Conquering His Cold Heart

After catching up with Kiba, Frost returned to the 'baby making room'- a name that he was still in the dark about- to check on his darling orc queen, hoping that she had recovered somewhat. Thankfully it seems that she was quite a bit more robust that Maya in that regard. By the time he returned she was already out of bed and stretching her muscles to alleviate the last of her sensitivity.

"Now that's a sight and a half." Frost audibly gulped and even whistled as his eyes took in the amazing view. Daki was stretching down to touch her toes in nothing but her underwear, emphasizing the massive green moon that he enjoyed oh so much last night. Given that he'd just topped off his energy levels the young man in his prime couldn't help but get aroused.

"Don't even think about it." However before he could get any wild ideas Daki swiftly shot him down with a fierce glare and quick straightening of her limbs. She even went as far as grabbing the nearby silk sheets to cover her ample derriere though the thinness of the fabric seemed to only highlight its prominent shape.

Frost really couldn't resist his urges in front of such a tantalising piece of fruit. With a predatory grin he moved faster than Daki could even comprehend and before she could even squeal in protest Frost had picked her up and held her in his arms like princess.

"Relax I'll be gentle, plus we never did get to enjoy the couple's bathroom hehehehe." With a lustful expression Frost carried his weakly struggling queen into the bathroom.

Daki was completely powerless against him; her body was still rather sensitive thus limiting the strength she could draw from her muscles but more than that her body craved his touch, desperate to succumb to its previous state of bliss.

Thankfully Frost wasn't a complete monster he really did uphold his word, treating her very gently as if she was a fragile piece of art. He caressed and kissed her entire body as he lathered her in soap, leaving no spot unwashed, and Daki being the proud woman that she was couldn't let such devotion go unrewarded.

While he embarked upon his task with gentle thoroughness she choice to use a more intense approach to wash her lover of his accumulated grime. Using her massive chest and bountiful ass she rubbed away anything that didn't belong. Unfortunately her technique was a little too good and Frost being the young stallion that he was couldn't hold back.

An hour later he carried her out the bathroom and laid her on the bed. She was once again worn out and needed to rely on him to carry her but by this point she had grown to enjoy it.

"I'll have someone bring you food." Frost once again donned his robes though a little reluctantly, Daki was truly quite addictive.

"Thanks." Daki pulled herself up, so she was sitting on the bed.

"Since you're out of sorts I'll head out with Kiba for a while, might as well catch up with Lola, Sam and of course my future brother." Frost teased her at the end with a cocky grin.

"Sounds good." Daki's heart thumped at the thought of making their coupling official. "Once I'm capable of moving again I'll sort out the last of my affairs with Chia and Yarrow before helping out with the big send off. Auntie Chia really wants to go all out for some reason."

"Probably because she sees you as a daughter, she practically threatened to rip me to shreds if I ever hurt you."

"Really." She looked up in surprise before a heart-warming smile adorned her lips. Memories of her time as a child, a teenager, a young woman and even recently flashed through her mind. She truly was lavished with love.

Frost nodded his head before leaning over and pecking her on the forehead. "Make sure you say goodbye properly because I don't know when we'll be able to return. I or rather we've got a lot of work ahead of us."

"I will." She kissed him back on the cheek before he left. They didn't engage in too much talking last night but Frost did suggest that there was far more to him than meets the eye. He stressed the sensitivity of his origins and hoped that she would accept him no matter what and keep his secrets. She of course unequivocally accepted his terms, eager to learn more about her lover no matter the story.

Upon leaving the 'baby making room' Frost made his way towards Yarrow's office to inform the man of his itinerary.

"You want to catch up with the rest of family, marvellous though we'll all likely be present at the celebration later it'd be nice for you to catch up with them individually." Yarrow nodded his head, all for Frost's intentions.

"Lola's a bit preoccupied so you might not be able to meet with her, but Sam should be more than free at their home on the fourth floor. The kids will be at school but I'm sure the headteacher wouldn't mind a visit from an accomplished adventurer such as yourself." Frost couldn't hide his rise to B-rank even if he wanted to.

Yarrow and Chia were far too experienced to not notice the change within him.

"Druakai as always can easily be found on the 7th floor, in fact he would probably appreciate a hand. He recently gained a new batch of monster cubs which have proven to be rather… mischievous. Daki was recently helping him out but thanks to your …. activities I don't think she's in any shape to do so." Yarrow presented a knowing smile as he said that last part along with a discrete thumbs up.

He was well and truly impressed by Frost capabilities.

"Well since I am the cause of her inability to work I should probably fill in on her behalf, it's only right after all." The smugness and pride practically oozed out of Frost as he bragged.

"Hehehehe."

"Hehehehe." The two chuckled in a male like fashion before Yarrow sent him on his way. Though he was in the process of handing over his duties to Lola there was still much he needed to do as the enclave's current mayor. A few minutes was all he could afford to his young friend and house guest.

"Kiba, wanna go visit Druakai?" Kiba was still in the exact same position he was earlier, stretching out his back and limbs like a common housecat against the plush bed that was prepared for him without a care in the world. Upon hearing Frost mention Druakai however his ears perked up and the multi-ton tiger jumped to his feet, shedding all his previous laziness.

"Haaaaa I guess I'll take that as a yes." Frost sighed and shook his head before jumping onto Kiba's back under his incessant urging.

Kiba was ecstatic to go and see his adoptive father and mother again. He hadn't seen them in weeks and though he had a lot of fun with Frost and his family he still missed them. He wanted to regale them of his adventures and show off his brand-new skills so they could be proud of him.

With the eagerness of Kiba the two quickly made their way to the 7th floor where most of the enclave's livestock and farms were based as well as Druakai's monster stables.

As they passed through Kranor's many established floors Frost couldn't help but take additional notes, spotting many things he wished to see within his own territory. The divide between areas was especially eye-opening. Without these divides in place the vast levels of living traffic would swarm areas and bring productivity to a halt.

So much went into the development of Kranor that he gained a far deeper respect for the infrastructure that he previously took for granted.

"I'll have to plan ahead well. It's better to have and not need than to need and not have." He regurgitated a saying that cropped up in some of the books he read. The phrase struck a definite chord in him, a policy he was very much for unfortunately doing say came with substantial costs.

"DP, I need so much more DP." His growth was highly dependent on this valuable substance, without it he could not build or develop anything worthwhile. Without a strong source of the stuff he'd quickly find himself being overtaken by his siblings or worse prey for the many powerful individuals and empires strewn throughout Nova.

This was a world where the strong prey on the weak, Dungeon cores where not beyond this concept.

"Roooooaaaaarrrrrrr!!!" The moment Frost and Kiba reached the boundary of Druakai's farm the young tiger let loose a mighty roar that shook the nearby trees, he announced his triumphant return.

A minute later the massive form of Druakai could be seen charging forward with Ruby in tow.

"KIBA!" The giant orc roared with joy as he left deep footprints in the dirt. Druakai missed Kiba with all his heart so the moment he heard his mighty roar he dropped all else and dashed towards him, eager to embrace his absent son.

Frost wisely descended from Kiba's back allowing the young tiger cub to dash forward and crash against Druakai's large frame with his full weight. If it was him he'd likely struggle to endure the tiger's charge, most likely he'd be slammed to the ground with a great deal of excess force.

Druakai however with his over 4 metre height and gigantic muscular frame easily withstood it to the point that he didn't even need to take a single step backwards. He was clearly used to such weight and bore the physique necessary for enduring such a clash.
