I Became the Snow Woman I Made

32 – 10 years (3)

International Exhibition.

The meeting of the precious people hosted by the imperial family continued in great success. A few days later, one of the noblest people on the entire continent arrived.

“Ouch…!”

The helper was very surprised and lowered his head.

Additional personnel were urgently put in to attend the honorable guest.

“”Meet Your Highness the Crown Prince!””

In response to the courtesy, the crown prince, Artan Pricus, nodded slightly.

Now that his vast talent is in full bloom, his body is solid and his eyes are clear.

“”Welcome to Princess Bullize!””

Bullyze Griffeon, a flower of the Duke of Griffeon, smiled.

The green hair that reached her shoulders was particularly shiny. She naturally crossed arms with the crown prince, and Artan marched forward confidently.

“Is it a work that expresses the firmness of Sehangojeol? The lines are great.”

“That’s right. It would be perfect to hang it on the family crest.”

The two looked very friendly as they looked around the exhibits closely.

The guests whispered while watching the two men and women.

“They are really handsome.”

“They look so good together that I’m envious. It was the best engagement ever?”

“I’m already looking forward to the day after the wedding. I’m sure you’ll make a great contribution to the development of the empire.”

Even though the engagement ceremony of the two has been around for quite some time, it became a hot topic when it was worth forgetting.

As such, the continent was focusing its attention on the next emperor and empress.

“Oh, hello to the majestic Crown Prince! It’s amazing how you show sophistication in every single action. Ah, I’m a member of the Lausanne family…”

In front of the two, even the nobles who used to show off their sharp hair everywhere had no choice but to bow their stiff backs.

The guests did not dare to confront, and flattered each other to make a meal.

“I see. I remember.”

“Oh, nice to meet you.”

Their attitude was generous.

As a result, even the people who were checking the liver rushed in, and it wasn’t long before the two entered the boudoir.

The outside was still buzzing with voices praising the two.

“Hmm.”

However, as the attention decreased, the expressions of the two men and women completely changed. The arms were still folded, but there was not even a trace of their former affection.

The prince said as if complaining.

“It’s inconvenient.”

It was a voice so small that only each other could hear it.

He looked down at his interlocking arms as though they were cumbersome. Bullyze, who erased his smile, whispered softly.

“I agree.”

“I’m glad you felt the same way.”

The engagement was led by the duke and the emperor.

Since neither of them objected, it was a breeze.

“I can’t get used to it. I never thought I’d have to take on such a task.”

However, it was only the result of weighing gains and losses.

The two had no love for each other. In particular, Artan hated the act of wearing a mask in public.

“Why don’t you just get used to it? If you’re already like this, what are you going to do after marriage?”

“It’s a marriage…”

Artan looked into the void as if in anguish at Bullyze’s scolding.

It reminded me of a blurry but ironically clear figure as if the paint had spread.

Bullyze caught a glimpse of him.

She and Artan didn’t have a bad relationship even if they didn’t have a love affair. We just couldn’t see each other as the opposite s*x.

Artan was objectively great.

Being immature is already a thing of the past, and now there is no flaw in anything outside or inside.

Why Bullyze still can’t see him as a man.

It was simply because I had been watching it for too long.

“Umm…”

Then why can’t Artan see her as her woman? Bullyze thought he had the same reason as himself.

No, that was until a few years ago.

Actually, compared to other nobles, their wedding was delayed.

The engagement was also concluded just before coming of age, so it was quite late.

The cause was the prince, who was silently procrastinating as if avoiding an engagement.

Bullyze understood that it was because he was indifferent to s*x and politics while concentrating on martial arts and studies.

Some people still think so.

Hana Boulize’s thoughts have changed a little.

“…Is this the musical instrument in the example?”

“Huh?”

I shifted my eyes to Artan’s words.

A gem on a high-end tabletop. A calm melody was flowing.

“Ah… Is this a music box? It’s just as beautiful as I’ve heard.”

“I see. In terms of musicality aside from scale, it might be comparable to the imperial orchestra.”

It was a surprise unlike the two people who are called geniuses or new talents. The music box was astonishing.

“Did you say Euristia’s Toho?

