It was snowing in spring, and Dennis stood on the balcony of the dormitory of the Magic Academy, looking at the snowy sky. It was already the turn of spring and summer, but the climate in Kislev this year was extremely cold. Snowflakes were still floating over the city. This made
She thought of the far north and her distant hometown.
It has been five years since you went back, right? Oh, no, six years. Last winter has passed. Time is like water, and you can’t catch it even if you want to. My father’s face is now a little blurry, but his voice is still clear
, his love for him still lingers in his heart and cannot be erased. Dennis knows that over the past hundreds of years, how many witches have erased the last traces of memory and concern for their loved ones through such a waste of time.
However, she can't. Dennis will always remember that she is the daughter of Lord Lawn, she will always remember the North, and she will always remember Blackhammer Castle. The place where she grew up, how much she wants to go home, how much she wants to fly as a snow eagle.
In the sky, she was home in the blink of an eye. But it didn't work. No matter how powerful the magic was, she didn't have the ability to take wings.
I don’t know what happened to my father... These days, there are more and more news from the north. Some people say that the north has been reduced to a piece of sand, the Watch Fortress is gone, and the backbone of the north is gone. The greenskins are heading north.
, causing irreversible destruction to the north. And the Snow Queen seemed to show no sign of sending troops to support.
Of course, some people say that a new leader has emerged in the north, and that is Rhodes. Has her father become the new leader? Dennis shouted in her heart... Is this good or bad? She even wondered.
Because in people's minds, his father has become the first person to fight against the greenskins. His reputation is increasing day by day, even gradually surpassing the Snow Queen... Dennis knows that this is not a good thing...
The imprisonment-like life made her grow up prematurely. After seeing countless dark sides of the magic academy, Dennis clearly realized what kind of czar she was serving. Catalina was just a vampire, and her desire for power exceeded
anything else.
If there were two armies standing in front of her at the same time, one was the orcs and green-skinned army, and the other was the uprising mob army, she would definitely target the People's Army, because only the People's Army was really attacking her.
The army that challenged the ruling power, and that green-skinned army came only for destruction and killing. Even if the kingdom was destroyed, she would not bend her knees to anyone. This is Katarina. Dennis knew Katarina
Even like this, she gradually understood what kind of tyrant she was serving. But right now, she had no choice.
"Dennis, His Royal Highness is here to see you."
Outside the door, tutor Annie pushed the door open and entered.
Before Anne could finish speaking, Catalina's son Pavel stood in front of her mentor Anne.
Prince Kislev is wearing a velvet coat and a gold-embroidered cloak hanging on his left shoulder through a silver ring. His long, light yellow hair is naturally scattered on his shoulders. Under the faint light, the prince has a somewhat melancholic temperament.
"May I come inside?"
Pavel did not go into the house directly, but asked politely at the door.
Of course, with his status, Dennis does not have the right to say "no".
"Well, of course, Your Highness."
Dennis the Witch returns politely.
Soon, the tutor walked away wisely. Denise is now a celebrity in the magic academy, not only because of her unusual talent and powerful magic ability, but also because she is the object of pursuit of Pavel, the queen's son. Yes, everyone with a discerning eye sees it.
Every time Pavel comes to the Magic Academy, he has various names, but everyone knows that the person he really wants to see is Dennis.
"I knew you didn't have to go to class today, so I came here."
Pavel closed the door and walked lightly to sit next to Dennis. At this time, Dennis had walked back to the room from the balcony and sat on a chair. He looked at the elegant Prince of Kislev quietly.
As a genius witch at the Magic Academy, Denis has the privilege of using a dormitory alone. This makes it easier for the Queen to find her. However, Pavel missed it, giving the young prince a chance to be alone with his beloved witch.
Stay together.
"Your Highness, you always know my lessons clearly."
Dennis smiled. His white teeth were slightly exposed, and a few strands of hair were floating between his forehead. Pavel couldn't help himself from his innocent look.
"Of course, in the magic academy, except Dennis, no one can make me so interested." Pavel said happily, "By the way, there is no one else here, you don't have to be so reserved, just call me Pavel."
