(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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaKI8XDA5it
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6g7TcbVWE
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!16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDLjrCqt1V2
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusX51ICr24
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlFPBw0mmuh
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsajo5i7oo6
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvyrxJAXb2
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd3O25aOfEq
But I found out my sister had already been sold.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeSUvhfaA5
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhnLPPhG0Se
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSRRJmQjJlW
They’d used her.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHmYbPsn8IB
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJxnPFxDF8D
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRUHWgyoyo
I chose to die.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSg4C92PSUk
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26FJ0Hv1h0
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq77LiwWPLM
And what did I get?16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52l0DVap2u
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡewBPJX4sk8
It never ends.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmiEU0kRfz1
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu583QvzAHc
Glacia, I understand you better now.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnOP67Xu417
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxVkL9KVYG
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1u3G7Q12ZM
We are bound by soul.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ut8bEnkRh
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4hSIYoCqcP
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFEhbUCdWz
But there’s still a chance. If we get out of here—if we defeat the enemy—we can force Temphael to undo it.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxTU36OoB66
Then you’ll be free.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZPXidVXhxy
Of me.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmHo8lUpKeP
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.16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxyUNcWjBX
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1wsLueu4XS
