Siegfried smiled softly as he kneeled and gently pulled Ymir's small frame into a hug as he pressed his forehead against her's.
Words would have no use on Ymir who had considered herself a slave all her life , a being with no will of her own.
That was why he wished to show her ... That she wasn't alone , and he had gone through worse and was in a similar position.
If he could free himself from this curse then she could too.....
....
"H-How.." Ymir's trembling voice broke the silence as she gazed at Siegfried with a complicated and confused expression on her face.
She couldn't understand how this man was continuing to be able to smile and laugh while carrying such a huge burden on his back.
Why hadn't he just broken down from all the trauma he had experienced?
She had lost track of the amount of betrayals she had seen while going through his memories.
Even as a bystander she couldn't help but feel horrified and depressed about his situation.
Despite experiencing all of this , he could still smile , then what was she even being sad about?
Her slave owner who used her powers to a build a Dynasty on oppression and tyranny?
Did she truly love King Fritz ?
No.... She did not ... She just deluded herself to believe that because from Siegfried's memories Ymir could see what true selfless love was , and this made the invisible shackles around her be destroyed as the space itself started to tremble before the land that looked like a desert began to change.
Ymir couldn't stop it , nor did she want to. She felt as if she was being part of something bigger.
The moment she felt a slight pull on her existence ... She let it happen without putting up a struggle....
....
[ Are you sure Lord Siegfried? ]
'I am' Siegfried said firmly to Eve who despite having no emotion was always working for his welfare which was in a way a good thing and a bad thing.
Because Eve as an AI would do anything to guarantee his safety but luckily it doesn't do much other than making his life easier.
And he had given express orders to not act on its own and always get his permission without doing anything.
Luckily Eve had no ego.
[ Might I add that you would only be able to have one Soul bound familiar throughout your existence and I find this existence known as Ymir quite weak. It would be more cost effective to have a stronger entity as your soul bound familiar]
Eve's mechanical voice resounded in his head as it gave its own advice which he was free to follow or reject.
'But would Ymir or what's left of her survive if I take over this place ?'
[ Negative... She would cease to exist ]
'Then do it'
Siegfried didn't ask for Ymir's permission... Because he decided to be a selfish asshole for once. ( Sure...)
He wanted her to live and this was the only way in which he could see it happening.
He didn't care about wasting a Soul bound familiar position because in the end he wasn't trying to get stronger.
He was just trying to live life, doing whatever he wanted.....
.....
Ymir found herself in a new place as a giagntic tree made out of multiple colours extended into the sky and she could feel a connection to the tree as if she was bound it.
Ymir was no longer in her depressed small form as she was now a voluptuous and beautiful young woman who was just wearing a Toga that struggled to contain her feminine curves.
Tears flowed down from her eyes as Ymir for the first time in her life smiled as she gazed at the man who had given her the feeling she was searching for her all her life.
A feeling she didn't even know she needed....

Warmth
"Thank you~ "
.....
Siegfried gazed at Ymir in a daze as her pure smile of gratitude was dazzling.
Now that she didn't have that dead look on her face she looked very gorgeous in his eyes.
His eyes couldn't help but be drawn to her thick and ripe body that was just hidden by a flimsy cloth.
Ymir who felt Siegfried's gaze felt like her heart was beating a bit faster as she felt her body was getting a bit warmer.
She blushed as she shyly held the side of her arm while fidgeting nervously making Siegfried snap out his daze as he was embarrassed by his actions.
" *Cough* You look prettier when you smile.... You should smile more " Siegfried coughed to ease the embarrassment as he complimented Ymir with a genuine smile.
"T-Thanks" Ymir said softly as she had a shy smile on her face.
Although she felt shy when Siegfried's scorching gaze roamed over her body , she also a felt a sense of anticipation and happiness making her heart beat faster.
Now that he looked away she couldn't help but feel a sense of loss as she wanted to him to gaze at her longer.
Ymir's gaze became firm as she turned towards Siegfried with a furious blush on her face making the latter confused.
" Sieg .. I need your help " Ymir called Siegfried in a familiar way as she had spent a long time with him in his memories.
"What is it ?" Siegfried asked in a concerned tone as he was willing to help her with anything she might need as basically she was his responsibility.
*Thud*
"I want you to make me forget everything..." Ymir said seriously as she slipped the straps of her Toga off her shoulders letting her clothes hit the ground, exposing her ripe and fertile body to Siegfried's bewildered gaze...
