(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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn46EckIReF
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOvk28yar5X
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!11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwHXaqITPqj
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wurDNNrHW
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH5OghyZlXY
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZiUqYSstt
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCINCCKynwq
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0ckhUT25a
But I found out my sister had already been sold.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY644WTXVm8
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCvs9MJgUk
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsuadWq8x3j
They’d used her.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLqk6B5Uq4
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2qalfoQFVg
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKUmcUcP7eE
I chose to die.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGhbrtaLJIs
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT2a6fjAHoc
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRg108mxAro
And what did I get?11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLjjFaegJ89
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ78ZDK4PNK8
It never ends.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39xvXpKsj1
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJTZHTyXvBM
Glacia, I understand you better now.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8sDNPyEt8V
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3soU0dz5Ub
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡltUOt5uAsA
We are bound by soul.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ77BjuPxq7w
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIqYxbAfnDX
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52g7LLLgZC
But there’s still a chance. If we get out of here—if we defeat the enemy—we can force Temphael to undo it.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG5PfBP8efJ
Then you’ll be free.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqn81smdDwh
Of me.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWAHhsplLR
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.11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡt9PRbe7Q6c
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"11Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMk2nnQizrN
