Ch 28 Phantom In The Opera

(Filler Ch But Enjoy Anyways)

"Very good now that your brothers ransom is settled, Let's speak about the matter of payment....to leave your Kingdom alone...." I spoke and immediately I saw the rage light back up in the Fat Kings eyes...

"I THOUGHT WE HAD A DEAL." King Aelle stared at me angrily.

"We most definitely have a deal, but if you want my ships to stop harvesting the bountiful fruits of your land.....I will need more....You know what I want." I spoke firmly and looked hungrily at Ealhswith.

"I...I cannot....She is my Wife by holy sacrament....I cannot give her away." The King spoke firmly and slammed his fist in the table.

"I see, Then I hope you die soon so I may claim her for my own." I spoke nonchalantly and sipped on my cup of wine.

"IS THAT A FUCKING THREAT!!!" King Aelle roared out and stared me down.

"Not in the slightest King Aelle, merely wishful thinking.....but your daughter is of age and unmarried, if we make an alliance together imagine what great things you'd achieve...." I spoke like a snake that wriggled itself into his mind.

"No Father!!! Please!!!" Judith shouted out instinctively, She wanted to be the Queen of a Kingdom and give birth to little princes and princesses, not be sold like a mule to a monstrous cannibal pagan who already had four other women....She feared her ideal life was about to slip between her dainty soft fingers.

But King Aelle calmed her with his next words.

"No...No...a princess cannot marry a Pagan, and the bible allows for only one wife to any Man....to offer my daughter to you would be a sin and an insult to her." King Aelle spoke firmly but still remained with a pensive look on his face before speaking again.

King Aelle's day face jiggled as he spoke.

"What if we promise a Union between our families.....you spoke of a son only a year younger than my little Blajea? I would be open to engaging them together after one of your men converts to Christianity, It would be a sign that your Son would be capable of it as well when he grows." King Aelle spoke and it brought a smile to my lips.

I didn't plan on keeping any Oath to this bastard unless it was to Odin himself so I didn't mind.....my Son might get a Princess one day but that will be through his own doing, not mine.

"Very well, I am open to this deal....I will stay the night and leave in the morning." I spoke and he nodded before we resumed eating our supper.

 I turned to look at Judith, she was pretty, with fair skin and luscious hair....she'd be a great Woman once I made her nice and docile.

The massive amounts of points I would gain would be a great incentive as well.

Then I looked over at Ealhswith and wondered if there was a hidden quest for stealing her too...I might as well take both for myself since this Slob King didn't deserve to have either under his roof.

Ealhswith noticed my hungry gaze at her body and did her best to hide herself while her pussy moistened uncontrollably.... She hated the feeling but couldn't stop it in the slightest.

Soon after we finished our meal and King Aelle called two scribes who sat down nearby and wrote down our deal on two sheets of parchment.

Once they were done I signed with a quill in Runic letters which the Royal family marveled at, it seemed such a barbaric way of writing...

After that was done we stood and I said my goodbyes to them beginning with the King as I shook his pudgy hand.

"It was an enjoyable evening King Aelle, I hope we continue a long and fruitful relationship together." I spoke and he smiled wickedly, he had called for reinforcements as soon as Aethelwulf was captured and a few days would be enough to put together a significant force...he planned on betraying me as soon as his Army was large enough.

"Same here Thenn, enjoy your stay for the night in my castle." He spoke then let go of my hand.

I then turned to Ealhswith and took her soft warm hand into mine and gave it a long kiss as I took in her sage and clove scent quite obviously to everyone present, at the same moment I placed a man repellent talisman on her.

The King snarled at the inappropriate sniff of his wife but there was little he could do.

"Queen Ealhswith, if only we were born in different times and different places.....I hope you have a wonderful night and have pleasant dreams." I spoke while looking into her deep gray eyes.

"God willed against it Sir." She spoke while glaring into my white eye as her pussy quivered between her legs.

Then i turned to Judith. "Shame we could not be engaged princess Judith.... but I find fate always finds a way of bringing people together..." I spoke and her face turned pale as she imagined being taken from the Queenship she always dreamed of.

She didn't even respond before I walked away as two maids escorted me to my room.

Soon after I entered I heard bootsteps from about thirty soldiers as they moved outside of my room, they didn't try to enter....they seemed to just be standing guard while I slept here.

Very smart of them because I would be up to mischief soon enough.

After three hours I opened up my system and browsed the store for anything that would help me.

Eventually I spent the hundred points required and a green orb appeared in my inventory.

I withdrew it and a gumball sized glowing green orb appeared in my hand, it was hot with power but didn't sear my flesh...it only felt as if it did.

Without a second thought I tossed it into my mouth and swallowed it whole, it felt as if it burned every inch of my mouth and throat until it reached my stomach then I felt a severe pain in my entire body as if red hot magma was ladled into my chest cavity constantly.

My body writhed and feral groans escaped my lips as I felt as if I were dying several times over.

"GRHHHHHHHHH....ARGHHHHHH..." My grunting continued for a few minutes until it slowly receded, I had blood pouring from my mouth and my fingernails had dug into my palms from the sheer force of my pained spasming.

I panted heavily for a few minutes while the searing great in my chest faded as sweat poured down my body in copious amounts and drenched my shirt completely....I'd need to wash before visiting the Queen.

Soon after I stood from the bed and walked to the door and pulled it open.

The soldiers stationed outside jolted to attention as they grabbed their weapons in a panic, when they saw I was standing there without my weapon or armor they visibly calmed.

