Glaceis Archon: The Ruler of Blizzard

Chapter 05: Travel & Mystery

(POV MC)

The beautiful dense forest, which had filled my entire vision, now turned into a landscape of barren land that was only filled with sand, as far as the eye could see, with the blazing sun becoming worse and worse.

It had been almost five days since the meeting took place, and now I was on my way to my territory.

I left in the morning, one day after the meeting, just because I didn't want to stay there for too long.

After all, after I left the meeting, the people who were there grew more and more in their treatment of me, which although I did not care much because I was used to it, but that cannot be said so with Toshizou.

So, just to prevent that woman from committing mass genocide against something not so useful, I decided to head to my territory as soon as possible, where other than being together with Toshizou, I was going to go, I also invited a maid who I had forgotten her whereabouts.

This is a slave I bought, while I was walking with my older sister in the Capital of the Areti Federation.

Her name is Lilith. She is a Demon woman whose rank is still a question mark, because I cannot see the contents of her status screen perfectly, she said thanks to the Unique Skill that this person has, but what was certain of him, was the fact that this woman was so skilled in terms of disguising herself as a human.

After all, even after nearly five years of working for me inside the royal palace, that incidentally has the highest level of security that exists in the entire Aeternus Empire, he said, but they were still unable to realize the real race Lilith had.

Besides being an expert in the field, this woman is also quite, no, even I think too skilled in the field of magic, and can be said, no, if all the magic that I knew up to this point came from him, because he was the one who taught me how to use magic.

And, despite the beginning of my relationship with this woman, before the memories of my past life had arisen, it could have been very strange.

Because, this woman who initially always said would kill me, due to something unexplainable plus I do not know and understand, but after a few years passed, her attitude had completely changed by one hundred and eighty degrees, so it was possible that, other than my older sister, this woman was the only one who was truly worried about my well-being.

'Even so, I hate this woman who always thinks of me as a child.'

Yes, from the memories I have as an Arch. This Demon lady actually treated me like a child, which to make matters worse, I myself then accepted it with pleasure...

Honestly, looking at those memories, it felt like I really wanted to kill myself, because it was too embarrassing...

...

Argha! Okay fine! I better get back to the main topic.

Ahem! The point is, right now I've just entered a rather outer region of my territory, which like what I saw in the documents back then, this place is really very similar to the Sahara Desert. Because, no matter how far my eyes looked, all I could see was a desert, with no life in it.

From seeing that alone, I actually became increasingly skeptical about the state of the city where I would lead. Because, if the outside is as dark as this, then what about the inside? I really don't want to think about it at all.

When I sighed again, the maid sitting near me started to pat my head gently, which made me turn my eyes towards her.

"Just calm down, Master. No matter how bad the territory is, I will still try my best to help you."

Listen to the words of motivation

given by this Demon Lady, all I could do was smile wryly, because...

'This woman really has a terrible mother charm.'

Even though I said that in my mind, but I am still grateful for that, because his words were enough to help me in restoring my mood.

"Thank you, Lilith."

After thanking the woman, I decided to train with the Unique Skill [Astrology], until I arrived at my destination.

(POV Third Person)

Meanwhile, at the same time somewhere else...

There appeared to be a beautiful young lady with long hair of somewhat pale wine who seemed to be walking in a good mood, within the hallway of the main palace belonging to the Aeternus Empire.

The woman was seen continuing to walk with a refreshing smile on her face, as she completely ignored the people around her, who always gave her a look of pity.

'About what Arch is doing, huh?'

When he thought about it, the smile he had became even deeper, as the reddish-purple eyes that had faded into his turquoise-blue sea began to look filled with madness.

'Heheheh~ I really can't wait to make it mine completely.'

While thinking about such a thing in his mind, the woman began to walk towards somewhere, not knowing that the person he was trying to meet was long gone from the city.

....

...

Meanwhile, somewhere else...

Somewhere that was only filled with snow along the eye of the beholder, there were three people who were seen walking towards somewhere.

One of them looked like a young man who was in his mid-twenties, with long, curly azure hair a bit pale that faded into a slightly teal red at the tip, where it was seen there was also a luminous purple earring on his left ear, and the most striking feature of the person was a black mask shaped to resemble a pointed beak that covered his upper face.

The clothes that person was wearing could not be seen very clearly, as it was covered by a winter robe worn by him.

