I Became the Snow Woman I Made

21 – Spiral of Destiny (5)

The seats in the rattling wagon were uncomfortable.

Normally, he would have complained.

However, Artan did not.

“Coachman, speed up.”

Instead, I urged them to hurry up.

The coachman was frightened.

“Yes, yes? It’s fast enough even now. If I hurry more, it might take four months. This wagon was properly maintained in the first place—”

“It’s an order, so don’t spit out.”

You must have already noticed your absence.

It will take a little longer to figure out the destination, but that’s not too far.

The work had to be finished before the guards arrived.

“Ah, I understand…”

The coachman whipped at the prince’s insistence.

Hi-ying- The horses ran close to the pace.

The area around the ruins was bumpy because pioneering had not progressed. The ruins were excavated while construction began on such land.

After running for a while, the ruins were revealed in the distance. A feast of colorful natural disasters.

I was afraid, but more excited and motivated than that. Today, I will achieve the karma of a hero.

“…I will prove that I am not a child.”

So I will make them realize that they are wrong. He was a descendant of a hero who would become an emperor in the future.

I just want to let you know that you have to follow my will. Artan burned her will and glared at the ruins.

“… Huh?”

However, something unexpected happened.

Unexpectedly, the abnormal phenomena that surrounded the ruins were disappearing. It was like pouring water into a sandcastle.

It was a strange thing.

However, Artan understood even that well.

Heaven was helping him. The remains recognized him and opened the way.

He took it seriously and put a smile on his face.

“This… Oh!”

However, life did not go in favor of just one person.

The seat collapsed in an instant with an unpleasant roar. The body suddenly leaned downward and rolled outward.

“What…!”

All you can see is the forest area far below.

My feet were floating in the air, and my vision was spinning.

Falling.

The last thing I saw was a coachman hurriedly running out and a broken wheel rolling on the pavement.

The fall was instantaneous, and the boy, who had no real combat experience, could not respond.

I was lucky enough not to fall from his head, but the shock was by no means small.

“Oops! Keuuk, Kuhuk…!”

It bounced off the bedrock once and hit the bottom straight. An unpleasant sound came from the ribs.

Even after falling, Artan rolled over several times, and his whole body was already in a state of bruises.

The acute pain came belatedly.

It was on a different level from the swordsmanship sparring the knights took care of. It was a real pain with no addition or subtraction.

Artan’s vision was so far away that he couldn’t even groan.

“Kuluck, nu, who…”

His lungs hurt just from breathing, but Artan was definitely not an ordinary kid.

Rather than despair, I asked for help. His bones were broken and his body was out of balance, so he could not escape with magic.

It wouldn’t be strange if he fainted right away when he took out the mana that was restoring his body with all his power.

First crisis. He was obviously afraid, but Artan had no fear.

That’s right, he himself was the crown prince.

In terms of importance, it is within two fingers of this empire. Since he is such a person, help will come immediately.

Because he made such a fuss over a small wound of his own.

······And then, judging by the feeling, 10 minutes passed.

There was still no salvation.

Swallowing his dry breath, Artan realized it only when his body became cold.

He knows what he did.

The knights who supported him unconditionally, the eunuchs he admired, and the guards who always stood by his side.

None of them were here. He gave it all up himself.

There is no one to help you.

When he realized that, he immediately lost his blood. The feeling of fear that I had been trying to avert my eyes from was desperately alive.

Now what is he doing himself?

“·······.”

It was a peaceful life growing up in a greenhouse.

When his fear exceeded his limit, he became rather calm. Artan contemplated his inner self and the current situation from the perspective of others.

Suddenly, self-help leaked out.

“…Which one is strong…”

A powerful shield that protects you. It was a result of luck, not skill.

Because of that, he was even more obsessed with evaluating himself. He didn’t know, but maybe he did, he thought now.

I hated the one-sided protection.

I hated being treated as the weak. But he could tell by looking around a bit.

Why did adults treat him as a child while praising him as a genius?

That’s because he’s a child.

– Immature.

– What?

-That’s what they call a kid like you.

The voice of a childhood friend lingered in my ears.

At that time, she expressed her irritation, but in fact, maybe she was right. Unlike her self, who is said to be a divine genius, her evaluation that she is precocious is dominant.

Why do all mature people view themselves as pathetic? I hated it so much that I clung to the ruins that suddenly came out.

But it was like this.

The misery I felt for the first time in my life.

“Ugh…”

Her eyes flickered for some reason, so Artan lowered her head. Uncharacteristically, she threw her face down and held back her tears.

How long has it been?

I heard footsteps.

“Ah!”

Are you here to save me?

A delighted Artan raised her head.

Right after that, she froze.

“·······.”

Mysterious hair like snow piled up in the sea flutters, and the expressive eyes sparkle.

The first beautiful woman looked down at the prince with a cold gaze.

Artan was a gaze she had never received before.

With the Catalyst in hand, the nearby anomalies disappeared.

It was a matter of course, since all of them were caused by artifacts. With this, the attack was completed.

“Then next.”

I came out because I had nothing to do with the ruins anymore.

It’s time for Artan to come.

She waited for a moment, but her nose was not showing, so she walked in the direction he was coming.

They said that the tiger would come when I said it, and I saw a carriage from afar. It was lousy to be the carriage carrying the prince, but it was certain.

