Chapter 25. Taking care of the snowflakes so they bloom. (2)
From the looks of it, Cain had a hard time holding the cadenza, and he seemed to be suffering a lot afterwards.
On the other hand, Leah only fainted after holding Aria, and was not particularly affected by Aria after that.
That difference made the conversation between Leah and Cain parallel.
“I think it is unbecoming of a truly strong swordsman to be swayed by weapons.”
The moment Leah spoke with an expressionless face,
“…….”
The smile disappeared from Cain’s face. Leah could see the change in him, but he didn’t stop talking.
“I heard about what Prince Cain went through. I can imagine how difficult and sad it must have been.”
“…….”
“But I think the more you do that, the more you work hard and grow, and keep that sword under full control.”
Leah concluded her speech in a calm tone.
“That way you won’t hurt anyone again.”
There was a moment of tense silence,
“……You think so.”
Cain’s bitter smile hid behind his lips.
“I am working on the part you mentioned. While Miss Leia left to find Aria, I went ahead and killed the monster holding the cadenza.”
“…….”
“I’m pretty used to using the cadenza now. I won’t make that mistake again.”
“I see.”
Leah thought that Cain would get angry because his pride was hurt, or that he would turn around and leave.
“And, if Miss Leah helps me, I think I’ll get used to it faster.”
However, Cain was a stronger enemy than expected.
“By being more intimate during our return to the capital.”
“……yes?”
Leah couldn’t believe her ears.
“Since our two swords have opposite qualities, I think we can complement each other.”
Cain smiled with a pure face, without any remorse, believing that the other person would naturally accept it.
“What do you think? Wouldn’t it be helpful for both of us?”
“…….”
Leah was speechless and only pursed her lips.
I didn’t know you would say so blatantly that we should be friends. Considering each other’s positions and positions, it was not something that could be said easily.
‘Do you really want Aria that much?’
I felt an unknown madness in Cain’s eyes as he looked at me.
The moment Leah slightly furrowed her brows,
“What are you two doing?”
A gruff voice broke the frozen air.
“-!”
Cain and Leah were startled and looked to the side.
Sabak.
Abel suddenly appeared and was looking at the two people.
‘When did it appear?’
Even my five sensitive senses could not feel his approach. Cain also looked at Abel with surprised eyes.
“I asked what you two were doing.”
Abel looked at Cain and smiled fiercely.
❖ ❖ ❖
I, who had already been listening to the conversation between the two for a while, couldn’t help but be shocked.
‘Is that kid crazy?’
How dare you try to put a spoon on Leah and Aria, which I had preoccupied.
‘I have eyes to see things.’
It was also proven in the original work that Cain and Leah help each other when they are together.
Aria freezes the owner’s body and even freezes the heart.
In the end, Leah became so numb to her emotions that she became an emotionless ice sculpture.
As if the person holding the Requiem turns into a monster that craves life force.
‘But it was different when I was with Cain.’
The energy of the cadenza prevented Leah from being eaten by Aria.
To Leah, Cain was her savior and lifesaver. So she stayed by Cain’s side.
We have taken care of everything in advance to prevent that from happening.
‘This time, Cain, that bastard is trying to get involved.’
He also knew it instinctively.
When I stay by Leah’s side, the pressure of the cadenza is much relieved.
He must have somehow obtained Cadenza with Sienna’s help, but he must not have expected the side effects that would follow.
Cain is probably struggling to quell the constant heat and boiling desire.
‘So I guess I crave Aria even more.’
The greed that had stuck in Cain’s eyes was very annoying.
‘What did that guy do for Leah?’
Did you try to quietly chase after Leah, who sneaked out of the castle?
Did you decide to help Leah, who was struggling after encountering a monster?

Did you come down from the mountain holding Aria and taking the fainted Leah with you?
‘I did it all.’
Cain’s obsession with Leah was unacceptable.
never!
“Abel, it’s none of your business.”
Cain dismissed it in a cold voice.
However, the fact that he didn’t leave yet seemed like he wanted to talk more with Leah.
“Do you think you want Aria that much? I’m ready to take out everything, including your liver and gallbladder.”
As I sarcastically spoke in a bitter tone, Cain suddenly turned towards me.
“what!”
He clicked his tongue once and laughed sharply.
“Aren’t you the one who covets Aria, Abel?”
“What, me?”
He pointed at me with his finger and gave me a puzzled look, but Cain didn’t flinch.
“If not, why did you secretly leave the Nord territory?”
“…….”
“In fact, wasn’t he trying to get his hands on Aria by starting ahead of Miss Leah?”
Cain’s eyes glowed menacingly.
“Then, when Miss Leah got hold of Aria, she said she had no choice but to follow her. What do you think, was I wrong?”
When I heard it, I was so shocked that I couldn’t even laugh.
“You have a great imagination.”
He twisted the corner of his mouth and snapped his fingers.
“If I had really meant to do that, I would have left as soon as I heard that Aria had appeared.”
“…….”
“And, if I had delayed leaving a message to someone, I wouldn’t have been able to save Leah.”
Cain twitched his lips as if he was disapproving. Looking at him like that, he let out a sigh and a deep sneer.
“I wasn’t interested in Aria, and never have been. Even more so now that I have a master.”
“That’s why it’s hard to believe.”
Cain gritted his teeth and fired.
“With a legendary sword in front of them, what swordsman wouldn’t be greedy?”
“Here I am, me.”
