Arpious of the Planes

Chapter 447 Journey Of The Wistful Princess (4)



"Forgive me. I'll have to show you an unsightly appearance," The knight muttered as her head slowly tilted towards me and scales erupted from her neck and spread to the rest of her body.

It was a horrifying sight. A scene straight out of the torturous hell my mother would always tell me in stories.

Blood sprayed everywhere, and as my knight returned to her original form, the surrounding trees, made from ice and snow below us, were painted in a dark red color.

Everything in sight was bloodied and beaten while I was left shivering in fear, as this is what would've happened to me if I genuinely angered her.

"My sweet princess… shall we head off now?"

After she returned to her normal appearance, she bent down and put out her hand, ready to help me up.

"P-Please don't eat me," I begged as she had completely devoured the other ice drake, leaving me utterly stunned before me.

"Your mother has done much worse," She chuckled, and seeing how I could barely even lift up my arm, she picked me up by my armpits like I was a child.

"I don't want you as my guard," I muttered, unable to look the woman in the eyes.

I said this honestly, but this time the reasoning changed as I was terrified of this woman rather than annoyed by her.

To be honest, I wouldn't even dare to annoy her anymore, as being digested by such a horrific being must be horrible.

"My apologies, princess, but I am unable to do that. I was given a mission by the queen and will fulfill it to the best of my capabilities… though, if I may comment… if you think what I did was bad, then you should see your mother fight at her strongest capabilities,"

"You've seen her? But she's just a blacksmith. How could she be more terrifying than that?"

"Oh… I'm talking about your other mother. The one who is a siren…." She replied, and my heart nearly dropped into my stomach.

"S-Stop kidding around with me… have you even seen her before?" I chuckled lightly as the knight helped adjust my clothes.

I decided against wearing a pretty dress, more something suited for combat which I absolutely loved as it not only fit my style, but it was practical for any surprise fight… though I might not get to use it with such a powerful knight around.

"Have you seen her before?" The knight quickly flipped the question around and directed it right back at me.

"Yeah? Of course. I mean, she is my mom. Compared to everybody else, she is much kinder and nicer to me than my other mom. She might've left, but during the time that I was with her, she was always working hard and realized her mistake when she noticed how she had been neglecting me… though, it's kind of ironic that she left again,"

"Allow me to tell you something… Your mother is the strongest being on this plane behind the new frost drake princess. And, her brutality is unapparelled,"

"What makes you say that?"

"I had the opportunity to go on a hunting trip with her in tandem with a few more knights who were dying to test their skills within the forest of ice. And your mother ripped through everything, leaving nothing behind. She would sometimes even eat the monsters alive to obtain their skills but be disappointed as the skills were too weak for her to absorb,"

"R-Really? So she was just like that because I was her daughter?"

"Of course… Now, shall we get going? Staying here any longer, and we'll be bound to get caught by somebody,"

After a few days of walking, we rested in a pretty clear snowy prairie where a blizzard looked to be approaching in the distance.

"Don't worry about that. I can protect us from the blizzard, but walking through it would be absolutely horrible…."

"Are you underestimating me again? I can walk through that damn blizzard. My mom put me through harsh training while I was assisting her in the blacksmith workshop… I can withstand pretty much everything," I smirked, but Quincy's eyes refused to acknowledge the pride in what I said.

"Alright, sit down. I'll set up the campsite,"

"Wait, let me help. You've been doing all the work the past couple of days… I-I just want to help out,"

"No can do. You are the princess, and I am the knight. I musn't let your hands get sullied by even the slightest bit of work,"

"I told you to stop treating me like a princess!" I shouted, but the knight still refused to acknowledge me as anything else… I was almost an insect with a tiara in her eyes.

But, after careful consideration and staring at my determined expression, she let out a long sigh that pierced through the freezing atmosphere.

"*sigh*... Fine… Collect wood for the fire and set it up if I'm not done with the tent by then…." Quincy said after placing down her massive pack of supplies.

A smile permeated through my face, and I quickly followed her instructions.

And only an hour later was everything set up with the blizzard still a few miles into the distance.

It might've been approaching us at an insanely fast pace, but we still took this chance to warm up with a very cozy flame.

"Are you sure you don't want your sleeping bag yet? I can move you into the tent once the blizzard is about to hint,"

"No… I wanna talk with you some more," I muttered but couldn't help the itch that continuously bugged me, forcing me to let out a long and tired yawn.

"A princess being so tired is unsightly,"

"Can you please stop calling me a princess while we're out here in the wilderness…?"

"I will not,"

"But a few days, you had that burst of emotions where you said you didn't care. I mean, we are all the way out here, so why does it matter?" I taunted the woman, but all of a sudden, she stood up once again and walked over to me.

Her eyes were a bit cold but nothing threatening, so I kept up my expression of confidence, still expecting to defend myself if need be.

Her slender hands reached down to my face and cupped my chin, her normally expressionless face warping into that of a seductive smile.

"If I were to refer to you as something else, we would be equals,"

"And that is what I want," I responded, attempting to look away from her chest that she seemed like she intentionally revealed.

"Well, I wouldn't be able to stop myself from eating you right up," She muttered, her voice as sweet as honey.

"Oh? You wanna have a go with me?"

I immediately matched her energy as I let out a little seductive smirk, but just before my hand could wrap around her pale neck, her tongue flickered against my ear.

"Such a cute little thing shouldn't be acting so crude," Quincy chuckled before retracting her face and pinning my arms above me.

I couldn't move no matter how hard I tried, so I instantly muttered,

"What the hell? How dare you do this to me,"

"Oh? I thought you wanted to be equals. Where did all of that talk go?" She chuckled once more before seemingly going in for a kiss.

Quickly, I shut my eyes and softened my lips, but her own lips dodged mine, and she gave me a peck just beside my salivating mouth.

"Oho… You were ready for a kiss. Come on, show me how to be a dom," She chuckled but still wouldn't let me go.

"Then let me go,"

She didn't respond as she began to kiss and suck on my neck, leaving bruises all along me while her fingers worked their way across my chest.

"N-No… Not there…"

"Hm? Okay… we can stop here if you want,"

Quincy pulled back and cupped my chin just as the snow began to lightly pour from the sky, but it wasn't like a blizzard, but a regular snow night.

The sight was so beautiful that I nearly cried as the pitch black sky contrasted with the illuminated snow, accentuating Quincy's pale skin.

"You're so cute that it just makes me want to eat you up more, but… I won't go any further if you don't like it,"

As flurries of snow poured onto us, the only thing that I could focus on was the woman pinning me down.

"Let me be on top,"

"You look like you're enjoying being on the bottom. Is that your heart talking or your pride talking? Hm? Come on, tell me," She muttered with a large smile, and as she rubbed my lips with her thumb, I felt my heart beat speed up so fast that it felt as if it was about to pop out of my chest.

"Fine… but let's go to the tent first. It's snowing,"
