

"Maressa! Chana!" The moment Frost and the rest entered the lord\'s office or rather somewhat of a manor by this point Myrina the youngest of the Amazonian Beauties called out. A group of ronsos guards had guided the two drunk and brawling sisters to the Lord\'s office shortly after Maressa dashed after Kalia.

"Myrina, Freya." Maressa called out the names of her youngest sisters with pure affection, only realising just now that she may have never gotten the chance to see the two of them again.

Her eyes grew red at the thought and silently she wrapped up the two with her large muscular arms, pulling them in close.

"Sis?" Myrina was confused not expecting to be hugged with such affection by Maressa in front of strangers, it was against her nature.

"Just shut up for a minute." Maressa hugged the two of them tighter as she silently relished in their touch. A moment later Chana joined her with a few tears rolling down her cheeks.

Frost smiled in silence, letting the family of sisters enjoy their reunion while he quietly walked to the side of the room where Maya and Daki were waiting for him.

"Did you handle it, is Nanna safe?" Maya asked with no small tinge of concern. Though she and Daki knew about the planned assassination it still made her uneasy. A single thing going wrong, a wrong calculation, a fumble, a lateness of just a fraction of a second and their precious little girl could have been harmed.

"Un she\'s fine, a little spooked but no injuries." Frost even made sure that Nanna didn\'t see the carnage Findley and Khuno wrecked on her attackers so as to protect her from any mental trauma.

"Good, good." Both Maya and Daki breathed out in relief and unclasped their hands. Having to wait here and babysit Myrina and Freya with pleasant expressions was a momentous weight on their hearts.

"I\'ve ordered Kiba to keep her company in the private space but if one of you want to go and comfort her…."

"I\'ll go, Daki will you be fine handling things here?"

"Yeah we\'ll be fine, go to her."

"Thanks." Maya left a moment later, teleporting to the private space once she was alone in the next room. Continue reading at m|v-l\'e -NovelBin.net

While Frost discussed a few things with Daki and Khuno, Maressa regaled to Myrina and Freya what happened and why they were summoned to the Lord\'s office.

"What Kalia was here, and she\'s been captured." Freya jumped to her feet like a cat having her tail stepped on Her skin formed goosebumps and a cold sweat quickly flowed down her neck. Nearly every single citizen of the Ranullia Queendom knew of Kalia, tales of her crimes would fill them with unequivocal wrath, but her personal strength would also fill them with fear.

Both Freya and Myrina weren\'t even C-rank yet, they would have been lambs to the slaughters if they came across Kalia in battle.

"Yes, Kalia the scourge of Ranullia was taken down by the hands of this gentlemen here and Lord Frost." Maressa gestured towards Khuno with a sparkle in her eyes which caused the man in question to slightly start. He was no stranger to such looks; he\'d seen many a women look at his master in such a way.

"Phua hahaha." A poorly restrained laugh escaped Daki\'s lips as she saw the fierce desire in Maressa\'s eyes. She couldn\'t help but look to her side with clear mockery. Frost\'s face was twitching and growing redder by the second under his girlfriend\'s scrutiny.

All this time she and Maya were worried about the Amazonian Beauties showing an interest in Frost but no they clearly liked those with a flair of the wilds.

Internally Frost let out a sigh filled with disappointment, though he\'d likely never act on it he truly did find these Amazonian beauties rather attractive.

He gazed over at Khuno who was looking back at him with no small amount of confusion.

\'Lucky bastard.\' Was all he thought before moving on, if Khuno was their type then good for them and him.

"Shall we get down to business then?" With the youngest sisters being informed of what happened and their little reunion done with, it was time for a proper discussion.

Frost not only wished to grant them a sufficient reward for their efforts but also wished to learn more about this Queendom of Ranullia.
