Seeing Laufey's expression, Loki became even more smug. "Oh, and the Frost Giants recently made a harsh threat to us, saying they would give Asgard what it wanted. Let me think, it seemed to be... war..."
"Warrior's friendship."
Laufey's smile became even uglier as he said, "Loki has my blood flowing through him, and he is also Asgard's second prince. He is the symbol of friendship between the Frost Giants and Asgard, the bond of peace and goodwill between our two races."
"Odin... the All-Father has always hoped for peaceful coexistence between the two races, so I believe that Jotunheim can absolutely achieve peace with Asgard, and our friendship will last forever."
Laufey spoke against his true feelings, vaguely hearing jeers and laughter from Volstagg and others in the distance.
Damn it, I've become the person I hate.
Laufey wanted to say more but Aaron stopped him from continuing.
"I hear you are very skilled in ice magic. Coincidentally, I also know a bit. I'll visit sometime and offer some pointers."
What? Don't you dare come over!
Laufey couldn't help but tremble at the thought of Aaron freezing Surtur at his peak into a statue and turning Muspelheim into an ice planet.
Laufey quickly said, "We are not skilled in ice magic, especially in front of you, the controller of ice. We are even less qualified to say such things."
"Your Majesty Aaron, you are the true God of Ice, surpassing our race. We sincerely and eagerly await your leadership of Asgard and the Nine Realms."
Even Loki couldn't help but look over at these words.
Who said Laufey only knew how to fight and kill? Isn't he quite eloquent?
Aaron was also quite surprised, but he didn't continue talking to the other party and instead looked in another direction.
A tall, charming woman in a purple royal court robe, holding a glass of purple wine, gracefully approached.
Aaron instantly abandoned the ugly Laufey and walked towards her.
Loki glanced at the relieved Laufey and quickly followed.
Seeing this, Laufey cursed him as a lackey in his heart.
How could he have given birth to such a fool?
Of course, all of this was just in his mind. The relationship between Loki and Aaron seemed very good. He couldn't afford to offend them at all.
If Loki were to whisper in Aaron's ear again afterwards, the distant Jotunheim might get a few degrees colder.
No, it might also instantly soar by thousands or tens of thousands of degrees, evaporating on the spot.
He suspected that Aaron probably wouldn't be as merciful as Odin. If he angered him, the Bifrost Bridge really would turn into a Planet-destroying cannon.
"Uncle, this is Queen Karnilla of Nornheim, also a great magic user second only to me."
"However, Asgard does not recognize her self-proclaimed title of Queen of Norns. Because of this, Karnilla is quite displeased with us."
Loki quickly clarified the closeness of their relationship.
This time, he didn't add any embellishments.
His discernment was quite good.
Looking at the entire Frost Giant race, apart from him, Loki, there wasn't a single decent looking one.
As ugly as could be, an eyesore.
But now it was different.
Nornheim had people similar to Asgard and Vanaheim, with comparable physical qualities and decent magic development.
There were even the famous three Norn Goddesses. Even Odin held them in high regard.
Especially this woman in front of him, who called herself the Queen of Norns, was rumored to be the most beautiful woman in Nornheim, and her magic was so exquisite it could rival Odin's.
He wouldn't comment on her appearance because he wasn't interested in women. Beautiful or not, it was all the same.
As for magic... he was the Nine Realms' first magic user.
"Greetings, Your Majesty Aaron, the respected new king of the gods."
As soon as she approached, Karnilla showed a luscious smile, her red lips slightly parting.
"I am Karnilla of Nornheim, and I am delighted to meet you here." Karnilla extended her hand.
Aaron shook it, and his palm was suddenly hooked by a finger.
Hmm? This woman...
Karnilla's expression remained unchanged, and she continued to smile, "Your Majesty, are you alone? Today is your day of glory, and I think everyone would agree that a great hero should always have a beauty by his side."
Loki was startled upon hearing this. Was she planning to poach him right in front of everyone?
Aaron raised an eyebrow. "Karnilla, do you mean..."
Karnilla slowly stepped forward, actively linking her arm with Aaron's. "Great hero, may I have the honor of being your companion for the rest of the day? Even if it's just for a brief day and night."
She emphasized the last phrase and playfully winked.
!!!
Sif, come quickly!
If you don't come soon, Uncle will be snatched away by the bad woman next door.
Loki was so anxious he wanted to use magic to alert Sif. But when he tried to use magic, he was horrified to find that his magic wasn't working.
He looked at Karnilla's meaningful and dangerous gaze, which seemed to sweep over him inadvertently, and immediately, alarm bells rang in his heart.
This woman... interfered with his magic without a sound.
Sorry, Sif, I've tried my best. This is the position you left open yourself. Leaving it to another woman for one night... should be fine, right?
Loki naturally wouldn't make things clear, after all, he was the Nine Realms' first magic user.
Magic failing? Impossible.
He just saw that Aaron didn't stop her and didn't want to disturb his uncle's good fortune.
Loki remained silent.
Aaron had already felt the other party's unreserved sincerity and passionate heart.
A generous bosom, and a substantial squeezing sensation... pure, rich, and bountiful.
Karnilla was dressed very conservatively, but her natural beauty, even when wrapped in that extraordinary purple gown, still made one want to explore its depths.
Aaron naturally accepted it with a smile.
"I think this should represent the inseparable friendship between Asgard and Nornheim." He said meaningfully.
As his arm moved slightly, Karnilla's body stiffened slightly.
It was actually vibrating!
This feeling...
Karnila bit her lip, suppressing the numbing sensation, and sweetly smiled. "Your Majesty is right, Nornheim is honored to have a stronger, younger, and more powerful King to lead them, to help them."
"After all, Nornheim is still a fertile land waiting to be developed."
"And there are also the Fates (Urd, Verdandi, Skuld) who control fate, with their beautiful appearances. Before I left, they spoke to me many times about your majestic figure and bright future, praising you immensely."
"I believe Your Majesty will be very interested." Karnilla said with a suggestive tone.
Aaron listened and nodded repeatedly. "I've always heard that Nornheim is quite wealthy and generous. Everyone who goes to experience the scenery is incredibly reluctant to leave. Perhaps I at least have an afternoon to properly explore that beautiful and fertile place."
Karnilla's expression paused slightly. Afternoon?
She looked at the bustling and lively banquet hall, filled with people coming and going.
It was just noon. Wouldn't there be more socializing in the afternoon?
Karnilla was a little flustered. She hadn't received Aaron's assurance yet.
As the Queen of Nornheim, she paid close attention to Asgard and naturally knew that Sif was almost universally considered Thor's future wife, the future Queen of Asgard.
However, after Aaron arrived, Odin immediately pushed Sif towards Aaron.
After learning that Aaron also possessed the blood of a Celestial and might have an infinite lifespan, Karnilla abandoned the idea of resistance and instead thought about winning Aaron over.
What you, Odin, can offer, we can also provide.
We also have the Fates who control fate. I believe no one would refuse a glimpse into their own future.
If Aaron could be won over and become the King of Nornheim, then they would completely break free from Asgard's control and even have the opportunity to truly rise.
Even if that wasn't possible, then as a second-best option, becoming Aaron's lover to secure true independence for Nornheim would also be good.
Just as how after Frigga became Odin's wife, Vanaheim was able to maintain its autonomy.
Why couldn't her Nornheim do the same?
But...
She was prepared to offer herself. However, what she originally thought was for them to have a good chat in the afternoon, and then consider the serious matters in the evening.
