Valkyrie and Family 2.148

Viggo and Rosewisse were traveling in a carriage to the mansion of the goddess Hephaestus, Viggo's mother. She was on the left side, looking out the window and watching the dark streets of Orario. The streetlamps passed one after another, showing different types of people walking the streets. Rosewisse didn't look at anything in particular, she just thought about the unfortunate conversation she had with Viggo's wife, Semiramis.

-Don't be angry, Rosewisse- said Viggo -my wife, she's a strong-willed woman and doesn't like to be contradicted, even if she's wrong. She doesn't hate you or anything like that. It's just that she has something planned for Hitomi and doesn't want someone to come and destroy all her effort-

-I know, she seemed like someone stubborn- Rosewisse replied -thank you for defending me-

-It's nothing- replied Viggo from the front seat -but is that true that you are going to help me with the runes? I thought you only said it because you missed Hitomi-

Rosewisse looked Viggo in the eye, frowning and said in a tone full of reproach -you are to blame, your eyes all the time went to her tits What's so good about those masses of fat?-

-That, well- Viggo said dodgingly, looked away and replied casually -you can't stop the bees from going after the honey-

-You're disgusting-

Viggo let out a sigh and nodded. Then he stared out the window and tried to close his mouth so as not to worsen his position.

-With regard to the other- Rosewisse said -are we really going to do this?-

-Do you have doubts? Don't want to take revenge on Thor? It almost killed us, for no particular reason-

-Well, yes, but...-

-You've already heard my father. We get nothing out of making an elaborate plan if we don't have a way to escape. We must have the minimum of skill to be able to attack him as many times as necessary until he is killed. Someone like that, who only kills because someone crosses his path, should not exist-

-Still how?-

-We will start by improving our skills. I will teach you touki and you will teach me the way of strengthening you have. The fusion of both will do something. With regard to runes, we will study their use and potentiation. If we really want to do away with that guy, we need to be able to exchange positions. Finally, regarding what Mimir said, I'm going to talk to a person. It may give us access to the kingdom of Nilfheim. It is not certain, but if we succeed, we will be able to investigate what Ivaldi discovered that frightened Odin so much-

-You didn't seem sure to attack Odin last time- Rosewisse said.

-I am not yet, but between the fact that we investigate and strengthen ourselves, we can continue to investigate and maybe we find good reasons. If not, we will know a lot about Odin and have become strong enough to attack him, if necessary-

-In that case, I'd like to look for my grandmother- Rosewisse said.

Viggo nodded and added -I will accompany you, that way you will be safe. Maybe your grandmother helps us in some things-

-I don't know, I didn't know her, I only read about her in some books."

-She is a valkyrie who works for your goddess, she must know something, surely, she must know something-

-You are so carefree, saying that we do things without any plan in between-

-I do not have a plan as such, but I do intend to keep moving. When I gather all the pieces of the puzzle, I know enough to make a real plan and move accordingly-

-I, I want to believe that it will be so-

-Believe me, it will be like this. At the end of all this search we will know enough to know from whom to be-

-And at this moment on whose side will you be?-

-Of me and you- said Viggo with a smile brimming with confidence.

Rosewisse smiled sweetly and continued to look out the window, a little more relaxed to know that she was not alone in this land so different from Midgar or Vanaheim.

Once they arrived at the mansion, Viggo led Rosewisse to a guest room and returned to his room, where Semiramis and Scheherezade were waiting for him prepared with nightgowns to sleep.

They were sitting on the armchairs in the center, with a square glass table separating it from each other. He walked to where they were and sat in an armchair in between the two. On his right Semiramis and on the left Scheherezade.

-Can you tell me what this is about?- asked Viggo in a serious tone of voice.

-What thing, Viggo?- asked Semiramis, looking at him with her black eyes, full of disgust. She was really upset with him, mostly because he defended a stranger.

-You can say whatever you want, but you don't make me a fool. Hitomi is not someone simple-

-Do you say it because of her tits? From your look I thought it was the only thing you cared about-

Viggo was going to answer, he was quiet for a few seconds and then he said -no, it's not her tits. I mean your position is not so simple, right?-

-Am I lying to you?- asked Semiramis casually. She knew Viggo very well and above all she knew his weaknesses. His instincts were a two-button apparatus, yes or no. He could tell if someone was lying to him 100/100 times, with 100% accuracy. However, he couldn't know the truth of what he didn't know or felt. So, unless someone wants to attack him, he wouldn't know if he is his enemy. And if someone hid information from him or told a half-truth, he couldn't tell it apart either.

-You're not lying to me- Viggo said with complete certainty -but I know you, I know you're not telling me the whole truth-

-Hitomi is a slave- Scheherezade said from the armchair on the right.

-Traitor- said Semiramis, looking annoyed scheherezade

-What can I tell you? I am bothered by your attitude. Lately you think lady Hera and you feel smarter than everyone else. You can do that with everyone, but not with us. We are your family, remember it-

Semiramis looked away and let out a snort.

Viggo brought his hand to his face and let out a sigh. Then he looked at Scheherezade and asked -Can you call Hitomi?-

-Yes, immediately- Scheherezade replied, getting up and leaving the room.

