Naive, innocent, and a happy-go-lucky girl, that's how Arrow Sanchez lives despite losing her memories from her past. All she knew about it was what her parents told her, they were involved in a car accident, and she suffered the most causing her to forget everything. She knew for sure that something was wrong, but she didn't bother digging more clues for it. New university? It excites her. She will encounter many people, and that means more interaction. Aside from staying happy and having a peaceful life, she always dreamed of being everyone's friend, but that dream shattered into pieces after finally realizing what kind of university she's in. And worst? She encountered a man who everyone fears, Froze Knights, the owner of Knights IV University. Everybody described him as a cruel, ruthless, cold, and terrifying man, but that's not the case for her. If everyone believed that he's really horrible, why is he acting so sweet over her? Why is he so persistent to own her completely?
Chapter 1 1
"Good evening, Your Highness."
"Welcome back to the palace, Your Highness."
Everyone bowed their heads as the woman who possessed golden eyes passed by.
She didn't bother to greet them back, nor look at them. She continued walking like she owns the whole place, well she does.
"My granddaughter, I'm glad you're here. It's been 4 years since I last saw you, have you been well?" A deep voice came from the old man sitting on his throne.
"I'm also glad to see you, Emperor. But I'm not here to take over your position. You know how much my dad wants that and I don't want him to kill me." That cold voice brought horror to the people inside.
"I won't let that happen. Besides, how's your study? You're in college now, right?" The girl nodded softly at his question.
"I'm fine. But remember to fire the professor that I hate so much, or I'll kill him myself."
"I already talked to Sinco about that. By the way, you've grown into a beautiful woman. As I expected, your eyes are still beautiful." The old man smiled sweetly at her.
"I accept everything you say as a compliment, Emperor. But don't praise my eyes that much, I'll end up being arrogant." The old man laughed out loud at what she said.
"You little kid. Why don't you just accept this position? You're the most perfect princess. I want you to--"
"You know the palace rules, Your Highness. The Crown Prince, which is my father, should be in that position. I will never have the chance to be an Empress," she said.
"But Arrow--."
"I prefer being a simple central guard, Emperor. We've already discussed this matter." The tone of the girl's voice became emphatic.
That even the Emperor was affected.
"Alright, Arrow, I won't force you. Don't get mad at me. We just met." The Emperor tried to calm his granddaughter.
She grinned which stunned the people inside the whole room.
"I came here as Arrow Blood, as your grandchild. And not as a princess, Emperor. I want to ask for some important things, and I hope you can give those things to me," she stated seriously.
The old man sat on the throne as he faked a cough.
"You want us two, alone?" he asked. The woman nodded her head.
The Emperor signalled everyone to come out, so they did in just a few seconds.
"What is it, my grandchild?"
"I want to live a normal life, Emperor. I want those palace guards around me gone. You know I don't want anyone following me, and they might end up dead if you don't stop them," Arrow stated.
"But Arrow, you can't roam around this country without your guards. I have to protect you from--"
"You're insulting me, Emperor." The woman's eyebrow rose.
The old man swallowed and shook. "No. I trust you, but--"
"You don't know how much I hate the word 'but'. You don't trust me enough. And as long as you don't trust me, I will never take that position that you're offering me!" she exclaimed.
"My grandchild, calm down. Please. I trust you, Arrow, I trust you a lot but I'll never let someone hurt you. Please let the palace guards protect you, I'm begging you," the old man said.
"I've decided already. Remove my guards, or you'll see their dead bodies in front of your palace in two days." The woman walked away after saying that.
She was about to get out when the Emperor spoke.
"Arrow, where are you going? Have dinner with us first before you leave."
She turned to the old man. "Thank you for taking care of me, Emperor. But I think this will be the last time that you'll see me. I need to leave. And please, take care of yourself while I'm away." She smiled sweetly at her grandfather.
The old man was stunned until his beloved grandchild left. Arrow smiled, for the first time after 8 years. She smiled, and that's the sweetest smile she ever gave him.
What does that smile mean?
"Mom! Look what I've found!" I shouted excitedly when I entered the house.
"What is it this time, my angel?" mom asked as she dropped the magazine she was holding.
I giggled as the frog came out from behind me. I raised it above my head. "It's a frog!"
"Arrow! Put that down!"
I immediately stood frozen in my position when mommy turned pale. Oh no. She's white as paper!
"Mom--"
"Throw that frog outside, Arrow!"
"Mom. I'm sorry. You look so pale." I hurriedly went to her and hugged her.
"Oh my baby, you're so sweet. Don't do that again, I'm afraid of frogs." Mommy stroked my hair sweetly. I nodded at what she said. I hate seeing my mom getting mad at me.
"I'm sorry. I won't do that again. It was dad behind this, mom, he told me to show that frog to you." As long as I can, I'll be honest with the two of them.
"You're so honest, my angel. Where's your dad, I'm going to beat him so bad!" I laughed at what she said.
Dad's moves were in a hurry when he arrived, he came from the garden where we planted some seeds a while ago.
"Hon? What happened? Why are you shouting?" daddy asked.
"Henry! What else did you teach Arrow to scare me?" Mommy said angrily.
"What?" Daddy laughed. "It's just a frog, Victoria."
Mom looked at him with irritation. "You're using your daughter's innocence again to scare me, you're driving me insane, Henry!"
Daddy laughed and quickly protected himself from the magazine that mommy threw at him. I intervened before they even fought.
"Mom, dad. I have a new collection!" I giggled as I said that.
Mom suddenly turned to me, she smiled sweetly as she slowly caressed my hair.
"You just finished collecting the paintings from Audrey Santillan but you have new collections?" dad asked curiously.
