Chereads / Fire and Ice: A Ruler's Fate / Chapter 16 - Great War

Chapter 16 - Great War

As the sun and day rises, the moon, stars and night falls. Everyone awakes and start they're daily tasks and routines. Cierra's instincts warns her that there would be a bloodshed where many innocent people will be sacrificed. Blanca just believe its a normal day and Cierra's instincts is out of the area.

Bianca was already at the throne room, meddling affairs and completing tasks. Blanca wonders if she will be either the Queen of Icelands or Firelands. As she strolls over the palace she notices a crying, little boy. She went over and comforted him "Hey don't cry. Your handsomeness will fade if you cry more". The boy sobs and eventually stopped crying, Blanca asks "Your wearing commoner's clothes. How did you get inside the palace?". The boy stays silent and ran away.

Blanca forces to smile and went back. Blanca saw her mother with a terrified and shocked face "Mother, what's wrong?" she asked. Bianca stayed speechless until an injured scout rushes in, loudly reporting "Your Majesty! *groan* The borders are being attacked *groan* it-its the Ancient Army!" Blanca and Bianca's eyes widen with shock.

Bianca immediately ordered "Send an envoy to ask for help from the Firelands and lastly, send half-quarter of the Ice Army to the borders and for the quarter left, protect everyone. Save as many of our people and if you die by protecting us, you shall be honored".

Blanca steps in "Mother! I want to be the envoy! I will ask Father for help!". Bianca closes her eyes, hesitating "The Princess will be the envoy but there will be no protection because of our critical condition".

Blanca hurries outside the Ice Palace and rides her white horse, Winter. With a limited time, Winter gallops and Blanca hurries. Bianca's last order was "I will not just sit down and wait for my death and the fall of the Icelands. I, the Queen of Icelands, will fight with the Ice Army and protect my beloved home. If I ever sacrifice my own life, my daughter, the Princess shall ascend and take the throne".

As the Ancient Army kill and destroy, bringing chaos and splattering blood all over the once majestic Icelands. Blanca reaches Firelands being welcomed with respect, but she ignores and hurriedly gallops Winter to the Fire Palace. She was stopped by a powerful Fire Noble. She grits her teeth and uses 25% of her power to throw them back and hurriedly gallops to the Fire Palace.

At the Holy Flame Gate she unmounted on Winter and runs to the throne room. Ash was busy meddling affairs and conclusions at the throne room. Blanca forcely opened the throne room's door and falls to kneel. Ash stood up and everyone was shocked and confused.

Blanca hurriedly reports the matter "Father, Your Majesty. Please help me! My beloved home is being attacked by the Ancient Army, my mother is suppressing the sieging. I beg you Your Majesty! Please help the Icelands in behalf of my account and my mother!".

Ash quickly ordered "Prepare half of the Fire Army and Fire Noble Elites! Half of the Fire Army will protect our home in case of a hidden attack. This is an order!". Everyone bowed showing acceptance of the royal order. Everyone was ready and remembering the past, it repeats itself but the Princess is now fighting to protect her beloveds and home.
