How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Good Evening
Katherine awoke to the regular thumping of a heartbeat. Leaving her eyes closed, she tried to grasp the dream she'd just had, not willing to let it go. In the dream Nathaniel had finally opened up to her. They were together in bed, doing things that made her hot with desire, begging and commanding him to take her already - not that he did, in the end. Yet it was still wonderful. He even stayed with her for the night.She felt something tug on her hair. It was a soft tug. Maybe Froseti had hopped onto her bed again, sniffing on her to see if she was edible. Though she loved the rabbit, she should really be stricter with him.But then she remembered that Froseti had again been left behind - this time in the palace. She knotted her brows. What was that on her hair then? And while she was at it, why was the mattress slowly moving like the sea below her?Her lids sprang open. Nathaniel. It was no dream. He was still with her. To be exact, she had buried him beneath her, co
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Behind the Curtain
The town was bigger than the one near the border, almost a small city. With the help of Sam's magic, Nathaniel was disguised as a brown-haired, blue-eyed stranger that was still as handsome as his actual appearance, but way less menacing.Looking up at him, Katherine grinned. Independently, she herself had decided for the same colors and now they looked somewhat like siblings roaming the streets, with Sam as the old guardian watching over them. Well, that was only at first glance. Until one noticed the possessive glint in Nathaniel's eyes whenever he looked at her, and the way their fingers were inter-laced. Despite the bustling street, her husband didn't let go for a moment and she was more than elated about it."If it wasn't for the danger, I would pull you in an empty street and teach you not to wear such clothes in public", he now grumbled near her ear, making her stomach flutter.Cheekily, she gave him contra. "You already tried that at home. Besides, it's easier
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall The Glowing Lady
Katherine acquired two travel gowns, a new nightgown, shoes, stockings, a hat, a dress for more fancy events, and a beautiful pair of earrings. Though it would be more correct to say that Nathaniel acquired the earrings, as he suddenly appeared with them in hand after vanishing from the clothing store. Brushing her hair to the side, he gently put them on her, then stole a kiss from her when Jasmin was just looking through some other clothes.Catching his hair before he broke them apart, Katherine deepened the kiss and let magic glimmer on her skin. Their tongues entangled and the desire returned mightily to their bodies, almost swamping them. Lips crashed against lips; the moans stifled to catch no attention. Nathaniel's arm coiled around her waist, pulling her even closer.When they finally parted, both panting and dissatisfied, Katherine tenderly rubbed her nose against his. "Darling, lets make the last test in the evening. I don't want to wait anymore and if we set out
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall A Bet
Nathaniel was right. Katherine did protest, and strongly so. With only the mention of a postponement of the test - and with it, their possible intimacy - she hissed and glared at him, telling him how she knew best if she was fine or not."Well obviously, you don't", he rebuked, not giving in an inch. "If you did, I wouldn't have to carry you back here. If you did, you might have stopped healing that man before you got so exhausted you couldn't stand. It is either you not knowing your own limits or you willingly taking the risk despite the danger for yourself. Which do you want it to be? Or is it both?"Unwillingly, Katherine gritted her teeth. She knew that both answers would lead Nathaniel to the same conclusion, namely letting them wait again. It was so frustrating that she barely stopped herself from screaming out loud. For a second, she thought about just pushing him on the small bed in the corner of him chamber and making him feel her frustration on his skin. Already
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall The Weasel Escaped
Their lips barely touched when Katherine pulled back again. Though she wanted to kiss, she wanted to win even more, and that meant that she had to play it slow, to tempt him. Her love-advisor Annie had told her once that tempting was done by not relieving the frustration. Brushing her lips against his, she looked deeply into his eyes, and saw Nathaniel's confusion. He must be thinking why I don't use the opportunity, she mused, and a grin tugged on the corners of her mouth. The glimmer of her magic was faint on her hands and face when she lifted them again. Another soft kiss and her fingers fluttered over his arms to his shoulders, resting lightly on his collar. The ticking of the watch spurred her on and let her tremble with anxiety simultaneously. Just a little more teasing, then she would give him more. She couldn't mess this up. Her nails ran over the bare skin of his neck and up into his hair, earning her a low groan, before he bent down to get more of her. This time, his lips
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Trust
The stone house looked like it was swept by black flames when the darkness went here and there to erase even the slightest proof that there had been people living inside. Around the house stood the soldiers, servants, and inhabitants - all with more than a reasonable distance to this power of destruction. Only two people dared to stand right next to the house, one with white and one with long black hair. Nathaniel's hand was on the threshold of stone, his gaze serious and concentrated as he guided the small whisps of darkness into the house and back. He dared not envelop the full house at once to keep the darkness from growing too big and uncontrollable. Katherine beside him shone with a faint white light. In the upcoming night, it seemed warm, but not as bright as usual. The golden halo of the sun slowly settled in the valley between two mountain peaks, giving the blossoms sprinkling the meadow a golden shimmer.In the silence of awe and fear, Katherine lightly rested her hand
