She felt guilty, conflicted, struggled, and suppressed her emotions, but she needed to leave her daughter with a final moment of warmth.
A myriad of emotions were condensed on her expression, but she showed Bronya only a motherly gentleness.
Just a few days ago, Bronya felt that her mother had become a different person, but now her mother seems to have changed back.
However, her mother's attitude at this moment was not as strict as it had become when she grew up, but rather the gentleness she had most often felt when she was young.
Her mother doesn't see her as the successor to the Great Guardian; she simply treats her as a child.
The two walked hand in hand to the Goethe Hotel and sat down at a table in the corner of the second-floor lobby.
Cocolia remembered Bronya's favorite flavor, ordered her a dessert she liked, and fed it to her with a spoon.
The young Silvermane Iron Guard commander was a little embarrassed: "Mother... I'm not a child anymore."
Cocolia put down her spoon: "Yes, my Bronya is no longer a child. She is now a capable successor to the Great Guardian."
Bronya looked at the spoon her mother had put down and felt a little regretful.
Cocolia glanced out the window at Belloberg: "You truly love this city and its people, and the people of the lower classes can feel your sincerity. Mother believes you can lead Belloberg to a brighter future."
……
It's also the lobby on the second floor of the Goethe Hotel.
At a table not far away, the pink-haired girl seemed to have noticed something: "Those seem to be the Great Guardian and the Silvermane Iron Guard Commander over there. Shall we go say hello?"
Just as March 7th was about to set off, Bai Yan pulled her back: "Don't disturb them."
Dan Heng nodded in agreement with Bai Yan's point of view.
Starlight was so engrossed in eating that she didn't notice the previous conversation.
Dinner time has passed.
Bai Yan arrived at the place where life began, carrying desserts from the Goethe Hotel.
For Nguyen May, who is capable of nurturing life on planets, creating a powerful life form on the asteroid Arillow VI that could alter the climate and promote vegetation growth was not a problem.
The knowledge Bai Yan had provided her during this period, along with the materials from the place where life began, made her experiment go much more smoothly.
It has now been completed.
Ruan Mei also knew what he had been doing these past two days, eating desserts to replenish his energy while organizing the final experimental data.
Bai Yan placed his palm on the forehead of the green-haired woman named Yalilo, making the final touches on this deity who would bring spring to Yalilo No. 6.
After organizing the experimental data, Ruan Mei casually remarked, "You're not planning to appear, nor are you planning to let that Great Guardian mention you. Is it alright if the civilization you protect doesn't believe in you?"
Bai Yan turned around, his deep eyes looking at her: "Do you think I would protect those children because they believe in me?"
Chapter 56 When she left, spring took away the cold winter.
Because of the image that lingered in her heart, Cocolia's long-awaited moment of warmth felt rather long.
When the next morning arrived, under Bronya's supervision, the passageway between the upper and lower levels was fully opened and traffic began.
Some people began to emerge from the passage, among them a blue-haired, masked fool. The people underground had not seen the winter sun for a long time.
The mastermind behind the subterranean fire, Dr. Natasha, also came up with Seele.
They knew there was an important speech today, and Seele's opinion of the Silvermane Iron Guard had changed slightly after her encounter with Bronya, the leader of the Silvermane Iron Guard.
Hook and Clara also stepped out from the passageway between the upper and lower levels, their curious eyes scanning the surroundings.
News of the Great Guardian's important speech had spread, and people gathered in front of the high platform erected before the Monument of Everlasting Winter.
Cocolia stood quietly on it, her expression resolute.
Below the platform, the noise was mixed with both anticipation and sarcasm.
Scattered members of the Earthfire faction and other people from the lower districts mingled among the many people from the upper districts.
Unlike the other people in the upper district, they came to see what this seemingly enlightened Great Guardian was going to do next.
Cocolia clutched the emerald pearl she had found in the snowfield. When she raised the pearl high, she would stop breathing.
The Silvermane Iron Guards maintained order at the scene, and after a moment, the people quieted down a bit.
Many eyes were fixed on Cocolia on the high platform, some with expectation, some with curiosity, and some with disgust.
"People of Belloberg, listen to me."
A resolute and firm voice came from the mouth of this leader of human civilization.
This will be her final speech, her farewell.
“I am Cocolia Rand, your Great Guardian.”
"We live together on this land, we endure the harshness of the ice together, and we bear the endless challenges brought by the cold winter together."
……
“I have been stubborn and I have been mired in trouble. My mistakes have caused pain to the people of Belloberg.”
"To those in the lower tiers—I cannot ask for your forgiveness, because my own experience has told me that these past ten years have left you with too many scars."
“I do not ask for your forgiveness, nor do I have the right to ask you to forget the mistakes I have made.”
