The Goddess' Champion

How long has it been, he doesn't know, apparently Aurelianne is the one that decides when it is the night and when it is the day, his body wasn't fatigued at all after training magic for such a long time seeing slow results.

"You can't allow yourself to be misled, I'm loading you with mana just so you can continue, but in reality all of this training would be way more taxing…" She explained with concern.

"I get it."

"We should stop for now, you can rest in the house and continue later, alright?" She has been insisting on this for a while now, but he is stubborn and wants to keep going.

The Goddess test was simple, the river's current is slow and steady, ease enough for someone as weak as the current him to try and stop it still, it would be enough to classify as a First Stage Nascent Magus.

Difficult enough, Constantine hadn't thought of a way to do it, just thinking on the water stopping wasn't going to work.

Hence he focused on his control of water first before even hoping to attain such a feat.

Standing in front of a tree, he raised up his hand and several drops of water formed there, his last lesson from the goddess.

She sat nearby regally, watching him while the birds chirped as if to accentuate her curiosity.

He concentrated on those drops of water and led them into the tree, then stood there for nearly half an hour, even sweating at some point.

Aurelianne could feel the magic being used, but she didn't understand what he is doing, hence she sensed the tree to see if there was anything different with it.

!!!

"W-What…?"

"Could you let me see inside this tree, my goddess?" Constantine asked, panting slightly.

Aurelianne's eyes were shivering as she regarded him, her hand moved and the tree started to move, the stem opened as if it was a door, she truly was capable of doing anything here.

Inside the tree stem, they were several, but they were as clear as the day.

Void dots.

"How did you do it?" She inquired with a glare, not one of wrath but rather, an inquisitive one, not being prominent in the elements of water, she could only imagine what he did.

'It's the same principle of 'compression' but how can he- and for such a wicked attack!?' The happenings of his life resurfaced in hers.

The result of living a wicked life of struggle.

"I simply used pressure, the thought of the drops attracting to its centre, creating pressure and therefore, crushing the wood." Tired he moved to the side of the awestruck goddess and sat beside her.

A smile couldn't help but draw itself to his expression, during his times in the royal knight academy, he had thought of ways to use this in combat, eventually coming up with something stupid like a balloon crushed with rocks, it wasn't effective to use in warfare, hence… he slid it down the shelf.

But now, it worked, and it was as simple as merely thinking.

'How can I use this to stop the river?' He thought inwardly, unaware that the Goddess' thoughts were wandering.

'What would happen if that was used in someone else' body? He is still not an overlord, a lot of magic was spent merely for those dots, but were he not a four-way ether core user, such a spell wouldn't be possible… already creating your own spell, and such a gruesome one at that…'

She approached him and kissed his cheek, taking him out of his thought.

'A part of me hoped… you wouldn't have to kill again, but I know in Sandoria… that's not possible.'

"Why all of the sudden?" He asked with a smile, pulling her in his embrace.

"I just want to kiss my champion, can't I?"

"What if I say I don't?~ what if I say you can only kiss me when I'm willing~"

"Then I'd say that's your loss~ also, you're my champion, your body, mind and soul belong to me, if I want to kiss you, you can't reject~" She accentuated her 'dominance' by stealing a kiss right there and then, holding his lips for several seconds in which he could only answer to her passion, it's not like he didn't want to be kissed.

But if she kept doing it several times an hour, he was going to lose it.

They released the kiss and sucked their lips to get rid of that slim saliva string, she held his head still as if ready for a second round.

"Does that mean that I can kiss you when I want too?" He approached to deliver an attack, but she giggled and evaded it.

"Hmmm, that's not how it works, as your goddess, if you want to kiss me, you have to worship me first~" She whispered beside his ears.

"And how do I do that?"

Another giggle was released and she held up one of her breasts, immediately sporting a blush as he held it tightly and squeezed.

"Hmn~ Fondle it, that's how you worship me~"

"You're quite daring…" He grinned and pinched that pink pearl through the slim fabric, she moaned, that was her weakness, but then… he saw something else he didn't pay attention to thus far, it seemed as if her breasts and face had gotten his attention all along that he didn't notice it.

His hand that wasn't playing with her chest moved to her head and touched her ear…

!!!

"AHN!~"

She released a moan like never before, her entire body slumped on him as if she lost all her strength, he was surprised to say the least.

'I-I just her ear…'

"C-Constantine! Y-You can't do that without prior advice!" She literally sobbed and placed her hands on his chest with grief, it wasn't just her ears, but rather, a combination of factors.

"Sorry, I didn't know they were so sensible."

"They are, extremely so… see~" She moved her hand to his head and touched something.

!!!

"AAHH!!"

Needless to say it was wonderful, like a pleasure current spreading through his whole body coming from his ears, it wasn't a lewd pleasure of sorts, rather, something else,

Seeing his reaction, she rejoiced with a profound smile as if she just got her last confirmation.

"You know, elves only allow their partners to hold their ears, and they only react to the one they love… in fact, the more the love, the more intense the feeling." She said those words and kept rubbing his ears until she found herself straddling his lap as he lay down on the riverside.

"Stop!" He wanted to hold her hands, but she smiled and didn't allow him.

"This means that you love me, a lot~" She said with pride and fluttery feelings in her stomach, after all, her reaction had been possibly stronger than his.

"…"

"Can I be completely honest with you?" She asked suddenly, stopping her hands to allow them to rest on his chest.

"Say it…" He felt ashamed, if what she said is the truth, then his feelings had been laid bare, although he wasn't yet clear if it could be called 'love'.

But the attraction he felt was genuine.

Aurelianne is like some sort of god that's not the bastard god, putting all the characteristics he loves the most in a woman, into the most beautiful husk, she was simply delectable.

"When I took you here… I knew we were likely to enter this relationship, you as my champion, I knew I wanted you, but didn't know if you would accept me."

"…"

"I have loved you for thirty years now… back then when you decided to stay alive no matter what for them, that's when my heart finally fell for you… I desired to be treated like that, instead of staying here alone…" She spoke with a degree of melancholy and he caressed her cheeks.

"Only a fool wouldn't be your champion… but back then I was looking old already." It didn't sit well for him that she fell when he was looking like an old dog already.

"Age is just a number for most gods, I'm more than ten thousand years old~" She said it with pride and even moved one hand of his back to her chest.

!!!

"Does this feel like it has been more than ten thousand years?~" She moaned as he fondled again, apparently, she liked her boobs to be played.

And he was more than willing to do so.

"Not at all, I love them and… you too… you give me the feelings as if I had been with you all my life, perhaps… after losing everything, this is what I needed."

"I always thought that I wanted to keep our distance until we knew each other enough, but… I can't stay away from you at all." She confessed, hugging him back, already feeling afraid that he'd go to Sandoria and leave her for who knows how long.

"…" he simply sighed and embraced her waist, caressing her hair as she seemingly drifted into sleep on top of his body, the day became the night all of the sudden and this world, their home.

It would be a wonderful sleep.
