Lucien was astounded by this discovery as he glossed his fingers over the frozen wall.
‘Where does this lead to?’
Lucien looked down the hallway and was about to release another blast of cold magic to freeze more of the wall when he heard someone calling behind him.
“Sir Lucien!”
Lucien relaxed and suppressed his magic as he turned around to see Roseline standing before him, her breath freezing as it escaped from her mouth.
“Are you alright?” she asked as she glanced at the frozen hallway. “I heard a yell.”
Lucien sighed, “Yeah. I’m fine. It’s nothing.”
Turning away, Lucien was about to leave when Roseline spoke again, “It’s about your parents, isn’t it?”
Hearing this, Lucien stopped and looked over his shoulder. Roseline looked up at him with a look of sorrow.
“Do you want to get something to eat and talk about it?” Roseline asked hopefully.
Lucien looked at her pure innocent beauty, but the idea of him

Ice Monarch Change
The door opened to reveal a rather large room with a bunch of chests pushed against one of the walls while on the opposite wall was a bookcase. The bookcase was filled half with books while the other half was filled with medicinal instruments and other miscellaneous tools. On the back wall was a set of chains and handcuffs. Within the center was a single table with strange drawings carved within the wood.The room had an unpleasant stench and was in dire need of cleaning.‘Guess the maidservants don’t get to clean this room.’As soon as Lucien walked in, he felt a very dark power lurking within. He paused as the hair on the back of his neck stood on end. Lucien decided to move slowly and keep his senses alert as he inspected the room.He first looked at the table to see that what was inscribed within the wood was a magic circle.Lucien took note of this as he moved to one of the chests. He tried to open it, but it was locked. He d
Ice Monarch Guild Order
The next day, the order was printed in every newspaper, a letter was written to every registered guild, and to the registered adventurers, a message popped up on their bracelets. It wasn’t long before almost every living sole within the nation of Verglacia knew of the order.Lucien waited within the castle, constantly listening to the reports of what guilds were complying, and those who weren’t.He heard these reports from within the council room along with the twelve council members. He stood against the wall while the twelve conversed amongst themselves about how to subjugate those who refuse to comply.“Not many are agreeing to obey the order. It seems they all adore the freedom to do as they please rather than be under our control,” one of the council members observed.“They still have the rest of today and tomorrow to decide what they are going to do. I say we give them a chance before we do anything,” another advi
Ice Monarch Submission
…A few weeks later, within the capital…The people of the capital were bustling around with news of recent events. No one couldn’t help but bring it up. Two women were doing this rather loudly…“Did you hear most of the guilds are signing the order that went out?”“Yes! I have also heard that others decided to just disband themselves rather than go through with the signing. But what was most interesting to hear was that for the ones that refused to do wither of those was destroyed by Sir Lucien Verglas!”“I know! Did you hear about the first city he forced into submission? Anyway, he froze up the entire town and then demolished their guilds! A bit extreme I think…”A man who overheard their conversation then joined in.“It’s not like that was the furthest he went,” the man explained. “I heard that after he destroyed a guild hall in a d
Ice Monarch Bout
Kalin made the first move and quickly rushed forward and threw a jab.Lucien tilted his head out of the way and countered with a fist thrown towards Kalin’s side. However, before Lucien’s fist connected, he felt Kalin’s arms wrap around Lucien’s head and was yanked down causing him to miss. Instead, he felt Kalin’s knee drive up into his stomach.Kalin then threw Lucien onto the ground and pounced. Lucien avoided and swept Kalin’s legs out from under him.While Kalin was on the ground. Lucien drove his elbow into Kalin’s chest with such force, Kalin felt the bones there break in half as well as the floor crack under him.‘Fuck! It hasn’t been a minute and I feel like I was run over by an entire caravan!’Kalin, out of desperation, grabbed onto Lucien and then threw Lucien over him with his leg, allowing him to get up.Just as he got up, Lucien swung his foot in a big sweeping motion
Ice Monarch The Altrite's Purpose
Lucien pushed Roseline, who was still crying, off of him and began to walk forward.“A-a-ah! I wouldn’t move any closer or I will have them killed here and now,” the Monarch warned.Lucien stopped as the guards pushed the swords closer to his parent’s necks, drawing blood.“Why?!” Lucien shouted. “Why are you doing this?! I’ve done everything you asked me too!”“Why? I’ll tell you. You’ve become too influential, and you know too much,” the Monarch answered simply.“Know too much?”“Don’t answer as if you don’t know anything. I saw you near that room. No one is able to get there except me due to the spell cast on it. However, you were able to. You also know about the altrite and its actual purpose. You are too smart not to but two and two together by now. That is why I am going to have you disposed of. You took away the hearts of my peo

Kalin coughed as he lay on the forest floor, or what was left of it. His vision adjusted and saw uprooted trees as well as splinters of wood and dirt everywhere.‘One shot did this?’Refocusing his attention on his objective he got to his feet to see that Roseline and Gloria were struggling to theirs as well.“Is everyone ok?” Kalin asked.“I’m alright,” Gloria answered.“No, look at Lucien!” Roseline pointed out.Lucien’s skin continued to grow darker as his body began to freeze up.“We need to hurry! Where are the horses?” Kalin yelled.“One was killed the other two ran off,” Gloria explained.They began to hear shouts coming from the direction of the capital nearing their position.“SHIT!” Kalin quickly picked Lucien up onto his shoulders and began to run off, the girls close behind.They dodged fallen trees,
Ice Monarch The Next Move
“Hey man! What did you talk with Roseline about?” Kalin whispered as he sat down next to Lucien.“I apologized to her,” Lucien answered simply as he looked at her as she picked and ate some berries nearby with Gloria.“Are you sure that’s all? I heard some yelling and moaning? You didn’t do anything to the princess of Verglacia did you?” Kalin prodded as he nudged Lucien with his elbow.“Come on Kalin. Give it a rest. She was just setting me straight is all. I was at a pretty low point last night. I was ready to give up, but now I know what I need to do. We need to get to Elesron and gather supplies first.”“What might that be?”Lucien looked at Kalin and smiled, “I’m going to leave him with nothing, just like I was.”Before Kalin could ask what he meant by that, Lucien stood up and began to walk in the direction of Elesron.“Let’s go

The plan to let the Princess be the face of the proposed revolution was a great success as many people form Alophia gathered in the city square in front of a rather makeshift platform that was thrown together to hear what she had to say.Roseline stepped onto the stage and the crowd grew silent.Using magic, she amplified her voice so she could be heard amongst all the onlookers.“Thank you, people of Alophia city, for coming out to day to hear my proclamation. As you know, I am Princess Roseline of Verglacia. I have come to let you know about the wrongdoings of my father. Did it seem strange to you, all the wars we were fighting with the other nations seemed to give no results, other than throw away the lives of our soldiers?”She paused and the crowd began agree, some shouted while others just nodded their heads.“It did to me. With further investigation by a colleague of mine found out about a certain ore the Monarch has been g
