【Chapter 162】

I held the baby lizard in one arm while raising my other arm toward the sky.

‘If I make it snow across this entire island, my brothers’ ice abilities might become even stronger!’

As I put strength into my palm that seemed to touch the sky, invisible energy gathered in one place, and soon dark clouds began to creep into my vision.

Then white snowflakes touched my nose and began falling heavily.

Good. With this much, Lucas and Sedric should be able to fight with more strength,

“No, Aisha-!”

That’s when it happened.

Along with Lucas’s sharp scream, my view of the heavy snow was covered by shadows.

“Finally found you.”

“…?”

I blinked my eyes in the sudden darkness.

I don’t know when he arrived, but Aebin was standing in front of me, showing his pure white teeth in a broad smile.

“Hello, Aisha.”

Contrary to his lean frame, lean muscles were positioned on broad shoulders that seemed like they could swallow me whole.

In his slightly sharper features, I could glimpse that same smile from 10 years ago.

“Didn’t you miss seeing me?”

He was different from 10 years ago, yet still the same.

…Of course, if there’s one thing that hasn’t changed, it’s that I don’t like Aebin?

“…Since we’re enemies, shouldn’t we avoid seeing each other?”

“Why?”

“If a situation arises where we see each other’s faces, it would be a situation like this where we’re fighting or you’re trying to kidnap me…?”

“Ah. Kidnapping.”

Then I heard what sounded like a realization from across the way.

“I see. Not many people like being kidnapped.”

…I knew he was close to being crazy, but his surprised reaction as if he didn’t know I’d hate being kidnapped was absurd.

After pondering thoughtfully, he smiled brightly and asked back.

“Then how about this?”

“What…?”

“While I take you to Doctia, think of it as taking a little nap and waking up.”

Hmm.

“You’ll dream a little and when you wake up, we’ll be there in no time.”

“If it’s a dream with you, would it be a nightmare?”

“What? Hahaha!”

I said it to annoy him, but he burst into laughter as if it was amusing.

He seemed ready to find it funny and counter even if I cursed at him.

‘Should I actually try it?’

I’d rather make him sick of me and lose interest.

I was pondering how to get rid of this leech-like bastard when suddenly a much softer voice rang out seductively.

“It might be a nightmare at first. But after just a few days.”

And his large hand, having withdrawn its poisonous aura, began approaching me.

“I’ll take such good care of you that you’ll think you never want to wake up for the rest of your life…”

“You speak such crazy words so nicely.”

That’s when his fingers drew close as if to caress my cheek.

Aebin’s voice, which had been soft but bitter like chocolate, was cut off by someone.

The last time I blinked, Aebin had lowered his upper body as if trying to avoid something, his smile erased.

And a firm arm pulled my waist.

“…?”

I blinked as I was instantly lifted into the air.

I was held in an embrace so massive it was on a different dimension from my brothers and Aebin.

A firm yet cozy feeling.

It felt like crouching in a safe cave where no one could harm me.

“Aisha.”

When I raised my head at the familiar voice, piercingly cold red eyes were looking down at me.

“Thank you for spreading the snowstorm across the entire island. Thanks to that, I was able to find your location.”

It was Father.

And without giving me a chance to answer, he set me down and disappeared in an instant.

No, it was closer to leaping.

Crack-

Small ice crystals left along his fast trajectory sprayed coolly onto my face.

Watching that, I had to admire once again.

If Lucas and Sedric before were closer to skillfully manipulating ice-

Callipus was sharp ice itself.

“…Haha, I don’t know how you got here, but isn’t it too much for an adult to interfere in children’s fights?”

Aebin tried to avoid with an ambiguous smile, but Callipus was faster.

Aebin avoided his sword but couldn’t overcome the grip strength that mercilessly grabbed his ankle.

Callipus showed no mercy.

As soon as he grabbed Aebin’s ankle, he immediately slammed him to the ground.

“Ugh….”