"I can only take action to pave the way for the living and to pay tribute to the dead."
"We have been wandering through the wind and snow, searching for that tiny but tenacious flame of life. We have been afraid of the darkness and despaired by the long winter."
“We are facing unprecedented challenges. We have sought countless ways to thaw the ice, hoping to regain the warmth of spring and the vitality of life. And now, we have the opportunity to embrace spring.”
"Without waiting for hundreds of years, you will step into the dreamlike and warm season of more than seven hundred years ago."
"As you embrace spring, I will also leave you."
……
A loud voice resounded throughout the square.
People listened quietly; they knew how to exchange pleasantries and apologize, but they didn't know how to embrace spring and the departure of the Great Guardian.
But they just don't understand it at this moment.
Cocolia didn't offer much explanation, for spring would tell the whole story.
Bronya stood in the audience, her heart pounding, and she sensed something.
"No one needs to grieve for me. I am neither fearless nor great. I am simply heading toward the end that a guilty person deserves."
"I cannot share the joy of nature's revival with you, nor can I walk with you toward a bright future, but I have no regrets, for my beloved people will embrace hope."
"When I leave, I don't want anyone to bow their heads in mourning. I hope you can focus on welcoming the arrival of spring, feeling the gentle breeze, and seeing all things come back to life..."
"My dear people, my fellow citizens of Belloberg, these words spoken to you are my final farewell."
Cocolia's speech was entering its final stage.
"What touches my heart deeply, and what grips my soul, through the cracks of time is my love for you, which is both profound and complex."
"What I want to say goodbye to is not only the people I cherish but also those I have hurt, but also the city we once protected together—Belberg, a home that has endured the ravages of time but remains steadfast and unyielding."
"Finally, I must bid farewell to this long winter of more than seven hundred years. Its coldness and ruthlessness have surrounded us, but have never truly defeated us."
"I will not be able to enjoy the world's renewed beauty with you, nor witness the splendor of its rebirth, but in my heart, this will not leave any regrets."
"Because I firmly believe that the people I love will use their strength and courage to continue writing a glorious chapter for this city."
"Please remember, even though I am not by your side, the song of spring will continue—spring belongs to each and every one of us, and to the indomitable Beloberg!"
Just as everyone was stunned, Cocolia suddenly raised her loud voice again.
"I, Cocolia Rand, the eighteenth High Warden of Beloborg, declare in this final moment—"
"The first year of Bellberg's recovery begins today!"
Cocolia raised the emerald jewel high in her hand, and her heart stopped beating instantly.
A gentle vitality enveloped her; she felt no pain, but her consciousness was fading away.
The dark clouds on the horizon suddenly dissipated, and the chill of winter began to fade.
The snowstorm stopped abruptly, and the warm sunshine shone on everyone's faces.

As Cocolia stood on the podium, her body began to lose strength, and her face showed a sense of relief and peace.
It seemed as if time itself had slowed down. Before the crowd could react, just as she was about to touch the cold ground, a miracle occurred.
A gentle figure appeared beside her like a spring breeze, with an almost unbelievable speed and lightness.
He has long, emerald-green hair, full of vitality like new bamboo shoots, swaying gently with his movements, as if there were the refreshing sound of green leaves rustling.
His hair shone with a warm luster in the sunlight, like grass glistening with morning dew.
He wore a long dress woven from tender leaves and petals, with wide sleeves that flowed in the wind, and light shoes that looked like spring flowers in full bloom.
Her graceful figure is like a willow swaying in the wind in nature, exuding a tranquility and gentleness that seems otherworldly.
He lifted Cocolia's body in his arms and, under the watchful eyes of the people, gradually rose into the sky.
His loving and forgiving gaze swept over the crowd, and everyone felt an unprecedented warmth and sense of rebirth.
Emerald green ripples burst forth from its body.
A glimpse of a rainbow appeared on the horizon, like a promise from heaven to humankind that even the darkest days will eventually pass.
As the ice and snow melted, the excess water, drawn by Him, crossed the sky and flowed into the ocean.
Some of the frozen antimatter legions also quietly dissipated into particles after a snap of the fingers somewhere.
After a long period of freezing and paleness, the earth finally broke free from the chains of frost. From the cracks, new life stubbornly broke through the soil and emerged.
The once bare trees, frozen in ice as silent witnesses to history, are now slowly unfurling their ancient branches, heralding the arrival of spring.
The entire planet was covered by a layer of new green, as if the power of life was covering up past wounds.
As people recover in the gentle spring breeze, as they see the tender buds sprouting from the cracks in the floorboards, as they watch the deity of spring depart...
They gradually realized what the speech they had just heard meant.
