Thanks to the strong recommendation of my mother, Yunha Kim. Eunah Kim has been taking care of her self-care with consistent Pilates since her middle school days.
For Kim Eun-ah, who also practiced yoga, even difficult stretching was a very familiar exercise to others.
“Huh, huh. It’s Eunya. I want to stop. If I keep doing this, I’m going to die… … .”
But for Amy, who has the flexibility of a log, these exercises are like torture. Thankfully, she hadn’t even done any aerobic exercise, but Amy was sitting down in her seat, panting for breath.
“It’s 30 minutes now. Why should I stop?”
“This is enough exercise. I, I want to go back to the club room… … . I want to have something sweet to drink… … . “Something like fruit milk that Sumire makes!”
Amy, whose face was red from how difficult it was, complained, but Eunah Kim could not hear her.
‘I will take revenge on the Sinnoh family… … . Breaking down to the 9th floor of the tower… … . I finished everything, but why aren’t you coming!?’
No wonder Kim Eun-ah was already obsessed with Shin Yu-sung’s message.
[Shin Yu-seong: Sorry everyone. I think I should stay in Italy a little longer.]
The news of Shin Yu-seong’s attack on Sardonyx had already spread widely not only in Gaon but also throughout Korea.
So Kim Eun-ah thought that Shin Yu-seong would come back as soon as tomorrow. Shin Yu-seong has not yet returned to Korea.
‘Italy… … ‘Is it that much fun?’
Kim Eun-ah was dissatisfied.
He has been waiting all day for Shin Yu-seong to return. Even though Shin Yu-seong has finished his strategy, he plans to stay in Italy a little longer.
‘Don’t you miss the party members?’
Kim Eun-ah felt sorry for many reasons.
‘… … We miss you so much.’
Sigh-
Kim Eun-ah flexibly raised one leg and wrapped her arms behind her, forming a cylinder.
Kim Eun-ah tries to pretend she’s okay, but her expression is full of disapproval.
‘Just really come.’
Kim Eun-ah, who had not seen Shin Yu-seong for several days, was very upset.

A cafe in Volterra.
Aden sat on a wooden chair, drinking tea, and smiled bitterly.
‘… … Is it too late? ‘Is it too fast?’
Winter Witch Louise.
She, the scourge of Volterra, disappeared, but Ruin Castle remains to this day. If you think about it, it was strange from the association’s point of view that it did not get rid of it. Ruin Castle is a symbol of shame for Volterra and the Association. Why wasn’t the castle, which was nothing more than a dungeon, destroyed?
But Ruin Castle had a good reason, and Aden had hidden that reason from Adela.
That you will forget with time.
It is said that the wounds of childhood will gradually recover. It was because I believed that.
‘But one thing is for sure, it was my foolish idea. If I truly love her granddaughter… … . Even if I get hurt. ‘She shouldn’t hide it from him.’
But Aden had one final stubbornness that he would never give up.
At some point Adela will greet you.
Aden hoped that Adela would not be alone. She could no longer see Adela alone, as she had done in those moments when she had walked alone through the winter of Volterra.
It was like breaking Aden’s torn heart twice.
‘… … however. This time the child is there.’
He is kinder than anyone Aden has ever seen. A hunter with an upright heart. The only hunter recognized by Adela. That’s why Aden wanted to have Shin Yu-seong by Adela’s side.
[I’ll tell you how. I also have a favor to ask student Shin Yu-seong.]
[When you clear the 10th floor of the tower, can you take Adela with you?]
[Adella’s power will be needed to inject cold into the egg and obtain refrigerant from a place called Ruin Castle. I don’t think it’s an unreasonable request.]
The attempt to attach Shinyuseong to Adella by mentioning Adella’s characteristics and even the tower was an extension of that.
‘Please don’t have that kid anymore. ‘I hope you don’t get hurt.’
This is not a legendary hunter.
‘… … please. I hope you become happier as the difficult times have been.’
My wish as an incompetent grandfather.
Arden put down his teacup and looked at the distant scenery by the window with a bitter face.
* * *
“It is an area where the general public is not allowed to enter. “Entry is permitted here for the bereaved families of the hunters who participated in the Lewis raid and for some administrators.”
After giving a short explanation, the official said that the reason Adela was able to enter was because she had the last name ‘Ortensia’.
Adela’s steps were as heavy as cotton soaked in water.
One step.
Two steps.
Every time I took my feet off the floor, it felt like an unknown swamp was swallowing my feet little by little.
“Adella. “It will be out soon.”
At that time, Shin Yu-seong’s voice was heard from next to him. Adela was still expressionless, but nodded her head with a pale face.
“… … thank you.”
“I’m the one who should be thanking you, right?”
Shin Yu-seong smiled while looking at Adella. She, Adela, was wondering if the heat of her egg would become stronger, and she was hugging the dragon’s egg, giving it her coldness.
A task that may seem easy but requires mana and mental power. Still, Adela shook her head.
“no. … … This is simple enough for me. And I decided to ask for your help in conquering the 10th floor of the tower.”
Jerk. Jerk.
How long did you walk?
Deep in the forests of Volterra.
In this land full of plant life, I saw a landscape that was far from reality.
frozen lake.

A beautiful ice castle built on top of it.
Adela moaned in the unrealistically white landscape.
“really… … .”
Adella, who was hugging the dragon’s egg, unconsciously gave strength to her arms. The intense heat felt from the egg.
Adela flinched. Shin Yu-seong placed her hand on Adela’s shoulder.
“Can you come in?”
Shin Yu-seong’s question is somewhat meaningful.
Adela opened her mouth with her eyes still fixed on the ice castle.
“… … you. “You know, right?”
“any.”
Volterra, Italy.
What happened to Adela when she was 5 years old? What does this ice castle created by Lewis mean to Adela?
“I heard it from Aden.”
Shin Yu-seong knew.
“But Adela. My question is not about consideration. “I wanted to hear your choice directly.”
You made me face this kind of scenery and now I have to make a choice. Adela smiled slightly at the story, which was so novel.
“… … okay.”
Then Adela put the egg she was hugging into her pocket.
“I’m going in.”
Jump and jump.
Adela takes a deep breath and slowly moves towards the ice castle.
I’m sorry.
The huge door opened and blue light poured out of the ice castle. Only then did the true nature of the ice castle, which was as beautiful as a handicraft on the outside, reveal itself.
Like the warriors who turned into stone statues upon seeing Medusa’s face. Adela could see the statues of the hunters frozen in Lewis’s cold.
“… … This.”
There were now frozen flowers in front of the statue.

The memorials of those who did not forget their courage to protect Volterra were engraved.
thud. Thump thump.
Heart starting to beat rapidly.
Adela’s feet stopped.
She had to open the door, go through the hallway, and keep going, but Adela stood tall as if she had taken root.
In Adela’s mind, questions were being resolved one by one.
Why has this ice castle, a symbol of shame for Volterra, not disappeared until now?
It was so I wouldn’t forget.
Because we cannot repeat their sacrifice and damage to liberate Volterra.
The reason the association did not demolish this ice castle was to commemorate and carry on their spirit.
Then what about Aden?
Why didn’t his grandfather inform him of the existence of Ruin Castle?
Adela sensed what would unfold in the future. His body froze. Her feet no longer moved.
Adela didn’t have the courage to face the truth yet.
