A/N: Don't look at me like that, I've been busy! Anyway, here we are with another orgy chapter. I hope you enjoy it!

(Germany— Dragon Hunter camp)

"You cannot keep me here!"

Struggling against the restraints, Alina Grimborn fruitlessly attempted to free herself, but to no avail. Groaning in pain as the shackles dug into her skin, drawing blood, the young Grimborn stopped for the time being and screeched out once more.

"Do you hear me!? You cannot keep me here!"

Screaming in frustration, Alina smacked the back of her head against the wall of the cell she was in before sinking to the floor. Panting heavily, the young Grimborn knew that she needed to regain herself. Depleting her strength and breath wouldn't help matters, she needed to wait for an opportunity to present itself so that she could escape.

Footsteps filled Alina's ears, and looking up, she laid eyes on Zlobina accompanied by her lover and protege. Sneering at the Dragon Hunters, the young Grimborn spoke with gritted teeth. "If you don't let me out of this cell, I swear to you, I will--"

"I'm going to stop you right there. You will do nothing but be a hostage. If I wanted you dead, I would've fed you to my Deathgrippers the moment you arrived in my camp, but do not mistake your predicament as mercy, you are a hostage, and you will serve your purpose when the time comes," Zlobina stated firmly before smiling. "You will be given food and water and during these acts of mercy, you will be unchained. But if you attempt to escape, I promise you that you will regret it."

Turning to one of her men, Zlonina nodded at them, and they opened the cell door and removed the shackles from Alina's wrists. Another hunter entered with a plate of food and a mug full of water and placed them in the young woman's hands. Sitting down to eat and drink, the young Grimborn watched as Zlobina was about to take her leave.

"You're not just here for revenge against Hiccup Haddock. But you're here for glory. Am I right?"

Turning to face the young woman, Zlobina smiled dryly. "A conflict the likes of which the world has never seen before will soon reach these shores to wash away the scourge that is the Vikings. They are a plague that should have been eradicated long ago. And the conflict that's coming will guarantee the eradication of all Vikings, whether they are Christian or Pagan."

"So you and your forces are the vanguard of the greater force that will ravage the Christian kingdoms of Germany?" Zlobina was silent, but her silence was answer enough. Nodding, Alina, took a bite of her food before tilting her head in curiosity. "You and your Dragon Hunters are here to leave the Vikings at a disadvantage by either killing or capturing the dragons under the command of the Night Fury." Snorting softly, Alina shook her head. "Even with your sizable force, even you won't be able to capture or kill all the dragons in the settlement--"

"I don't need to. All I need to is capture the Night Fury. I take him, and all the dragons in that settlement will follow, like sheep to the pen," Zlobina stated. "Once the Vikings are without their precious dragons, the force that comes this way will crush that barbaric, savage race like insects. And when the dust settles, a new world order will arise, and despite wanting to kill all who have associated themselves with my father's killer, I will give you and what remains of your family the opportunity to join me and be part of the new order that will rise up. If not, then you will not live to see another day, and I will see to it personally that your father stays dead."

With that said, Zlobina left Alina alone to ponder, and the young Grimborn sighed heavily while leaning back against the wall. She needed to find a way out of here and warn Hiccup of Zlobina's intentions here, but also to deal with her and her small army Dragon Hunters and the Viking traitors working alongside them before the inevitable storm of war, blood, and death would wash them away like a tidal wave.

(Viking settlement)

"Hiccup, I appreciate the opportunity to take charge of our people in your absence but to have me work alongside a Christian as well? I don't like this."

Mounting on Toothless' back, Hiccup looked down at his uncle and aunt who both wore disapproving frowns. "Spitelout, I'm sorry. But Jarl Sigfast and his men have agreed to act as agents of peace to keep our settlement from plunging into chaos while I'm gone."

"We can keep the peace without the help of the Christians, dear nephew," Irmgard reassured firmly. "I speak for all Vikings who worship the old gods that they won't take this... joint authority between my husband and Jarl Sigfast lightly. Especially Haesten the Hateful."

Astrid, who was perched on Stormfly spoke up. "Then I suggest you keep that Dane and his men in line. No matter what the followers of the old gods think, the Christian Vikings are still Vikings. We can't afford division and infighting, not with the threat of Zlobina the Malicious and the Deviants in our backyard," the Viking queen then looked to Viggo. "Hiccup and I have tasked the Saxon, Jack Overland, and the Northuldran siblings, Ryder and Honeymaren, to watch Zlobina's agents within the settlement and see if they can discover what hole they're settling in. Once they've been discovered, Gustav and the Auxiliary Riders will apprehend them. When we return, we'll extract any information we can out of them and then make a move against these Dragon Hunters and the Deviants."

"Understood, Queen Astrid," Viggo said respectfully. He then looked back to Hiccup. "Rest assured, the peace will be kept. You have my word."

Turning to Mulan, Raya, and Namaari, Hiccup spoke up. "I need you three to be an extra pair of eyes for me. Speak with Jack, Ryder, and Honeymaren, they've seen the men who were stupid enough to show themselves to Viggo. Once you have their description, keep on the lookout for them."

The three Asian women bowed their heads. "We understand," Mulan said.

With a nod, Hiccup turned to his inner circle and those in his harem. "Let's ride!" The large group urged their dragons to take to the sky and head for the Kingdom of Corona.

"Alright, let's go find that jester, Jack Overland, and his shepherd friends where these rats are hiding," Raya sighed.

"Right behind you, Dep La," Namaari smirked. The princess of Fang turned to Mulan. "Are you coming?"

Having been in her own thoughts for a moment, Mulan turned to Namaari and nodded. "Yes. Go on ahead." Nodding, both Kumandran princesses summoned their respective dragons and took to the sky. After summoning Mushu to her side, Mulan mounted her dragon's back before looking at Spitelout and Irmgard. "I hope the peace can be kept between the Christian and Pagan clans. For the sake of your people and Hiccup. It would be a shame to see all of this descend to violence and death in his absence."

"Worry not, lass, the peace will be kept," Spitelout reassured the Chinese warrior. "I swear on my sacred arm ring."

"I guess we'll find out. Won't we?"

Once Mulan and Mushu took off, Spitelout and Irmgard shared a look before heading toward the part of the settlement where the Christian clans were settled. Eventually, they spotted Jarl Sigfast's banner and found the man himself and over a dozen of his men knelt before a large wooden cross.

"You raise the dead to life in spirit. Lord, have mercy."

"Lord, have mercy."