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Tears
"Did it... work?" Although she'd felt it in her magic, she had to hear it from him, hear that he finally believed in her. That he dared to dream of a future.His answer was a cryptic one, the tone muffled. "You will know when you open your eyes."So she did. She opened her eyes to see... the darkness of the night. No, that was even darker than any night could get, like a black curtain or fire wavering around her shining self. It started from her chest area and grew upwards, almost solid in its impenetrability, but moving and alive at the same time. Then she saw that the origin of it all were Nathaniel's arms, strongly coiled around her. His dark magic rose in big waves from them, and, liquid-like, formed a dome of pure darkness above their heads, only to fall again into Nathaniel's head and shoulders.Almost reverently, Katherine raised her hands, which she couldn't even see, and pulled them closer to her face. Soon, the black flames parted in front of her to let the
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Departure
Outside the lovely-dovely bubble, a crowd of worried people had gathered. They'd carefully crept closer when they noticed something amiss. Despite Aston telling them to leave the couple alone, there were some soldiers whose worry about Katherine was just too extreme. The leader of them all was, of course, Jack. Above his dark brown eyes, his brows were furrowed deeply as he scrutinized the dome, one hand already on the hilt of his sword. Dorian and some others who helped Katherine train were hardly better. None of them had ever seen the power of their prince and commander in action before, but watching it flicker hungrily like a black, unholy fire towards anyone that approached it, it didn't take a saint to know this thing wasn't natural. It was something evil, best exorcised by a priest, and not let run free. "Should we try to break it?", Dorian asked his Captain worriedly, but was instantly berated by Aston. "Don't you dare try! They are testing something of ut

Five years later"Your Holiness - Uh, ah, Majesty, I mean!"Leaning on the newly-built rails atop the dome of the palace, with the view of the Capital in the background, Katherine scolded lightly: "Shht, Hazel, she just fell asleep."In her arms rested a baby, maybe a few months old, with a tuft of black hair and fair white skin. If she opened her lids, angelic blue eyes would blink up innocently at the viewer.Hazel's head appeared at the end of the staircase leading to the roof. Apologetically, she bit her lip and whispered. "I'm sorry, your Majesty. A letter arrived from Dragsa, and Prince Patrick hurt his knee while playing. He's on his way here.""Dragsa...," Katherine muttered and stretched out a hand to take it. "I wonder what they want. They were very quiet in the latter years."Lowering her head, she took a glance at the paper. Instantly, her brows furrowed, later followed by a deep sigh. "I almost expected it. What a shame."Her gaze wandered to the west, in the direction of
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Glass and Obsidian
For once, the third wall belonging to the palace let nobles and commoners alike pass. They flooded in in masses and coagulated on the streets and the grass field before the dome. Everywhere, where they could hope to catch a little glimpse of what was about to happen in the throne hall.In front of the dome, Nathaniel dismounted and reached his hand out to Katherine to help her off as well. For a second, Katherine remembered how Pete helped her when she mounted Bell for the first time, and her smile grew shaky. Pete and Jack. One retired after suffering grievous wounds, and the other fell in battle when the undead attacked the palace to free the Queen, Emilian, and Helmina.The burial was in the time of Katherine's long travel back but she and Nathaniel visited the grave two days ago. Still, she could not believe that her funny, one-eyed companion was truly gone. It was delusional but she could not shake the thought that if only she'd been at the Capital, her power might have saved him
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Parade
Weeks later, the couple reached the Capital and was welcomed with much tom-tom. Aston, it seemed, was back on his feet. The new scar parting his right brow even suggested that his exaggerated description of a battle with the best undead swordsman in history might be more than just bragging. Infuriatingly, however, the scar made him even more handsome, and he confidently put it on display at any opportunity he got. Especially in front of the ladies.Shortly after their return, King William officially announced his retirement in favor of his nephew. Though the commoners were confused at Nathaniel's sudden emergence, the prepared aristocrats soon placated them, and the rumors of his activities as the illusive sixth General did the rest.Katherine was surprised to hear that word of her ability had elevated her picture in the icelandic society to somewhat of a saintess. King William obviously prepared on this end as well, and thus nobody dared suggest that a dragsean noble was unfit to be
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Traveling Home
