'That was far more enjoyable than I thought it'd be.' Thought Frost as a joyful smile adorned his lips.
The screams, the smell of blood, the personal destruction of their last glimmer of hope. Frost thoroughly enjoyed each and every second of it, his heart filling with immense satisfaction.
He licked his lips in a way that could easily make those looking shiver in fright. A true monster was starting to be unleashed.
Thankfully this side of him was only shown towards his enemies but a few sadistic thoughts did creep their way towards another area of his mind.
Given that he was deprived of most 'sensual pleasures' during the wall development Frost's mind was prone to the occasional daydream. And right now it seemed that his imagination linked up with his more sadistic mood.
The evil smile on his face slowly morphed into something more lewd as images of his green enchantress bound by rope drifted to the forefront of his mind. A certain area grew and hardened as these images grew clearer and more diverse.
He saw Maya with a blindfold on, her mouth gagged as her body writhed from the external pleasure.
"Hehehe" A laugh escaped his lips as desire took hold.
"Master you're drifting off again." Just when Frost was about to ignore his schedule and hunt down his lovers to partake in his imagined play Findley spoke up from his side.
"Urgh" Frost groaned in displeasure.
"I know you've been struggling to restrain yourself recently master, but the wall is almost ready." Findley shook his head as he struggled to understand the extent of his master's cravings.
"Haaaaaa you're right as always Findley, our work needs to come first." Frost sighed and calmed down his rising emotions with great difficulty.
'It's all Khuno's fault. How dare he ditch work and get some while I have to restrain myself hmph.' Somehow Khuno had earned his master's ire.
"I'll go and inspect the wall, inform Maressa and her sisters that Kalia's head is ready and waiting for them."
"Understood master." Findley the ever dutiful subordinate saluted with his arm across his chest before teleporting to another part of the Dungeon.
"Two days and the deadline will be up; they better make it."
Following the end of Kalia and her comrades Frost as he said inspected the progress of the mighty defensive wall set 8 kilometres beyond the Dungeon's entrance.
Like every other day previous since work began the place was packed with people. Hundreds upon hundreds of labourers, adventurers and monsters could be seen all over the grand wall, slowly but surely adding to its already imposing height.
18 metres was the current average height across the entirety of the wall, already 50% higher than Furano's northern wall but considering their location a necessary measure.
"It's perfect."
Many labourers slumped to the ground from exhaustion, the strained tension and focus that kept them going for so long left the confines of their body, allowing them to at long last truly rest.
The requirements set by Frost had been cleared so now they could finish the final additions and more normal pace.
"Well done Rana, you exceeded my expectations."
"Hehehe thanks Lord Frost but I didn't do it alone, my workers, the adventurers, volunteers as well as your trusted subordinates all played a large part." Rana scratched the back of her neck as she felt a little embarrassed from hearing Frost's praise but like a good leader she didn't forget to spread the merit.
"Of course, everyone that took part went above and beyond for this project, I am immensely grateful." Frost knew that his sudden timeline was a very big ask and that many people thought he was paranoid but regardless they still did their best to meet his proposed deadline.
Feeling grateful Frost took a step forward and loudly spoke.
"Tonight we celebrate, all food and drink will be on me!" His words resulted in another round of celebration; they could finally let loose.
After a few more words of thanks and professional inspections Frost along with his loyal secretary Yuna returned to the Lord's manor.
Now that the wall was over 80% finished it could properly protect those that dwelled within thus leaving nothing to hold Frost back from embarking on his next adventure.
"Have the supplies been prepared, how are Avira and Borris?"
"We've put together enough supplies to last a month, food, camping gear, money etc you shouldn't have any problem with a prolonged expedition master." They also made sure to supply extras in case a certain Princess failed to properly take care of herself.
"Borris finished his preparations a few days ago and is currently using his remaining time to relax in the bath houses, partake in the higher ranked restaurants and occasionally interact with Daki."
"Princess Avira however seems to be getting more and more stressed. Luna while she was here tried to get her to relax at the bath houses as well as taking her shopping, but it seems she's really desperate to leave." Frost had Nanna as well as certain monsters keep a close eye on Avira's movements and the usual reports that passed through his hands corroborated what Yuna said.
The young Princess was very keen to leave here and reach Icethorne. Of course this wasn't anything against Frost or his territory but more that she just couldn't relax while her brothers continued to vie for the throne, and she remained without any viable support. Plus not having a confidant such a General Anya by her side or the shadow guards started to wane on her mind.
"Haaaaa inform her that we'll be leaving tomorrow perhaps that'll perk her up a bit."
"Yes master."
"Is there anything else?" With the focus primarily being on the wall's completion as well as his personal development most of the day to day Camp/city and Dungeon stuff was handled by Yuna and Findley respectively. Frost just received the occasional summary of what happened.
"Nothing that needs your personal involvement master but the number of possible spies as well as saboteurs has certainly been on the rise, especially over the last few days."
"Well that's no surprise."
