ICE EMPEROR

CANCELING A MATCHMAKING

When I came to this kingdom, I never thought I would interfere in it. But all this has happened, and there is no way to retreat now. My eyes stared at the two kings who had the title of emperor. There I saw the other king looking at me in surprise. Moreover, Elna who was so shocked to look at me, maybe she thought why I was wearing this way. My gaze turned to the two people who would be betrothed in this ridiculous matchmaking. My gaze shifted back to the two kings who were looking at me flat, a serious aura that I felt so clearly from the gaze of the two emperors of the kingdom. Now is not the time for me to be afraid, with this, I will take a step and enter into the conflict of the kingdom...

Everyone's gaze was fixed on Yugi, but it did not make him tremble at their hostile aura.

“What does this mean?” Rouxias asked Reulad for an explanation of the young man's actions in front of him.

“I also want to know, what are you doing Yugi?” Reulad asked in a heavy tone to Yugi. The one asked was just silent while looking at them in turn.

“I'm sorry your majesty, but I don't accept this matchmaking.” Said Yugi in a calm tone.

“Do you know the consequences you will receive for being presumptuous?” reulad asked in a threatening tone.

“I know, but I will still oppose this matchmaking.” Yugi walked towards Rexas and looked at him sharply. “Prince Rexas Vouleftis..

“Haaahh...” All the warriors were shocked to hear that, an adventurous young man dared to challenge the prince of the fire clan. They thought maybe this young man was tired of living.

“Yugi...” said Elna in a soft tone implied by concerns.

“...” Rexas silently looked at Yugi while analyzing the situation. Judging from his stern eyes and tone of speech, it seemed that this young man was not only bluffing, that was what Rexas was thinking.

“Why, are you afraid prince?” yugi asked trying to provoke.

“Hem... I accept your challenge” replied Rexas with a smile full of confidence can defeat Yugi.

“Alright, let me be firm, if I win this matchmaking will be cancelled.” Said Yugi firmly.

“Sure, but if I win..?” ask Rexas.

“I will not stand in the way, and.. I will be your slave for life.”.

Deg

Everyone was again surprised by Yugi's bold statement. I don't know what Yugi was thinking, to the point that he risked his own life. All the soldiers and servants who witnessed the incident only thought that this young man had gone mad.

“Agree..” Rexas approached his father and bowed respectfully. “Dad, let your son have a duel with that young man.”

“Izin I give you, show everyone your skills that no one can mess with the kingdom of Vouleftis.” The king of Rouxias.

“It has been decided.. we will fight this afternoon, prepare yourself.” Rexas tried to intimidate Yugi.

But the challenger did not feel intimidated by Rexas's sharp gaze. In his heart there was only the desire to win.

“I am really desperate yes..” now Yugi is resting in his room, waiting for a duel to be held ten minutes more. His chest felt like it was beating fast, as this was only the first time he had challenged a prince.

[“That happens let it happen. so what are your plans now?”]

“Entahlah..” said Yugi casually while laying his body on the mattress.

[“You must think, don't take your enemies for granted right now. His strength you cannot defeat in the usual way.I predict that his level has reached the senior magician level 70.”].

“Eehh so...” does not care.

[“Yugi, do not underestimate the opponent, you do not know what will happen in the arena later.”]

“Just relax, as long as you are by my side, I will definitely win.”

After hearing Yugi's last words, it makes Yui silent, not knowing what else to say to remind Yugi. This master is stubborn.

“It's time..” Yugi got out of bed wearing a robe with a snow symbol behind him. His all-light blue clothes added to the impression of calmness on his face. “There are times when we have to go against the current..”.

Before the incident where Yugi opposed matchmaking between kingdoms. It happened yesterday afternoon where he was approached by the queen of Northern Esla. At that time Yugi was in a forest behind the kingdom to do the exercises. When it is finished, he intends to move on from there. But suddenly the queen approached Yugi...

I'm Yugi, today I just finished doing such a strenuous exercise from the demon teacher.

“Today is so heavy for me..” muttered Yugi.

“Yugi..” call Raniya.

“Which noble queen, what's calling me?” ask Yugi politely.

“Can we talk for a minute.”

At that time I saw the face of Queen Raniya who was so agitated. I agreed and moved to a park, where Elsa asked me for help for the first time.

“Queen Raniya..” call Yugi.

“Yugi, I ask you for help, not as a queen With a pleading face.

“Why do you talk like that, whatever your request I'll grant, you don't need to beg like that.” Said Yugi with a little panic because asked by the queen so sincerely.

“I beg you, please save my daughter from her match, I beg you son Yugi.”

I could say nothing more, seeing a queen pleading like that for her daughter. It reminded him of his parents' love. Unknowingly my gaze became soft, she really understood how she felt. Seeing this, there was no way I would just shut up, but before that I had to know what the reason was. And why only now, why not from the beginning the match was canceled.

