70. Ivan' s Lost Soul
A few suns and moons have raced against the clock, and Akshara’s life in the ice castle has been scheduled to ‘Rest Less and Works More’. Eating becomes the reward for her tireless work. Akshara would share her reward, i.e., food, with her pet birds, Sun and Shine.
Her roommate, the ferocious animal, doesn’t look ferocious anymore to her. She finds it cute and kind. When her work didn’t meet the reward, the ferocious animal would help her with the fruits from the tree located in the dungeon.
Akshara had rotted in the dungeon with the ferocious animal, which had more mercy on her than the castle's inhabitants. Nora and Indigo did everything they could to bring their evil to torture Akshara solely because of her title as the Hybrid Crown Prince's Bride.
Apart from the tiring day, Akshara found joy in fewer resting hours. Dev’s words lingered in her mind, "Come into my arms wherever you are in trouble.” The ecstasy of runni

In the east wing of Ice Castle,Nora stood before her large mirror, adjusting her garments while her maids stood beside her, heads facing down. Nora’s sharp ears heard some murmuring noise behind her, and she eyed the mirror. Her maids gossiped and chuckled at each other without realising Nora was watching them through the mirror."What’s so amusing?" Nora asked them with an evil smile on her lips, "Am I not qualified to get involved in your amusements?" She asked them without turning back while attaching the embellishment to her garment.All the maids were gulping terror and fear for their lives. Nora is known for her fiery approach to her anger; she would burn anything with her purple heated flames into ashes.One of the maids opened her mouth, "My lady, we are talking about the girl that was brought by our crown prince."Nora gritted her teeth and destroyed the embellishment in her hands, and the maids took a step back, dreading Nora's wrath. Nora turned her look to nothingness and
ICICLES OF GOLDEN BLOOD 72. Troubled mind
After a few minutes of discussion with the dark knight, Dev spoke to his mother, “My queen, I must take our dark knight with me with your consent. His presence is a need in the Forbidden Tower.”“I might want you to be my side, Dev.” The white queen told him. But Dev smiled at her, “Mother, I know you are the strongest woman of all ages. Whatever you decide, you will have a deep consideration of me.”“But you are the topic of today’s gathering, Dev, I...” Before the white queen could complete her words, Dev told her in low voice, “You take care of everything here (gesturing towards the Las Oajar). I will take care of everything there. (Mentioning the Forbidden Tower) Good sound of the deal, isn’t it?”“Dev, Dev,” while the white queen was repeatedly calling her son, Dev smiled at her in reply. Dev and the dark knight were exempted from the court
ICICLES OF GOLDEN BLOOD 73. Orchid of Ashes
The word spread across the corners of the world, but not to the dungeon inside the ice castle. Las Oajar passed its verdict to the queen of Ayruzglow to invite brides from neighbouring kingdoms upon the bride selection of the crown prince of Ayruzglow, who was alleged to be crowned as king of Ayruzglow with his queen.With her ambiguous mind, Nora was filled with a poisonous desire to ruin every ounce of charm Akshara bought. Nora was determined to make Akshara become the rumour that echoed over the icy walls of the Ayruzglow kingdom."I don’t know who else I have to fight with to get Dev. First, it was the witch from Frozen Crescent, and now it's random brides from allied kingdoms. I can’t tolerate Dev being with anyone." Nora decided to update her torment to include Akshara."I intend to destroy the charm that engrossed my D

Dev was standing over the top edge of the tower, watching for assailants with his arms to hold back his broadened chest, just before Akshara entered the burning orchid. His icy blue eyes were alert to any sound coming from any direction, and his ears were alert to any sound coming from any direction. Ivan was singing a hymn."Ivan, stop polluting this atmosphere with your unbearable hymns," Dev said, despite Ivan's hymns being unpleasant and unbearable.Ivan didn’t listen to Dev but continued tying some cloth around his feet. Dev asked about his action, "What are you doing?""When I last turned into a dragon, I burnt my shoes. So I am covering my feet." Ivan replied while tightening the cloth around his feet."Add two more layers; you might melt the castle with your heat flaring feet." Dev mocked him, and before Ivan could reply, Dev added, "with your mouth shut. Don’t invite any intruders with your noise.""Devvvv. I am Ivan, not a siren to sing a mesmerising song to attract any sail
ICICLES OF GOLDEN BLOOD 75. Shades of Indigo
Indigo, the dragon maid of Nora stood awestruck in front of the orchid which turned into ashes. She wasn’t able to move any of her muscles on seeing the happenings in the orchid.“Is she really chosen by our crown prince? The amulet, he gave her, is really protecting her on his behalf. It lit off the fire set by Nora and healed her too. Indeed, she is chosen one.” Indigo talked to herself and rushed toward Akshara after the fire was out completely.Akshara was lingering in her partial conscious talking to Dev. She woke up suddenly when she heard his voice whispering in her ears, “Wake up, Sara. It’s time for you to find yourself.”Akshara opened her eyes and saw Indigo standing in front of her and she asked Akshara, “What were you blabbering?”Akshara tried to stand up and fall immediately to the ground. She tried again with the echo of Dev’s voice which was instantly boosting her. She glanced at Indig

Akshara walked through the corridors of the east wing of the Ice castle. Indigo gazed at Akshara all the way along with much hesitant to ask her. Akshara could hear the giggling sounds of the bride on her approach to Nora’s chamber.Indigo stopped Akshara by pulling her hands before she enters the chamber, “What are you doing?”Akshara was puzzled by her action but maintained her stern look, “I should be asking that.”“Uh, you must have assumed why my lady has summoned you, didn’t you?” Indigo asked her with a tensed built face.“Your lady’s brain acts differently, how can I predict her?”“Neither I... (Indigo voiced in a low tone) huh, how can you do... how can you digest what’s going to happen next?” Indigo asked Akshara repeatedly concerning Akshara, “Those brides are here for bride selection. They are here to marry our crown prince, your crown prince.&rdqu

Dev and Jaravles arrived on time to support the dragon warriors.“How is this even possible?” Jaravles shouted to his full throat.Ivan stood frozen to answer his furious question, Dev quickly explained, “Uncle Arav, the iron door of the dark chamber was just as fine until you leave. We haven’t noticed what disturbed the durability of the iron door of that chamber. So I rushed to bring you back.”Jaravles examined the iron door carefully and noticed the silver thread had been stung to seal the door. He questioned everyone, “What’s this? Whose idea is this?”Ivan replied to him, “Father, we used Dev’s hair to seal the door temporarily...”Before Ivan could complete his words, Ja