Cain’s face distorted as he pointed his finger at me and grinned.
“Nonsense nonsense!”
Leah, who was worse off, stepped forward and said something.
“Both of you, stop.”
“He started the argument first.”
“Prince Abel comes first…!”
Cain glared at me. He was wheezing and turned around.
“Just wait and see. Abel, your dark insides will be revealed in detail!”
“You must be young.”
Cain ignored me and bowed his head politely to Leah.
“See you later, Princess Leia.”
What the hell, that bastard.
He suddenly changes into the appearance of a nobleman, as if he’s been grumpy for a while. Besides, I didn’t like the fact that they always treated everyone except me with respect.
Plop, plod.
Cain disappeared with the sound of harsh footsteps. Far towards the subjugation team’s campsite.
When he got far enough away,
“You are not on good terms with Prince Cain.”
Leah’s suspicious voice came in.
“Tina?”
Leah saw me laughing and shrugged as if she couldn’t stop me.
“They were both very childish.”
“haha.”
“But I agree to some extent with Prince Cain’s question.”
“which?”
Leah took a step closer to me and gave me a straight look.
“Are you serious about not being interested in Aria?”
“…….”
“It’s true that Aria is a sword that everyone wants. But why are you saying it’s not you, Abel?”
Leia’s emerald eyes shone transparently. Deep and clear eyes, as if searching for the truth.
He looked at Leah and answered calmly.
“I’m strong even without Aria.”
“…….”
“I told you before, right? I’m going to beat you.”
He gently pushed up the corners of his mouth and smiled.
“That’s still the same now.”
“……haha!”
Leah burst into laughter with a frown on her face.
“That’s truly your answer, Abel. Your confidence is enormous.”
“Let’s just say it’s not confidence, it’s fact.”
“That’s what confidence is.”
Leah took a step back again.
“I have more questions than that.”
Leah didn’t seem to sense any lies in my answer, so she immediately changed the topic.
“How did you chase me? That blizzard was no ordinary blizzard.”
“It wasn’t so much that I couldn’t bear it.”
Arya’s blizzard freezes unworthy, insignificant creatures. So Leah and I were safe in there.
“And, after a certain point, there was no blizzard.”
“Oh, right. I did.”
Leah nodded and then asked if she recalled that time.
“Then did you see anyone else besides me?”
“Who else? I was the only one there?”
I knew who he was talking about, but I shamelessly pretended not to know.
“When I arrived at Mount Fredo, there was a flash of blue light. I hurried up and found you had collapsed.”
“That’s right. You saved me and left right away…?”
Leah muttered lowly and smoothed the ends of her hair. Her hair was tied there with a jewel that glowed blue.
“It’s a hair tie I’ve never seen before.”
He pointed to it with his finger as if it was curious. Every day, I feel that my acting skills are improving day by day.
“This is probably given to me by the Black Knight.”
Leah nodded slowly.
“I almost got hit by a monster, but he saved me. And I left this behind.”
Leah’s hands played with the jewels on her hairband.
“Somehow I feel protected when I wear this. I like it.”
I hid the happy smile that appeared on my lips.
‘It works well.’
Is it not possible to combine the power of the magic stone and the guardian, a hypothesis that was later proposed by Ekarot in the original work?
I put it into practice and found that it really worked.
Insert the magic stone crafted by Melina into the metal hairband made by Alessia.
As a result, a hairband with strong cold resistance was completed that ‘protects’ the wearer from ‘cold air’.
As long as she wears this headband, Leah will not be consumed by Arya’s power.
‘It means that you can wield Aria without losing your emotions.’
Thanks to that hair tie, it would have been easier to make Aria obey.
Nevertheless, it was quite surprising that Leah did not become arrogant and maintained the same appearance as before.
As soon as Cain gets his hands on the Cadenza, doesn’t he start running wild without knowing how high it is?
‘He is indeed the master chosen by Aria… … .’
Perhaps Aria knew that Leah was the most suitable host for her and attracted her to her.
The sword of the four seasons makes the one who is most in touch with its essence its owner.
“…….”
for a moment. So what is this Requiem thing? I feel strange for some reason.
I suppressed the sudden surge of resentment and smiled faintly.
“It suits you well. Keep wearing it.”
“is it.”
Leah slightly tilted her head as if she was embarrassed.
“Anyway, Abel, I finally have time to talk. Thank you for coming to help me.”
Leah’s warm gaze reached me.
“If it weren’t for you, I might have been attacked by another monster. By the time my father arrived, it would have been late.”
“Don’t even talk. I thought I was going to die chasing you.”
Actually, it wasn’t difficult at all.
Leah rode like crazy as if something had stung her – probably Aria’s voice – and she had no idea that I was chasing her.
So I was able to follow Leia leisurely on the Black Star.
“That’s because Aria kept calling me. I think I was out of my mind at that time.”
He spoke harshly towards Leah, who looked embarrassed.
“If you’re grateful, please give me something.”
“You already took a handful from your father.”
Leah wrinkled her nose and laughed empty-handed.
“One month’s worth of mining rights to the Node territory. That’s something my father really put a lot of effort into.”
“That’s the father’s gratitude for his daughter’s safe return. Shouldn’t the person also do something?”
Leah scratched her head and asked in an awkward tone.
“Is there anything you want from me?”
“It’s nothing special.”
At the response I was waiting for, I smiled.
“You just have to do me one favor.”
