Chapter 1149: Celebrations
Chapter 1149: Celebrations
"Welcome back dear! Everyone too! I see everyone is fine, was the battle hard?"
Nia ran to my side once we arrived, hugging me, and kissing me with her delicious lips, I happily received her hug and her kiss, she seemed to have become slightly upset I didn't bring her along, but it was nice she felt better now.
"Nia! Yes, it was very, VERY hard, actually..." I sighed. "I thought we wouldn't have made it. But I was able to awaken something within me, mostly thanks to everyone's efforts and mine combined. And, well, we can talk about that in the feast."
"Yeah!" Nia nodded, and then glared at the gorgeous, very tall, and slightly muscular blonde by my side.
Now that I realized, Frigga was packed with muscles, she had a beautiful, feminine, yet chiseled body. I guess she was truly a Norse woman, to be honest.
But I have to resist her charm, I can't be lusting for Odin's wife!
And Nia was glaring at her with a slight amount of jealously, grabbing my arm tightly. "Who. Is. She?" she smiled at me with a slightly threatening smile. "Maria?" W-What is this sensation? Is she actually a jealous woman? But I have so many partners...
Does she only accept them because they came before her, but anything new... is not too well received? I guess she's kind of like Partner.
Anyways, it's not even like I am going to start kissing Frigga or something, we're technically enemies.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Actually isn't she more like a prisoner of war or something? Yeah, let's go with that logic.
"She is the woman we found after defeating the King of the Depths..." I said. "Um, I think she might be someone very strong, she was inside of him, we assume she might have been the fallen star."
"What?! Really..." Nia looked at Frigga with her sharp emerald eyes. "Okay then... You must be very tired and confused, dear, are you alright?"
Oh, she became much nicer now.
"I-I'm fine-Eek!"
Frigga quickly was frightened by seeing Nia's overly serious gaze, she was nice in the outside, but her gaze was cold like Emeraldine.
"Why do all of you mortals make such scary faces..." Frigga sighed.
"Mortals?" Nia wondered, rising an eyebrow.
"A-Anyways! She needs some rest, and so all of us, so let's go back to the castle!" I said. "Is there a feast being prepared? We're starving. Arthur?"
"Ah yeah! There's something being made, also there'll more food given to everyone in a celebration for the rest of the citizens," Arthur said. "So everyone will be celebrating, isn't that nice?"
"Yeah! Let's go! Time to kick back and relax for once, we've done enough, everyone!" I roared, as the people cheered up.
"WOOOHHH!"
"Our saviors!"
"Thank you for everything you've done!"
"You're so amazing!"
"Please take this gold I found in my house."
"Here, grab these legendary items I had stashed away please!"
And they were all so rich they didn't know the true value of all their treasures, they kept gifting me things made of gold and magic items with spirit jewels and such, that would all -cost a lot.
But I wasn't so humble as to not accept it, so I happily received anything they threw at me, it was going to become capital for my little town, so it was necessary.
"Thank you, thank you!"
As we made our way inside the castle while people threw confetti at us and also all sorts of valuable treasures, the King, the Queen, and the two Princesses greeted us with wide smiles.
"Thank you so much!"
And then they prostrated before us and put their foreheads over the floor.
"E-Eh?! Hey! Why are you doing that?!"
I was shocked.
"This is a bit excessive!"
Emeraldine agreed.
"Haha, yeah, prostrate yourselves,"
Partner enjoyed it...
"What's wrong with you?"
Lucifer was... well, he found it awkward.
"Please, you're rulers, there's no necessity to do this!"
Jonathan was humble and tried to help them stand up.
"I am sorry, but we thought it was necessary," said the King. "You're practically Gods and everything..."
"Yes, isn't Lady Maria a goddess?" wondered the Queen. "You've done so much for us already too! After talking about it, we realized how unjustly we've treated you! if you're truly a goddess, we should have prostrated ourselves right away! Forgive us!"
"Y-Yeah, sorry for being bratty back then!" Princess Rose said.
"I agree... she was bratty! I'm sorry!" Aqua said.
"Hey, which side are you on?!" Rose complained.
"Ahem! That is enough," I said with a smile, stand up. "I might have obtained a god's powers, but I don't consider myself a god. The gods of this world, the gods of Yggdrasil, most of them are long gone. The new gods are nothing but fakes that stole their powers. I am no god, I am merely another person, just... a very strong person!"
"V-Very strong wouldn't make it..." said the King. "But still, thank you so much, we owe you our lives, our kingdom... everything."
"If you ever feel like you want to live somewhere and can't find a place, please come here, we will welcome you and anybody you bring with open arms," said the Queen.
"That's right! We could even let you live in the castle- Or build a new castle for you!" the King
nodded.
"I've noticed you like women too, you can marry my two daughters!" the queen said. "I promise you they will be good wives!"
"E-Eh? Mom?!" Rose panicked; she clearly didn't want that.
"I wouldn't mind~" Aqua smiled coquettishly, biting her lips.
"I-I am not taking any girl for marriage, thank you," I sighed. "And thanks for the offer. I actually have my own small town I take care of... but I have a few too many enemies, so if I ever need to relocate them. I'll be counting on that offer."
"Of course, leave it to us!" said the King.
"Yes, yes!" the Queen said. "Very well, now that we've done talking, who is that lady with you, I wonder? She has such a strange... divine aura to her."
"She's... Err, the fallen star," I explained. "The King of the Depths ended swallowing her, gaining tremendous new powers as a result."
"Hello, nice to met you," Frigga said. "I... don't remember my name, nor who I am... But I am eternally grateful for those that saved my life, and I am also deeply sorry, if I caused you any
trouble."
At least she knew her manners.
The King and the Queen nodded.
"I see, I don't know what you might be, perhaps a Valkyrie? You possess such an aura," said
the Queen.
"Whatever you are, girl, welcome to our Kingdom," said the King. "You are just another victim, so don't feel sorry about anything! Please, I hope you can join us in our feast!"
"O-Of course... I am so hungry, thank you so much," Frigga smiled, learning about the honesty and good hearts of the mermen. "You're too nice..."
Like that, after introductions and cancelled arranged marriages, we moved to have a big feast.
The mermen started signing their beautiful songs, creating a festive atmosphere, as a
gigantic feast of seafood awaited for us.
Today I'm pigging out, time to celebrate!
