----------------------------------------
To be honest, I should have expected Ryla and Agnes to be two of Radgeirrson's 'well-trained' favourites. Surprisingly, they have had the hóra procedure performed, which I now know involves a bone needle being inserted, and then some plant extract is injected. Anyway, Agnes and Ryla are thus unable to have children and are 'perfectly safe'. Both hope to fulfil the same service as my entertainers and bed slaves. Hopefully in Thrymheim. They have assumed I would appreciate having them available for entertainment and my bed, and just waited for me to arrive in Forsheim so they could prove themselves. My disinterest in their services frightened them, especially when I didn't ordered them here for the wedding, and so they travelled here, and Heimir, who had his own thoughts about service here, came along.
Almost immediately after the meeting room doors closed, and they saw it was just me and Alith in there, they pulled up their skirts as they slid down on all fours and crawled over to show how submissive and well trained they are. It felt so wrong to see them crawling to my legs, trying to kiss my feet and seductively hugging my lower legs while stroking my crotch, wanting to show off their oral prowess. My reaction of reaching out to stop them, only made them start kissing my hands and sucking on my fingers, begging me not to get rid of them. I was not prepared for that. Or what was coming. Ryla gracefully lifted one leg straight up as she lifted the skirt part of her dress and spun around, while Agnes gracefully did the same and they showed how they had prepared and wore a tail plug in their bum. Agnes gliding down and sitting in a split began to caress Ryla's legs and vagina and lick her, while Ryla just bent her upper body down towards the floor and after they exchanged a sensual kiss she began to lick Agnes' breasts with her own huge breasts on full display. Very flexible acrobats, who didn't care that Alith was right next to me. Lots of piercing and gold jewellery, especially Agnes who has rings in her labia.
They said that they have also satisfied Mrs Aldis, and are of course only too happy to satisfy my wife and my partners. I made them stop their incredibly flexible demonstration, and they seemed so afraid of having displeased me. Expecting to be slapped or worse, and to be thrown out from Thrymheim and perhaps even Forsheim.
They were so willing to answer my questions and be of service. I have taken over Radgeirrson's lands and slaves, and a lot of his servants now serve me, including Shakini, so even though Shakini told me that I am nothing like Radgeirrson, maybe that's just the public image. Radgeirrson pretended, so maybe I'm just better at pretending and more discreet, or wanted to test how 'loyal' they actually were. Age is often uncertain, but they are about 20 or 21 years old and grew up as Circus children and have trained to be acrobats, jugglers, fire performers and entertainers since they were children. They were sold into slavery and came to Radgeirrson as 11-12 year old, when he started indoctrinating and training them. Living on Forsheim as his bards, jesters, musicians, dancers and for sex, has been their reward for how well trained and loyal they are. Battle master Heimir was hired to give them combat and weapons training, and Forsheim's Leidung warriors have received less training, although Leidung is voluntary for free men and often for 3 or 5 years. Ryla and Agnes train 6 days a week, first running, then fighting and then music and dance and such. They have received an incredible amount of combat training to be able to protect and give their lives for their master and lady.
They have fought so many many times in their lives, including fighting to the death against other slaves, which is surprising and not surprising at once. Radgeirsson was an arsehole, and this world is cruel.
Both of them seem so incredibly indoctrinated and intent on being and doing what their master wants, that they just want to know what I want so they can fulfil it, and when I neither punished nor rewarded them after the duels, it made them more fearful. It took a while for me to realise how genuinely scared they seem to be of given freedom like Shakini and others have been, and being 'forced' to make a life for themselves as bards, jesters, entertainers or shield maidens, that I got a vibe of how desperate Ciara was to live with me and to get her contract. They come from different lives and experiences, and their fears are different, but that desperation in their eyes and voices was similar.
Sure, they are incredibly skilled entertainers and close combat warriors, and certainly not bad at sex, but I was pretty set on not needing them here all the time, because how often will we have feasts? We could fetch them when needed. I hardly use Caecilia's services when it comes to entertainment and sex, and I don't want to 'inherit' Radgeirrrsons' 'toys'. The primary reason for letting them serve is actually as secret bodyguards while they are skilled performers, but it still just feels wrong because they really hope I will have sex with them. But there are times when we really need more bodyguards even if they don't live with us every day, so Ryla and Agnes can sleep in the guest house and get more music training, and of course learn to read and write, and occasionally act as secret bodyguards. Should Iselin or Kari, for example, need to go on a two- or three-week trip again, they can come along. They could have travelled with Kari to her estate.
