ICE EMPEROR

MYSTERIOUS PARTICIPANT

Childhood is what, they always laugh and have fun. What a fun childhood it was...

I don't know...

“Mr princess... You can't play with them.” Said a royal servant to the girl in a light brown disembowel.

The girl who was called was only able to be cooped up in her place. The other girl left the bright brown mane girl alone. Their game stopped when the waiter came, the pleasure that had existed had disappeared instantly. The girl followed the servant into the palace. When walking in the little girl had turned around and saw the other girls playing back with pleasure.

What pleasure is not there for me, I also want to feel it...

In the royal palace grounds of Eartfil saw a bright brown mane girl doing her routine training with the teacher who is the royal knight. His black eyes looked so solemn every time he swung his sword vertically downwards over and over again.

“Truely so princess, you learn quickly.” Praise the teacher with a bright grin.

“Ya...” replied the girl with a bright smile that seemed cute.

Since I was a child, I was taught the way of kstaria.

In the urban center of the princess walking with her mother, it seemed like they were shopping followed by some bodyguards and servants who brought their groceries. The girl stopped when she saw a teddy bear on display in a toy store covered in transparent glass. The doll was so cute that the girl was interested in wanting to have it. Black eyes that always show seriousness are immediately lost and replaced with sparkling eyes staring at the teddy bear.

“My daughter, let's go home.” Call the Queen when she realizes her daughter is not moving and is still looking at the doll.

“Good.” Replying to the girl in a gloomy tone, she began to walk away from the toy store.

In the palace of Eartfil, in a room, a bright brown unraveling girl was curled up sadly thinking about the cute teddy bear she wanted.

While in the King's office, there was a Queen who spoke to her husband about their son. It is seen that their conversation is so serious, even the Queen's eyes look so demanding on the King.

“I want my daughter to live like a girl in general.” Resolutely the Queen.

“I understand how you feel, I do too. But the elders insist that our daughter should get a royal education as early as possible.” Said the King in a sad tone.

“We shouldn't have listened to them, didn't you realize how heavy it was for our daughter. She's just a weak girl, don't treat her like a tool for the kingdom. Do you understand my feelings, I'm his mother. Do you really understand.. hiks hiks..” The Queen cried while covering her mouth, so what sounded was a heartbreaking sobbing even the King himself was only able to put on a sad face that he had never shown in public.

“A little bit, we can keep it a secret from the elders. Let's spoil our son, just the two of us as parents. I also want happiness for our daughter.” Said the King with a warm smile.

“Iya..” replied the Queen with a slight huff.

They also hugged each other to channel warm feelings. From their feelings only to one person, to the bright brown mane girl who always looked gloomy, they promised to make her happy.

As usual every morning the bright brown mane girl always practiced with her teacher. When he finished, he went back to his room to rest. But unexpectedly, a teddy bear that he wanted yesterday was in sight. His expression was so happy that he could not say anything, without waiting for long he immediately hugged the cute big teddy bear happily.

The Queen and the King who saw her daughter's room from behind the door that opened a little were only able to smile a little. They did not know that their little deeds would mean so much to their daughter. The tears of happiness from the two old men flowed slightly from both of his cheeks. For them, the happiness of his daughter is everything. Even their lives were willingly given for the little smile of their beautiful daughter.

I never had a playmate since I was a kid. But every day I always get happiness from someone. My wish is always granted every time I finish sword practice. Secretly my mother and father were always watching me from a distance, they smiled at me. Whenever I felt sad they would comfort me, I knew they were doing this without the knowledge of the elders. Therefore, this is all our little secret...

‘Given the past events make me feel weird. Because of the love of my parents. I never refused their requests, not even my own future. But this time, I asked them something. And because of my request, I have to bear the risk.’ Inner daughter of the kingdom of Eartfil, Lani Eartfil.

“The prince of the kingdom of Vouleftis is indeed strong. He looks a lot like his father, maybe even he can still surpass him.” Said the King of Tenruo who had witnessed the thrilling fight of the prince of Rexas.

“Yes, he's really strong. Maybe the rumor is true, if prince Rexas trained in just a month can get this strong.” Leuna said to the King.

“What do you think of my daughter?” ask the king to his daughter.

“I acknowledge his strength, he must have trained so hard that it could be like that. But there are still many stronger participants than him, I think there will be people who can fight the prince of the kingdom of Vouleftis it.” Lani replied without the slightest hesitation.

“It looks like we will see more interesting things.” Reply King Tenruo who again looked towards the arena.

