The Goddess' Champion

Chapter 4 A Cup Of Tea



"Then… I'll stay with you for now, in the meantime, could you explain to me my responsibilities?"

Constantine wanted to keep it simple, he grasped her hand that was on his cheek and lowered it down, not releasing.

In front of him is the most tempting piece of flesh he has ever seen.

'Y-You're just asking to be devoured, but I won't fall'

More than for decades of devotion to five wives had rusted his senses, now… he's no longer a womaniser.

Yes, right.

"That's wonderful, here, this is my home, it might be small and humbled compared to yours… please, sit" She declared with a smile, bringing him in.

Inside it was cosy, roots entangled one another coiling and forming this hut...

"Basically, after a lot of hard work, I managed to have you as my champion, there were several other goddesses fighting for you in the pantheon, but I had an advantage, Lady Nova assisted me, she's your mother-in-law~"

"Lady Nova?" Constantine took a seat on the wooden chair, listening to her explanation while said beauty walked alluringly around the small house, going to the kitchen and taking some utensils, all made with wood and metals.

"She's the higher Goddess of Space, consort of Lord Loki, your mother-in-law and my deepest friend. She assisted me in obtaining the opportunity of having you as my champion." Aurelianne's finger produced a small spark of flame that burned a cup of wooden ashes.

"By goddesses, you mean them?" He asked hopefully, not paying all that much attention to what she was preparing, but feeling the entire atmosphere was highly nostalgic.

"Yes, your five goddess wives, I'm surprised; you're the first ever to actually manage to court five goddesses, and 'them' no less, the daughters of two higher gods...." The awe concealed in her voice couldn't be denied, waving her hands once again, she produced a gust of water, surprising him even more.

"It was luck..." He sighed, it was his luck to meet such wonderful ladies, but to think they're goddesses.

"They were arguing to see who would take you in, you're supposed to be undergoing a 'punishment' of some sort, however, that's what Lady Nova told me... something along the lines of... 'bane of husbands'~ as well as your actions that technically overthrew the faith of that world's god, having it focus on yourself, you were obtaining faith, even as a mortal."

"..."

"Why would you want me as your champion, Aurelianne? I don't know anything about gods, or magic... it looks ridiculous to me even now as I'm watching you" He added, the 'kettle' prepared to boil as she prepared her herbs, it was minimal, but magic was present in this procedure.

"I have been watching you long before you perished... I wanted you from the beginning." Those words were said amidst hums, she almost danced in the kitchen, preparing appetizers and tea, moving along the breeze as even the sunrays followed her figure.

Constantine was captivated, for one moment he didn't focus on her body as alluring and noteworthy as it is.

"I see, it's a pleasure that you'd chose me." He felt that even if that's the case, it wasn't a detriment, 'I'm liking you so far, Aurelianne, a lot...'

"I'm the one honoured and will be in your care if you accept me, that is" She fidgetted, asking this important question right out of the bat, for her, this is the most important step.

"I'll even be your dog if you allow me to bite..."

"Ah?" The Goddess lifted her eyebrows slightly, believing she heard wrong, but aware that she didn't.

!!!

"I-I said... I'll do anything to earn my keep..."

'W-What did I just say!? Constantine... control yourself.'

"..." She kept silent for a while, eventually releasing a giggle, blushing.

"You have no keep to earn, this is your home... thank you, thank you for accepting me." As the tea prepared itself she approached him, surprised to see him pat his lap, indicating her to sit.

A smile afterwards, she took her rightful place on her 'throne' sitting neatly on his lap.

"So, as your champion, what do I have to do?" He caressed her hair, and as a response, her hand wandered around his waist.

"As my champion, your endeavour is to spread my faith across the world, I'll be your one and only goddess, you will be my one and only champion… I'll assist you but, may you excuse me, I'm a relatively young goddess, the assistance I can give you is limited but I will try my best." She rested her entire body on his, rendering his hands to start crawling here and there, one found to rest on her tight, and the other caressed her hair.

That hair was so silky.

"Don't worry, I'll help you to the best of my capacity."

She returned the hug, tightly gluing her body to him and releasing a sigh that confused him, it wasn't a relieved sigh.

Eventually raising her head, she delivered a swift kiss on the cheek, raising up and blushing madly, it rendered a chuckle to leave his lips due to her shyness, it was amusing that she is too shy to give a kiss on the cheek, yet not shy enough to wear those semi-translucent garments.

This time he pretended to look at her, closer.

[Punishment meter increasing...]

"You're so lovely, ever since I watched you back then in your fight against the Damas Empire, I wanted to meet you."

"You have been watching me for that long?!" He gasped, that was more than forty years ago!

"A-Ah, yes… is that bad?" She turned around with a cute downcast expression, even her elongated ears lowered slightly.

"No, but… how did you know about me?" He approached further, her hand moved swiftly, preparing something while mixing certain fruits, even baking.

He was close at all times, looking, enjoying.

"It was Lady Nova... since you managed to court all her daughters, she was obviously interested to see what kind of individual you were, at that time, she drew me to investigate you together."

