A night dimly lit by the moon.

The frost wings cutting through the dark sky were fluttering busily without any time to catch their breath.

It was so fast that you wouldn’t even know what was flying if you saw it from below.

Leasian continued to whip himself, saying that it was still not enough.

‘How much is left?’

It started flying when the sun was high in the sky… .

It really was a long time ago.

But there was still a long way to go before she reached home.

Flap – With a single flap of the wings, crystals scatter like frost on May New Year.

Glowing softly in the moonlight, it was a jaw-droppingly beautiful sight.

However, the state of Leasian that produced it was not good.

Like a person who is in a hurry and pressed for time.

She looked dangerous as she raced aimlessly through the sky.

‘Camiel… It’s really there, right?’

A place where his father would take Kamiel.

As far as she knew, there was only one place.

The place where I was born and raised,

The place where my relationship with Camiel began.

It was a mansion with a blue roof that stood out.

I couldn’t be sure.

Rheasian knows very well that he knows very little about his father.

‘If not… … .’

Leasian’s eyes wavered.

If not, there was no solution.

He could only hope that his prediction was correct.

There were many miscellaneous thoughts wandering around in my head.

But that too weathered away and disappeared over a long period of half a day.

Because of this, Leasian was able to have some time to sort out his emotions.

‘Camiel… .’

When I remembered that he was terminally ill, I started crying again.

How could he hide something like this from himself?

Even though it is not just another trivial secret, but a matter of life and death.

While Leasian doesn’t understand, it’s a little… I also understood his feelings.

‘you… ‘Were you worried about this change in me?’

Kamiel always said.

They say you have a pretty smile.

Rheasian thought it was just lip service or something to make himself feel better.

Now that I think about it, it occurred to me that maybe that was sincere and not a single lie.

‘so… ‘Are you keeping it a secret from me?’

Are you worried about your changing attitude?

Are you worried about being sad in advance?

“Fool… .”

Leasian muttered softly, soaking in the moisture.

There would be no fool like this.

How can you hide such an important matter just for that reason?

Of course, there are many other reasons besides those reasons.

From what I saw in the diary, Kamiel said that the reason he became like that was because his power was exploited by crystals and other things.

‘When I killed them all and came to my senses, I looked for them once… .’

As a result, the crystal was found.

However, other than that it looked a little strange, I didn’t notice anything unusual.

The size of the crystal was quite large.

First of all, the size of Leasian was easily surpassed by a long way.

So I had no choice but to leave the corrections behind.

To fly with something that big

The beads that Lee Ho prepared were the ones he used when visiting the village.

Because the process was rushed, Lee Ho-do was unable to find any beads except one.

‘Now that I think about it, Lee Ho… ‘I wasn’t at the mansion.’

Maybe it’s not that Lee Ho couldn’t find the beads.

Could it be that they deliberately only prepared one?

She suspected that Lee Ho had some kind of intention and had planned for her to arrive late at the mansion.

And this may have been a guess that was surprisingly close to the truth.

‘Lee Ho, in the end… ‘Because they must be my father’s limbs.’

What on earth is father trying to do by taking Camiel?

As a Rheasian, I had no idea.

Something like my father’s intentions.

‘but… It would never be beneficial to Kamiel.’

Suddenly, I remembered a moment in the past when Kamiel’s physical condition did not look particularly good.

I was worried, but I didn’t think about it seriously.

That’s because I had dismissed it as a simple cold or minor illness.

This may be because Kamiel was imprinted in Rheasian’s mind as an infinitely weak being.

‘I am… … In the end, I had no right to say anything.’

A bewildered expression appeared on his face.

In fact, wasn’t Kamiel already indirectly informing him of his condition?

Although he couldn’t express it in words, wasn’t he expressing his condition at least through a series of painful symptoms?

if… If that was the case, he was not qualified to be a lover.

‘I couldn’t understand your pain.’

Just like when a bird that was sitting quietly takes off, the birds around it also take off.

When Rheasian realized his mistake, the parts he had missed came flooding back like waves.

‘It seems like you go somewhere every morning… .’

‘Now that I think about it, I think I saw blood stains in the bathroom.’

‘My complexion was getting worse… .’

All of this… It might have been his distress signal.

Thinking like that, Leasian felt dizzy.

This may be a leap, but… What made it difficult for Kamiel to truly speak.

Could it be that it wasn’t him?

‘iced coffee… .’

