As someone murmured “The Wicked Horn is dead…” upon the icy throne, Cornelio of the Soul Horn knelt and said,
“...I shall prepare the funeral at once, Your Majesty the Ice King.”
(The Ice King is a handsome man with countless icy horns on his head.)
Chapter 22 – “End of War, Beginning of Journey”
Outside with Cornelio, the Ice King reminisces about the past he shared with the Wicked Horn.
“After the war, there was one time I shared a drink with him. I asked, ‘Why do you like seeing people make unpleasant faces?’”
The Wicked Horn replied:
“People with anxiety, even when others are kind to them, always think—‘They must actually hate me, right?’
That’s why, seeing someone’s disgusted face made me happy.
A hateful expression has no ‘lie’ in it.
There’s such a thing as a ‘fake smile,’ but no such thing as a ‘fake scowl.’
It’s a real emotion. Something you can trust—something that puts me at ease.”
After recalling this, the King said:
“On the battlefield, everyone faces each other with raw hostility.
Only the battlefield could save his heart.
That’s why I trusted him—the most honest man on the field of war.”
On the ship, Hugin used multiple runes to temporarily stitch Otel’s left arm.
Enduring the throbbing pain, Otel thanked him.
Meanwhile, Filgja, while channeling through Otel the burning emotions of regret and rejection, quietly vanished and stopped appearing before everyone.
In his heart, Otel called out:
“We’re partners, right? Please… let me hear your voice again.”