"Bring me hot water to wash myself." I ordered and immediately two nearby maids scurried off to fetch it as I shut the door.

After fifteen minutes there was a gentle knock so I opened the door and two trembling maids walked in, one carried a metal pot with hot rocks and the other lugged a bucket of water.

The pot was set down and the clean well water was poured over the hot rocks as it sizzled and steamed, the older maid scurried off quickly and left the other woman there with me.

The maid set down a handful of washing rags and spoke. "D..D.Does..the Sir n...need assistance....." She asked with a trembling voice, I could sense the fear coursing through her veins.

"No, I will be fine..... Here is a token of my gratitude." I spoke and handed her four gold coins.

Her eyes widened and she bowed and thanked me as she clutched the coins in her hand.

I just smiled at her cute face and she scurried out with a barely disguiseable smile after hiding the coins in her clothes.

I stripped them washed off the stench from the orb....I could still feel the faint burn in my chest even now but it seemed that it was all in my head.

Once I was done cleaning off my body I cracked open the window to the room, there were iron bars blocking it....of course there were.

I closed my eyes and willed my transformation.....it took a few minutes since I wasn't used to it but slowly my hands started to become wisps if dark mist.

The transformation slowly spread to my forearms then my entire body.

Before long I was something akin to a wraith as my corporeal body diasapeared and was replaced with a shadowy floating figure.

I extended my hand to my sword that was set on the bed but I found myself unable to grasp the sword for very long before it fell through my wraith hands.

As soon as I willed a weapon long black claws extended from my fingertips, they were made of the same black mist only much darker and compact, they seemed solid while the rest of me was shadows.

I floated to the nearby stone wall and slashed at it with one finger which left a deep gash in the stone as the black claw ripped through it....if I had a face in this form then a deep smile would have been clearly visible.

I retracted my claws and floated through the steel bars of the window and flew outside, I didn't seem to be able to move very fast at first but after flying outside of the walls for a few minutes I learned to control my power far better.

I squeezed through an open window that led to a small storage room for supplies.

I moved to the door and slipped under it, the feeling of my shadow body squeezing under the door was deeply weird but not painful in the least.

I then floated along the torch lit hall for a few minutes before a servant who walked around a corner stopped and stared at my form as he squinted his eyes..

"What in Gods name....what was that...." The servant muttered.

I immediately moved to a recess in the wall and waited.

He walked forward cautiously and looked around the area and stared directly into the corner where I waited.

He stared for a few moments before walking off. "Must have been seeing things....I need some sleep already..." The servant grumbled as he left.

Guess I am still somewhat visible if I'm out in the open....good to know.

I then floated to the high ceiling and floated to the dining room where I last saw the Queen...

Once there I found a few servants and guards inside as they chatted away.

"He was huge, my brother says he isn't human...no man could ever grow so large." One maid with curly blonde hair spoke 

"Of course he's human, that heathen made a pact with Hell is all, keep your crosses on you and pray often to keep his evil away." A young guard spoke and the other maids agreed before an older guard butted in.

"What Hogwash!!! He's a man just like us!!! One well placed stab with my sword and he'd drop dead just like the rest." The Guard spoke and drew his sword from his side as it glimmered.

One short busty maid laughed. "Hahaha as if you'd ever get anywhere near that monster before he cuts you in half Offa, you dummy, I was there when Ealdorman Wigea gave the King his report on Thenn so I know what he can actually do...." The maid said and all their eyes widened and leaned in.

"Oh tell us Anna!!! We want to know what he said!!!" The young guard begged.

And the others pleaded the same.

Anna the busty short maid smiled and stuck out an open hand. "One copper from each of you and I'll tell everything." Anna spoke with a sly smile and the others grumbled.

Offa the older guard complained. "Oh by God's Legs Anna that's a whole tankard of Ale from the tavern!!!" He yelled but the Maid didn't budge.

"It's a fair price, if you don't want to know them I'll not say a word." The maid spoke and crossed her arms as her big tits were squeezed together.

Before long eight copper coins were placed at the table in front of Anna and she smiled and pocketed then all.

"Okay I'll tell.... Ealdorman Wigea and Edgar said their force of one hundred men and a dozen archers faced the heathen warriors who were only half their number... initially they clashed together and it seemed like Wigea and his men would slowly prevail over the outnumbered savages...Ealdorman Wigea could feel the victory over the Heathens within his grasp....Until....." Anna spoke and stopped to slowly drink from her cup of water.

"Don't leave us hanging....finished the damn tale already!!!" Offa gruffed but Anna just smiled and cleared her throat.

"Until Thenn himself emerged from the lines wielding an axe as tall as a man, I heard Wigea speak that Thenn cleaved through four or five of his men with every swing as arms, legs, and heads were scattered all around...but that's not the worst part....." Anna spoke as her crowd was drawn in, all of their hands were trembling and some of the maids had their wooden cross necklaces clutched tightly.

"What....is worse than that..." The young guard asked with wide eyes.

"I shouldn't say, maybe another time....I don't want him to haunt your dreams when you fall asleep." Anna spoke and everyone complained and before long eight more copper coins were set in front of the Sly Maid.

She pocketed them quickly and sighed. "Fine...Fine...I'll tell you." She spoke and immediately the crowd was reeled back in.

I watched all of this in amusement, what a clever girl....but I was after another prize.

I used my senses and instantly picked up the scent trail of Queen Ealhswith, that Sage and Clove aroma made my phantom wraith cock throb.

Soon I was off down the corridor leaving the sly Anna and the gaggle of idiots alone to keep chatting.
