Chereads / Frozen Flame / Chapter 5 - 5 Engaged?

Chapter 5 - 5 Engaged?

A nearly transparent body was floating below the ceiling, it had a figure similar to a female human.

Her long and pale red hair waved as she floated in the air. Her eyes were akin to aquamarine, they flickered as she gazed at the woman before her.

Although she could only see the person's back, she knew that the woman was a beauty just like her.

The woman had long icy blue hair, and a pointed ear. She was as tall as 5'5, and had a steamy figure.

The woman was walking along the red carpet, facing a pair of wooden doors. When she was a step away from the door, she stretched her hand out and knocked on the door with her knuckles.

*Bam!* *Bam!* *Bam!*

A disembodied voice entered Liz's ears, "Come on in!"

~~~~~

Xander entered the room, he glanced at Belle and smiled. He then excitedly explained, "I have good news, it appears that what she experienced really was Bloodline Awakening. Not only that, it's at the same level of the clan successor's Bloodline Awakening…"

Lizelle's eyelids trembled in delight, and her mom was also filled with joy.

Belle interrupted, "Really?"

Xander nodded and continued, "There's a catch though, it seems that Liz is now engaged…"

The lady's eyes widened and just as she was about to say something, a silvery voice entered her ears.

The voice exclaimed, "Engaged‽"

Xander gazed at the formerly sleeping beauty with a smile. Just like her mother, her reactions were as dramatic and obvious. This was the trait that he loved most about his wife, he found it cute. Of course Liz wasn't the same outside their house, in fact she was only like this at home.

He chuckled, "I knew you were awake, and yes, you are engaged. I had no hand in this, nor did your mom. It was the Fire Dragon God who did. You might think I'm crazy, but I'm not. There are real gods in this world, and he's just one of them. Now back to the topic, remember what I said before?"

Liz was confused, he talked about a long of things earlier. She tried to recall what he said earlier and answered, "That it's at the level as the clan successor's Bloodline Awakening?"

Xander teased, "So you were awake right from the beginning".

Liz was about to explain, but Xander's face became serious once more.

"You are engaged to the current clan successor of the Fire Dragon God Clan, I know you have many questions but let me continue. Having a new clan successor means that someone, other than us, is willing to rebuild our fallen clan."

Belle finally spoke, "Then who is Liz engaged to?"

"That, we don't know. Which is why I asked Albert to identify who else had an awakening today."

Not many knew, but Xander knew that people with the same hair color as theirs was once part of the same clan. Although the City was big, only a few thousand residents had the same red hair as theirs. There were people with red hair that's for sure, but none of them had a hue similar to that of a pale rose.

Identifying who had an awakening was easy as well, they only had to look for someone who had eyes the weren't black like his.

Xander continued, "We'll find out a few of them by tomorrow, so relax. If you don't really want to marry him, then you don't have to." before he looked at his beautiful daughter.

He didn't dare say that even if she didn't want to, she'll somehow fall for the said person though. It was like the Fire Dragon God wasn't actually the one who engaged them, more of him predicting who would the clan successor fall for. In other words, he never failed not even once.

Liz sighed in relief, before her mother left her side. Belle glanced at her daughter and said, "Me and your father will leave now."

After they closed the door behind them, Liz stood up from her bed and finally noticed why it was breezy. Unlike Leo she wasn't so surprised, from a young age her mother always told her about what happens when a person experienced a Bloodline Awakening.

She walked to her dressing room and got herself dressed with pink pajamas. After which she opened the door to her balcony and looked at the sky. Contemplating whether she should give the other person a chance or not, she knew that the other person was also forced into this engagement.

She thought, 'Maybe I should give him a chance'. Before she went back in and closed the door, she glanced at the place where she awakened.

She continued, 'I wish I didn't—' however she remembered something very important. She was using her VR Visor when she awakened, yet she couldn't find it anywhere. She sighed once more and said, "Whatever, I'll just buy a new one tomorrow".

Unfortunately for her, when she collapsed, she fell down head first and cracked the Visor. It was a new model and they're still working on it, they also didn't think that someone would have thought of using it while standing. Thus, her mom casually threw it in the trash. She didn't bother to think of repairing it, doing so was more expensive than buying a new one. It was also harder to find someone who can fix something that hasn't even been officially released yet.

She laid back on her bed and decided to sleep. Unfortunately for her, the events that happened earlier twisted her dreams.

~~~~~

"Liz, I found out who you're engaged to." said Xander. He then showed her a picture of the said person, which petrified her. The person looked a lot like an orc, but he was human.

The next second, it was like time turned backwards and Xander showed her another picture. She was shocked again, the person looked like a horse.

~~~~~

This went on and on, until she eventually woke up in anger. Every single time, it was someone that disgusted her. If she had known that everyone in the clan actually had dragon blood flowing within them, she would have never even dreamt of such things.

She tried to sleep again, fortunately as if God decided to help her, this time she dreamt of something different.

~~~~~

"Come on in!"

Sounds that were made by twisting a door knob entered her ears. She then pushed the door open, revealing a lavish bedroom. Opposite her was a man sitting on a king sized bed, and he exuded a wild but hot aura. He had a handsome face and a well toned body, which was fully revealed to the world as he was topless.

~~~~~

On another part of the city, unlike Liz, Leo was wide awake. He stretched his hand out and his gaze fell on his black ring.

After dressing himself with a white shirt and black pants, he decided to use the ring. He thought that the pain he felt earlier was beneficial, and didn't think that the old demon lied to him. He felt that there was no point in killing him, he was nothing but a nobody after all.

After recounting what he needed to do to use a spatial ring, he focused on the ring before he felt a sudden sense of weightlessness. Everything went black in one moment, and in the next moment light entered his eyes again.

He scanned his surroundings and exclaimed, "Why am I in the middle of a city‽"
