Ignis was tying my hair in front of the mirror when someone knocked and opened the door.A royal muranda came inside followed by Queen Feu herself.I stood up and performed a slight bow in front of her, immediately getting into the character of the elegant princess she wanted me to be."Your Majesty." Ignis and I greeted in unison."Take a seat, hija. Your health isn't too good yet." She told me warmly before she gave Ignis and her muranda a dismissive look.The two murandas curtly bowed before they finally went out of my room.Queen Feu remained silent as we were watching the murandas leave the room."How do you feel hija?" She asked and took the seat in front of me."I feel good, Your Highness." I answered politely with my eyes down."It's only the two of us here. You can call me Grandma." she said sweetly.Too bad. She already build up the image of a wicked grandmother on my mind."Tonight would be your official crowning as the sole Princess of Flamis. Don't you feel excited?" she a
The cheers of the crowd drowned out my voice when I asked her what she meant with that.Everyone was cheering and excited about the upcoming 'royal' wedding.But contradicting the smiles that everyone shows, my jaw started to tighten. I can feel my blood boiling and my anger rising.Almost everyone shriek when the lights inside the large hall exploded.'Fhyra!' I heard Cool's warning voice on my head but my anger was too intense for me to fully understand what he was saying.The whole hall became so dark not until almost everyone uses their ability and lit up the place with flames from their hands."What's happening?" someone asked."This had never happened before, right? Are we under attack?" another person asked anxiously.I immediately moved away from Blaze's hold and stared at him with anguish."You knew about this?" I ask him with my teeth gritting.I can't help but to gasp and chuckle without humor when he didn't respond and just remained staring at me.I closed my eyes and tried
"Do you feel much better now?" Hailec asked while holding my wrist.I can feel a small electric-like current flowing from his hand into mine."What was that?" I asked pertaining to that feeling."I was renewing your exhausted energy." He replied."Did I... scare everyone?" I asked hesitation very evident with the last words.Hailec raised his eyes to meet mine."What do you want to hear? A comforting answer or a purely honest viewpoint from the Punong Baylan?" He asked with a serious voice and expression."Probably the one with honesty?" I answered.I know that if I'll ask Sassy and Cool or even Ignis about this they would have bias opinions since they would be too worried about what I would feel.But Hailec is different. This guy's here is too rational for his own good. Sure, he might care but he won't take his care for you a ticket to let you escape your pains."What you did last night was too much for the people. They think you're a malfunctioning flamia because you can't take over
"What's with that long faces?" I asked as my smile and laughter faded."Hey! Speak up, you're scaring us." Sassy added when the two guys remained quiet as they stood behind the closed door of my room.'What's wrong?' I asked Cool directly.I saw him shook his head as if he had lost hope about something.They exchanged meaningful looks before they nod at each other.They asked for all of us to go to the lanai to talk.When we were all seated, Hailec swiped his hand above the table and the hologram-like thing did it's work once again."The royal wedding shall proceed as planned Your Majesty!""That's the only way to appease the Fantasians. They trust Count Blaze, so if the Princess marry him there would be no more questioning.""There would be no marriage happening as of the moment."To say that I was shocked to hear this from the Queen herself was an understatement.I saw how the others gave me quick glances before we resume watching what I assumed was happening inside the Queen's quart
"Wow!" Ignis and Sassy exclaimed in unison as we all stared at the main gate of the Glaciers Palace.The crystal blue gate was carved with intricate flowing water all over it making it looked like a live waterfall."I thought the Flamis Palace is already the finest place here but this place took my expectations to another level!" Sassy remarked while we were walking towards the closed gate."Wait here." Cool said and went ahead towards the guardia of the gate and talk to him.I saw the guardia's eyes went wide when his gaze fell on our direction, to be precise, in my direction.He immediately ran to open the gate for us.Cool went back to us and told us that we can go in now.When we finally step on the Glaciers Palace, the guards immediately kneeled on the floor and in unison greeted me."Welcome Home, Princess Fhyra!" My eyes almost popped out of its socket when the other passersby saw and heard what the guardias did and also kneeled on the floor and greeted me as well."It's okay. I
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