Despite the Jorgenson's loyalty to their nephew, they couldn't understand why Hiccup believed Christian Vikings ought to dwell alongside Vikings who believed in the old gods. It was a very tense environment, which only intensified especially with the Scotts as their neighbors.

"You bring pardon and peace to the sinner. Christ, have mercy."

"Christ, have mercy."

Irmgard looked at her husband and murmured against his ear. "I fear that our nephew has made a poor lapse in judgment. Allowing joint authority between the two of us and... him?" Shaking her head, she continued. "We are nothing but "pagans" to them, no better than the Saxons, the Franks, and every other kingdom that worships the Christian god. Our two faiths cannot coexist. They must not!"

"Aye, I agree with you, wife. But Hiccup's word is law. Like it or not, we need to coexist with the Christian clans here and beyond." Caressing his wife's neck, Spitelout rolled his eyes. "Come. Let's get this over with." Nodding, Irmgard followed her husband as the two elder Jorgensons approached Jarl Sigfast and his flock.

"You bring light to those in darkness. Lord, have mercy."

"Lord, have mercy."

"May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins, and bring us to everlasting life."

"Amen."

Ending his prayer with his men, Jarl Sigfast, whose palms were in fact bleeding, turned to see Spitelout and Irmgard approach. After crossing himself, the Christian Viking smiled in greetings. "My disciples, we have guests," nodding at both Jorgensons, he then beckoned them to join him and his men. "Brother Spitelout. Sister Irmgard. Please, join us in prayer—"

"We did not come here to join you and pray to your god, Jarl Sigfast. We came here to inform you that while our nephew, Hiccup, and his wife, Astrid, and his other lovers, as well as those in his inner circle, go to the Kingdom of Corona to accept an invitation from Queen Arianna, the three of us will ensure the peace is kept between the Christian and... Pagan clans."

Smiling, Sigfast washed his bloodied hands and bandaged them before nodding in understanding. "I see. And you harbor resentment towards our king for this decision," his statement was followed with a soft snort. "You need not insult me by denying it, I can see it in your eyes. You do not want to share authority with a Christian jarl."

"Yes," Irmgard said firmly. "How could you and the other Viking leaders who have renounced the old gods turn to the Christian god?"

"It is difficult for the faithless to understand the faithful," Sigfast remarked with a smile.

"We have faith, Sigfast," Spitelout reassured in a low tone. "In my nephew, the King of Vikings. The dragons we depend upon in battle and travel. In the lands our people can settle and thrive in. And most of, my children, who will carry on the Jorgenson name."

"And who do you think created all those things that you spoke of?" Sigfast challenged.

"Not a man who claims that his father rules from a palace in the sky and whose brother is a holy ghost," Irmgard remarked with disdain.

Sigfast's men rose, their faces twisted with equal disdain towards the woman who would dare speak in such a manner. Holding his men back, Sigfast chuckled before looking at Irmgard. "We are meant to keep the pace, Sister Irmgard. It would be a shame if King Hiccup returned to this settlement to find it plunged into murder and chaos all because we cannot walk together on common ground. Wouldn't you agree?"

Stepping between his wife and Sigfast to prevent either one from tearing the other's throat out, Spitelout smiled. "Right, you are, Jarl Sigfast. We only came to relay Hiccup's orders. Nothing more," turning to his wife, the elder Jorgenson murmured against her hair. "Come. We will not defy our nephew's orders and spill blood."

Looking at her husband and then back at Sigfast, Irmgard stormed away with Spitelout catching up to her. Once he did, the elder Jorgenson took his wife's arm and forced her to look him in the eyes. "Are you deliberately trying to start a fight between the believers of the old gods and the Christians?" Irmgard was silent, causing Spitelout to growl in frustration. "I don't like it any more than you do, but we cannot afford infighting. Haesten the Hateful would use this as an excuse to lead his Danes against the Christian clans, or worse, the Scotts, and undermine the peace that our dear nephew is working so hard to maintain."

"And the last thing I want to do is undermine Hiccup's labor, but at some point, he must realize that he cannot be friends with all people. Especially the Christians," Irmgard sighed. "Despite their talks of peace and harmony, the Christians would not hesitate to "cleanse" Midgard of us "pagans." And our dear nephew still thinks we can be friends with them?"

"It is foolish for the king to believe such a thing, Lady Jorgenson."

The two laid eyes on Haesten the Hateful approaching. Sighing, Spitelout gave the Dane a curious look. "What do you want, Haesten? Eh?"

"I want nothing but prosperity and wealth for the sake of our people," Haesten answered while grooming his beard with a comb. "And by our people, I mean those who believe in the old gods. King Hiccup should have left the Christian clans to starve in Scandinavia."

"Despite how I feel towards the Christians, I would advise you to mind how you speak towards my family, if you value your cock attached to your balls" Irmgard scolded before smiling sweetly. "Do you understand?" Haesten nodded in understanding, feeling a sudden chill crawl down his spine at her tone. Despite many people who weren't willing to cross Haesten, he believed full well that the Jorgenson Clan was not afraid to back up their threats and display their strength to those who grieved or offended them.

"I suggest you and your men keep yourselves in line, Haesten," Spitelout advised. "I would think what happened to Harald Haraldson would serve as a reminder to those who challenge Hiccup's authority. Unless you and your warriors and folk with to fend for yourselves outside of this settlement, you will not only heed our nephew's command to keep the peace while he's away, but obey."

Chewing on his lip, Haesten then offered them both a smile. "I have no argument. Who am I to question our king, hmm?" Placing his comb in a pouch on his hip, he then took his leave.

Glaring at Haesten's retreating form, Irmgard looked to her husband. "He will need to be watched."

Nodding in agreement, Spitelout reassured her. "I already have good men who are watching him, my dear wife," taking one of her hands and kissing her knuckles, Spitelout began to walk. "Let's make sure that the peace is secured and make sure that nobody kills each other, hmm?" Irmgard nodded and the two of them left the portion of the settlement where the Christian clans were settled and helped anyone in need of it, following Hiccup's example by being a servant of the people.

(Kingdom of Corona)

"Queen Arianna, I must protest. Is it wise to invite the Vikings to roam amongst our people?"

Turning to the bishop of Corona's church, she reassured him. "There's no need to fear, Bishop Stephen. King Hiccup and those accompanying him will keep the peace and will not harm us," Arianna reassured.

"Respectfully, Queen Arianna, but you don't know that."

Joshua, one of the nobles of Corona voiced as if his words were facts and not an opinion. The Queen of Corona eyed the noble with a firm glare as if she were the man's mother. It was no secret that Joshua didn't support her in allowing the Scandinavians to establish a settlement in their land. There were rumors that Joshua, along with several other nobles was plotting to undermine the peace that Arianna had established with King Hiccup and his people.

