Royal Castle of GumCrafters

James start heading toward to the council room right after he finished his breakfast dishes for another imperial meeting this morning, he just stood a few inches from the council room door and leaning againts the corridor wall outside the council room, waiting the arrival of his councilmen, he always reach at the councilroom shortly. He spot one of his councilmen Sir Nicholas Walcott Ralpher Ferguson St North, he were the elder councilman among the others, Sir Nicholas Walcott have long white beard and long white haired like a santa Claus. Lord Nicholas Walcott greet him with bow but James shortly stop what he's doing by holding his shoulder, Sir Nicholas Walcott were speechless, James clear his throat

"i told you there's no formality between us nor do between me and others living creatures, we all human are equal Sir Nicholas" James withdraw his hand away

Sir Walcott just nodded, "I'll believe the others will arrive shortly James, the council meeting will begin sooner or later" Sir Nicholas Walcott said to James while entering the councilroom and heading toward his seat which places next to James.

The Councils meeting start after all of the councilmen and all of the Tribes leader arrive shortly and start heading toward their own seat and sit properly with manners. The topic was just the usual, all of the councilman discuss about problem lack of the empire currency, since the empire is dealing with bankruptcy that committed by the old irresponsible ruler, these are the only topic they're talking about since James crown as King of the Empire.

James suggest to make trade relationship with the Kingdom of England and Sweden since they are nearby, they do have a trade partner which is Johor Sultanate but they can't make trade relationship with them they're too far, their located at malay peninsula meanwhile the empire located at Scandinavia peninsula which took a years or a month to reach to the Scandinavia peninsula for the malay sailor, plus the sea storm of course, the sea storm causes alot of death for the sailor from Malays peninsula lives.

All of them agreed to make a trade relationship with Kingdom of England and Kingdom of Sweden. The empire need to provide these two Kingdom something to ensure their tradement agreement gone well, they might need to choose a wise word to prevent another misunderstanding between both side to make this trade agreements and relationship gone smooth for the sake people's of Vipers Empire lives.

"but what item shall we trade for these two Kingdom?" One of the Councilmen asked James and the question struck his mind, he just remain silent and all of them waiting for his answer.

"maybe we should trade with our ice! we shall provide them ice for the trade relationship" Lord Ivor Radclife Westernguard of Dygerian Suggest.

"but where do we get the ice resource? We will need to wait eleven month until the fjord frozen solid when winter came of course" another voice from the tribe leader asked Lord Ivor Radclife,

"the north mountain i believe, that places contain an ice that never melt or thaw" Ivor states

all of them were shocked and gasped, "The No-No-North Mountain?" one of their councilmen stutters when they heard the name The North Mountain, all of them fear upon the snow queen and the winter Guardian who lived at the North Mountain, all of them heard about the tales about the north mountain. The north mountain the only mountain which oftenly struck by heavily snow and cannot be thawed unless the queen want it to be thaw, the mountain located at Northeast region of Gumcrafters region, heavily snow storm oftenly happen there and most of the people believe it is caused by the snow queen because she want none to step their feet into her mountain. All of them including James still gasped.

"ARE YOU MAD???? DO YOU WANT TO FACE THE WRATH OF THE SNOW QUEEN?" another scared and anger voice filed in the council room

"The Snow Queen could Freeze us to death! WE COULD PROBABLY DEATH! ALMIGHTY GOD!! WE CAN'T TRAVEL TO HER REGION!" another roar again. The council room from peaceful form turn to chaos, all was alright and fine until Ivor Radclife ruin it by mention the North Mountain place names..

all of their voice kept strucking James Mind, all of the angrier, frightening voice from the councilmen kept chanted in his mind and keep interrupt him until Lord Radclife stood up from his seat, he started to fed up with the others recent attitude and action during the council meeting.

"ENOUGH!" Lord Radclife yell, all of them turn their attention at him, entire people inside the counciltoom silent like a mice, not even any single person dare to speak after Radclife burst out anger unexpected, he clench his fist and start to speak in firmly tone.

"IF NONE OF YOU DARE TO GO AT THE NORTH MOUNTAIN THEN I VOLUNTEER MYSELF TO TRAVEL THERE ALONE! ALL OF YOU CAN STAY HERE LIKE A FU-"

"Thats enough Ivor" James Cut him before he continued his word, "it is inappropriate for a Lord to swear during the council meeting, please choose your word wisely, use a proper word during this meeting. A members of this council should have a high manners, Lord Ivor Radclifes WesternGuard of Dygerian" James said calmly tune as nothing really happen during the meeting

All of them kept silence including Ivor too, all of them were ashamed to speak because their recent manners and action during the council meeting.

