Chapter 186
With the strong recommendation of her mother Kim Yun-ha. Kim Eun-ah has been self-managing through Pilates since middle school.
In addition, to Kim Eun-ah, who also did yoga, even difficult stretching was a very familiar exercise for others.
“Heh heh. Eunah. i want to stop But,
for Amy, who has the flexibility of a log, this kind of exercise is like torture. Thanks to that, I didn’t even do aerobic exercise, but Amy was sitting in her seat, gasping for breath.
“It’s 30 minutes, what are you doing?”
“This is enough exercise. I want to go back to the clubhouse… I want something sweet to drink… Something like fruit milk made by Sumire!”
Amy, whose face was flushed from how hard it was, complained, but Kim Eun-ah couldn’t hear it.
‘He took revenge on the Shin-O family… and broke the tower up to the 9th floor… It’s all over, but why the hell isn’t he coming!?’
It was only natural that Kim Eun-ah was already hooked on Shin Yoo-seong’s message.
[Shin Yuseong: I’m sorry everyone. I think I should stay in Italy for a bit longer.]
The news of Yoosung Shin’s attack on Sardonyx had already spread far and wide throughout Korea as well as Gaon.
So, Kim Eun-ah thought Shin Yoo-seong would come back even tomorrow. Shin Yoo-seong has not yet returned to Korea.
‘Italy…is that fun?’
Kim Eun-ah was dissatisfied.
He has been waiting all day for Shin Yoo-seong to return. Shin Yoo-seong said he would stay in Italy a little longer even after the raid was over.
‘Doesn’t the party members want to see it?’
Kim Eun-ah felt sad in many ways.
‘…We miss you so much.’
Swoop –
Kim Eun-a flexibly raised one leg and then sent her arm behind her, wrapping it like a cylinder.
Kim Eun-ah’s expression is full of disapproval even though she tries to pretend to be okay.
‘Just come for real.’
Kim Eun-ah, who had not seen Shin Yoo-seong for several days, was very upset.

A cafe in Volterra.
Aden laughed bitterly as he sat on a wooden chair and sipped his tea.
‘…is it too late? Is it too fast?’
Louise, the Witch of Winter.
She, who was the disaster of Volterra, disappeared, but Ruin Castle still remains. If you think about it, it was strange that the association didn’t get rid of it. Ruin Castle is a symbol of disgrace to Volterra and the Association. Why didn’t the castle, which is just a dungeon, get rid of?
But Ruin Castle had a good reason, and Aden had hidden that reason from Adela.
that you will forget with time.
The wounds of childhood will gradually recover. Because I believed so.
‘But I’m sure it was my stupid idea. If I truly love my granddaughter…even if it hurts. It’s something I shouldn’t hide from that child.’
But Aden had one final stubbornness that he would never give up.
At some point Adela will greet you.
Arden didn’t want Adela to be alone. I could no longer see Adela as lonely as she had been walking alone in the winter of Volterra.
That was to open Aden’s torn heart twice.
‘…however. This time the child is there.’
He’s kinder than anyone Aden has ever seen. A hunter with an upright heart. The only Hunter Adela recognized. That’s why Aden wanted to have Shin Yuseong by Adela’s side.
[I’ll tell you how. I also have a request for student Shin Yoo-seong.]
[Can Adela accompany me when I clear the 10th floor of the tower?] [
I’ll need Adela’s power to infuse the egg with cold air and get a refrigerant from Ruin Castle. . It’s not an unreasonable request.]
It was an extension of Adela’s traits and even trying to attach Shinyuseong to Adela by mentioning the tower.
‘Please no more of that child. May you not be hurt.’
This is not a legendary hunter.
‘…please. I hope you will be happier as much as the hard times.’
A wish as an incompetent grandfather.
Aden put down the teacup and looked at the distant scenery by the window with a bitter face.

“It is an area where the general public cannot enter. This place is allowed to enter the bereaved families of the hunters who participated in the Lewis attack and some managers.”
After a short explanation, the official said that the reason Adela was able to enter was because she had the surname of ‘Ortensia’.
Adela’s steps were heavy, like wet cotton.
one step.
two steps.
Every time I took my feet off the floor, it felt like a mysterious swamp was swallowing my feet bit by bit.
“Adela. It will be out soon.”
At that time, Shin Yoo-seong’s voice came from the side. Adela was still expressionless, but nodded with a pale face.
“…thank you.”
“Is it me who should give thanks?”
Yoosung Shin smiled at Adela. Adela was embracing the dragon’s egg and giving it coldness in case the heat of the egg would intensify.
It looks easy, but it consumes mana and sanity. Still, Adela shook her head.
“no. …This is pretty simple for me. And for you, I decided to get help when clearing the 10th floor of the tower.”
that buck that buck
how long did it take
Deep in the forest of Volterra.
In this land full of life of vegetation, I saw a landscape far from reality.
frozen lake.
A beautiful ice castle built on it.
Adela groaned in the unrealistically white landscape.
“Really…”
Adela, who was holding the dragon’s egg, unknowingly tightened her arms. The hot heat felt from the egg.
Let Adela wince. Yoosung Shin put his hand on Adela’s shoulder.
“Can I come in?”
Shin Yoo-seong’s somewhat meaningful question.
Adela still fixed her eyes on the ice castle and opened her mouth.
“…you. Do you know?”
“any.”
Italy’s Volterra.
What happened to Adela, who was 5 years old. What does this ice castle Lewis created mean to Adela?
“I heard from Lord Aden.”
Shin Yoo-seong knew.
“But Adela. My question is out of consideration. I wanted to hear your choices myself.”
I had to face this kind of scenery and now come and make a choice. Adela smiled lightly at the story that was so divine.
“…okay.”
Then Adela put the egg she was holding in her pocket.
“I will go in.”
Bubbly.
Adela takes a few deep breaths and slowly advances toward the ice castle.
profit.
The huge door opened and blue light poured from the ice castle. It was only then that the true nature of the ice castle, which was as beautiful as a handicraft on the outside, revealed itself.
Just like the warriors who became stone statues after seeing Medusa’s face. Adela saw the statues of hunters frozen in Louis’ cold.
“…This.”
A frozen flower was placed in front of the statue.
[Belitan Angelon]
[My proud senior. My hero who became the star of Volterra.]
The memories of those who did not forget their courage to protect Volterra were engraved.
thud. thump.
A heart that starts beating fast.
Adela’s feet stopped.
I had to open the door and continue through the corridor, but Adela stood there, as if rooted.
In Adela’s head, questions were being resolved one by one.
Why did this ice castle, a symbol of shame for Volterra, not disappear until now?
It was to not forget.
Because we can’t repeat their sacrifices and damages to free Volterra.
The fact that the association did not demolish this ice castle meant to remember and carry on their spirit.
Then Aden.
Why didn’t his grandfather tell the existence of Ruin Castle?
Adela had an intuition of what was to come. body froze My feet didn’t move anymore.
Yet Adela did not have the courage to face the truth.
