"It seems to be Snow Castle in front of you...... The last time I was walking through the center of the city with Cyberdart, I saw it from afar. The sister's voice came from the back of her head, and Lusa, who was holding the horse and was attached to her sister's back, lifted up slightly.

Maester Nadia and two guards led the way, and Lucina followed them closely.

Gradually, the outline of the Snow Castle became clear in the snow and mist. It was a castle with a dark hue and walls covered in ice. The Snowy Castle itself isn't that imposing, but because it's built on high ground in the center of the city, it's big enough to overlook the city.

The closer she got, the more Lusha realized the antiquity of the castle - the weight of its history, which gave it a majestic temperament. The outer walls of the castle are already high, but the topography of the high ground itself creates an impassable barrier. To enter, you have to climb the long staircase that leads to the low main entrance.

The three men in front stopped at a high ground and led their horses to the stables. One of the guards shouted something inside. Soon, out of the hut next to the stable came a man dressed as a man.

"Let's go first, two young ladies, please hurry up. Lord Mace is still waiting. Wrapped tightly in his cloak, Maester Nadia slowly walked to the abutment with two guards.

The long staircase leading to the outer gate had a wide staircase at the bottom, and those who wanted to go up had to take the stairs on either side that could accommodate two people walking side by side. According to my sister, this kind of ladder can be used to place archers and other troops to shoot from a distance, and it can also be used to station heavy infantry to defend the bottom side, so that the enemy who wants to attack the cold snow castle will be forcibly divided into ladders on both sides to attack, and the narrow space where only two people can go side by side will undoubtedly greatly limit the enemy's combat power.

Déjà vu design...... Lutha remembered what her father had shown her of Hillsborough - the design of the bottom staircase was exactly the same.

Flipping off the horse's back, Lucina also turned back into Aya form after a halo, looking around.

"Wow, Lusa! Look the man seems frightened. Lucina beckoned excitedly to the stable. Looking in the direction of her sister's beckoning, Lusa saw that the groom was panicked and froze in place.

"Because I suddenly became human, didn't I?" Lucina seemed to be immersed in inexplicable joy, and she seemed to feel a sense of accomplishment about it.

"Gone, sister. Lutha tugged at the corner of Lucina's clothes, "Bachelor, they're waiting on the stairs......"

"Oh, wait. Lucina looked around again, "There are so many clearings and woods near Snowcastle...... A month ago, from a distance, I felt that this place was too closed for the castle in the center of the city. ”

"Because Neverwinter is huge, isn't it? The buildings are sparsely distributed. Lusha lowered her hood and looked at her feet: "Centered on the high ground, it is paved with snow and stone like the streets......"

"Of course, this is also the place of the lord's house. Lucina jumped up and down with great interest: "Oh, I always feel that the snow stone here is thicker than the street...... I didn't feel it with the horse's hooves just now, but now I try it like this, and the foot feeling is really good!"

My sister ran a few steps excitedly, and then jumped up to Lusha's side: "How about it, Lusha?

"No, sister......" Lusha felt a little blushing, "Let's not keep people waiting, right?"

"Oh, too. Lucina stopped in disappointment, leaned over to Lusa, and took her sister's left hand, which was wearing Snow Eagle gloves: "Wow, the gloves that Uncle Morse gave you are really high-end - this leather is really smooth to the touch." ”

"My sister seems to be extra excited today. Lutha looked up at the high ground shrouded in a hazy snow mist, snowflakes falling on her cheeks through her hood.

"Is that because you haven't run away with Lusha in a long time?" Lucina waved her right hand contentedly, and Lusa's left arm was also pulled by it, swinging up and down.

"Sister......" Lusa was a little unaccustomed to the shaking caused by this kind of large swing of arms, and Lucina quickly stopped the movement of her right hand: "Hey, it's really ...... It's been a long time since I've been walking outside holding hands with Lusha to show affection, and I'm too excited. ”

"I'm sorry, sister......" Lusha lowered her head sadly: when she woke up from a coma yesterday, she opened her eyes and thought she had just fainted for a day. So she habitually woke up her sister who was sleeping with her. However, Lucina, who seemed to be just asleep, surprised Lusa by what she did after a long pause: she hugged herself tightly and cried loudly.

