Chapter 40- A Cold Jorney (3/3)

- Berk Island (Temporary Capital of Dragon's Wood) - Grand Harbor -

(Zagreus PoV)

Argh, how I hate waking up early. In case it wasn't obvious enough, I am not a morning person.

*Crrrr*

What am I doing now? Well, I am dragging some boxes of supplies onto the boat along with Dagur and Fishlegs.

Since although the Kingdom of Arendelle is less than 3 days away, the Dragons need to rest before the battle and we still need to take some supplies that are in short supply there. Like Weapons and food.

And obviously I am taking my newest weapon in my inventory, my Enchanted Warhammer. The Axe was made of mostly Black Iron and was filled with enchantments that increased its attack power.

Unfortunately I was not able to reach the level needed for more complex enchantments, such as flying and so on.

But back to the present, it is already decided who will go on the boat with us. First, my three brides, that is obvious. Followed by the messenger and his guards, who are still not used to Dragons and are trembling with fear at being near them.

LOL, at least Alduin is having fun making fun of them.

I made sure Dagur came with me, the guy is a genius and I need him there to help me, which he quickly accepted.

Fishlegs was helping us but has already made it clear that he is not going on this adventure, apparently his dragon is close to laying eggs and he will have to stay.

That leaves the rest of the team, Hiccup and Ruffunut are certainly going on this one, by order of the King. Snotlout and Tuffnut as my loyal bodyguards, followed me on this one.

"Zagreus, is there any way you can help me carry these boxes?"

My thoughts are interrupted by the sweet voice of my dear Heather, and as soon as I look at her, I get lost in her beautiful green eyes. And I can't stop myself from appraising her beautiful body, thank all the Gods for how lucky I am.

And for curiosity purposes, this is Heather's Status.

「Status」

And after analyzing her Status, I reply to her.

"Sure! Alduin, give me a hand here." And of course I called my companion Dragon, because I must carry everything alone when I can share with him.

And even though he complains, Alduin still helps me with the boxes. And so, after some quick goodbyes and the usual guidance by Shifu. We set off towards the Kingdom of Arendelle, to fight a war against a mad warmonger.

- 2 days and a few hours later -

After long and boring, and put boring in that, days. I am not saying that nothing happened, on the contrary, it did.

Like for example, a large group of Scauldron's passed by us, but I quickly resolved this by talking to them and stroking their necks.

But other than that, nothing happened. I was so bored that I took a bath in the freezing water to kill the boredom. The poor messenger almost had a heart attack when I did that, LOL, it was funny.

And right in front of us, we can finally see the coast of the Kingdom of Arendelle, and I'm not going to lie, the place is very beautiful.

Even from this distance I can already see that the structures are well built in the European style, which was quite common for a town that lives from trade and received many visitors. Mainly from the neighboring countries that were obviously Europeans.

It is coastal and you can see the great fishing activity that the kingdom has, it was early in the morning, so we decided to dock soon.

And at first glance I can already tell, the defense of this place is horrible.

No boat tried to stop us, or warned us at a distance so that we could identify them. Although this is not all bad, since as soon as we docked, we were already surrounded.

But if we were really enemies, we would have done damage long ago. Well, let's put that aside for now, and focus on the now.

"We come here in peace, accompanied by Mr. Thomas at your King's request.

Hearing his name being called by me, the messenger Thomas comes to the bow and identifies himself to the soldiers, who quickly inform one of his superiors.

The superior, in his armor of what I assume to be Frost-Steel, walks up to us with a completely serious expression. And he was obviously an experienced warrior, either from the scars covering his face, or from the aura he unconsciously lets out.

He had a few red hairs, and eyes of a green color, so dark that they seemed to be black. He bows slightly to us and says.

"Esteemed guests, our King and Queen await you!"

I quickly use 'Wise's Eye' and my eyes sparkle for an instant and a familiar screen appears in front of me.

Ohoo, so that's one of the reasons this Kingdom has lasted so long. A Sword Prodigy as a General, this guy is simply a monster. ( Literally, the guy is a normal human in a relatively normal world. Like, no power and stuff, and he almost reached level 5 in Blade Mastery. For those who don't know, in my story the skills have only 9 levels, from 1 to 4 is the mortal level, 5 and 6 is supernatural. So, my respects to this guy).

As we follow the General to find the King and Queen, I keep asking the system while keeping my face with a blank expression.

'System, why is his sword ability ranked 4/5? Can you explain it to me please?'

