Chapter: 138
Kaizen looked around the snow-covered forest road and was laughing at him.
“That’s ridiculous to say that a lake makes your wish come true.”
Kaizen laughed at someone who seriously spoke of such a ridiculous legend.
On the other hand, Astelle, who listened to his explanation, seemed to like the story.
“Still, it’s a beautiful story.”
She wore a luxurious indigo hunting suit and a fur coat, and Astelle on a horse was as beautiful as the goddess of the forest.
However, no matter how beautiful Astelle was, she meant nothing to Kaizen back then.
Kaizen replied bluntly, “I didn’t know my fiancee liked such superstitions.”
“Still, this forest is very beautiful. It’s morning, so the air is refreshing. It would be nice if there was a forest like this near the capital.”
“Yes, this forest is beautiful. Maybe it’s because there aren’t many people going in and out. If people easily go to and fro, it’s annoying.”
Kaizen turned his horsehead to her side and continued, “Especially if people who don’t even know how to hunt go in and out of the forest at will, that’s even more annoying.”
Kaizen didn’t want to talk to Astelle anymore, so he went deep into the forest leaving her behind.
Kaizen loved hunting very much. But he preferred to go out of the imperial palace and run through the forest rather than hunting itself.
Because he was able to take off his pretense and act as he pleased at that time.
Kaizen has been riding in the forest for a long time.
He didn’t see Astelle again for the hours he rode and went further into the forest.
He didn’t know if Astelle liked this hunt or if she had ever hunted.
How long has he been gone around?
It was the first time when he came to the center of the forest.
There was a snow-covered board among the dense trees.
Kaizen turned the direction towards it.
But the moment he stepped on the snowfield, he suddenly had an unexpected situation.
As soon as he stepped, the floor collapsed.
As the ice broke, cold water sprang up. The cold water swallowed him like a deep bog.
“Phuah!”
