26 – Interference

far away,

A splash of water rose at the starting point of the lake.

The sight of a person being sucked under the ice was chilling to the viewers.

“Unbelievable…”

Lucia was no exception. I didn’t even realize right away that Siron had not passed the succession ceremony. The results were so unbelievable.

I expected that about one out of three people would not pass the succession ceremony, but it was all the more so because I did not even think that it would become Shiron.

‘Why did you fail? What is Shiron lacking?’

Lucia opened her eyes wide and looked at the lake. There was a hole in the lake he had just passed that he hadn’t seen before. This is the place where Chiron was sucked in.

The ice, which had not been scratched even after tapping it with all its history, mysteriously collapsed horribly when Shiron climbed up. Even though I knew it was unusual ice, my heart sank.

‘If Shiron doesn’t have qualifications, then who on earth is qualified?’

Lucia’s eyebrows furrowed. My fist clenches at the absurdity. A succession ceremony that only requires crossing over ice. Aside from yourself, didn’t Siriel also pass without any problems?

‘It’s a succession ceremony?’

If the purpose of the succession ceremony is to continue the legacy of founder Kylie, then Lucia, Kylie’s reincarnation, is the person most suitable for the purpose of the succession ceremony. There is no problem understanding up to that point.

Lucia turned her head and saw Siriel holding the hem of Hugo’s clothes tightly.

Siriel seems to be in the exact opposite position to Siron.

This girl looks so soft, as if she couldn’t even kill a bug. At first glance, you might mistake it for the daughter of an ink dealer.

What about poetry?

Siron Prien. Lucia’s half-brother. He holds a holy sword.

Therefore, the fact that Siriel, who is not the reincarnation of a hero and does not possess a holy sword, passed the test makes us question the criteria.

I didn’t really want Siriel to fall, but…

Was it a time when you were struggling like that?

“I failed.”

Hugo crossed his arms and clicked his tongue in disappointment.

His brows furrowed slightly, but Hugo didn’t particularly feel like blaming Siron. Even if it didn’t pass the succession ceremony, it’s not Siron’s fault.

‘I hope you don’t get too upset.’

It’s just a pity.

Hugo looked down at Lucia at his feet. A girl with red hair like her younger brother Glenn said that she had recently come to Dawn Castle and lived with Siron. Did Yuma tell you that he was Glenn’s bastard son?

His wife’s child, Siron, had black hair and eyes, but Lucia had red hair and golden eyes. Ironically, perhaps because she inherited her blood, Lucia’s appearance resembles that of Glenn when she was young.

‘He is a legitimate child worse than a scholar…’

Hugo groaned and stroked his beard. A deficit worse than that of a scholar. At first glance, he is more, not less, than Hugo, who was labeled as an older brother who is worse than his younger brother.

It was self-evident that being the only one eliminated from the succession ceremony passed by his half-brother and cousin would inflict a great wound on Shiron’s heart.

The face of Shiron I saw yesterday comes to mind.

Shiron, who smiled and said he understood Hugo, who insulted his father in front of him, showed a proud appearance unlike his age.

‘A pitiful thing.’

from what moment A weak feeling of pity settled in Hugo’s heart.

The feeling was never spontaneous.

5 years ago

The funeral of Shiron’s mother, Irina, was held.

The face of Shiron I saw then is still vivid.

A child who stood blankly watching the servants shed tears.

Six-year-old Siron was too young to understand the concept of death. Siron wandered around the castle, calling for his mother, who he didn’t know existed in this world and who couldn’t answer.

‘And yet Glenn… that guy named Abi didn’t even show his face at my wife’s funeral.’

Since they grew up without even being cared for by their father, let alone their mother, it is natural that they grow up early.

Pudeudeuk.

As expected, Glenn was an asshole.

“… … father. “What happens to Siron now?”

“… … “It’ll be okay.”

In response to Siriel’s question, Hugo frowned and exhaled.

“There were people who didn’t pass the last succession ceremony, but everyone was safe. “The succession ceremony does not exist to kill children.”

“Then I’m glad.”

Siriel held Hugo’s clothesline and looked at Yuma across the lake. I quickly waited for her to rescue my cousin.

“But why are you staying still?”

Lucia, who had not taken her eyes off the lake, narrowed her eyes. Her gaze remained on the ice lake.

It was rude behavior, but now was not the time to be concerned about such trivial superficiality.

“Hasn’t quite some time passed now?”

“… … that’s right.”