Lusha hadn't seen her sister cry a few times, which made her feel sad: "I ......"

"Okay, okay, you don't have to say the rest of the story, I understand. Aren't you awake?" the sister gently squeezed Lusa's hand: "When talking to my sister, omit all the words of gratitude - I still can't learn how many years I have taught you." ”

“...... Well. Lusha, who secretly thanked her in her heart, clenched her sister's cold hand: "Sister, you said it...... When I fainted, the curse mark glowed?" "Ah, that's right. My sister's tone suddenly became a little heavy: "Cyberdat thinks that it is likely that the person who sent the letter used some method to create a coma to forcibly leave you and me here. But in my opinion, there is no need for him to do that. ”

"Sister, what do you think?" Lusa looked at her sister's long snow-white hair.

"I think ......" Lucina hesitated for a moment, "I think your mark sensed something that caused the coma." And that may be the key to lifting the curse. ”

"Hmm. It's also possible. Lusa wasn't sure what she was thinking, "Speaking of Mr. Cyberdart, I haven't been able to summon Nalor to contact him for some reason in the past two days. ”

"That idiot probably didn't have a connection between Nalor and the Summoning Stone, right?" Lucina sighed, "Isn't it that he's casting spells quickly again, and the side effects are terrifying...... Therefore, there are few elven males who have good mana talents. ”

It wasn't until she began to climb the steps on the side of the staircase that Lusa was surprised at how tall the staircase was—and the stairs were steep for defense, presumably for defense.

Seeing that the two Ayas had followed, the three began to climb the main steps above the aisle. Sister Lusha followed. However, the Bachelor's legs and feet were not very good after all, and they were quickly left behind.

"Lusa, don't you fall?" After a moment, Lucina looked down, "Hey, Lusa, we're about to climb to the top." Wouldn't it be nice to spread your wings and jump from here? Let's try it, and fly around Winterfell for a while, without worrying about being seen by the pursuers. ”

"Don't you, sister?" Lusa hesitated for a moment, but she hadn't flown for a long time, which made her a little itchy: "Or ...... Why don't you fly back when you come back?"

"Uh......h I can't wait!" Lucina touched her exposed white back, and began to say something nonsensical: "Think about it, Lusa? What are we both wearing backless outfits for?

Before Lusa could say anything, a white light flashed behind Lucina's back. Spreading her white wings, Lucina, who was so excited, flapped her wings lightly that she flew into the sky.

"Come on, Lusha?" my sister waved her hand in the air, "Although I said that I would fly down, but sure enough, the sky is still suitable for me!"

Looking at Lucina in the air, Lusa felt an unbearable itch inside. Answering the call of the snowy sky, Lusha closed her eyes and felt the flow of angelic power within her.

There was a strange itching sensation on his back, as if a hand was gently caressing his back, and the wings slowly formed behind his back.

Spreading her long-lost wings, Lusha flapped her wings and flew into the sky with impatient excitement.

Unfettered Flight...... Feeling liberated after a long absence, Lusa easily adjusted her balance to fend off the howling wind with the white light that emanated from her wings and enveloped her body.

"Wow...... It's been a long time since I've flown and it's great!" Lucina flipped her head in the air, "It's a pity it's too windy here...... In this way, the power of the angels must be consumed to resist the wind. If it weren't for our weight, we wouldn't have been able to control our flight path......"

"Hmm. Lutha let out a long breath, and after a dive, rose sharply. My sister also flew in after her.

"Look at it this way, it's all snow and fog...... Lucina sighed, "It's so beautiful...... Now, if you're here, can Lusha take off her hood, sister, it's been a long time since you've seen your long white hair fluttering in the sky?"

Smiling, Lusha took off her hood. The long hair that has been liberated flutters in the wind.

Sense of freedom...... Lusa closed her eyes intoxicated and stroked her smooth hair: this is the most natural state, I'm afraid it can only be experienced in the sky, right?

Hood ...... It's the cage of self-confinement. She entered voluntarily, expecting to be protected by it, but her heart was closed because of it.

How can I lift the curse......

If only it were here.