Viggo looked at Semiramis and said -come with me-

-I don't want to-

-Why not?-

-Because...-

-Stop being so proud, I love you, you love me, what is the problem with you coming to my side?-

Semiramis turned his face and looked into his eyes. He smiled with kindness, a smile she couldn't resist. Semiramis let out a sigh and walked to Viggo, he stretched out a hand and she took it and sat on her lap. Viggo hugged her with his right hand and brought his left hand to Semiramis' chin. She turned her face away. Viggo put his hand on her chin and turned her face delicately. She looked him in the eye and Viggo kissed her. Then they shared a long kiss and then hugged.

-What's going on?- asked Viggo -Is there something wrong? Something you don't like? Would you like to live somewhere else? Do other things?-

-No, I juts, I think that being firmer like Lady Hera can be ready-

-Ready for what?- asked Viggo gently, brought his lips closer and gave her a small kiss. He bit her lip subtly and pushed away his face so that she could speak comfortably.

Semiramis looked at Viggo's eyes, a deep blue. Then she looked at the thick lips, intending to kiss him, but she calmed down and continued -I can't tell you, but it's important. In the future-

-The future is future. I brought you to this land, you were perfect as you were at the time, and you still are. Your eyes, your lips, your hair, your hands, your whole body. I really wish you, if only this little guy wasn't here- he said, bringing his left hand to his belly and touching where the baby was -I wouldn't hold back-

-Fool- she said, laughing, she gave a passionate kiss and said -the future does not wait, he comes like a merciless rider. We must be prepared-

-When that time comes, we will be, we have worked for them. You will build something beautiful; I will protect it and support you in everything that is needed. You are my empress-

-You are my emperor- replied Semiramis.

Viggo kissed her with all the passion, caressing the places where she was most sensitive to the point that she began to gasp. However, someone knocked on the door and interrupted them. Viggo let out a sigh, he was going to yelled to leave, now he was busy, very busy. However, Semiramis read his expressions, took his face, and shook her head.

-But- whispered Viggo.

-No, you called her. It would be impolite to send them back. Once they leave, I promise you what you want-

Viggo smiled playfully and stole a kiss -whatever I want?-

-Yes- replied Semiramis with a smile full of expectations -whatever you want-

-That sounds great- replied Viggo.

Semiramis got up from Viggo's lap and sat on her couch while she fixed her clothes and hair. Viggo waited until she was ready and when she was, he said -go ahead-

Scheherezade and Hitomi entered the room. For some reason, Hitomi walked in with blushing cheeks and a shy attitude. She saw Semiramis sitting on the couch on the right and Viggo's hand on the right armrest of the middle armchair. Scheherezade put a hand on her back and Hitomi walked at a slow pace until she sat on the couch in front of Viggo. Scheherezade sat in the armchair to Viggo's left.

-Very well- said Viggo with a calm attitude -let's start all over again. This time you will introduce yourself as you really should and tell me your situation. In the Dragonroad house we are not fond of slaves-

Hitomi looked at Semiramis as if asking her why she told Viggo, but she shook her head. Hitomi looked at Viggo sitting on the armchair in front, with hair as red as her. Blue eyes, dressed in a tunic that covered him from the waist to the knees and a belt with a lion's head in its center.

-I left the kingdom of Alf without permission, studied magic and other knowledge with various magicians. However, when I got into trouble, no one helped me- Hitomi said.

-That's not all- Semiramis added -do I tell him, or do you tell him?-

-That...- Hitomi said with blushing cheeks. She bows her head in shame and then look at Viggo –I was taken as a slave for wanting to free others-

-That's not the whole story-

-It's my story-

-Sure? the slaver who had you imprisoned said that a human seduced you, but that when you fled, he betrayed you, left with his true love and left you to deal with the problems-

Viggo looked at Semiramis with his eyebrow raised, in an expression of confusion and surprise.

Semiramis smiled mockingly and said -that's right, the great scholar knows nothing about love. She is someone so, so, so, into his knowledge that she has not developed that part that allows her to differentiate a good person from a bad one-

Viggo let out a sigh -ok- he said, bowing his gaze. Then he looked at Hitomi who looked at him embarrassedly. Viggo showed a kind smile and continuous -I won't say much about your slave status. In matters of the heart, for better or worse, one does not command- that made Hitomi smile, finally finding someone who did not treat her as a fool. Viggo continuous -we will free you and you will be able to return to your land-

-You can't- said Semiramis exaltedly.

-Why?- asked Viggo concerned about such a reaction.

-She cost a billion valis-

Viggo was left in stone, not knowing what to answer.

-Excuse me- Hitomi said. Viggo looked at her and she continued -regarding the debt, I already discussed it with Mrs. Semiramis. I will work until I can afford it, my services as a scholar will be of help to you, do not let you down-

-Me...- Viggo said somewhat confused.

-Accept it, Viggo- said Semiramis in a firm tone -it was not easy, nor free and her knowledge will help you-

Viggo stared at Hitomi, who smiled and stood up. She took the ends of her pajamas and bowed - from now on, please count on me, Mr Viggo-
