Chapter 612 A Will Eternal [Part 2]

Basically, Nicole only had until she graduated from Brynhildr Academy before she, too, would fall into a comatose state.

However, it wouldn’t end there.

Her body would turn into ice, making her turn into an ice statue.

The fight against the Ice Dragon on the peak of Khaled Bor forced her to open the seal that was suppressing her power.

Unfortunately, doing this had caused a backlash, and that was the coldness that she would feel from time to time, which couldn’t be removed by using normal means.

One of the reasons why she decided to follow Ethan back to his hometown was to understand how the young man was able to make her cold episodes disappear.

If she were to understand the logic behind it, then she would be able to handle them on her own, and she would no longer have to bother the young man whenever the pain from the coldness she was feeling became unbearable.

She believed that once she overcame this obstacle, she would be one step closer to her goal of taking full control of her Legacy and, in turn, awaken her sleeping mother.

‘Three more years,’ Nicole thought. ‘Don’t worry, Mother. I will cure you no matter what.’

Suddenly, a familiar voice resounded inside her head.

‘Can you really do it?’

Nicole’s body stiffened because it had been several weeks since she last heard the voice inside her head.

‘I can,’ Nicole replied. ‘No matter what happens, I will take control of your Legacy, even if it’s the last thing I do.’

‘It will indeed be the last thing you’ll do. As I told you, if you fail, you will be joining your mother in an eternal slumber,’ Baradiel commented. ‘Don’t worry. A year from now, if you still haven’t gotten my power under control, I will give you a hint on how to do it.’

‘And why would you do that?’ Nicole didn’t believe that the owner of the Legacy, which she acquired by accident, was a benevolent being.

Since she was able to wield such power, she understood that Baradiel’s heart was as cold as the snow and ice that fell under her Domain.

‘It’s because I pity you,’ Baradiel answered. ‘An unwanted child who has lost the only person who truly cared about her.

‘Even now, you want to try to overcome obstacles on your own without asking others for help. It is an admirable trait, but that will not be enough to control the power of my Legacy.’

Nicole sighed internally. She could sense that the voice inside her head truly pitied her, making her wonder if she could really trust Baradiel’s words.

‘Then, how about you give me a hint?’ Nicole inquired. ‘Even a little one will do.’

‘A hint?’

Nicole could hear the amusement in the voice inside her head, but she didn’t care.

If she could wake her mother a day sooner, then she would do whatever it took to achieve it.

‘Come ask me after a year,’ Baradiel replied. ‘If you still haven’t found any clues, I will give you a hint, which would answer all the questions you have about my power. Until then, please endure, for you are in for a very painful and cold experience.

‘That is simply the fate of those who gain power beyond their control. But, you’re luckier than others Nicole. Those who have tried to acquire my Legacy in the past turned into an Ice Statue before shattering into countless pieces.

‘I believe you have what it takes to wield my powers. The only question is whether you have the will to see it through.’

Nicole didn’t say anything and simply closed her eyes.

As someone who grew up in a dog-eat-dog world, she had become someone who didn’t want to rely on others for help even when things got difficult.

The Asta Family only cared about strength and their influence.

If someone didn’t meet their expectations, they would ignore that person’s existence and treat them as if they were nothing but air.

With her mother in a comatose state, Nicole had to fend for herself.

Of course, Queen Evane always supported her in any way that she could, forcing Oscar to at least tolerate Nicole’s existence.

Suddenly, Nicole felt her body turn cold, making her shudder uncontrollably.

Not wanting to be seen in her vulnerable state, she entered the stables and climbed to its second floor.

There, she laid down on the wooden floor in a fetal position, trying to endure the coldness and the pain assaulting her body.

These cold episodes would sometimes last for a few minutes.

However, there were times when it would last for half an hour, making Nicole tear up in pain.

Fortunately, her episode only lasted for five minutes. Still, she already felt drained and exhausted.

After pondering for a bit, she decided to close her eyes and take a nap.

The only people within the property were Ethan’s family members and her friends.

She wasn’t in the Asta Family’s Main Residence, where she had to always be on guard.

‘Just an hour,’ Nicole thought before closing eyes. ‘One hour will do.’

Soon, she fell into an uneasy sleep, not caring that she was sleeping on a wooden floor.

Half a minute later, a white mist started to ooze from her body, transforming into the silhouette of a lady.

She was none other than Baradiel, who looked down on Nicole with a pitiful gaze.

‘I really hope that you can carry my Eternal Will, Nicole,’ Baradiel said softly as she waved her hand, making the young lady’s body hover above the wooden floor. ‘Since you were able to find it, it means that you and I were fated to meet.’

After saying those words, Baradiel merged with Nicole’s body, turning it into a white mist.

This white mist then flew toward the window of the stables before making its way toward the Gremory Residence.

A few minutes later, the white mist opened the window of Nicole’s room before moving inside of it.

It then landed on the bed, putting down the sleeping beauty who would wake up right after sunset.

A few hours later, Nicole woke up feeling cold, alone, and confused about how she woke up inside her room when she was supposed to be lying in the stables, which was at least a hundred meters away from the Gremory Residence.
