Conquering His Cold Heart

Frost felt a little guilty with his wishy washy answer, but Yarrow and Lola were completely blown away by it. To them his progress was completely astounding, not only were there defences in place, but buildings were also starting to be constructed and divided into their assigned districts.

They had no reason to doubt that a camp situated around one of the new monster lairs, referred to as dungeons wouldn't draw a lot of attention. The main issue was whether Frost could claim the territory fast enough and establish his own fief before the vultures swooped in.

For Frost to say that his territory would be able to facilitate genuine trade within a few months at the earliest to a year at the latest was completely mind blowing. They expected over a year at minimum, likely two or perhaps even three before his territory became ready for external dealings with other territories. The two looked at the young man as if he was full of mystery.

What kind of powers did he command and what level of support was he privy to, to allow such rapid construction. The monster stampede ended only days ago yet already Frost was half prepared to defend his camp from a well-armed force.

"….That's a lot faster than we initially predicted." Yarrow eventually said before turning towards his daughter. "We'll have to alter some of our projections to accommodate such rapid development."

Lola pulled a strained face upon hearing his words. Despite agreeing with him, this obviously meant more work for her. The three continued to discuss topics surrounding Frost's territory given the new timescale.

Around 45 minutes later their discussion was cut short when a loud voice boomed throughout the manor.

"FROST! I'M FINISHED!" Daki proclaimed the moment she completed the last sheet of paperwork causing Frost's lips to form a wild grin.

"Apologies Yarrow, Lola my queen is calling." Frost gave a quick farewell before dashing out of the office, his heart beating with desire.

Yarrow and Lola watched his departing figure with rather mixed emotions, jealously, happiness, hatred as well as anger. While the two of them were here working through mountains of paperwork -some of which that was related to him- he suddenly gets to chill and sleep with his new lover. The world could be so cruel sometimes.

Out of the two of them Lola was especially irked by the situation, her teeth even started grinding against one another as she struggled to restrain her bubbling frustration. She'd been working hard and deserved some release but where was her knight in shining armour or valiant king, at home doing his stupid cooking that's where.

'Stupid Sam!'

"Haaaaaaaa why don't we call it quits for today. You should head home and prepare for the farewell party." Yarrow suggested after letting out a sigh. It was clear that his daughter was no longer in the mood to work and that forcing her would only result in rejection and mistakes. They'd gotten a fair amount done already so ending a little early wouldn't hurt their progress too much.

Lola perked upon his suggestion, her frown of displeasure instantly turning into a smile full of joy. She leaned over and pecked her father on the cheek before thanking him in a cute manner.

"Thank you daddy." Then like she was on a mission she packed up a couple things from her desk and dashed out of the office. Her husband was in for a very nice surprise when she made it home, curtesy of Frost and Daki.

Yarrow let out another sigh when he say the look in his daughter's eyes, she was the spitting image of her mother whenever she was in the mood. Speaking of her mother, a minute after Frost and Lola left the elder rabbit woman sauntered into his office with a gentle smile on her lips.

'Damn my wife is beautiful.' He couldn't help but compare her to a wonderful work of art, just seeing her smile warmed his heart and melted away the stress from work.

Click.

His state of admiring her beauty was brought to an abrupt end when he heard the sound of his office door being locked.

"Chia?" He asked in confusion and a little fear as his wife's gentle smile and relaxed demeanour began to change. Her eyes revealed an intense desire as she scanned her husband from head to toe. She licked her lips in appreciation before pouncing.

"Ahhhhh!" Yarrow only managed let out a short yelp before his voice was silenced by her luscious lips. Daki's desire had clearly spilled over to her, and she wasn't one to ever restrain her desires.

While the elderly couple engaged in their own escapade, Frost and Daki returned to the baby making room to continue their romance. After several hours apart Daki was more than ready to go at it again and Frost was more than eager to test her limits.

A very pink atmosphere filled the manor as the two couples engaged in the most expressive form of love. Meanwhile the servants and workers all helped prepare for the lavish farewell celebration.

A few hours later as Daki and Frost lay in bed together a servant knocked on the door.

