Conquering His Cold Heart

Chapter 750 No longer a girl (2)

Avira sat next to Frost on the bed, her shoulders touching his as she relished in the comfort of his presence.

She didn't want him to leave but knew that he ultimately would.

Frost was the first man she'd ever been smitten with. His appearance, his form, his voice, his personality, the timing of their meeting and the solace he brought her in her time of need, everything about him was perfect.

He was her first crush but unfortunately he didn't see her in quite the same way.

She was just a friend in his eyes, nothing more.

Avira with a hopeful heart asked him to stay but was rejected.

She sat in silence, her heart wounded by his reply

"...."

"...." Frost felt awkward but didn't know what to say. Avira was still his friend; he didn't want to lose that.

"Haaaaa" Eventually Avira let out a repressed sigh. She had failed but she wasn't going to let it get her down.

She stood up, straightened her clothes and turned to face her crush.

"I'm not going to give up Frost." Her eyes revealed a determined glint. "You may not be smitten with me right now, but you will be." She arched her back in an attempt to emphasise her curves.

"In the future you'll look at me the same way you look at Maya and Daki, I'm sure of it."

Frost's brow narrowed; she truly was determined.

"V?" Before he could reject her again Avira placed a finger upon his lips.

"It's not up to you Frost, I Avira Northrend, the future Empress of the Northrend Empire have declared it. You can try to resist, delude yourself or even run and hide but eventually you will be mine and I will be yours hehehe." Strangely Avira was laughing. She was filled with confidence and joy.

She would chase after him, hunt him down and make it impossible for him to live without her.

Her mother had taught her from a young age that if she truly wanted something then she should do everything in her power to get it.

Until now there was nothing she strongly desired but now there was and his name is Frost.

Frost felt a shiver run down his back as he saw madness and obsession in Avira's eyes. She had transitioned from a meek lamb into a determined wolf in an instant .

Strangely her shift in nature actually drew him in rather than repelling him. There was change in the way he looked at her.

Her magic seemed to be working on him already but clearly there quite a ways to go.

Frost grabbed onto her fair finger and moved it away from his lips. "You want to claim me V? To have me look at you in the same way I look at Maya and Daki?" He asked in a playful manner.

"Not want Frost, will!" Avira's face was inches away from his as she boldly declared her intentions.

If Frost was her consort he'd be in control of one of the largest and most powerful empires in Nova. What was the drawback?

She was clearly confused.

Seeing that she didn't understand, Frost let out a sigh and shook his head.

"Forget it, just know that you're high status, in my eyes is a negative." He couldn't be bothered to explain the depth of his reasons, nor did he want to reveal some of his closely guarded secrets right now.

"....Is it really that much of an issue?" She asked feeling somewhat deflated. From Frost's attitude it was clear that it would be a major impediment to their future relationship if there ever was one.

She could work on her personality, work on her figure and hope for a growth spurt but her status? What could she do about that?

Was there a problem with Northrend? Did he not think highly of her Empire or was he against the idea of having to run such a large territory.

If it was the latter then that was fine she'd handle everything but if it was the former then how should she go about fixing it?

"Honestly....yes, it is V." Frost spoke truthfully.

He had no desire to be dragged into the troubles of the Northrend empire. Regardless of the incentives the detriments outweighed the benefits.

Avira's role as Empress would make any romantic relationship between the two of them all but impossible, of this he was certain.

"....."

"....." There was another awkward silence between the two of them. Frost had made his stance clear, and Avira was momentarily stunned by it.

And for the first time in her life she began to regret being of royal blood.

Why couldn't she get what she wanted?

Why was her life so unfair?

"Hmph this doesn't change anything Frost! I'll still win you over yet." Avira refused to give up, she'd like to see him reject her when she's as stacked as Maya and Daki. By then he'd be so enamoured with her figure that her position as Empress would be insignificant. Explore stories on empire

"....." Frost really thought he had her but no, she double downed on her convictions instead.

"Whatever, my words don't seem to matter anyway." He gave up, if Avira wanted to chase after him then she could, he wouldn't stop her.

"Hehehe now you're getting it." Avira giggled playfully and without reservation as a wide smile appeared on her lips.

She was truly beautiful in this moment, so much so that Frost was momentarily captivated by her.

Her laugh was so free and natural, her body relaxed and at ease. This was her true nature, the nature of V rather than the prim and proper Princess Avira that she'd been displaying recently.

And in that brief moment of captivation Avira made a move. She planted her soft lips upon his, kissing him both lightly and deeply before turning around and running out the door with a crimson red blush on her cheeks.

That was her first kiss.
