Episode 189 Chapter 43: Everything is Frozen (2)

Everything is Frozen (2)

Night had fallen.

The evenings on the Levian coast were chilling and desolate, but Hong Bi Yeon, who preferred the cold, put on her coat and went for a walk.

Every time the icy wind brushed her cheeks like a blade, her wandering thoughts were stilled.

Standing on the outer walls of the fortress, she gazed at the sea sparkling in the moonlight in the distance.

It was a beautiful scene.

She doubted there could be a view more beautiful in the world.

Hong Bi Yeon captured the seascape in her ruby-colored eyes. As she watched, it seemed as if the frozen sea might thaw.

'Your role is very simple.'

In her mind, she recalled what Queen Hong Se Ryu had told her.

'Absorb the Flame Flower into your body and resonate with the Heart of Eternal Ice. That is the only thing you can do for this country.'

It sounded so easy.

No need to elaborate.

It simply meant to go and die, sacrificing herself for the country. It was called the duty of royalty to protect the people.

How laughable it was.

Acting as if she didn't know their true intentions, they calculated that Hong Bi Yeon would never be able to refuse.

Whish...!

Her hair fluttered in the blowing wind. The cold made her ears and nose go numb.

"Oh my, sister〜 what are you doing here at this hour〜?"
(TS:  just die already.......... f**king b!tch)

By a strange coincidence, she ran into Hong Si Hwa, who was 'passing by'.

Hong Bi Yeon looked at her silently. Whatever made her so cheerful, Hong Si Hwa's steps were as lively as a child's.

"Aren't you cold? What if you catch a cold〜!"

The royal family of Adolveit doesn't catch colds.

Hong Bi Yeon didn't even feel it was worth responding and turned her gaze, but Hong Si Hwa pushed her face into her line of sight.

"Is it right to ignore your sister's advice〜?"

"Just go inside."

"So cold〜"

Thinking it was more annoying to stay there any longer, Hong Bi Yeon decided to move. Her pleasant walk had been interrupted, so she thought it would be better to just sleep peacefully.
(TS: Bi-yeon is kinda foolish, she can just cast her strongest offensive spell on Si-Hwa and say kill me if you have anyone else to absorb the flame. That's a good way to give Si-Hwa at least a life long scar in case Bi-Yeon dies and if she survives; Well, she'd already be untouchable even by the Queen if she survives this trial. win win situation)

"Sister."

Suddenly, Hong Si Hwa lowered her voice, causing Hong Bi Yeon to stop walking.

"...What is it?"

"Why didn't you refuse〜?"

"What a strange question."

She would really die.

All the desperate efforts she had made in her life would crumble in an instant.

Yes, she might have refused if it had been the Bi-Yeon before entering Stella Academy. She couldn't let go of all she had enjoyed and all she could still enjoy.