Iselin has already and quite correctly pointed out that they will be more useful living close to us than in Forsheim or Kari's estate. And from what I have just experienced, they seem potentially extremely loyal. Alith's opinion is that I should accept them, because they are ridiculously skilled in combat, and many forms of entertainment. Also, they have no family and can never have children, and thus no man will marry them. So let them swear their lives to serve me and my household and keep secrets, and make them free necks. It might be true, that just saying I won't have sex with slaves I own, will probably make them accept becoming free necks.
I too can see what is the smart decision, but I can also see a whole lot of negatives due to my women and slipping morals.
----------------------------------------
I would have liked to talk to Kari before making a decision about Agnes and Ryla, but we can predict what she will say, no matter what her true feelings and fears. Ciara didn't seem to mind, and was just pleased that we will have such awesome entertainment and skilled bodyguards. Iselin really don't seem to mind two more eager women in our lives, but then again, she did enjoy the threesome with Alith, and now I know my wife better. She's also just happy for the incredible show Agnes and Ryla made and that we will be able to see more of, but she also shot her own black powder. Jane was the only reluctant one, but she get why they're good to have adjacent to our lives, and if she's going on a journey in this horrible dangerous world, she would like to have someone like them as a discrete bodyguard, beside other bodyguards. Plus they can help with all the musical projects.
Ryla and Agnes were so grateful to pledge their lives to serve me and my household, but I can't really imagine what a huge relief it must have been when I removed their necklaces. Too many in my company have experienced that feeling. Iselin, Ciara, Jane and Caecilia are well aware that Ryla and Agnes want to give me and them sexual satisfaction, and Iselin is not entirely adverse to that. Especially if Caecilia and I are not around. Ryla even has very large, beautiful breasts that look amazing on her beautiful and graceful athletic and flexible body. Tomorrow Iselin will take measurements for bras as both will have at least a sports bra, so I guess I'll hear who got the biggest boobs. All of Agnes and Ryla's gold piercings, jewellery and beautiful clothes, including some made entirely of more or less transparent lace, as well as their weapons, were not their property but were mine as their owner, but after they swore their lives to me and I've made them free, I gave it to them. Worth quite a lot yes, but it felt weird to take it or give it to someone else just for its value.
Sitting and working with Iselin feels good, especially when Iselin is in such a good mood. Ryla and Agnes were a good distraction from the threesome with Iselin and Alith earlier today, but it was nice. Different from a threesome with Iselin and Caecilia, as Caecilia is way more intimate with Iselin than Alith was comfortable to be, but Iselin didn't mind that and Alith didn't complain when Iselin finally got to experience her breasts and nipple rings while we had sex. As a little gift for how well Alith learned black powder, I gave her a stacked dildo. Both Iselin and I gave it to her several times.
She was right that it would be nice with Alith, and she finally got to experience her amazing 65G breasts that she has been dreaming about for half a year, and Iselin would appreciate a repeat in the future. Iselin had from the beginning hoped that Alith might be open to joining her in bed occasionally, as she didn't predict how her life with me would develop, and had assumed that Alith wouldn't have sex with me, given how shieldmaidens tend to view their master and their service. Unfortunately that didn't happened, but Iselin is way happy that I love her too and that I didn't care about her background and that we're now married. She is also pleased that Alith and I seldom have sex and that was the first time in my bed. Iselin definitely has an inferiority complex towards women with large breasts, unless she too can enjoy them. But, if I hardly have had sex with Alith, Ryla probably won't be an issue either. She don't have to mention that even though she has given me carte blanche, she might revoke that if I abuse it.
Huummm.... Kari and Jane have about the same breast size as Iselin, and in the B-C range, which may be a contributing factor to their easier acceptance, and Caecilia who have E, was way open about sex with Iselin.
Iselin has known about Alith's and my 'occasions' since my birthday, when they returned from to the King's farm from Borgarsandr. Alith and I didn't notice it, but Iselin smelled sex in the bedroom, and it was just the two of us there. The fact that Alith had a satisfied happy little smile was just an extra clue, before she also overheard Ciara telling me that Alith had talked to her about it. She only heard bits through the somewhat open window, but she did hear some, like how the sex between Alith and me was just sex without feelings.

Iselin has been drawing conclusions ever since, and occasionally noticed things. She almost expected there to be something more between us, just like Jane has become, but Kari, Ciara and Caecilia came into my circle, and we've kept it discrete enough that not even Iselin has noticed anything special. She has only guessed that we had sex at certain times, including at the Inn in Laxlanda. Iselin knew how shooting their black powder might affect Alith, because she too remembers the first time Alith shot and just sat on the ground next to Bodil. But when we didn't act upon that, even in my bedroom when Alith was 'so obviously horny', she decided it was time to show that she likes it if a suitable willing woman occasionally join us in our marriage bed.
