The Ice and Snow Winter Palace is the most luxurious and core building complex in the Bandhavgarh Palace. It is like a palace carved from crystal and frost. It is full of beautiful artistic atmosphere and looks crystal clear, beautiful and beautiful under the sunlight.
Dignified. However, for Dennis at this moment, he has no time to appreciate this beautiful scenery and warm sunshine. Katarina is about to enter the city. This is a fact that people are spreading. The Snow Queen is only 10 kilometers away from the city of Kislev.
It's two days' journey, and she will enter the city one step ahead of the northern army. And in the city, there are still troops loyal to her.
"There isn't much time left, let's keep the story short."
Standing on the rooftop, the "young and beautiful" vampire Roy said calmly. She looked far into the distance, and saw the city's densely packed buildings extending to the end of her sight. She was too familiar with this city, and Dennis
Likewise, she has lived here for many years. With her family's mission in mind, she has been lurking in the Winter Palace for ten years.
"The Northern Army defeated the Southern Army, and Irene died tragically. Your father is really a hero. He completed a task that is impossible for ordinary people. However, it is not the final victory. Catalina is about to enter the city, and you know she will do it for
Kill your opponent and do something. Your current situation is very dangerous, very dangerous. Everyone knows that if Catalina wants to deal with your father, it is enough to take you out. Before, she ignored you, but now, you have become her
The most important bargaining chip. Don’t count on Pavel, even the prince of Kislev can’t protect you. You and I both know what kind of person he is.”
Roy spoke calmly, even though the situation in front of her was so dangerous. But she remained calm and calm, and her mood remained calm. Over the past decades, she had witnessed too many life and death, too many intrigues and bloody events.
In the empire, among the powerful and powerful, the darkness and corruption are no less than anywhere in the world.
"I know Pavel can't protect me this time."
Dennis answered equally calmly. Her eyes were blurred as she looked into the distance, where her father would enter the city. Although, the reality was that Catalina would come back first.
"But I can." Roy turned around and said, "For our common goal, you must live."
There was depth in her clear eyes. For a moment, even Dennis didn't know what this woman wanted. Did she want anything in return? If she wanted to be like Catalina, participate in Kislev's internal affairs, in the new dynasty
Then, her father would never agree. But if it weren't for this, and she helped her wholeheartedly, was it really just to get rid of the family traitors? If so, what would this vampire family do to Katarina?
How much hate...
"Tonight, someone will come to pick you up. When the time comes, just follow him. Don't ask, don't say anything, don't take anything with you. You will leave the city and reunite with your father. You know, this is the last chance and the only one.
Chance."
Roy continued.
Dennis knew that what this female vampire said was right. The great magician Irene was dead and Catalina had not returned. The big nobles in the city were busy escaping. The whole city was in chaos. It was the perfect time to fish in troubled waters and escape. In the past seven years,
This is the only real chance.
Dennis nodded, but then there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
"Do you have any other concerns, little girl?"
Roy's insight was amazing, no matter how well Dennis' emotions were hidden, she still noticed them.
Dennis didn't answer, but Roy continued-
"Do you still have hope for that prince?"
"Don't count on him anymore. His weakness and hesitation will kill you and himself. Think about it, if Pavel knew about this, how would he react? He will definitely not let you go. He left
Without leaving you, he thinks that his power is strong enough to protect you. However, that is his wishful thinking and naive thinking. How many of the knights who support him are waiting for the northern army to enter the city and attack Rhodes
Surrender. Also, Pavel is beginning to have doubts about you. You should know that he longs for the throne. For many years, he has been the little prince forgotten in the corner. Now, he finally has a chance to prove himself, and
The throne of the Tsar is right in front of you, and he will never give it up. If you return to your father, what will he think? You should know this."
Roy's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Dennis's heart. Yes, these years of getting along with Pavel made her know him too well. Pavel is like a child who has not grown up. He wants to prove himself too much... and achieve
The throne is the most powerful proof. Dennis does not doubt Pavel's love for him, but sometimes love can be distorted if it is too deep. Possessiveness and extreme emotions can distort a person's psychology.