Only then did his face, which had been playful all along, crumple in pain.

At that moment when the tide seemed to have turned.

“…Bastards worse than insects.”

Callipus quietly spat out curses with a face full of killing intent.

A faint magic circle began to be drawn on the ground centered on Aebin.

‘Did he cast magic?’

My confusion was brief.

What had been emitting a weak light became intense as if to swallow Aebin, and eventually made his existence disappear without a trace.

Magic of this level would be ability comparable to Grace’s skills.

How on earth did they recruit such a magician.

But my thoughts stopped there.

‘Sedric, where’s Sedric?’

Worried he might have disappeared with Aebin, I quickly raised my head to look for him.

But he was just collapsed where he had been standing earlier.

At his fingertips was a half-drunk potion bottle that had fallen…

“Sedric!”

I turned pale instantly and jumped up to run to him where he had collapsed.

What Sedric had drunk was a suicide potion.

The same spy potion I had tried to drink when I was 5 years old.

* * *

Sedric thought this was good enough.

He had launched a preemptive attack while Aebin was off guard and fought to buy time.

Unexpectedly, he encountered Aisha and Lucas’s group, but Lucas was also quite skilled.

He thought that no matter how formidable Aebin was, they could subdue him with two ability users.

But their abilities seemed to fall slightly short of Aebin’s obsession.

Aebin ran unconditionally only toward Aisha without even thinking of avoiding Sedric and Callipus’s attacks.

Because of that, blood flowed on his cheek and he nearly suffered a major arm injury-

But in the end, he approached right in front of Aisha.

Seeing her figure hidden behind that massive back, Sedric felt despair.

He had failed.

Both his final mission and his first ‘real’ choice made with doubt.

When everyone thought all had failed, a massive shadow snatched Aisha away.

The man looked like he was staring into a mirror.

Flowing black hair and red eyes.

Even the characteristic indifferent yet murderous gaze contained in those eyes was identical.

And by the time he reached the conclusion that this man was his father, Callipus, he had already subdued Aebin.

‘…He’s certainly strong.’

That was his only impression of his father after seeing him for so long.

Soon, Sedric slowly took out a potion while watching a magic circle being summoned around Aebin.

That magic circle was a forced summoning spell placed on ability users belonging to the Kingdom of Doctia.

During mission execution, if activated when judged to be in a dangerous situation, it would automatically summon them into the royal palace.

But Sedric had no intention of returning to Doctia again.

Having failed his mission and even committed treason, he wouldn’t be able to avoid execution.

The Kingdom of Doctia didn’t welcome spies who couldn’t fulfill their duties, no matter how capable they were.

It was natural since they were useless.

Even if he had planned to sacrifice his own life to protect Aisha and Lucas, he hadn’t achieved that either.

Anyway, it was enough that the two of them survived.

The last reason he had faintly held onto for staying alive disappeared like a candle being extinguished.

Sedric opened the bottle cap and drank it down.

Then he looked at Lucas.

He was looking bewildered at the spot where Aebin had disappeared and approaching his father.

‘I’m glad that guy didn’t follow Ariena.’

If Lucas had sided with Ariena like that, it would have been difficult to see those sparkling eyes.

“Lucas.”

Immediately, his head turned toward Sedric.

He had called his brother thinking he should say something before dying, but no particular words came to mind.

“Live for a long time. You seem to have many reasons to live.”

So, for the first time, he wished for someone’s well-being.

His gradually darkening vision was dyed with darkness.

Sedric fell into a deep sleep without hearing Aisha’s scream calling his name.

* * *

And several days later.

He had thought he was dead.

Sedric’s thought process momentarily stopped as his eyelids suddenly opened.

‘…Where is this?’

At least he couldn’t see the characteristically ornate ceiling of the Doctia Royal Palace or sunlight bright enough to hurt his eyes.

Then this place wasn’t Doctia.

“…”

Opening his eyes, he stared intently at the monotonously colored ceiling.