"perhaps" James break the silent which filled in the councilroom,

"I can travel to the North Mountain alone tommorow midnight and speak with the Ice Queen Alone instead, meanwhile all of you can stay here, I believe she's scared when many people overshadow her mountain so its for the best if it just me to go to the mountain all by myself.Alone,I'll make the conversations and deal with the Snow Queen in proper manners and the councils is dismissed and thats final, I'll be going to the north mountain, alone" James end his sentences and took a deep breatgq0pp]

James the one who dissmissed early along side with Sir Nicholas from the councilrooms, he followed of them walk toward the King chamber to meet young agnarr.

"James, perharps i can accompany you during travel to the north mountain?" Nicholas Walcott ask him while walking beside him,

James just smiled at his intention, "you are too old for this kind of task" james said which make Nicholas chuckle "Don't judge the book by its cover James no?" Nicholas add which make James sigh "i don't want you to carry this burden, let it be my job for my people sake, if anything happen to me i want you to pass the throne and take care of Agnarr for me and guide him as a King of Gumcrafters"

"nonsense your majesty! You will see your son as a King of Gumcrafters! I can feel it... In my belly!" James laugh at his responses.

"thanks man in the moon you sent the best advisor and councilman i ever had and he also look like a santa claus, thank you for sending sir Nicholas to my kingdom" James said in joke tone. Nicholas Walcott just laugh at his joke until both of them went to silent again when their reach James Chamber.

"Elise might be hate if you didnt reveal the truth to public james, sooner or later people will find out. Its the matters of time my boy" Nicholas said to James while placing his big hand into James small shoulder, James just sigh in defeat

"You don't have to remind me that Nick, i always wanted to do that, well at least im going to do that right now after the meeting end shortly" James said in defeat tune.

"The citizen won't mind about having child with a peasant James, they just will get a little bit mad when their heard the King kept his son Locked and didn't let his son go outside for once, don't let your son suffered behind the door James, don't conceal your son" Nicholas advise him and withdraw his grip from James shoulder

"Thanks for the advice Nicholas, well i guess i need to spend with him for the last time before somethin bad happen to me i guess,i rarely spend my time with him, i hope he forgive for locking him up and conceal him" James scratch his head.

"every children forgive their father James, as i said this earlier its only matter of time to heal a wounded heart if the father done something wrong. I should leave right now by the way, i will back to my hometown which located at Russia Empire my friend, it is good to have you as my accompany james! Come here!" Nicholas and give James a bone crushing hug but James didn't mind about that. "khoroshego dnya" North said while gave him a bone Crushing hug.

Two days ago

Its just the usual day's for James, he attend the Empire council meeting as usual, right after the council's meeting end he just run his daily life routine, it's been two day's since Sir Nicholas Walcott Ferguson St North leave to the Russian Empire, James has provide a transport for him for the journey to russia, he's glad that Nicholas safety arrived at Russia,

James just walk around the castle, he have handle a lot of problem that involves the empire, he is indeed a completely mess because of recent work that he'll need to do,

he has carried many burden these lately, his life is completely mess after he crowned as a King, people claim his as the new hope of the empire, he can felt whole people is rely on him which is one of the reason he mostly sacrifices his time wastes on working instead of spending with Agnarr, he heading towards his throne and seated at it, he thought for a moment and rested his temple.

Elise might be hate you if you didn't reveal the truth James heard Nicholas voice echoes in his mind,

he sighed, he know Nicholas is right about it, the townsfolk sooner or later will discover his secret, he decide to tell them today, he believe the townsfolk deserve to know about it,

"Gathers all people at the courtyard" Ordered James to the Guard who stand beside his throne, "Yes your majesty" The Guard's nodded, sent him a small bow and took his leave.

James started to walk heading to the courtyard, he know he need to do it right now, he need to tell his people about his secret marriage, wife and son, he know its no use hiding behind the wall, what Nicholas said is true, people discover sooner or later. James will need a lot of courage to tell his people about his secret.

He already ordered the Royal imperial Guard to gather everyone at the castle courtryard, all of the people is clueless why all of them gathered around at the castle countryard unexpectedly 'No turning back right now james' he thought, James can felt all eyes eyeing him, The townsfolk stared at him giving their all attention towards James, he can't denied he is nervous when all of the townsfolk look at him, he took a deep breath.

