32-2. The unmelting heart of the North.
A huge snow mountain fills the field of view in pure white, as if drawn with a brush, and the sky is covered with snowflakes.
A white breath began to come out of his mouth every time he exhaled.
When we got off the boat in the north, people with bear ears and thick fur appeared around us.
“Welcome to Sangvis Land! Everyone!”
A moderate movement, as if several people move together as one.
Contrary to the Imperial Guard, they are not knights with swords, but warriors with strong muscles who look like soldiers with spears.
‘Are they the escort guarding the princess in the north? I’ve heard of it.’
There is also the Imperial Guard, but without the troops protecting Sophitia, it would be a rather pointless situation.
As if everything had been matched, the bear pattern caught my eye on the black outfit.
“hahahaha!! It’s really cold here!!”
“Licht…. Watch your step…”
Pine holding my hand tight. Unlike me, who suffers from cold hands and feet, these are warm hands. Are your hands cold if you have a kind heart? It was all bullsh*t.
“I’m fine now. Blood.”
I felt a sense of wonder when I saw northerners who looked strong because they lived in the rough terrain.
‘..This is the land of iron blood, Caprostia.’
The Pillar Westerners also said that they would live similarly to northerners and eat chicken breasts and go to the gym in real life. The real madness was right.
I shouldn’t live like that. It would be normal enough for me.
It’s common in game subcultures to be a beta tester to save your favorite character.
“Loyalty to Caprostia!”
“His Highness Coldheart is coming!”
It was then. As they lined up and left the center empty, there was a woman who proudly stepped out into the middle.
“Hello. My name is Sophitia Coldheart, who currently leads the North.”
She, too, wore a black uniform and cape, and was black from head to toe. It’s almost identical to the illustration that the Northern Grand Duchess’s husband showed me.
“Thank you so much for coming to reinforce yourself from the Grancia Empire—.”
Sophitia Cold Heart.
She is the daughter of one of the Ten Great Princes of the Northern Kingdom, and she has animal ears like Fine.
A black-haired woman with bear ears and a ponytail.
The owner of the north, who is more famous among the players by the nickname of ‘Northern Great Bear’, looked in our direction and made a surprised expression.
“Pine..? Didn’t I hear you were coming here?”
“..Hello, Sophie.”
Because of that, she almost tripped on her rock as she approached her with her high-heeled shoes again.
“Your Highness Cold Heart!! Are you okay!!”
Her
She barely supported her body with the spear she was holding, she took a deep breath as she grabbed her startled chest. It’s because, in her situation, a person with power suddenly appeared.
“I-I…. It’s okay.”
“…”
The atmosphere was released in an instant. When Sophitia looked at Fine with her strange eyes, she then began to agitate even the northerners who looked like her escort.
“I told you not to call me by that nickname… Pine.”
“But Sophie is Sophie.”
To sum up the Grand Duchess, it should be said that she is the second-class student in the school for 10,000 years. She’s always been told by a pillar western guy that she can’t beat the imperial family.
However, the Empire and the North knew each other like a vassal and a king, so it was fitting that Fine and Sophitia knew each other.
‘Then this must have been forgotten through ignorance.’
As soon as I guessed the atrocities of the demon lords, the anger grew even more fierce inside. If that’s enough, you could have left your friend alone.
“How did you get to the North? Fine Grancia.”
“..Follow the stupid dog.”
Pine raises her arms slightly with her hands connected to appeal that I am that doggie. Being a wolf is cooler and better than being a dog.
“You really are the same.”
From noble mtl dot com
The Grand Duchess of the North complained of a headache as she squeezed between her brows.
Our Fine is a bit like the fourth dimension. A girl with bear ears approached me before I knew it.
“So.. Is this person Licht?”
Eyes like blue ice stared at me. It’s the first time I’ve actually seen it.
Even in the game, the North planned to run away when Rufus inherited the Emperor’s seat later.
“Did you subdue the Demon Lord of Battery?”
“Yes, Your Highness Coldheart.”
A woman looking up at me and looking around. I fixed my gaze on the sky because the Pillar West guy would try to kill me if he found out.
“Are you wearing a helmet for combat? Licht.”
“..Similar.”
If you tell me that you can’t take it off, you can lift your face mask like Fine. Try to avoid flags as much as possible.
A hidden talent who hides his face? Anyone could see that it was easy to get involved with the heroines. Also, it was a cliché to fall in love with someone who saw your face.
Well, I think they’ll hate it because of my burn marks, but at least there shouldn’t be a harem or NTR.
“Okay. Pass.”
Besides, I’m not even sure if this person is pretty in the first place. Our Fine must be so pretty. Like Ariel, Sophitia is just a potato rolling around.
“You look quite usable. Do you want to fight the northerners?”
Actually, my eyes are single-minded, so it might be that I can’t tell the difference. I didn’t understand when I saw the Heroine World Cup that was often posted in the game community.
“Depending on the outcome, join our escort….”
The Grand Duchess of the North couldn’t finish her words. It was because someone had installed a master piece and stood in front of me and her grand duchess. Increased height and size in an instant.
“Don’t touch mine. Sophitia.”
