(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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAF70qdo9rOl
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANA9HmkCbKd8s
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!85Please respect copyright.PENANABxwDyzMBgk
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANA7EpFDDqvCg
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAFpGa9qlsUo
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAEKXZaCBw2J
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANASX6iO9YDgc
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAHSlRxWM97Y
But I found out my sister had already been sold.85Please respect copyright.PENANAxVN7dbXjz9
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAKggEeQaXpy
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAjnccHnRGEO
They’d used her.85Please respect copyright.PENANAdhNJwiZAgF
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.85Please respect copyright.PENANA5ZtFYxsvkT
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.85Please respect copyright.PENANA0t2LXk174K
I chose to die.85Please respect copyright.PENANADlgoBPf4pF
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANA0Enenmvcto
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.85Please respect copyright.PENANAKx19YXTisY
And what did I get?85Please respect copyright.PENANAotg0iyEJpT
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.85Please respect copyright.PENANAxaCwKHKda7
It never ends.85Please respect copyright.PENANA6DKOUT4l91
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAGRqaeuJGgp
Glacia, I understand you better now.85Please respect copyright.PENANAgzXwQSziDW
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.85Please respect copyright.PENANAQc8rU4WVSf
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?85Please respect copyright.PENANAf4EtLhdhl5
We are bound by soul.85Please respect copyright.PENANAa2sda6LvVz
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.85Please respect copyright.PENANAC25JyjKpQf
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.85Please respect copyright.PENANAhaLLrZ1CZ4
But there’s still a chance. If we get out of here—if we defeat the enemy—we can force Temphael to undo it.85Please respect copyright.PENANAseIID8sAp9
Then you’ll be free.85Please respect copyright.PENANALa8dYe3k24
Of me.85Please respect copyright.PENANAd3iImtgubr
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.85Please respect copyright.PENANAC5H1vx1BYe
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"85Please respect copyright.PENANA0Czu2iAYVt
