Chapter 118

Windsor Castle is white.

Although it was not the original design, it had a frozen appearance. That’s what happened after being in the snowy field for a long time.

Of course, with Windsor’s wealth and talent, he could have made Windsor Castle as cold as it was...

but since the extreme cold of the snowy field was not a hindrance to the child of the Windsor family, he was neglected and neglected until now.

The owner of the frozen castle was sitting on a throne that only the duke could sit on.

She was wearing a black dress, and her bright blonde hair reached below her waist. There was a silver tiara on her head.

Victoria Windsor.

He is the 6th Duke and the most powerful of all Windsors.

Maybe that’s why her children were also born with extraordinary talents.

Victoria Windsor gave a disapproving look.

I don’t enjoy sitting on the throne because I don’t like the empty feeling. He was not an emperor in the first place, and this type of authority was not suitable for a northern grand duke.

But today was a day when it was necessary. This is because ‘Irene Windsor’, who was none other than his successor and eldest daughter, abandoned the first line of defense without a sense of responsibility and followed her younger sister.

“Irene.”

“yes. “Matriarch.”

Irene, prostrate in front of Victoria, was smiling.

Victoria usually likes the look of her successor who keeps a smiling face no matter what happens, but when she saw it again today, her outfit changed.

“Don’t laugh.”

Irene’s face became expressionless.

“...it’s a joke.”

“yes.”

Irene smiled brightly again.

“What happened... I’m sorry.”

And Irene hit the player and quickly apologized.

“No matter how much you have the authority to act independently, protecting the first line of defense is important.”

“yes. sorry.”

“....”

Victoria remained silent and looked at Irene.

‘...What should I say?’

Actually, I was very angry.

There was a lot to say.

But when I said I was sorry, I was at a loss for words.

To be precise, it is difficult to know how to speak as a ‘peacock’.

Victoria was a duke.

He was the leader who protected this vast northern region.

If you don’t make the right decision, you will be in a position where you will have to deal with the worst outcome in half a day.

That’s why Victoria had to maintain her body.

Even if there were family problems, I couldn’t talk about them carelessly.

Rather than being a good mother to her three adorable children, she had to be an icy peacock.

The reality is that I cannot see my youngest son, whom I miss so much, often.

But, but...

“How can a successor be faithful only to his own desires?”

How could the heir who was supposed to inherit the position of head of the family act like this?

Why wouldn’t you want to see it as yourself?

I would touch the crystal ball several times a day, wanting to at least see Luid’s face.

That’s why Victoria was angry.

Just today, I was preparing to say something to Irene.

But when I actually saw Irene’s face... I couldn’t scold her.

Because Irene is precious?

Of course it is precious. But it wasn’t like this.

The reason I lost my anger was for another reason.

When I saw Irene’s face, it felt real. Soon, my youngest son and only son, Ruid, whom I love dearly, will come.

The corners of my mouth are twitching and I can’t stand it.

“It’s okay, Irene. “There would be no use telling you this.”

“Xavier, thank you.”

“The reason I called you an hour early was actually for another reason.”

Victoria slightly closed her eyes.

“There’s something I don’t want neither Louis nor Amelia to know. “From now on, keep what I say to yourself.”

“Finally, it’s war.”

“Yes, it is war.”

Victoria nodded quietly.

Irene’s smile deepened.

“I will go down to the islands right now and kill the emperor first.”

“...?”

Victoria blinked.

And my complexion got worse.

He said, wiping his face.

“...War is with monsters.”

“It was a joke.”

Victoria sighed.

“They say the monsters’ movements have been unusual recently.”

“What line of defense are you talking about?”

“entire.”

Irene’s eyebrows twitched ever so slightly.

“You mean everything?”

“We need to watch the trend a little more to find out, but for now, the most likely thing is ‘catastrophe.’”

“I heard it happened once 150 years ago. There would still be 50 years left....”

“You never know. It’s still just a sign. “Will we invade in 50 years as scheduled?”

The so-called ‘catastrophe’ refers to a wave of monsters that occurs approximately once every 200 years.