Walking side by side with the young man, there was a tall woman with pale skin who almost looked similar to a porcelain, with long fine platinum blonde hair that faded to pink at the ends, which was very small, and the two look to have beautiful purplish-red eyes that have black pupils shaped like a book in the middle. Part of her hair is seen in a tie into two bun shaped like a rose on the back of her head. She is also seen wearing a black earring on her right ear and a black mask covering her left eye.

Just like the young man before her, the woman was seen wearing a luxurious winter robe that covered all the clothes beneath her, with a Catalyst seen hovering behind her right shoulder.

The last person there looked like a young woman who had fluent white skin, with red eyes that fade to blue at the ends and look to have indigo pupils shaped like an eight-pointed star in the middle, the wavy hair had a somewhat pale indigo color that faded into teal at the ends, where it was tied with a loose side ponytail.

Although it was the same as the previous two, as both were wearing a winter robe that covered the clothes that were underneath, but the woman was also seen wearing a large aquamarine witch's hat that had an ice flower pinned on it, as well as a black and white domino mask that has an aquamarine star motif seen covering the top of his face.

They were seen walking in silence through the endless-looking icy ground in silence, until one of the two women, who was, that had a long smooth platinum blonde that faded to pink at the ends, breaking the silence that was there.

"Seriously, Dottore. When are we going to walk in this place? Are you serious, not wrong in calculating the coordinates?"

The young man called Dottore initially only clicked his tongue in annoyance, as he started glancing at him in annoyance for a moment, before he refocused on a strange, rectangular black object, which he is holding.

"It's better that you use your fire to melt your frozen brain, rather than not being used at all, La Signora..."

Dottore is then seen beginning to stop his footsteps and begin to look towards the sky, before he continues with a much more serious tone, even before the woman referred to by him can say a word.

"Again, I have never been wrong and failed in every single thing I do, with the exception of Master-related matters."

The platinum-blonde long-haired young lady who faded to pink at the tip, who seemed to have the name La Signora, was eager to refute. But, since it was an indisputable fact, he ended up only being able to click his tongue in annoyance.

"By the way, you said, that a few days ago you managed to track down the whereabouts of the Master. Then, where is the Master's existence now? Don't tell me, a genius like you end up failing too?"

Facing the sarcasm that La Signora was throwing, Dottore just stood still and continued to observe the sky above him, before he finally turned his gaze toward the last person there, who was there, where the man was actually seen ignoring the question of the platinum blonde fine long haired young lady who faded into pink at that end.

"Scaramouche, can you find out the reason for the oddity of the stars in the sky?"

Hearing the sudden question from the young man, the two women immediately fell into contemplation.

Meanwhile, the young woman called Scaramouche begins to focus on a Catalyst that appears suddenly nearby, on the other hand, La Signora seemed to begin to focus on the sky above her, as her eyes seemed to begin to narrow.

'Just-wait a minute! Yeah-don't-don't...'

A wild thought that appeared in the mind of the woman was immediately confirmed by the other woman who was there, when the somewhat pale indigo-haired woman who faded into teal at the end of it seemed to start to have tears dripping down her two eyes.

"That's not wrong anymore! Th-this... I-this is really Master's magic energy!"

After those words were spoken, La Signora immediately held onto the woman's shoulder, with her hand that had already turned into a slightly blackish red flame.

"S-scaramouche, are you really serious about those words? You're not kidding, are you?" The tone of voice that the woman was using instantly also turned into a hopeful tone that bordered on anticipation, as the grip of her hand became even stronger.

Scaramouche could only reply with repeated nods, as he tried to shake off La Signora's hand.

"Oh-of course I'm not kidding! Do you think I'd joke about something like this?"

Upon hearing that, La Signora immediately let go of her grip and began to embrace herself, as a slightly blackish red flame began to flare up all over her body.

"I-I know you're alive, Master. I-I know you can't die that easy."

Scaramouche who saw the woman began to cry as her entire body started to burn in a slightly blackish red flame, she could only smile gently, as her eyes began to become softer.

'Seems like it's not just me who misses Master so much. In fact, a madman like Doctor did not escape from it.'

The woman's eyes immediately glanced at the last person there, who, despite looking very calm and only had a small smile on her face, Scaramouche knew, if the man is currently crying with happiness, because it is the only emotion belonging to the man that the woman can detect through her Astrology.
