Semua Bab How to Make the Ice Prince Fall: Bab 131 - Bab 140

Nathaniel's mood turned darker with each minute after his wound was bandaged. There were no news about Katherine or anyone else. Was she dead? Kidnapped? Would Jack reach her in time?Worried, he walked up and down the hall, ignoring the dozens of eyes following him. He knew that he had to make a decision. If they waited for too long, the members of the organization might go back to their headquarter, and an attack would only succeed with high causalities. But he couldn't leave Katherine behind.If there was any possibility that she was still in the city, he would doom her by leaving. Should he search for her then? Where? Each entering and leaving this house could possibly blow their cover.Absentmindedly, his fingers wandered to the ring on his hand, gently rubbing the red gemstones. If only they were a normal pair, they would celebrate their wedding now. He wouldn't let her leave his sight for a second. Maybe he could even snatch a few of her sweet kisses. Act

"How?" Aston looked at Nathaniel like he was delusional. When Nathaniel looked back the same way, Aston hit his forehead with a palm. "Right! Ouch! Damn!"He had hit right on his wound, but he was too excited to care. "The key! The key for the black-market secret passage! Do you have it with you?"Nathaniel raised his brow. "If it was the one you send me with an unreadable card, then no. Why would I bring something I don't know the purpose of?""Damn! It could have brought us at least through the second wall", Aston said, and cursed. "Then why are you looking at me like that?"With a sigh Nathaniel also leaned against the wall and waited for a search troop to pass their hiding place. If it was Sam with him right now, he was sure the old man would have understood without saying. But how could he expect from anyone else to read his mind? Being a brother was troublesome. "The whole purpose of the ceremony today was to lure the enemy out of hiding, you rememb

Sam slowly shook his head. "No, it is worse than this. But you need to know it, or else it can bring you to fall."Nathaniel's breath hissed through his teeth. "What can be worse than being a failed experimental subject?""See for yourself", Sam repeated seriously. Then, his eyes widened, and he added in a hurry: "Careful! Don't destroy it!""Damn!", Nathaniel cursed and concentrated to pull the black magic back in that had begun to leak again. It spoke bounds about his mental state that it managed to escape his control so many times today. Luckily, it had only eaten holes in the cover of the file. "This damn bracelet isn't working.""Of course it isn't. It's cracked.", Sam explained and pointed at the surface. A hair-thin crack was visible in the silver, and, next to it, a little dent. "Looks like it hit something."Nathaniel remembered the 'collision' he'd had with Emilian. He'd used this bracelet to block his sword back then. "Should the chain f

Missed her again, Jack thought. Despite this, he couldn't help but grin like a bandit in front of a pot of gold as he inspected the carriage traces on the road. At first, they were a bit meandering, but then turned straight as the pace of the carriage increased again and changed directions. Lady Katherine wasn't an idiot. It was good she turned away from the fight, though it meant that they couldn't meet up with her. Jack was a bit proud of her. His daughter was such a smart girl.While thinking this, Jack comfortably forgot that he contributed nothing to her abilities whatsoever."Pack up these people and let's get back. We'll search for the Lady on the way", Jack said and gestured in the direction of the prisoners. It was a small group compared to Jack's own, so it was hardly difficult to defeat them. Only a young boy had escaped their grasp, but Jack was positive someone this young wouldn't know much.Though they had said nothing when they were captured, Jack

Nine soldiers stood in a half-circle around what seemed to be a miracle. Jack had rinsed and bandaged most of Katherine's wounds himself, his calloused hands unusually gentle. He wanted to at least stop the blood flow. However, the bandages didn't even seem to be necessary, as the injuries very slowly started to mend themselves.Jack had not allowed the other soldiers to see their Lady in this precarious situation. They had to stand with their back to her, even after Jack wrapped his jacket around her that was nearly as long as she was. With worry he noticed how cold she was, and thinking of the long way back, he commanded two other soldiers to give their jackets. They complied willingly.Wrapped in all those big coats, Katherine looked even more like a child. Jack checked her breathing for a second time. It had become more even with time. Very carefully, he picked her up. Though she was healing herself, she was still unconsciousness. Maybe it was better this way, as s