The ship of the king of the Glaciar Coast was a gigantic vessel with a kind of lofty wretchedness to it. In fact, Katherine thought that the silver ornaments on the dark wood looked like bones, and if the sail had been a bit more tattered, the "Charon" would've been the perfect ghost ship. When she mentioned it to Lady Brandon in jest, the sister of said king laughed out loud."Oh, he'd love to hear that! If his crew wasn't ridiculously superstitious, I bet he'd search the whole ocean floor for a sunken vessel to serve him!""Is that so?" Katherine lifted her brows, perplexed. "Isn't it already enough that it can fly?"Granted, the hovering of the gigantic vessel wasn't completely 'flight' as the ship was only lifted by the water the Glaciar Coast's mages manipulated with much afford. It could also only be implemented for short periods close to a water source. For the unsuspecting viewer, however, it looked exactly as if the ship was flying.It was this practical fea
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Reunion
Katherine woke up feeling fresh and well-rested. The plush cushions under her head were like soft clouds, and the blanket bore just the right amount of heat. The air smelled of salt and herbs, an unusual but welcoming combination."Hmmm." With a blissful sigh, Katherine stretched. She didn't feel so good since they resided in the hut in the Icelands with King William, his mistress, and son. Did she only dream of that long, arduous journey to a mountain in Dragsa?"You're awake." Her eyes snapped open when she heard that voice. It was undoubtedly the deep timbre of her husband, Nathaniel. And there he was, sitting next to the bed in a cushioned chair, a gentle gaze in his eyes.Eyes that rested strangely deep in his pale face. A face that was bare of the slight smile that sometimes tugged on the corners of his mouth when he looked at her. Instead, he seemed solemn, exhausted, plagued by a deeply hidden sadness that he maybe wanted to hide. Yet to her eyes, his feelings were an open
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Dark Thoughts and a Cold Heart
Deep satisfaction brought some power to Katherine's exhausted body, yet she did not like the feeling at all. The guilt over hitting an innocent civilian clouded her mind, together with the question if it was the right thing to do. Trapping Ethan in the other dimension was too easy. It didn't feel right.Days and nights she'd dreamed of how to take her revenge, how she would torture him and finally look into his eyes when he died. Now, she'd acted impulsively, and the results were anything but what she imagined. Yet, should she have let the chance slip by?When she'd heard him giving orders, she'd finally stopped in her path because she felt like a coward who ran from the only real battle she'd sworn herself to fight. At first, she only wanted to observe and hid where the canyon's wall stood out a bit, just in earshot of Ethan. But the opportunity was too good. She didn't know how her smart and cunning cousin could act so dumb. It didn't match his usual approach, yet maybe
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Sandcastle
It was Ethan. He stood just outside the rift, his usual harmless smile on his face, and the hands hidden in the pockets of his dark trousers. "Kitty. Fancy meeting you here."If Katherine had been raised in any lower class than aristocracy, she would've spit in front of his feet. Even so, her face soured as if she'd bitten into a raw lemon. "I don't... fancy it at all."Stepping aside to give the rest of the dark stream free access to the rift, she noticed that Ethan'd brought two helpers who lingered in the back nervously. The white lab coats outed them as researchers. She glanced them up and down and decided not to ask where Ve was. After all that happened today and with her magic nearly depleted, she wanted nothing more than walk away from this whole mess.So, she did just that. Turned around and walked along the canyon that was now almost free of the dark substance.After a second of surprise, Ethan called after her: "Hey, don't you want to know what I'll do with this? Aren't
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall Entering the Rift
Meanwhile, the Duke of Sleipnir got comfortable on the edge of the cave. Shortly after he'd disposed of the corpses by sending them into the rolling dark river below, some of Loki's staff came over. They were shocked to see only one person left in the cave. "Um, your Excellency, where... where is the leader?""Hm?" Ethan turned and blinked. "Oh... he... how should I put this? He was too enthusiasistic when he saw his experiment finally succeed. Look, the brilliant result of all his hard work is below this cliff. He didn't want to wait anymore and took everyone to follow him down. Which might have been the wrong decision, so to say."The staff carefully crept closer to the cliff, and when he saw the darkness below, though it was more a creek than a mighty river now, his eyes widened. "Do you mean to say the leader is...?""Dead." Ethan nodded unemphathetically. "Most likely."Unexpectedly swiftly, the staff got over his shock. For a moment, he pondered, then asked: "But the experiment
How to Make the Ice Prince Fall In the Moonlight
"Ahhh! It hurts! It hurts! You're tearing me apart!" Nathaniel felt the unusual urge to roll his eyes. He never knew that his magic was such a sissy. First, it asked for his help, and now it screamed like a pig on the slaughter bench because of a little pain. And why could it even feel pain? Its body was nothing but insidious black smoke that appeared like a black liquid in its compressed form. There were no tendons, no bones, no flesh, and no nerves - in short, nothing that could hurt. "Shall I stop pulling then?", Nathaniel asked sarcastically in his mind. Well, if that magic of his wanted to go by itself, all the better for him. "No, no, no! Please don't let go! Don't let goo-oo-ouuuuuuch!" It felt like mentally pulling on an elastic band, Nathaniel decided. Somewhere where he couldn't see, something else was pulling the other end, turning the band longer and longer. It got harder for him to hold on with each passing second. Then, with a last loud howl fr