A sense of desperation comes over me.

Why did he think that the only thing he did wrong to Camiel was killing the villagers and his family? .

Even though I was guilty of Kamiel at every moment… .

Like an idiot, I didn’t notice that fact.

I realized it too late.

At that time, it was so natural that… .

Everything I’ve done so far is like spilled water that I couldn’t even pick up.

Therefore, Leasian flew even more vigorously and increased its speed.

It seemed like if I just went a little faster, I could reach the mansion within half a day.

First, I will meet Kamiel and decide everything. With that thought in mind.

This night seemed to be quite long.

* * *

How much time has passed?

How is the situation going on outside?

Kamiel continued to think, even if it was pointless, and thought endlessly.

I felt like if I didn’t do this, I would be suffocated by the fear of death again.

At that time, Kamiel couldn’t believe his ears when he suddenly heard a sound.

At first, I thought I was hallucinating because I couldn’t eat properly and my body was getting weaker.

However, the cry that was so clear clearly belonged to the child who was my friend, even if it was only for a short time.

‘There’s no way Ulka is here… … .’

A very majestic and beautiful wolf with silver fur.

Originally, they would have crossed over to another place through the magic of the beads… .

Strangely, there was no trace of Ulka anywhere.

‘Could it be that Ulka couldn’t move together?’

Kamiel came to that conclusion at the time.

Otherwise, it means that Ulka left alone after arriving somewhere else with the beads.

Kamiel, who thought Ulka was a friend, did not believe it even if it was just an assumption.

Although it was for a short period of time.

Because Ulka was a person to be thankful for who left behind so many echoes in her heart.

I truly trusted him, so I didn’t want to feel like I had been betrayed.

‘what… I don’t know if that can be called betrayal.’

Crumbling… Twisting, twiddling… .

Kamiel was shocked.

I felt the feeling of my head rubbing during the arm dance.

‘no way… … .’

It felt fluffy.

Like wolf fur.

Only then did I turn to the side and see a bright yellow eye light shining brightly even in the vague darkness.

Kamiel was able to deduce its identity without difficulty.

No, I couldn’t have known.

The bright yellow eye glow was similar to Ulca’s that I had been looking for so long.

“You… Is it really possible?”

Ow… .

The bright yellow eyes moved up and down along with a shallow cry.

“Ulka… .”

I was speechless at the sudden reunion.

It was so unexpected, and I was so glad to see him because it had been so long since we had seen each other.

Of course, I wouldn’t have asked for anything more if the location had been a little better.

For now, I was just glad to have met Ulka.

“By the way, Ulka. How did you get here… ”

Cry.

Ulka stuck her head out as if to leave it aside for now.

At first, Kamiel said awkwardly, wondering if he was asking for a pat.

“My hands are tied now… Huh?”

However, Ulka seemed to understand his situation and placed her mouth towards his wrist.

And soon the sound of chewing on a rope is heard.

Soon, I realized that my wrist was free with the rope flowing down.

“Uh… thank you. Ulka.”

I was confused because it happened so quickly, but for now I said thank you.

He made a happy noise as he petted his wolf friend who worked hard for him.

Perhaps encouraged by the praise, Ulka quickly untied the rope tied to her ankle.

Then he raised his bright yellow eyes again.

As if asking for more praise, Camiel gently stroked the furry fur.

‘But what is it really?’

The doubts still did not go away.

Judging by the fact that Ulka released the rope that bound him,

And when I pinched my skin with my free hand, I saw that it was painful.

This definitely seemed like reality, not a dream or fantasy.

‘Whatever… Nice to meet you, Ulka.’

I tried not to think of this situation as difficult.

The more I think about it, the more complicated it becomes.

purr… .

Ulka enjoyed being praised for a while, then suddenly stood up.

“Huh? Is it Ulka?”

Crumbling… .

“Why? Come there?”

That’s it… .

I wondered what was going on, but Camiel seemed to be asking me to follow him, so he got up.

As he approached, Ulka scratched the wall as if waiting.

“What is there… .”

Kamiel reached out his hand without thinking and stopped.

“This… handle? Why is this here… ”

I trailed off.

Because it was a meaningless question.

Why would a handle that would normally be attached to a door be here?

That’s probably because the entrance is right in front of here.

I pulled on the handle just in case.

It won’t open.

Their hands and feet were tied, but they didn’t have any defenses like this…

Quirk-

“… … .”

… You haven’t done it?
