Ice Prince: Rewrite The Star

Max looked around his new home in Seattle. It was as he remembered when he decided to live in Seattle in 2045. Well, it's still 2041, and some stores that were supposed to be in 2045 weren't here this year.

His favorite waffle shop and also the bar he often visits had not been there yet.

"Master, is there anything else I can do?" asked Dietrich politely, making the blue king's eyebrows rise.

"How many times do I have to tell you, as long as we are here, our status is close friends. What would people say if they heard you call me master?"

"I beg apology. It's hard to change habits."

"From now on, get used to it. After all, we both look the same age. It should be easier for you."

"As you wish," replied Dietrich with a big smile. "Uhm... can I go out for a bit? I promised Eve I'd have dinner with her."

"Do what you want to do. When I said we are friends, I meant what I said. Treat me like a friend and do whatever you want."

"Thank you, sir." Dietrich cleared his throat once when he saw the blue king's frown. "Ah, I mean… I'm going now." Dietrich changed his way of speaking more informally and quickly left to get ready for a date with his girlfriend.

"Master, do you want to go around first?" this time, a butler approached him and served him.

"No. I'll rest first. Where is my room?"

After the butler showed him his bedroom, Max opened a portal to his astral world within his workroom. Not long after, Fye appeared and exited the portal.

"We have arrived?" Fye asked as soon as she stepped out of the portal circle.

"Hmm. We have arrived. I'll show you your room."

Fye was a fugitive who was being hunted by the British police. So they didn't want to risk the camera capturing Fye's face during their trip to America.

That's why Max, aka X, brought Fye into his astral world while he himself traveled to America as his new identity. Only after arriving in America, X took Fye out of his astral world and lived in a new country.

He could instantly teleport to America, but he wouldn't be able to buy a house or live there as a citizen. Therefore he had to make this troublesome journey so that the government would not encounter any discrepancies about his identity.

"It's been four years since then, and you still can't open your astral gate?"

Fye shook her head sadly. "If I could open it, I would be hiding there for the rest of my life," she answered. "Arrghh..." groaned the violet female king in frustration. "I have to wait another six years before I can use the time reverse."

"Are you going to erase everyone in England's memory of you right away?"

"Of course. That way, I won't have to hide anymore." Fye replied with complete confidence.

X noticed the violet king's current expression. The girl was no longer pale and returned to acting as usual—a cheerful but incredibly bothersome girl.

It seemed that the woman was not afraid anymore. Isn't this good news?

"By the way, have you met her? Didn't Dietrich say there's a chance the little girl's coming to pick you up? Is that her?"

"Hmm. It's the girl." X nodded at the inquiry.

"So, how is it? How do you feel?"

"Nothing. Are you sure she is the one?"

"I'm one hundred percent sure. Even though I haven't met her yet, but I know her name. Her name is Chleora Regnz." Fye remembered that Axelard, the blue king, had told her the name of his true love when she performed the twenty years of time-reversal ritual.

The young man must think about his first love so that they all arrive in the correct year where Chleo has not had the severe trauma of the kidnapping.

"How could you not feel anything for her? You were so obsessed with her that you threatened her to marry you."

"…" X still couldn't believe this fact.

How could he threaten someone just to marry him? Even if he were obsessed with the girl, he would never threaten her nor force his will, let alone toward his soulmate.

He would never want to hurt the girl he loves to make her hate him. He still couldn't understand why he had done the stupidest thing up to this point.

"You even decided to commit suicide because you couldn't stand the fact that she's gone forever."

He could believe this one. All rulers of nature could only fall in love once. Unlike the other rulers, the blue king would not age and live immortal until he has an heir to inherit his power.

If his true love dies while he could neither love other girls nor have children so he could age, the blue king would wish himself never to be born a blue king.

"Isn't that why you asked me to turn back time to 20 years? If you don't see her, then why would I reverse the time that much?" Fye grumbled, seeing the blue king she had helped give up just like that. "You owe me a favor, but you just gave up."

X could only sigh in resignation because Fye had complained about the same thing countless times. After spending these four years together, their relationship grew closer to where he viewed her as a family.

Besides, X felt comfortable when he confided in her as if he had an elder sister.

"To tell you the truth, when I shook hand with her, another image appeared in my mind."

"What image?"

"This one has never appeared before."

"Maybe it's from your buried memory? Maybe you should spend a lot of time with that girl to get your memory back." Fye started to get excited again, thinking about this possibility. Once X's memory returned, she was sure this man would not hesitate anymore and would chase Chleo until he got her.

"Then I don't need to meet her."

"Ha?"

"The memories I just recalled weren't sweet ones. I guess we both didn't have a good relationship, so she hates me. Maybe she would be happier if I never came into her life."

"..." Why is this guy so stubborn? Pondered Fye silently. "Then why did we come here? Why did I sacrifice my power? Why would I put all my energy into reviving the previous red queen? Why would I bother…."

"Alright, alright. I'll see her." interrupted X with a defeated sigh. "Stop complaining."

Fye smiled triumphantly. "You said it yourself. You have to see her quickly. Now, I want to rest before exploring this place." came the short conclusion from the violet queen.

"Don't cause trouble. I won't be able to help if you get into trouble here. My powers are limited here."

"Yeah, yeah."

X sighed resignedly to see the child-like manner of his fellow ruler. Then he, too, was about to go out to rest in his room when his eyes caught something on his desk.

A photo... none other than a smiling Chleora Regnz.

X sighed in annoyance because he was sure that Fye must have put the photo on his desk. Not Rothbart, not Fye, not Dietrich, all trying to persuade him to approach Chleo. It seemed like they all were his elders and wanted to find him a suitable partner.

Nevertheless, X looked at the photo carefully. The girl has long black hair trimmed with brown highlights, a pair of bright brown round eyes, and a pair of tiny lips that look cute when she smiles.

He had to admit, Chleora Regnz did have a unique beauty. At first glance, the girl looked Asian, but at the other time, she looked like a European girl. Well, her mother was Prussian, while her father was an Asian descendant.

'Axel,'

Thump!

Who? Who called him? X looked around the room to find the source of the sound.

Wait! His current name isn't Axel. And again, why the voice he heard like a child's voice. Who is it?

X was still looking for the figure of a child in his room when a small vortex formed behind him. He looked behind him, feeling the wind rush, and was quite overwhelmed to see what was there.

He saw a  little girl, and this girl looks a lot like Chleora Regnz?

"I will be waiting for you. This time I will hold your hands. So please don't give up now. Please?"

It wasn't long before the girl's tiny figure disappeared into one with the whirlwind that now shot out through the window. X felt something run down his cheek and realized that he had tears in his eyes.

He cries? Why is he crying? Why does his chest feel tight?

On the other hand, the same vortex of wind shot out and flew towards Chleo's modest house. The vortex slipped in and covered Chleo's entire frame and then seeped into her body, making her shiver with cold.

"Brrr... It's cold tonight." Chleo stopped her activity to get a blanket so she wouldn't catch a cold. She decided to quickly finish her essay tonight to submit it to her professor on Monday.
