Chapter 5

I tried to endure more for Delphine’s sake, but… In the end, I don’t have the slightest energy left to endure any longer… frozen to death. The beggars and the sick, who gathered at the water’s edge to quench their thirst, all swarm and turn into frozen corpses one by one, ah… the Elmanyef Bridge, where the stench of death permeates the lungs with every breath. under the bridge. I get chills all over my body.

All her hands, toes, or limbs all were frozen in frostbite, and eventually she let go of her breath. cold and hunger. If I could only choose one of those two extreme pains. If so, how much longer could it last? But even such a useless wind is unacceptable on a harsh winter night. The season of horrible and terrible trials in the city of Viengbuve.

It was said that the particularly long winter was part of the curse placed on the first emperor of the Matrang Empire, who made the city the capital. Philip Pontian de Matrin, a man who earned the wrath of Minievar, the guardian goddess of the Ernensia continent, through ruthless slaughter, was the price for his crimes. The punishment inflicted on Matrin will not end with him. The first love of himself, his great- grandchildren, his descendants, the heirs of the imperial family, and those who inherited his blood will never come true.

In addition, the winter season, when everything freezes due to the bitter cold, will last longer than any other country on the continent of Ernencia. In this way, none of them will die, no matter how painful it may be, and they will suffer the endless, lonely pain of loss for a long time. Those who have lost their love will have to endure the agonising years without being able to hold on to anyone again, and not living even if they live. It’s been close to a hundred years.

It was the reason why the coldness of the river, as if tearing out the hearts of the descendants of the imperial family, who were bound by the curse of the goddess, cut their flesh and came again. So, as soon as winter came, the Serene River, which runs through the city of Bieng Vu Be, froze over… The cold scratched and scratched everything that was still alive in the area, and shattered everything that was soft and fragile.

I abandoned it. During those bloody cold days, he became a strong support for me and Delphine. Elonzo, who never left our side for a moment and protected us, fell asleep forever. My eleventh Elonzo. He was gray and furry, but even he was harassed by ticks and fleas during the summer, giving us warm body heat even after his bare skin was partially exposed… faithful friend. Even among the same scavenger beggars, they run fiercely at those who do vicious and tyrannical things….sometimes

Instead, he was beaten with a club and was not able to sleep peacefully even a single night while protecting us. He was first called by an angel.

“If your greed is too much, it will bring disaster.”

Before the cold hit, someone threw a coin at my feet and said that before passing by. I’ve never been greedy in this long and past life. Because of that, he became the main character of a series of tragedies, until he reached such a miserable level.