I checked the plan.

“You can’t stop the incident itself.”

According to the record, the wheel of the carriage soon fell off and the prince fell down the slope. If it’s for the purpose of giving grace, it’d be better to save it before then.

There was something Artan himself said later. This incident has had a profound impact on his growth.

Today’s pain was the growing pains of a genius breaking down a wall. Don’t get rid of it

What I have to do is to roughly comfort him after he has finished self-reflection and take him to the vicinity of the imperial castle.

“That’ll do.”

He was a good guy by nature, so he should have felt it with grace.

Soon the wagon collapsed and the situation unfolded as expected.

It was the same as the surprised coachman running away to the other side.

If the crown prince is seriously injured, he will face the death penalty, so he is running away, but Yoo Hae-jin, Artan, takes relief measures.

I moved down the road until I could see him.

“Mmm…”

To be honest, the actions of the prince who suffered the pain of suffering for the first time were unseemly.

Well, those who stand at the top will have their own difficulties…

Seeing him crying anyway, he seemed to have come to a rough realization.

I stumbled and reached in front of him who had collapsed.

I raised my head and our eyes met.

The blonde prince. A rare noun. His front road is solid, so let’s lightly cross his feet.

“Are you…?”

Artan muttered blankly. A surprised expression

I struggled with what to say. What should I say to earn favor?

Then it dawned on him that his goal was a ruin.

“Do you want to explore ruins?”

The tone is a bit cold. It’s okay though.

Because it was to be expected. I just needed to add something.

There was something that caught Artan’s attention…

I took out the Catalyst and showed it to him.

“It’s too late.”

Coldly vomited words.

For a moment, I doubted my mouth and ears.

Is this really what came out of my mouth? It wasn’t usually like this.

More than that, why is the sentence ‘This is a relic’ translated like that!

Artan, who was immersed in the blue light of the crystal, suddenly came to his senses. He straightened his eyebrows.

“What? Are you mocking me now!”

It was a disaster.

Today, Snow Woman’s settings were more out of control than usual. If she goes on like this, she might come here to make Eun-hye and only build up resentment.

I had to put up with it right away.

“You know who I am and say that… What, what!”

If you can’t do it verbally, you can help physically.

A genius idea immediately occurred to him, and he immediately grabbed Artan’s arm.

In that state, it turns into a cumulus cloud and rises upward. The guy who grabbed his arm came along.

“Ooh, ooh! What, let go!”

The guy struggled, but there was nothing he could do with his injured body. Burning other people than that, the mana consumption increased exponentially.

As soon as it fell off, it rose at full speed, and a broken wagon came out.

After settling on her ground, she let go of Artan.

He looked around and muttered to himself as if he was devastated.

“Magic…? Changing the human body into an inorganic substance, something like this…”

His eyes widened.

It was natural to be surprised. The form-changing spell was a difficult skill that was barely developed.

Transformation was not a ‘special ability’ for nothing. It’s because I created a skill that didn’t exist originally and put it on.

In short, Transfiguration is a skill that even court mages cannot do. Compared to its rarity, its performance isn’t that great, but…

At any rate, the surprise seemed to have forgotten the anger. I was relieved in my heart. I couldn’t go back like this.

Then there will be no porridge or rice.

This time, we decided to approach Artan’s worries. No matter what, you need to talk to improve your relationship.

Let’s empathize.

“They say that plants in a greenhouse die if they go outside.”

The low words were a bit aggressive.

The moment he was embarrassed by the thought, Artan opened his eyes wide. He clenched his fists.

Her hand trembled.

“…That might be right.”

He bit his lip and shook his fist.

“But who are you to say that? What do you know about me!”

Tender eyes like buds looked straight at me. There was no more frustration and regret in his eyes.

There was a glimpse of heat and vitality.

Ah, for some reason, it wasn’t a bad reaction. I decided to go further.

“A person born in a greenhouse has one of two paths.”

I stretched out my thin, white fingers.

···It’s strange to express it like this, but what should I do with my hand?

“One is a way to live a life different from weeds. Noble and rich. Unscathed and unstomped.”

A beautiful voice resounded like jade marbles rolling.

Artan listened intently and waited for the next words.

Second.

“A way to do nothing without a greenhouse.”

My words were not long.

However, the effect was clear.

The expression of Artan, who was in a state of disrepair, fit perfectly with the expression of being stunned.

“Which side are you on?”

He finished his words more coldly than ever.

Today was a rare day when I talked a lot. Let’s make a note of it.

It seems that Artan was hit in the head, and it was the same bizarre face that got enlightenment.

It was dangerous, but the hurdle was over.

At this rate, my presence should have been planted sufficiently.

Wouldn’t he always think of me later when he recalls the incident that became his foundation?

You will naturally want to repay the favor, right?

Although not perfect, he managed to build a kite. Now all you have to do is take them to the vicinity of the imperial castle.

The moment I was about to break my luck, I heard the sound of many footsteps.

“… Huh?”

At first, I thought it was the guards near the ruins or the guards who followed Artan.

Looking back, what I saw in my eyes was a group of black people.

All of them with sunken eyes did not look like imperial soldiers.

Ominousness slowly rose.

As we were trying to figure out who we were, a person came forward. It was a surprisingly familiar face.

She was impressive with short purple hair… She was a mysterious and powerful person.