“That’s right. It’s her ghost. Where did you get something like this?”

Bullyze said curiously.

I wanted to meet him and ask him questions. But you know that.

Toho did too much publicity.

There were more losses than gains if we acted forcefully.

The two moved while looking around the works. Their paintings, of course, were great.

Then it stopped at one point.

“······!”

It was because Artan stopped.

He was staring at one spot in amazement.

“… Huh?”

Bullyze, tilting his head, followed suit.

There was a picture.

The title is ‘The Fallen God’.

The theme was a large snake attacking a city.

However, it was only a gimmick, and the real purpose seemed to be to highlight a woman.

Her head bent further.

“Why are you so surprised?”

It was well drawn, but it wasn’t a special level in this. The prince’s aesthetic sense would not be inferior to his own.

After an instant gap, Artan’s answer came back.

“······Uh, no. It’s nothing. Don’t mind it.”

I was somehow lost.

Her eyes also looked blurry.

Bullyze furrowed his eyebrows.

“Oh, is that so?”

It’s okay if you don’t want to tell me. Because you can figure it out yourself.

She glared at the painting.

Snake. See a snake A woman was also seen. The snake was black and huge.

According to common sense, a woman is likely to be swallowed up by her.

After a while, she was Jueok.

“I don’t know.”

In terms of highlighting a woman rather than a snake, it seems that the win or loss will be reversed.

I don’t know more than that.

For some reason, I have a strange feeling of deja vu when I see the woman, but it must be because of my mood.

She squinted to the side of her.

“·······.”

Artan was staring blankly at her painting.

It was a face that seemed to be locked in some kind of trouble.

“Hmm.”

It’s still like this.

Bullyze decided to wait a bit.

Because everyone has circumstances they don’t want to talk about.

Because I don’t want to talk about it…

“Who is it…”

The target of Artan’s love.

He was sure that he had someone on his mind.

I’ve vaguely noticed it before, but it’s a woman’s intuition.

That’s right.

Only then did I understand the fact that I was avoiding engagement and various attitudes.

“…What?”

“No, the song is good.”

Realizing that fact, she hurriedly moved.

She secretly released the man and surveyed Artan’s surroundings. She had no results.

There was not a single plausible female candidate.

It was a strange thing.

I’m sure he won’t reveal his sodomy.

“Well… It doesn’t matter.”

No matter who he likes, as a bully, he didn’t care.

However, this marriage was necessary for the imperial family, the Grypheon family, and even the entire empire.

So it doesn’t matter.

Intelligent Artan won’t be unaware of that fact. Blinded by love, she couldn’t make the wrong decision.

That was the reason why it hadn’t been an issue until now.

“…Just.”

I was curious.

Who stole the prince’s heart?

It was not a moment of passion. Who will be the object of one’s thoughts that have been kept unchanged for a long time….

Looking at the blue-and-white woman in the work, Boulizet said that he thought so.

Small town Glenver.

I took a breath after arriving at the city closest to the ice mountain range. How long has it been since she came out here?

I used to think that the village near the mountain range was safe, but it was a small village and there were no post offices.

It was a burdensome distance to walk, so a carriage was needed.

-Quillie… Go out again…?

I’ve also talked to the freekes.

It might take a while this time.

-Do I have to go? Can’t you go?

-No. I’m guarding the castle.

-s*x is no problem!

– Might be. Patrol as instructed.

I didn’t want to go either.

But, even if adults don’t like it, there are times when they have to do it…

Unlike before, there are many family members, so they won’t be bored either.

“It’s a nice atmosphere.”

Glanver was small but warm.

The standard of living may not be high, but the people who come and go are bright. It was strange to see people after a long time.

There is no time to enjoy leisurely.

I went straight to the exchange office.

“Welcome!”

A money changer with a clear voice welcomed me.

It was more like a shopping mall than a money changer, and that was true. Exchange offices in this era were not just places for meekly exchanging money and bills.

The moneychanger, who was stiff after seeing me, asked.

“…Which currency do you want?”

“Continental Currencies.”

The continent’s currency, made up of copper, silver and gold coins, is used in most countries.

