Again, again… .

Crack, crack… .

A person climbing a spiral staircase and a silver wolf.

It was Kamiel and Ulca.

‘I never thought it would be this deep… .’

Kamiel lifted his head and looked up.

Torches hanging sparsely illuminate the spiral staircase leading high.

It seemed like it would take some time to reach the last stairs.

The problem was Kamiel’s condition.

“Huh… … .”

When he stopped with a soft sigh, Ulka, who had been leisurely walking with her feet, also stopped.

The silver wolf looked at Camiel with shining yellow eyes.

Kamiel took a breath and nodded as if asking if he was okay.

“I’m fine. Ulka. Let’s take a break for a moment, shall we?”

Cry… .

Kamiel and Ulka sat on the stairs and rested for a while.

‘Is it because my physical strength is too weak…? .’

My legs felt numb, perhaps because the muscles that were not used due to lack of exercise were shocked.

Still, this was a treat.

The biggest problem was my shortness of breath.

“Huh… … .”

It’s been about two hours since I started climbing the stairs.

The arrival time may have been shortened due to the non-stop climb.

Perhaps it was an unreasonable choice, but my body was not able to thrive.

‘I wasn’t feeling well already… .’

A feeling of helplessness pervaded my entire body, which was as limp as cotton soaked in water.

If that was true even if I just stayed still, there was no way my body would be healthy because I had overexerted myself.

Cry… .

“Huh? Is it Ulka?”

Did I want to do something to see his drooping appearance?

The kind-hearted wolf got up and headed behind him.

Kamiel looked at him quizzically, and Ulka, who had already settled down, stared at him.

‘no way… .’

“Expectations?”

purr… … .

That seems to be the case.

Kamiel also looked embarrassed at first.

Anyway, I didn’t feel comfortable using my friend as a support.

However, Ulka’s gaze was intense.

“… Then, excuse me for a moment.”

Reluctantly, I leaned back against Ulka’s body and felt that it was similar to a soft pillow but also something different.

In any case, my back felt warm with a not bad feel.

“Ah… It was already cold. Thank you Ulka.”

purr… .

When he finally leaned back, Ulka placed her chin on the floor and let out a light breathing sound.

Kamiel smiled slightly.

‘I’m glad.’

Even though Ulka is a strong wolf, he only climbed the stairs for about two hours.

I was worried that it might be difficult.

But when I heard the sound of even breathing, I realized it was unfortunate.

Although it was fortunate, Kamiel sighed.

‘I should worry about myself… .’

I was in no position to worry about others.

There were still a lot of stairs to climb.

In fact, he had no reason to climb these stairs at all.

But the reason for this is… .

It was for Ulka.

‘How did they really get in?’

It was a strange thing.

Ulka was in the basement even though there was no other place to enter.

‘I don’t even know where this is in the first place… .’

It didn’t matter what happened to me.

But it wasn’t Ulka.

‘How did you really get in…? .’

I wanted to ask Ulka, but unfortunately, I didn’t have the talent to understand what the wolf was saying.

The only thing I can do is to quickly let Ulca outside… There seemed to be no other way.

“Shall we go again now?”

Kamiel, who had regained some of his stamina, although not completely, looked back slightly and asked.

Ow… .

When he got up, Ulka followed him.

The figure was like a shadow.

* * *

“… Looks like you came.”

Lepurn, who was alone in the study, muttered.

He put away the book he was reading and left the study.

As he walked down the hallway, his mood was different from usual.

To put it another way, there was no room.

It was strange that my heart wasn’t excited.

Isn’t this the day I had longed for so much?

This is a car that is trying to take another opportunity based on a previous failure.

Everything was progressing smoothly, like a scattered puzzle being put together.

It felt like fate.

In the end, one’s wish will not come true, such is the fate.

He came down the central stairs and stood in front of the front door, waiting for it to open.

And after not long the door opened as he had hoped.

Squeak-

The hinges made a creaking sound as if they were rusty.

Lepurun looked at it and muttered quietly, “I guess I need to oil it.”.

“… Father.”

Then, to the voice that was heard, Lepurn responded somewhat happily.

“It’s been a while. Leasian.”

“… … .”

Instead of answering, the light brown haired girl glared at her father with emotionless eyes.