"Dennis, we are definitely not enemies. If we were, I would not tell you my true identity, let alone rescue you. Just because we are allies, I would like to remind you a few words." Roy said,
"Your followers, the wizards in the magic academy, it is not the time to riot yet. When will it be the time for them to resist Catalina? You know better than me. It must be when the northern army attacks the city.
.”
"So, Denis, I think you should care more about your followers than Pavel. After all, those are your only supporters in this city."
Roy said, with unconcealable pride flashing across her face. Obviously, she knew the inside story of Kislev so well that she almost knew it like the back of her hand...
…
The bright moon is in the sky, and the city of Kislev is shrouded in darkness. Under the vast night sky, there are dots of starlight in the city streets. Things that cannot be done openly during the day can be done under the cover of night. Dennis is under the cover of the man in black.
Under the leadership, they quietly passed through the streets and alleys of the city. They did not ride in a carriage, fearing that the target would be too big. They just wore black cloaks and walked through the boundless night like shadow lynxes.
In the alley, Dennis looked back at the snow-covered Winter Palace and the Magic Academy shrouded in night. Was he really going to leave there? Seven years, a full seven years, his childhood and youth were spent in that cage, and now
, is he really going to leave there? Seven years in a hurry, and such a long seven years, looking back now, it seems like a dream. His best sisters - Villanelle, Daisy... and
Prince Pavel...she didn't even have time and didn't dare to say goodbye to them.
Maybe, this is really about leaving... Dennis said to himself. This is not a dream... this is real, and he is about to see his father, the father who he has longed for and abandoned his daughter.
No, he is not like this! He has his own difficulties, and he should do this. And as long as he does this, he is Rhodes and his father...
Dennis had mixed feelings in her heart. Conflicts and tensions filled her brain. Unprecedented emotional fluctuations came to her heart. Even when facing the Queen or facing a more powerful enemy, she had never been so nervous.
Now, I have to leave, I have to leave, but this emotion is coming like a tide.
On the narrow streets, crowds of people surged past like a torrent. Not far away, the light of fire accompanied the noise of the crowd, and uneasy news came.
"We should take a detour, it's not safe ahead."
Dennis whispered. She buried her face under her cloak, only exposing her small cherry mouth.
"No, there is no time. We must stay away from this city before dawn. Compared to Catalina, these mobs are nothing to mention."
The man in black returned in a low voice. He pushed aside the crowd and continued walking forward with Dennis.
Surrounded by civilians in ragged clothes, the smell of alcohol, urine, and sweat came from all around, making Dennis almost suffocated. She had already predicted what the city had become. But when she
When they actually came to the civilian area, they realized that things were much harsher than they imagined. They were not living at all, but simply trying to survive...
When he walked into the crowd, Dennis saw clearly that these hungry civilians were robbing a nobleman's carriage. A carriage filled with gold and silver treasures. The driver of the carriage had been beaten all over and was lying on the ground unable to get up.
, the guard was also beaten and fell to the ground. The cargo boxes in the carriage were being robbed... Normally, these civilians would not dare to rob a noble's carriage, but now, the city is in chaos, so-called
Order is still maintained only in the palace and the military camp, while other places have long been in chaos.
Next to Dennis, a large group of mobs opened the ornately decorated wooden boxes and robbed the property inside like crazy. Those who could not grab the gold and silver treasures lay on top of the guards and stripped off the guards' armor. Everyone had a look on their face.
Written with anger.
Dennis hid his face and passed by. Several thugs seemed to recognize her as a girl and rushed over to do something evil. The man in black who was leading the way stabbed her to the ground. She was bleeding. The thugs immediately dispersed in all directions.
, However, even if bloodshed occurred, no one would care. They continued to fight for the hard-won wealth, and the curses and shouts completely drowned out the groans of the injured...
