"Lord Ice Palace is the future and hope of the Snow Maiden clan."

My mother always said that, and whenever I asked why, my mother's answer never changed.

"Someday you'll understand."

My mother is the head of the Kikawa family of the Snow Maiden clan, and I am the only daughter of the head of the Kikawa family, Kikawa Shelley.

The "Ice Palace-sama" in the mouth of the mother is the biological daughter of the patriarch.

Speaking of which, "Lord Ice Palace" was originally used to refer to the patriarch, but since the birth of Lord Ice Palace, the patriarch has become "Patriarch" and "Head of the Ice Palace".

It stands to reason that this shouldn't be the case.

The elders told us that these young Snow Maidens were because the Lord was too noble, and the average clan was not qualified to call her by her name, so she could only be called "Lord of the Ice Palace".

Not only can't he be called by his name, but there are even few Snow Maidens who are qualified to know the true name of Lord Ice Palace.

Perhaps due to the influence of my mother, I have always been curious about the Ice Palace-sama, and all Snow Maidens have a bit of a "blood (root)" relationship going back up.

To put it mildly, the "blood (root)" relationship between me and that Ice Palace-sama is more than a little bit!

The mother and the patriarch are both snow girls born from the wind and snow of the chemical creatures.,Same sisters.、Grew up together.,The relationship is very deep.。

In terms of generation, the Lord of the Ice Palace is still my いとこ (Zhuyin: itoko) (1).

Before I became an adult, I was fortunate enough to be taken by my mother to the Ice Palace's house to attend the general meeting, and I was even more fortunate to have the opportunity to say hello to the Ice Palace.

The Mother and the other heads of the family who are the Jewelers are at the front, and we juniors are placed in the back, supervised by the patriarchs.

The purpose is to prevent ignorant juniors from losing their manners.

In fact, the juniors who can be selected must have been strictly reminded, and this is also done just in case, because there will always be exceptions.

For example: Me!

For some reason, the ghost came up with the idea of wanting to take a look at the adult.

At that time, I was also taken aback by my bold idea, knowing that I was a well-known "good girl".

Perhaps it is precisely because he has never done anything "bad", has not been punished or even reprimanded.

So there is a kind of confidence that "even if it is discovered, it doesn't matter".

Besides, I'll take a look, just a look!

Then, I ...... Fell.

It must be fate - I think so.

"Exist for that lord" must be the fate of Kikawa Shelley, otherwise why would I act so disrespectfully on such an important occasion?

This is the "Apocalypse"!

It tells me that my destiny is there, so I choose to peep.

Finally, I lowered my head.

At the same time, that figure and those eyes were imprinted in my "roots".

That face is the owner of this body (Kikawa Shelley) that swore allegiance to the death.

Those eyes looked into the distance, as if looking for something, longing for something.

- It's all unforgettable!

When I reached adulthood, my mother told me a story about the birth of a snow girl......

Just as the newborn Pseudo-Crowner was about to take his True Name and Root—suddenly, stopped.

Then, it got dark!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the mother desperately "climbed" onto the ice bed to heal the patriarch who had been reduced to the [named].

For some reason, the newborn [Pseudo-Crowner] didn't do anything, as if he acquiesced in it.

Then, two tyrannical sun wheels hung high above the dark night, scattering fierce "brilliance".

Those who come into contact, the weak ones directly "root" collapse, and not even a snowflake is left; The slightly stronger feel the pain of burning and tearing, and life is worse than death!

"Whew-"

One breath turned into a snowstorm in the sky, enveloping all the snow girls and isolating the brilliance of the sun wheel.

The natural power of the Snow Maiden clan is no longer a sword in the hands of this [Pseudo-Crowner], but "power"!

The power of the hidden Si Xue is also the "law".

Countless ice and snow turned into a sharp sword and split the "black power", and light and "black rain" fell from the sword marks together.

The black "rain" falls to the ground, revealing its true face: feathers!

Black feathers.

In other words, the "black curtain" is actually a pair of wings that cover the sky, and the "two sun wheels" are a pair of eyes.

Looking at the entire hidden world, there are only a handful of people who can do this.

Obviously, the one who came was one of the [Three Imperial Families (PS: The Three Strongest [Pattern Bearers] in the Transformation World)].

The ruler of the storm, the defender of the order of the hundred clans, and the ruler of Tengu Mountain, the patriarch of the Great Tengu clan!

This [Quasi-Crowned One], who was just staring at the newborn, directly caused the frost to spread in the eyes of the two eyes that resembled the sun.

"Hehehehehe~"

A string of silver bell-like laughter passed through the wind and snow and entered the Snow Maiden's ears.

Instantly, desire. Fire Heart!

The Snow Maiden, known as "Ice Clean", fell in an instant under this glamour sound, her consciousness was blurred, her cheeks were crimson, and the heat was unbearable......

