It's so cold... It's like falling into an ice cellar, maybe a glacier. Frost covers the skin, and the surging blood struggles for the last time in the frozen blood vessels, spreading and growing from the bottom of my heart.
The young man frowned. He tried hard to escape from the cold dream. Everything was so familiar, but the drowning-like suffocation never appeared.
Xavier still remembered that last night he looked at the parchment scrolls until late at night before lying down and falling into a deep sleep from the fatigue of the day.
He woke up slightly, and the soft wool quilt and mattress told him that he was still in the bedroom of Rose Castle. The coldness stimulated his heart, but his eyelids seemed to be covered with frost and snow, making it difficult to open them.
"Ahem..." Xavier tried hard to move his frozen fingers, which were trembling slightly, but he couldn't even bend them.
It's not my cold body... it's real coldness, but isn't I in the Rose Castle? There should be a fire burning all night long in the fireplace, why is it so cold!
Cold? The corners of Xavier's mouth twitched, was he still afraid of the cold?
Xavier adjusted his breathing and kept it as low as possible. At that moment, he heard two other undisguised breathing sounds in this room.
"Sister Michelle, Your Highness is awake!" A soft exclamation came, and then a warm little hand covered Xavier's hand. A warm current came from the palm of his hand and instantly flowed to his limbs.
It seemed that I had this feeling at some point... It was as if I was sinking into a cold sea in a dream, and a pair of super small and soft hands pulled me up.
"Ye Luo..." Xavier spoke as if he was talking in his sleep. He couldn't help but cough a few times. Before he even opened his eyes, a pair of cold hands covered his mouth.
"Stop talking, Your Highness." A cold voice came, and the girl's breath hit the back of Xavier's neck.
Michelle Xin, the ice witch. After thinking about this voice, Xavier thought of the girl he had only met a few times.
Her father should be a great knight in Cinto City. You can see the shadow of the noble knight in the way he sits, stands, talks, and his current techniques.
"Ye Luo, can you still feel her breath?" Michelle lowered her voice, leaning against Xavier's ear and looking at the little Loli in front of her.
"Hiss..." Xavier slowly adapted to the dark blue darkness. The precision mechanical watch beside the bed was covered with a layer of frost, and the fluorescent hands emitted a faint blue light in the darkness.
He took a vague look and saw that it was probably around five o'clock in the morning, still an hour and a half before sunrise in Noli.
Most of the huge window, which was covered by frost, was covered by curtains. Especially on the four edges, the thick layer of ice was nearly five centimeters.
Xavier's heart skipped a beat, which meant that his bedroom had been completely wrapped in Michelle's frost. But the entire Rose Castle was still sleeping!
If Michelle has any thoughts about Xavier, she can assassinate him unknowingly before the entire Rose Castle reacts!
It seems that Qiangwei's defense is going to be strengthened. Xavier thought to himself.
"I don't know, it's very strange! Sister Michelle, her aura is very weak, but she appears in the entire Rose Castle..."
Ye Luo pursed her lips tiredly, and continued to close her eyes: "Sometimes she appears on the fourth floor, but she always appears on the third floor the next second. The jump is huge, but she hasn't left yet."
"She has entered most of the houses, but she has not harmed anyone. She must be looking for something..."
"Probably His Highness Xavier." Michelle pursed her lips and nodded.
"Sister Michelle..."
"Isn't she here yet?"
"Or she can't come in at all." Seeing Michelle's confusion, Xavier finally spoke.
"Can't come in? Well... it's possible." Michelle rubbed the ends of her long chestnut hair and nodded.
In other words, is there a witch looking for him in the Rose Castle now? After listening to the conversation between Yeluo and Michelle, Xavier probably came to a conclusion.
"Your Highness Xavier, if you feel that your limbs have recovered, please stop leaning on me."
Suddenly, Michelle pushed Xavier's body. In order to control Xavier who had just woken up and not make a sound, Michelle pressed her whole body behind him.
"It's an honor for me to be with a girl as cold as ice." Xavier smiled slyly, but he sat up without any hesitation and put on the woolen sweater beside him.
"Huh." Michelle's cold face turned slightly red, "Your Highness, do you talk like this to every girl?"
Xavier smiled and did not answer her. He stood up and walked to the desk on the woolen blanket that was originally soft but was now stiff from the cold.
"You're worried about me." Xavier suddenly raised his head and looked seriously at Michelle sitting beside his bed.
"Your Highness, please don't think too much. If you die, both Yeluo and the citizens of Noli will fall into a great panic. In addition, there is already a shortage of supplies this year, and they will die in Noli.
"
Michelle snorted softly and looked into Xavier's eyes with some contempt.
"So you agreed to my plan to stay in Norway?" Xavier raised his chin, staring directly into gray-blue eyes with ice-blue eyes.
"Your Highness, whether you stay in Noli or not, what does it have to do with me? But please let Yeluo leave safely before that..."
"Sister Michelle, I will follow Your Highness..." Ye Luo on the side tugged at the hem of Michelle's clothes, and she puffed up her cheeks and became a little angry.
"I promise you." This was the first time that someone looked directly into his eyes without avoiding it. Xavier looked at Michelle with interest.
Michelle gently stroked Ye Luo's head: "And Joao, I said that the knights of the Xin family will not owe any favors. Whatever you want, as long as it does not violate the principles, I will try my best to help you do it.
"
"Five?"
Xavier looked at Michelle who was a little embarrassed with a smile. According to the information presented by Arthur, the daughter of the great knight of Norway was only 17 years old.
Many aristocratic girls of this age should still act coquettishly in the arms of their parents, but she can only rely on herself and her father's close friend, Lord João.
At this time, Michelle was a little at a loss, but she always kept in mind what her father taught her. Xavier helped her, so she should repay Xavier.
"Yes, as long as it doesn't violate my principles..." Michelle gritted her teeth, feeling a little aggrieved, but she could only accept it.
"Warming the bed...does it violate the principles?" Xavier nodded thoughtfully, seemingly thinking for a long time before speaking.
"..." Michelle narrowed her eyes slightly, and the icy cold light was directed towards Xavier, "If you don't mind me freezing you to death."
As she spoke, she raised her head proudly, and the temperature of the entire bedroom instantly dropped several degrees, and the glass let out an icy cry. Yeluo wrapped her winter maid uniform tightly, and even Xavier shivered.
"Dong dong dong dong dong dong"
Suddenly, there was a knock on the wooden door of the large bedroom.
"Is it her?" Michelle restrained her anger, her icy face was still covered with frost. But on her hands, icicles that could be seen with the naked eye were condensing at a very fast speed.
"Lord Arthur, it's urgent! I'm Candelon, and I have important news about the port of Norway!" The people outside roared anxiously.
