Skadia stood frozen in disbelief as she gazed at Ashies, who stood boldly before her.
She had sealed Ashies in ice for centuries to preserve her beauty, freezing her emotions, memories, and even her ability to think.
But what about the Ashies standing here now?@@novelbin@@
Her delicate brows furrowed, and hostility filled her lake-blue eyes.
It was as if the treasured doll Skadia had cherished more than any treasure in the world had suddenly turned against its owner.
Time was running out. Like a dish left at room temperature, Ashies was deteriorating right before her eyes.
âP-Princess, your beauty is fading even now. Come to me at once!â
Skadiaâs voice rang out, filled with genuine concern.
âNo...â
But Ashies shook her head and refused.
âW-Why?â
âYou froze people... froze our kingdom... I wonât forgive you.â
Thud!
Skadiaâs heart dropped, and she stumbled in midair from the shock.
âM-My princessâ¦â
If one were to describe Skadiaâs feelings, it was as if a lovely young maiden had suddenly aged into a middle-aged woman. The sense of loss was indescribable.
That loss quickly turned into rageârage directed at the dwarves.
âHow dare you lay a hand on my princess! Iâll freeze you alive and shatter your bodies to dust! Your souls will never escape your broken remains!â
Boom!
âUrgh!â
