Three days after the victory at Yanling, formal alliance talks concluded in the royal council chamber. What had begun as an emergency war pact was now solidifying into a lasting federation between Carosso and Yanling. Emperor Ethan and King Jian sat at a polished teak table, surrounded by their advisors—including Celestia and Lucius for Carosso, and Queen Mei and Yanling’s ministers. Before them lay a freshly inked treaty bearing the seals of the dragon and the phoenix.

With a flourish, Ethan signed his name, and King Jian followed. The Treaty of Eternal Alliance was official. It pledged mutual defense, open trade, and joint development of resources—binding the two realms as one.

“Today marks a new chapter for our people,” King Jian declared proudly. “May the friendship between Carosso and Yanling endure for all time.”<

    Two weeks later, King Feindo arrived in Yanling bound in enchanted chains. After a swift, closed tribunal, he was sentenced to spend the rest of his life in Yanling’s deepest dungeon.That night, in a lightless stone cell beneath the palace, Feindo sat alone with his rage and fear. It was then that a familiar, chilling presence crept into the dungeon. A sibilant whisper echoed in Feindo’s mind – the ancient ice demon to whom he had bargained his soul was calling in its debt.Feindo tried to scream, to beg for mercy, but an invisible force seized his heart. Frost spread over his body from within. By the time the guards checked on him at dawn, they found the tyrant frozen to the floor, his face twisted in horror. The demonic pact he had forged had devoured him at last.News of Feindo’s death sp

  • CHAPTER 131: Feast of Unity

    That night, the imperial banquet hall was alive with celebration. Lanterns cast a warm glow over tables laden with delicacies from both realms. Phoenix banners of Yanling hung alongside Carosso’s dragon emblem, a vivid display of unity.Emperor Ethan sat at the head table with Princess Fu Rong, flanked by King Jian and Queen Mei. Celestia stood like a sentinel behind Ethan’s chair, while Leon and Chancellor Lucius mingled with other honored guests nearby.Laughter and the clink of cups filled the hall as toasts were raised to bravery and alliance. Midway through the feast, King Jian rose to his feet, buoyed by jubilation (and perhaps a bit of wine).“Friends,” the King announced, raising his cup high, “tonight we celebrate victory—born from the unity of Carosso and Yanling! Such b

  • CHAPTER 130: Mercy

    Throughout the night after the battle, Emperor Ethan moved through the snow-laden camp, thanking and encouraging his weary soldiers. Nearby, Princess Fu Rong shed her royal trappings to assist Yanling’s medics, offering water and words of comfort to the wounded. Battered as they were, the allied troops’ spirits were buoyed by victory and the personal attention of their leaders.Celestia stood guard at the entrance of the command tent, ever vigilant even in victory. By her side, under close watch, sat Israya. The defeated ice mage’s hands were bound with an enchanted rope, but she had been given a fur-lined cloak for warmth and a cup of hot tea to ward off shock. Despite being a prisoner, Israya had been treated with basic kindness—a stark contrast to the cruelty she’d known under Feindo.Ethan entered the tent, accompanied by Leon,

  • CHAPTER 129: The Storm

    The combined might of Celestia and Fu Rong sundered Israya’s blizzard in mid-air. The colossal wave of frost exploded into a harmless flurry of snowflakes with a thunderous boom. Icy shrapnel rained down on the valley, but the deadly storm was no more. A ragged cheer went up from the alliance lines at the sight.On the rocky ridge, Israya staggered from the backlash of her failed spell. Before she could recover, Celestia dropped from the sky and landed before her. Desperate, Israya summoned a last jagged icicle spear and lunged with a cry. Celestia easily parried the clumsy thrust and struck with her gauntlet, knocking the wind from the young mage. Israya crumpled to her knees, gasping. In an instant, Fu Rong was beside her, a flame-wreathed spear poised inches from Israya’s throat. Surrounded and spent, Isra

  • CHAPTER 128: Ghosts in the Snow

    One month later, war came. Dawn broke cold and gray over the jagged peaks of the Ice Dome Mountains at Yanling’s northern border. Atop the highest pass, King Feindo’s legions gathered in eerie silence. Thousands of Shuanglin soldiers stood massed on the snowy slopes, armor glinting dimly in the weak light. Banners bearing a black snowflake flapped in the biting wind.From that lofty perch, King Feindo glared down at the valley. Through blowing snow, he could just make out the alliance’s defensive lines far below—the phoenix and dragon banners fluttering side by side at the foot of the pass. They dared to make a stand against him.“Fools,” Feindo hissed inside his helm. His breath curled in the frigid air. He clenched the hilt of his jagged black sword, anticipating the terror he would soon unleash.More Chapter
