Chapter 21: Frieren: Anything for Magic
"Honestly, I can hardly believe my luck! I've always wanted to fuck an elf, but little did I know that when I finally got the opportunity, it would be THE elf! Frieren the Mage of the famous Hero Party who defeated the Demon King so very long ago! Ah... this is the best!"
Humans really were strange, weren't they? Just when Frieren thought she might finally be beginning to understand humans, something like this happened that made her have to rethink everything she believed she knew about the species. Seriously, paying money for sex? Who even thought of something like that?
Well... this man did, obviously. Equally obviously, she was here in the master bedroom of his estate because Frieren had ultimately decided to agree to his terms.
She hadn't been planning on it initially, of course. When they'd first arrived in the city and realized that they were once again out of funds, her and her new party of traveling companions hadn't been entirely sure what they were going to do. There had also been some finger pointing and uncalled for name-calling in Frieren's humble opinion.
So what if she bought every magical artifact and potion that the group came across?! That didn't make her spending 'careless'. And even if the magic items and potions she spent their shared money on turned out to be less than useful in combat situations, that didn't make them shady either! All magic was interesting to someone such as her. When you lived to be a thousand years old, every new spell and every piece of magic you'd never seen before was worth checking out.
... Which was sort of what led her to here. Apparently, while they were trying to figure out a way to obtain more funds so they could resume their journey to the North, a nobleman of no small stature had found out there was an elf in the city and had shown up outside of their tavern to offer her and her party a rather large sum of coin for the chance to fuck her.
To their credit, as much as they clearly wanted the money, none of her groupmates had actually tried to pressure her into just accepting the deal right then and there. If they had, Frieren would have had to reconsider her association with them. And honestly, the thought of giving this stranger her body even just for a night had Frieren hesitant at first.
But then, seemingly knowing more about her than the white-haired elven mage would have thought, the nobleman had sweetened the deal and offered Frieren one of his rare grimoires containing a new piece of magic... the spell for peeling the shell off of boiled eggs in a single go.
And thus did Frieren find herself agreeing to his terms, only to be carried away by his carriage. Now here she was in the man's bedroom, with the man himself looking at her eagerly and expectantly. Frieren, meanwhile, eyes the grimoire he'd given her for confirmation one more time before nodding. It was what he said it was and that meant she had to have it. But since she was no thief, there was only one way to obtain it.
"Very well. Where do we begin?"
Swallowing thickly, the nobleman hums for a moment... before shrugging.