"people of Gumcrafters, as you see i have news to tell you, as you see i remain single and reject any marriage request offers from others foreigns Kingdom,i know all of you feel suspicious upon me for making such an action,i will answer your all question today" all of them eager awaiting for his answer...

"Im already married" James said without hesitation. Married? The word can be heard among the crowd, "Impossible, who's the New queen right now?" another question for James to asnwer from the GumCrafters peoples,

"im married with Elise, my love of my life... Who died 6 years ago after giving birth to my son, we name him Prince Agnarr, i know its inappropriate to marry a peasant and conceal them all from you but i think today you all deserve the truth"

All of the crowd remain silent, none let out any sound after their King tell them all an unexpected news, all of them shocked after heard the recent from their King, James continues

"Im sorry i let you all people down by marrying a peasant, i know most of you all will said its a stupid decision but i do it because i felt its right to married someone that you love, i hope you all doest get mad at me for making a irresponsible decision" James finished his word with a sighed,

"We don't Care about your personal decision about marriage Your Grace!" one of the woman among the people shouted,

"as long as you happy we're happy, we just wanted our King to put a smile face everyday!" Another woman shout from the crowded,

James didn't expect these anwers from the townsfolks, he's glad his people respect and accept his decision and still honouring him as King,

"i thank you all for still accepting me and honouring me as a king even though i hide something important from you all, i thank you all of you" James end his speech and he got earn alot of applause from the Gumcrafters Crowded.

Midday

James were walking at the balcony heading toward his room to meet his little boy, his son Prince Agnarr. He wanted to see Agnarr, he reach his room and he eavesdrop against the door, its become his habbit in eavesdropping his room before he enter it wanted to make sure everything is alright inside his room, he heard his son joyful laugh filled inside his room, i guess he's playing sword fight right now James thought,

he took a deep breath before he reach the door knob, he start open the door quietly and steal a glance into the room, there's no one, no sight of his son, he went paled for a moment when he realize that's none inside the room, he is frightened, his eye's went wide open and filled with fears, he is completely shock when he see his room is empty, he heard Agnarr laugh about a second ago from outside and now he just dissappear like a ghost, he started look around his chamber searching for his son,

Damn it where are you Agnarr?!! James thought

he look around his room and called his six years old son name several time, he kept looking and searching his son until he heard a small giggled and felt tiny hand wraps around his feet, it was Agnarr his beloved son himself

"Papa! Papa caught me! Papa come play with me!" Agnar giggle and James sigh in relief, he crouch down same level as his son.

James started hug his son and buried his face into his son strawberry blond hair, "you've got me worried you know? You almost gave me heart attack" James said againts his son hair.Agnarr just giggle in response upon James action.

"papa don't do that! its very ticklish!!" Agnarr said while laughing, James loosened his grip from his son, Agnarr pull away from him embrace and run heading outside the room

"Catch me if you can papa!"Trail of Agnarr Voice can be heard outside his room. Agnarr just running around the castle corridor, James went to chase after him,

"You bet i catch you soon as possible!" James said to his giggle son, he manage to lift Agnarr up,

"you catch me! Papa Catch me!" Agnarr said while giggling because James were tickling until Agnarr said in defeat while laughing.

"papa i always wait you to play with me!" Agnarr said while laughing. The word really hit James hard. im sorry Kiddo, i was a fool when conceal you and abonded you over my royal duty, James lose in his thought again..

Agnarr was concerned about his father when he sees a tear came down flush into his father cheek his joyful fade away and he begin touch his father cheek, James were out of his thought when he felt a soft touch his cheeks, "Papa why are you crying, are you sad?" little Agnarr asked his father, James were out of word to response toward his son.

James place his hand at Agnarr cheeks

"i promise i will play with you the entire day," James make a pinky promise with Agnarr who just giggled and happy when he got time to spend with his father.

"YAY! Papa play with me!" James PiggyBack ride Agnarr, he's rarely spend his time with his son... Probably for the last time for him... Last thing he wanted see is the joyful face that came from his son and last thing he wanted to do before he face the snow queen is he spend his time with Agnarr, his Agnarr.

