Let's Train Heroine

Chapter 216: Heroine's Game Male Leads

The weather was perfect for skiing, with clear blue skies stretching as far as the eye could see, and the conditions were ideal for anyone looking to enjoy the slopes. However, the night before had been quite the opposite. A ferocious storm had hit the area, blanketing the mountains and the small town of Icelist in a thick layer of snow.

"Hah... hah... hah... Found you!"

A voice echoed across the crisp, snow-covered grounds of the luxurious hotel at the base of the mountain. A man, his entire body drenched in sweat despite the cold, emerged from the snow, his breath visible in the frosty air. His tall frame, clad in snow-soaked clothing, heaved as he panted heavily, steam rising from his overheated body.

"So this is the snowy mountain of Icelist... Damn, that was a long run from the royal capital!"

The man, his wild black hair sticking out in every direction, shouted to no one in particular. His voice was filled with energy, as if the sheer exhaustion from running all the way to the mountains didn't matter.

This man was Alec, one of the key capture characters. His reputation as a wild and overconfident man followed him everywhere, but his tenacity and fighting prowess were undisputed.

"Yeah, this is where I'll sharpen my manhood!"

Alec puffed out his chest, staring up at the snowy peaks that loomed over the town. His voice carried across the quiet morning as if challenging the mountains themselves.

The snow crunched beneath his boots as he took confident steps toward the hotel entrance. He wasn't here to chase after Maris. No, Alec had come to the snowy mountains to train, to push his limits further than ever before.

Recently, Alec had emerged victorious in a martial arts tournament. But that victory didn't sit well with him. His final match had been too close for comfort, and it had shaken him.

The samurai I fought in the final... he was strong. If I'd made one wrong move, it would've been me lying on the ground...

The memory replayed in his mind as he clenched his fists, the leather of his gloves creaking under the pressure. This world was vast and filled with powerful warriors.

Alec knew that if he was going to face even greater threats in the future, he had to become stronger. And what better way to temper his body and mind than by training in the harsh conditions of Icelist's unforgiving mountains?

"I'm going to get stronger here... No matter what!"

His resolve, burning brighter than ever, carried him forward. However, Alec wasn't a fool. While his hot-blooded nature pushed him to leap into challenges headfirst, he wasn't reckless.

He had already made arrangements for his stay. The hotel's owner was a distant relative, and they had prepared all the supplies he would need for his intense mountain training. Even Alec knew the importance of being prepared, especially in an environment as dangerous as the Icelist mountains.

"Huh?"

"What?"

As Alec neared the hotel's entrance, his sharp eyes caught sight of a familiar figure standing on the path just outside the lobby. A tall man, stood there, holding an umbrella to shield himself from the sunlight reflecting off the snow. His regal posture and composed demeanor made him stand out immediately.

Alec's brows furrowed as he recognized the man.

"Alec...?"

"Kai? What are you doing here?" Alec's voice was filled with surprise as he approached.

Kai, the crown prince of the kingdom, was not someone Alec expected to run into here. His cool, collected nature contrasted sharply with Alec's fiery presence. Kai's eyes narrowed slightly, taking in Alec's snow-covered figure with a bemused expression.

"That's what I should be asking you. Why are you covered in snow?" Kai replied calmly, his voice steady despite the biting cold.

Alec wiped some of the snow off his shoulders, shaking his head. "Training. I'm here to train in the mountains. But that's not important. Aren't you supposed to be off on some diplomatic mission to the neighboring country?"

Kai sighed, his breath visible in the cold air. He looked down for a moment before answering. "That was the plan... but things changed." Your next read awaits at M-V-L

Alec tilted his head, his curiosity piqued. "Changed? What happened?"

"The negotiations were delayed by two weeks. So, I figured I'd make use of the time by coming here for some winter leisure."

"Winter leisure, huh? You here by yourself?"

Kai's lips curled into a small, almost imperceptible smile. "Of course not. I have guards and attendants with me. And... I brought my fiancée."

"Your fiancée... Oh right, Maris's older sister," Alec muttered, scratching the back of his head.

"Yeah... Sarina," Kai said softly. His eyes drifted toward the hotel, where his fiancée was likely resting. "I've... been neglecting her lately. I thought this would be a good opportunity to spend some time together."

"Heh, so you're here to make up for lost time, huh? Well, good luck with that."

Kai shot him a pointed look but didn't respond immediately. Instead, he looked around the snowy landscape, as if searching for something. "And you, Alec? Are you just going to throw yourself into the mountains alone?"

"I came here to train, not flirt," Alec replied with a mischievous grin. "But man, this is quite the coincidence. I wonder if Ruki or Damain are here too."

Kai chuckled lightly, "That would be something, wouldn't it?"

Just as Alec was about to make a snarky remark, he heard footsteps approaching. Two distinct voices called out from behind them.

"Huh... Is that Prince Kai?"

"Alec is here too. What's going on?"

Both Alec and Kai turned toward the voices, their eyes widening in surprise.

Standing there, wrapped in thick winter coats, were none other than Ruki and Damain.

Alec blinked, his shock quickly giving way to amusement. "Well, I'll be damned. Looks like we've got ourselves a reunion."

"Yeah, quite unexpected situation," Kai nodded. Not expecting that a situation where four of them got together by coincidence and when they will find out Maris was also here, what expression they would have.
