Chapter 210

If I remembered what happened to my birth, it would probably be the most terrible memory, but luckily it wasn’t.

The oldest self in my head was a small chrysalis.

“Ugh, is it too frustrating?”

“I can’t help it. Everyone freezes when they enter and leave that room. There are six kids who quit because they couldn’t do it, and you are the seventh.”

“Hey, is that so?”

“Remember. Don’t answer even when I talk to you. Don’t say anything, just put down your meal and come out. Otherwise you will get hurt.”

Inside a small room locked from the outside.

With only the tips of his toes sticking out under the fur coat that had been rolled up and tightly wrapped around his body. It really looked like a chrysalis.

When it heard a voice outside, the chrysalis would run over and put its ear to the door.

Being able to hear human speech was a rare opportunity for a chrysalis, so it was worth doing in this room.

“I brought you a meal, Princess.”

“Ah, yes!”

The chrysalis was startled and rolled backwards. as far as possible.

He knows he shouldn’t be near the door.

Jingle. clap. clap. jingle.

Judging by the sound, this room has two locks that lock from the outside. It was very high outside the window and there were iron bars, and it was clear that the chrysalis couldn’t sneak out.

The chrysalis couldn’t see the lady-in-waiting who entered the room. Her eyes are fine, but she knows that the ladies-in-waiting will get hurt if she sticks her head out of the chrysalis.

Dalgrak.

When it hears the plate being set down, the chrysalis exclaims urgently.

“there… … !”

“have a good meal.”

thud.

Not even a few seconds had passed. Cracked again outside. clap. I hear the sound of a lock being locked.

You really talk. You can keep doing that… … . The small voice gradually fades away. As you move away, it disappears.

“Well.”

The chrysalis stuck out its head. Shining silver hair suddenly rose.

In a lonely room where nothing is different from the usual. Today, Euril had no one to talk to.

“In addition.”

Euril let out a small sigh.

The maid who had just entered was the eighth. The maid introduced the seventh because the first maid died. I don’t need to tell you such a heinous fact.

Since he was left alone, there was nothing special about Euril, who spent more than 90 percent of his life alone.

“boring.”

Still, I feel bored.

Even if you force yourself to sleep, there is a limit.

I have nothing to do, but I have to stay awake for half of the day. Do animals sleep in hibernation? Euril was frustrated as to why she couldn’t do that.

Wallow wallow.

After rolling on the soft wool floor, all I had to do was, as always, take out one of the books that were crammed on the bookshelf and read it.

Books prepared by Obama.

I have already read all the books on the bookshelf. Occasionally, a few new books come in, but the book itself is so precious that I have no choice but to read the book again.

It helps to study and build culture, but what Euril read the most was thin children’s books.

“To save Princess Teach, who was kidnapped by the demon king Kopa and imprisoned in the lava castle, the hero Ario set out on a journey… … .”

I don’t know how many times I’ve read it.

In fact, I could recite as much as I wanted without opening the book.

There was no demon king or lava, but being trapped in a stuffy castle was just like Princess Teach.

“Ario, the brave man who came with a stylish mustache, said to Princess Teach… … .”

Just like the hero Ario saved Princess Teach. He said that one day, a warrior who came from a faraway place would save him.

I had already given up a lot at a young age, but I only hoped for that one thing. It was Auril’s last hope.

“… … Did you wait a long time?”

But.

Even after 10 years, Euril was not saved by anyone.

* * *

“Damn it, I have to open this bastard Mash soon… … .”

“So you said. It’s perfect to starve to death if you stay here. How nice Rongrut is, warm.”

As time passed, Euril, who was able to control the cold to some extent, was able to escape from the narrow and cozy chrysalis.

Still, the invisible chrysalis surrounding Auril did not change.

“No, but isn’t this too cold? Etch! Something is strange.”

“I know… … . Wait a minute. Isn’t that the royal carriage, isn’t that?”

“Ahh. I heard Didn’t they say that the damn princess was admitted to Summer Turge?”

“Somehow, my body felt chilly.”

“Rotten. If it wasn’t for that year, I wouldn’t be in this situation. Wow!”

“Let’s go quickly. I will catch a cold.”

“Look at this, even my saliva is frozen!”

People who sigh and retreat.

The little big chrysalis bit people around like that.

got used to it now At the age of sixteen, Euril had long noticed the public eye on her.

It’s nothing.

Just the fact that nothing is wrong stabs a corner of my heart sharply. In order to forget such pain, Euril had to become even colder.

However, one question remains even in such cold coolness.

why?

“why… … .”

I inadvertently took it out of my mouth.

why did i become like this Why do I make people suffer?

Did I do something very wrong? I didn’t do anything. Maybe it’s because I didn’t do anything?

itchy around the eyes

I couldn’t shed tears, but my sadness sometimes became stinging pieces of ice and stung my eyelids.

“You can use room 1303.”

After arriving at Summer Turge.

The Empire gave Euril more consideration than expected. Her room was assigned to the top floor of the Tower of Truth, where it is difficult for even the nobles of their country to stay.

