All Chapters of How to Make the Ice Prince Fall: Chapter 201 - Chapter 210

For as long as a day, the party of three managed to escape the knights of Dragsa by riding along the river. Yet, the heavens were against them. On the second day, a whole mountain stood in their way, only leaving the hole the Dimgard had grinded through it. When they tried to bypass the broad massif, another party of knights blocked their way, then the pursuing party caught up as well. Uneasy, Katherine turned her horse, but the knights of Dragsa had them surrounded from all sides. It was like a Deja vu.Anxiously, her gaze swept to her husband, but Nathaniel's eyes seemed dark and gloomy. Even the regions around his eyes seemed almost black on his pale skin. Suddenly, she remembered that she did not see him sleep, neither in this night nor in the one before, where she herself had leaned against him under the giant tree. Had he held night watch? How exhausted was he now? With the questions, despair grew in her. After all, it was common knowledge that magic needed energy. Rememb

Noticing that Nathaniel was missing, Katherine shed all her anger instantly, and seriousness took its place. She knew very well that this powerful husband of hers was not unbeatable. Even though she only knew later that it was him, she'd nursed him for weeks. The patient was someone who could not move at all in her memory. He'd seemed almost fragile with those black veins all over his body. Overlapping this image with the Nathaniel she knew was hard at first, but it made more sense when she saw his magic firsthand. Every power had its price. And his was just too powerful.He'd used this power just recently, so it would be no wonder if the repercussions overwhelmed him. Besides, she reminded herself a little late, none of the walls were inherently friendly places. Not the one they passed, and not the one they were in now. If he was ambushed somehow, he would be wounded like any other person."We should just return to the Icelands", Lady Brandon complained, but Katherine was

When the two parties clashed, Hazel was frightened to the bone. Tightly, she clutched Dorian's waist and buried her face in the leather armor in front of her. Despite her Lady's nagging, she'd refused to ride by herself after only a bunch of riding lessons.Yet, however deep she buried herself, she couldn't ignore the shouts, the neighing of the horses, or the sounds of blades. For the latter, there were two different ones: those hitting metal tingled in the ears but those quieter ones slashing flesh made her nauseous.The horse beneath her moved. Every time Dorian's sword arm cut through the air, she whimpered and clutched his waist tighter, despite the friction roughening her skin.The horse jumped forward. She shrieked. Then, another clash of swords. A splashing sound and something fell on her hair and hands. Dirt? Sweat?Suddenly, the horse reared up in fright and she fell backward. Unlike the last times, Dorian's body didn't hold her. She opened her eyes wid

"... and Lady Brandon will remain with you." Stating his last condition, Nathaniel glanced at Lady Brandon to make sure the woman was okay with it. He got a nod in return, followed by an eye-roll. The latter of which was from his wife. "It will be more complicated to free two than one. But fine. As long as you take good care of yourself, you hear me?", Katherine said with a stern gaze that softened when her husband brushed her cheek with a crooked finger. "I promise." They'd held a 'secret' meeting on how to proceed with the plan, one in which Lady Brandon also participated. After all, she was in this mess because of them. The Lady had questions and comments on a few points but was overall more of a passive viewer. Despite her presence, what was about to happen wasn't her fight. When everything was discussed, she winked at Katherine. "Now I will stall the curious cats, so you can have some time to yourselves for your goodbyes. But don't take too long."

In the several days that followed, Katherine laid low. The most she did were walks through the courtyards whenever she couldn't stand her dark and cramped room anymore. To Lady Brandon, she disclosed that the courtyards were hardly any better. What she wanted was a real garden. Something green in all this grey and black. After a few days, she almost anticipated the time when the entourage would arrive. At least it would bring them out of this prison of stone and iron.Then, the entourage reached the wall. Yet it was different from what Katherine expected."Lady Balder", the soldier announcing the arrival said as soon as Katherine opened the door, "Your cousin has arrived."Katherine's heart jumped in her chest, her face instantly draining of blood. "Cou-cousin?!"She never expected the Duke of Sleipnir to personally come all the way to fetch her. Before the soldier could repeat his words, Lady Brandon pulled Katherine back and banged the door shut in his face."Calm down", she sh
