Barbaric Spouse, Descry the Night's Lure-Chapter 76: Scene LXXVI

The noise of the men was loud enough to cross the stoned walls containing the training square.

He was already satisfied by the sights and graze he gained from his woman and the loud cheers from the men instigating more violence enhanced his excitement to join the brawls quickly and end them immediately, so he could go back and feel the flesh of paler shade than his that incited dangerous hunger... that wished he could bite it and wildly devour the delicious taste in a manner she would remain complete to enjoy her feminine essence many times more.

Therefore, he burst of the gates opening at his fast pace and the flash of his hand that immediately took grasp of a near fighter’s nape to plunge it with his force into his opponent’s face, stealing the axe of this last one as he stammered with a broken nose, to then take the spare one his leg carried to bang their iron. Calling for everyone’s attention with its thunderous sound.

*Shwing!!*

"cough.. ugh!... shit...."

"... Do I have your attention, imbeciles?"

The men gradually regained equilibrium as some stood from the ground where they had been smashing their fellow savages while others simply lay unconscious and hopefully... not dead.

"... Usually, this would be a fun scene I would join... But... ’cause of you brutes I’m missing on true enjoyment, cursed waste of this fucking earth!!" — Throwing the axe he stole so it would hit next to the face of the one who simply observed, Aslak fiercely growled enraged. — "Kir! What were the orders!"

"... That I would choose few men."

"So." — Walking few steps closer, Aslak hit a man in the shield he held respectfully. Making him bend in a restrained groan at the pain. — "Why did I come to find this?"

"... They didn’t like it. But, what can I do? We really are brutes and have fun like this." — Taking out the axe from the chair he had been seating on Kir said as he stood.

"Honestly, it turned out well. From those I had chosen... Some are laying on the ground. I should choose from those standing now."

"Then do it and start preparing... I’ll say this now since we are all here. My wife will remain here. As you all must know she can’t join us into Sortnafeigr."

"....."

"I want to know. What... Are you men’s thoughts on my woman?"

The men shared some glances, unsure to be the first ones to speak. However, it did not take long for one brave to start telling.

"She’s a fine woman."

"Too fine... And from the north... Yet She suits Sortnafeigr."

"... What else." — Concealing pride, Aslak requested more opinions.

"Our Lord’s woman seems weak!"

"......" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"That indeed..."

"Men!... I thought the same at first. But I changed my mind." — A straightforward guard intersected. — "I was there when those annoying guests arrived. Would you had seen it, you wouldn’t say she’s weak. I even laughed ’cause of how the Ma’am showed them their place. HaH! And they were supposedly her kin!"

"Ah... I was there too... Her body looks easy to break. But her presence is nice and strong. It’s odd to see no roughness but..."

"Do you all agree with that?" — Aslak then calmly inquired. Receiving an almost unanimous nod of silent agreement. — "Very well. Your Archduchess is weak compared to the women of our lands. She is remaining here... And you will serve and respect her as you do with me."

"Our loyalty remains, Your Empowered Grace!"

"We would do it even if not said by your mouth!"

"That’s good... Follow her orders and protect her if needed. Was I to come back and learn anything contrary to my order, only your cocks will remain so the crows can choke on them."

"....."

"Show off your strength to your new lord. You’ll find it quite pleasing if she praises you... Ask those below the boulder if you’re curious."

Turning his back on the men to depart, Aslak felt glad about the small mutters in disbelief his comment provoked.

The village’s visit was not a simple introduction. Ewelina was meant to meet those savages enjoying the children’s training. For those were the current elder survivors of the Framikanna ritual and if convinced by her introduction the woman’s recognition as another tribe leader was already on course to be gained.

"If Kleifar found her pleasant... Our lord’s woman..."

"The earth may be welcoming her wholesomely..."

"Old Nols. Have anyone heard anything?" — The men whispered to each other as they observed placed in their spot the walk of their Archduke.

Yet he heard. And spoke one last thing before truly vacating the training square, smirking victoriously at the many men.

"She’s my lung."

"!!!!"

"The warlock, that’s what I believe from what he said... Your Lord found his lung, men. Care for it or I won’t breathe."

*******

The man rushed to their chambers. Feeling accomplished to leave between guttural cheers the Jazhara’s guards excitedly uttered at the announcement of the warlock’s words.

His strides were wide and decisive. And the path to their chambers thankfully felt short thanks to the raced anticipation his whole body experienced.

The doors of the chambers did not stop his speed. Instead, to his strong opening of them, they consequently closed to the thunderous motion with as impactful sound.

Her back was seen, seating on the opposite edge of the mattress, simply covered by a thin fabric.

It was soon that the bang of closing gates reached her. Causing the jump to his entrance, which was lovely to witness along with the dainty turn of her body to see her spouse. Only to become bashful to speak a sentence meant to be interrupted by his motion.

"...You are back–!?"

"You’re still covered..."

"Um... I–"

He had climbed over the mattress to pull her arm. And through the pale shade of the gown, a mischievous peek of a round shape with a marvellous peak became visible.

"It’s alright. If you show me it’s better."

"! Mh...!"

Aslak came forward to the tasteful sight of a tender breast. And leaning on the woman’s visage, his other hand intruded under her cover... to touch his wife’s tempting figure as it also made the silk fall from the one shoulder... as it traced to reach her smooth back... Pulling her closer as he kneeled on their bed to kiss her once again as if days had passed since their last graze of lips.

"...hmph... Haa..... *nibbles*... Ewelina..."

Fascinated by the feel of her skin under his hand, Aslak sighed as he lowered her slowly on the furs. As her hands also grasped his arms, overwhelmed by the passionate arrival of the man.

Drowsy eyes watched him settle on top of her, heated by how he went down to feel more of her skin and scent... to then open completely the gown of the woman and take off the shirt hindering their absolute closeness and nude feel of the other’s warm skin.
