Chapter 345
Snow is falling from the sky.
Looking down from the mountain city of Volterra with a clear view, all things in the world were covered in cold, bitter white snow.
Adela walked for a long time through a familiar landscape as if she had seen it before.
As she walked around the same place in the bone-chilling cold, Adela couldn’t help but think of that day.
“… … The day I left home tired of waiting. “All I wanted to do was find my parents.”
At that time, Adela was moving her short legs around and looking for her parents.
But that only added to the pain. The reason why Lewis was afraid of the cold was not simply because it lowered the temperature of the atmosphere.
The biggest problem was that it penetrated the devastated minds of people exposed to the cold and took away their mana.
He recovers mana by using the humans within the barrier as his fuel.
So Lewis never kills precious fuel. As the Queen of Winter, she confines her people in eternal cold and collects harsh taxes called ‘spirit and mana’.
“There was a blizzard outside. I missed the warm soup my parents made. I’m so lonely that anyone would be nice… … “I was hoping you would talk to me.”
The place where Adela stopped was her house. This was the place where Adela spent most of her time trapped in Volterra, and she could rightly call it the culmination of her trauma.
Nevertheless, Adela spoke so calmly and without any agitation.
“If it weren’t for Lewis, it wouldn’t have happened.”
“Adella… … .”
Adela slowly shook her head in response to Shin Yu-seong’s reaction.
“ah… … , I am okay. We are here to prevent such tragedies from happening. I’m trying to forget my personal feelings. but… … .”
Adela was unusually hesitant to say her next words. I could only be honest in front of Shin Yu-seong, but now the attack is approaching. Adela did not want to let Shin Yu-seong get caught up in her emotions.
Shin Yu-seong seemed to sense something about Adela’s attitude and cheered her on in a kind tone.
“It’s okay to say it.”
Adela felt curious.
Even though it is difficult for even him to understand his own complex emotions, how is it that Shin Yu-seong knows his worries so well?
It felt like her mind was being read, but Adela didn’t like it.
“just… … This is a fantasy I had after meeting Velvet. Who would I be today if I hadn’t lost my parents? … do… … . “It will definitely look different than it does now.”
Adela looked at the house filled with memories. She grew beautiful daisies with her parents in her front yard, now buried in snow. I loved how the entire yard was covered with the scent of spring when the flower petals bloomed.
Adela stared blankly at the front yard, which was filled with nothing but snow.
“… … “Do you want to see the two of you again?”
In response to Shin Yu-seong’s question as he held her hand tightly, Adela answered very honestly, unlike before.
“yes. very.”
If she could see the two again, Adela’s wish would always be the same. All she had to do was be held in the arms of her parents, just like her 5-year-old self.
“… … But I have no intention of complaining.”
But that dream could not come true, and Adela knew that best. Therefore, Adela wanted to make the attack even more successful.
I might not be able to get my parents back, but it was possible to get them to leave Volterra this cold winter.
When spring came in the bright sunshine, it was possible to make yellow daisies bloom like those days in one’s front yard.
“Just watching me grow… … “I want to show it to you two.”
Adela promised.
He said he would show the two of them that he had become a proud hunter, not a child shivering in the cold.
“It would be impossible alone, but I can do it with you.”
After completing her resolution, Adela left her empty house and headed towards the base camp with Shin Yu-seong. Sleeping in her own home was something she missed so much, but Adela never looked back.
* * *
The base camp for attacking Ruin Castle was decided to be a building belonging to the Hunter Association built in Volterra.
Although all of the building’s officials left due to Lewis’s resurrection, the facility itself boasted state-of-the-art technology, so it was sufficient as a base camp.
The only thing that bothered me was that the huge building without people was too quiet. No matter how bright the interior was illuminated, the gloomy silence could not be easily overcome.
“A building without people is a more dreary place than you might think! Moreover, it is this cold even inside the building… … .”
As Angela shivered from the cold, Lorelai responded relatively calmly.
“Winter in Lewis is not a physical temperature change, but a large barrier.”
As long as you were within the barrier’s influence, you couldn’t completely escape the cold, no matter how inside the building you were.
“Are you sure you don’t mind the cold? If you are having a hard time, it is better to put your bodies together and share warmth with each other… … .”
Contrary to Angela’s worried face, her suggestion did not seem to be purely cold.
‘How great it would be if we could have this opportunity to become closer to our esteemed Lorelai… … .’
Angela scolded herself for blasphemous imaginations, but the thought came to her every time she saw Lorelai.
‘That’s stroking Lorelai’s head… … .’
But that was a dream that could not come true. Even if Lorelai had allowed it, it would have been too profane.
‘But you can’t do that. Lorelai is the party leader and the oracle of the clock tower… … . It’s only natural that you always treat Lorelai with respect!’
