Tyranny Of Steel

Chapter 290: Preparing to Visit the Kalmar Union

As the war for Iberia began to erupt between Granada and the newly established Iberian Union, Berengar sat back and expanded his naval forces. At the moment, the most critical area he was lacking in was Naval Power, and as such, he had further focused his efforts in that regard.

With the expansion of his naval might, the increase in demand for Oak became a reality as such, Berengar had begun to rely on imports from the Kalmar Union to sustain his growth. With the rise in trade between the Duchy of Austria and the Kalmar Union, the beliefs of the German Reformation began to spread to Scandinavia, in particular Sweden.

In its own form, a new Reformist movement had begun to appear in the region. With it, calls for aid to Austria were made by many Reformist noblemen within the Kingdom. As such, Berengar, who was sitting on his Ducal throne, began to read a letter with the seal of the Scandinavian Monarch embossed upon it.

The letter expressed interest in Reformist views and a willingness to discuss matters of importance between the two leaders. Berengar read the letter with a complicated expression on his face. Though Sweden was a major component of the Protestant revolution in his previous life, it was still a century too early for them to accept such beliefs.

Yet, due to his intervention, not only Sweden but all of Scandinavia had begun to be affected by Reformist thought. Unlike in Germany or Bohemia, the Reformist movement appeared to be peaceful in the North. Truthfully Berengar was in awe over such results, and as such, he was pretty cautious in the way he decided to handle this information.

After all, unlike the Byzantine Empire and the Emirate of Granada, one day, if all went as planned, then Berengar would share a border with the Scandinavians, and the idea of the conflicts resulting because of this was not a slim possibility.

As such, Berengar began to tap his armrest repeatedly as he thought about how to proceed with this invitation. While doing so, Honoria came into the room and spotted Berengar deep in thought. On her shoulder was her trusty eagle Heraclius who, as usual, gazed at Berengar with a watchful eye.

Heraclius was no fool, he knew that Berengar and Honoria were now in a relationship, and because of that, he was exceptionally cautious around the man; the eagle's job was to protect his master, and as such, he refused to allow a playboy like Berengar to break Honoria's heart.

Thus when Honoria approached Bernegar with a happy face, the eagle screeched at Berengar with hostility. Upon doing so, Berengar simply stared down the bird with a smile on his face. Ever since he had first bedded the princess, the eagle had become quite aggressive with him.

Nevertheless, Berengar did not think much of it and smiled amicably at the girl and her companion as she leaped into his arms and greeted him.

"Berengar! What are you doing here sitting on your throne by your lonesome?"

Upon hearing this, Bernegar sighed and handed the letter over to Honoria, allowing her to see the invitation in his hands after she read through the contents of the letter, a shocked expression formed on her lips.

The fact that a monarch of a powerful region like the Kalmar Union had invited him to stay in its capital and discuss matters of religion and trade was a big step forward; as such, she was delighted to see that Berengar was finally making friends.

"I'm impressed! First the Granadans, now the Scandinavians! You are beginning to make some allies!"

Upon hearing this, Berengar nodded his head and sighed before expressing the thoughts on his mind.

"So, do you want to sail with me up to Copenhagen?"

Upon hearing this, a broad smile formed across Honoria's lips as she grabbed ahold of Berengar and hugged him once more.

"Of course!"

After Berengar had missed their trip last year, Honoria fell into a deep depression; even though they finally became a couple, Berengar had taken Adela with him to his diplomatic visit to Granada shortly after, which had considerably gotten on her nerves.

Now that she could finally have some alone time with Berengar, she would not miss the opportunity; as such, she immediately released her hold over Berengar and scurried off while informing him of her intentions.

"I'll go pack right away!"

With that said, the young princess ran off to her room where she would begin to pack for her journey; as she did so, Heraclius' gaze never left Berengar's sight until he exited the room while perched upon Honoria's shoulder.

After the two of them disappeared, Berengar chuckled to himself as he began to drink from his skull chalice. While doing so, Linde appeared before him with a scowl on her face.

"You're leaving so soon? Didn't you visit Granada a few months ago?"

In response, Berengar raised from his seat and grabbed ahold of his woman before dragging her into his embrace. As he did so, he fondled large breasts and well her plump bottom while kissing her passionately in the process.

Linde was incredibly excited by these actions and began to flush with embarrassment. Seeing this, Berengar grabbed ahold of her hand and led her over to his throne, where he sat down and positioned his lover on top of him.

Linde looked around the room nervously, fearing being caught in the act, but as she did so, Berengar grabbed ahold of her chin and redirected her gaze into his deep sapphire eyes before speaking his mind.

"I will only be gone for a few weeks, and I need you to look after the kids. When I get back, I promise I won't leave your side for at least a week; you can have me all to yourself!"

Upon Hearing this, Linde began to lick her lover's fingers as she moved the flaps of her dress aside and positioned herself above Berengar's crotch. She was so excited that she no longer cared if she was seen, and as such, she allowed Berengar to enter inside of her.

As Linde began to make love to her man upon his throne, she moaned in pleasure while grasping ahold of Berengar's large hand. After a few moments, she expressed her thoughts to the young Duke of Austria. However, all she could get out between her moans were two words.

"Swear it!"

Berengar began to chuckle as he reversed their positions before answering the young woman's request while staring into her beautiful sky blue eyes.

"I swear to God that what I say is true when I return from Scandinavia; you can have me all to yourself for as much as you can handle!"

After saying this, the couple enjoyed themselves for some time; luckily for Linde, nobody had decided to intrude upon their shameless actions, and before long, Berengar was ready to depart with Honoria by his side.

After saying goodbye to his lover, and his children Berengar, Honoria, and Heraclius departed for Denmark to meet with the King of the Kalmar Union. Throughout the entire journey, Berengar would similarly treat Honoria to how he had just treated Linde in his throne room.

After all, what was the point of having two women if you could not enjoy them both?