"Okay, Prince Pavel."
"It's Pavel."
"Pavel..."
Dennis repeated the sentence, and Pavel smiled happily. He looked at Dennis carefully, as if he was admiring the goddess in his heart. Dennis, who was only fourteen years old, has now grown into a generous and innocent person.
A girl. She has an almost elf-like figure and a pure and lovely face. At the same time, the innocence in her character still remains. This is what keeps Pavel awake at night and unable to extricate himself. Kisli
There is no shortage of women around the prince husband. Many princes and nobles want to marry their daughters to the son of the tsar, but Pavel does not like any of them. Only Denis, the frost witch, is so interested.
Pavel stared at Dennis for a while, then carefully took out a treasure from his arms, a gift to be exact.
"For you."
Pavel said with a smile and handed the gift to the witch Denis.
"what is it then?"
Dennis asked curiously.
"You'll know after you open it and take a look."
Pavel was full of confidence and seemed to be looking forward to it even more than Dennis.
Stretching out his slender hand, Dennis slowly opened the exquisite gift box, and a castle model carved from crystal gradually came into view.
"Wow……"
After seeing the whole picture, Dennis couldn't help but exclaimed. It was an exquisite model of the northern border city Blackhammer Castle. Carving on crystal was originally a very difficult job. All crystal crafts were very expensive luxuries. The price
More than gold. The model of Blackhammer Castle in front of you is even more exquisite. It can be imagined that to carve such a handicraft of a castle model, it would take at least three months of work by a skilled craftsman.
Pavel was so interested, which made Denis suddenly feel embarrassed. From the bottom of her heart, she didn't like this little prince very much. He was very handsome, not a bad person, and he was very caring about her. But Denis just didn't care much about him.
The big feeling is that she misses him occasionally, but it's not the kind of longing between lovers. It's more of an attachment caused by her loneliness. She hopes to have someone to talk to with her, that's all. Dennis feels a little complicated, she doesn't
Know whether you should accept Pavel's gift or accept his kindness.
"Like it?"
Just when he was hesitating and tangled, Pavel spoke. He was full of expectation and his eyes were full of concern. This made Dennis feel a little excited.
She nodded. And the prince smiled happily like a child who got a toy. He hadn't been so happy for a long time, as if seeing Dennis happy made him happy. This emotion was almost uncontrollable. He longed to spend more time with Dennis.
Stay for a while and cherish every minute and every second you spend with her.
"As long as you like it. I know that you have been away from your hometown for six years, and you have not been back once in these six years. Therefore, I have people carefully build this model so that you can miss your hometown every day.
hometown."
Pavel said softly. He observed Denis and cared about her every move and every expression.
"Thank you, Pavel." An innocent smile appeared at the corner of Dennis's mouth, but then, a trace of melancholy was written on her still immature face, "But if you give me such an expensive gift, your mother will find out.
of……"
"Are you talking about my mother?" Pavel's eyes flashed with a trace of arrogance and contempt, "So what if she finds out? This is a gift from me to you, does it also need her consent?"
Pavel stood up, dissatisfaction evident on his face.
"That's not to say, I just want to say - the Snow Queen will not let you be so close to a witch..."
Dennis walked behind Pavel and said softly.
"This is my freedom, she has no right to interfere." Pavel returned decisively. He turned around and put a hand on Dennis's shoulder, "Don't worry, I am the prince of Kislev. I have this power."
There are still some. Even if my mother doesn't want me to get too close to you now, I believe she will change her view in the future. Besides, you are not an ordinary witch, you are the most promising witch in Kislev.
If you were born into a ducal family, you would probably be Hand of the Queen now."
Faced with Pavel's kindness, Denis just smiled. She pushed away Pavel's hand and took a small step back. She still knew the complexity of many interpersonal relationships. Denis knew very well what kind of person the Snow Queen was. She was absolutely
She will not change herself because of other people's words. Moreover, she will not be as close to her son as the outside world imagines.
Also, Dennis herself couldn't figure out what her feelings for Pavel were... Before that, she had better keep a distance from the prince, she thought...