Thanks to this, Angela was satisfied with just waiting by Lorelai’s side and combing her hair.
Even if Lorelai tried to muster up the courage to approach her like this time, she would not easily give her permission.
“it’s okay. “A hunter who came to attack the boss can’t behave like that because of the cold.”
To Angela, Lorelai’s hard-to-approach determination seemed rather attractive.
‘I can’t believe you don’t feel even the slightest bit disturbed in this cold… … ‘Of course, Lorelai!’
Angela looked at the entrance with regret behind her. Hunter, who was about to attack her, shouldn’t be excited about something like this, but Angela was very much looking forward to her reunion with Kim Eun-ah.
‘I’ll see you soon.’
Okay, how could I forget?
The body lines that have been strengthened through exercise and the facial features that fit neatly into the golden ratio as if designed by God. However, as if beauty alone wasn’t enough fun, it also had a cuteness that made it easy to make fun of its inappropriate behavior.
‘Besides, it’s clear… … That proud personality must have the taste of teasing you every time you tease him.’
The moment when Angela was drawing Kim Eun-ah like an unforgettable first love.
Slam!
The iron gate of the base camp opened.

‘at las!’
Angela looked at the entrance with an expectant look on her face. However, the one who entered the base camp with Shin Yu-seong was not Kim Eun-ah, whom Angela had been waiting for so long.
“oh… … .”
Angela let out a short sigh filled with deep regret. From the moment they first met until now, Angela’s courtship toward Kim Eun-ah has been consistent. She said that it was Adella, not Kim Eun-ah, who was by Shin Yoo-seong’s side.
‘It wasn’t Kim Eun-ah… … .’
However, Angela put her regrets aside and calmly looked at Adella. Her beauty cannot be hidden with her ruby-red eyes and indifferent expression. In addition, her pure white skin, like her pure white eyes, gave off a sense of mystery, so Angela was impressed without even knowing it.
‘It’s a different feeling from Kim Eun-ah, but it’s definitely amazing… … .’
If Kim Eun-ah wanted to bully and tease, Adela’s case was different.
‘It’s a queen-like case. No, you wouldn’t know it just by looking at it… … In fact, it might be the opposite.’
Angela tried her specialty, imagination. Adela exudes mystery from her position, and even at first glance, it seemed difficult to become friendly or approach her. That means it’s not easy to become close friends.
‘But once you get close, he’s the type to become secretly obsessed… … .’
What would happen if one of your few close friends suddenly leaves?
Let’s imagine the noble and mysterious Adela restlessly searching for herself. Angela shook her head with emotion.
‘… … Gaon’s party leader is really envious of how many party members like that are around him.’
While Angela was imagining things and making plans to become friends with Adela, Lorelai, the precious party leader, was staring at Shin Yu-seong with blushing cheeks.
‘Hey, knight!’
As Shin Yu-sung, who recognized her, approached her side, Lorelai heard her heart beating fast and pounding. The appearance of Shin Yoo-seong, whom she saw in person, was beyond her imagination and was hundreds of times more handsome than the prince she had seen in her children’s books.
“It’s been a while, Lorelai.”
Lorelai somehow managed to hold back her fainting spirit as Shin Yoosung smiled brightly at her.
Gulp.
Lorelai, nervous under Shin Yoosung’s gaze, was silent. She had to answer quickly because if she kept her mouth shut like this she would be seen as a strange person.
However, being this close to Shin Yoosung, it was not easy for Lorelai to even open her mouth.
Have you become strange?
How can not only your appearance and voice, but even your hand movements, be cool?
“… … stylish.”
Perhaps that was why Lorelai let out an exclamation without realizing it instead of answering. Shin Yu-seong laughs without any response.
“ah!”
Lorelai’s eyes widened in embarrassment as she belatedly realized her mistake.
[Lorelai? The heart is beating abnormally fast.]
The aftermath was so great that Chronoa, the goddess of time who had been sleeping within Lorelei, woke up.
‘I want to turn back time… … .’
Lorelai’s face was red and she was crying, but she had already spilled the water.
[That is not possible. No matter how much you are the goddess of time, you cannot turn back time.]
Lorelai blushed even more at Chronoa’s firm answer. At the moment she was anxious that Shin Yoo-seong might think she was a strange person.
“Lorelai. Do you have a fever? My face is very red… … . “Is it because of the cold?”
Shin Yu-sung was worried, even putting his hand on Lorelai’s forehead to measure her temperature. Thanks to her, Lorelai’s face went red and she completely broke down.
“Yes, yes…” … It’s cool… … .”
In a different way, the Oracle of the Clock Tower was completely destroyed.
