The Hated Savior
CHAPTER 116

The snowfall had thickened, forming a white expanse enveloping the dark and dense surroundings. Day is unknown, whether it be day or night, all that is seen is a purple full moon with a gloomy light.

Aquila could only sit idly by the window observing the surroundings with a feeling of erratic frenzy, gradually all her thoughts disappeared with a blank look directed at the scene outside the gloomy window.

Anger, sadness, disappointment become one and are emitted with a flat and cold face in accordance with the very cold season

lasted. Leave could only be silent at the door and was reluctant to disturb his dreamy nona in front of a classic European-style window.

Unwittingly, Aquila, a stream of tears flowed down her cheek, and then fell with frozen droplets in the warm air. The fire that was still burning in the fireplace left only a small ember that reflected the smoke that flew carelessly that was right on the roof.

"What have I done right?" Aquila asked in a humble voice exuding a wounded heart.

Leave who was still on the doorstep did not know what to do to comfort his nonanya as well as his own sister who was raging in the rare grief shown to Shiro and others.

"Am I right, Leave? Doing all this, I mean I just want to keep my promise to shiro to save his brother. But why do they always stop me and force me to be cruel." Aquila said back as she continued to stare at the window blankly yet filled with sorrow.

"Miss, you've done your best. I know that you only want to keep the promise to Mr. Shiro to save his brother who was controlled in the slavery contract. I know that Miss is very depressed about all this, but believe me all this will soon pass with a happy ending without bloodshed like in the old Tayounokuni kingdom." Leave said in a soft yet soothing voice.

"That was my wish, brother, but will it all go our way? I've been branded a demon, do I deserve a title that is so contrary to my true nature?" Aquila asked poured out the anxiety she had been craving for herself all along.

"Miss, no matter what they say. What the lady thinks is right then do it, if not then don't do it. Miss, act like you used to be on earth with Miss Rin, warm and cheerful." Leave said with a hug to Aquila.

"If I could, brother, I would. But I couldn't do that easily, I knew that I was just a coward hiding in a cold, flat face, I was afraid that I would not be able to keep my promise and Shiro would be disappointed with me and turn to hate me for my unfeeling deeds of slaughtering people back then." Aquila said with a heart.

"Sir Aquila, what are you saying..!! Of course I won't hate you no matter what." Said Shiro who suddenly appeared with his hands clenched tightly until he saw his veins protruding.

"S-shiro..? since when did you come back?" Aquila asked as she brusquely wiped away the rest of her tears.

"Sister, I know that if my wish made you feel burdened, I'm sorry." Shiro said in a sorry tone.

"No Shiro, you're not a burden to me. Believe it." Aquila said in a tone that was burdened with Shiro's previous utterance.

"I have great faith in Aquila's sister, no matter what Aquila's sister does, me and my other brothers will always support you." Shiro said confidently.

"If one day I turn out to be so cruel and have no feelings of hitting the war drums would you still support me?" Ask Aquila to make sure.

"Yes, I don't care about that. And also, the power of the winter controller and the water element was already above the level of a god, rather it was at the level of Aditama which was very impossible to conquer." Said Vent Leger who suddenly appeared.

"Eger, where do you know that from?" Shiro asked astonished by what Vent Leger the ruler of wind element.

"Don't you forget what my role is Rino, I'm the windblower in Callista's world. Of course I know what conditions of thickness exist in this world and who has reached the highest level, even though they hide behind shadows that cannot be penetrated by light. As long as the creature breathes, it can't escape my control." Vent Leger said in a proud tone.

"If that's what I told him before you were created by Eger. You think I don't know." Shiro said in a slightly dislike tone.

"I guess you'll forget my role in this world, so what's wrong if I tell you one more time." Vent Leger said casually and did not care about Shiro's face change which looked irritated by Vent Leger's words as if saying it was senile.

"You think I forgot your role Eger. But don't forget that I can also control the wind like you can." Shiro said wryly.

"But not as big as what I have." Vent Leger said casually.

"Here you are, why are you making a fuss like this?" Aquila said he broke up.

"He started first, brother." Shiro said with Vent Leger.

"I didn't do anything." Vent Leger said casually.

"Alright, I hope you guys won't fight like this. You are brothers, and as brothers you must support each other not even like this." Aquila said.

"Yes, I understand brother." Vent Leger and Shiro said.

"Good, then what do you get after going around Shiro? I hope that's the good thing about Adrian." Aquila asked about Shiro and Helios's intrusion which usually sought information about the pillar in Zemlya's empire.

"About that, brother Aquila, energy alone. Lio and I have found Adrian's main body. His main body was imprisoned underground in the Zemlya imperial palace." Shiro was serious.

"And also in the next few days there is a lantern flight festival in honor of the god Chronos as ruler of night and time." Shiro is back.

"Good, if we're going to make a move when the festival's done." Aquila said with a slanted smile.

"Ah, sister Aquila, can my sister Aquila not smile like that?" Shiro and Vent Leger asked for goosebumps, while Leave only smiled slightly to see his nona recovering as usual.
