At this time, in the northern kingdom of Norsland, a wisp of snowflakes drifted through the sky. It's going to snow so soon, and it's only September, and it's already snowing.

Looking out the window at the snowflakes that were gradually falling, Gravel remembered Dalena, far to the south. It's been a long time.

I remember the first time I saw Dalina, when she was tied up in the tavern, but Gravel arrived in time to save her. After the escape together, Dai Lina did not enjoy a few days of good life with Gravel, wandered around, and sacrificed herself to save Gravel.

Becoming the Empress of the Empire, Theodon the Great was burned alive on the night of his sixtieth birthday summer celebration by the sudden black dragon Ildelai.

Later, Delena became the widow of the Emperor again, and with her and Theodon's child, Keith, alone in the Imperial City.

In fact, Delena and Theodon also have a child, their first child, and this child is a girl. The empire claimed that the child died young, but in fact she did not die, and now the Kingdom of Norsland is alive and well.

The girl's name is Isabella, and Emperor Theorton also knows through the intelligence network that this first child of him and Delena is not his, but the child of Baron Sedak and Delena in the former Northern Sea Fort. The child was banished by the emperor to the north at birth, held in secret and declared dead to the public.

Theodon did not kill the child secretly, but sent someone to take care of it, and taught the girl that it was already very kind, but he also deprived the girl of her freedom, but how many people are truly free, and it is already good to be able to live like this.

Until, when the Black Dragons attacked Kelandil, the North followed under the leadership of Gravel and began the War of Independence. Later, Gravell's subordinate, Holfwood, found Princess Isabella in a place called Bauhinia Manor in Giant Bear Town, which is part of Golgaron, the current royal city of Northland.

They took Isabella back to the royal city of Golgaron and brought her to meet Gravel.

Not to mention, Isabella, who is almost an adult, really looks not much worse than Dalena, and is as beautiful as her mother. It's just that due to Isabella's background and her current background, Grawell can only stay by her side as an adopted daughter.

Seeing Isabella growing day by day, Gravel can always think of Delena at that time. Every time I think of this time, Gravel will also have deep self-blame and guilt in his heart. Even though Isabella is the son of that bastard of Sedak, she is also the flesh and blood of Delena, the child is innocent, and Gravel takes care of the child like his own father. The love for her mother and the indebtedness to her want to make up for this touching child.

Sometimes it is even impossible to tell whether Gravell loves the child or just because he loves her mother, and whether that love is really just pure fatherly love

"Father, what are you looking at here? Like a lovely cat, Isabella came to Gravel lightly, trying to frighten his majestic father

Isabella, who is dressed in a white dress, looks very cute, lively and smart, and there is only innocent beauty on her face.

Gravel, who was deep in thought, was really a little shocked by the sudden remark, but the city government for many years made him immediately show calm. When he saw the girl in front of him who was as beautiful as Dalena, even more beautiful than her mother, and dressed in a dress, he walked into his heart like this.

"You naughty man, why are you coming to me again? Grawell said with a smile, his expression at the moment could really be called a kind father

"Father, the swordsman you found me a few days ago was defeated by me, and it seems that his skills are no more than that. Isabella glared at Gravel with her large, watery eyes

Gravel was also troubled by this girl, she did not like embroidery, reading and dressing up like other noble ladies, but she was quite interested in weapons, military combat skills, etc.

It can really be said that I don't like heavy makeup and love arms.

Although there was no way to take this daughter, Gravel still doted on this daughter very much, and he found Isabella a lot of teachers, sword masters, and those officers and generals to tutor her.

No, the new master of swordsmanship was defeated by Isabella's men in less than two days. If you want to talk about Isabella's fighting level, Gravel really admires it from the bottom of his heart. Whether it's speed, strength, agility, or reflexes, Gravell really feels what it means to be fearful.

Originally, at first, Gravel thought that Isabella was just a whim, but when he seriously communicated with this underage girl. In fact, he also had to admire Isabella, whether it was in terms of governing the country or military views, Isabella was not inferior to the ministers, generals and lords around Gravel.

Even in some respects, Isabella's unique insights are far more brilliant than those of the kingdom's important ministers. After all, these important ministers of the kingdom are vested interests, and in many ways they only start from the perspective of their own interests, so it is inevitable that they will be a little short-sighted. Isabella is different, but she can start from the interests of the kingdom, has higher goals and ideas, and has a strong sense of the big picture and strategic vision.

So, what is the problem, Gravel wants to communicate with Isabella from the heart, even though she is only an underage girl, and other aristocratic girls are still playing with rag dolls every day at this age.

In addition to her love of martial arts, Isabella also likes to read, so Gravel also ordered people to collect a large number of books everywhere and built the Norsland Kingdom Library for Isabella to use.

Sometimes, Gravel often sighed to himself, if only Isabella were his own flesh and blood. But no matter what, Isabella is Da Lena's child and his adopted daughter, and now few people in the kingdom know Isabella's true identity, and Gravel treats Isabella as her own daughter and takes care of and teaches.

And now everyone in the kingdom knows that Isabella is the adopted daughter of Gravel, the official legal princess of the Kingdom of Norsland.

Fate is really an interesting thing, and no one knows where the river of fate will flow in the next second and where it will turn.

All living beings are just the most insignificant speck of dust in the big game of fate.

What fate awaits our great King of Norsland and Isabella