“Yuma told me before crossing the lake. Don’t worry, I’ll use magic to rescue you. Are you using magic that will take some time to take out?”

“That’s probably not true. Even when I was holding the succession ceremony, there were some who fell into the lake. But every time, Yuma used his magic to save us. “It didn’t even take a few seconds.”

“Then why now?”

Lucia had an ominous feeling.

Didn’t Yuma himself say that he would use magic to rescue them? However, the one-horned demon seen in the distance was steadfast.

Like that for 10 seconds and 20 seconds…

As time passed, Yuma did not move. Just quietly close your eyes and put your hands together in front of you.

Lucia turned her head and looked at Hugo. I became anxious.

“Hugo. “If things continue like this, Siron might die.”

Hugo stroked his chin and lowered his head.

“Yuma is a little strange today. Yuma is a demon, but… um… it’s never been like this before.”

“If you really want to, I’ll go in.”

Johan, who was watching the situation next to Hugo, spoke to Lucia.

“Surely, there won’t be any problems just because an outsider intervenes in the ritual, right?”

“You know very well.”

At what point did it start? The demon who was particularly friendly to Siron blocked their path.

“… … “Encia.”

That action distorted Lucia’s eyes even more viciously.

“Are you planning to make Siron die?”

*

Can you open your eyes in cold, icy water?

I was worried about that until I fell in.

‘He really looks like a dog.’

Siron’s eyes widened even as he fell to the bottom of the lake. It’s not because I knew it in advance. It’s simply because of the heat.

‘It’s turning off without any warning.’

I definitely made up my mind from the moment I took my first step.

When will it fall? It should be done by now, right? At this point, it’s time to let go…

However, the more I took one step forward, the more I gradually got the illusion that I would pass safely.

If there had been a sign of the ice cracking, he would have prepared himself mentally, but unfortunately, the lake betrayed Shiron’s expectations in a spectacular way. I never thought that the floor would evaporate the next time I let go of my mind.

‘Anyway. It’s like a f*cking game.’

Shiron chewed on his burning emotions, but at the same time tried to calm his excitement. I wanted to avoid the fact that the more excited I get, the faster my heart beats and the less time I can hold out in the water.

Shiron opened his tightly clenched fist and moved forward.

Thanks to the ice water, it was easy to control my emotions. The training you’ve done so far shines through. Even when submerged in cold water, my entire body did not become stiff.

However, the under the ice was darker than expected.

A lake with no bottom visible due to lack of light appears to be very deep. It was like an abyss that you couldn’t get out of if you got sucked into it, which caused fear.

but.

It’s less scary than dying because you don’t pass the succession ceremony.

I hate even more the embarrassment of not being able to pass by myself when Siriel, who is neither reincarnated nor possessed, and who is two years younger than me, passed.

‘f*ck you.’

Siron swam like he was crawling under the ice.

Don’t waste your breath.

I didn’t move my arms in vain, I only stirred my legs.

How long have you been swimming like that?

As the depth of the water became shallower, grains of sand began to become visible.

it is arrival Beyond the thick ice above is the target point.

‘then.’

Chiron stepped onto the sand. It’s just to deliver power. A tightly clenched fist was thrust upward to break the solid ice.

thud-!

thud-! thud-!

The moment the heavy blow hit the ice, waves rang in succession in the water. It is the momentum to pour all the energy that was saved while coming here now.

thud-!

‘… … I thought it wasn’t just ice.’

Shiron looked at the immovable ice and the slightly chapped fist.

I haven’t felt much pain since I possessed it. My fists were tingling now. Blood began to ooze from his fist.

‘When you came in, you were free, but not when you left? I know someone is doing this because they want to die trapped in the ice.’

Maybe it’s because it’s pretty messed up in the water.

It’s pretty noisy outside.

I could vaguely hear people murmuring across the ice.

Luckily, no help was extended.

‘It’s a good thing I told you in advance.’

Siron laughed bitterly. If you come this far and get help from someone, it’s a shame. In that case, it is better to fail outright from the beginning and gain sympathy.

Siron touched his solar plexus.

It seems that all the wealth that came out after the relics were dismantled was digested. My stomach, which had been bloated and bloated, felt much more comfortable.

‘I was nervous about getting caught.’

From noble mtl dot com

Fortunately, the wealth that had begun to be digested was not detected by the detection ability. That means that he has already become one with Siron.

In this way, I became able to draw the holy sword from anywhere in my body. Nevertheless.

‘I wanted to try something like this once.’

The boy opened his mouth and pulled out the holy sword.
