(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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAQEeselYH0b
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANATANS2skmBW
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!57Please respect copyright.PENANABndmYX9227
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANActYtmHsInL
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAIoCFspLKxm
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAMS3kmkfY1V
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAMNS1y6zx0R
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAPHwiAseZO7
But I found out my sister had already been sold.57Please respect copyright.PENANAXxXrtGMrGi
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAJ8HyK0soT2
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAKeACEkFufC
They’d used her.57Please respect copyright.PENANA54tYq2M5bf
I lost control and destroyed everything—truly everything. It took the arrival of other Nobles to finally restrain me.57Please respect copyright.PENANAmPPEVGCzVI
When I met the king, I had two choices: fight for him... or die by his hand.57Please respect copyright.PENANAM5IllTaIJn
I chose to die.57Please respect copyright.PENANAVwfLFrPlIu
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAfo03UdRgb1
I escaped—hoping to finally be free. I didn’t intend to come here to kill. No. I just wanted peace.57Please respect copyright.PENANAvQMpxGJmEl
And what did I get?57Please respect copyright.PENANAb2qO3qT0zr
Exactly—trapped again. Forced to fight. Again.57Please respect copyright.PENANAwMkWIfNC8q
It never ends.57Please respect copyright.PENANARzFocTxOHA
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAG9HRGcShDM
Glacia, I understand you better now.57Please respect copyright.PENANAzXEhcKRQWL
We don’t have much time. You said it yourself.57Please respect copyright.PENANAU0VZ4ikztp
So… will you fight one last time? Not for someone. But with someone?57Please respect copyright.PENANAEIlOWiNdfw
We are bound by soul.57Please respect copyright.PENANAFNsX4xNck7
You know the state of my body—I don’t have long. And I can feel our souls slowly merging.57Please respect copyright.PENANAdRTaagsv9i
I think that’s their plan. They need your soul. So they’re fusing ours together so you can’t escape.57Please respect copyright.PENANAXZRM59r8WR
But there’s still a chance. If we get out of here—if we defeat the enemy—we can force Temphael to undo it.57Please respect copyright.PENANAvqUvd3Ukxu
Then you’ll be free.57Please respect copyright.PENANAu15yE82d8t
Of me.57Please respect copyright.PENANAIqwCl9AG72
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.57Please respect copyright.PENANAUu78oCwkkS
"Then let’s do it. I’ll show them why they call me the Ice Queen!"57Please respect copyright.PENANAxW5tWDD7Xs
