Deep within The Great Wildlands Forest, tens of thousands of miles away from the Goblin Kingdom.

Underneath a mystical waterfall thousands of meters in height, A man who looks like a fallen immortal and a beautiful jade beauty are seen talking to each other with small smiles on their usually stoic faces.

"...You are so irritating..."

Crystalline commented with a small pout when she saw the playful grin never leave Azmond's face.

"I just can't help myself~"Azmond's sly grin grew even wider.

"You know what?"

"...What?" Crystalline responded with a bit of reluctance.

She knew anything that came out of this man's mouth was bound to be something shameless.

Azmond's smirk was at an all-time high when he saw the unwilling face of the Ice Beauty.

"Your cold emotionless side has its perks~," Azmond started to speak, "but I personally think you look far cuter when you are showing so many different emotions as you are now."

A solemn countenance formed on Azmond as he finished what he was saying while staring directly into Crystalline's emerald-like eyes.

"...."

A face that made Crystalline flinch a little.

'Why did he say it so seriously...?’

‘This man is seriously...'

A small lovely smile started to form on Crystalline's face as she gazed right back into Azmond's deep blue eyes with adoration.

'...So annoying'

"So... Anyways Crystalline~ What brings you to this waterfall? You already know why I'm here, but you never told me your reason for being here." Azmond asked Crystalline a question with a small gentle smile on his face.

An action that made Crystalline quiver a little when she heard Azmond call out her name in such a sweet way... with that same... annoying smile.

A smile that Crystalline was starting to get addicted to as a barely noticeable giddy smile emerged on her jade-like face.

"...I came because of..." Crystalline turned her head away as she thought carefully about her next words.

Crystalline was gonna lie to Azmond without a second thought... at least she should've... until... she once again saw that beautiful smile on Azmond's face when she turned her head toward him.

"...You don't have to tell me if you don't want to..."

A dejected look appeared on Azmond's countenance for but a second before it returned to a kind smile once again.

But Crystalline saw the look he made and for some reason... it broke her heart a little when she saw it.

So without thinking, Crystalline spoke the truth of her situation without a second thought.

"I... I am out training for my sect..." Crystalline started to speak, "The competition to see who will be the next heiress of my sect is about to occur... so I came outside of my sect to get real-life experience training."

Crystalline spoke with a rushed tone as she blurted out the entire truth without thinking. She quickly realized what she had done and put on a face of regret, but... when she saw the beaming smile on Azmond's face once again reappear...

That regret disappeared as quickly as it came...

"I didn't realize I was in the presence of an heiress~ Apologies for my uncouth behavior, Your lady'ness~"

A fox-like grin appeared on Azmond's face as he went right up to the naked figure of Crystalline and bowed slightly while spouting a bunch of nonsense.

"....."

Crystalline instantly regretted ever telling this man anything.

"Humph*... Annoying." She responded with a slight snort as she turned her head away in embarrassment. Her two twin peaks and their pink tips followed along with her as they ricocheted a bit

An action that Azmond watched with attentive eyes and a seductive smirk.

"...Oh No! My lady is disappointed in me! Whatever shall I do about this?!? Oh~ I know something that might work~"

Crystalline suddenly got a bad feeling when she heard Azmond’s words but she realized it just a tad bit too late.

Azmond then flashed right over to Crystalline and put his index finger right on her abdomen.

"!!!"

An action that Crystalline noticed immediately as she tried to jump back from freight, but... she was too late.

The Big Bad Wolf already had his claws out ready to devour the little lamb set out before him.

Azmond slid his index finger up her abdomen in a sensual way as he picked up a drop of sweat that was sliding down the cavern between her breasts.

"Mhmmff!!..."

A voice sweet like honey came out in a soft moan as this action of Azmond's caused the still sensitive Crystalline to have an electric current go throughout her entire sexy body.

He proceeded to put the drop of sweat in his mouth as he sucked the droplet off his finger seductively.

"...Salty... And sweet?" Azmond spoke with a small grin as he continued to lick his finger off till there was nothing left of the sweat droplet while staring seductively into Crystalline's big green eyes.

Such an act made Crystalline shiver a little in fear... excitement... and a little lust?

Her two perk bunnies and their... hard tips bounced away along with the rest of her voluptuous body as she covered up her private parts with her arms for the first time since this entire interaction started.

An emotion that you would never think to be possible for the Ice Princess to be capable of producing before today.

"...Why?... Why did you do that... y-you meanie..."

A face that Crystalline hadn't shown to a single soul in her entire life emerged on her doll-like face as small tears started to form in her big green eyes.

When Azmond saw this scene... he felt like a part of his heart was being torn apart as he felt... regret.

