(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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpyCqVrbm1q
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqiII1qjMHT
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5kuV911q46
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM5r6AoVkJp
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ZyU7F0V9h
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz0it08NMYl
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5B3wDEaDJs
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwx7qySfiJ
But I found out my sister had already been sold.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyKzxJA0Qpd
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7VzSJWmze
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ld47b7RIU
They’d used her.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwjJXvyBsC3
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXuZYz9376
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtefzXPvrWs
I chose to die.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡovbe8W9X4J
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZaCtxfViSj
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNnG400AB5M
And what did I get?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrMnoXgljXv
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ40avWg142
It never ends.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡathADnckmC
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKX9uO1tGZD
Glacia, I understand you better now.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNC8FFtIuEZ
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IDP2SSPC2
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNcSwL3M2KM
We are bound by soul.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpjkbpMB6aG
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOzeWAqRsLl
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzGncymTTK
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIiPk7aAoTg
Then you’ll be free.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkp7swYvJt3
Of me.10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc98iMJpwWZ
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.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwZmrT3H3tu
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"10Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ57sOyvPXQo