"Sir Frost, Lady Daki the party is set to begin in the next 60 minutes." The young servant informed them before vanishing, no servant was ever permanently stationed within the vicinity of the baby making room.

"An hour huh, not enough time for another round unfortunately." Frost whispered as his naughty hands ran over his girlfriend's voluptuous body.

"For you no! But for anyone else it would be plenty."

"Are you complaining?" His hands grew more adventurous as a confident smirk adorned his lips.

"Ahhnnnnn no I'm not ahhhhnnn complaining at all." His green skinned temptress couldn't help but moan as he targeted her more sensitive spots.

"I'm sure they wouldn't mind if we're a little late." He started sensually kissing her body making her feel like putty in his hands.

"N….N….No stop, Frost stop, I'm serious." Eventually Daki worked up the strength to push her lover away. Though she was physically reluctant to do so her mind was firm.

"A few minutes may be enough time for you to get ready but not for me. We girls need to time to prepare our battle armour." Daki pulled herself from the bed with nothing, but the silken bedsheet wrapped around her curvy figure.

Frost was obviously crestfallen at her denial; he looked rather pitiful in fact causing Daki to giggle. "Don't look so down we'll have all the time in the world to enjoy one another's company, what's a few hours compared to that." She lightly kissed her lover on the lips before sashaying into the bathroom.

"You swaying your hips as you walk really isn't helping." Frost loudly complained only to be met with another giggle.

'Damn Maya was nowhere near as teasing. At least she'd blush and fall flat on her face whenever faced with one of my counters.' Daki's ample experience meant there was pros and cons to their interactions. If he wasn't careful he may even end up wrapped around her little finger.

"I don't know why you're still raring to go, you heard her we're done." He lightly snapped at the prominent tent poking through the bedsheets. Unfortunately his words seemed to fall on deaf ears.

To calm down Frost entered the bathroom -doing his best not to look in Daki's direction- and turned on one of the shower cubicles, setting the water to cold.

It only took him 10 maybe 15 minutes to wash his body, tie his hair into a ponytail and put on one of the stylish suits he procured in Furano. Since this was a party he should dress for the occasion.

Though the party wouldn't begin for another 40 minutes or so he was kicked out of the room so Daki could prepare without distraction.

"Guess I'll go and find Yarrow, Sam or Druakai." He assumed that the men would all be ready well ahead of time like he was.

A servant guided him towards a small reception room where the three of them and Ren were all waiting patiently. A game of cards was currently in play, the group was clearly adept at having to wait.

"Frost, the man of the hour, come, come sit and join us, we're playing Realm of Monsters." Sam beckoned him over along with Ren while Yarrow smiled and nodded his way. Druakai however was heavily frowning, it was his turn in the game and he had nothing decent in his hand.

"Ahhhh screw this I forfeit." Eventually he tossed his cards in the air and gave up, causing the three other players to discreetly laugh.

Frost grew quite interested in the game.

"Can you explain the rules?"

"Sure, I had a feeling you wouldn't know." Sam smiled and patted the empty chair by his side. "Just watch the three of us play and I'll explain how it works as we go."

"Alright."

Realm of monsters as it was called was a very popular card game throughout Nova that could be played between 2 to 8 players. Each player could assemble a deck between 30 and 40 cards that constituted of monster cards, spell/skill cards and equipment cards. And far as Sam knew there were over 10,000 different cards in circulation with new ones being generated every year if not every month.

Realm of monsters was a very diverse game that required a lot of strategic skill as there were many, many configurations a deck could take. Element based, spell focused, high quality equipment focus, quality or quantity in monsters and of course a more balanced approach, the possibilities were endless.

The game's cheap cards and widespread availability made it the go to game for pretty much all ages. It was very easy to get a hold of a basic starter deck and play with friends.

Frost grew quite enamoured with the game and after Sam and even Ren showed him the ropes Druakai handed over his deck for him to play with. The giant orc was never that good at the game and had grown tired of being repeatedly thrashed so he willingly let Frost take his place. It was his turn to suffer.
