Chapter 527: A Boat Beneath the Stars*

The lake was quiet when Nero suggested taking a boat out onto the water.

Khione glanced at him, then at the lake stretching beneath the artificial stars.

"A boat?" she asked.

"Why not?"

She gave him a look that suggested she found the idea a little ridiculous. Nevertheless, she lifted one hand toward the water.

Frost spread across the surface.

The lake rippled as ice rose from its depths, gathering and shaping itself under her control. Within moments, a small boat had formed, its smooth crystalline body shimmering beneath the starlight. It was simple, elegant, and entirely made of ice.

Nero inspected it with approval.

"Not bad."

Khione stepped into the boat. "You make it sound as though you expected me to fail."

"I would never."

"You’re smiling."

"Am I?"

She ignored him and extended her hand.

Nero took it, stepping aboard. The boat rocked gently beneath their combined weight before settling into the water.

Khione guided them away from the shore.

Without oars or sails, the little boat glided across the lake, carried by the currents she created. A faint trail of frost lingered behind them, disappearing almost as quickly as it formed.

For a while, neither spoke.

The distant shore grew smaller. The artificial stars reflected upon the dark water, their scattered lights trembling with every gentle ripple. A cool breeze passed over the lake, stirring Khione’s long white hair as she sat beside Nero.

He leaned back, watching the sky.

"This is nice."

Khione turned her gaze toward him. "You dragged me onto a lake in the middle of the night just to say that?"

"Would you prefer I give a speech?"

"No."

"Then I’ll stay quiet."

"Good."

Nero closed his eyes, wearing the faintest smile.

Khione watched him for a moment before looking away, though the corner of her lips lifted slightly.

The boat continued drifting.

Eventually, Nero shifted closer and rested his head against her shoulder. Khione paused, then relaxed beside him, allowing her hand to find his.

Their fingers intertwined.

There were countless things waiting for them beyond this peaceful pocket of the world. The trial would end. Their lives would resume. Enemies, secrets, and uncertain futures would once again demand their attention.

But none of those things mattered here.

Not beneath the borrowed stars.

Not with the quiet lake surrounding them and the person they loved sitting beside them.

Khione gently rested her cheek against Nero’s hair.

Neither said anything more.

The little ice boat drifted farther into the lake, carrying them through the stillness of the night, while the stars watched over their brief, undisturbed happiness.

Upon their return, satisfied they deployed their high grade tent, and went to the bed, they missed each other so naturally they soon become united, they made love.

Khione looked incredibly cute as she writhed in his arms.

"Babe, I’m about to cum!"

"Ahh!! Cum...cum inside me.I’m also...about to cum, let cum together.’’

Once he had permission, Nero intensified his thrusting even more. His dick felt like it was made of steel as it danced freely around inside her, stirring up her honeypot.

He used his youthful energy to thrust again and again until the girl surrendered before him by reaching climax before himself.

"Ah~!!"

She let out a wild voice as her entire body convulsed.

The crazed undulating motion of her body repeated again and again and her vagina tightened seductively around him.

This was the last straw for him. He grabbed her hips and pushed his cock all the way in then groaned and sprayed his cum into her vagina while continuing his piston-like movements.

’’Ohhhhhh!’’

The Ice Queen wordlessly trembled as her vagina continued contracting again and again until she had sucked out every last drop and her eyes once again began to roll back as the pleasure that hit her was too high for her brain to comprehend.

She soon fall asleep but she could feel the sensation of something cold running along her body and a sweet bloomed on her face, her man was so sweet. He would always take care of her after she passed out during sex, she would stay with him forever.

After cleaning their bodies, Nero slept, he let her use his arm as a pillow.

Late in the night, Khione woke up but didn’t immediately leave the bed, she observed her man’s sleeping face and was entranced, she caressed his face, his hair had grown longer, maybe tomorrow she would have to help him cut them, she loves doing it, she loves everything about him hence her sudden declaration.

’’I love you, Ner with everything I have. That means I would defend you with my life even if the odds were insurmountable. It means I will comfort you in the difficult and painful times. It means I will dance and rejoice with you when times are good. It means I will never betray you, never give up on you. It means finding my fire when you, my loved one, is threatened, yet never waging war - only doing what is necessary for a noble defence. Love says I forgive you when you err. Love says though life may test me I am yours into eternity and I will never abandon you. It means I will never put you in danger no matter how noble the "cause" may be. Love means protecting the earth, protecting humanity, being kind to animals, but should anyone demand your life to save their own I will tell them to rot in hell. There can never be a higher calling to me than protecting and caring for those I love. Love is not a concept for sheep, for sheep run at the first sign of fear; it is a concept for lions, so be brave my love and know that I am here.’’

A solemn vow to herself, she could feel it, the wind of change was blowing and whatever was awaiting him she would there to have his back, so her clan, it’s time to use them thoroughly, previously she doesn’t like meddling in the clan affair because she left the succession to her brother, still her father had hoped she would take part in the clan decision making, she had refused in the past but now she had reconsidered, she would make use of them to completely back Nero, this should give her man a considerable support in what was about to come, she had no doubt about it.
