Chapter 581

Her entire youth was Cocolia.

The end of youth seemed to coincide with the day Cocolia coldly announced their parting ways.

Joining the Silvermane Guards was, in fact, her desire to get closer to Cocolia again, a desire born from her dissatisfaction with her youth.

She once thought she could do it. After all, she was outstanding, the most exceptional among her classmates besides the dazzling Cocolia. And indeed, she did get better and better, not only being incredibly skilled in combat but also a rare and excellent mechanic, while her research was also thriving. Everyone thought she could become a dazzling figure, reaching a high position very close to the Great Guardian.

Then one day, Kriper Castle suddenly announced that her research on the "Stellaron" was subverting Belobog and was a serious crime... Considering her previous outstanding contributions and the fact that she had not yet committed a major offense, she was punished by being expelled.

Silval's life completely collapsed from that moment on.

From high spirits to perseverance to a dejected fall, Cocolia lived through this turbulent life.

"So why is that? Why, why won't you even give me an explanation!?"

Silval threw back the covers, her pajamas slipping down to reveal her beautifully contoured, smooth, and delicate shoulders. She scratched her messy hair, her large, bewildered eyes filled with the resentment and bitterness of a pure young girl who had been cruelly stripped of her virginity.

Silval decided she wasn't going to sleep anymore. She simply got up, grabbed the electric guitar she had just received that day that was leaning against the headboard, strode up to the attic, opened the window, and climbed onto the roof of the "Eternal Motion" mechanical house.

"Call--"

The cool night wind blew through her hair and through her thin, loose white pajamas onto Silval's skin, giving her goosebumps.

This brought her to her full senses.

Silval looked up at the moon, with the towering and magnificent Kriper Castle right next to her—why did she open a mechanical house so close by? It's a bit embarrassing to admit, but back then, she subconsciously felt that if she was closer, that person wouldn't have to travel too far if they wanted to reconcile someday.

However, she never got to see it, and she even threw away the electric guitar that held countless memories!

"Ta-da!~~"

Rhythmic electronic guitar music pierced the night sky.

It was passionate, angry, and roaring, as if a warrior filled with rage was venting something.

Silval's love for rock and roll is genuine. She can accurately convey her emotions, and even those who don't understand rock can hear the burning passion in her music and gradually become immersed in it.

"Asshole!"

"Asshole!"

"Asshole!!"

"You heartless, cold-blooded woman, get out of my brain and disappear down the drain!!!"

"Buzz—"

The nameless hymn of anger abruptly ended at its emotional climax.

Unable to continue writing, and feeling nothing but anger, Silval was unable to finish the second half of the new song.

"Huff~ Huff~~"

After the intense outburst, Silval gasped for breath and wiped the fine beads of sweat from her forehead.

Her performances require a full commitment of body and emotion, which takes a toll on her in many ways.

"Luckily, it's next to Kriper Castle, where there are basically no other residents. Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have been complained about for disturbing the peace. Rock and roll is good, but you have to consider the time and place... Hiss! It's starting to get a bit cold."

"You're still acting crazy in the middle of the night. You're just as childish as ever, you haven't improved at all!"

Just as Silval felt cold after sweating, a familiar yet icy voice suddenly came from behind her.

She froze on the spot, unsure of the turbulent emotions surging within Dao Heart.

In short Silval quickly turned around and saw a person standing at the top of the highest spire on the roof. The person was alluring, upright, with arms crossed, and had golden hair with purple tips just like hers, which fluttered in the wind like a golden rose blooming under the moon.

Silval froze again, her eyes involuntarily reddening and burning.

'You promised you'd come whenever I played and sang on the rooftop... Why did it take you so long to keep your promise?'

Silval hastily wiped her eyes, suppressing the tears that almost fell, then gave a defiant snort and said:

"Is it illegal for me to sing on my own rooftop? I own this mechanical house, so isn't this considered trespassing, Great Guardian?"

"Hmph! I should really ban all your playing in Belobog, it's so noisy. Go back to sleep, and if you do it again, I won't let you off easily."

Cocolia's bright, beautiful face was cold, and her voice was devoid of any warmth. Then she turned and leaped, her alluring figure like an elegant cat soaring through the air, stepping on the protruding corners of the Kriper Castle walls as she climbed upwards, seemingly about to return to her home at the highest point.

"Hello!"

Silval was in a state of confusion; she just instinctively felt she should seize the opportunity.

But what can you say even if you catch them? So many years have passed; if they truly wanted to reconcile, they would have done so long ago. What can you do now?

Silval didn't know, but watching Cocolia's elegant figure soaring upwards, her years of pent-up anger erupted, and she raised the electric guitar she had just regained with all her might:

"Cocolia, you rascal... Ouch!"

Silval forgot she was on a sloping roof, and in her panic, she forgot her former skills. So when she smashed the guitar down, she lost her balance and tumbled off the roof.

As she plummeted, her mind blank, Silval saw the departing figure she both loved and hated suddenly turn around, step onto the wall, and then shoot towards her.

'She still cares about me after all!!!'

Silval saw that Cocolia had produced a crystal-clear ice spear and was shooting it toward her.

The gun tip pierced through the pajamas, hanging Silval's body on the wall of the machine house.

"Laugh!"

However, the sound of tearing fabric came again, clearly indicating that the thin pajamas were not enough to withstand the impact of the fall.

Fortunately, just as her pajamas were ripped, someone who had rushed over arrived.

Silval fell into a warm and fragrant embrace, as if her soul had fallen into the paradise she loved most in her youth, losing her mind and completely losing the ability to think.

"Clatter!"

Cocolia knelt down and hugged Silval tightly with both hands.

A gentle breeze was blowing, and otherwise it was completely silent.

This is why Silval can hear her own heart pounding, Cocolia's fragrant breath, and her flawless beauty so close at hand.

Everything seemed to freeze, and suddenly a ridiculous thought popped into Silval's head.

If only time could stop at this moment, how wonderful that would be!
