All this time I thought I was born in the mundane world. I concluded that since the day I saw my parents' story from one of the floating books in the library back in the Flamis Palace.But after hearing it from Queen Bleak, it turned out that I got it all wrong.So my mom stayed here?"If only Queen Feu hadn't interfered you would have grown up here." She explained softly.I can feel my forehead creasing from all the things she had revealed."Your parents didn't run away directly to the mundane world, hija. They first decided to stay here, that's why you were born here." She added, she probably noticed the lost and puzzled expression on my face."Woah!" Queen Bleak and I immediately turned our heads from where Sassy's shriek came from."What the?!" She exclaimed as she held her ground so that she won't stumble to the ground.I felt the Queen let go of my shoulders which she was holding earlier and face the crowd with a warm smile."Hello! May I know how can I help you?" She asked, taki
"Kick harder!" Cool instructed as I kicked the thick punching bag hanging in front of me."Higher!" He said with a loud voice followed with a few training claps.I kicked the punching bag one last time with the last energy left with me.Cool clapped his hands as it flew meters away from where I stood up."Very good!" He said and lend me a bottle of water.I took the bottle from his hand and drank from it before resigning myself on the ground, panting.'You're a monster!' I yelled on his mind but I just earned a chuckle from that."You're getting better." He complimented as he sat on the ground beside me.I lazily turned my head towards him."I have a Commandant for a teacher. What do you expect?" I said followed with a groan when I felt my legs sore from too much kicking.It's been weeks since we arrived here in Glaciers. And all I can say is I like this place better.The Fantasians here are a lot more warmer and kind than those from the Flamis.The irony of life, those with the warmes
My eyes immediately closed as soon as Cool's lips met mine.It was just a quick kiss. He immediately pulled back, so I opened my eyes only to close it once again when his lips came crushing mine once again.This time his kiss was filled with subtle roughness and longing.I felt his hand behind my neck, pulling my face closer to his as if we're not yet close enough.His other hand was encircled around my waist.My hands automatically wound up to his neck. Trying to support my weakening legs."Shit!" I cussed and immediately push him away when I felt his energy flowing towards me.I'm feeding on his energy again!"What now?! I can't even kiss you?!" I muttered angrily.I was still cussing repeatedly when I heard him chuckled."You find this funny?!" I asked him, sounding very irritated.He cleared his throat and tried so hard to stop from chuckling but a ghost of a smile remains on his face."What's funny?!" My forehead was creasing as I stared at him with a mix of irritation, frustratio
"Commandant! Commandant!" I groaned and repeatedly tap Cool's chest to wake him up as well to open his door.Someone was consistently knocking and calling him outside his door.'Cool,' I called out in his mind in order to wake him up.I heard him groaned too when the knocking intensified.He took his arm away from my body who was half-lying down on his and let me lay down on the bed instead.He frustratingly brushed up his hair using his fingers."Sleep a little more," He said and gave me a chaste kiss on my forehead before proceeding to his bathroom.My eyes remained half-open as the noises outside his door gets more disturbing.It didn't take him long to go out of his bathroom and walked towards the door to open it while I rolled back on his sheets and tried to sleep again.I heard him opened the door and I felt the presence of four other men went inside the room."Commandant! The Princess is missing!" My eyes immediately flew open.Who's missing?"What?" Cool's confused voice was he
"Dodge the attacks at all cost," Hailec said firmly."Don't let any part of the samad touch your skin." Cool added after they explain to us what it is and what it can do."Ready? Let's begin." Cool said and positioned himself in a combat stance. Hailec did the same as he face Sassy.They had already taught us the basics of close combat. We knew how to attack and when to defend.But today, they were asking us to just dodge.Do nothing, but dodge."Aww!" My concentration was lost when I heard Sassy screamed in pain and before I can get to properly look at her a searing pain was also felt on my upper shoulder."Don't lose focus." Cool said in a serious voice as he keeps the samad on his waist holster and tend to the wound on my shoulder.The white satin dress shirt I was wearing was now torn." We're just practicing do you really have to hurt us for real?" I accusingly asked them when I saw Hailec tending to Sassy's wound on her left waist as well."We didn't hurt you on purpose. We told
Screams and shrieks are heard everywhere. Explosions and dark smokes can be seen at every corner of the palace.This is what I welcomed me when I opened the room of my door.Chaos.I suddenly saw Granny running towards my direction. She looks so problematic and worried at the same time."Fhyra! Hija! What are you doing here?! Where's Cool?!" She said while looking around vigilantly."What's happening?" I asked worriedly as I look at the once bright walls of Glaciers but was now filled with dark smoke."The Darkess attacked us. The guardias are delaying them while we evacuate the citizens." She answered and worriedly walked passed me to approach the lady she saw."Bugnaw! Hurry!" She said as she helped the lady.'Fhyra! Where the hell are you?!' I was suddenly alerted when I heard Cool's voice.'I'm outside my room. I'm with Granny. How 'bout you? Are you okay? How about Sassy? Ignis? And Hailec? Are you with them?' I asked him hurriedly while helping Granny guide the other fantasians t
"Princess," Blaze greeted as soon as he saw me approaching them in the large main function hall of the Glaciers, which now serves as the evacuation area of the citizens.I gave him a quick glance and a slight nod before I faced Cool who was with him.I wanted to just ignore him but it would be too rude since he did help us in rescuing the people of Glaciers from the attack of the Darkess."What's the status out there?" I asked Cool.We might have been able to successfully evacuate the citizens inside the palace, but the fantasians living outside was still under attack by the Darkess."I think we would have to go out there to help rescue the others. The guardias wouldn't be able to withstand them for so long." Cool said which I nodded."I'm coming with you." I proclaimed."Princess, it's too dangerous---" I gave Blaze a sharp gaze that caused him to stop talking.I returned my eyes back to Cool who was staring at me intently."The Count is right. It would be too dangerous for you." he a
"Please take care." Granny said for the nth time as she was sending us off."We will, Granny.""Please, return safe and sound." She said worriedly to everyone.Everyone nodded and gave their farewell bows and hugs to Granny and their families.We would be going out of the palace today. We made sure first that the defense of this place was strong enough to keep everyone safe before we decided to go.Granny faced Cool after exchanging goodbyes with the others."I know you would do this even without me asking but please. Please take care of my granddaughter and come back safely." She said as she sweeps off some hair strands away from Cool's face.I smiled with how intimate Granny and Cool is. I heard Granny was the one who raised him, that explains their familiarity and intimacy."Go on. We won't be delaying you anymore. Please keep safe and get back with our people safe and sound." Granny said as she waved her last goodbye.We turned our backs from the people and face the gigantic ice ga