Since the three countries leading the mainstream of the Four Seasons War were included, other currencies were not needed.

“Continent currency! A lot of people are looking for it. Then let’s see what you brought—”

“Here.”

Cheerureuk-!

I spilled my handbag lightly.

Brilliant jewels protruded.

“Uh… Uh…?”

The money changer stared blankly at the glittering scene. After that, it was obvious.

The transaction went smoothly.

“Thank you!”

Jewelry, which has a high price everywhere, was welcomed more than rare currency. So prepared.

First of all, they are items, but they are not that different from jewelry.

“Take a look!”

“Good job.”

My bag was thick when I left the exchange office. Not in copper or silver, but in gold.

“Is this what it feels like to be rich?”

Relaxing and plentiful came naturally.

The situation I am facing is not good. I shook my head and walked to the post office.

Now that I had money, I didn’t have to barter like before.

“We’re going to Chelmsford! Anyone want a ride?”

Arriving at the station, I stopped for a moment.

There were quite a lot of coachmen, probably red oceans. However, looking at the conditions, most of them seemed insincere.

It was the same with the propaganda content that says if you want to ride, don’t ride.

“Over there.”

“Uh, yes?”

I can’t trust people like that and go far.

I was startled by the fact that I looked back at the voice.

“What’s the fastest wagon here?”

“…Uh, in terms of speed, Chebran’s carriage would be the fastest.”

“What is Chev?”

“Over there.”

I looked at the place he was pointing at and saw a man with muddy hair.

The man was isolated from the other coachmen, as if in isolation. She had no customers, so she was only knocking on her car window.

“No one is there.”

“He’s good at getting things done, but he’s greedy. He’s not popular because he’s expensive.”

“Really?”

I was stuck on the fact that the work was done, so I couldn’t hear what was going on behind the scenes. Katabuta headed there.

“Wait a minute! Didn’t you hear me? I’m not asking for a penny or two!”

There was a word of discord from behind, but he ignored it. Money is not the problem.

It was important how quickly and safely they got to Kyoguk.

“How much did you earn in the past two days?”

“Me? Three glasses of wit ale is enough for the same day.”

“hahahaha! Didn’t we play too much? In my case—”

“Chebran.”

I stood in front of him and started talking.

However, the noisy surroundings suddenly became quiet like a mute who had eaten honey.

People’s eyes were focused on me as I glanced at the unexpected silence.

Surprise and astonishment. In a way, it was a familiar reaction.

Chebran came to his senses first.

“Are you… A guest?”

“Right.”

A short question and answer was enough to break the silence.

People giggled and looked at me and Chevran in turn.

“…Is this a woman you know?”

“No, it’s the first time I’ve seen it. If you’ve seen it around here, you wouldn’t know…”

“You’re wearing very unusual clothes. Are you a noble?”

Chebran looked straight at me, not paying attention to my stupidity.

Confidence flashed in her eyes.

“Where are you going?”

“The Kingdom of Astar.”

My tone was assertive, and he swiped his chin.

“You’re going far. Let’s see if that’s enough… I should get ten gold coins.”

“Ten coins?”

It was cheaper than I thought.

I was about to hand it over immediately, but screams and protests erupted from all sides.

“What? Gold, ten gold coins?! Hey, he has no morals!”

“Have you ever seen such a demon. You have to be angry once to come to your senses!”

“Who rides a wagon for that price!”

It was ridicule and ridicule toward Chebran.

But he didn’t even nod, and they talked to me too.

“Lady, that’s a net scam, a scam.”

“That bastard’s notoriety. He’s famous around here. He’s like the daughter of a noble house, so don’t waste your money.”

It was unknown whether their reaction was a simple feeling of inferiority or genuine concern.

I just asked Chebran.

“Can you go much faster than those coachmen?”

At those words, the surroundings became quiet again.

Everyone’s ears seemed to be paying attention to Chebran’s mouth. He then took a quick look around him.

Then he grinned.

“Even if I can’t, I’ll be twice as fast.”

“Here. Let’s go.”

“Oh, you were a precious person after all? I understand!”

I shook my head and paid the price coolly.