“Alright, how about we randomize back the name of the participant who will fight next.” Rud's speech was like an instruction for the signboard to vote for the next participant. Before long the randomization of the name began to stop and display the names of the next participants. “This is the name of the participants who will fight next, Lugi, Dan, Hebi and Erda.” The four summoned participants darted straight towards the arena except for one person who had yet to appear.

“Ayahanda, I'll rest for a while in my room. I'll be back not long.” Said Lani who stood up from her seat and sauntered away leaving the King and Queen.

“Is our daughter not feeling well?” tenruo asked his wife.

“So please, maybe he's just a little tired.” Answer Leuna.

“Perhaps with a short break he will return to good.” Tenruo.

While in the arena, the three participants were waiting with the regret of one participant who had not been present. Referees who look left and right can only be confused with this one participant because it has not come since.

“If in a matter of ten Lugi participants are not present then it will be disqualified.” Referee Rud's voice echoed throughout the arena.

“Sorry waiting a long time, I'm here.” Said a voice that sounded from the corner of the arena within the entrance hallway. The footsteps of the man echoed in the hallway, gradually the figure began to appear and revealed a black-robed man to cover his head with a cloak hood. His face was wearing a black cat mask. The aura exuding from her felt so soft and orderly. Everyone began to turn to the mysterious person who was believed to be one of the newly arrived participants.

“You are...” the referee's word stops when the last participant speaks.

“I Lugi, contestant of the kingdom of Eartfil.” He said calmly, if heard again his voice sounded a little feminine forced to sound male.

“Because the last participant has come, let's just start this third fight.” Said Rud cheerfully. “You guys get ready..” instructions from Rud make the four participants start on standby. “Fight Started.”

At Yugi's place, he was now outside the arena building. It seems he is waiting for someone. His gaze always glanced to the right and left, a few moments later his gaze was locked to the front where there was a young man with orange-flame strung towards him.

“Pending time?” Ask the young man to Yugi.

“No, I just got there. Rexas...” Their gazes met each other with defiant smiles at each other.

The atmosphere was silent for a moment, the atmosphere around them felt heavy. But it did not last long as Rexas extended his hand.

“I'm glad we met again, Yugi.” Rexas said kindly.

For a moment Yugi was a little hesitant to grab that hand. But when he saw that sincere smile he finally shook hands with Rexas. “I too..” reply Yugi with his friendly smile.

“Sorry about that time, I left without saying goodbye to you.” Said Rexas who had already let go of their greetings.

“I should apologize to you for cancelling your match with princess Elsa.” Said Yugi regretfully while looking down a little.

“Don't think about it, anyway he doesn't love me. I'm still happy that Elsa still thinks I'm her friend. And also after fighting with you I realized that I was still weak. Not so the Dragon God sword user.” Said Rexas who at the end of the sentence said it slowly.

“It looks like we already know each other, although still not too far.” Rexas crossed his chest while staring at Yugi arrogantly.

“I doubt it.” Reply Yugi who does not want to give up.

“Hahahaha..” Rexas laughed for a while and looked back at Yugi. “You're great, I know you won't bore me, how about we go to a restaurant or something. So that we can chat more freely.” Take Rexas.

“Sorry I cannot accompany you today, because there is something I have to do.” Yugi replied with regret not being able to meet Rexas' invitation.

“All right I understand, maybe next time.” Rexas turned around and walked slowly, but before going far he had time to say his last sentence. “Hopefully we can meet in the final, Yugi.”

Hearing that Yugi did not respond to him, he simply smiled staring at Rexas' departure from his sight. To him the word Rexas is a challenge in itself. But with confidence Yugi accepted the opposition. Because he knew sooner or later they would meet in the arena.

The cheers of the audience were so lively, upon Yugi's return on the bleachers. He saw Vira and the others were watching. When he was in front of them, he was immediately questioned by Vira.

“Teacher out of where?” asked Vira with a slight expression of annoyance at being left behind.

“Ah, I ran out of the toilet earlier. Sorry a little long.” Lie Yugi with an awkward tone.

“Hemph..basic.” Reply Vira was upset.

“Winner Lugi.” Shouted the referee.

All the spectators were speechless at how great the adventurer named Lugi who was wearing the cat mask was. The original arena place is still good now has been destroyed by a mess with some land sticking up like a shift in the ground due to an earthquake. But this was a power belonging to that mysterious person. Not long after the audience again cheered the victory of the mysterious person.

“What happened exactly?” ask Yugi who can not digest the events in front of him.

“He is very great, his strength is the earth element. The three opponents he finished off easily. As if they were nothing to him.” Replied Maruya who had witnessed the fight.

“He fought those three guys?” ask Yugi.