The glass knight warned the Grand Duchess while squinting at the golden eyes in her helmet. Master Drake looked at the scene and let out a “Oh…” Sound,
“Pine? I’m sure you’re covering a man.”
Sophitia watched the scene and curled her eyes as if she was interested in something. Oh sh*t I’m afraid of being flagged.
“Princess, it’s a public place no matter what.”
“But.. But.. That Gomtang is going to snatch Licht first….”
Fine looked anxiously at me and the princess alternately. Calm down. Bloody I have nowhere to go leaving you alone
“Princess Grancia. I gave my body and soul to the Empire.”
“Oh, that’s true..”
“I will never leave your side.”
“Okay.. Licht. I will believe you.”
After hearing my confirmation, the princess lifted her glass armor. And the shocking remarks that follow.
“..Rich will join my bodyguard. Don’t even think about overdoing it. Sophitia.”
Pine, can you actually speak properly? Like the last time, it must have been the princess of a country. The personality that you do when you are sure of your assertiveness.
It was confirmed that I would join the SS without my consent. When did she come up with this idea?
Of course, it’s a long story to welcome her with arms raised if she wants. Until our platinum wolf is black.
“But the Royal Guard is chosen by His Majesty, right? Blood.”
Seeing the princess like that, it was Sophitia who put her chin in her hand and asked a question. Like the Pillar Western guy, this guy must be a pretty strategic character.
“It doesn’t matter. It’s because I can arbitrarily name it Black Wolf.”
“Princess, no matter how much, this is not the case.”
Fine doesn’t give up on her own creed. It was she who reattached to me, crossed her arms, and wrapped her tail around her legs.
“No, me and Licht are connected. There is no talent like him as an escort.”
Please don’t say things that others will misunderstand. Because the magic circuit is connected, it’s about where each other is,
[Pine, why are you doing this? Princess Sophitia misunderstands you.]
I don’t know why she’s obsessed with me, even though it’s a simple relationship where she secretly uses telephony magic. The affinity level will hit the bottom, and the love level will be 2%.
[You can’t help but side with a girl other than me..? Richt?]
Besides, she’s like a game, she’s not even a nameless saint, so she wouldn’t have been able to build a proper love story. Did something happen while I was down?
[..Licht, wait and see if you return to the Empire.]
Awkward. The pressure of her tail around her legs intensified. Even if I’m specializing in demon lords, I think this is a bit harsh.
[If you keep doing that, I won’t pat you on the head.]
[…]
No matter how much I think about it, I can’t see the pink air that Fine likes me. I should have read a lot of romance novels.
Fine Grancia is also the owner of a very pretty beauty that doesn’t match me, and I don’t know if it’s a virtual game, but now it’s no different from reality.
It doesn’t lead to good results no matter how much you like someone.
“Anyway… Licht belongs to our Empire. Sophitia.”
When I told her not to stroke her hair, she barely tempered her remarks.
“Pine, the human mind is all driven by money.”
Seeing such a scene, the Grand Duchess of the North sighed in amazement. Her white breath gushed out, and something shiny flew in front of me.
‘..Imperial gold coins?’
Like when practicing shadow slashing, there were too many people around to pull out the iron sword at the waist, so I caught all the gold coins flying by with my hands.
“It is beyond my imagination. I’m sure you’ll catch this Seriously, I blew it.”
The Grand Duchess of the North threw several coins to test me. It’s been five years since I’ve been working under Master Drake. This much is a piece of porridge.
“You are definitely a competent person. Do you really want to work for our Caprostia?”
The Grand Duchess smiles like a fox while saying that the gold coins I caught are advance payments.
I absolutely hate it. Is there any chance that a pillar westerner will break into the door of our house in real life?
“I will refuse….”
And our Fine could have been beaten because of you. At the moment when bitter water rose from the inside and tried to say no,
“Richt… doesn’t like a barren land like you.”
Fine Grancia said as she crossed her arms tightly and pressed my arm into a huge lump.
It’s very soft. It feels like all the blood in my body is boiling. Reason is clamoring. Help me.
“So you’re a wolf, but you gained unnecessary weight.”
“Better than not having a single blade of grass like the North.”
Actually, compared to the imperial princess, the Northern Grand Duchess is on a flat level. A barren chest with nothing like what he said now.
“Is it really so? Pine, aren’t all eyes on money the same?”
“Hey, Sophitia. Richt is different.”
Why does a pillar westerner like this? No matter how much she had to understand my tastes, I would believe her even if she was dressed as a man.
“..Perverted dogs like this more.”
That’s true. No, I like you because you are. Bloody Even if it’s big, it’s because it’s a person I like.
‘In the first place, I don’t think anything of Ariel or the Heavenly Demon.’
This was the reason why the pillar westerners always made fun of me for calling me a saint fetish, not a busty fetish. If you twist her, maybe she’ll gather more of her true skills.
“If that’s what you mean, I’ll just give up. Sorry for trying.”
After seeing Fine’s firm determination, the grand princess slightly loosens her expression as if it was as she expected.
“Let’s go in first. Bloody Inside, Asha Aureus-sama is waiting for you.”
She gave a small nod of her head as if she noticed the gap between me and Fine, and moved her steps inside, her dark black hair waving.