Inside, Chevran raised the corner of his mouth and left for the driver’s seat.

“I’ll take you there comfortably!”

The crowd shouted something, but I didn’t care. These people’s skills were a certain law.

As the carriage shook as if it were starting, a voice pierced my ears.

“Wait a minute! Wait a minute! It’s a shared ride…!”

Tadadat-!

A woman sprinted across the ground at breakneck speed, wearing a rapier in her leather armour.

Her pigtails fluttered violently to one side of her. She shouted for her to ride together in succession, and in an instant she came over and sat down next to me.

“Whew…”

She let out a sigh of relief and glanced in my direction, startled.

“hehehe! Evil!”

She let out a shrieking scream and hit the door frame, covering her head. She muttered as she blankly looked around inside her with a tear-stained face.

“Lee Seung… Lee Seung is right.”

Then, isn’t it sweeping her chest?

How can you make this much fun in 10 seconds? It was a great talent.

“Share?”

I spat out, and the woman nodded with a bewildered face.

“Yes! I also have urgent business. You said you were going all the way to Kyoguk, right?”

“That’s right. How?”

She must have come running from quite a distance.

She asked, and she smiled and shrugged her shoulders.

“I have good ears! One of the few things I’m proud of. Ah, my name is Cigna. I make a living as an adventurer in moderation.”

“…Quillier.”

It wasn’t a normal affinity.

It felt like my energy was speeding up. Whether she knew that feeling or not, Cigna exclaimed cheerfully.

“It’s almost too late! Thank God. Now, let’s get going!”

“·······.”

The lively voice left behind a few echoes before dissipating. Chevran asked her questioning her.

“Do you have any money?”

“Oh, oh right!”

When she realized she hadn’t paid, Cigna pulled out her leather pouch. Before long, ten gold coins were placed in the palm of her hand.

Chebran’s eyes widened.

“… Contrary to appearances, you seem to have abilities.”

However, the previous silence was not due to the amount.

The coachman looked at me like it was cold.

“No.”

“Well… I can’t help it if that’s the case… But really, can’t I?”

Passengers’ consent was required to ride together.

As if the word greedy was true, Chevran revealed her lingering feelings.

I glared at him. Seeing the disgruntled gaze, he cleared his throat.

“Oh, do I really have to get off?”

Seeing the series of events, Cigna blinked her eyes.

I was in the affirmative.

“Get down.”

“Why why! I have money too!”

“It’s my heart.”

“It’s mean! It’s too much! I’m in a hurry… hehehe!”

In an instant, she shuddered and her body trembled. She had goose bumps as if she had chills.

My gaze was colder than ever.

“What? What is it? I’m getting chills! I’m cold…?”

She looked everywhere for her cause.

Soon, the pupil stopped at me. A chill ran through my eyes reflected in the iris.

Though it may not be visible to others, Cigna was confused as if he felt something.

“Could it be…?”

It was no big deal.

She is a snow woman with low potential, but with time, this level of achievement was possible.

It was the extreme utilization of the ‘winter’ attribute.

“Look. You’re desperate enough to feel the cold. At this point, accept it… Hmmm!”

Chebran, who was unaware of the situation and was trying to convince me, gasped when I saw him.

He then hardened his expression and glared at Cigna.

“Aren’t you getting off?”

“…Isn’t even the coachman like that?! It’s urgent! I got a letter!”

“I don’t know anything about the letter, so get off it quickly.”

Cigna and Chebran, who had an unfair expression, had a scuffle. You don’t have to share a narrow seat with strangers.

Cigna made a desperate proposal to me, who insists on single-seater.

“Okay, then let’s do this! I’ll give you the information.”

“…Information?”

My ears pricked up.

The most important thing was information.

“Yes, yes! Adventurers are choosy, so they know a lot of information! The news is fast. Ask anything!”

I felt my own ears flutter.

I needed the knowledge of the world that has changed in the past decade. Not everyone knows, but in detail.

I doubt how much you know, but you seem like a skilled adventurer…

“I’ll drop it right away if it doesn’t matter.”

“Ah…! Of course, of course! Thank you!”

Cigna’s smile was in full bloom.

