Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

On the contrary, Chu Jung was still trying to understand what Harmonie had said. Would Max really couldn't handle protecting two human girls at once?

The blue king didn't say anything to justify the yellow king's statement. It meant that Harmonie's account was true!

How ridiculous!

When he was still unfamiliar with his newfound power, Chu Jung remembered that he almost burned the forest and the animals that lived there. The fire was extinguished immediately with just one hand movement, and several chunks of ice appeared to fill the woods.

That man was more than capable of protecting two or even dozens of humans at the same time with that kind of power!

Poor Chu Jung had no idea that the yellow king had prepared something for him while the blue king deliberately kept his mouth shut to be alone with Chleo.

They didn't need Ashley to recognize Yuna's Vectis face. After all, there was only one Vectis that was locked in the imana-retaining wood.

But Chu Jung didn't know it and thought they did need Ashley to recognize the Vectis, so he kept his mouth shut and said nothing.

Although the current yellow king was four years younger than him, the yellow king had broad insight and kept a lot of information from the previous yellow kings.

That's why the red and blue kings accept the strategy proposals of the current yellow king.

In the end, Ashley gave up and went with Harmonie and Chu Jung. Only Luna was left to be with Max and Chleo so that the two sides could inform each other via red wolf telepathy.

Not long after the two rulers and their guardian beasts left and set out for the north, Chleo began to express her curiosity to Max.

"Is it true that you will be overwhelmed if you protect both of us at the same time?"

"No. I can protect you even if there are a hundred of you."

"Then why did Moni say that?"

"Who knows. The yellow king has always been unique. I think she has her own plans."

"By involving Ashley?" there was a tinge of displeasure in her voice. "Why are you laughing?"

"I remember the last time we met; you hated that girl so much. But now you don't seem to accept that your new friend is in danger."

Chleo's face turned red when she heard her lover's words. She felt so ashamed.

"That… We're good friends now. So, of course, I'm worried about her. What's wrong with me worrying about my friend?"

Max chuckled at Chleo's rumbling tone, then brushed his nose against hers teasingly. "Nothing is wrong. I'm glad you want to be friends with her."

"Why?"

"You don't like it?"

"It's not like that. I was delighted to be friends with her. I'm also grateful that our relationship has changed for the better. But I don't understand why you're worried about our friendship."

Max smiled faintly as he stroked Chleo's head affectionately. "Because you were good friends with her in your previous life."

"We were? What's our relationship like?"

"Hm…"

Max continued telling what he remembered about Chleo's past life. That day Max talked a lot about Chleo's past life at the girl's request.

Chleo wanted to know what her life was like in the past, not because she wanted to reminisce. It was quite the opposite. She tried to mentally prepare herself to face the reality of her past once her memories returned.

Chleo wanted to strengthen her heart and make sure that her feelings for Maximillian would not waver.

Well, she didn't need to because she was so sure that her feelings wouldn't change. But it seems that Max felt restless and uneasy looking forward to the months celebrating her twenty-first birthday.

That's why Chloe asked the man to tell her everything to give him peace of mind.

Chleo wished to convey her feelings for Max that her feelings for him would not change even if she knew about Max's past misdeeds towards her.

Chleo wanted to convince the man of her feelings, so she demanded that he tell her everything he had done to her in the past.

At first, Max only told about his wrong actions, such as threatening her and taking her away from her family. But after being urged by Chleo, the man finally admitted that he did everything he could to get close to her.

He gave her gifts and decorated her room with her favorite plants, or he baked Chleo's favored tart on her twenty-sixth birthday.

There were many things that the man had done to make his wife smile. His only fault was that he asked her to marry him the wrong way and kept her from his family.

But even these two mistakes were only meant to protect Chleo.

Compared to the million acts of love and care that Max had given her during their two years of marriage, Chleo should have been able to forgive him and open up her heart for him.

Surprisingly, the red-haired Chleo couldn't forgive him and shut off her heart.

Could it be because Chleo only focused on the two mistakes that the man had made?

Chleo remembered Max once scolding her not to be so narrow-minded. She recalled Max reprimanded her because she was the type of person who would keep remembering someone's mistakes once Chleo hated that person.

So the red-haired Chleo might be the same. She only viewed the man's threat that forced her to leave America and marry him. She had closed her heart and never given him a chance to shower her with his love.

Now Chleo has heard everything from Max's mouth, and she would keep those in her heart and mind. So that when the time comes and the red-haired Chleo's feelings try to sway her current emotions, she would be able to resist it.

After all, all the bad things that happened to red-haired Chleo was Chleo in her previous life. She had a different life, and she was sure she was nothing the same as that red-haired one.

Chleo was sure she could handle her feelings well once the memories of her past life filled her brain.

Only, she sincerely hoped that such memories would never return. Chleo didn't want to see the man she loved the most feel restless and depressed right now.

Is there a way to prevent her from recalling the past?

While Max and Chleo talked about Chleo's previous life, Chu Jung, Harmonie, and Ashley arrived at the northern mountains.

The air there was scorching which made Ashley feel feverish. She fanned herself with her hands, and her mood started to get worse.

In the end, Ashley chose to remain silent and did not speak because she knew what she was about to say would be a harsh sentence that could offend these two rulers, thanks to her super lousy mood.

Right now, the three of them were hiding behind a boulder and peering at the Vectis settlement.

"Can you see it?" Chu Jung asked Harmonie, who was using her super eyesight towards the area.

"Hmm. He's over there. He doesn't look like he's in prison. Strangely enough, he's well served."

"Then why did they lock him?"

"Beats me."

"How do we get Ashley there?"

"Are you stupid? Why should we bring her there?" it was dangerous for Ashley to go to the two-horned Vectis's base.

"Didn't we bring her here so she could confirm the right Vectis?"

"Oh…" was all Harmonie responded. She had forgotten that she had brought Ashley here on purpose... not for confirming the Vectis, though. "We no longer need her. There's only one Vectis inside the lockup. It's definitely him."

'So what am I here for!?' Ashley felt like she wanted to scream with all her might, but she held herself.

"I will lure the others while you free, Vectis."

"Me? How?"

"Duh, it is made of wood." Harmonie stroked her temple in irk feeling.

"So?" but it seems that this young red king still doesn't get the point.

"What she was trying to say... you can burn the wood with your fire!" Ashley couldn't hold back her annoyance.

She felt burning, thirsty, and her mood was getting worse as well, seeing these two rulers still chatting casually as if they were having a picnic on a sunny day.

Can't they see her sweating, and her face was reddening from the heat?

Besides, why don't they sweat? Was she the only one feeling burning?

Ashley felt she was in the sauna for hours, and if she didn't get out of here, she would pass out any moment.

"Oh, sure, I can do it." Chu Jung answered casually, regardless of the two pairs of eyes that stared him at disbelieve. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"You guys wait here, and you red king… don't leave her!"

Chu Jung's eyebrows rose at this command.

Of course, he wouldn't leave Ashley alone in a place like this. Why would the yellow king think otherwise?
