"Right, what were you trying to say earlier?" Aaron asked.
After hearing this, Savannah still spoke softly, "Brother-in-law, that..."
"The scenery of Asgard is very beautiful, and the beautiful scenery of Nornheim is equally outstanding. Actually..."
She mustered her courage and looked directly at Aaron. "Actually, the scenery of Alfheim is also not bad at all. The forests are denser, the streams are gentler, and the peaks are taller and more majestic."
Aaron and Sif exchanged a knowing look and both laughed.
Savannah was indignant, and finding courage from somewhere, she straightened her chest and pursed her lips. "Everything I said is true. If you don't believe me, come and see for yourself."
Aaron smiled and nodded, glancing at Savannah and Nina.
"Of course I believe it. My eyes can see the most beautiful scenery of Alfheim. Everything you said is true, they are beautiful and not inferior at all. I must experience them properly when I have the chance."
Savannah smiled upon hearing this. However, she then realized that she had just spoken so fiercely to a powerful God King, and she wilted again. Her entire body seemed to shrink into a ball.
Nina awkwardly pulled Savannah back discreetly. "I apologize, Your Majesty, Princess is a bit..."
"You are a bit timid, but I believe that will change quickly."
Aaron walked over, patted Savannah's shoulder, and looked down into her amber-like blue eyes.
"Your brother-in-law's honor should also include a part for you. In the future, you can stand tall and talk loudly with people. Don't whisper like a quail."
"Otherwise, everyone who sees a timid little thing like you will want to bully you."
Savannah became even dizzier, nodding vaguely. Then she reacted and said, "No, they won't. My father is the King, my sister is the strongest Valkyrie in the Nine Realms, and there's my brother-in-law... You are the most powerful man, the greatest God King."
"No one will bully me."
"What about me? Will you let me bully you?" Aaron suddenly wanted to tease her.
Savannah bit her lip, and quickly looked up at Aaron. She stared at his beautiful golden pupils, and subconsciously nodded. "Only my brother-in-law can bully me."
"Is it a deal?" Aaron asked.
"It's a deal." Savannah nodded heavily.
Aaron laughed even more heartily, causing the surrounding people to look over frequently.
Other kingdoms in the Nine Realms, including the Asgardians, saw Aaron chatting harmoniously with Savannah, Nina, and the others. They secretly labeled Savannah as someone who must not be provoked.
The deterrent power of the Light Elves was almost nonexistent, but Aaron made all the gods tremble.
"Alright, Savannah and Nina, you two will stay in Asgard from now on. However, I will often be in Midgard, and you can come to Midgard to visit me and experience a different life."
"If you have any trouble, tell your sister. Sif will help arrange things for you."
Aaron stopped teasing Savannah. Teasing her occasionally was fine. But teasing her too much might give rise to a sense of guilt.
This kind of innocent, cute, and timid little girl needed to be taken care of properly.
If she wandered off outside, she would definitely be abducted. The type who would count the money for the person who sold her.
Aaron said a word to Sif, and then Sif took Savannah and Nina to tour around.
Savannah's face blossomed with a smile, she was very happy today.
Nina was also very happy. She was just a leaf accompanying the flower, Savannah but Aaron was actually able to accurately call out her name. Moreover, he had the noble Valkyrie help both of them simultaneously.
This level of importance made her feel exceptionally joyful, and she couldn't help but hold her head high and puff out her chest. Her perfect slender waist, shaped by long-term training, was especially eye-catching. Of course, others couldn't see that.
Delicate flowers need careful tending and watering, and they must receive plenty of warm sunshine every day, but they might not necessarily bloom into brilliant flowers, and they might also climb out of the wall.
But the small grass that acts as a complement is different. It only needs a tiny bit of light squeezed through the fingers occasionally, and a few drops of water sprinkled unintentionally, and the small grass can grow even more luxuriantly. And it is exceptionally cheerful and joyful.
...
After saying goodbye to Sif and the others, Aaron did not stay at the banquet any longer.
He did not like this kind of occasion. He did not need to flatter or force a smile as no matter how he responded, there would always be great scholars to interpret his words for him. They would automatically fill in the blanks and dare not speak too much. But Aaron still disliked it.
After sampling all the fine wine and delicacies, he left the banquet.
Although he, the protagonist, had left, the scene remained extraordinarily lively.
The atmosphere did not cool down. Instead, because of his departure, it became more relaxed and cheerful.
Even Laufey, after Aaron left, drank cup after cup for the first time, fiercely biting into chicken legs, as if trying to bankrupt Asgard through this method of eating.
Fandral held a wine girl, and Volstagg told story after story to his children and wife.
Thor moved through the crowd, completely at ease with the banquet.
Whether they were the strongest warriors, nobles, or foreign dignitaries, they were all extremely comfortable in this environment.
Especially the Asgardian people. Ever since the Jotunheim Peace Treaty in 965 AD, they had begun living a life of leisure that the outside world envied immensely.
They were the paradise envied by other civilizations in the Universe. They were falling into decadence day by day in this lifestyle.
Thor, moreover, had made no progress for a thousand years.
Compared to when they were conquering the Nine Realms, they were actually more like corrupt and decadent noble knights. They looked majestic, but in reality, they were better at banquets and preferred fine wine and delicacies.
Aaron glanced at them, then melted down the dagger, supposedly left behind by the primordial Frost Giant, that he had obtained from Laufey.
[Gigantism (King of the Frost Giants, Complete Version): Powered by the energy of the Casket of Ancient Winters, you will grow infinitely large.]
[Remnant Power of the Primordial Giants (Fire Giants, Frost Giants, Stone Giants Fusion): Your physical body is further enhanced, and you can continuously absorb energy faster from ice or intense fire, strengthening your control over ice, fire, and earth elements.]
The harvest was acceptable. Aaron could sense that his cells seemed to have become slightly more active again. The strength of every cell was reinforced once more.
Although it was only a slight increase, for him now, every bit of improvement represented a leap in potential realization and an exponential increase in power.
On average, each cell was probably equivalent to several All-Fathers.
"Aaron, you don't seem to like this environment?"
"You are the protagonist of this banquet. Don't you want to enjoy your moment of glory for a longer time?"
"Enjoying fine wine and delicacies, raising a toast with your subjects."
Odin walked over from a distance.
He had experienced countless similar scenes.
Although a Nine Realms celebration like today was a first, Odin had long since grown indifferent to it. He now only cared about the future of Asgard.