"You don't know Hiccup Haddock, Joshua, but I do."

Turning to Rapunzel, who was by her mother's side, the lost princess looked over her shoulder and gave the noble a firm look. "I lived among Hiccup and his people for some time, I can tell you with confidence that Hiccup Haddock isn't the bloodthirsty savage that you're trying to portray," she then looked to the sky to see the Viking king and his lovers along with his inner circle land in front of the bridge that led into Corona. "I suggest you don't anger our guests if you value your position as a Noble of Corona."

Biting down on his tongue to keep himself from speaking offensively to the princess, Joshua could taste a hint of blood. Instead of replying with words, he instead bowed his head in submission to his princess and sneered at the sight of the approaching Vikings.

"King Hiccup, welcome to Corona," Arianna greeted as she approached her lover with a warm, welcoming smile. "You and those accompanying you are all welcome."

Bowing her head in both greetings and thanks, Hiccup took Arianna's hand and kissed her knuckles. "My thanks, Queen Arianna." He then looked at Rapunzel with a grin. "Hello, Rapunzel. How has life as a princess treated you?"

"Better than life under Gothel's roof," Rapunzel stated before hugging Hiccup fiercely, causing the king to chuckle and return her embrace. "It's so good to see you again." She whispered against her ear while kissing his cheek.

"Likewise."

Snotlout let out a bored yawn and spoke up. "Excuse me, but I couldn't help but notice all the banners that clearly signify some sort of event that you have planned. Would you mind telling us what that is, exactly?"

Smiling, Arianna beckoned the Vikings to follow as she and Rapunzel led them into their kingdom. "Today is the Challenge of the Brave. It's a tournament to invite the finest warriors from the Germanic kingdoms ranging from royal blood, mercenaries competing for wealth and glory, and even those of lowly blood to make their names known to the world," Rapunzel explained. "I wanted to compete, but my mother was against it."

"And for good reason, Rapunzel. This competition is beyond fierce. These warriors will fight tooth and nail to obtain the promise of wealth and glory that this challenge provides."

"Challenge of the Brave? Heh, sounds like our very own Thawfest, am I right?" Tuffnut chuckled.

"Not only Thawfest, but Dragon Racing. Man, I miss those days," Ruffnut sighed in contemplation.

"I know, it's been a long time since we even got to keep up with traditions like that," Fishlegs added before speaking up. "We too have challenges and games like your Challenge of the Brave, but because of campaigns and journey here, we haven't been able to bring back these games."

"Yeah, why is that?" Snotlout barked out over the exclaiming crowds of people preparing to bear witness to the event. The short, stocky Jorgenson then turned to his cousin. "How come we haven't brought back Thawfest or Dragon Racing?!"

"Fishlegs said it, we've been preoccupied with campaigns and establishing our settlement in the land Queen Arianna has generously provided for us."

"Well, we're noting busy with campaigns for the moment, are we?" Snotlout shot back. "Besides, I think it would be a great way to let loose."

Eret, who had participated in Dragon Racing shortly after Drago's invasion of Old Berk, spoke up to back Snotlout. "I agree with the little man, Chief," shrugging, he smiled. "Besides, you can use this as a means of bringing the respective clans closer together as well as easing tensions with the Scots."

"All in good time, Eret, all in good time," Hiccup reassured before turning back to his host. "So, where is this... Challenge of the Brave taking place?"

Smiling, Rapunzel took Hiccup's hand. "Follow me!"

Eventually, the rulers of Corona led the Vikings to the arena where the event was taking place, and the arena was packed with the common folk of Corona, as well as people from the Gerrmanic kingdoms to show support to their chosen champions. Each challenge that was showcased stirred something with the Vikings, especially Snotlout, and seeing these fine warriors show case their skills made the stocky Jorgenson request that he and several others in the group would represent the Scandinavian people. Despite the objetions from Corona's nobles as well as the visiting royals throughout Germany, Queen Arianna overuled them and allowed a handful of Hiccup's people to contend in the challenge to show this side of the world the athletic competiveness of the Viking people. Having heard of the barbaric strength of the Vikings, the Germanic people were in awe at the sight of Hiccup's people not only contending with these fine warriors, but also even surpassing them in many of the events.

Hiccup was on the edge of his seat as he spectacted the many events, especially when Astrid wanted to participate in a battle with a female mercenary who was a deadly knife thrower. And despite the fact that Astrid was two months pregnanat, the Viking queen was able to best her thanks to her smarts and years of training, the sight of a pregnant woman best a deadly knife thrower made the crowds go wild, not only because Astrid truly was a sight to behold, but also because of her acrobatics, skills with her trust battle axe, and her incredible strength. As the people of Corona cheered for the Viking queen, Hiccup was the loudest cheerer as he praised his wife, even though he should've pulled his wife out of that event at the risk of losing both Astrid and his unborn child.

With each challenge, each of the Vikings participating managed to become the shining stars of this years Challenge of the Brave. In the challenge of arcobatics, Astrid, Mala, and Fiona got the highest scores. Snotlout and Fishlegs, thanks to their incredible strength were able to lift make many of the royal warriors participating look like fools as they lifted large rocks in rope like nets. In the challenge of precision, Camicazi went up against a well trained archer who wouldn't miss a single taret, however, the Bog Burglar was able to use her trusty throwing knives to hit every target dead center as well and win the challenge.

Eventually, as the final challenge approached, the people were demanding to see the infamous King of Vikings participate in a battle against these fierce warriors and see if he would be the last warrior standing. The battle that ensued left everyone on the edge of their seat as they watched the King of Vikings best those who challenged him in combat. Thanks to rigorous training with his wife and lovers, he not only left the spectating crowds speechless, but he emerged as the victor and won the final challenge. Not only had Corona's people seen what these Vikings were capable of, but Queen Arianna reassured them that they were allies and would fight alongside Corona's armies if anyone dared threaten them, and this made the crowds roar in elation, except for the nobles who resented Queen Arianna's choice to befriend the Vikings.

By days end, a feast was prepared within Corona Castle for Hiccup and those who accompanied him. Enjoying a hearty, savory meal left everyone satisfied and grateful for Queen Arianna's generosity. After all the food and drink that was consumed, Hiccup's friends and their respective partners were offered guest rooms to retire for the night, but not before they were othered warm baths to wash away the scent of competitiveness and atheism from the challenges they competed in. Once Hiccup's inner circle had settled in for the night, Queen Arianna and Rapunzel led Hiccup, Astrid, the other Fair Queens to the royal bath chambers where they can not only share a bath together, but also have some fun. Entering the royal bath chambers made Hiccup's eyes go wide. True, he was aware that luxuries such as these could be afforded to those of royalty and opulence, but this bath chamber was without a shadow of a doubt the largest and lavish one that Hiccup had ever seen before.

