This was a lion-like roar that broke the loneliness and coldness of the Ice and Snow Winter Palace. With astonishing speed and explosive power, Captain Oka of Krem's Forbidden Army, holding a long sword in his hand, struck at the great mage Irene on the steps.
However, the high-level witch Irene was still more skilled. She turned slightly sideways to avoid the attack. At the same time, the instant frost spell quickly froze Captain Kram's arm. The next second, Oka's movements were obviously much slower.
He waved his arms with difficulty, trying to thrust the sword into Frost Witch's body, but his full-strength attack was clumsy and slow in the eyes of Witch Irene.
The great mage whispered a spell, and a frost spear appeared out of thin air in his hand. It easily deflected the assassination of the guard captain. The sharp guard sword was knocked back.
Just as Oka screamed and prepared to launch the next attack, the frost bound his feet. It was as if a pair of ice hands rose from the ground and tightly wrapped Oka's feet. He could not move, and his whole body was covered with ice.
The skin and blood were quickly frozen, making his movements even slower.
This was not a fair duel in the first place. As the most powerful frost witch beside the Snow Queen, Irene is even a powerful wizard who can independently summon a blizzard, and Oka, no matter how powerful he is, is just a mortal. A man of flesh and blood.
The body was destined to be no match for the power of magic. He roared and struggled. The captain of the imperial guard who could have killed a wild boar with one punch was now frozen in place, unable to move.
"Betraying the Queen will not end well!"
Erin whispered contemptuously. She held the frost spear tightly and stabbed the spear into Captain Kerem's chest with an expressionless expression.
…
The new moon is like a hook, and the night is as cold as water.
Standing on the balcony, Roy's figure disappeared into the darkness. Her bright eyes flashed with blood red. The news of Oka's death came in the evening. As the most important person placed by the Lamia family around Catalina,
Manpower, Oka's death is undoubtedly a huge loss to the family. Roy couldn't help but feel dejected, not because she had any special feelings for the captain of the Forbidden Army, but because she was hurt because of the damage to the family's interests. They cultivated and arranged
How long does it take to be the captain of the Krem Guard, and now, he has been pulled out by the Frost Witch beside the Queen. This means that Irene may have noticed more than just Oka. They must act accordingly in the future.
Be more cautious.
"Owner?"
In the room, the maid Nevea slowly walked from the shadows.
In her hand she held a bronze mirror that was as clean as new and could almost reflect the moonlight.
"Nevia, you go down now and inform all the sisters in the guild to avoid appearing near the Ice and Snow Winter Palace during this period. Also avoid contact with Pavel. This useless prince is in danger now."
"very dangerous?"
"Well, it's very dangerous. It's not that he is dangerous, but everyone around him is dangerous. Irene has begun to notice him." Roy frowned and a flash of light flashed across her pretty face.
Melancholy. "Anyway, you go down first and inform the sisters to stay away from the place of right and wrong. Opportunities will come again. We have been waiting for ten years and we don't care how many more months we wait. The current situation is that we must hide ourselves and wait.
Let’s wait and see after the storm has passed. Because I still don’t know who Irene will arrange to replace Oka. Also, those soldiers under Oka will definitely not escape this disaster. There will be new personnel stationed in the Winter Palace. Let’s see.
No matter how she arranges it, we still have a chance. There is no rush now."
"Yes Master."
"For Queen Neferata."
"For Queen Neferata!"
The two exchanged glances, and Nevea quickly retreated. The room returned to silence and darkness again.
…
It was two days later that Pavel learned the news of Oka's murder. When the high-ranking wizard Irene came to the prince's room with the new palace guards, the prince immediately understood what was going on. He looked cold as ice.
The witch Irene was full of hatred. She thought that Queen Katarina was out and leaving the city of Kislev, which was a good opportunity. But she didn't expect that her opponent would make such a move. At the most critical moment, the most important thing would be
Pavel knew very well what Oka's departure meant to Pavel. It meant that he would lose his personal freedom again in the future. What can a prince who no longer even has freedom do? Pavel even
Do you doubt whether the nobles who have been supporting you for two months will defect?
"Prince Pavel, how are you doing now?"
When the old and new guards were handed over, Irene walked into the room where the prince was imprisoned with a proud look on her face.
Unlike other rooms in the Winter Palace, Pavel's room is the only room that looks full of warm colors. There is a round ebony table in the hall, and chairs made of ivory and logs are neatly placed beside the round table. Against the wall
There is a tall wine cabinet. Inside, there are expensive and fine wines from all over the world. The curtains are beige, the same color as the sun. The flames in the fireplace are crackling, radiating precious heat to the entire room. This
It's a temperature that frost witches don't like.
"You have also seen that it feels better to be imprisoned?"
Pavel returned with a sullen expression. Outside, he was the prince of Kislev, one person inferior to ten thousand people. However, in the palace, everyone knew that the prince was nothing. Except for his name,
His power is not even as powerful as the witch beside the Snow Queen.
A slight smile appeared at the corner of Eileen's mouth, and her fair and cold face showed pride that could not be concealed.
"Being imprisoned? Your Highness the Prince must not speak nonsense. How can this be imprisoned? Her Majesty the Queen hopes that Your Highness the Prince will reflect on it and settle down."
"Then I want to thank you for taking care of me despite your busy schedule."
Pavel was angry.
Eileen smiled lightly. As the agent of the Ice Queen, when the Queen is away, all affairs of the Ice and Snow Winter Palace are under her management.
"You should thank me for discovering the bad bugs around you, Your Highness, in time to prevent His Highness from continuing to fall." High-level witch Irene said with a smile, "His Majesty the Witch naturally has her reasons for protecting you.
This is for your own good. The outside world is too dangerous. You need to identify who are your enemies and who are the people who really care about you. The Snow Queen is your mother, and she will never hurt you."
Erin said with a smile.
"She is such a good mother." A sneer flashed across Pavel's face. "Of course, she is also a good king."
"It's best for Your Highness to have such an awareness. There are too many people with ulterior motives. You must protect yourself. Staying here is the best protection for you."
Erin said with a smile. When their eyes met, they were full of hatred and contempt.
