Winter solemn brought in, as she walked closer to the terrified man with none to block.

For all guards were pushed back by the icicles dominating the room, each human being frozen in fear and frost.

"Sylvia bless me strength–" Arthur whispered to himself.

For he cannot bear watching his sister spill blood for his sake.

Alden, my sweet daughter... Why has the world burden you of such powers?

When she stepped closer and closer to the petrified mage who could not even cast a single spell with limbs bleeding and trapped, we all tensed and covered the eyes and ears of the children aside from Arthur. Arthur, who refused to remove his eyes away from his younger sister.

"H-Help! P-please, My King, help!"

The mage cried out in vain, but alas were we who stricken of fear at the sight of her frostbitten eyes gleam with bloodshed.

We could not do anything but watch and hear her, spoken words powered by her emotion and the Aurean.

"Tell me, bastard. Do you now know your place? A vermin like you cannot even lick the dust I walk in."

"Y-you monstrous child! How dare–"

Flurries of ice came winding down as Alden cackled at his daring words, looking ever so bravely at the shakily Royal Family, aware of the fate they will cross if she was further provoked.

"Your Majesties, I adore your company but your servant has tried thinking to defile and manipulate me. Surely if your daughter was in my place, she wouldn't want this man to exist. Right?"

Words that hold raw absolute power, raw control that makes the Royals flinch in fear. The daughter, I remember her name being Kathlyn Glayder, shivered at the intensity of the cold and the attention shifted to her.

Silence accompanied soon as we instinctively knew what came down next.

"I'll take that as a positive response."

"Wha– Y-your Majesty!"

The King and Queen braced themselves for what was the result of offending an Aurean's Host, expecting blood to be spilled with the frozen statue of their court mage all that remains.