Removing the crown from her head, as well as the pearls attached to her ears and around her neck, Arianna set them on a nearby bench before looking over her shoulder at Hiccup. "Would you be so kind as to help me remove my dress?" Her tone was coy, and the Viking king knew exactly where this would lead.

"Who am I to deny your request?"

Smiling, Arianna gasped softly when Hiccup's front was flushed against her back while began to undo her dress planting soft kisses along the back of her neck. Placing her hands on the woman's shoulders, Hiccup gently slid the dress down, and as Arianna's flawless, ivory skin was presented to the Viking king, he wished to see more. As her dress pooled around her waist, Hiccup reached for her breasts and cupped them, savoring the supple flesh in his hands. While the king's attention was focused on Arianna, Astrid, and the others began to undress themselves until the only one still clothed was Hiccup.

That needed to change.

Approaching her husband from behind, Astrid began to unfasten his leather armor, unwrapping him slowly but surely. With each article of clothing removed by his wife, Hiccup saw his lovers make their way into the large bath, walking down the steps that led into the shallow waters. Their sighs of pleasure at the warm water made Hiccup remove the last of his clothing, pulling away from Arianna until he was naked.

"Come on, let's join them."

Astrid's words were followed by her taking Hiccup's hand and leading him into the bath where everyone was enjoying the pleasure of soaking in a warm bath. The servants who had prepared the bath chambers had left behind plenty of ointments, bars of soap, and sponges. Rapunzel tossed a few bars of soap at the women relaxing, and they caught them before beginning to wash properly.

"I'd say we showed the people of Corona and the warriors of these realms what Vikings are made of," Camicazi chuckled while washing away the stench of competing in the event. "Especially you, Astrid. I mean, you were already a trained warrior, but you took down men ten times your size out there!" Looking at Hiccup, the Bog Burglarr smirked. "Hiccup, your wife is a force of nature."

"Really? I didn't notice."

Laughing at Hiccup's deadpanned remark, Rapunzel clung to one of Astrid's arms, giving her a hopeful look. "I hope you can teach me some of those moves that you pulled out there. Don't get me wrong, Fiona and Mala have helped me defend myself in hand-to-hand combat, but your acrobatics are just... wow!" She then placed a gentle hand on her pregnant belly before continuing to praise her. "And you did all of that while pregnant! That was amazing!"

"Don't inflate her ego, Rapunzel."

Giggling at her husband's words and Rapunzel's childlike awe, Astrid pecked the blond's nose. "I would love to train you and show you some moves, Rapunzel, of course I will." Her giggles turned into a laugh when Rapunzel let out an excited shriek and hugged her. "You all did well, you put those pompous, arrogant men in their places." Astrid praised the women who competed.

"Oh, well, it was an honor to see them humbled," Mala sighed while lathering ointments in her hair.

While wringing water out of her hair, Fiona hummed in agreement with Mala before looking at Hiccup with a curious smile. "Say, I've heard that you Vikings have done something called Dragon Racing. Do you think it's time to run another one?"

"Oh, yes!" Astrid exclaimed excitedly before turning to Hiccup. "We haven't done Dragon Racing in a long time. Besides, it's an opportunity to ease tensions in the settlement, and maybe we can invite the Scots to witness the event."

"That's... a good idea," Hiccup smiled before giving his lovers a firm nod. "I'll announce that Dragon Racing will return."

"Great! Now that we're a collective people who ride dragons, some of us will get to compete!" Camicazi clapped her hands in excitement.

Holding a finger out, Astrid shushed Camicazi. "We'll make the arrangements and preparations. For now, I think we can have a different competition." The Viking queen, who was by her husband's side, reached under the water and took hold of Hiccup's erection, causing him to inhale sharply and look at his wife who gave him coy eyes while biting her lower lip teasingly.

"Oh, I like where this is going," Heather, who had finished washing made her way towards the Viking rulers. "And what exactly does this competition entail?"

"Simple, Hiccup has sex with the women here who aren't carrying his children. If he still has more in him by the time he's done, we take this to Queen Arianna's bed." Looking at the flabbergasted Queen of Corona, Astrid smiled. "What do you say, Queen Arianna?"

She knew this was wrong on so many levels. She was a proper Christian woman in command of a wealthy, prosperous kingdom that was coveted by many of the surrounding kingdoms in Germany. And now, what lay before her made Arianna's heart beat wildly in her chest and her blood ran thicker in her veins. This was a sin, to be fornicating with multiple people was not right.

And yet...

She not only experienced firsthand how incredible Hiccup was as a lover but also the prospect of having another child, one that she raised properly.

"I agree," the Queen of Corona before smiling. "I would not oppose having another child. And I believe a man like Hiccup would be an amazing father to my child, should I have the fortune of conceiving yet again."

Smiling, Astrid then looked at Hiccup. "So, babe, who's the lucky lady that you'll hump first?"

In that moment, Hiccup's choice was an obvious one. Wrapping around Rapunzel's hip and pulling her body against his, he looked down at her with a tender smile.

"Shall we?"

"We shall."

As the two came in for a kiss, Hiccup caressed her flawless skin while murmuring how beautiful she was. Rapunzel, who relished in the sensations, smiled against his lips when she felt his erect cock leak against her abdomen. While kissing his sharp jawline and jugular, the long-haired blond slid a hand down his toned torso and wrapped her hand around his cock, causing Hiccup to close his eyes and moan softly while inhaling her scent against her hair. As their kiss grew deeper and more passionate, Hiccup's hands, which were on Rapunzel's shoulders, slid down her back until he cupped her pert backside and lifted her off of her feet, causing her to let out a shriek of laughter while clinging to her lover's broad shoulders.

"So beautiful," Hiccup murmured as he pressed his forehead against Rapunzel's. "And you're all mine." He thrust his hips, and the blond beauty clinging to him gasped as his erect cock pressed against her lower lips. In response, Rapunzel began to grind against him, causing Hiccup to chuckle in response.

Eventually, Rapunzel reached down to angle his cock up so that she could seat herself on him. As she slid down inch by painstaking inch, the both of them sighed in pleasure. Hiccup took two handfuls of the blond's cheeks off her backside and ground her against him while was able to ride him. Thrilled by the strength Hiccup passed to be able to do this while standing up, Rapunzel also felt her cheeks flush with embarrassment as she watched the other women eyeing them both with lust, desire, and passion.

