The cold rain was falling, washing the walls of the Bandhavgarh Palace clean and spotless. Without the hustle and bustle of the past, this was somewhat uncomfortable for Dennis. She thought, maybe she still likes the palace to be more lively.
It is still somewhat lonely and deserted inside the wall. Perhaps the noisy Black Hammer Castle, the place where she grew up, is suitable for her? Maybe she should become an ordinary noble princess, the daughter of a lord, and choose the person she likes.
Instead of sitting in this cold palace and participating in the never-ending struggle for power.
However, this kind of thought only lasted for a moment, and reason swept them away. The path I chose has led to today, and there is no turning back. Alas, it would be great if Boris was by my side...
It's a pity that the man has given up on their relationship. She loves him and hates him at the same time. She didn't know what love-hate intertwining was before, but now, she knows it personally.
For breakfast, Dennis ordered himself two eggs, a loaf of butter bread, and a glass of honey water. It was simple but not rough. Dennis had always kept in mind his father's teachings. Life should not be too luxurious. She is a queen, and her words and deeds represent
The image of the royal family requires the people to do what they want, they must first do it themselves.
When the servant brought breakfast, Dennis cracked the second egg and found a half-formed chicken with bloody flesh inside. She couldn't help but feel sick in her stomach. She wanted to reprimand loudly, but the words came to her lips.
Suppressed.
The servants on the side were already trembling with fear.
"Replace it and get a new one."
Unexpectedly, Dennis simply said.
The servant, whose face turned pale with fright, quickly complied.
The air was cold and the candlelight was weak. The queen took a breath of cold air, but did not feel much comfort. As a frost witch, she had not been to the magic academy for a long time to practice.
What an unlucky day... Dennis said to himself. As soon as he finished speaking, the voice of Royal Guardsman Virgil came from outside the door——
"Your Highness the Queen, Grand Duke Sam'il would like to see you."
Sure enough, trouble is coming. Dennis said to himself.
"Let him in."
…
Soon, the "uncle" dressed in gorgeous clothes came to the reception room with cheerful steps. The queen's reception room. This is where Dennis handles official business.
"Long time no see, my lovely niece-in-law. You look beautiful again."
Samuel narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.
But Dennis felt nauseous. "I'm afraid it wasn't long ago. We just met at the Imperial Council last week. Uncle, your memory is really not very good."
Dennis smiled.
"Oh, yes, yes, I almost forgot about the green velvet coat and mink cloak you wore that time. Uh-huh, yes, yes."
Samuel smiled and walked to the sofa and sat down without any politeness.
"It's a little cold here."
Samil said, looking around. There was no brazier in the empty room, only a few candles emitting a faint light. Dennis was a frost witch, and so were the maids around him. She would not feel cold. But for Sam
For an elderly person like El, it is a bit too much.
"Bring the brazier in."
Dennis ordered the servants around to arrive.
Charcoal burned in the gold-plated round pot, making a crackling sound. Sam'il quickly stretched out his delicate and fat hands and placed them on top of the fire pot to keep warm.
"Tell me, uncle, what orders do you have for me today?"
Dennis said jokingly.
"I don't dare to give orders, you are the queen."
"No matter what, I will call you uncle."
There was something wrong in Dennis's words, and Samuel quickly figured it out. However, being cunning, he pretended to be stupid in front of his young nephew-in-law.
"It's a pity that Pavel doesn't live up to expectations. He doesn't seem to want to maintain the family bond between us."
Samuel frowned and said.
"I have heard about those rumors, and I think one day I will explain it to Pavel. He is supposed to represent the image of the royal family..."
Denise bit her lip and said. Although she had given her love to Boris, deep down in her heart, she still did not want Pavel to fall. For the stability of the kingdom, she had to maintain the relationship with Pavel as husband and wife, even if it was only on the surface.
.
"I know my nephew very well. I watched him grow up, and I know his character, his hobbies, and his character very well. If a family does not speak the same language, I feel sorry for him.
My nephew-in-law, I can only say that your decision was too hasty and too emotional. Mud cannot support the wall. Sorry, I shouldn't have said this about my nephew, but he is really..."
Samil made a look of regret that he hated iron for not becoming steel. At the same time, he looked at Dennis with a look of love and regret. After some operations, Dennis also relaxed his vigilance a little, but thinking about what Samil had done in the past
Therefore, Dennis remained calm and composed. The old fox had never had any good intentions. His peek at the throne and his desire for wealth and status had penetrated into Samil's bones.
"Nonetheless, we still have to respect the Tsar. I will try to get him back on track."
Dennis recovered from his withered mood and sat down to speak.
"Alas, some things can be achieved with hard work, but not necessarily. Some things, we can control ourselves, but there are some things, we can't do anything... Human beings are really too complicated."
Samuel spoke in a roundabout way. This made Dennis feel even more alert. Intuitively, she felt that Samuel's purpose in coming to her today was not simple.
"Pavel has a weak nature, which can be seen from his confrontation with Katarina. He has been imprisoned deep in the palace since he was a child, and he obeys his mother's orders. He is weak, hesitant in doing things, and can easily be instigated by others. Even if he is in charge
One moment he listens to your words, and the next moment he may change his mind. It is really difficult to change his character."
"What do you want to say?"
Dennis said bluntly. She didn't want to mince words. The key was that she didn't want to talk nonsense with people like Samuel.
"I want to say that you don't have to hide your inner feelings anymore. Everyone has the right to pursue beautiful love. What happened between you and that boy..."
"shut up!"
Leng Leng interrupted Sam'il's words with commanding words. The atmosphere at the scene turned to freezing point. The burning charcoal in the brazier was also extinguished in an instant.
"Whether you admit it or not, this is a fact. Someone has seen it and reported it to me. Boris is an excellent child. He deserves your love..."
"I say it again, shut up! Duke Samuel, because you are the uncle of the Tsar, I will not hold you accountable, otherwise, I will put you in the dungeon!"
"You have no right to do this. Moreover, Pavel will know sooner or later, and all of Kislev will know sooner or later. Only I can help you hide it..."
Facing the uncontrollable anger of Queen Denis, Samuel remained calm. Without the brazier, he stretched out his hands on his sleeves with a calm look on his face.
Seeing this, Dennis only felt that the matter was not simple. The fact that Samil dared to come here today to speak out about this proved that he had already prepared a backup plan. If he couldn't get out of this room today, someone might hit Pavel on the back foot.
Report. Moreover, if he did not have certain evidence, this guy would not be so arrogant...
Thinking of this, Dennis couldn't help but force herself to calm down. What happened between her and Boris must not be leaked, and she must not let other people know. Otherwise, she will become the target of millions of people, and will become the target of all the Kisli ladies. Not only
If the queen's position is not guaranteed, it will have an indelible negative impact on her father. The entire kingdom may even be in turmoil.
The consequences were too serious, and Dennis had to think carefully. And this was the purpose of Samuel, the old fox, who came to him.
"What do you want?"
After calming down, Dennis sat in his seat, stared at Samuel, and asked coldly.
