Frozen Soul Trapped In Box Of Love

Arslan takes a deep breath. He swallows his anger, as he needs to be calm before making any judgement. Deep down he knew what his brother had said was somewhat the truth.

The unfortunate truth in this cruel world, where a father is trapped inside by his own darkness. The time when The King Reagan, had fallen into the darkness of jealousy for his own son unknown future.

"Poor foolish father. For his whole life, he was in the shadow of our great grandfather. Tschh.."

Derrick glare at Arslan. Aya wondered if they still had humanity inside him. The way he looks at his young brother is not resentment but it is something more complicated.

"Why do you think grandfather who has enormous strength would die by the hand of a young orc?"

"Why?"

Arslan simply answered his older brother's long question with another question. More than to deny, he assesses the possibility. Arslan knew that the human heart was never something easy to foresee.

The man laughed eerily and the lighting brightened the night sky makes the things he said afterwards become more spooked.

"They poisoned him, weakened his vital drained his energy. Tell me younger brother, who can poison humans while giving them p.l.e.a.s.u.r.e?"

"Daughter of the night, Queen of the darkness."

"That's too long, you collect their stories and put them into words. You should start giving them proper names. You know, sometimes I peek on you while you sneaking behind those bushes. Trying not get caught by those monster"

Arslan remember the last concubine his grandfather took to the palace. He found her lost in the Forbidden Darkforest. The woman that once gave her cold glare. In silence she brings discomfort to his five year old body.

"Deluce. She is not human isn't it?"

"That's a lovely name, we should start calling them that. The breed between Incubi and human woman. I met her, in the Unseen World. She proudly tells me how she makes The Great King weak and die. So I killed her when she spat on my face."

The conversation was interrupted by an explosion, Derrick flick his finger and it sends fire to one of the remaining houses.

A loud rough and harsh voice came out after the thunder struck the sky again and again.

"Your highness Prince Derrick, stop this madness"

Aya saw the horror reflected from Carlos' eyes. He was calm yet terrified.

"Damn Carlos, that big brother prince of yours was so unstable. He just blew up another house while talking. It was out of nowhere. You so late"

She is talking to Carlos like they can hear each other, she is devastated by the fact they are not. She cursed a few times.

Derrick smiling, and that smile is so familiar. Aya saw that smile before, she wanted to remember. It is not part of the lost memories, it just recently annoying her.

"That damn prince Aiden. I know there's bad blood in his vein. Dammit Aiden"

Aya got flared up. She gasp and wish Carlos hit his face directly to his mouth.

"Carlos, you look like a fine young a.d.u.l.t now."

"Your Highness, all the villagers were safety and moved to the south fort"

"See, I blew up the empty house. I'm not that evil. Talking about my memories in the unseen world, make me mad"

Arslan holds the swords, the sharp edge almost touches the neck of his own older brother.

Everything that happened is like a set of movies for Aya. From what revolved around her now and with all these people's conversation, Aya summed up everything within her own wisdom.

She understands how King Reagen was swallowed by his inferior towards his own father's reputation and fame throughout the history of The Great King.

King Reagan concealed the fact he doesn't have mana to use and make a deal with The High Priest.

Using the High Priest as his envoy to meditate with the people, they makeup a fine cover story about how King Reagan lost his mana by creating the barrier which held up the unseen creature from coming into the kingdom.

During the battle, Prince Derrick was lost into the Unseen world. They made up a story about how he was dragged by the beast and were believed now dead. But technically he was half dead since he was half monster.

While he tried to survive in the unseen world, he fought a Basilisk and planted its beast core into his body. He took ten years to get used to it and now he wants to destroy the kingdom his father loves more than anything in this world.

Aya nodded to her own understanding. Both Princes releasing their cold aura makes everything look frozen.

"Even the fire will catch the flu if you guys keep releasing those aura"

She moves around them and stops when Prince starts talking.

"You are too soft to be a ruler, you have pity for the monster. You wish to be their friend. You wish to live together in this world"

"Is there anything wrong with that?"

"Oh… soon your dream will come true. I will open the closed door. I will lift the barrier. Soon, everything will be mine."

Under the heavy rain, with the thunder as the background sound. A thin layer looked as if it were being torn apart from the inside.

From the moment she was breathing again, a huge amount of monsters were flowing from the cracked mid air.

All the creatures from Arslan book could be seen among them. And there was nothing that she could possibly imagine existed.
