ICE EMPEROR

THE NORTHERN KINGDOM OF ESLA

The Northern Kingdom of Esla is a kingdom known for its eternal snow that never melts. It was built by the ice emperor and became the first king of the Northern Esla Plain. It had been almost a hundred and fifty years since the ice emperor had taken control of the Northern Esla plains until he died one day of a very old age and disease after a terrible war. A war in which all the weapons of the gods were involved in the war. Before he died, the sword that was the dragon god element weapon was sealed in an eternal iceberg without using his sword sheath. What was once only a very hot volcano and also a barren plain like a desert, changed drastically when the Eternal Snow sword was sealed there. The temperature suddenly dropped drastically, all the plains around the mountain turned into ice and could not melt. Plus the snow was so heavy that it never disappeared, therefore they named it an eternal snow mountain. Not many people know about this story, and the weapon is only considered a mere legend without anyone trying to find the legendary sword. But there was a legacy given by the ice emperor to Northern Esla before he died. An heirloom used to protect the kingdom and was a liaison with the sword of the ice dragon god. So far the Northern Esla kingdom continues to try to find the ice emperor's sword. They fear that the sword was found by an evil and abused person, who still believes the legend is just the kingdom of Northern Esla. A thousand years passed the peaceful life between one kingdom and another kingdom began to intertwine. They made a peace treaty and worked together for the survival of the kingdom. The ice clan which was the sworn enemy of the fire clan, they finally reconciled and helped each other despite having opposing elements. Therefore in the present age the difference of clans is not a problem. But there are still many people who do not want the merger of clans between kingdoms. There were revolts everywhere. But fortunately Northern Esla is a fairly prosperous kingdom even though it is covered with snow all year round. This government is fairly prosperous both in terms of technology and science. Which resulted in the economy of this northern kingdom never went down.

And now I, who was the next god of the ice element, was now looking through the window of the noble chariot, a city in the Northern Esla kingdom. How many times I look is amazing. Despite this cold atmosphere, many people are still on the move everywhere. The building is also mostly covered in ice and snow. What a fascinating world of ice...

“Hebatkan, it was our ancestors who have built the city until as beautiful as now. Although we are all always covered in snow, it will not make us give up. We worked hard until this city was formed. Just so you know, the clothes you wear are special designs made to deal with the weather that always snows all over the year, different from other kingdoms... although this clothing is fairly thin, but when worn this clothing is very warm. Thank you to the clothing industry that created this great outfit. Although not thick but warm very fitting for our kingdom.” Clearly Elna who had been blabbering while sitting on the left side of Yugi. Rufald who saw their familiarity could only stare at her with a gentle smile.

Yugi can only nod when listening to Elna's long story. For a while Yugi looked out the window and found a hot spring building. “What is the building a hot spring bath?!” Yugi asked Elna who was also following him to look out the window.

“Ya, it is a hot spring bath opened to the public.” Answer Elna.

For a moment Yugi wanted to bathe there, but he had to meet the king first to report about his services that had saved the second princess from harm. Actually Yugi has refused, but Elna continues to force and also Rufald can not fight and can only beg Yugi to obey the wishes of the princess. Yugi sighed and raised his head upwards while closing his eyes. As Yugi opened his eyes again, the scene in front of him changed considerably. Now he was no longer in a chariot, but in a vast meadow and a giant tree, the place he used to train with Yui. Artificial dimension.in front of him now there is Yui who is sitting while playing with butterflies. For a moment Yugi notices how happy Yui is while playing with the butterfly. Yugi takes the initiative to approach and look at Yui. While being stared at immediately stood up then looked at the tree in front of him. A giant tree looks like an ordinary tree. But if you look more carefully, there is a bluish-white light that floats near the tree trunk. Yugi who saw that looked at Yui and looked back at that light. If seen it was the Eternal Snow sword that was shrouded in light.

“Why call me here?” yugi asked Yui.

“You see the sword... he reacts to something, in other words the appendage is in this kingdom.” Answer Yui. “So what are you going to do, it looks like it's stored in the kingdom, and it's possible that the guard is quite strict. How do you take it?” asked Yui who was staring at Yugi with a questioning face.

“For that problem... just follow the current.” Reply Yugi calmly.

“Heeee... I think you want to directly break through and take it by force.” Said Yui who was slightly disappointed by Yugi's reply. But of course Yui knows that Yugi has something planned. This could not be done in a hurry, let alone his opponent was the Northern Esla kingdom. One of the strongest empires, let alone its king known as the snow emperor.

“If that thing is a match with me, I will definitely get it sooner or later.” Yugi turns to leave Yui, with his happy face, thinking something interesting will happen.

“Hei Yugi, until when do you want to sleep?” Elna shook Yugi's body, trying to wake him up.

“Eh... aahhh, I overslept ya.” Yugi rubbed his eyes slightly and stared at Elna. “Are we there..?”

“Iya.. welcome to my palace.” Said elna happily while shaking her waist. “Already, let's get down..”

