(Glacia: I was born a slave. Had to fight my whole life just to get a piece of bread that would last me for months. Crazy.9Please respect copyright.PENANAU35X6Zve9E
Well, eventually I got my chance. In order to improve my family's life, I started fighting in the arena. Turns out, I was good at killing people. Before I knew it, I had pulled my family out of misery. I thought that would be it. Finally free.9Please respect copyright.PENANAqYM8PJmVWe
But my parents had other plans. They forced me to keep fighting so they could increase their wealth and influence. And I obeyed. I mean—they were my parents! I had no choice!9Please respect copyright.PENANAtCm4kcWQhk
Time passed, and then I’d had enough. I rebelled. Of course, my parents weren’t pleased. They blamed me for everything that had ever gone wrong in their lives. But they knew they couldn’t beat me head-on. So they found another way—they tricked me. And before I knew it, I was behind bars again.9Please respect copyright.PENANANTOQYHaDU0
I don’t have to tell you about illegal prison fights. That’s where I ended up. Once more, I was forced to fight for survival. I came to hate it—but it was the only way. I fought and fought, lost track of time… and eventually, I made it out.9Please respect copyright.PENANA5Rx9zK84e2
When I returned, my family had lost everything. My siblings had died. Only the newborn of my parents had survived. And the fighting resumed. But this time, it was on my terms.9Please respect copyright.PENANAzQ8XoqLIjm
Naturally, my parents didn’t like that. They threatened to sell my little sister if I didn’t earn enough money. Somehow, they discovered my plan to escape with her. They used their remaining wealth to buy a fighter—one they no longer needed.9Please respect copyright.PENANAPG39euVJVJ
Because their hatred for me had grown so deep, they ordered him to kill me. It was a bitter fight. And during it... I killed my parents and destroyed everything.9Please respect copyright.PENANA4kIaXKRjIX
But I found out my sister had already been sold.9Please respect copyright.PENANAyOkRgUbtAH
I set out to find her. Someone told me she’d been sold into slavery. With my power, I could’ve stormed in and taken her by force—but I needed intel. And I got it the only way I knew how: by fighting.9Please respect copyright.PENANAym1fvhjqxn
When I finally tracked down the person who had her, I learned she was already dead. And the wounds on her body told me everything I needed to know.9Please respect copyright.PENANAIIWQ0OLIOX
They’d used her.9Please respect copyright.PENANAQ8WVokt22n
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.9Please respect copyright.PENANAjh3vj7JUEO
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.9Please respect copyright.PENANAL3TFBzoENV
I chose to die.9Please respect copyright.PENANAoLpGM4i2Db
But the king had other plans. He threw me into prison. That’s when I learned humans on this side were helping demons and angels cross over.9Please respect copyright.PENANA8V4TgjAtW3
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.9Please respect copyright.PENANABE36bWmv7M
And what did I get?9Please respect copyright.PENANAHpucUVdZOc
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.9Please respect copyright.PENANAljkpRDv4Eo
It never ends.9Please respect copyright.PENANAzHo6s3d9xZ
Never. Never. Nev)—
"I’ll make it stop then."
Nade stepped forward, voice firm.
"My story isn’t as tragic as yours. But I know what it feels like—to be forced, to have your freedom ripped away, to be reduced to a tool.9Please respect copyright.PENANATldcPUjLmJ
Glacia, I understand you better now.9Please respect copyright.PENANAZ4lB3YtIKo
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.9Please respect copyright.PENANALtxMJabnNL
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?9Please respect copyright.PENANAvDy1VraXtQ
We are bound by soul.9Please respect copyright.PENANAZ5EYrgcq2j
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.9Please respect copyright.PENANArDSmJmZDGZ
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.9Please respect copyright.PENANA3DMB1JO9xY
But there’s still a chance. If we get out of here—if we defeat the enemy—we can force Temphael to undo it.9Please respect copyright.PENANAD0wfDahc6b
Then you’ll be free.9Please respect copyright.PENANA3Pces62cV9
Of me.9Please respect copyright.PENANAaEGmRuqf8m
So I ask again—will you fight with me?"
Nade’s lips curved into a grin. But the voice that came from him had changed—higher, feminine.
"You’re a funny one," Glacia’s voice rang through him.9Please respect copyright.PENANARSBiMrP3v3
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"9Please respect copyright.PENANAw6XtzqAAse