“Before they fought each other. But upon seeing the mysterious person's abilities, the three opponents teamed up and attacked him. And the result is like this..” Maria replied. “Then the first and third fight it seems like many participants are imitating your previous opponents to defeat stronger opponents first. But yes I also understand why they got like that.” Maria's long words made Yugi feel confused.

‘I doubt that Maruya is her sister Maria.’ Inner Yugi while smiling awkwardly.

“Wah Maria is so smart. I'm so confused exactly who's sister here.” Said Vira while staring at Maruya.

“J-don't tease me.” Maruya said with embarrassment.

“Hahahah..” they laughed happy to see the reaction from Maruya.

“Quiet, Vira Just kidding.” Said Yugi who finished laughing.

“Actually this sister's attitude is passed down by father. While I look more like my mother.” Maria said, even though she had a good laugh. But his expression turned slightly moody as he spoke his mother's name.

Yugi, who realizes it, is silent, because he knows that it is something personal. He would rather look towards the person who has won this fourth match. The mysterious person who wore a black robe covered his head with a hood plus a mask. Yugi could not feel his aura, like he had already hidden it well.

“Forget about it, soon the fifth fight will start.” Said Maruya who again looked at the fighting arena.

“Fifth fight will start soon, it will be the closing fight for today. Where the day shows it's already afternoon. So let's enjoy this fight.” Said Rud with his spirit. “Without wasting any more time, here comes the participant.” The magic projector board continued to randomly play the participants' names and eventually selected four participants who would advance to the arena. “Waahh. We welcome, Reiga Boltendra.”.

“Woooaaahhhh..”

All of the spectators cheered as a handsome young man gaped yellow jabrik walked towards the arena through the arena gate. His clothes were all black with yellow accents bearing lightning on each side of his robe. Plus his forehead which has a yellow lightning emblem became his trademark.

“Prince of the kingdom of Boltendra. Isn't that..” guess Maruya.

“True, the three people I previously held were from the kingdom of Boltendra.” Said Yugi who remembered the fight.

“I'm curious about the power of the royal prince Boltendra.” Said Vira with enthusiasm.

Rud who had already seen Prince Reiga enter the arena instantly took the instructions back to summon the next three participants.

“The next three participants, Arga, Cerga and Jogi.”

The three participants called referees went straight into the arena. They kept each other twenty meters away from their opponents. Their sharp gazes were wary of each other. Especially Prince Reiga, the three participants were very wary of the prince from the kingdom of Boltendra. Seeing the prince of the Vouleftis kingdom who possessed extraordinary strength was enough for them to be wary of the power of the prince from another kingdom.

‘Everything looks very strong, especially prince Reiga. I feel the air not wearing.’ Jogi's cold-sweated inner self at his temple. His black mane looked neatly towards the left, his black eyes looking at his opponent warily. He was wearing a standard blue adventurer outfit.

“Prince of kingdom Boltendra yes.” Arga said in a disdainful tone. Her clothes are red with black stripes on each edge. His black eyes only looked at Prince Reiga, his red hair looking straight down with a bob. “I'll be your opponent prince.” His challenge.

“...” while prince Reiga just stared intently at the reply of a challenge from Arga.

Feeling intimidated makes Arga a little nervous while gulping her saliva forcibly. Cold sweat slid down his temple. He also began to think that his actions had been very careless. But all of Arga's perspectives regarding Prince Reiga collapse in an instant.

Not long before Reiga answered Arga's challenge eagerly. “Of course, if you challenge me then I will accept it.”

Everyone was a little stunned by the attitude of this one prince. Unlike Rexas who is calm and can hold himself back. He is inversely proportional to her, with enthusiasm and passion she accepts the challenge from Arga. The fear that had fallen from Arga began to disappear when he did not feel intimidated anymore. With a confident smile, he re-established his courage.

‘I think he's a quiet prince, apparently inversely proportional to what I thought. How noisy, forget it better I fight him alone.’ Inner Cerga who stared at Jogi with his laziness. His black eyes felt no interest in this fight. The hair tied to the short ponytail was blown off a little. His clothes were all grey with a bow behind his back.

“Fifth fight as well as closing for today's competition.”

Hearing the words of the referee all the participants began to feel the tension. Their heart pumps between fear, pleasure, tension, excitement and so forth. The feeling mixed with each other as the referee still paused his words.

“START..”.

Each participant lunged at each other with great speed and expressions wanting to defeat each other.

The fifth and closing battle for today's competition had begun, many of them possessing extraordinary strength and ability...

But few of them know that the resurrection of the legend is coming soon...