Elna, Yugi and Rufald got off the horse-drawn carriage, and he saw a palace so large that the soldiers lined up neatly in front of the gate greeted them. It was not long before the king and queen of Northern Esla came out and welcomed their beloved daughter.

“Oh my daughter, finally you're home.” The king spread out his hands to invite his son into his arms.

“Ayahanda, mother..” Elna ran and ran into the arms of her parents.

“My dear son, mother misses you so much, that your father cried after your departure.” Said the mother.

“Why did you say it, I told you to keep it a secret.” Said the king who was a little upset with his wife.

“Hihihihihi..” Elna giggled at hearing her father who loved her so much. “Oh yes, where's sister?”

“I'm here my sister..” a girl looks exactly like Elna, but in a slightly more mature version with whitish blue hair like a clear, clear sky, with snow-white eyes that can hypnotize any man. With a beautiful white dress and a crown on her head plus glass shoes adds to her elegance.

Yugi who saw the two princesses in front of him could only be stunned. They really are like a betel in two. Similar, but if you say who is more beautiful. Perhaps he will choose the eldest brother, whose face exudes an aura of maturity and looks like a gentle and loving person. Seeing the brothers embrace this makes him blush because he was treated to the sight of two beautiful angels.

While Yui who is in the artificial dimension is very upset to see Yugi who is again fascinated by other women. [“Awas only later.”]

“Adik, who is this young man?” The eldest brother asked about Yugi standing alone because Rufald went to the king to report on their previous trip.

“Include, she is the adventurer who saved me brother.” Answer Elna.

“My name is Yugi, a novice adventurer who comes from the kingdom of Aries.” Regards Yugi while bowing his head slightly politely.

“Greetings, my name is Elsa. Sister of Elna.. thank you so much for saving my sister.” Reply Elsa who also lowered her head a little typical of princesses.

“You do not need to say that, it is our duty to help each other as fellow human beings.” Yugi said a little gerogi because he saw the face of Elsa's smile that was so beautiful in view.

“Eemm... Now you are fascinated by my brother, the crocodile boy.” Elna stomped on Yugi's feet without feeling.

“Oh my feet... What are you doing?” Yugi's annoyance at Elna's actions.

“Hmph... that's for you.” Elna's Rise to Yugi.

“Hihihihi.. you guys are very familiar.” Elsa's little laugh made Yugi realize that she was now in front of the royal family.

“Ma-excuse me for my sassness..” says Yugi quickly.

“It's okay, it's rare that anyone can make Elna this angry. You are an interesting young man.. hahahahaha.” the king laughed happily at the incident where his son showed an expression that was first shown by him.

“I've heard about your courage who saved our daughter, I thank you.” The queen said with all her heart.

“No... You do not need to thank so, it is only natural for us to help each other when there are people who need help.” Reply Yugi with an awkward smile as he is confronted by the king and queen of the Northern Esla kingdom.

“You are a good young man, as my gratitude go inside. We will provide food for you.” Said the king.

“T-no need to bother..” reply Yugi nervously.

[“Until when do you want to be nervous continue.”]

‘Be quiet...’ reply Yugi in his telepathy with Yui.

“I beg you, do not refuse our solicitation.” Said the queen pleading for Yugi to accept their offer.

“You do not need to beg so, b-well I accept I accept..” so panicked Yugi to repeat his words.

“Aaahhh..” Yugi was only able to sigh tiredly while lowering his head.

‘They are so close, to the point that Elna calls him kak.’ Inner Elsa while smiling happily.

Time passed quickly, and the sun sank, indicating that it was getting dark. And now we can see Yugi bathing in the royal bathhouse. His face looked at the ceiling of the bath room while thinking how vast this bath was. ‘I didn't think this would happen to me. Really... something unexpected.’ Inner Yugi, here only he alone wears it. Not his desire to take a bath, actually he wanted to go straight after dropping off the princess. But unexpectedly he was told to eat dinner and stay at the palace. Plus, she was told to take a bath by Rufald, she had not bathed for a week because of the hell training given by Yui. And again, there was going to be a servant who would clean his body, but Yugi quickly refused. Just imagine the female servant washing the male body, what would happen. After all, he is a man who can also lust when he sees women. Especially shower with him. Just be right...

After doing the thing that made my body wet, I was now told to head to the royal dining room after putting on clothes. There are the complete members of the kingdom. Elna who was sitting together with her brother waved her hand at me. I replied with a smile, instead of smiling back Elna turned her face away for some reason. It's like a shy cat, really cute. In contrast to her brother, looks graceful and full of authority. Truly the figure of a true princess. Without wasting any more time, I immediately sat next to Elna, of course I could not calm down. Even my heart skipped a beat, and the king kept looking at me. Something is wrong with my face...

“Ehem. Today I, Reulad Northern Esla along with my wife Raniya Northern Esla, thank the adventurer who saved my daughter from the monster attack, you are a hero to my daughter. So in memory of your services, from now on you are appointed as a hero of the Northern Esla kingdom. And also I offer to adventurer Yugi to become a knight of Northern Esla kingdom.”