"They won't bite, well, some of them won't," Hiccup joked while laughing as his wife, Camicazi, Heather, and a few other of his lovers glared at him for accusing them of biting during sexual intercourse. "Just focus on me and the pleasure you're feeling." He murmured against Rapunzel's neck as he thrust up into her, causing the beautiful blond to moan and bury her face into his hair to muffle her cries.

The guttural sound of wet skin slapping against each other and Rapunzel's cries of pleasure aroused everyone watching. Arianna knew that it was beyond immoral for her to take pleasure in watching her daughter engage in sexual intercourse and enjoy watching it, but she too would partake in being intimate with the King of Vikings. As a Christian, she knew that this was wrong, she shouldn't... and yet, she wanted to. She had been so lonely ever since her husband died and she had been forced to fend for herself against men who would like nothing more than to take advantage of her and have their wicked way with her, Arianna could see that this pagan king was different than most of the "righteous" men who wished to become her suitors and provide her with another heir.

"Yes, Rapunzel! Ride his cock!"

"Don't be shy, tell us how he feels!"

"Does Hiccup's cock feel good, Rapunzel?"

Rapunzel, who was lost in pleasure, suddenly threw her head back and let out a moan and laugh when Hiccup thrust up into her while biting playfully at her jugular. "H-How... do you all stand up straight after he humps you?"

Laughter filled the air at Rapunzel's question, Astrid, however, answered. "You get used to it once he's humped you for years."

"Don't rub it in our faces, Astrid," Anna pouted.

"Astrid, pl-ahhh-play nice!" Hiccup hissed as he continued to thrust up into silken, wet heat.

Holding her hands up, Astrid reassured him. "As you wish, my king," she then turned to the women who were watching. "While he's having fun with those who aren't carrying his child, anyone wants to play with me?"

"I will gladly take you up on that offer, my dear," Valka purred before reaching for her. "Youth may be on your side, but let's see if you can handle someone with maturity."

The elder Haddock grabbed the back of Astrid's head and pulled her in for a kiss. Returning her mother-in-law's kiss, Astrid reached up to caress Valka's breasts, causing the older woman to moan sweetly against her lips. The Viking queen let out a muffled gasp when the elder Haddock's hands reached down to grope the cheeks of her pert backside, pulling her flush against her. Allowing Astrid the opportunity to breathe, the Viking queen gasped when she felt another tall, strong, and imposing woman press against her back while kissing the back of her neck.

"I hope you don't intend to play with just your mother-in-law, Queen Astrid," Mala's sultry tone caused Astrid to bite her lower lip and grow more aroused, especially when the tall blond slid a hand down her two-month-pregnant belly and found her wet. Laughing quietly against her ear, Mala then looked at Elsa and Heather who were touching each other while watching them. "Are you ladies quite done being exhibitionists? Queen Astrid needs release. Now I suggest you be good girls and serve Lady Haddock well."

"Well, you don't need to tell us twice," Elsa giggled before turning to Heather. "Come on."

The two women made their way to Astrid and took turns kissing her while pawing at her breasts. Mala then looked to Camicazi, who had made her toward them under the water. When the Bog Burglar surfaced, Mala gestured to Astrid's soaking centered and spoke softly. "You know what to do," and smirked when Camicazi winked before crawling to Astrid's wet center on her knees and then burying her face between her legs.

"O-Odin's beard!"

Laughing at Astrid's strangled cry of pleasure, Camicazi looked up at the Viking queen with hooded eyes and took one long lick along her labia before caressing her swollen belly. "Don't worry, Queen Astrid, just... relax, and let your humble servants be of service." Diving back in between Astrid's legs, Camicazi laughed against her sopping center hearing Astrid curse and cry out in pleasure.

Arianna, who was watching Hiccup being intimate with her daughter caused her to bite her lower lip and touch herself. Suddenly, she felt someone dragging their fingers along her shoulders, causing her to let out a gasp of pleasure and surprise. Turning around, Arianna laid eyes on Fiona who smiled sweetly at her.

"While you wait for your turn, would you like to experience what it's like to be with a woman?"

Blushing, Arianna was about to stammer out a response but was cut off when Rapunzel let out a strangled cry of pleasure while Hiccup continued to dominate her. Turning back to Fiona with a deeper shade of red along her cheeks, Arianna spoke up. "I... I've never been intimate with a woman before. As a Christian--"

"I understand. And you don't have to do anything you're not comfortable with," Fiona reassured before making her way to Anna. "But you were once the same way the first time you were with your husband, right? It's the same thing in regards to being with a woman. But again, whatever you're comfortable with. We won't force you." Taking Anna into her arms, the two redheads came together for a heated kiss while pawing at each other's breasts and backsides. Alone to be an exhibitionist, Arianna continued to watch Hiccup and her daughter.

Shuddering in Hiccup's arms, Rapunzel giggled quietly when resting her forehead against his. "I missed this," she confessed before cupping his face and kissing him deeply. Hiccup hummed against her lips before watching her curiously once she got up off of his cock. "Do you think I would give you a son or a daughter?"

"It doesn't matter to me, Rapunzel," Hiccup reassured her with a smile before looking at all of his lovers. "I care about you all, and whether you give me a son or daughter, or, God forbid, a miscarriage, I will be there for you."

"Go-oh-Good to know, babe!" Astrid moaned out before allowing the women who were pleasuring her to continue.

Rapunzel's answering smile was blinding, and after sharing another kiss, Corona's princess moved aside so that the next women could get their turn. Hiccup's eyes landed on Arianna and he held a hand out for her. "Come here," smiling, Arianna eagerly made her way over, swaying her hips and she faced the Viking king. "Eager, aren't we?"

"Very," placing her hands on his broad shoulders, Arianna leaned in and whispered hotly against Hiccup's ear. "I want you to give me a child."

"As you wish."

Making his way to the steps leading to the bath, Hiccup sat down and waited for Arianna to mount him. Instead of facing him, Arianna turned her back and ground herself along Hiccup's cock teasingly before the king held his shaft upright and allowed Arianna to sink into him, inch by beautiful inch until the Queen of Corona was flushed to his pelvis.

"O-Ohh, you're so big, Hiccup," Arianna bit down on her lower lip and simply ground against him, savoring the friction and feeling of him deep inside of her. "Mmm, so good."

"Yeah? Do you enjoy having the cock of a pagan king inside of you?"