The back alleys of Disdel.

A tired, scruffy appearance. The woman who had messed up her red hair was holding her breath alone.

She spat as she bit her fingernails.

“The damned Holy Knights.”

Why do all the things with God in front of them do that to me? What kind of bad feelings do you have to use evil to hold on to?

It must have been paradise when you were an adventurer.

Compared to those who only care about money, the Holy Knights were tenacious enough to be fanatical.

It was only natural that only those with particularly strong religious beliefs were gathered. From their point of view, he who was stigmatized as a disaster must be the same as Cheolcheon’s enemy.

“Blood… I need blood.”

Too much blood was used.

Even she was tired. Blood had to be replenished… And to do so, vampirism was necessary.

“Oh really.”

I really didn’t want to do it anyway.

I couldn’t help it. Self-recovery was unreasonable because he used more than enough strength.

The woman sought her prey through her senses.

Criminals or villains with no way to sympathize were usually the targets.

Suddenly, self-help leaked out.

“This is why everyone hates me.”

Where in the world is there a human who sucks the blood of his own people?

There was no such habit other than himself. Who would like such an existence?

When I thought of the fact that even that was a medicinal fruit compared to ‘curse’, only resentment and despondency lingered around.

Today, the long fangs are especially annoying.

The moment I clenched my teeth, I heard a voice.

“Nell Sartilla.”

Nel raised her head.

I saw two men.

He wore a black robe with a whirlpool engraved on one side and a fireball on the other.

“…Who are you?”

The two of them answered at the same time to Nell’s question, which was hurriedly alert.

“It’s a saint.”

“The savior.”

Question marks appeared in their eyes.

The saint was the whirlpool, and the savior was the fireball man. The whirlpool man expressed his doubts.

“A savior? Can he call himself that, and not us?”

“What is it like? It is true that we will save the lost lamb.”

“…That’s true.”

I couldn’t understand what they were talking about.

Nel Sartilla frowned at her eyes.

“I’m so annoyed, what the hell! Who are you guys!”

“My name is Bringel. He’s here to get you.”

Bringel, a man of fire, approached the angry Nell.

“What are you bringing me? You’re not talking straight?! No, who are you guys?”

“He who follows calamity.”

“···!”

Nell’s eyes widened.

What do you follow?

Facing her confusion, Bringel preached.

“Don’t you hate one-sided hatred?”

“… What? What-“

“Don’t you hate humans? Don’t you want to show off and distort their faces?”

Nonchalant remarks as if he understood them.

Nell lost her words.

Stopped close to her, Bringel looked at Nell as if observing.

“As rumor has it. This disgust… It’s like blood flowing backwards.”

Those words stabbed her lungs.

Nel Sartilla The biggest taboo. She uttered a curse and she chewed on him and vomited it out.

“Shut up.”

“It’s not something that can be avoided. If you could have fixed it, you would have fixed it long ago.”

“…Don’t talk nonsense.”

In spite of her hostility, Bringel was ashamed.

Taking off her hood, he pierced her head.

“If you want to be saved! Come with us. His power can lift that curse!”

“!”

Nel was very surprised.

He was bald.

No matter how hard it is, will you follow these guys? Although shaken a little… Nel shouted to hide the darkness.

“This fanatic is a baby! Are you the opposite version of the Holy Knights?

Anyway, this country had no leaders.

As soon as he threatened to not go, Bringel’s eyes suddenly changed.

“I see. Then… I have no choice but to listen. Look, Adaine.”

“I know.”

Following Bringel who summoned the fireball, Adain also called a whirlpool.

It was intended to be enforced by anyone.

Forced oppression, bondage. Those were the things Nell hated the most.

“… You do? A dog world. A goddamn god.”

Her eyes were filled with resentment as she mumbled like a madman.

Her red eyes deepened.

“Do you really want me to die? Don’t be funny. I’m not dying. I can’t die!”

I couldn’t die until I knew who I was and why I was born. I can’t die because I’m sorry

I will resist.

Cheack-!

The red-hot, blood-colored magic was bloodied.

She had to scrape the rest of her blood all the way down to her floor with this battle.