However, I did not come here to learn in the first place. I couldn’t even attend class anyway.

I’ve been stoned before, but now I wonder if my reputation matters. At first, I made up my mind and tried to take the class.

“Why do you stand up and listen to class?”

“Ah, that. I’m sleepy… … .”

“haha. That kind of passion, that’s great.”

The male student smiled shyly.

The large lecture hall was fine, but in such a small lecture hall, when Euril sat down, someone would have no place to sit.

‘Cause I can’t sit next to you

No matter how much you sit in the corner, you have to leave three seats empty. Even so, the boy did not show any discomfort towards Euril.

I’d rather not curse at all.

I wanted to be like that when students from Mashu sometimes spat out curse words at me, but it was rather painful because they didn’t say anything.

After that, I skipped all classes. Penalty points accumulated steadily.

When he accumulates points, he takes on the task of cleaning the campus. Still, it was possible to do it at night when the students stopped walking. Because there was nothing else to do.

Since when, I can no longer see the sun rising in the sky.

* * *

I barely opened my eyes amid the flood of memories like a tidal wave.

I thought it was a long time ago, but I guess it wasn’t. Auril was still shooting ice blocks with terrifying momentum.

Perhaps because it was the same power from the beginning, the water I moved did not freeze even in the cold air that Euril exhaled.

“Be patient.”

He reached out and covered Euril’s head with water. I found out through Tera. Even fairies need to breathe.

Sharp pieces of ice flew from all directions at an incredible speed, but thanks to the wind-powered curtain, they only scratched the skin.

Great!

Euril struggled in agony.

Bubbles of water were rising, and the restraints of the ice created by Brea were about to break.

About a minute until the movement stopped. The snowstorm stopped and the chill subsided.

Tuduk!

As the restraints of the ice that had endured to the limit were broken, Euril’s limp body leaned forward. I accepted Auril.

It was cold all the same, but as stated in the record, a thin layer of water was applied to the skin to prevent the cold from penetrating to some extent.

“Rox! Are you done?”

“Are you okay? Auril is… … .”

“I passed out.”

Ainim and Hira, who were guarding the outside with Brea, were delighted.

However, as they took a few steps closer, Brea hurriedly opened her short arms and bit them both.

“Don’t come any closer.”

“yes?”

“You can’t control it in an unconscious state. They can’t stand it.”

“Am I okay?”

“Only you.”

Even though they tried to pretend they were okay, they could see Ainim and Hira trembling.

“Is it because of the power of the beginning?”

“There is that too. Even if you’re not conscious, I’m in control of you. probably wake up soon My mind is fine, but I can’t control my strength.”

That meant waiting until I found Llama and Terra in the Northern Neutral Zone.

“Then, in the meantime, we’ll go to the north and find the fairies.”

“Are you okay?”

“There is nothing we can do here. It will only get in the way. sniff.”

The child sniffed and said. It seems to be very cold.

“I will find it as soon as possible. If I’m by your side, you won’t be lazy.”

“I’ll take you.”

“Thank you, everyone.”

wheein!

Brea, covered in snow, suddenly turned into a large fox. Patting its back with its pure white tail seems to be asking for it to get on.

“I’ll be right back!”

Carrying Ainim and Hira on her back, Brea ran across the snow-covered field and disappeared.

The snow has stopped now.

I was left in the vast field with the fallen Auril in my arms. Brea said she would wake up sooner or later.

“… … It’s hard to stay here.”

nothing to drink or eat

Looking far away, surprisingly, there was no snow field all the way.

From the glimpse of green, it seems that this is probably the meadow beyond the white jade that Auril and I visited before.

I trudged along with Auril on my back. I think I need to find a pigtail river.

After walking for a while listening to the sound of squeaking, Euril woke up.

“eww… … .”

“Oh, are you awake?”

I was quite nervous, thinking that I might be attacking right away, but luckily, Euril was quietly sitting on my back.

“Here… … ?”

“It’s the meadow I came from before.”

“By the way. Whoa!”

“Oh, then leave!”

A startled Euril shoved my back, almost dropping me.

“What, what are you doing?”

“As you can see, I’m fine.”

He wasn’t wearing thick clothes, and there was no problem even with Auril on his back. Even when he was being carried right away, his cheek was almost on the nape of his neck.

“how… … ?”

“Do you remember?”

Auril nodded quietly.

From the time he annihilated the wizards in the bottomless cave until now, he had been running out of control, but his memories were intact.

“… … A lot died.”

“Don’t think about that now. It’s important that you come back.”

Auril’s cold is still uncontrollable, and to prevent it, Ainim and Hira told her that they went to find the fairies.

In the meantime, the snow field was over and we arrived at the meadow where the grass grew little by little.

“Can’t you walk?”

“no.”

I tried to put it down, but it was still on my back, so I asked. Euril said as she tightened her arm around my neck.

“… … Stay like this.”

“Okay, then.”

I laughed bitterly.

There are no words to comfort you now. There was just nothing I could do about it.