“Yang noble queen... can you describe in detail.”.

I also listened to the explanation of the queen Raniya, where the engagement had been planned since they were children. The queen thought her son really wanted the match. But one day he saw his daughter who was very sad because of the match. Seeing her daughter who felt so tormented made her unable to bear to see her. Even if he wants to cancel the match, it won't be easy. Because he was afraid that the unilateral cancellation would cause a split between the two kingdoms. Telling her husband would also be useless, because her husband and the king of Vouleftis, Rouxias, had worked together long enough and made a close friendship. It also makes Raniya afraid that their friendship will be destroyed because of this matchmaking. Then the only way to cancel the matchmaking without offending any party is with a duel. One-on-one combat is a tradition carried out by almost every kingdom if there are those who oppose an engagement that will be held.

Yugi thinks hard, however the risk is very high. At first he had agreed to help Elsa at that time, and now his mother also asked him for help. Yugi feels that the burden he bears is the hope of this child and mother. If he let them down, somehow his heart would feel guilty.

“Will I do..”

After I said that, I knew I couldn't go back. In this way, however, I can only do it. At night, when I was fast asleep, I thought that nothing like this would ever happen.

“Kakak.

Somehow my body felt heavy, like it was being overpowered by an object that somehow kept moving up and down and made me feel pain. Soon I opened my eyes, and saw a woman wearing dark blue pajamas overpowering me. I was surprised, too, that the man was...

“Hwaaa... E-eeeelnaaa..”

Why is she in my room, and why is she on top of me. I kept thinking positively, lest I lose control and attack him like a starving wolf here.

“Uttsssss... don't be noisy, later caught guard how?” elna said in a soft voice.

“Why are you here..?” Ask Yugi.

“Kak Yugi.. I need your help.” Said Elna with a serious face that was quite cute.

“Iya, brother will help you. but you get out of the way first.” Yugi said in a panic.

“Why sister panics so..”

Intentionally or not, Elna even swiped her hips back and forth. I don't know what happened, it seems that Yugi's male soul cried out to immediately pounce on this second princess.

“J-don't move..” says Yugi.

“Why...?” asked Elna innocently, “eh, what is this..?” Elna just realized something was protruding from underneath her. Out of curiosity, he took the initiative to hold it.

“J-don't hold..” Yugi's growing panic.

“Why from earlier brother continues to forbid me, this is what.” is getting tighter.

“Aahhh..”

“Why brother makes a strange sound.. I'm getting curious, what because I hold this prominent object..” Elna was even more curious about the thing she was holding that was still covered in cloth. It seems like this second princess's curiosity is too high.

Finally with such a hard struggle just to hold back his earthly desires, Yugi managed to stop the activities of this second princess. Honestly, Elna's curiosity is dangerous. Perhaps it was time to teach him about life between men and women. Putting the matter aside, Yugi was finally able to sit facing each other with Elna on her bed.

“So what's Elna coming to sister's room tonight-night like this?” yugi asked seriously.

“Sister, please save Elsa..” Elna said with a face holding back tears.

‘Already expected, he also did not want the matchmaking was done.’ Inner Yugi while looking at Elna gently.

“I beg you, I don't want to see brother Elsa suffer anymore. But I don't accept that.I don't want to see Brother Elsa get married just because I had to. It is not a happiness. Brother Yugi, Elna please, please brother Elsa Elna couldn't hold back her crying. Eventually the tears just came down through her cheeks. The feelings that he had long been silent about, all of them he spilled in front of Yugi.

Yugi who saw this scene was only able to smile happily at the great sincerity of Elna. ‘Mother and child blessings are very strong, and also the bond between brother and sister turns out to be just as strong. Don't want to lose each other no matter what happens.where maybe I destroy their hope.’ Inner Yugi who was so moved and envied at the same time saw this royal family who understood each other.

[“But why did the king let it go..”].

‘You are wrong, the king also does not want to sacrifice his daughter just like that. But he only respects the wishes of his son who wants to make this kingdom even better. I know very well what the nature of Elsa is. Even so she only thinks of the happiness of her people.’ Yugi answered by telepathy.

Yugi opened his eyes and looked at Elna with a faint smile as he said. “Kakak will grant your wish. princess Elna.”.

Since then Yugi has vowed to grant the wishes of the mother and child. And here he is now, facing off against the prince of Rexas in the arena of a match that is similar to a football field with walls made of ice surrounding them. Everyone from the royal members to the commoners saw the match between the young adventurer against the Vouleftis royal prince, Rexas Vouleftis. The gazes of the two met each other and tried to intimidate each other.

“Give up, there is still time for you to step back now.” said prince Rexas.

“You are too confident prince.. we still do not know before trying.” Reply Yugi calmly.

“The match between Yugi an advanced adventurer from Aries and Prince Rexas Vouleftis A Senior Witch. I am Rofald as the referee in the course of this fight.” A butler from the Northern Elsa kingdom as well as the older brother of Rufald will be the referee in the fight between Rexas and Yugi. “Prepare, fight... STARTED...”