My wonderful wife Iselin is so exceptional in so many ways, and my love for her only deepens as time goes by, and I learn to understand and appreciate her more and more.
I was well aware that she likes sex with women too, and likes sex when it is just sex without deeper feelings. We both know she loves threesomes with an extra woman more than I do, especially if they have big boobs and they like sex with women. Iselin loves me and our sex when it's just the two of us, but she likes sex with women too, and when the right woman joins us, it's that much better.
However, Ciara and Kari are not suitable because both focus almost entirely on me - especially Ciara. So, Iselin prefers to appreciate Ciara's body and breasts in a beautiful dress. Ciara does look so much better and healthier than when I first met her, and she have regained her large breasts. But apart from Caecilia who is always willing even if it's just with Iselin, which is 'very nice', she has discretely checked if there are other interested women. Jane might be interested, but Iselin doesn't want to pressure her because they are good friends and she is worried about the friendship. Iselin didn't know that Caecilia had 'dragged' Jane into a threesome before Jane let her know. Apparently a secret Caecilia didn't tell her, and Iselin is a bit annoyed with Caecilia, and also happy that Caecilia keeps secrets and respects other people's sex lives. Alith also let her know that Jane knows and how Jane found out, which entertained Iselin. Of course Iselin sees Ryla as potential for a threesome, but Iselin is also clear and firm that it has to feel right for all of us, so sex or a threesome won't happen for a long time until it feels right. If it ever do.
If we interpret Alith correctly, we believe she's only interested in men. Alith really enjoyed the time with us, so maybe there will be another time in the future, but we believe the 'sinfulness' and the unusualness of having sex in front of and together with my wife Iselin attracted Alith to do it. She and I have always had sex in secret before, so quite a big chance there will be no repeat.
----------------------------------------
After supper, I continue working beside Iselin as she puts the finishing touches to her own diode radio. She want to do everything by herself, and has already made a suitable rotary variable capacitor beforehand to use in other projects, as well as other primitive capacitors, and she has calculated and made the coil as well, because everything is used in other radio projects, on the same frequency. Just to be on the safe side, I've discretely tried a real Midgård diode in her radio receiver, so the radio is on reasonably the right frequency and works, but Iselin doesn't know about that. The receiver has a tested copper oxide diode, but she is making her own diode via heating, because the heating method is simply less magical, and although it gives an inferior diode, it is good enough for the purpose. She really wants to build everything in that receiver by herself. While the small copper plate heats up and cools down, she finishes the holder for the needle and copper plate, and attaches it to the wooden plate with every other component on it.
I have started work on modifying three radios to triple frequency bands. The 3.6 MHz range will continue to be our standard, but we have only tried these radios for relatively short distances in the winter, and summer this far north might be very different. Having a couple of options prepared is both practical and important for collecting Alfheimr radio signal propagation data. Due to overtones, the obvious options are 14.4 MHz, or 7.2 MHz or 1.8 MHz which is doubling or halving. 14.4 MHz feels too high. 7.2 MHz is the most appealing, partly because it's just double the frequency, which means half the length of antennas which makes those antennas take half the space and be easier to mount, and I'm curious how much difference it is in use. I'm keen to try 5.4 MHz which is a half tone up, to have a middle option depending on atmospheric conditions. However, half multiplier up will complicate antennas and tuning, although some antennas can be made with traps and several radiating elements.
Choice is mostly about the antennas, since the radios have a modular design and it's quite easy to change the oscillator for two or three frequencies, and changing the input/output filters to different frequency bands and tuning is manageable. Especially for a regen radio since the transmitter and receiver are separate modules. A modular design is also good for spare parts, and there is room in the radio case to store a couple of ready-made spare parts that are set up and ready to be changed in case 'shit happens'.
Iselin's receiver is almost finished and she is way too excited to wait until tomorrow to test, so we decide to test this evening. She don't care about the winter darkness or cold, but then again, she do love watching the stars on a clear night and want a bigger telescope. While Iselin disappears to put on clothes and prepare, I quickly check with the multimeter that there is a diode function by moving the needle on the copper plate. I really don't want her to be disappointed or for it to not work because I gave her faulty information.
There is marshy ground on the other side of the small cove south of Thrymheim and completely open between there and Thrymheim. Caecilia will sing and talk in Thrymheim's radio as this is a pure AM receiver, but Jane will also try to transmit some Norse, because she wants to be involved. They will start half an hour after we leave as I reckon it will take fifteen minutes to get where we're going, and probably an extra fifteen minutes to hang the aerial etc. Pendulum clocks and watches make it so much easier to synchronise events. So we take her receiver, copper wire for a long antenna, earthing rod, hammer, a pair of headphones, the mobile radio and the guards flashlights and lanterns etc, and head out into the darkness and head down south.
