Ice King's Bride

18 Years Ago

In the dead silence of the night the only thing one could hear was the tiniest whimper. It seemed to be coming from a 2 year old. One could not distinguish whether it was a little girl or a boy but the state of the child seemed pitiful. From the way the child was discarded it seemed to have been abandoned by its parents, such a pitiful child. Even they treated their demon spawn with more love than these humans. "Is this the race said to be loving of their young? Huh! Despicable”. But what to do? He himself was a bachelor didn’t know one thing about raising a spawn and moreover a human child. The child could be given to a human for raising but this was the Nirvana a place where a human could not be found within thousands of miles it was one of the Ice Kings territories exclusive to mythical beings. A human will not dare encroach on his territory even if the king was in deep slumber. The demon general Ryan was deep in thought.   “What do I do with you?” he murmured to the child while picking it up. While he was holding the baby the strangest thing occurred the child stopped whimpering and took hold of one finger of the demon general. The general looked into the baby’s eyes and the most astounding thing happened the child’s eyes flashed turquoise blue with a hint of frost. “Aren’t you a human little baby? How could you have the same colored eyes as the king?’’ The general was not mistaken bout the eyes no one in the entire universe could have eyes that colour except the king. This child must be special upon checking the child’s gender it was she. “A girl! How can someone abandon someone as precious as you? Worry not I’ll raise you. From now onwards none could ever treat you bad.’’ Looking at the spawn now sleeping in his arms while holding his finger with her little paws Ryan felt his heart melt. But the baby’s eyes where a problem one look at her and demons would know she was not an ordinary baby. He performed the spell which changed her eyes to a light brown colour.  After the king the general had the highest rank outside of the royal family. Nothing was known about the royal family to the outsiders only the ruling faction was known to the citizens but the inner workings of the royal family the demon general knew it all. He himself had been in service to the king all his life. He witnessed everything in the Ice King’s rule. It has been two thousand years since the king went to slumber. Two thousand years were nothing to a being who has reached the immortal peak of cultivation but king was not a title easily given to any cultivator the king's cultivation had already reached the godly realm before he went to slumber god knows when the king wakes up how heaven defying his strength will be. While in thought he transported to his manor. His manor was adjoining the king’s castle. He looked at the spawn in his hands and contemplated what to do next. ‘’ Butler, arrange five full time nannies for me immediately.” The butler and the maids where shocked they clearly knew that their general was a bachelor his heaven defying hatred of woman and his aversion to any kind of intimate touch was known throughout the realms. Which kind of women had they not seen being dragged out of the manor for forcibly pestering the general but for the general to have a spawn the entire manor was in shock. ''yes, my lord.” The butler replied quickly. In a short time everything essential for a girl was arranged the manor’s servants efficiency was top notch. Looking at the cute baby in his arms playing with his fingers he felt at a loss at what to call her. Recalling her frost eyes and her platinum silver hair the colour of snow he looked down at his spawn with tenderness the feeling of being a father after so many years of loneliness after years of being alone someone of his own family he felt like he gained the most precious of treasures. “You will be called Snow the beloved daughter of the Demon General.” As if liking the sound of her name the spawn smiled happily up at him and made cute baby sounds. Thus began Ryan’s life as a father who spoiled his spawn rotten. Snow was a daddy’s girl since the first time Ryan laid eyes on her and more and more loved when she continued to grow. The sound of snow’s “da-da” in a baby voice had Ryan feeling overwhelmed. Snow’s entire childhood she knew she was loved. Her puppy eyes and softly whimpering “Dada” was always effective whenever she was naughty and got caught by her dad. Her supernatural education began when she was 4 years old to her this world full of magic was nothing new after all her father was a demon. At the age of 4 she was already a child prodigy able to do things most spawn her age couldn’t do even her demon teachers were astonished after all the Demon General’s spawn being a human this matter was now known throughout the realms. Many people thought to exploit this weak link in the general’s armor but his precious daughter’s safety was a matter the general did not take lightly the most elite soldiers from his army were chosen to guard his precious spawn. Snow grew up in a carefree, loving, safe environment but her training was just as vigorous her being a powerful person was a secret kept by everyone in the manor. She was their beloved princess loved by many the amount of people loyal to her at this age was truly astonishing. Papa General was truly proud of this miracle that was his daughter.
