Deep in the Kislev Magic Academy, the Ice Queen Katarina held the young Dennis and taught her magic step by step. The cold snowflakes seemed to appear out of thin air and covered Dennis's fingertips. Compared with the one who had just arrived at the Magic Academy,
Over time, her magic ability has improved a lot. She learns very quickly. She can be said to be the fastest learner in the entire magic academy. She is a rare genius in the Kingdom of Kislev in a century. Therefore, she is also favored by the Snow Queen.
Extra care.
Under the simple spell, more and more snowflakes appeared in Dennis' hands, gradually forming a small ball of snow. She should have smiled, but she didn't.
Every little girl is happy when she masters magic for the first time. But Dennis is not. There is no expression on her delicate little face, just like...a piece of cryolite.
From her, Catalina seemed to see what she was like when she was young. Genius wizards all have weird and withdrawn personalities, and Catalina recalled that she was so out of tune with everyone when she was young.
She always lives alone and has the most powerful magic power. Others dare not bully her. At the same time, she is too lazy to talk to others.
Dennis in front of me had this feeling. She was very outstanding. The snowball was floating on her palm, and her entire palm was covered with ice and snow, which made her look very beautiful.
"Now, imagine something you like and turn the snowball into what you like."
Katerina said with a smile.
Dennis's eyes were closed tightly, her delicate fingers flexed and stretched slightly, and the snowball in her hand began to change into different shapes, as if a pair of invisible hands were shaping it. Finally, it turned into a galloping pony. Tiny
The horse's legs are galloping in the air, and countless dust-like snowflakes are falling into the sky, which is lifelike.
A smile appeared on Catalina's lips. It had been many years since she had seen such an outstanding witch apprentice.
"My dear, tell me, why do you like ponies?"
The Queen asked. She stared at Dennis, with a hint of scarlet horror in her gentle eyes.
"Because my father likes horses..."
Dennis answered. Her eyes still stayed on the galloping pony, looking at its unrestrained appearance, imagining the grassland under her feet and the blue sky above her head. Even though the top of her head was the cold dome of the Winter Palace now.
"Oh, yes, he is a knight. An unqualified knight."
Catalina added. Her smile disappeared, followed by a ghostly voice.
"But it doesn't matter, I will train you to become a qualified wizard. You will become the youngest frost witch in the history of Kislev Magic Academy. In the future, you will also have the power and status to have the same relationship with Rose and Lin.
You will reach the same status. You will become a teacher at Kislev Magic Academy. When you reach adulthood, maybe you should also have a husband, a duke or minister of this kingdom."
Catalina said, sitting up from the ice chair. Her eyes no longer looked directly at Dennis, but looked down at her with a proud attitude.
The cold words stung Denise, and she felt the queen's aura, that sense of oppression, as if someone used magic to destroy the most cherished thing in your heart, and then stuffed it into something you didn't know or understand.
Thing, it's cold, hard, and irresistible...
…
"Look, the little princess is back."
After a day of training and study, Dennis returned to his dormitory. The furniture made of ebony exuded a light fragrance. It is said that such high-end wood comes from the Arabi region and is a high-end imported product. And the furniture made of ebony
The finished furniture is even more valuable. These furniture can only be found in Kislev's royal palace, city hall, magic academy and a few noble houses. Dennis was assigned to the best dormitory.
However, the people here are not so welcoming to her. Most of the witch apprentices in the same dormitory as her are older than her and come from powerful families. Only Dennis has a very ordinary family background, so ordinary that he has almost no sense of existence. His mother
He died early, and his father was only a small castle lord in the border area. Even if he told the name of the castle, not many people knew him. Among a group of second-generation officials, Dennis seemed so small.
When she came back, her roommates immediately laughed at her.
But there was always someone who stood up for her. The older witch apprentice stood up and dispersed the crowd.
"Okay, go back to sleep."
She said loudly. The junior apprentices immediately walked away and returned to their beds.
As the eldest witch, Daisy did not allow the senior apprentices in the dormitory to bully Dennis. She walked up to Dennis, helped her pack up various magic props, and then lay on the same bed with her to chat.
The bed of the witch apprentice was very large, big enough to accommodate three adult witches sleeping together. When Dennis first came to the dormitory, he thought it was for the dormitory, but when he saw that everyone's bed was so big, he realized that
It was a standard bed. It was several times larger than the bed she slept on in Blackhammer Castle. In that small castle room in the north, she could only sleep on a small bed that was just big enough for her to turn over.
In winter, there is a stove in the room, but even if it is covered with several layers of feather quilts, it still feels cold. But here, the room temperature is constant and very comfortable. Except for losing freedom and looking at people's faces, everything is good here. However, freedom is
is the most important.
"The Queen came to see you alone again today?"
Daisy lay next to Dennis and asked softly. Dennis liked her hair, which was fine and golden, unlike those witch mentors who used magic powder to make it weird and unnatural. Daisy's long hair was very beautiful and natural.
She is beautiful. Moreover, the smell on her body is also very charming. It is a light fragrance, as if it comes from the sea. She has been to the seaside before, leaving Blackhammer Castle and heading west, which can be reached in less than a day's journey.
Coastline. In the past, my father would take me to the beach every year in the summer, but now, I can no longer go.
"Yes."
Dennis answered. She soon became sleepy, and she was still too tired from training during the day. She endured twice as much training as her peers. Her body was always exhausted.
"Then did she say anything special to you?"
Daisy asked with concern. Her big eyes looked at Dennis, full of care.
"Special words? What aspects are you referring to? It seems that there is none... The Queen is as interested in my learning ability as before."
Dennis pouted in reply. She grabbed the quilt and covered all her parts from the neck down. Only her cute little head stuck out. Daisy often said that she looked like a kitten.
"oh……"
"By the way, Her Royal Highness the Queen did say something special to me today. She told me to study hard and arrange a husband, a position, and a position in the kingdom for me in the future. But I was not interested in what she said.
well."
Dennis said softly, afraid that others would hear him.
"My good sister, you have to be careful with her in this matter. I heard that our Queen has some secrets that cannot be told."
Daisy said with an ugly face. She stared at Dennis, but it was not with a condescending and majestic look, but with a kind of tenderness and real concern.
"What secret?"
Dennis asked.
"Do you know why our queen has lived so long and yet remains so young?"
Daisy lowered her voice to a whisper that even the cat couldn't hear.
"Wouldn't those who have studied advanced magic extend their lives?"
Dennis answered.
"No, you are too naive. You can extend your life by a few decades to a hundred years at most. However, our Ice and Snow Queen is already far beyond this age. I heard that she used some terrible spells to transform herself into a
A bloodthirsty monster..."
"A bloodthirsty monster?"
"Yes, I heard that the Snow Queen needs fresh blood to survive..."
"You mean she is..."
Dennis was about to say it when he was interrupted by Daisy. She winked and indicated that it was okay to know some things in your heart and not to say it or show anything. There are countless pairs of eyes staring at the Magic Academy every day.
They. On the surface, they are the elites of this kingdom, enviable witches. However, the slightly older apprentices all know that they are just prisoners of the queen, and this gorgeous palace is their prison...
