Now that I was already in the ice castle's office I sat at my study desk and took out a new piece of paper.
"Dear Ivey.
The little girl who came to kill me had grown so much but your innocent eyes remain the same. Your purity about your ambitions and your determination always motivates me. I always felt that I had a much more relaxing time while chatting with you and would hope that your tea is always as refreshing as now.
I know you and your father have many differences but don't worry he loves you a lot, just trust my word. I had a talk with him after meeting you and found some great stuff so try to have a chance to talk with him.
Now here are somethings I want you to do:
-Help Issac with the head position of the Vennes household, he will really need it.
-Herrick will need all the support after what will happen to me so be there for him.
-Go to Sofia, she will have a gift for you from me.
That's all. And Ivey you are not a killing tool but just a girl, a woman who loves the world and will do anything to save it. Remember our conversation about it and smile while drinking the tea we always drink.
Live happily Ivey you deserve it.
Yours truly
Ice king."
'Hope that kind child will be ok. I am most concerned about her, Zoey and Jasper. But I can't be certain about this life's ending.'
I placed the letter in the envelope and then started with the next one.
"Dear Herrick
The cry baby doctor who always takes care of my health and well-being, look after yourself once in a while. I know the methods of torture are engraved in your mind and body but don't think that you are anything less than a lifesaver. Your worry about your dark side may look big but don't worry too much and talk to Ivey often when you feel depressed.
I will miss the time we used to drink about life and other things. Also just get married already you coward. She loves you too much to let you go, you stupid piece of a gem.
Now just a few things you need to do:
-Start your own clinic as big as a building. The property papers are with Sky so get it from her. You can use the Brightfall funds.
-I want you to get married and love Ivey with all your heart. Not that you already do.
Herrick it's not your fault, it was my decision so live well. Ah and dont be scared of your father-in-law and brother-in-law.
Live well, really, and thank you for the beers that you always bought.
Yours truly
Ice King."
I placed the second letter in the envelope and sighed looking at them. I called for a snow fairy and told her to give them to Leia. I placed my hands on the desk and pushed with some force to get up. I walked to the window and stared outside to the snow covered plain reflecting the light of the sun and shining like jewels.
"Time to go home."

With the bright light subsiding, the Mabuz manor's teleportation room came into view. I walked out the magic circle, my hairs reverting back to black and eyes back to ocean blue. I exited the room with Jas and walked into the main lobby.
Millard, after seeing me, came and bowed. I nodded and he raised his head and said with a smile "Young master Haru is back." he finished and I heard an exciting voice calling from behind me "Big brother!!!" he jumped on my back and I caught us both from falling face front to the floor.
"Young master you shouldn't jump on my lord like that!" Minh, Haru's attendant came running to us.
I raised a hand and said "It's ok Minh he is just playing."
"But my-y lord, the young master he-he is already fourteen."
I could feel the weight of a fourteen year old on my back but that's fine. I just smiled and placed Haru back down. I turned and gently messed up his dust blond hair.
"So what's my scholar brother doing back home? Ran away again?"
His unique dual -green and blue- eyes looked at me and said "Nope I am back because of the harvest festival," he caught both my hands and lifted them high up "and to spend time with you big brother."
"Sure, let's have lots of fun." I smiled looking at the bright face.
'I don't know how much time I could spend with him but I will have to try and spend the most I can.'
Haru Mabuz is a dragon child I adopted as my brother. He was a child who had difficulty controlling his power so grandfather had sent him to me and I took full responsibility of him so he could one day inherit the Mabuz dutchy.
"Than young master lets first let my lord rest after that you can have your time with him." Minh coxed the child to calm him down.
"Okay," Haru nodded and said his bye to me "see you later brother, have a good rest."
"I will." I said while waving my hands.
"I will prepare some tea, my lord." Millard said.
"Make an elvish one."
He bowed and left.

"Your Majesty, why are we proceeding with the harvest festival even in the state of war." Ryu asked me.
"We have to show everyone that we do not fear anyone so hosting the festival is like a mockery to them. And I want my son to enjoy it a little."
"Always back to prince Kaan, huh, your majesty." Ryu said in a jest.
I laughed and said "well he is my favorite plus he is the first born who is about to go to war, so that much is a given."
"Your generosity knows no bounds, Your majesty.." Ryu said as we headed to the festival preparation site.