Looking over her shoulder, Arianna gave the smirking Hiccup a coy grin. "I enjoy it a great deal," riding his cock, the Queen of Corona gasped in delight when the Viking king's hand came down on top of her pert backside. "Do that again." Obliging her request, Hiccup brought his hand down on her backside again, causing Arianna to moan as the blend of pain and pleasure coursed through her. "Yes!" Each time Hiccup spanked her or groped the pert cheeks of her backside, Arianna began riding him harder.

"Gods, you're exquisite, Arianna," Hiccup groaned at the sight of his beautiful woman riding him with vigor. Deciding he wanted more, the Viking king sat up and wrapped his arms around Arianna and brought him to lay back against him, her back now flushed with his chest. "That's better." Murmuring in a husky tone that made Arianna whimper, she then let out a sharp cry as Hiccup thrust up inside of her while pawing at one of her breasts and the other hand sliding down her soft, flat belly and touching her clit.

"Hicc-ahh!"

Placing a hand over the hand pawing at her breast, Arianna's other hand rubbed at her clit, along with Hiccup, and the two respective ruler's moans became entwined as they sought to reach the pleasurable end together. "Oh, gods, I'm close!" Hiccup hissed through gritted teeth. Nuzzling against her face, he kissed her cheek before murmuring against her ear. "Are you close?" Arianna nodded furiously in response. "Then come for me." Twisting her nipple with her fingers and rubbing harder against her clit, Arianna came with a deafening scream.

"O-Ohh! Hiccup!"

Feeling her tighten around him as well as her juices soaking him, Hiccup thrust up inside of Arianna before burying himself to the hilt and spilling deep inside of her. "Oh, yes!" Hiccup growled before bringing around her throat, squeezing just hard enough to send a thrilling chill down Arianna's spine. "Take it all. Every last drop." He continued to spill inside of her until he spilled out of her, his cock soaked in their respective fluids.

Before Hiccup could even speak a word, Anna, who came out of nowhere, knelt between Hiccup's legs and cleaned his cock with enthusiastic licks. Hissing sharply at the sensation of overstimulation, Hiccup felt Arianna twist her head and kiss his face before peeking down between his legs and purring. "She's an enthusiastic one, isn't she?" Hiccup nodded in response as he let out a labored moan. Laughing softly at the sight, Arianna tugged at his earlobe with her teeth. "Your women treat you very well."

"T-They... do," Hiccup looked over to his wife and smiled at the sight of her writhing in pleasure, as his mother, along with several other of his lovers were driving her to the brink of madness. "Women who stand as my companions, allies, and lovers will be on equal footing in my kingdom." The Viking king stated while Anna still bobbed her head up and down his cock. "I know that many of the fools in your court think you are unfit to rule solely, all because you're a woman. But the fact that you've ruled well after the death of your husband proves just how strong and capable you are as a leader. If you were to marry again, would you consider me as your husband?"

Arianna chewed on her bottom lip before stating facts. "My nobles and those of religious standing will not welcome the idea of a Christian queen wedding a Viking king." She then smiled at him. "But I've come to admire, respect, and grow very fond of you, Hiccup. And I want a man who I can not only trust and love but also a man who treats me equally. And... I believe that man is you. Despite the backlash that will come from the nobles, I don't care what they will say. Will you?"

"No."

"Good."

Sharing a kiss, Hiccup broke away from Arianna's lips and growled out at Anna. "O-Oh, gods, A-Anna, s-stop!" The redhead looked up at Hiccup with confusion, but his face twisted with mischief. "Mount me, so that I come inside of you." Smiling, Anna nodded and sank his shaft with a sweet moan.

"Thor's hammer, Hiccup. Your cock is a work of art," Anna praised as she eyed both him and Arianna, who was still laying back against him. Eyeing the Queen of Corona, she then placed her hands on the older woman's breasts, causing her to flinch. "It's alright, Queen Arianna. Don't hide away from the pleasure that you can receive by being with both genders. Instead, embrace it." While kneading her breasts, Arianna felt warmth spread throughout her body, her eyes fell closed while she licked her dry lips.

"Mmm,"

Groaning at the feeling of Anna's hands pawing at her breasts and the sight of this young woman riding Hiccup's cock made Arianna aroused, and despite what she believed to be right and wrong, she wanted to see what the possibilities of being with a woman entailed.

Whilst Arianna was savoring the feeling of Anna palming her breasts, Hiccup looked to Rapunzel who was touching herself while watching the display. "Come here, you," he beckoned with his head. Smiling, the long-haired blond made her way to Hiccup and gave him a curious look. Winking up at her, he exhaled. "Sit on my face." Not needing to be told twice, Rapunzel straddled Hiccup's face once he stretched his neck back in a comfortable position.

With his hands, Hiccup once again toyed with Arianna's clit, while she writhed on top of him thanks to Anna kneading her breasts. Looking up at the strawberry blond, Hiccup smirked before murmuring against Arianna's ear. "Can Anna kiss you?" Looking over her shoulder at the Viking king, Arianna nodded. "Kiss her." Hiccup said to Anna. Leaning down, Anna captured Arianna's lips in a fiery kiss, one that took the older woman by surprise, but one she began to reciprocate. Moaning as Anna's tongue wrestled with hers, Arianna buried a hand into the strawberry blond's locks before breaking their kiss to moan in delight at the feeling of Anna pinching her nipples while riding Hiccup at and slow, delicious pace.

"Mmm, gods, Anna!"

Biting her lower lip, the strawberry blond smirked at the Viking king. "Do you like that, my king?"

"I do," eyeing her naked body with lust, he then growled. "Now be a good princess and ride me like a wild stallion."

"As you command."

As Anna rode him harder, the Viking king groaned in delight before he looked up at Rapunzel with a smirk. "Let me worship you like the goddess that you are," Rapunzel blushed at his words but offered no objections. Soft mewls and whimpers rumbled from her throat as she felt Hiccup's breath ghosting over her lower lips. "Gods, Rapunzel, you are perfect." He murmured began running his tongue along her folds, taking hold of her legs and caressing her inner thighs while devouring her like he'd never get the chance again.

Throwing her head back, Rapunzel cried out in pleasure and watched with torrid eyes as she watched this man please her, Anna, and her mother. Hiccup's tongue was working her like an instrument and with each stroke of his tongue against her labia, Rapunzel felt as though she would lose her mind. In the time she had spent catching up with her mother and getting acquainted with her home in Corona, Rapunzel had deeply missed Hiccup's touch and affections. And right now, in this moment, there was no place on earth where Rapunzel would be.