Midnight

Agnarr were in James arm and he's was read Agnarr a bed time story, he read about Agnarr favourite story, the story about Father Frost or well known as Jack Frost who have able toentertain children with his Ice Power's, many. Agnarr fall asleep as soon as the story end, James left a kiss at his son forehead. He know he need to leave this midnight to meet the snow queen, he start to step out into the exit door, he gaze at his son for the last time, his son were smilling during his sleep He have his mother smile James thought. He close the door quietly to prevent waking Agnarr up.

It is time for James to meet the snow queen up there at the North Mountain,

James now at the Gumcrafters Stable right now. He'll need to prepared his horse to start his journey to the north Mountain to face the wrath of the Snow Queen, before he can choose his horse,

suddenly he felt a cold touch his shoulder, he turn around to see behind him, he sees a white haired boy, his age about around 14-16, he dressed in garments of blue sweatshirt with snow pattern, he have a striking blue eyes and pale skin like a death person which doest have red blood flowing around his nerve system, he also carried a wooden staff along side with him,

"James Kim of Gumcrafters, Sir North sent me, you probably know him as Sir Nicholas Walcott Ferguson St North" and then the boy offered James a handshake

"Jackson Overland frost at your service" said the white haired boy

James were dumbfounded when the boy offer him a handshake, he glanced at the boy for a while until he accept the boy handshake, His hand are cold as ice James thought. He glance at Jack again with strange face's, he hold his cold hand and withdraw his hand from his touch, he shivers a little from the recent touch and manage to recover it,

"your hand, Its cold as ice" James said shivered a little,

"North didn't tell you about me?" Jack asked

James shook his head "no he didn't tell me at all about you, is there something that i need to know?" James asked dumbfounded

Jack sigh in disbelief, "i am Jack Frost, the Guardian of fun, you may know me as father frost" Jack said introducing himself

James can't believe it, he can't believe he's real, James thought he is only mythic but he was wrong, he thought for a moment

"James Kim, nice to meet you jackson frost. so a winter guardian, hand is cold as ice, and do you have-" Jack cut James word off by summon a snowflake from his hand

"Ice power? Yes, Obviously" Jack smirked at James dumbfounded expression.

"are you going to accompany me travel to the North Mountain in meet the Snow Queen Boy?" James asked.

James gaze at him disbelieve, of course he's age about 16-18 and he willingly to accompany him travel to the North Mountain,

"Okay, soooo im about to ride my horse and begin my journey" James start to mount his horse but Jack stop him instantly,

"it will take us long journey to the mountain if we ride by horse" Jack state which make James dismount from his horse.

"You have a better plan Jack?" James asked him

"Sure how about i fly you off to the north mountain?" Jack suggest

"fl-fl-fly??" his word were stutter, did he heard it correctly? He can fly???? the word fly keep echoes in his mind,

"Yeah Fly! This staff help me to fly of course!" Jack point shown his staff at James, he is indeed clueless for a moment, how could a stick help him fly above the sky? James still dumfounded about his suggestion,

"Maybe we'll get there shortly!" Jack started to floating around and flying around at the stable which make James more clueless and have no idea at all when he withness the scene So he can fly... God maybe im going crazy, James thought.

"about the SnowStorm, don't you think its impossible for you to fly us up there?" Jack stop floating around and start stand still at the floor Are you kidding me? wind is my friend! Jack thought.

"Don't worry i wont let you fall to the ground your highness" Jack gave him a mocking bow.

"i didn't know winter spirit is a bit childish and inmmature" James counters his mock

"Hey!" Jack offended, he form a snowball in his hand from a thin air and throw it right at James face. The Snowball hit directly at James head which make James face covered with snow

"Ouch!"Jack chuckle when he heard James Squeak,Wait did he just summon a snowball from a thin air!?? James thought, he wiped out the snow from his face

"it is not nice to throw object at people you know?" James said to the winter Spirit and glance at him a glared, Jack sent him devilish smile.

"Jack i believe we're late to attend our appointment with the snow queen" James said after he finished clean his face's,

"Snow Queen doest mind about that, she's just freezes a living creature who step into her mountain,to be honest" Jack laugh when he finish his sentences. James rolled his eye's,

"come on lets go meet that crazy Snow queen Your Graces" Jack carry James, he grabbed him by his shoulder and started float higher and fly heading toward the North Moutain direction,both of them manage to see the town from above.

"Hang on! We're about to go fast!" Jack begin fly toward their destination with high speed through the wind.