An emotion that Azmond has also never felt or shown to another soul in both of his lifetimes. Azmond never regretted his actions, not in this lifetime and not in his past lifetime, but... this now timid-looking Ice beauty whose name is Crystalline made Azmond feel regret when he saw those big beautiful eyes of hers start to tear up... and for the first time in Azmond's entire existence, he sincerely apologized.

"...I'm sorry Crystalline." Azmond spoke with a downcast face as he walked slowly over to Crystalline with a downtrodden countenance.

This action made Crystalline flinch back a little, but she ended up staying frozen in place as she waited to see what Azmond was trying to do.

When Azmond reached Crystalline, he stretched out his right hand with gentle movements as he set that hand on top of Crystalline's long black bed of hair and started to rub her head tenderly.

Crystalline turned her still teary face up to Azmond's with a dazed look on her perfect features as she turned her head slightly sideways in bewilderment.

An action that made Azmond think she looked like a cute confused black kitty who suddenly started to get petted by her human.

He continued to rub her head like she was the most precious thing in the world with a kind smile on his face.

The two of them just stood there staring into each other's eyes as if trying to understand the other completely for 10 whole minutes.

"Do you forgive me, Crystalline?"

Azmond asked with a genuinely apologetic look as he moved his other hand toward Crystalline's cheek and started to caress her face.

When Crystalline saw the way Azmond was looking at her with those kind eyes, she practically folded underneath the pressure and replied with a soft...

"...Mhm..." She turned her head away from Azmond and stared at the ground like something interesting was there.

"I'm Glad."

Azmond responded with the brightest smile Crystalline had ever seen as her face turned a brighter shade of red.

She once again stared intently at the ground while avoiding eye contact with the absurdly handsome man before her.

'...This man... is annoying...' Crystalline thought to herself as a small imperceptible look of obsession started to appear on her divinely beautiful face.

......

As the two lovebirds were having their moment... they suddenly heard a loud booming voice come from beyond the Giant waterfall.

"FOUND YOU!!!!"

A large green figure with a golden crown on his head and a big gaudy cape appeared out of thin air and shouted at the top of his lungs with a sinister look on his hideous face.

The Goblin King suddenly produced a massive pressure that almost forced Crystalline onto her knees.

Azmond quickly negated the pressure with his own before it could do anything serious to Crystalline.

He then took a spare robe out of his storage ring and put it around her, but... Azmond was practically fuming in anger as he looked at the still-wobbling Crystalline who was trying to stand up properly after experiencing such an intense aura from the Goblin King.

He gazed at her with a distressed look as he scanned her entire body with his divine sense to make sure the harmful aura caused no internal damage.

Luckily, there were no substantial injuries on Crystalline's body which made Azmond sigh a little in relief as he then turned his gaze toward the Goblin King still floating up in the air with a glare of absolute hatred.

"You really couldn't just stay in your little castle in your tiny kingdom and wait for me to come take your head myself?!?!? You just HAD to come find me yourself!!?" A voice that sounded like it came from the very depths of hell was heard from Azmond's mouth as a chilly aura started to come out in large amounts from Azmond.

"-....And Exude That Nasty Aura Of Yours Over A Friend Of Mine?!??"

A tundra was virtually on the verge of being unleashed as Azmond's rage reached an all-time high.

When Crystalline heard what Azmond categorized their relationship as, a small displeased smile formed on her tired face as she turned her head up to look at Azmond's wide back as he confronted the Goblin King.

'A friend huh...'

For some reason unbeknownst to Crystalline, a small tinge of disappointment was quickly growing inside of her when she heard that her relationship with Azmond was just that of friends.

'I should be happy that he said we were friends... something I have never had with anyone before...'

'So Why?... Why do I feel so irritated that we are just friends...'

'What is this feeling?... This tightening in my chest when I think of Azmond...'

'Is it hate?... No! I don't hate him... He may be annoying but..'

An obsessive look appeared on Crystalline's face as she looked at Azmond who was still shielding her with his aura.

She gripped the robe Azmond gave her tightly with a loving look

'He is kind as well...' A small blush appeared on Crystalline's face as she turned her head away from Azmond with a cute pouty look.

'So... What is this Feeling growing inside of my heart??' A puzzled look emerged on Crystalline's face as she clenched the left side of her chest with her hands.

As Crystalline's thoughts were swirling down a rabbit hole of no return.

Azmond was currently standing off with the Goblin King.

"Goblin King!!! You Are Really Courting Death!!!" A demonic smile formed on Azmond's handsome face as he suddenly disappeared and reappeared in front of the Goblin King in a flash.

"Just DIE." A voice as cold as the vacuum in Outer Space was heard from Azmond as he threw a simple punch in the direction of the Goblin King.