According to records, each time, the North suffered devastating damage.

It doesn’t stop in the north. When the ‘Great Disaster’ begins, there are monsters with numbers and strength that are incomparable to usual, and Windsor cannot completely stop them.

Inevitably, we miss a few. Of course, ground monsters are not missed, but the problem is flying monsters.

“But you definitely have to be prepared. “It is difficult to conclude that the cycle of a great disaster is 200 years, because it has only happened twice in history.”

“Ah, I’m not mentally ready yet...”

She stood up and wandered around.

“Should I prepare dinner first? Would it be a good idea to come pick you up? Ah, no, what should I say first?”

Irene smiled brightly at Victoria, who couldn’t come to her senses whenever the topic of Ruid came up.

**

“Are you okay, Hersi?”

“Yes... I wonder if it would be okay to waste magical power like this even before the fight.”

Hersi was surrounded by the magic of the wind. It was somehow holding on by warming the air between the double curtains of wind.

In this condition, it will be able to withstand extreme cold for quite some time.

But the problem is....

“A total of 17 people have no measures against the cold, Captain!”

Amelia groaned in response to Gilbert’s report.

‘What should I do... I can’t even go if it continues like this.’

It was okay because I could get an artifact that could prevent the cold if I went to the first defense line, but the problem was how to get there.

“...By the way, Ella, what have you been doing since a while ago?”

Hersy asked Ella, who was sitting on the floor and scribbling something in her eyes.

Ella was the only one who wasn’t cold. Her face was a little red, but she seemed fine even without magic.

“Ah, Hercy.”

Ella said with a puppy-like face.

“We were developing efficient temperature control magic.”

“...Temperature control magic?”

“I saw Ruid using it. However, the horsepower was a problem to use as is, so it was being improved. “It’s almost finished. Would you like to see it?”

Hercy looked at the magic circle.

“...uh?”

I opened my eyes wide.

As Ella said, it was a magic that could be used with just a little magical power.

“No, that’s ridiculous. “You made this on the spot?”

“Yes!”

Ella raised one hand and shouted brightly.

‘...genius.’

Hercy swallowed hard.

Amelia came up from behind.

“Hercy. “Have you found a way?”

“...yes. I developed a magic without Ella. “At this level, anyone can use it.”

Amelia brightened, then her eyes became worried again.

“Most of the 17 people who do not have measures against the cold are members of the swordsmanship club.”

“Don’t worry about that! “Amelia.”

Ella stood up.

Amelia looked up at Ella, who was one size taller than her.

‘...I think I’d be better suited as a knight than a wizard.’

The skeleton was that of a typical female knight.

“This spell is total magic. “With Hercy’s magical power, it will be possible.”

“greatness.”

Hercy cleared her throat and blushed.

“That’s because the magic I used in training yesterday didn’t come back.”

Amelia spoke confidently.

“hmm. Then we just have to wait until then.”

Because Amelia was simple.

Hercy said, smiling awkwardly.

“...There is a way.”

“It would be better if we could go right away, Hersi. However, there is no need to overdo it.”

Hercy shook his head.

“It’s not unreasonable. It’s just... there’s someone other than me who can make this magic happen.”

“Has there been anyone else in the Ministry of Magic with such outstanding skills?”

“yes. “It’s not that strong because of its low application ability, but there is a kid who is born with magical power.”

Hercy sighed weakly and looked somewhere.

“Sophia Queensberry. “Could you please come this way?”

“Sophie, Hersy is calling.”

Justin said, looking at Sophia.

“Ah, uh, yes.”

Lilith timidly got up.

I tucked my short hair behind my ear and walked towards Hersi with a shy smile.

But her eyes were fixed on Amelia Windsor next to her.

Brilliant blonde.

It had an appearance that reminded me of someone.

Is it because the same blood flows? Amelia seemed very attractive to Lilith.

She chanted a powerful wish in her heart.

‘Please wait a moment. ‘My husband.’

Lilith. No, Sophia barely suppressed the laughter that was about to escape.
