Her fingertips trembled and her stiff knees felt icy cold.
She was focused on blocking the giant icicles, she couldn’t stop the snow from accumulating around her ankles. Her toes, buried in snow and fine ice, were already numb.
Ivonne’s breath was no longer warm. She was also unable to lean on the frozen ground without slicing her hands, so she clung to herself as best she could, trying desperately to stand her ground.
In this tense situation, Ivonne asked with trembling blue lips.
“I am… a tower master, an ancient wizard. Don’t you know how grave… a crime it is to harm me?”
“Ahaha, who doesn’t know that?”
Celestia burst out laughing mischievously.
“Of course, I’m well aware. I know that treason against a tower master is akin to treason against the imperial family! But I’m not like you, Ivonne. I’m not a commoner. I’ve learned far more than you!”
“Even so, why…”
“Yes, even so, I’m attacking you. Because I’m a noble! I will prove that I am in no way inferior to a commoner wizard like you!”
Her voice growled with fury, as if even Ivonne’s question was an insult to her. The storm intensified, like they were resonating with her emotions.
Ivonne’s knees buckled further. At that moment, Celestia saw her opportunity.
The moment Ivonne’s knees gave way, a sharp ice spear hidden in the snow would strike, marking the moment of Celestia’s victory.
That would be when she fully claims Blitzen.
‘The woman who dared make me, the daughter of the Cyand family, feel inferior will vanish from this world!”
Celestia had longed for this moment. It was for this sight that she had defied her father German’s orders and escaped.
Excited, she envisioned Ivonne’s blood spraying red upon the frozen ice and sang a song of victory.
In that instant, Celestia’s dark eyes gleamed with irrepressible joy.
“Oh, really? Then you must also know that, for the same crime of treason, nobles receive far harsher punishments than commoners?”
A voice rang out clearly.
“…..What?”
Celestia was surprised.
That clear voice undoubtedly belonged to Ivonne.
‘How?’
Suddenly, the surroundings became inexplicably warm. As if the storm Celestia had summoned and the ensuing chill were mere illusions!
Startled, Celestia looked around.
Impossible.
The alley was supposed to be empty, and the walls and windows had been shattered and cracked by the storm of ice she had created.
But now, the alley she looked upon was perfectly intact.
And that wasn’t all.
“My goodness…”
“How could this be…”
“Lady Cyand plotted treason?”
“She knew everything yet still tried to kill the Southern Tower Master?”
“Why, exactly?”
The area was overflowing with people. More precisely, beyond the alley ‘arranged’ as a pathway, there was a crowd in the square!
Celestia froze in place.
‘What’s going on here?’
Among the murmuring crowd, not only were there lesser nobles,
“Celestia…!!!”
The ground seemed to shake with the shout so loud from her father, German.
“Fa, Father…”
The ice that had previously shackled Ivonne’s ankles was now undoubtedly binding Celestia. Otherwise, how could she be so completely immobilized?
“This, this is…”
“Sigh. Warmth really is better.”
Ivonne appeared utterly untroubled, as if she had never been tormented by the cold. Had it not been for the gaping wound on her forearm, one might think it was all a dream.
A man approached Ivonne’s side.
“Let me see your arm.”
“Later.”
There was concern in his voice, but Ivonne pushed him away firmly. The man with glasses and tousled hair didn’t say anything anymore. As if he couldn’t do anything against her.
She shrugged off the jacket the shabby, hunched man had offered her.
“Do you understand what’s happening?”
Ivonne’s green eyes remained calm, as if she had never been cornered.
“It’s fine. It might be difficult. Even if one is a well-educated noble, the lady is not an ancient wizard after all.”
Her chuckle was filled with kindness.
“Application, was it? You said?”
Celestia gritted her teeth, but Ivonne paid her no mind.
“You said you studied more and applied your knowledge better. But, Lady, are you familiar with this saying? ‘A frog in a well.’”
The most distinct difference between Celestia and Ivonne was that Ivonne’s soul was foreign to this world. She knew several methods that no one native to this world could think of.
‘For example, when making a drama or movie, they create a set.’