Aurelianne swayed her body back and forth alluringly, unaware her bump wiggled with every turn.

Humming a song, she was aware of his heated gaze roaming along her body, aside from several side glances to the back and a smile, she didn't say anything.

"What kind of world is this?"

"This? This is my own dimension within the god realm." Switching her position slightly, her curves accentuated in a way that was slowly killing Constantine, he approached... yet again while biting his lips.

"No, the world I'm going to be sent into." He answered, trying to focus on the window to the other side of the door, but the aforementioned elf beauty walked in that direction to get some plates raising up on her toes, unable to reach them apparently.

He furrowed his brows and walked in that direction too,

Coming close to her until his front met her back, he picked up two plates, so close to her body in fact, that her big rump beneath the silk was rubbing his crotch slightly, she felt it and shivered.

They remained in that position for several seconds, his weight technically pressing her against the wooden counter.

"Thank you" She said, blushing madly and accepting the plates, something peeked against her silky robes and even her bump, but she didn't complain, rather... wondered with expectation.

"Why didn't you use your powers to lower the plate?"

"I-I forgot~" The goddess stuttered, each word rendering her blush a shade darker, but her eyes could only stare at him with longing.

"You're welcome." That's all he said before finally making some distance, earning a breathe to both of their lungs and some rest to their palpitating hearts.

...

She finished the tea and some appetizers shortly afterwards in beautiful silence and then took a seat in front of him on the table.

He sip on his tea, it was wonderful, the entire atmosphere was.

Her hands rested on the table, holding her head and expecting praise.

"It's delicious, Aurelianne." He could feel a sense of dejavu.

"I'm glad you liked it, dear~" The beauty produced her best giggle, something that shouldn't belong to this world, it warmed his heart to no end.

"..." He was rendered speechless, believing that at any moment this beautiful dream would end, it didn't happen, thankfully.

"About the world you're going to end up at, it is quite different from the one you were previously residing at, yours was a lower realm without a magic core, this one is a magic world filled with powerful beings, surely not anything someone as splendid as you can't handle~" She took one of the muffins and tasted it.

"You flatter me, my goddess, it might be more difficult for me than you expect." Magic looks easy enough if the way she uses it is anything to go by, but it is still something he has never seen before.

"So, do you formally accept me as your goddess?" Her question surprised him, this time she wanted to make it official.

"Didn't I already say I would?"

"Sorry, I might not have expressed myself properly, you are not yet my champion, although I do want you, I'd not like for you to think that I'm forcing you into anything." She fidgeted slightly yet again, Constantine was unable to understand how someone so breathtaking could lack confidence, or be nervous at all.

"I accept you, I'll be your champion, your knight." He took her hand, kissed the back of it and declared, not knowing whether this is the right procedure for 'champion hood'.

The lady giggled and took his hand, raising up she walked all the way to his side of the table and once again sat on his lap.

He waited patiently for what she had to say, her words were perhaps so important that even the entire atmosphere, the singing of the birds and the sun itself seemed to paralyse.

"You know, becoming my champion is not something simple, the relationship between a god and his or her champion, is sacred across the realm of the gods, it won't ever be broken and even if you die." She embraced him and caressed his silver hair, trying to convey a deeper meaning to her words.

"..." Upon the mention of 'death', he knew that was something very serious, but didn't expect her next phrasing.

"It will be way deeper... way stronger than marriage." She added, whispering beside his ears.

"..."

"Even then, do you want to go through this with me? a mere minor Goddess of Life?"

"I have already been given a second opportunity when I thought there was nothing else, if it's you, then I don't mind, Aurelianne." He didn't even think for more than a few seconds, his wives phased through his mind, he'd meet them in the future.

In the meantime...

!!!

"Thank you!" She embraced him tightly as her body started to shine with impatience.

He simply nodded with a smile, closed his eyes and waited, but the moment he felt something soft press against his face, he couldn't help but clench his fists and almost groan.

'You're looking for it!'

She had pressed his face between her breasts!

Aurelianne hugged him against her supple chest and started to recite some words, a magic circle engulfed her, then she kissed his forehead.

*WHOOOSHH!!!*

A gust of golden aura was released through the entire, house, the entire forest... the gigantic tree in the middle of this land shone brightly.

[Blessing of the Golden Seed, obtained]

He heard that voice in his mind once again, the 'secretary'.

She then kissed his right and left cheeks, producing an immediate reaction.

[Immortality of the Golden Tree, obtained]

[Race evolved to human-elf hybrid]

[Four Ether-rank Mana Cores, obtained]

And lastly, lifting up his face, she blushed for a moment before kissing his lips!

!!!

[Champion of the Life Goddess, title obtained.]

It was slow and succulent, never had Constantine tasted such delicious lips, passionate, slow... he enjoyed it to his heart's content and felt energy entering his body and settling.

The content of those words slipped out of his mind as he pressed her harder against his body, both Champion and Goddess wanted nothing more than to merge in this delightful ceremony that would mark the start of an everlasting relationship.