After the amazing speech of the king, everyone who was a soldier as well as the servants applauded and cheered for Yugi. It makes Yugi more embarrassed and nervous with a face that blushes because he has never been treated like this in his life.

“How to Yugi?” the king's wife, Raniya, asked about the decision to be taken by Yugi.

Yugi thought hard, of course this is not an opportunity that can come twice. Therefore Yugi thought about it until his head was too tired to think. ‘What do you think Yui?’ Ask Yugi through telepathy.

[“I don't think this offer is so bad. If you accept it, in other words you will be bound by this kingdom and will become one of the royal knights of this kingdom. There will be no more adventures. But you can think about it again. The decision is in your hands.”] Clearly Yui is at length who somehow doesn't care about it.

“Yes, honestly this is an amazing thing I got. But with a heavy heart I say. Forgive me your majesty, I refuse. It's not that I don't want it, it's just that I'm an Aries adventurer and that's my hometown. I cannot stay in this kingdom. I am just a novice adventurer, I do not deserve it.” Yugi's words ended with his head lowered, waiting for the anger that the king would incur. But waiting for so long nothing happened. Finally Yugi also ventured to look at the king. There the king smiled looking at Yugi.

“I understand your answer.. I will accept it for now. But, if you change your mind, this kingdom will be open to you. But the title of a hero I will still give you as a sign that you are part of this kingdom. Whenever you want, you can visit this kingdom anytime.” Reulad said, ending with a faint smile.

“If you want, adventurer Yugi can marry Elna and be part of this royal whole. How?” Asked the queen Raniya in a joking tone.

“Eh..” Yugi could only silently hear it. But the appeal is reversed with these two brothers.

“EEEEEEHHHHHHH.

“What does mother mean?” ask Elsa.

“A-aku... m-married d-with Y-yugi..” stuttering princess Elna got worse coupled with a reddened face and smoke billowing from her head.

Elsa who saw Elna's expression like that could only put on a face of disbelief. In Elsa's mind imagining that if her sister married Yugi, it made her panic about not losing her sister so soon. “T-wait a minute..”

“What?” Raniya looked at this eldest daughter with a ignorant smile.

“M-married..it's too soon for Elna, she's still too young for that.” Elsa Protest.

“Why, when your father and I got married at a young age.” Reply Raniya with a small laugh.

“Hmmm, marriage at a young age is common among nobles. After all your father and mother used to get married at the age of 16.” Reulad.

“M-married... married...” muttered Elna who kept repeating the word [married] and also imagined herself married to Yugi.

“It looks like Elna doesn't mind.” Raniya.

“Mouuu, enough father, mother..” said Elsa who was tired of serving the ignorant attitude of her father and mother.

“Yaaa.. I think it is too soon for our daughter.” Reulad.

“Hm hm..” Raniya nodded her head while smiling faintly.

‘I was really surprised..’ Inner Yugi who was only able to fall silent from the debate between the members of this kingdom.

“E-eeehhh..” Elna put on a disappointed face because it turned out to be just an ordinary joke.

“My daughter, do you really want to marry Yugi?” asked Raniya who saw the disappointed face of his son because he knew it was just a joke.

“....” there is no answer from Elna, but can be seen a red hue appearing on her face.

Everyone was speechless at the bashful behavior of this second princess cat. They could not believe seeing Elna growing up. The king who saw his daughter's unusual behavior was only able to comment on a thin smile.

“Alright, without waiting any longer, let's just start the dinner.” Said the king of Reulad, finally the awkwardness was broken was replaced with a dinner that went smoothly.

‘I didn't expect it to be like this.right then, how many times would it be repeated, only that word can appear in my mouth.’ Inner Yugi, after the dinner went well, Yugi decided to take an early break and went to the room that had been prepared by the waiter. Thinking further, this unexpected event dragged him into a different story. Where he feels to be the main character in a legend. Starting from a meeting with someone valuable, who always accompanied him when he was down. The woman, with her beautiful black hair and charming eyes, was like darkness at night. Really Yugi wants to meet him again.

“Sara... Now, what are you doing..?”

Yugi pulls the blanket and lays his head on the pillow. Closing his eyes to go into the dream. He hopes to dream of someone he already considers very valuable in his life.

Aries Kingdom

In a house that was not too big, a black-spirited woman who always worked in the fairy storm guild as an administration. Now I look at the northern snow mountains. The place where the most precious figure left. But in his heart he said that Yugi must be fine. He continued to think positively and hold fast to his position.

“I believe, you will definitely come back. Yes, Yugi.” No tears falling on the floor. Leaving the owner, with a look full of confidence in a figure that will surely return when the time has come.

The two people who share love are separated only by a distance. But the heart of each still contained the belief, that destiny will definitely bring them back together. And that's a belief that can't be shaken, even if the storm hits...