Midnight

Around The Wood

"So James, what is your purpose to travel at The North Mountain?" Jack ask

"well, my empire need a parthner in trade relationship but we'll need something to provide for it, so we decide to provide ice to exchange thing with other foreigns country" James said

"so your purpose to travel to North Mountain is because of trade agreements... i see..." Jack said,

"why would their sent their King to face the wrath of snow queen? I've never knew a Kingdom can send his King to a dangerous mission" Jack ask disbelief.

"it wasn't the kingdom who sent me to meet the Snow Queen Jack" James said

"Then?" Jack asked dumbfounded

"it was actually me who willingly to meet the snow queen for the sake of my people, i just need her permission to take ice from her region to provide for the trade relation with foreign Country'" James said.

"You know the snow queen doest like living creature step into her mountain? Why do you take the risk?" Jack ask again.

"I know about that Jack, as i said its for the sake of my people, I consider this as my duty for the sake of my people, if i don't take the risk to met her then our Kingdom will fall due to bankruptcy if the trade agreements didn't work and stay isolated and there's a high possibility people will revolth, i blame the previous ruler for commited corruption upon the empire which will cause us fall to bankruptcy" James said

"okay. Thats explain a lot thank you,oh hey! We're finally arrive at the north mountain!" suddenly Jack just silence for a while, he can't believe what he just see,

"what is it Jack? Why you quiet suddenly?" James look at view of the top of the North Mountain. There's a castle made by ice, solid ice, glittering ice castle, they also can see a long stair passage made of ice lead them into the Palace entrance.

"oh yeah i forgot to tell you about that, the Queen have its own Ice Palace Jack, the palace also heavily guard by The Snow Monster or well known as guardian of the North Mountain" James explain.

"Land there jack" James point his finger point at the valley.

The North Mountain

"so james, any idea to speak with the Snow Queen?" Jack asked James, both of them hiding behind a large rock opposite of the Ice Palace

"I do,i want you to stay here while i do the talking, she dont like other company instead of me" James explains.

"and why is that?" this time jack were curious, he feel odd upon the guy next to him

"she once rescue me from wolves when the King ordered me to gathered wood for the villagers about 27 years ago" James said

"wait how old are you actually, you never told me about your age and you already knew my age so it is fair when both of us known eachother age no?" Jack said while cross his arm

James sigh in defeat "im actually 48, i crowned as king when i reach 42, the same age when i married with my wife which named Elise Jack"

"and how do you manage to avoid the wrath of the Snow Queen?" Jack asked curiosly

"well After she rescue me, well she's help me bandage my hand when she saw my hand skin is torn apart" James said whilr Jack just litsen,

"Do you want me to continue?" James asked, Jack Nodded towards his question.

James sighed, he took a deep breath,

"The Snow Queen ask me to stayed at her ice palace because of my wound from the wolf bite, she's a hot tempered person and bossy you know, you need to obey her order to avoid her wrath of ice" James said

Jack Gulped "im glad you're the one who need to face her" Jack said relieved

"well i stayed at her castle for a month, i manage to befriend with her, she is very cold person, eventhough she's a cold person like ice i manage to make her laugh and smile you know, our relationship started to grow intense, and we become closer until we shared our first Kiss" James sigh

"wow, so the snow queen is your lover in past?" Jack asked and James nodded.

"what happend to you?I mean why you married Elise instead of The Snow Queen?" Jack asked. The question make James silent for a moment, until Jack break the silence

"i mean, it's okay if you don't want to answer that, i ain't suppose to ask you that kind of question" Jack said

"No, no its okay, she's the one who want to broke the relationship with me, she said she doest want to marry a man from the empire because she feel ashamed if she did that, people will said she eat her own word if she marry me because she's vow until death not to married anyone that came from The Vipers Empire, so we decide to seperate each other instead being a lovebirds and that's why i married Elise instead of her which make The Snow Queen hate me and she doest want to see me after i marry Elise," Jack feel sympathy toward James.

"How do she look like" Jack Asked,

"she have a rosy lips, white blonde hair and white skin, she have a same eyes as you" James said describing the Snow Queen.

"well" James took a sit at the snow floor, James took a deep breath "As you see the snow queen today is hot temper and cruel person, a queen who have darkness inside her heart" Jack took a sit next to James.

"she's in old day does not behave like that you know" Jack again dumbfounded.

"What do you mean? Is she a nice person in Past?" Jack asked curiousity

James Nodded "She was nice, caring and lovely. She always play with children of the empire, all of people love her and so do King Ethan, she's change when her sister died"Jack eyes wide open stare at James.

