Chapter 364

Chapter 150 Red and Black

Frost mist quietly dispersed ahead.

The cold air covered the streets, enveloped the houses, rising over ten meters high, dyeing everything within a hundred meters with a thin layer of frost.

Whoosh—

A chilly breeze suddenly blew, lifting the silver hair at my temples, gently resting on my lips.

I retracted my fist, which was flickering with scarlet flames, and stared blankly at the headless ice body kneeling before me. I watched as it turned to ashes in the cold wind, several black mists rising from the ashes, carrying a faint white light smoke, quickly disappearing into my chest.

Then, my body began to tremble.

“Ugh… mm…”

I closed my eyes, unable to hold back the excited yet stifled moan that escaped from my throat.

“Pepe—”

Someone called out to me from above, a voice as cold as frost, faintly tinged with anxiety. I could tell it was Victoria’s voice.

She woke up…

But she couldn’t see what was happening in the frost mist, and she didn’t dare rush into the area covered by the low temperature… She must be very uneasy inside.

“Hey, little Hill! How are you?”

It’s Carlos…

I opened my mouth, but had no time to respond. My mind was overwhelmed by waves of pleasure, causing me to tightly clench my legs, my face flushed with an unusual redness, and my consciousness gradually becoming hazy.

“Little Charcoal… Little Charcoal!”

Angel’s hazy call grew closer, accompanied by the humming of a miracle, suddenly sounding beside me.

Without hesitation, I slightly opened my eyes, following the sound and punched forward.

“Woah~ It’s me, it’s me!”

Angel hastily dodged to the side, raising his hands in a gesture of surrender, shouting loudly, “Are you trying to kill me? I am the Pope! Calm down, calm down—”

He deliberately acted panicked, but his eyes were calm, undisturbed, glancing at the slowly dispersing ashes with a smile, “Wow, you just took him out… Tsk, I might be in trouble.”

“What does that have to do with me…”

The pleasure in my body gradually faded away. I took a deep breath, but before I could say “nonsense,” a strong drowsiness washed over me.

Hmm…?

Angel… why isn’t he frozen…

My mind started to blur, my thoughts becoming sluggish. My feet began to wobble, and the Angel shrouded in mist in front of me started to appear blurry.

In the next moment, the storm suddenly blew away the frost mist.

Victoria swooped down from the sky, flying ahead, and ignoring the dirty armor on me, she tightly embraced me in her arms amidst Angel’s shocked gaze.

“How are you? Are you hurt anywhere?” she asked.

Even though the frost mist had been blown away, the extremely cold temperature hadn’t dropped much. I lifted my head, gazing at her exquisite face wrapped in a thin layer of frost, sensing the faint tension in her brows, and my heart gradually calmed down.

“Victoria…”

“I’m here.”

“Heretic… wants to kill you…”

“Mm, I know.” Her tone was calm, as if discussing something trivial, “They are all dead.”

“…not even leave two for me…”

“What?”

For a moment, a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes.

“I’m sleepy…”

I buried my head in Victoria’s chest, leaning my entire weight on her, inhaling the sweet fragrance that filled my nose, making it impossible to resist the drowsiness, my eyes closing again.

Consciousness gradually sank.

“Sleep, sleep… little charcoal…”

Vaguely, Angel’s unclear words reached my ears.

“You won’t be in trouble, I’ll take care of the rest…”

These were the last words I heard.

…………

“How is it… any clues…?”

“…None.”

“Strange, the chaotic fire and the sin fire have clearly calmed down… Not to mention how astonishing this is, why won’t she still wake up…”

“Could it be because she consumed too much?”

“I don’t understand…”

Who is speaking…

In a daze, I feel my body burning like fire.

There is light in front of me… It seems like I’m lying somewhere. There’s a man and a woman talking nearby, their voices reaching my ears as if they were an illusion. I want to confirm the situation, but my body feels as heavy as lead, no matter how hard I struggle, I can’t open my eyes…

My head feels dizzy.

Next to me is Angel and… Margaret?

It seems so…

“How able to sleep… like a little pig.”

“To actually eat the medium into her stomach, what was she thinking… And she could even digest it! It’s almost a miracle… Hey, little Margaret, would you use… Hermes…”

…Use what?

Can’t hear clearly…

The body is so heavy…

Forget it, let’s sleep a little longer.

…………

It seems I had a very long dream.

In the dream, there were times of blooming flowers and falling leaves, and times of heavy snowfall. In memory, the little girl who grew up in the dark castle always wore a naive smile on her face, played music for her father, and watched the moon with her mother, but always took advantage of their absence to incite her two older brothers to make a mess of the castle, and never admitted to her mistakes.

But the little girl was actually quite shy.

Only in this castle where everyone spoiled her, facing the people she lived with day and night, the closest group of people, did she dare to be so unrestrained.

The little girl had a kind heart.

She would sneak out of the castle to buy snacks from street vendors and help those in trouble… Although she was young, what she could do was indeed limited. But despite knowing this, she did it day after day, tirelessly.

Because she liked helping others.

She was a member of the most prestigious Valen Empire royal family, but she never acted spoiled because of it. The people in the city all liked her, calling her “the little princess of Santelburg.”

Gradually, the little princess grew up.

She had someone she liked.

That Edward brother who always smiled, brought her different flavored candies every time they met. The little girl liked his smile, as he always brought her a sense of security. That feeling, the innocent little princess didn’t understand, she just liked being with him, secretly looking at his profile, and every time her heart would race.

Later, her father told her that he was the crown prince of the Valen Empire, the first in line to inherit the throne. He, like herself, bore the proud surname of “Winter Moon.” So according to family tradition, Brother Edward would also choose a queen from the “Winter Moon” for himself in the future, to continue the bloodline传承.

The little girl didn’t understand, why she felt so happy when she heard this news.

From then on, she started paying attention to her attire, stopped being mischievous, earnestly learned various noble etiquette from her mother, and every year pestered her father to take her to the palace in Chelis City, so she could talk with Brother Edward for a long time.

She became very obedient to Brother Edward’s words.

Sometimes this led to disagreements with her elder brother, Lafayette, who shared the same parents. But Brother Lafayette was kind-hearted, and would apologize and reconcile soon enough.

The little girl felt very happy.

She thought such happy days would go on forever.

Until that stormy night, Brother Edward deceived her, making her fall into a bottomless cliff, from which she could never climb out.

The little girl didn’t die from the fall.

But those who saved her were demons more terrifying than Edward.
