“It feels like the final winner is Ajin. ”

Rivera stares at Azin. Azin stops at what she says and looks up. Libera leans against the ledge and laughs.

“I was knighted by the Earl for defeating the Blue Dragon, and I was named after Sericrapa. Not only that, because two princes died during the war, Hermione became closer to the Emperor's throne. And you defeated the Horsemen, didn't you? ”

“... it was an all-out war. I didn't know it was going to be like this. ”

Ajin replies, pulling his chin slightly. As a matter of fact, I did. I was thinking about assassinating a dragon or a prince, but I didn't think the dark stars or the Mages would show up. Rivera giggles in response.

“You know what? Ajin's reputation within the Imperial Army is growing enormously. Of course, there is the swordsman Biggenhardt, nicknamed Dragon Slayer, but the fact that Duke Biggenhardt hunted dragons and Azin hunted dragons had a completely different process. Besides, you caught the Horsemen by yourself, didn't you? ”

“It wasn't easy. ”

Ignoring Rivera's golden gaze, Azin shrugs. As Rivera has said, Azin's reputation within the Imperial Army is soaring to the skies. Originally, there was no margin to be cared for because he was from Jinjin, but after becoming the dragon slayer, his gaze disappeared.

“It brought King Hermione closest to the Emperor's throne. ”

Rivera turns to the other side of the pack. The waves of the flowing seas and ships have become fully accustomed. It has been more than a month since I set sail from Galyos, and now I can see the mainland of Gracia.

“Howser is also the most direct force the prince has. His Holiness Savior is an excellent knight, but not compared to Lord Azin. ”

Rivera grins.

“The Emperor is quite trusting of you, isn't he? ”

Rivera asks. In response, he shuts his lips. I wonder if they're asking because they have words. Azin examines Rivera's expression.

During his stay in Galyos' palace, Azin was personally summoned several times by the Emperor. The story is about the Black Forest and the Dark Stars, and the emperor himself said that after returning to Gracia he would clean up the Dark Forest and the Dark Stars in earnest.

‘This way if Rivera joins us. ’

In this war, Rivera did not serve the name of the warrior. Even in the battles in the plains, Rivera acted alone, but was thwarted by the dark knights of Harvest. Her abilities cannot exert their power unless the opponent attempts to attack.

“... credit. I don't know about him. ”

Ajin shunned the answer. You don't have to tell Rivera everything honestly. In Azin's reply, Libera grins and clutches her chin with her hands.

“Well, the war's over. I won't be called in for a while. What are you going to do with him now? ”

“.. we should go home first. There's someone waiting. ”

Azin said so, looking over the sea.

You can see the land of Gracia from afar.

After returning to Gracia, it took me a while to get back to the mansion. The war is over with the downfall of Gallios, but the rest of the matter is not over yet.

Galios became a colony of Gracia on the surface, and one of its nobles was elected to rule Galios as its new king. The king's name is the only one. The people of Gallios will have to wage harsh taxes and labor in the future.

It's none of his business. When I finished organizing him, I gave him the ball. Ajin's inauguration ceremony was omitted because the Emperor himself was on board. Instead, the ball in the war was not omitted.

"The ball."

Ajin climbs into the wagon. A ball will be held in the imperial palace in honor of the victory of the war. And with that kind of preparation, the ball will be held in a month. It is a sacred ball that summoned all the nobles of the Empire. Ajin kicks his tongue small.

And Azin was supposed to be at the center of the ball. Dragon Slayer and his quest to defeat the Horsemen. Azin sighs and looks out the window.

“Faster than that nonsense.”

I swallowed a horse. Rushing is not a good thing. The emperor has already decided to move, and Azin doesn't need to persuade the emperor in any way. Rather be prepared, and be sure. The war has made it clear how annoying undead are.

And once we've decided to raid the land of the Undead, the Black Forest, the Emperor will be well prepared.

‘If you open the lid early, the rice will be cooked. We can wait. ’

I waited for almost two years. There's nothing you can't wait just a little bit longer. Ajin clenches his fist.

I'm almost there.

Thinking about it.

The wagon stops. After nearly half a year of leaving for Galyos, the mansion doesn't seem to have changed since it was last seen. Arrived in Gracia a week ago. Raw Snow scent could have entered the imperial palace if you wanted to, but you didn't personally visit the pain or do it.

‘No way.'

I thought it was a bit ominous. For a nobleman who left the mansion for a long time due to war or work, the wife's meeting was a scandal that could not be contained. Most of them are knightly romance with a beautiful wife, or even with the servants of a mansion. Azin swallows a gulp. No, it can't be. The aroma of Raw Snow is not like that of anyone else.

Ajin stands at the door of the mansion. I already told you about coming back, but you don't know the exact time. Aji approached the door of the mansion. Soon after, the door opened wide.

