XERCEL'S POV:
When the bell rang, we were quite surprised when our professor suddenly left without even saying goodbye to his students. He was running like his life depended on it.
I chuckled, maybe we really scared the shit out of him. I looked around and saw that our classmates were already going out while the four of us were still there. I looked at them and saw that they were still silent. I looked in front of me, only to see that our Empress was still sleeping and it was quite obvious that she didn't have any plan to wake up.
I shook my head helplessly. This is the biggest taboo in the Empire, no one likes to wake her up because no one can guarantee their lives if that happens. Suddenly the man sitting on her side stood up and we all turned our attention to him as he walked and stopped in front of the door.
ICE'S POV: "Empress, wake up! Damn, we might be late because of this!" Someone suddenly shouted outside my room which made me wake up in a daze and groan irritably. Based on the voice, it was that annoying Xercel. When I heard her shout again, I immediately took my gun under my bed. "Empress! What's your plan?" She complains outside again. I stood up expressionlessly. I looked at the K13 Pistol in my hand that I invented myself and walked near the door. I immediately opened the itthen glared at her coldly. What I don't want at all is that someone wants to ruin my sleep! She smiled when she saw my face and was about to sigh a breath of relief when she noticed my gun was already pointing at her head. "Ahhh!" She shouted in horror and moved backward as I cock the hammer back while staring coldly at her. "Shit!" She mumbled and immediately ran down the stairs like her butt was burning. When I can’t see her anymore, I close t
ICIEST’S POV:I just shook my head and managed to enter the canteen without saying anything. As I step inside, everyone’s attention immediately turns to me while their looks are full of admiration and respect.I keep my face still and roam my eyes around the area until it stops to the person who caught my attention. She was just eating motionlessly while bowing her head and looking at her food. Her friends look at me and turn their eyes away as if they were afraid of something.I just glance at her one more time before walking to the counter. The Auntie immediately smiled when she saw me coming and before I knew it, she was already handing me a tray with food with a drink on it.I nodded gently at her, “Thank you, Auntie.” I told her and she just smiled back at me.I turned my body and glanced again at their table and walked there silently until I stopped beside her which made them look at me in astonishment
ICE'S POV:It's already eight o'clock in the evening and I still can't sleep. Even a little drowsiness still doesn’t visit me at all. I closed my eyes for I don’t know how many times anymore but after a few minutes I found myself wide awake again.I just tweaked my hair and stood up irritatingly. I decided to go to the nearest 7/11 to buy a cup of noodles and a soda instead. So, I grabbed my jacket and put it on before opening the door of my room. Looking around the house with only the light of the moon outside was the only thing that made me see everything around me.I observe my surroundings and I realize that this is also one of my training before when I was still a child so even though I can’t see and hear anything, I can still feel my surroundings and walk like I can see everything. When I was already out of our gate, I walked aimlessly in the middle of the road with only me, myself, and I was the person here.The s
ICE'S POV:"This is the plan, we will go in and leave Kiana and Jensen here at home to watch every camera inside those three warehouses. They are going to hack those CCTV cameras and tell us if an enemy is coming or where we can go during the mission." I explained to them while I was sitting on the single couch in front of them.I crossed my legs and rested my hands above the couch’s arms side by side and looked at them seriously. Jensen and Kiana were sitting on one couch in front of Jaycel and Xercel while I was sitting alone.Xercel turned to look at me, "Who will be with me to the first warehouse, Empress?" She asked with a serious expression which made me look at her in return.I sighed, "Only you is enough.” I replied and stood up before stretching my arms above my head and
ICE'S POV:After making sure that everything was according to my plan, I immediately started the car and left that place because I still needed to rest. While I was still on the road, I immediately turned on the device back so that I would know the things that happened to them.I know that I shouldn’t underestimate them since I train them myself but I can’t help it. I may be cold to others but they became my friends for so many years now and I can’t bear to see them in danger."Empress!” I heard Kiana and Jaycel exclaim together when the device was already on.“Are you okay, Empress? What happened to you?" I heard a series of questions from Jensen and Xercel as well."I'm okay," I responded to them calmly. "How was your mission?" I asked back instead."Mission accomplished, Empress." They answered simultaneously and I could even hear the happiness in their voices which made me smirk while feelin
ICE’S POV:"Hon, are you really leaving?" The man asked worriedly to the person he was talking to, who I think is his girlfriend. I can't see the faces of the two of them.The woman turned to him and kissed him on the lips. She put her hands on the man’s neck and hugged the man while smiling happily. The man circled his hands around the woman's waist unconsciously in return.The woman sniffed the man and sighed contentedly, "Hon, don’t be like this. Don't be too overacting there since I'll be right back after this. I just really need to settle this project so I wanted to go out, if this wasn’t important then you know that I'd better be here with you than being with those people." She answered in a gentle voice.The man looked at the woman
ICE’S POV:When they heard my question, they looked at each other for quite a few minutes as if they were talking with their eyes, so I just smiled a little while looking at these little guys with serious expressions on their cute faces.After a while, they both nodded their heads as if they agreed on one another and turned their attention back to me with a smile. At the surface, it looks like a normal smile but their eyes show some emotions that I can’t distinguish but I didn’t mind it anymore since it wasn’t my business.I guess that’s their answer to my question. So I fixed my bag that was still on my back as well as my clothes and stood up before I bent down to kiss their heads.Then, I fish out my wallet from my pocket and take a calling card from it before looking at them gently."Do you two have phones?" I asked them hesitantly since I don’t know if these guys are already allowed to have o
ICE'S POV:The next morning, I still couldn't forget those two children. It's like I just want to always be in that detention room if they're the only ones I can be with. It sounds so absurd but I really want to be with them. I don’t know why since we are complete strangers to each other but it seems that there is an invisible thread that pulls me towards them.I’m also curious about their parents and about their eyes. I don't know why but something really motivates me to see them. I sighed and stood up from my bed. I glanced at the clock in my room and saw that it was already 4 o’clock in the morning.“So, early,” I muttered to myself and opened the door of the bathroom before walking inside it while closing the door behind me.I looked at the big mirror in front of me and gripped the edge of the sink while looking at my eyes. Those eyes, they are like mine when I get angry. But how can it be? I didn't even
