(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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAFvRNzAhOeI
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAFizqfRYXvW
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!60Please respect copyright.PENANALseq9XnAll
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAYPqnmMEEwY
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANALuxV27kVXB
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAxH110XknZx
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAYf4S8ohsCX
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAM4EewT1xQz
But I found out my sister had already been sold.60Please respect copyright.PENANA5L8LHfYbw3
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAvujE5V1zjm
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANASP6DHiDLeO
They’d used her.60Please respect copyright.PENANAKAmyVwjbii
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.60Please respect copyright.PENANAXWfSuStMWL
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.60Please respect copyright.PENANAWKncudrv8f
I chose to die.60Please respect copyright.PENANARq8tzLzajR
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANAq3cNQiicCG
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.60Please respect copyright.PENANAMWL3rBa3Yk
And what did I get?60Please respect copyright.PENANARP9fpOxRNY
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.60Please respect copyright.PENANA4AdnX2Sb6E
It never ends.60Please respect copyright.PENANA7ieKJYNG9h
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANA5dqHUcm5cx
Glacia, I understand you better now.60Please respect copyright.PENANAKbFouFAtJ9
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.60Please respect copyright.PENANARP6azl7CSx
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?60Please respect copyright.PENANAgGoSWE19qC
We are bound by soul.60Please respect copyright.PENANAFr4aRJNoBx
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.60Please respect copyright.PENANAXxQeCeHQR8
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.60Please respect copyright.PENANAhbKkclEr9H
But there’s still a chance. If we get out of here—if we defeat the enemy—we can force Temphael to undo it.60Please respect copyright.PENANAjKphC9huHe
Then you’ll be free.60Please respect copyright.PENANAY3WNG5rkqY
Of me.60Please respect copyright.PENANABGPOnylqCM
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.60Please respect copyright.PENANANFkv5tnYqZ
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"60Please respect copyright.PENANANNTjcd2tF8
