I am a master of light novels in Japan

"Oops! Could it be..."

Li Yan felt cold all over thinking of this.

He immediately turned around, ignoring the doubts of some people at the banquet about this phenomenon, and ran in the direction where Rachel Miyamoto had left before.

At the beginning, some maids could be seen in the palace, but Li Yan hurriedly rushed in and ran towards the depths of the palace, and felt the air's chill grow stronger.

Gradually, the palace inside seemed wrong.

As winter came at the same instant, a piece of white snow had accumulated in the corridors and courtyards of the deep palace. Li Yan’s clothes were already warm enough, but he was gradually running, covered by the cold wind. Unexpectedly, the self-righteous royal knights in the palace could not be seen alone, but the more they ran toward the cold center, the human form that was frozen into an ice sculpture and shattered to the ground was seen. At this moment, the guard had no way of parrying power, so he was killed by the power of the ice dragon Orasia.

"It's really miserable..."

Li Yan looked at this group of corpses and couldn't help thinking.

The palace area seems to have restrictions on authority, and the guards in other places may not have noticed what happened here.

[Suddenly!!

At the end of the dark corridor, the endless cold wind was blowing on Li Yan whose hair and clothes were covered with snow. Standing in the cold wind, he once again saw the huge dragon hunting giant carried by the royal knight. The crossbow, and the dragon hunting sword that was frozen like a sculpture in the snow.

"..."

Li Yan hesitated.

The strong wind was blowing his generous clothes, and he was standing among the knights who died in battle, looking at the sword.

Not long ago, he had reached a peace agreement with Niederhogg, which happened to be the case. Li Yan is not clear about the situation, but the ice dragon Olassia must not be separated from Miyamoto Rachel if he enters here. He once again drew his great sword, and finally worked hard to win the peace agreement with Niederhogg, but it was completely ashes...

Niederhogg, not as incomprehensible as he thought.

That sweet and gentle, in the moonlight, she pressed her hat with one hand, and the dim impression of smiling at him still flashed in her mind.

but……

Li Yan stretched out his hand and grasped the hilt of this sharp-edged sword against the evil dragon. With a strange force, he took this great sword out of the ice and snow.

In short, he did not think that the horror in front of him would be as easy to talk to Niederhogg.

Humans are this kind of creature. If you fight against creatures that you can’t communicate with, your mentality will be much easier. However, after passing through Niederhogg’s ditch, dancing, and meeting, this time when he raised his sword, Li Yan didn’t. It’s like that before, if you don’t know why, it’s as cold as this ice and snow in your heart...

The ice dragon Olasia crouched in the pile of ice and snow, and the slender tail had already rolled up Miyamoto's whole body.

[This time, I must not make any more mistakes...]

The ice dragon's voice murmured with a strange persistence.

It is now entrenched on the third floor of the palace, at the gate of the princess's palace, in this huge corridor, inside a knight like an ice sculpture, surrounded by snow and cold, bitterly cold.

[Lord Princess, I don’t want to hurt your life, this is my lord Niederhogg’s orders, please come out and surrender...]

The ice dragon Olasia whispered to the princess who was keeping behind closed doors, as if to persuade expectantly like a gentleman.

It held the scarred Miyamoto Rachel in front of his eyes, and said: [This human being, I also heard your call and kept her alive, but once the toxin is taken out without waste, I am afraid that she will not be able to save her life. However, it is my concession to let her live up to now, so if you open the door, I won't kill your guard again, how about?

There was silence in the sturdy gate, and gradually, the eldest princess Sirena replied: "Rachel is my best friend... If her life cannot be guaranteed, I will not come out."

In her voice, the eldest princess seemed calm, but her tone was filled with painful struggling emotions, as well as a pleading tone.

It seems that Rachel Miyamoto is really her fate, enough to allow her to keep the overall situation in mind and support Britain's unscrupulous actual power in one of the few factors that can be shaken.

Hanging upside down in the air, Miyamoto Rachel, who has exhausted magic and swordsmanship, was panting, her forehead seemed to be knocked, and the blood that flowed out made her white cheeks stained with blood. Hearing the words of the ice dragon After that, she opened her eyes as if struggling, exhausted her strength, and said: "Don't... don't listen to it, your lord..."

In the metal gate, the eldest princess heard Rachel's voice, her voice trembling more and more.

"Rachel..."

Two young girls, in this door, stood in stalemate with each other.

The girl outside the door was dripping with blood, and the emperor inside the door protected herself as if she could not save herself. She knelt down at the door, held her arm on the door, wandering in the decision of right and wrong.

Rachel Miyamoto smiled weakly, and said weakly: "I'm ready...for the country, for the homeland, for the eldest princess. It is not shameful to die with dignity..."

"But the eldest princess is not only my friend, but also the emperor of this country...so... enough, your Royal Highness."

Rachel Miyamoto said.

A drop of blood dripped on the snow.

Rachel Miyamoto's consciousness is no longer clear, confused.

I don't know. After approaching this state, her consciousness is quite clear, but gradually, she can see some very strange things in her mind.

Suddenly, in her consciousness, she saw a different scene.

In the vague consciousness, in the heavy snow, the figure of the man stayed beside a little girl.

The one who stayed in the drizzle, persuaded her not to grow along his path, under the street lamp, was lonely wet by the rain without being crushed by any figure...

The young man standing in the museum, in front of the sunflower painting that was as hot as a flame.

However, that sense of sight, it seems that even Miyamoto Rachel can see that there is a color of longing in the vision of "her", looking at that person.

In his mind, the memory of Rachel Miyamoto's conversation with Li Yan was suddenly recalled.

——I want to ask you another question, why do you always call me Xuexia, what does this mean?

——[It’s not a big deal, I’m in Japan...No, there is a girl who looks exactly like you in Fuso Country...]

Rachel Miyamoto suddenly saw it with his own eyes, the one who was wearing a white school uniform and a black plaid skirt, showing a faint and easy smile...

"!!!"

Rachel Miyamoto, who was hung upside down, opened his eyes for an instant.

What happened?!

Why, just when she was on the verge of disappearing consciousness, she saw an illusion that she had never seen before, and she still felt so real...

Rachel Miyamoto thought puzzledly.

However, in my consciousness, he thought of a possibility in fear: [That person is not lying.

"Cough cough cough!"

Miyamoto Rachelton coughed vigorously.