----------------------------------------
Iselin is so very energetic when she throws the weight over a high branch and pulls up the copper wire antenna in its insulators, and doesn't even let the guards help hammer the ground rod into the frozen earth, before she sits down on a rock and prepare to starts listening, having selected the ready-made diode and ready to try dial in. Looking at my watch I give her a new time update. 1 minute left. For once, she ignores the starry sky. I wonder if I can ever make her a good enough telescope, because she already know that the better the telescope, the more you see. She loves the pictures we have taken of the starry sky with the best digital camera and its zoom lens at a relatively slow shutter speed as the movement of the sky quickly becomes a problem, and we have also taken pictures through her telescope. There are so many more stars! She has already started building an equatorial mount, and ordered large brass plates that she will try to make into large light collecting nice mirrors.
It's clear when she makes contact and hear Thrymheim. Iselin's eyes fly open as she jerks her head, and the smile she gets is adorable. She lets me listen and it's really low, but I can hear Caecilia singing the Norse version of 'Let it go' on the radio. Well, we're getting kind of Frozen. We have a wonderful kiss and hug. Iselin is so happy, and I'm happy that Iselin is happy, and for her huge accomplishment. She lets Alith and Bodil hear and they too smile and congratulate Iselin, before Iselin takes back the headphones and just listens and enjoys the music, ignoring the icy cold chill, and the starry sky above and the moon standing low.
The creation on the stone in front of Iselin is one she built herself, using things from here in Alfheimr. Like blackpowder, it's now something Iselin knows she can make, and it's both primitive and incredibly advanced at the same time. Both Bodil and Alith are interested in the radio and would probably like to make their own, and Iselin describes what she is doing as she tries to bypass the diode with a small pre-wired copper wire and it goes silent, and she tries to plug in the newly made copper oxide plate and change the place the contact needle is and the pressure on the copper oxide layer. I take a couple of photos of Iselin sitting with the headphones and her faint moonlit face, with the mansion's illuminated windows in the background and the mansion's roof giving some light reflections. Iselin makes contact, but loses it, and starts to search with the needle and make a nice contact, and Iselin has a big smile, and we get to try listening again before Iselin impatiently take back the headphones. We sit there as she listen and enjoy her accomplishment, until Iselin gets a funny look on her face.
"This is weird. Caecilia has returned after some silence, and asks Sir to repeat, because she didn't think to listen?"
"What?"
Ah! It's Asta or Kari on the ship, but of course Iselin's unamplified diode receiver hasn't heard the ship, which is giving a much weaker signal, much further away. However, the grin Iselin has is absolutely marvellous, and yes; this is a better test than expected. I take up the mobile radio and unfold the antenna and start the mobile radio. Soon we hear that it is indeed Asta who is transmitting after she heard Caecilia singing, and that they will return tomorrow. Everything is fine with them and Kari has already gone to sleep, and she was just going to give an update as usual when she heard Caecilia sing. Iselin has already started to take down her radio antenna, and gives me a kiss, saying it's cold and she wants to be 'warmed up' when we come home. So I send a reply to both Asta and Caecilia:
"Robert here. Asta and Caecilia; our radio test is over. Let Kari sleep. See you tomorrow. I'll switch off the radio and we will return to Thrymheim in 20 minutes. Over and out."
----------------------------------------
Iselin and I celebrate a really good day with music, including Iron Maiden, AC/DC, Rammstein, Epica. Guitar solos and headbanging. I really should look into making an electric bass or electric guitar for Iselin, because she could use my amplified speaker. It will probably be a ridiculous amount of silver, time and energy to even have a chance of getting something good enough sound-wise, and the question is even if she wants to learn to play a guitar, because it will be a lot of work and improvements. But I will always wonder if I don't try.
Iselin surprises me when she also starts playing Kate Perry's 'E.T.', but she likes the sound, beat and feel, and loves the lyrics. She explains that Jane heard the song, thought the lyrics suited her and translated and explained the lyrics to her. Jane was absolutely right, and Iselin loves the song and lyrics enough to have written them down, not least because of all the technical words that are descriptive and that she understands better and better. She in turn, has explained the lyrics to Kari and Ciara, who also like it. So it's now one of Iselin and Ciara's favourite songs, and they are practising playing it.
Actually, it is true that I was mesmerising at first, and she was unsure what a Sejdmann was. I am a Sejdmann from a completely different world, a different dimension, and I opened her eyes and she is happy that I brought her into the light. The fact that she now knows what magnetic, supersonic and lasers are, makes the lyrics more magical as time goes by, and she would absolutely want to be abducted and taken to Midgård. My marvellous wife is very suggestive when she wants me to kiss her and fill her with my poison.