While Anna, Corona's queen and princess were enjoying the Viking king, Astrid was in the center of the large bath and was being pleased from everywhere. Valka and Mala both kept her upright while kissing along her neck, Heather and Elsa were in front of her chest, and each of them had a nipple in their mouth, lashing their tongues along the tight skin and even tugging it playfully with their teeth. And Camicazi was between her legs while eating her out furiously. The multitude of sensations threatened to make Astrid cross-eyed as she struggled to hold strong.

"The queen seems to be struggling," Mala purred while pressing a lingering kiss to Astrid's cheek. She then looked down at Camicazi. "What do you say, my dear? Shall we grant our beloved queen a brief reprieve?"

Pulling away from Astrid's sopping folds, Camicazi pondered in thought before grinning at the Queen of Vikings. "Nah, why stop when she's so close already?" Astrid let out a sound that was both a sigh of relief and a grateful moan when Camicazi continued her ministrations.

"Oh, she's shaking, that means she's getting closer," Elsa giggled against Astrid's right breast. She then looked up at the Viking queen with eyes blazing with lust. "Why hold back? Let it go." She purred before latching back onto her breast.

"A-ARGHHHH! SWEET BABY THOR IN A THUNDERSTORM!"

Astrid all but screamed out as she came, her juices flooding Camicazi's mouth, and the Bog Burglar happily lapped up what she could. Slumping back against Valka and Mala, Astrid's face was a deep shade of crimson, sweat trickled down her temples, and her breaths were labored and ragged. "By the Allfather, t-that was intense," Astrid laughed breathlessly, causing the women pleasing her to giggle and grant their queen a moment's respite. Astrid then looked to see Hiccup enjoying himself greatly with Anna, Arianna, and Rapunzel. With a grin, she called out. "How's it going over there, babe? Are Anna, Corona's queen and princess giving you a good time?"

Momentarily pulling away from Rapunzel's sex, Hiccup panted out. "More than you know!" He then returned his attention to the three women, determined to bring them all to the climactic edge. Rapunzel didn't last much longer, thanks to Hiccup eating her out with ferocity, which, combined with rubbing her clit caused Rapunzel to scream in pleasure and reach her end. "Good girl. You taste so good." He praised her while lapping up her juices. Once Rapunzel pried herself off of his face, Hiccup sat up and wrapped his arms around Anna's thighs, and began to thrust up inside of her with intensity.

"O-Oh!"

"You're close, aren't you?" Hiccup's growled statement caused Anna to nod furiously while sinking her teeth into her bottom lip. "Then why hold back? Come for me." Bouncing up and down on Hiccup's lap harder, Anna cried as she sunk her fingers deeper into the king's shoulders. The blend of pain and pleasure caused Hiccup to hiss as he too thrust up into the beautiful princess.

Arianna, who was moving with Hiccup suddenly kissed up Anna's toned belly before murmuring against her breasts. "Go on, be a good girl, and come for us," she then took one of Anna's nipples into her mouth, sucking on the bud of tight skin and lapping it with her tongue while looking up at Anna. "Are you going to come for us?" Before Anna could even speak, she was taken by surprise when Fiona pressed against her back, turning her head and kissing her deeply while groping the breast that Arianna wasn't attending to.

"Mmph!"

Moaning sharply against Fiona's lips, Anna rode Hiccup harder and harder, she could feel herself about to succumb to the blissful end with each passing second, she was so close. She finally reached her end when Fiona's other hand toyed with her clit, the pleasure was too much for her, and she finally came. Letting out a shrill cry, Anna writhed violently in Fiona's arms as she relished in her climax, her elation only intensified when Hiccup joined her blissful release not long after; his seed painting her womb with white, and hopefully, Freyr would finally allow Anna to bear a child to raise and love. Hiccup reclined against the bath's steps, desperately catching his breath. The sight of him flushed, sweaty, and panting heavily was an arousing sight as Astrid, and the rest of the women made their way towards him.

"I think it would be hot if you humped your mother so all of us could see, babe," Astrid murmured against his ear once he came in for a kiss. "Would you mind giving us a show?" Looking to Valka with hopeful eyes, Astrid awaited their answer.

"What do you say, Mom?"

Smiling, Valka approached. "If they want a show, it would be a shame to disappoint them," taking Hiccup by the hands, the older Haddock smiled. "Let's give them a show to watch." Leading her son out of the bath, she then laid down on the ground and gave him a coy grin, beckoning to her.

Hiccup soon straddled Valka's body and knee-walked his way upward until the tip of his cock was right at her lips. She then stuck her tongue out and circled it slowly, shivering with delight when she heard his sharp intake of breath. Lifting her head, Valka sucked a few inches of Hiccup's shaft into her mouth and then slowly released it, squeezing him rhythmically with her lips. She looked up at him, eyes blazing with love and adoration for him.

"Gods, that feels so good, Mom," he breathed.

Slowly, he began humping Valka's mouth, give her an inch or so more of his cock each time.

She slid her hands up behind him, caressing and squeezing his pert backside, urging him to give her more. His cock slid back and forth against her tongue, throbbing and pulsing steadily, getting longer and harder by the minute. Even though this felt wonderful and Valka was happy to get Hiccup off, her own sex was starting to feel a little neglected. She then removed one hand from his backside and gave it a promising squeeze, but then she couldn't help but tease herself with a single finger. That little shudder of excitement racing through her caused Valka to suck Hiccup a bit deeper. At that point Hiccup realized what was going on.

"Sorry, Mom, let me take care of that for you."

Hiccup pulled out of her mouth only briefly, turned so that his head was at her sex and pulled her on top of him. Now, Valka was straddling his face and his cock was right in front of her mouth. Sucking Hiccup's cock and getting licked at the same time was divine for Valka, causing her to moan in delight. Before Valka had even had time to think about that, Hiccup drove his tongue deep into her labia and then worked a wet finger into her puckered little hole. With a groan and a shudder of pleasure, Valka swallowed almost every inch of his thick cock and began bobbing her head. Hiccup moaned into my crotch and pushed his finger deeper into her.

Queen Arianna, like the other women watching were in awe and greatly aroused at the sight of Hiccup and Valka devouring each other like they were a fine meal. From what she had been told, Valka had been absent from Hiccup's life since he was a baby, much like Rapunzel had been absent from her life after she had been kidnapped. Perhaps we could play together as a four in the very near future, Arianna mused while biting her lower lip at the mere thought.

Suddenly, Hiccup growled loudly as he neared his climax. Recognizing he was close, Valka sped up her ministrations with her mouth and pumped the base of his cock with her hand. Eventually, Hiccup cried out as his body grew stiff and his cock swelled and jerked in her mouth before spilling down Valka's throat. With his climax reached, Hiccup focused on bringing Valka to the same heights of pleasure and was elated when she came with a shrill cry and her juices soaked his tongue.

