Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

"He let his memories swirl inside his head, and he saw his beloved wife's face. Her name was Chleora Regnz."

"What?" Chleo was too shocked to say anything.

The name of the girl who had hated the blue king and who had made the blue king suffer a terrible heartbreak was Chleora Regnz? Why did that girl have the same name as her?

Who was that pitiful blue king?

Even though many kinds of questions filled her mind, Chleo remained silent and listened to everything her lover had to say.

"Ever since the blue king returned to the past, he changed all the history that occurred in his wife's life. The little girl should have been kidnapped and tied up in the river for hours. But the blue king saved her before that happened. Thus, that girl didn't have the trauma or phobia of water."

Chleo smiled when Max stared at her with a yearning look while remembering something that happened long ago.

Wasn't it the blue king… Max saved her when some unknown people kidnapped her when she was a kid?

She was afraid then, but her Ice Prince brought her to the ocean and played with the sea mammals all day. Thanks to that, she had no trauma nor worried about playing outside again.

"The blue king's actions that time changed the course of what should have happened. The Flame Queen should have died exchanging her life for the little girl's, but since the little girl was fine, the Flame Queen didn't have to sacrifice her life."

For some reason, Chleo felt her chest tighten the longer she listened to the story her lover told her.

Which blue king was Maximillian talking about? And why does the girl the blue king loves in his story have the same name as her?

"As he wished, the blue king managed to change history and make the girl's life better. There was no trauma or excessive fear that the girl had. In fact, the blue king could see her smiling and… giving her a flower on every birthday."

Chleo gasped in surprise at the ending of her lover's story.

Giving flowers on every birthday? Isn't that…

"Max… You… that girl…."

"That's right. That girl was you. And that blue king was me." Max stroked Chleo's soft cheek lovingly while looking at her with regret that he could never get rid of.

"So… we were married before and… I broke your heart?" Chleo never thought she could hurt the feelings of the person she loves, let alone break that person's heart.

Max shook his head. "It was my fault. I made a mistake, and you have every right to hate me and break my heart all over."

"But…" it was unbelievable.

How could someone… herself have the heart to hurt someone that cherished her dearly and treat her as if she was the only woman in his heart?

Chleo had a hard time believing it, but she felt certain that Max wasn't lying or tricking her with a fake story like this.

If what Max said was true, it would mean that her meeting with her Ice Prince was their first encounter after reversing the time.

"It turns out that previous lives did exist." Chleo didn't think she had a previous life at all.

No. To be more precise, Chleo lived this life twice under very different circumstances.

Little by little, Chleo began to accept the story that Max told her. But it was challenging for her to take that her former self was so annoying and heartless. She couldn't understand why her old self could fall in love with Alexis.

From the beginning, little Chleo had been captivated by her Ice Prince and always looked forward to their reunion.

Even when she met Max for the first time at the airport, she felt her heart had been attracted to the man without knowing that Max was her Ice Prince.

You could say the only one who could make her heart flutter and open her heart was only Maximillian.

She couldn't understand why her red-haired self could hate Maximillian so much.

Well, the man did make a mistake when he forced her into marriage by threatening her. But she was sure Maximillian had a reason why the man was threatening her. She was also sure Maximillian wouldn't hurt her family, considering how much he loved her.

So why was the red-haired Chleo entirely unwilling to give Max a chance to approach her?

No matter what the answer was, it didn't matter anymore. What matters now is how Chleo feels at the moment. She loved Max and would never glance at another man.

"Max," Chleo called in a soft tone while touching her most loved one's cheek. "That was all in the past. What's important now is that I love you, and I don't want to be separated from you. We are together now. It all matters."

Max held Chleo's hand on his cheek while giving a troubled smile.

"You won't talk like that once you get your memories back."

Chleo frowned in displeasure at this unexpected statement. What does it mean by getting her memories back? What memory? Chleo felt she had never had amnesia.

"Chleo, you will remember everything that happens in your previous lives on your 21st birthday."

Why did she have to remember the most heartbreaking moments of her previous life? She never even experienced it after the reset time. So why should she remember it?

Chleo straightened up and looked at the pair of blue eyes that were very beautiful but emitted a deep sorrow. She didn't understand why the blue eyes that used to be cheerful and full of mischief had suddenly turned gloomy.

"Why should I remember it?"

"That was the price I took when the violet king offered to rewind the time of the human world. You'll remember everything when you're twenty-one."

"Okay. Let's just say I'll remember it, then why do you look sad?"

For a while, Max didn't answer her question. His hand moved to hold Chleo's hand, then ran his thumb into the girl's skin gently.

This light, soft-touch made Chleo smile and feel comfortable. Ah, she really yearned this gentleman's touch. She could have enjoyed it and cuddled with Max for hours while waiting for the others to arrive.

But Chleo got rid of her wish because she didn't want to see Max look as miserable as he did now. It seemed that the man was under pressure, and Chleo had no idea why.

"I think I'm scared."

"Scared? Why?"

"Back then, you hated me so much, and your mind was filled with Alexis. I'm afraid you'll also become indecisive once you get your memories back."

Chleo was at a loss for words hearing this. So he had been depressed all this time because he was worried that Chleo wouldn't love him again once her memory returned?

"Max, what do you think am I? I admit I didn't know what it's like to hate you. Even when I tried to hate you, I couldn't. Neither did I know who I fell in love with Alexis. But the redheaded myself went through all the dark and unhappy childhoods. You yourself said you had changed my childhood to be more beautiful. I am now growing up as Chleora Regnz, who lives a life filled with love from my parents and my two uncles. I was like I was standing on top of the world when I met my Ice Prince, and never once did I stop looking forward to meeting him again. To meet you.

Even if my memory returns, I'm sure my feelings won't change. Because the current me is way much different from Chleo, who hates you."

Chleo raised her hands to cup Max's cheeks and brought her face closer to give him a kiss on the lips. "I love you," she whispered without taking her face away and looking straight into her lover's ocean-like blue eyes.

Chleo wanted to reassure the man that her feelings would not change even if the memories of her past life haunted her.

Chleo was about to kiss the man's cold lips again because Max didn't seem to move or return the kiss. But before the two pairs of red lips touched each other, a loud snoring sound was heard.

"Ehem… ehem…"

Chleo stood up from Max's lap with one swift movement and lowered her face, which was now as red as a boiled crab.

"Did we arrive too soon? It looks like we'll have to deal with the Vectis for a little bit longer."

Harmonie hit Chu Jung on the shoulder while laughing lightly, then ran over to Chleo only to hug her tightly.

"I'm so glad we came on time. You have no idea how scared daddy and I were when we found out you weren't in the human world anymore. Diego was even grumpy, and it was the first time I'd heard him utter harsh words cursing all the Vectis. You would never have guessed it. He was like a mad dog."

Chleo frowned in confusing, hearing the chattering unknown girl. She was sure she had never met this teenage girl, but why was her talkative way of speaking so familiar?
