Melting Snow

Pierce felt like he had left this palace for so long, until the moment he saw it, he felt a little strange. His return had been anticipated, Pierce could not rest, and he had to directly report to the emperor Francis about what he saw in Winterridger that was the reason he was sent there, to confirm whether it was true or not. 

"Your Excellency Prince Pierce Zyn Graqudian is facing his majesty the emperor!" Pierce lowered his head, he smiled before his father who was staring at his standing coldly. His father has always been like that. He likes to make him do things that are troublesome but it doesn't look like he is attractive. 

"Speak, Prince Pierce," Francis said to his son. His voice sounded very calm and emotionless. If only Pierce wasn't sure that his father was alive, he wouldn't be sure if he was talking to humans instead of robots. 

"Emperor Franscis, the information about the woman is correct. But I have not been able to confirm that she is the woman she is talking about or not and she is the Duchess's fiancée and future to the duke of Noah Winterridger," Pierce reported to his father.

 Francis' eyes winked slightly when he heard this. He was a little unflinching that the woman in the oracle was instead gotten by the cold and strong Noah. 

"Then he will hold it back and just ignore my order?" asked Francis in a firm voice. There was a turmoil that made Francis rise in his voice. 

He stared coldly at Pierce. It was always like that. They are like enemies only. 

"No, emperor Francis. But later they will come here to talk about it and also test whether lady Kiara has divine power or not." 

Francis was terrible on the throne. Several times he did just that, and then smiled. 

"My son, Prince Pierce, what do you think of that woman?" 

An unexpected question, Pierce raised his face, looking at his father with both slightly interlaced eyebrows. 

"Lady Kiara?" Pierce was a little silent and thought about the lady. Then with a smile he says, "Lady Kiara is a pretty unique person, probably because she comes from a different world and also she's a pretty lady and quite young." 

Emperor Francis smiled, this time he sat down properly which made Pierce a little wary. "Maybe you can take Lady Kiara from Noah. It will definitely get better if you can do it, Pierce." 

Pierce's mouth opened slightly with what his father said. There was discomfort in him but considering Kiara's face that attracted him, maybe this wasn't actually too burdensome to him. He wanted it to happen, actually. 

"Okay, emperor Francis, I'll try it." 

After meeting his father and answering all of his own father's questions, Pierce walked out of the room, still in constant confusion

 The discomfort he felt was quite strange. And because of the fatigue in his body, Pierce finally walked over while pressing his nape. He should rest now. He has a lot of things to do and prepare.

In Winterridger, the wind hit his face firmly, his long hair fluttering and behind him was a sturdy chest once holding him from falling. Two strong and huge arms flanked him, and their bodies sometimes rubbed against him. 

On the horse, Kiara and Noah riding the same horse are heading towards the place where the fairies are. Like what Noah promised. 

They stopped at the most of it, Noah helped Kiara to dismount and Kiara's eyes glowed to find out where the fairies promised by Noah had been before. 

"Come here, Kiara." 

Noah took Kiara's hand, and they walked in among the gigantic tree. 

"A week ago, I had already asked them for you to be able to come here. I can see them without their consent because of my special ability. On you, it must use their consent." Noah looked at the surroundings. The look in his eyes seemed to be staring at something. Kiara observes and suddenly around Kiara comes a sparkling flapping that deeply provokes Kiara's attention. 

His eyes stared with the shape of the moon. He really didn't expect that there would be so many fairies in the Winterridger territory. 

"T-this is so awesome! They are so beautiful and they are small!" 

Noah smiled at Kiara's remarks. He didn't know why Kiara said that last word.

 "Do you wish them a big one?" asked Noah to Kiara. He liked how Kiara looked up enthusiastically. 

"No, but I think there is a slight difference between the original fairy and what my place's humans describe about fairies. It's as if they've met a fairy before," Kiara said, and returned Noah's eyes. 

Noah looked at one of the female fairies, who looked like the leader there. He immediately changed and immediately made Kiara startled. His size is now As big as he is. 

"EEE!" Kiara was shocked by the miracle she saw at this time. This really shocked her and almost fell if her back hadn't been held back by Noah. 

"They can change, Kiara. Fairies are magical creatures." Obviously Noah, he kept looking at Kiara and the long-haired female elf with a snow-like color smiled at Kiara. 

"this region wants to ask us to show you our form. It seems that he found the right woman. We like you. If you become the Duchess, we don't mind it." The fairy who turned the size of a human being spoke as if she was a man's side parent. Noah looked the other way, making himself not too embarrassed to hear this.

 He tried to keep looking ordinary. 

"Ah? Thank you for the flattery, but getting married is not because of someone else's wishes. I will marry the man I love." 

The elf smiled. He looked in Noah's direction. 

"Even snow alone can melt and flowers can bloom. The love you said could have appeared in even a few seconds." The fairy's remarks made Kiara so surprised, her mouth opened slightly and in the end she just smiled in response to the beautiful fairy in front of her, who slowly changed again to her normal size. 

"You're right, fairy. If it happened in a fun way, it would be pretty awesome," Kiara gave a smile in response.
