Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

A few moments earlier…

After obtaining Stanley Calvin's approval, Maximillian took Harmonie to his astral world, where Fye, the Time Master, was waiting for them.

"Hi, this is our first time meeting." Fye greeted the little Harmonie, who immediately got a warm smile from Harmonie.

"Nice to meet you again."

"Again?" Fye blinked in confusion while Harmonie gave a wide smile. "Oh, right. You have memories from before. I'm also pleased to see you again. But…" Fye looked at little Moni's body from top to bottom. "It feels novel to see you in the physical body of a child. A little girl, to be precise."

Harmonie chuckled and glanced at Max, who still couldn't laugh since knowing Chleo had been taken to Africa.

Max didn't know that Chleo had left this human world and entered the Vectis realm. When Chleo stepped over the portal line, Max's chest was struck with excruciating pain as if something was gripping his vital organs.

After that, he couldn't feel his true love's existence as if she was no longer in this world.

Even though they were separated by distance, Max could still feel the energy of his wife's life. He had put the seed of his love-proof energy in Chleo's fingers. Even though he couldn't trace Chleo's actual position, he could still feel the life energy indicating that Chleo was still well and fine in this world.

But at that time, he couldn't feel it. This made him fall to bottomless despair, and he felt like he wanted to die right then and there if it turned out that Chleo was no longer in this world.

Luckily, Bai Yu sent a message through the wind to him and informed him of Chleo's condition before he misinterpreted someone had killed Chleo in this world.

That's why Max immediately followed Bai Yu's energy path and teleported to Stanley's residence. It was then that he knew right away that Harmonie Calvins was the current Gale Master.

Max didn't know how to defeat the Vectis, who was relentlessly killing Chleo, but he was desperate to save the girl. That was why he proposed breaking through the Vectis world portal by force.

It sounded impossible because so far, no one has been able to penetrate the defenses of the portal to the world of Vectis if Vectis was pressing about closing the portal. But it could still be done if he cooperated with the other three rulers.

"Max, we still need the red king. However, it is impossible for him to come to your astral world because the source of his life energy is the contrast of yours. Either this world was destroyed, or he grows weak."

"I know. It looks like we have to go to the yellow king astral world."

"Can't do." a voice of objection from Bai Yu sounded out of disliking the blue king's idea. "Monmon still can't use her full power to handle the two rulers' energies. She will be hurt if you stay in her astral world."

Maximillian didn't refute it because what Bai Yu said was true. The astral world was not just any place but a source of energy belonging to each of its owners.

The current Harmonie was still very young, and it was impossible to balance the power of the two rulers within her astral world.

On the other hand, if they went to the red king's astral world, Maximillian would be injured, and Fye would be weaker over time due to the overheated energy.

The fire energy that the red king currently has is too robust and vigorous because the energy source has only been free from imprisonment for hundreds of years, thanks to the previous Flame Queen. Thus, the current red king was having a hard time controlling his inner flame monster.

"Then where should we do it? You can't use your powers if we perform the ritual in the human world."

Fye took a deep breath while thinking of a suitable place to perform the ritual they were about to do.

Harmonie, who had not been informed of their plan, was confused and didn't understand what they were talking about.

"What ritual are you guys talking about? Why can't you use your power if we're in the human world?"

"I will speed up your growth with the red king. That way, you will become an adult and be able to use your power to its fullest."

Harmonie's eyes widened at that. "You can do that?"

"Yup," replied Fye with a proud tone. "But we can't do it if we are in the human world. My powers won't work because the freezing period isn't over yet."

"Freezing period?"

"Well, you know. In order to grant this person's wish…." Fye pointed at Maximillian with her index finger, "I have to turn back time in the human world by twenty years. So I can't use my powers for twenty years, and there are seven years left before my powers reactivate."

Fye couldn't use her power if she were in the human world, but she could use it if she weren't in the human world.

"Ooo..." was all Harmonie's response to this.

She remembered that Maximillian, who still bore the name Vasili at that time, had told her everything when they accidentally met in Russia.

"Then, we can go to your place," added Harmonie then. "Besides, it's only your place that is neutral to all of us apart from mine. Why don't we just go there?"

"Hhhh… Aslan locked the gate to my place. We won't be able to get there for a while."

Harmonie's eyebrow raised at this. Aslan locked the violet king's astral world? Why?

"Are you sure Aslan locked it? Wasn't Vectis the one who locked it?"

Hearing Harmonie's guess, Max and Fye was puzzled and wondered why Harmonie could think that Vectis had locked the gate.

"Why do you think like that?"

"Because apart from Africa, the portal to that realm is inside the Time Master's place."

What?! "Why didn't you tell me from the start?!" Max and Fye asked at the same time.

"...." you guys never ask me, duh. -_-
