Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

"What do you mean Chleo gone?"

"You heard me. I can't go to my father to look for her. Otherwise, it will be chaotic here."

Diego had no other choice but to ask Max for help. He'd seen the CCTV footage around the administrative office that Stanley had hacked. The CCTV results did show Chleo and someone unknown going in but only that someone going out, while Chleo stayed inside. 

The culprit planned to confine Chleo and lock the door, but why Diego couldn't find her in that room?

Did someone else kidnap her for the second time? And this time, the culprit is not a human?

Is it possible, the real kidnapper is… not a human?

'But just so you know. As long as the danger you're referring to comes from humans, you can protect your family effortlessly. But… if it weren't from humans, even the program I created wouldn't be able to help you..'

Diego remembered his uncle's warning very well. If the enemy was a human, he was sure that his family would be able to defeat this assailant. But if it weren't...

That's why Diego had no other choice but to ask Maximillian for help knowing Max is the blue king. He knew Max would be able to find his sister.

"This is the bracelet you gave to my sister, right?" To convince Max that the current situation was quite precarious, Diego handed Max an opal-studded bracelet.

"Where did you find this?"

"In the administrative office on the third floor."

Max silently summoned Falcon to look for Chleo from the sky. Even though it was only faint, the eagle still felt the bond from the energy seed Max planted on Chleo's ring finger. The energy didn't vibrate, indicating Chleo wasn't hurt.

"I'll find her. But, why are you looking for me more than your family? Do you believe me or... do you know who I am?"

"Who are you right now? Is it Maximillian Navarro or Axelard Cavendish?" he answered Max with a question.

"…"

"It doesn't matter, and I don't care what your real name is, but I know you are the blue king."

Diego expected a shocked face on the older man, but he found nothing. Max's expression was very flat as if he had already expected it.

"You don't look surprised. You seem to have guessed that I already know your identity."

Max didn't guess it, but deep down in his heart, he knew he had met Diego as Axelard Cavendish in his past life. If Diego recognized him, didn't that mean the current Diego is...

"You better go back to your family. I'll make sure Chleora gets home safely." Max decided to find Chleo first before looking for more information regarding their past encounter.

Diego complied and followed the man's suggestion as he knew he could do nothing but wait. Even if Vectis were with him, Vectis couldn't find his sister. Vectis didn't have tracking abilities. Only the rulers had.

Diego joined hands with Stanley to continuously monitor the area via satellite without inviting suspicion from the rest of the family.

They still didn't know who and what the purpose of Chleo's abductors was. If they mean evil to the Regnz family by kidnapping their eldest daughter, they better not make Vincent and Cathy into a panic which will make their captors celebrate.

"You seem calm even though we still haven't found your sister," whispered Stanley, surprised by his nephew's calm demeanor.

"I'm not. But I can't do anything at this moment if the culprit is not a human."

"How are you sure?"

Diego said nothing more and promptly rushed over to join his cousins. He still dislikes Maximillian, but he respects Max's privacy and wouldn't reveal his identity.

"Daddy, why is your temple frowning?"

Stanley glanced to his daughter, who was now holding his hand with a look full of curiosity.

Stanley looked hesitant at his young daughter's face, and then he decided to tell her. He knelt on one knee so his daughter wouldn't have to look up when he talked to her.

"Moni, it seemed like we can't meet Chleo tonight."

"Why?"

"Someone took her away secretly… forcibly."

Harmonie's mouth opened wide, and her round eyes widened at her father's announcement. Chleo was kidnapped? When?

And again, why did her father tell her instead of telling the other adults.

There were so many questions running through Moni's mind that she couldn't think properly. But her father's following words startle her to the point it could make her brain's functioning stop.

"Can you find her?"

"..." why did her father ask her this? Moni looked straight into her father's brown eyes, trying to find out if her father was joking or not.

Yet, Stanley's eyes filled with firm conviction as if he seemed to know what he was talking about.

"You… you know?"

"Of course I know. You are my daughter, and there is nothing I don't know when it comes to my children."

Harmonie's eyes started to tear up hearing that. "Since when?"

"Hm… how about we talk about this later? Right now, the most important thing is to find your sister's position."

Moni nodded quickly in agreement.

"But, I am too young, dad. I couldn't track her down, but I could hear her voice. If she screamed, I would hear her voice and immediately know where she was. But…"

"But?"

"I have to be in a high place."

Stanley thought for a moment to think of a high place that would be perfect for his daughter. What place could be more fitting than the pinnacle of this hotel itself?

Stanley told his wife to take Harmonie out for a bit with a boredom excuse. After that, Stanley told Audrey to hack CCTV he would pass so that no one would see them heading to the roof of this hotel.

Once they were on the roof, Stanley fastened to Moni's fur coat buttons to keep his daughter from getting cold.

When her father was buttoning her coat, Moni looked up and saw a white eagle spinning in the sky.

After Stanley finished buttoning his jacket, Moni walked in the middle, ignoring the bird.

Moni closed her eyes for a moment, then whispered to the wind, "Sister Chleo, scream as loud as you can. I will hear you."

Both of her eyes reopened, showing golden eyes followed by a gust of wind that surrounded her and then moved to spread in all four directions.
