Chapter 280

Floor twelve was the coldest floor on all the lower floors as well as the place where the Echo species took as their home. This is the same floor where Han tested Lily and made her more independent, so for Lily, this floor was always special. Yana could go to the floor easily because she has already been to a higher floor. It was easy for the three of them to reach the twelfth floor quickly. Lily told Yana that she shouldn’t be shocked if she sees anything weird. Yana asked what could possibly happen and Lily chuckled nervously while Rina giggled. Rina has been to this floor before and she still remembers how the queen of the echo always acted around Han. It was like she always wanted to get rid of him as quickly as possible! Rina didn’t know what happened between Han and Lily here because they didn’t want to tell anyone, but she knew that it made Lily a much better person than before! If only they told me then I would be able to know why this queen is so afraid of Han!

Once the three girls arrived at floor twelve they were met by many others that also wanted to clear this floor. Just like always, the people on the lower floors were still trying to climb higher by killing monsters. Yana was smiling as she looked around at the canopy of snow! It was like there was nothing but white for miles and miles! She didn’t even care about the strange looks she was getting from some of the people here. They were all shocked to see someone dressed like her but Yana was already used to the stares that she always gets as a princess. She couldn’t care anymore.

Lily smiled happily as she felt her entire body relax once she came to this floor. She couldn’t deny that this is her favorite floor out of all of them! She just feels so free here! Even her powers feel stronger because of the cold! Lily looked up as she saw the queen and her group coming from the distance. The queen was rising her chariot proudly as she looked across the entire group of people. When the queen’s eyes landed on Yana, she rose a brow in surprise. It was very rare for the queen to see anyone dressed better than her on these lower floors, but she has to admit that Yana looked beautiful in her dress!

But it wasn’t until the queen saw Lily that she almost had a heart attack! Shit! This girl again!? What are you doing here!? Lily smiled at the queen and the queen tried her hardest to smile back although it came back a little shaky.

The queen took a deep breath and made sure no one could tell she was even nervous at all. She came down from her carriage and walked toward the three women. The first person she greeted was Yana and Yana smiled while giving the queen a curtsey.

“Hello. It’s a pleasure to meet fellow royalty,”

The queen rose a brow. So this girl is a queen as well? Or maybe a princess? Wait, that isn’t what’s important right now! The queen went close to Lily and whispered very low so only the four of them could hear it.

“I-Is he here? Your husband?”

Rina couldn’t stop herself from laughing lightly and the queen glared at her! This isn’t a joke! Just answer me! Lily shook her head and the queen let out a deep sigh as she finally relaxed. Ah! Thank goodness! The queen finally stood straight again and waved to her guards to take the other people here so they can start their mission while she spoke to the girls with a smile.

“So, what can I do for you then? I don’t think you just came here to visit my castle,”

These were her two kids. The boy was the older one and the girl was two years younger than him. The two children looked up and smiled at their mum and she grinned back at them. She loved her kids so much!

There was a sound from behind her and the queen turned around to see Yana and Rin looking at the two children in awe!

The small girl furrowed her cute little brow at Rina and Rina squeaked in joy! This girl is so cute! Look at her cute little horn! She even has blue skin!

The boy came down from his mother’s arms and walked up to Yana. He then looked up at her with wonder! He has never seen anyone that dresses as well as his mother so Yana was the first girl he got interested in! She looked so pretty!!

“You’re really pretty!”

Yana smiled widely before she bent down and hesitantly rubbed his cheek with her palm. He was so cold! She hoped he was okay! If she ever got this cold then she would be freezing!

“Uh... My name is Yana, what’s your name?”

“I’m Trewly! Nice to meet ya!”

Yana blushed at the cuteness! He had a missing tooth and whenever he smiled it would make the missing part stand out! It was so cute! Rina was walking toward the girl that the queen was still holding and when Rina tried to touch her the girl huffed and looked away. Rina sulked and Lily laughed from behind her! You look like a child, Rina!

Once the queen introduced the three girls to the children she dropped the girl and allowed the children to greet the girls properly. The girl’s name was Slyph and when she allowed Yana to touch her Yana realized that she was just as cold as her brother! Maybe it was something special to the Echo’s?

Rina pouted from behind Yana. How come they are allowing Yana to touch them and I can’t!? It’s not fair! The queen smiled and told the kids to take the girls on a tour and Trewly grinned widely as he grabbed Yana’s hand and began dragging her into the house! He wanted to show her all his toys!

Lily watched them go with a small smile on her face. Me? Go with two excited children to look around? Yeah, no. I’d rather fight Han again!

Lily just didn’t like children.