Humph! 〗

A cold drink sounded like a gust of ice water poured on his body, extinguishing his desire. The fire awakens every snow girl who is "charmed".

Another [Royal Three Family] has appeared!

The only big monster in the demon fox clan who has reached the "Nine Tails", and this one is also the most special one.

The [Imperial Three Families] has reached the second, is the last [Lord of the Great Rivers and Mountains] also secretly watching this ceremony (farce)?

Even if they weren't there, the two in front of them were enough to make the entire Snow Maiden clan fall into the catastrophe of annihilation.

Suddenly, there was a meaningful sigh in the wind.

The eyes of the sun were extinguished, and the wings that covered the sky receded.

The patriarch of the Great Tengu clan left like this.

Before the Snow Maidens could react, they heard a string of laughter that was fading away.

It is no longer a seductive sound, but full of ridicule and mockery.

…

……

"With the departure of the two [Imperial Three Families], Lord Yukihime has issued a ban, unless she is facing the danger of extinction or she takes the initiative to summon any Snow Maiden to come close here."

"Since then, it has become a forbidden place for the Snow Maidens."

Her mother said that at that time, Lord Ice Palace was called "Yukihime-sama", and that the title "Ice Palace-sama" was proposed by herself when she became an adult.

"After that, we knew that on that day, at the moment of Yukihime-sama's birth, it snowed in the entire avatar world."

"Some foreigners suspected that we were the Snow Maiden clan, and before we could make a move, the news was blocked by the patriarch of the Great Tengu clan."

"Then, in the name of the defender of the order of the Hundred Tribes, he ordered that the Snow Maiden clan be gathered together, that contact with foreign races and humans should be strictly prohibited, and that if there was any need, he could negotiate with the Great Tengu clan and leave it to them."

At that time, the entire Snow Maiden clan didn't understand why this was the case, and after discussing it with the other family heads, the mother decided to report the matter to the Ice Palace-sama.

When Lord Ice Palace learned about this, he signaled them not to worry, they just had to wait.

Later, it wasn't until the Ice Palace-sama came of age and came out of the forbidden land that the mother and the Snow Maiden learned the truth of the matter.

This involves extremely secret knowledge, and in the hidden world, only the [Royal Three Families] are qualified to know about it.

Lord Ice Palace, as the [Pseudo-Crowner], was directly granted this knowledge by the [Hidden Origin].

It was only with the permission of Lord Ice Palace, including the Mother that several of the Jewelers were allowed to know these secrets.

"But now, I'm going to tell you this 'secret,' Shelley."

I was puzzled, for my mother's rank would not have known about it.

Even if my mother speaks and writes words, it will become an incomprehensible language and incomprehensible gibberish under the interference of the [Hidden Origin].

"My lord, she agreed."

When my mother said that, I was even more confused.

The only people who can know about this matter are the heads of the families who are noble [Jewelers], and I am just a Mandarin [Sword Bearer].

Why is it so special to me?

"Because you're my daughter."

My mother explained to me.

"And I'm the younger sister of the patriarch, and you're also the cousin of Lord Ice Palace, so I'm especially allowed to let you know about this."

"I see!"

For some reason, I suddenly felt a little lost, and then I learned about that "secret" and understood a lot of things I didn't understand.

"One more thing, Shelley."

Before I could digest the secret that my mother had told me, she dropped another bombshell.

"If the incident just now was a coming-of-age gift from Lord Ice Palace as a cousin to her cousin, then the following incident is her coming-of-age blessing to the Snow Maiden Kigawa Shelley as the next patriarch of the Snow Maiden clan."

"Lord Ice Palace has specially allowed you to know her name, and has granted you the qualifications to call her honorable name, look at her true face, and listen to the oracle!"

"Listen, that adult's name is ......"

『Ice Palace Snow Flower』

Suddenly, I realized that at that time, she had already discovered that I was peeking at Lord Ice Palace.

But instead of rebuking her, he gave her an amnesty.

"I see!"

At this time, I couldn't help but think of that incomparably pure, almost flawless and beautiful face.

At the same time, there are those eyes that look into the distance as if they are looking for something, longing for something.

I know!

I understand!

To preserve the glory of that crown, to respond to the expectations of the Lord.

I left the Kikawa family and made a pact with humans.

Although I have been granted special favors, I do not think that I am worthy of calling that lord by his name, that he is not worthy to look at his true face, and that he is not worthy to listen to his holy voice......

So in order to be able to enjoy this power with peace of mind, I started looking.

Look for what those eyes desire.

Now I've finally found it.

But why?

Why do you have this expression?

It's like the despair of losing everything!

It shouldn't be like this!

Isn't what you want to turn that illusory crown into substance?

Become the true Crowner?

If that's the case, you'll never be so miserable!

Or is it ...... Did I get it wrong from the beginning?