Wush

Wush

The two people darted at each other to slash the distance. When they were right under attack, they pulled out swords and clashed.

Traanckk...

A violent clash occurred, they pushed each other and no one was willing to budge. Their gazes were sharpening, as if they were looking at a prey ready to be pounced on. Not long after they also bounce off each other and jump back to keep their distance.

“Although only an advanced adventurer, your ability may also.” said the prince.

“...” Yugi does not return his words, he only thinks how to defeat Rexas.

[“You sure you don't want to use Eternal Snow?”]

‘We have discussed it, for now I will use my old sword.’

Hearing the rejection from Yugi, Yui is only able to sigh within his artificial dimension.

[“As far as you are.. go.”].

‘Thanks for the support..’ Yugi jumps high avoiding the fireball that Rexas just launched.

“Bby also... but still not enough.” Rexas stretched out his left hand, from there created an orange magic circle that dissipated the heat of the fire. “FIRE BALL...” A medium-sized fireball shot towards Yugi.

“...” Yugi skilfully avoided all those fireballs perfectly.

The duar duar duar

An evasive fireball exploded behind Yugi with a powerful enough blast. Can be seen created a crater that is quite deep due to the explosion earlier.

“What you can only avoid.” Rexas Eject.

“Efforting to lure me apparently.. but not bad.” Yugi runs around Rexas with his left hand he stretches forward. “Water Ball...” water ball formed and shot towards Rexas.

“...” quickly Rexas jumped into the air, but Yugi had already predicted that.

“Water Ball...” again a water ball formed three pieces and shot simultaneously towards Rexas.

Seeing that Rexas did not stay still, the sword with the red handle he slashed towards the water ball. The three water balls were perfectly cut off.

Splash splash spalsh

“Only that..” trivial Rexas.

“Do not let your guard down prince..” suddenly the broken water ball turned into small ice needles. “Advanced attacks... Ice Needle.”

Not staying still, Rexas coated himself with fire to dispel the ice needles launched by Yugi. “FIRE BODY...” guma Rexas.

“He coats his body with fire.. This way I can't get close.” Yugi Mumbles.

“Hiyaaaaa..” Rexas darted towards Yugi with a sword that was also covered in flames.

TRaaannkkk

Adu skill was unavoidable, both of them slashed at each other and held on. But the one that survives the most is Yugi.

Traanckk

Rexas slashes vertically which is then held by yugi horizontally in front of the face. Back again, Rexas slashed diagonally from top to bottom right of Yugi's body. But with the right technique Yugi managed to hit it and make Rexas attack hit the ground.

‘Heat...’ Inner Yugi who felt the flames from Rexas' body. Yugi reflexively jumps back to perform a follow-up attack. But his intention was unsettled because a wave of fire suddenly appeared before Yugi.

“FIRE SLASH.

Blaaarrr...

The attack hit Yugi, a smoke billowing from his spot. Making everyone unable to see the state of Yugi.

In the audience of the royal family, Elna and Raniya are so worried about Yugi's state. So does Elsa, she looks very worried and also confused why Yugi is doing all this just for her.

Why, didn't I tell you not to interfere. I know this must be a request from my mother and sister. Why do you obey him, I told you not to do it from the beginning.

The incident a week ago before the duel began, precisely in the palace garden where for the first time Elsa asked Yugi for something.

“Please.. if one day my mother and sister ask for something about me, please refuse their request.” Elsa.

“What happened exactly, what did you mean?” yugi asked who was confused by Elsa's request.

“Another week, I will be betrothed by my father to marry the prince of the other country. I too can only obey and obey my father's request, for the peace of this kingdom. But my mother and sister were against it, I didn't know what to do. Then I convinced them, they finally understood. But I still have a feeling they're going to do something to derail this marriage. And as I read their hearts. They chose you, as my savior.” Obviously Elsa at length.

“It's weird, did you just agree to it?” Ask Yugi.

“...” no answer from Elsa. His head was lowered.

Seeing that was enough to answer Yugi's question. “My answer, do you agree to marry her or not?” ask Yugi again in a firm tone.

“For the sake of this kingdom, I will do anything.” explained Elsa seriously while looking at Yugi full of confidence.

Yugi looks into Elsa's eyes carefully, we do not need to know the contents of someone's heart if you want to know the lie, because according to Yugi, he simply looks into the eyes of the person. And he knows... “Owh is so, yes already..” Yugi turned around leaving Elsa. “If that's what you believe, then do it..”.

There was Elsa who could only smile at Yugi's words. He thinks this is the best. But somehow tears just flowed from her cheeks. “Eh... why I cry..” Elsa tried to wipe her tears without a sound. He didn't want anyone to see him cry like this.

Unfortunately, you are not good at lying... Princess Elsa...