“Where is Camiel?”

“Kamiel? Why are you looking for that guy here? By the way, it’s been a while since we’ve seen each other like this. How about having a cup of tea?”

“I don’t have that much time left.”

“Even though it’s been a while since I met my father?”

“… I don’t know why you’re doing something you never did before.”

Hostility was evident in every word she said.

“Please give Kamiel away quickly. I don’t want to fight with my father.”

“… … .”

Only then did Lepuren’s expression gradually harden.

“… That guy was the problem. He must have been the one who made you like that.”

“Is this a problem?”

Leasian twitched his eyes.

I don’t know anything else, but I couldn’t bear to treat Camiel like a problem.

“If there was a problem with me, it would have been my father who almost neglected my dark childhood.”

“You left it alone… okay. I admit it. I was so insensitive to you.”

“Just because you admit it now doesn’t change anything.”

Leasian was adamant.

No, if you look closely, you can also see a feeling of disdain.

‘It’s an abomination.’

How can someone be so shameless?

It was as shameless as wearing ten animal skins.

As a mother, I have already come to know my father’s ugly side.

In Rheasian’s opinion, his father was a worse person than his mother.

It would be enough to call it the root of all evil.

‘but… ‘It’s dangerous for me to tell you exactly what you told your mother.’

Rheasian had already noticed as well.

At least my father took Kamiel away.

‘Camiel. Where are you… .’

Now that I didn’t know where Kamiel was, I had to be cautious.

It was a time when I had to pretend not to notice no matter how disgusting and disgusting I was facing someone.

It would be a big problem if my father, who was provoked, didn’t reveal Camiel’s location and took him to a place where he couldn’t be found.

“… Where is Kamiel?”

so… First, after finding Camiel.

Next, he exposes his father’s secrets one by one.

That was the correct order.

Lepureun may have decided that he could no longer hide it, but he did not add or subtract from his words.

“You… You won’t know. How important I am preparing.”

“Important? What is that?”

Leasian questioned.

The feeling was unusual.

Lepuren didn’t hide anything in particular.

I told it like it is.

Because it was going to be revealed soon anyway.

“It is about bringing back your mother, Saruna, my wife.”

“… … .”

Leasian kept his mouth shut.

Because it’s so surprising?

No, it was the opposite.

It’s ridiculous.

“… I was wondering if you were going to do something grand… You were having a ridiculous delusion.”

“It’s a delusion… You will know whether what I had was a vain dream or a feasible dream when you see the results.”

Lepuren’s tone was meaningful.

He seemed confident.

Because of that, Rheasian raised his eyebrows.

‘what?’

It feels uncomfortable.

What is this nonsense about suddenly bringing my mother back to life?

Also, what does this have to do with the reason Kamiel was taken away?

‘no way… … .’

“… Please answer this one question.”

“What is it?”

“To bring my mother back to life… Do you really need Camiel?”

“… Yes.”

“Then… Do you need Kamiel’s abilities?”

Leasian asked, showing signs of anxiety.

Lepureun read his daughter’s anxiety and spoke calmly.

“You… You worry about that guy until the end. okay. To be more precise, we need that guy’s heart.”

Blah blah blah blah—!!!

“You… I’m still young so I don’t know. That what I do will help you too.”

“Don’t say nonsense!!”

bang-!

The venue suddenly turned into winter.

The chandelier hanging from the ceiling froze and eventually fell.

Lepurn stretched out his hand without even looking at it.

The pitch-black energy that emitted from the fingertips spread out like smoke.

Shit!

The shattered chandelier fell like snow.

Crystals shining in the sunlight fall between the two people.

Leasian spoke again, trying hard to suppress his anger.

“Tell me where Camiel is.”

“Are you threatening your father?”

“I also endured as much as I could.”

But there was no patience or reason to endure any longer.

Anxiety that perhaps Kamiel might have already done something wrong and anger toward his father who had done this rose up horribly.

“I can’t help it… … .”

Black fog spreads everywhere.

‘Camiel… .’

My intestines, which were already frozen, began to freeze even colder.

The cold and damp energy was constantly colliding, causing the ground to shake as if there was an earthquake.

“I have no choice but to calm you down.”

Lepuren spoke with cold yet eager eyes.