“Well done.”

Isaac comes out of the front of the mansion, his head bowing. Just as the mansion has not changed, so has the butler. Azin nods, greeting Isaac and his wife, Sarina. Then he frowns and looks behind them. The acolytes and maids were both present, but I couldn't see the black snow scent.

“And your wife?”

Azin swallows a distant anxiety and asks Isaac. Isaac's face freezes in question. He opens his mouth, avoiding gaze as if it were embarrassing.

“.. that's it. He's in his room.”

“Room?”

“Yes.”

Isaac nods his head as he asks. My husband's back. He can't even come to my house. Instead of pointing at him, Azin lowers his voice and carefully asks.

“Can't it be that... without me... your wife... dragged in another man?" ”

“I don't think that's going to happen.”

Isaac looks up and replies. Can you believe it? With the ability of Raw Snow, you may have deceived everyone in this house and gone out to enjoy a secret gathering at night. No, what are you thinking? No one suspects the smell of Raw Snow. Azin sighs and shakes his head.

“I see. I'll be going now. ”

Ajin enters the mansion. The hall in the large mansion felt a little welcoming. Azin looked up at the second floor, where there was black snow scent. He swallows a gulp. The black snow scent doesn't come out. She couldn't have met another man. Then there is only one thing you can think about in this case.

‘This is frustrating.’

Ajin sighs. I returned after almost half a year, but I didn't tell any stories to the Black Snow. The nature of the Raw Snow was clearly vomited properly. He scratches his cheek and climbs up the stairs.

I felt like a pig walking into a slaughterhouse on my own feet. In tension, Azin grabs his wet hand and opens it, standing in front of the Raw Snow door.

“Ma'am.”

Azin opens his lips and sings the scent of black snow. I felt a reflex in the room, but I couldn't hear the answer. Ajin raises his hand and knocks on the door a few times. Knock's answer never comes back.

“Ma'am.”

I call you again. I still can't hear you. Azin sighs and grabs the door hook.

“Master.”

I changed my title, but I didn't hear back. Azin eventually turns the door hook. The door is unlocked, so the door is locked and locked. The moment you reach beyond the open door.

Something came flying through my face. Azin is flabbergasted and snatches it from the air. I did something and it was a pillow. He sighs and lowers the pillow in his hand. I could see the black snow scent sitting on the bed with my lips puckered.

“Are you angry?”

“Huh."

Raw snow replies. His voice is cold, but his expression tightly echoes that he's upset. He sighs and scratches his head. How to solve this.

‘And technically, it's my fault. ’

Just as you can enter the imperial palace if you have the taste of raw snow, if you only had the heart, you would have been able to leave the imperial palace and come to the mansion. Or at least write to them. It was a pity that I neglected to mention that I was busy with work. I've been away from her for half a year in Gallios.

“I'm sorry.”

Ajin bows his head frankly. I stared at Azin without answering the smell of Raw Snow. Azin took that gaze and swallowed a sigh coming back up.

“Work is busy... but the urgent business is over. You won't have to go out for a while. ”

“Tell me honestly. ”

Raw Snow's scent raises my body. She places her hands on her waist and shoots Azin. Azin lifts his head and looks at the scent of Raw Snow.

“You've been away from me for half a year. Did you meet another girl? ”

“You think I'm some kind of pervert who flirts with other women without a woman for a day? ”

“That's just in case. Lonely or hungry. Didn't you?”

“I didn't. ”

“How can I believe that? ”

“Check it out tonight. If you solve it for half a year, it'll be quick today, and if you don't solve it, it'll be long. ”

Azin grumbles and replies. At that moment, the smell of Raw Snow blinks, not knowing what it means. Later, the black snow smelled red on my face.

“Yi, yi, yippee! ”

“Master asked me that first.” Azin mutters like that and approaches the black snowflake. The scent of Raw Snow shifts back as it sees the coming azine. She swallows a gulp, wrapped around her red face. Azin smiles as he looks down at the smell of Raw Snow.

“Well, what are you expecting? ”

“What am I...! ”

“You're blushing. How's the master? Haven't you brought another man into bed in half a year without me? ”

“I wouldn't do that! ”

“Then I'm the same. Like the master did, I didn't do it. ”

In response, he lets out a large breath of Raw Snow and bows his head.

“.. you could have contacted me. ”

“I'm sorry about that. I had no idea. I thought you'd be back soon... But there's more going on than I thought. It was a long sea.”

“What am I going to do in this big mansion by myself? I don't know many people. It's annoying and irritating to refuse an invitation. If it wasn't for you, I would have smashed it all up. ”

“Thank you for your patience. ”

Azin reaches out and grabs his Raw Snow body. He sags as he sweeps the back of the black snowy scent into his arms.

“I've been back.”
