Chapter 23 - Ch.23 Unexpected Breakthrough

Bjorn's wives guided the ladies to the rooms that they could use for the night.

"Excuse me. I was wondering if the two of us could talk to you two after we put our daughters to bed." Said Carrie with a plain look on her face not showing any emotion. Preena stood next to Carrie with a solemn look on her face as she nodded along with what Carrie was saying.

Without thinking to much about it Elraine replied in the affirmative saying that they could find Ashlaine and herself in the lounging area waiting for Bjorn anyways. Turning away She and Ashlaine walked towards the lounge.

"Ash, what do you think they want to talk about?"

"What else could it be other then our man. They probably feel regretful, I mean you saw the way that Bjorn reintroduced them to us. He said and I quote 'the first of the women to leave him.' Now I don't know about you but I have heard a bit about his time in the human lands and all I can say is it wasn't always bad but it definitely wasn't all sunshine and rainbows."

"En, that is true. I don't know much about his time there. Everything moved kind of fast when I got here. It has been a long time since he and I had a real conversation about some things. When he was in the human lands, we barely had any contact and when we did it was mainly him telling me he was fine and then he would break the connection."

Walking for just around a minute they arrived at the lounge and decided to share a couch together. One woman at either end they lifted there legs and laid them over each others. and continued to have some light conversation while waiting. Around 10 minutes later Preena and Carrie walked into the lounge and took a seat on the couch opposite Bjorn's wives.

Looking at the two other worldly beauties that had their legs laid over each others, Preena sighed in her mind. Thinking that she couldn't even put up a fight compared to their beauty. Carries mind was a bit different she was feeling a bit cheated by Bjorn's reluctance to tell them about his real identity when they were together. Not even thinking about her act of betrayal to him in the past.

"So ladies what did you want to talk about?"

Hearing Ashlaine's voice the two women snapped out of their own musings. Gathering her thoughts first Preena was the first to speak.

"Curious, how long have the two of you been with Bjorn?"

The first to reply to her question was Elraine.

"Hmm, I have known Bjorn for quite awhile, probably something right around twenty years give or take a few. But we only just confirmed our relationship."

"Ehh, for myself I have known Bjorn for around 29 years. I am a little bit older then Bjorn so I left on my journey before him. But when he got back he immediately swept me off my feet."

Preena and Carrie listened to Bjorn's wives talking and couldn't help feel a pang of jealousy. Carrie picked up on something though. These women both said that they haven't been with Bjorn for very long. Perhaps she could sway him to let her back into his bed. 

Carrie has always been an opportunistic woman. That's the reason she first got with Bjorn and was also the reason why she was the first woman to betray Bjorn after listening to Scala.

"I wonder if you ladies can answer this question for me?" Carrie asked Bjorn's wives suddenly.

"Umm sure go ahead."

"Do you two know what happened, where is Scala I thought she would always be with Bjorn."

Ashlaine and Elraine both got scowls on their beautiful faces as they heard Scala's name. Being the spunkier of the two women Ashlaine spoke harshly.

"Yes, we do. Just like she most likely did with the two of you, she schemed so much that she schemed against herself as well."

With a look of disgust on her face Elraine followed up what Ashlaine said.

"Truly a disgusting woman. But then again anyone who could betray Bjorn is disgusting. She takes the cake on that one though, definitely the most disgusting of them all."

Elraine's words had quite a bit of scorn in them and her eyes subtly showed the disdain for the women sitting across from her. To her anyone who could betray the perfect man in her eyes was just trash and should just be thrown into the garbage pit. The only reason she was putting up with these two was because of two reasons. The first being that they had their young and innocent daughters here and the little babies didn't deserve to be blamed for their mothers misdeeds in the past. Secondly they had just gone through all the work to save them, it would be a shame to not follow through with the rescue. She isn't a monster just loves Bjorn a little bit too much.

Anger flashing through her eyes Carrie stood up abruptly.

"How can you sa-"

Just as she started to yell at Elraine for what she felt was a personal jab she was interrupted. 

A bright light started shining outside along with a heavy oppressive aura slamming down on top of everyone nearby. Even the little girls weren't spared from it but luckily there bodies were forced back into unconsciousness and they didn't have to suffer the feeling.

"Oh no, is it another enemy attack?"

"I don't know Elraine but we have to get out there and support Bjorn."

"But what if it is someone strong and we just get in his way?"

"That is true but I just got my husband and I don't want to lose him without a fight! You should feel the same Elraine!"

"Of course I do! Fine then I was just trying to be logical but screw it. Lets go help our man!"

With that said both Ashlaine and Elraine shot out the door and in the direction the light and heavy aura.

Looking at the backs of the two running out of the room, Carrie and Preena didn't know what to do. Turning her head to Carrie, Preena spoke before following Bjorn's wives outside to see what was going on.

"Carrie, I know what you are probably thinking because we have been friends for our entire lives. Just remember, we did betray him not the other way around. On top of that you still have a husband waiting for you to come back."

Starting to fume inside because she knew what Preena said was right, she still felt indignant. What did she truly do wrong. She just found a new man before leaving the old one. Scala had shown her how much more her benefits would be with that jarl instead of Bjorn. You cant blame a girl for looking out for herself. Right?

Ending her train of thought Carrie decided to follow the others outside to see what was happening as well.

***

Outside Bjorn's wives looked into the light to see Bjorn's glowing figure. Just staring at him they found themselves in a daze their hearts throbbing with intense love for this man. Every second it seems to get stronger and stronger.

Snapping out of their daze when they heard Preena and Carrie Joining them outside, they glanced at the two before turning back to Bjorn. Observing him they noticed some peculiarities, on top of glowing brightly and releasing a heavy aura, he had all of the different elements of the world circling his body. It looked almost like the elements were dancing in joy.

Suddenly the elements stopped their dance. In a flash, they moved and were absorbed into his body. Next they felt Bjorn's already oppressive aura begin to become stronger and stronger.

From Bjorn's point of view he had finally figured out what he was trying to and was elated. In his elation he didn't notice the energy in his body rejoicing as well. I was releasing waves of gently energy that was instantly merging with Bjorn. It seemed almost like the energy was rewarding him for his hard work. All of this was unknown to Bjorn though.

Being happy with himself for his discovery, Bjorn was just about to come out of his meditation when he felt it.

His realm was advancing.

It started off slow just moving a minor level but then it hit hard. It was almost painful when the power started coursing through him suddenly. It quickly changed to a mix of pain and euphoria when Bjorn realized what was happening. His body started adjusting to handle the increase in his power.

By the time the power had calmed down and his body had made all of the adjustments needed Bjorn was even happier than before. He had just advanced to the divine king realm level 3.

"Holy shit Bjorn! You just advanced to the divine king realm!"

"Congratulations my love. I am so happy for you! Ask me for anything and I will reward you."

The first words he heard came from his two wives and he could help but smile at the love he felt coming from them. He could tell that they were genuinely happy for his advancement.
