(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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡODHwflVlYF
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrOhewCsX3r
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!10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Af7GKCesn
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJKcDgKvSgQ
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJnDRPJScJA
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Gj12Jw6tB
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjVtAibsJ4R
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqr59BaCJbb
But I found out my sister had already been sold.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4uhXX44vO3
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82zqUjuUdv
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb7zyXHdJD8
They’d used her.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEjwsDZv61g
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuAUjQxXb9Y
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnKY11AFQBM
I chose to die.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz60IfZzTbc
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQVMddx2pI
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyeHryb8oYh
And what did I get?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4JETq35eb
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNu7CjNYTWw
It never ends.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4M5rOQOe8
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXZLWD2i747
Glacia, I understand you better now.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDAY3MoTheg
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVaMXkCUBZg
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrSJHZls3Lm
We are bound by soul.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCmj3WhbJxx
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRn6q4XgAx
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuTkdcMGhw
But there’s still a chance. If we get out of here—if we defeat the enemy—we can force Temphael to undo it.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8RkRL4fhZ
Then you’ll be free.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy2soigcxiQ
Of me.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS97du7WCNf
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.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX5xG7THk9p
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0dFUeyEqwN
