History

While traveling across the Hild Continent in their flight from Lestava, Princess Snow and Edward the Dog sought refuge in this vacant castle on Pazurika Island. With pursuers from the Chess Pieces closing in on their trail, she used her Nature ÄRM, Iced Earth, to encapsulate herself in ice and ordered Edward to seek help outside the castle. Ian and Loco arrived with a small group of Pawns, but were forced to wait for Halloween to arrive with a flame Nature ÄRM.

Edward returned to the castle with two boys, Jack and Ginta, as well as the latter's partner ÄRM, Babbo. While making their way deep within the castle, Edward and Babbo both pick up the scent of someone close by. A figure from the shadows puts a dagger to Ginta's neck, revealing Dorothy who then realizes it's Ginta and the two delightfully reunite. After explaining what brought them to the castle, Dorothy emphasizes the urgency to rescue the girl, as even a well-trained magician's heart could easily stop within half a day. The group makes haste, parting with Dorothy again and rushing to the room where the princess was located in.

The moment Ginta stepped into the room and glanced upon the ice, he panicked to see Koyuki encased in it. Ian and Loco stood between them, but with Ginta's focus strictly on Koyuki, he fails to notice the duo who kick him back upon trying to run to her. Edward tells him to calm down and insists that her name was not Koyuki, which grabs Ginta's attention. Edward introduces her as Snow, the crown princess of the kingdom of Lestava. Ginta exhales a sigh of relief that Koyuki was still safely in Earth as his resolve strengthened to rescue Princess Snow.

Ian removes his mask and challenges Ginta to a duel while Loco stands by and watches. Ginta accepts, and they introduce themselves simultaneously with their attacks. During the fight, Babbo unintentionally knocked Edward unconscious and transformed into Alan, hero of the Cross Guard. Alan handed Ginta the ÄRM of Flame. Awakening from the melted ice, her eyes locked onto Ginta's as she fell on him and they accidentally kissed. Ginta immediately got back up, overwhelmed with mixed emotions, while Snow looked around and happily greeted Alan (whom she also referred to as "Ed") and thanked him for saving her. Alan corrected her that Ginta was the one who deserves the credit. She glanced back upon Ginta, who was lying on the ground again from utter shock and she remembered the kiss they shared moments prior.

Halloween then arrives and informs Loco and Ian that the mission to capture Babbo and Princess Snow has been aborted, as the Chess Pieces were called to assemble at Lestava Castle for the Second MÄR Heaven War. As Halloween laughs at Ginta being responsible for breaking Ian's arm, Jack yells out that Ginta is a human from a parallel world. Snow happily introduces herself to him after the Chess leave.

Ginta falls over in shock once more thinking about the kiss, wondering if it would be considered "cheating" despite his claim that he isn't dating Koyuki. Panicked, Snow hops over to Alan and asks him about the kiss since it was also her first time. Alan jokes that she should give him more as the two children blush over the incident. With the ice melted, the castle returns to its former state and the group exits outside.