"She have a sister?!" Jack gapsed and James Nodded, Jack close his mouth and ask "ho-how did her sister died" Jack manage to recover from stutter, James begin to continue his story

"the war break out, a great war between Johor Sultanate and Vipers Empire, her sister participate in the war twenty seven years ago during the reigns of King Ethan. Her sister were General of the Vipers Imperial army Jack" Jack still listening..

"The King ordered her sister to lead the Vipers imperial army and evacuate to Johor Sultanate for invansion but sadly her sister fleet were attacked and destroy by the Johor Sultanate army fleet, none survive the ambush, we couldn't even reclaim our soldier body including Alice body's too, so we consider them all dead" James said, Jack mouth were wide open. So thats explain why the snow queen become a hot tempered person. Jack thought.

"well after The Snow queen heard about unpleasant news she killed a lot of civilian of the empire by freeze their heart turn them to solid ice, she set winter around the empire town including Elmorean, The King beg her to thaw the Town, she said she will thaw the town with one condition, she ask the King to make sure his people didnt try to lay their feet at the North mountain because she's probably going to stay there, The Snow Queen freeze this mountain and set enternal winter at this mountain and she even build her own Palace at the top of the mountain" James jerk his finger point at the Ice palace.

"so why does she choose this mountain as her new home?" Jack asked while give a question face on James.

"The Snow Queen always spend time with her little sister here, she just want to remind herself a good old memory of her sister Jack" James said.

"i forgot to tell her name, her name is Alissa and her sister name is Alice, sorry im a absent minded to be honest" James laugh, his laugh join by Jack

"No offense my Friend" Jack said between laugh.

both of them get up from the snow floor

"Alright Jack, so you stay here like i said earlier, let me do the talking. Don't do anything if she's try to harm me or kill me Jack okay?" James said

"What?!" Jack exclaim, "heck no James, if something bad happen to you i never forgive myself, i make a promise to Agnarr and North to take care of you James" Jack said firmly

"So you've watching over me all these time" James asked. He couldn't believe, Jack always accompany him and his son before both of them known eachother.

"That's right James i have watch you all over the time since you crown as a King, Agnarr and me known eachother since he's four years old since you conceal him from the public. North has sent me to watch over Agnarr while you doing own royal duty" Jack word make James stunned.

"its too dangerous Jack, she can drain out your power and you could possible die so no and that's Final" James said firmly.

Jack sigh "James, please let me help you when you're in trouble, I don't want to see Agnarr cry in my chest, it pain me a lot to see him like that James" Jack plead over him

James sigh in defeat, "Fine, i let you fight alongside with me if anything goes wrong while im meeting Alissa, just promise me dont died okay" James said he nodded.

Jack withdraw his hand from his shoulder, he grinned at James, he was happy when James allowed him fight along side with him.

James approach the stairs that lead him to the ice palace entrance, meanwhile jack just watching James back from a distance James take a deep breath No turning back James, let's make this quick James thought, he walked heading toward the entrance, he took a deep breath and he knock 3 time against the entrance door and the Entrance door started to open.

James was completely frozen when he sees about five Ice Guards came out from the palace door entrance surround James point their ice sword at him, Jack started to raise his staff and about to blast them all with his ice but James mouth at him Dont do anything yet and Jack withdraw from his attack position and retreat to his guard position. Jack could see A dark blue dress woman came from entrance door. The woman walk toward James and sent James a devilish smile meanwhile James just gulped and a fear came across his face when he meet the woman gaze.

well i guess that must be Alissa, the snow queen, Jack thought while watching the scene from away distance.

"well,well,well, look who's join us for today gentlemen" Alissa glance at James "you're stil same like twenty seven years ago" she narrowing her eyes and her arm is crossed.

"well you aswell look same in twenty seven years ago" James said to her, she do look same when he meet her for the first time,

"that because i didn't grow age you imbecile,its been two decades and seven years you silly bastard, what do you want from me, go back to Elise you -"

Alissa didn't finish her word because James interrupted.

"Elise died 6 years ago after she gave birth to Agnarr my first born child" James word make Alissa Stunned for a moment

Alissa recover from her stunned "So its true, the rumours are true, i thought you've lie about that during the day you reveal your secret marriage to the public" Alissa asked.

"How did you know abo-" James cut by Alissa.

"I've have my eyes everywhere moron. I don't want to see you here, just get out of my sight" Alissa said and start walking toward the entrance door but suddenly her wrist violencely grab by James which force her to turn around
