Chapter VII Idney 3

After a long wait, Edney finally discovers that stealing the key to free the prisoner while the guards are lax is a stupid plan. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe Men in Black have a very different style from the guards in Winterhaven, where the guards guarding the prisoners work in groups of three, mixing together the keys to all the cells and randomly assigning them to each person, and the keys are immediately stuffed into the inner layer of the straitjacket. During the two Changing of the Guard that Edney undergoes, the two groups of guards handed over form a tight circle and redistribute the keys within the circle. The strict style completely killed Edney's chance to steal the key, and caused her to waste the whole night in vain.

As dawn came, a bewildered Idney made her way to the harbor and sat on the dock where she had been frequented when she was six or seven years old. At that time, the pirates of the tundra had not yet risen, and his brother was still alive, and his father had just taken over the title of Lord of Winterhaven from his grandfather, and he had not yet mastered the art of power, and he would occasionally take his brother and sister to the port to sketch, and over time it became a paradise for three children. Whenever his father was busy with his official duties, Darien took his two younger sisters to the harbor, and they spent two years together watching the sailboats set sail or return to port, laughing and chasing together among the scaffolding and debris.

Idney had naively thought that the good life would last forever, thinking that one day her brother would marry a beautiful and virtuous wife, that she would be able to pull her sister's dress and give her to a handsome gentleman, that her father was getting old, and that the three of them would kneel beside his coffin and weep bitterly, and that the next lord of Winterhaven would take him to the harbor with his brother on his back to sketch...... Until the Tundra Pirates viciously cut off Tharion's head, all of Edney's dreams were ruthlessly torn apart, like a flock of vultures tearing apart the carcass of a hare.

After the first attack on Winterhaven, my father begged the fleet commander of Lion's Harbor to come and fight the Tundra Pirates, and then one rainy afternoon, he crumpled up a brief reply and locked himself in his room for two months. When he came to the restaurant again, he had become a greedy demon.

"Frey. Edney sighed. She and Frey met in late last fall, the day after the Harvest Festival celebrations, and she followed her father to Ice's Castle to discuss a marriage she didn't like. In fact, her father grew tired of the marriage, and Edney had been promised to the second son of the Escud family, but he repented of his shameless marriage for the sake of the groom's daughter, and was punished for breaking his oath - he drank too much wine at the harvest festival, accidentally lit the curtains, and burned the damned groom's house to the ground, leaving no bones behind. Marquis Grimnas, who had just experienced the loss of his son, thought of apologizing to Idney's father with a smile on his face, and spent his days in a trance, not knowing whether intentionally or unintentionally, he fell off the steep cliff in front of the gate of Ice's Breath and fell to pieces. The succession of bad omen forced Idney's father to reconsider his marriage to the Escud family, and he contemplated distancing himself from the Escud family unless Grimnath's eldest son was willing to take Niedni as a concubine and recognized their children as the rightful heirs of Ice's End. Of course, the dowry that has already been received will not be returned.

It was the first time Idni arrived at Ice's End, and accidentally blocked Frey Escud's path on the city's avenue, nearly dying in the high front hooves of the white steed he was riding. Frightened, Edney fell to the ground, and Frey jumped off her horse to help her. He was dressed in leather armor sewn from white bear skin, and a cloak of ice wolfskin as white as snow, with a huge wolf head on his shoulders. He had short black hair and deep eyes. He gently pulled Idney up, bowed politely and apologized, and turned on his horse in a dashing manner. Everything about him is deeply seared on Edney's heart, and she knows what it is like to fall in love. At the dinner that day, Edney learns the name of her sweetheart and strives for the best possible outcome of the marriage, in which Frey will marry Edney, but the Escud family must pay an additional 800,000 Pas as compensation for the repentance. The wedding was scheduled to take place after Frey returned to the East Island to complete his experience.

"I'll pick you up in Winterhaven with more gifts than you can imagine. Frey promised Edney in his arms when the first rays of the morning sun shone through the window, and they spent crazy nights together, but Edney wrapped her arms around his neck and said, "All I want is you." ”

"All I want is you, Frey, please don't get hurt, wait for me. Idney prayed unconsciously to the gods she didn't believe in. At the same time, swift and orderly footsteps sounded in the direction of the city.

Exhausted from the night's sleep, Edney stopped casting spells and quietly retreated into a shadow that would never be discovered. She saw the black-clad men who had entered the restaurant huddle around the leader and walk to the docks, and then a small boat slowly approached from the early morning fog. The boatmen in the boats wore rudimentary metal armor, horned helmets, and rough but large axes on their backs. The leader of the men in black handed him a black cloth bag, and Ideni couldn't see what was inside, but she could guess from the smile on the boatman's lips that it might be her father's head.

The boatman blew a horn made from the bones of an unknown animal, and the sound drifted to the distant sea. For a long time, several huge warships dispersed the sea fog and docked offshore, and the dense number of small boats carrying an astonishing number of frozen pirates landed on the docks.

"Arrange room and board, and we'll leave at midnight. The leader of the men in black commanded.
