Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

That day Chleo did not want to come out of her room. She didn't touch the food that the cooker sent to her room, which worried her entire family.

Cathy had tried to persuade her daughter to tell her what made her so sad, but Chleo kept her mouth shut.

In the end, they all decided to let Chleo be alone first.

Vincent also canceled his meeting this afternoon as he couldn't concentrate on work without worrying about Chleo.

His daughter has just returned from a dangerous threat from a supernatural creature she has never met. The girl wasn't as cheerful as she used to be before the kidnapping, but at least his daughter's smile and mood gradually recovered over the next few days.

He could even see that Maximillian looked so caring and fond of his daughter that he was sure that no other man but Max deserved his daughter's heart.

Vincent could also clearly see how much his daughter felt for him that he was sure that no other man could tear them.

Vincent did not understand what had caused his beloved daughter to be weeping like this.

Vincent conversed with his wife to discuss their daughter's condition while Diego reached Maximillian secretly.

"Chleo is crying? Why?"

"Why would I ask you if I know the answer?" Diego replied a little cynically. "Did you two fight last night?"

"No. Did she say something?"

"Nothing. My mother said that Chleo was already crying when she entered her room. Then her cries grew louder as mother hugged her. Chleo didn't say anything and just cried. Are you sure you guys didn't have a lover fight?"

Even though Diego couldn't see it, he was sure that Maximillian was stroking his temple hearing his accusations.

Diego couldn't help but accuse the man because the source of red-haired Chleo's sadness was the man on the other side.

Diego suddenly realized something.

"Max, could it be…my sister's memories have returned?"

"…"

"I've never seen her like this since I came to this era. She was like her previous state."

Tut. Tut. Tut.

Diego frowned as he looked at his phone in disbelief. He was making a random guess when he said maybe Chleo remembered, but it seems like Max was taking it seriously?

Of course, Max took it seriously because he knew, Chleo's memories could come earlier than expected, thanks to the fusion of the whole red soul inside her.

Diego was utterly unaware of this fact as Chleo asked Max not to tell her family about her red soul.

At the same time, Yuna's Vectis would not be able to visit Yuna for a while because Aslan sealed the two portal doors so that no more Vectis or humans could cross to another world.

To be precise, Aslan would never open the portal for the next few years until all the rogue Vectis was no longer in the Vectis world. 

Therefore, neither Diego nor Yuna knows about Chleo's red soul.

Max only told them that Chleo and Ashley were captured by the Vectis and saved by the rulers of nature. They knew nothing other than that.

As a result, Diego didn't assume that his grieving sister had regained her past memories because her 21st birthday was still in next month.

In the end, Diego joined his family and discussed ways to make Chleo happy again.

Max secretly teleported into the girl's room to see how Chleo was.

Chleo could feel the temperature in her room dropping drastically and immediately knew that Maximillian was here.

Chleo buried her face into the pillow because she didn't want Maximillian to read her expression.

She was still not ready to meet the man and felt ashamed for not keeping her promise to him.

At that time, she had promised the man that her feelings would not change or waver even if her memory returned. But in reality, holding on to her senses was much more complicated than she thought.

She already loved Maximillian, even more than she had feelings for Axel. But… she still had doubts about her own feelings.

Not against Max, but Alexis.

She shouldn't have loved Alexis anymore because her current self didn't even think she'd fall in love with that young man.

It's just that, for some reason, her heart ached every time she thought about that young man. The past and present Alexis were both sweet and kind towards her.

The difference is that Alexis insisted on using her when he found out that Chleo was the daughter of Vincentius Regnz. On the contrary, the current Alexis sincerely loved her for who she is.

She recalled her company with the current Alexis. She remembered feeling comfortable, at peace, and the sound of joking laughter never left her mouth whenever she was with that young man.

Alexis had also proposed to her, and she still hadn't given the young man a definite answer. She even kept the camellia necklace in her dresser drawer.

Chleo couldn't understand her feelings and chose to hide. She wouldn't be able to face Max until she had sorted out her own feelings.

"Chleo, are you okay?"

Chleo gulped before answering, "I'm fine. I just want to be alone today."

"I understand. When you're ready to talk, you can call me. I'll go straight to your place."

Chleo bit her tongue as she felt a gentle caress on the back of her head.

Why was this man still nice to her even though she was already cold to him?

Chleo remembered that the man had always been patient with her and never once got angry with her whenever Chleo uttered hurtful words.

Isn't it usually a man who has strength and power that humans don't have will be arrogant and offended if no one respects him?

A blue king who has the power of ice and can kill humans with the snap of a finger, it's impossible to have infinite patience when treated lowly and disrespectfully by an ordinary human like Chleo, right?

Furthermore, the blue king had threatened her and demonstrated his power in front of her eyes. The man froze the floor and the things in the house to freeze the door, so Chleo could not escape.

The man used his powers to terrorize her and force her to marry him.

But why did the man never again show his strength after their marriage? Why did the man continue to be patient with her unrespectful behavior?
