Max was crying in his bed. I hurt her very much. I am a jerk. But I can't accept her. If I accept her she will be in danger.

Before the ceremony, on the day we meet in the secret place,
After the talk, we decided to go back. Sherlyn went to the secret passage door. I watched her. She turned back and smiled and left. Her eyes are very beautiful.
I walked back home. Mom will be waiting for me. I loved my mom very much. Suddenly something flew above me. It is a black, big bird.
'THE BLACK QUEEN'
I used my power to attack her. But I missed it. She turned back to her human form. Her face looked familiar. But I couldn't recognise who it is. She holds my neck and pushed me down. She tied my hands and legs with her power.
"Hey, Max. It's been a while since I saw you. but you remain the same. The same handsome face."
"What do you want?"
"Oh, you are coming straight to the point. I like that"
"Why did you killed my dad. What did he do to you"
"Oh, silly boy. you never changed. You look very cute when you became angry. But the truth is I didn't kill your dad. Your dad knows very that if he uses his power he will die. But he used his power to form a protective layer around you. He sacrificed him to save you"
"Then why did you kill the Queen?"
"I have my reasons. I won't tell you what it is. But I am here to warn you"
"What"
"I know that the princess is going to choose you as her prince in the ceremony"
"How did you know that?"
"That's not the point here. You shouldn't accept her. If you accept her I will kill her in front of your eyes just like the queen"
"What! did you killed the Queen in front of me"
"Oh. So, you didn't remember all the things.
don't you?"
She laughed and turned into a giant black hawk and flew away.


On the present-day...
I cried. I couldn't control my tears. In the ceremony, I didn't accept Sherlyn. I want to protect her. I was sure Mora is in the palace. I had seen her in the palace. Maybe she is acting like a maid in the palace. But I loved Sherlyn very much. I am sorry Sherlyn. One day you will understand why I did that.
My mom knocked on the door and called me to eat.
"I don't want anything just leave me alone"
Mora said that she killed the Queen in front of me. I can't remember what happened that day. The story Sherlyn said that day is true. because my dad also has powers. He had the power to control ice. He formed a layer of ice around me to protect me. It is not melted for ten years. I need to discuss it with my mom. I went outside and called my mom. I told her about my dad.
"Mom did we shifted here from any other Kingdom"
"No. Our many generations were living here. your dad said to me that your grandpa also had some power. When he used it he died. So your father decided to not use his power. He is very proud that you managed to control your power"
Suddenly, we heard a knock on the door. My mom opened the door. We were shocked to see the King. His head was bleeding and he had many injuries. My mom rushed to call the doctor. But the King said her to treat him by herself. I went to take the first aid box. but he held my hands,
"Sherlyn is in trouble. The black Queen is going to kill her"