"For the love of Thor, that was hot."

Camicazi's statement caused the women watching to nod in agreement. Eventually, Astrid approached to her husband and mother in law as they caught their breath.

"I hope you're not done yet, dear husband," Astrid teased. "After all, the night is young."

Laughing lightly, Hiccup ran a hand through his wet hair and smirked at his wife. "Are you implying that you won't be able to keep up?"

His playful quip caused Astrid's smile to widen. "Just because I'm pregnant doesn't mean that I'll still dominate you in bed."

"Bold talk, Milady. Let's see if you can back it up."

"Gladly."

The lovers all ended up in Queen Arianna's bed chambers, and thankfully, her bed was large enough to hold over a dozen people. Hours upon hours of nonstop sex concluded with Hiccup and his lovers all snuggling in a tangled pile of sweaty limbs. As Hiccup caught his breath, he smiled as Astrid kissed along his chest and neck before reaching for his face and kissing him deeply, one he gladly relayed in kind. Eventually, Astrid and the other women began to fall asleep, having exhausted a great deal of energy in their coupling.

As Hiccup too began to drift asleep, his mind returned to the coming storm threatening to consume him and his people. For whatever reason, Hiccup believed that perhaps he could avoid this verdict that the gods had in store for him. But Hiccup knew that fate couldn't be outrun, especially if the gods had a hand in it.

Whatever happens next, Hiccup hoped that this moment with his wife and the women he had in this bed wouldn't be the last time he would be with them.

(Viking settlement)

Zlobina's agents stumbled out of the Great Hall, having blended in with the crowds for food and ale, they had the feeling of eyes watching them from afar. The spies blanched at the sight of Mulan, Raya, and Namaari watching them before approaching them and drawing their swords, recognizing them as the spies thanks to the descriptions of their appearance provided by Jack, Ryder, and Honeymaren.

Realizing they had been discovered, the spies quickly got up and pushed their way past Scandinavians out of the Great Hall and were now on their way back to their hiding place to send a message to Zlobina herself and tell her that Hiccup and his lovers are currently absent and are residing at Corona Castle and lay low. Unfortunately, as the two men moved through the settlement, they were stopped in their tracks by a voice lurking in the shadows.

"And where might you two be off to in such a hurry?"

Emerging from the darkness was Viggo Grimborn, a murderous scowl on his face, which only illuminated as he brandished his fire sword. Before the two spies could run, they saw Mulan, Raya, and Namaari on their dragons and sounding a horn. Within seconds, Gustav and the Auxiliary Riders, who were perched on their respective dragons surrounded them, cutting off their escape.

"Nothing but rats in a trap," Jack Overland quipped.

Spitelout and Irmgard Jorgenson, along with Jarl Sigfast, along a handful of his men approached the enemy spies.

Sneering at them, one of the spies mocked. "Oh, if it isn't the uncle of the Viking king. What are you going to do? We—"

The spy was sent tumbling to the ground because Spitelout's fist connected to his jaw. Groaning in pain, the spy spat a mouthful of blood and one of his teeth before Spitelout's foot pressed into the back of his neck. Squirming frantically like an animal caught in a trap, Spitelout drew his sword and pressed the blade against the spy's neck, causing them to stop their squirming.

"I may not be as smart as my nephew, Hiccup. But you would be a fool to underestimate a Jorgenson," Spitelout pressed his blade firmly against the spy's neck, causing them to inhale sharply. "Now. Where are you camped?" Noting how the spy at his mercy was looking at his companion. "Adelaide. Search him." Dismounting her own Monstrous Nightmare, Adelaide approached the other spy, who was struggling against Jarl Sigfast's men who held him with swords at his throat.

After searching the spy's pouches and satchel around his torso, the young Jorgenson found a map and handed it to her mother. Going over the map, Irmgard looked at her husband. "This will lead us to Zlobina's camp, and it is not far where Viggo Grimborn spoke of his first encounter with our new enemy," folding the map and tucking it into a pouch behind her back, Irmgard looked at the other spy. "What does Zlobia have in store for us? Hmm?" In response, the spy spat on Irmgard's feet. Several of the Kingsguards suddenly arrived and awaited their king's relative's orders. "Lock them up and we will wait for Hiccup and Astrid to return in the morning. They will know what to do." As the spies were dragged away, they cursed them while also laughing hysterically.

"Your deaths are on their way!"

Extinguishing his flaming sword, Viggo's face twisted with worry, which didn't go unnoticed by Spitelout. "Anything you want to share, Grimborn?"

Crossing his arms behind his back, Viggo pursed his lips before speaking. "Facing Grimmel the Grisly's daughter is just one of the many threats will find ourselves facing shortly. I fear the worst is yet to come." Turning to Robin and his Boneknapper, Merlin, Viggo summoned the half-Viking and half-Saxon to his side. "Torture Zlobina's men and find out what you can, my boy. See if they can speak of any greater threats that loom beyond our horizon. Can you do that?"

"Gladly and happily," Robin cracked his knuckles before adding in a grim tone. "I've been dying to release some pent-up frustration. And training alone isn't cutting it, but making those rats squirm might."

Jarl Sigfast then spoke up once Robin and Merlin flew off. "If the enemy is waiting to attack us, it would be wise to ensure we don't find our throats slit while we sleep. Figuratively and literally speaking."

"I agree," Spitelout said before turning to Gustav and Adelaide with a nod. "You and the Auxiliary Riders will be on night patrol and keep an eye out for any more of Zlobina's agents trying to slither their way inside of this settlement."

"You can count on us, father."

Smiling at his daughter, Spitelout spoke tenderly. "I know I can, daughter," he then looked at Gustav before speaking firmly. "Gather provisions and everything you need for the night and report what you find first thing in the morning."

"Understood," Gustav then nodded at his fellow riders. "You heard him! Gather what you need and let's get to work!"

As the Auxiliary Riders rode off, Spitelout spoke up to the night sentries. "Increase the patrols! I want everyone on high alert for the rest of the night!"

Whilst the Jorgeson and Jarl Sigfast gave orders, Viggo looked at the full moon while his mind pondered on his daughter's well-being.

"We'll get her back. You know that, right?"

Looking at the Saxon shepherd, Viggo nodded softly. "I just hope that we reach here in time before Zlobina's bloodlust overwhelms her completely." With that said, Viggo walked back to his hut, eager to cross paths with Zlobina again, and not only end her life but bring his daughter back home.