[Yes, Host. He is ranked that way because his attacks lack power, he already has the experience and technique to be considered level 5].

'So if he had access to a power system or was on a higher world with magic or ki, he would be a mivel 5 and even higher?'

[Theoretically yes! With the talent that has been evaluated, he is the most talented in sword art that you have ever encountered Host!]

Whooou, that's really impressive.

'We have arrived, inside this room are the King and Queen of Arendelle. Everyone can come in, they are already waiting!"

Damn it, are we there yet? I really got distracted this time.

Well, at least I won't be the central figure here. Don't get me wrong, I am the protagonist and I like it, but I hate politics.

Having to keep smiling in a fake way and acting like someone I'm not, I hate that, but I understand that it's necessary. It's like an old man with a long white beard said, it's for the greater good.

Argh, how I wish I had an acting skill right now. Sigh, no use crying over spilled milk, I'll try to learn later.

*Clank, Crrrrr*

The great gate of the throne room opens, and a simple but still very elegant hall is shown.

In the Hall, two wooden thrones with exquisite jewels lay above a platform. Showing superiority.

The man with the larger throne, wore a golden crown with sapphires. I have full assurance of my masculinity to say that the king was handsome, he had blond and slightly pinkish hair, reddish white skin, a mustache, and black royal clothes.

On the man's left side, a slim young woman with white skin, red hair tied up in a braid, blue eyes, and cute freckles on her face. Overall, a beautiful woman.

And on the King's right side, on a smaller but still exquisite throne. The Queen, and I must say, wow. The Queen possesses stunning beauty, she had brown hair tied up in a bun, violet dress, blue eyes, white skin.

And from what I see, her daughter is standing next to her, well, she and her daughter look like sisters if I didn't already know it was her daughter. Elsa looks identical to her mother, if not for her platinum hair and her skin whiter than snow. She had a very ethereal beauty and ... gives me the feeling that she is not only human?

Whoa, a spirit? A fucking Elemental? That's really impressive, said the half Dragon demigod. How ironic.

"Mr.Zagreus? Is there something you need?"

Elsa asks me, and I just realized that I had been looking at her for a long time.

Even my own group, especially my women, even the King and Queen are staring at me.

"Forgive me, King and Queen. But I just got lost in the immense beauty of Princess Elsa, the rumors don't even come close to describing such beauty." As soon as I say that, Princess Elsa smiles politely, but quickly returns to her usual vacant expression.

If it weren't for the system showing me her shallow thoughts, I would have thought she didn't like what I said.

[Happy, confused, embarrassed].

I smile slightly at this, and quickly continue to say while bowing slightly.

"I promise that won't happen again, Your Majesty!"

As soon as I apologized and explained myself, the King had a wry smile, proving that this kind of situation was common. While the Queen just laughed, happy with the compliment.

The conversation flowed smoothly, Hiccup had become a good conversationalist on these occasions, for a pacifist like him, it is a much needed skill.

The King and Queen asked a few questions related to my achievements as General and Leader of the Dragon Knights, which I answered with a smile on my face.

They also asked about my draconic lineage, of which I just smiled. Like the good politicians they are, they understood that I didn't want to answer and continued their conversation with Hiccup.

After a few minutes of conversation, we arranged a meeting at dawn the next day.

We said goodbye and were guided to our respective rooms. Hiccup and Ruffunut stayed in their own room, and I wished them well, which resulted in a blushing Hiccup and a giggling Ruffunut.

Snotlout, Tuffnut and Dagur stayed in different rooms, while my wives and I stayed in the same room.

We are still in the castle, more precisely, on the second floor. Having the beautiful view of the whole city through the windows.

Astrid and I had already consummated our relationship, we were going to wait, but it never turns out as we imagined.

And Heather is insisting during the whole trip, she seems to be feeling inferior and jealous. So today this will be resolved.

Astrid and Tigress are out of the room for now, I had already talked to them to give Heather her first time privacy.

And here I am, in my bed. Waiting for Heather to come out of the bathroom.

*Sound of door opening*

And as soon as I look towards the bathroom, I have no regrets.

Heather, a beautiful woman with black hair, emerald green eyes, and healthy white skin. She was wearing beautiful black lingerie that barely covered her body.

She slowly walks towards me and with a huskier voice than usual, she says in my ear as she sits on my lap with her legs around my back.

"Make me yours, Zag!"

And oh boy. I like to make wishes come true, and that's what I did.
