The night is as cold as water.

Dennis stands alone in front of the window and stares at the dark city, where there is a constant stream of people every day and a different story happening every day. However, no one cares what will happen inside that tall, dark tower...... What kind of story will it be.

Dennis sat in front of the windowsill, her fingertips flashing a faint ice hockey ball, her feelings, her past, her experience, just like this crystal ice hockey ball, crystal clear, but there was no temperature at all.

It is said that when ice magic is practiced to the highest level, it will freeze people's emotions. Dennis doesn't know if that's why he's the way he is. Or is it something else...... Pavel...... It can be said that she is the only opposite sex she can contact in the entire magic academy. He's not very good, but it's not too bad, at least, in this cold palace, he's the only one who is good to himself. However, there was still something missing, and it was what Dennis himself couldn't tell, like water that was about to freeze, but it was still a little bit closer, unable to freeze.

Just when she was thinking a little, there was movement on the skylight again. Dennis was just about to defend himself with magic, but Pavel was the prince with an ice slag in front of him.

"Oh my God, Your Highness the Prince, why are you here?"

Dennis exclaimed. Pavel raised his index finger and made a shushing gesture. In this way, Dennis quieted down. Her ice arrow almost missed.

"My mother won't let me see you, but...... But ......"

"But what?"

Dennis's blue eyes looked at the infatuated prince.

"But I miss you...... I miss you......"

Pavel called gently.

For a moment, a smile swept across Dennis's lips, and although Pavel was not her love, he was the only one in the cold palace who gave her warmth. A little bit of care is more than anything else.

Seeing that Dennis did not show disgust, the prince was about to make his next move, but was stopped by Dennis.

She took a small step back and put her finger on the prince's chest, a shallow smile brushing the corners of her mouth. Pavel immediately knew what was going on. It was he who was so excited that he forgot who they were......

"That's good. ”

Pavel looked at the girl in front of him stupidly.

"What's so good?"

Dennis asked.

"It's nice to see you're okay. I thought my mother would ......"

Pavel stopped talking.

"What will happen?"

Dennis asked reluctantly.

"Forget it, nothing. Pavel said, squeezing out a smile, "Anyway, you're fine." I'm going to try to convince her from my mother's side that she shouldn't put you under house arrest. Your father's business has nothing to do with you in the first place. ”

When Pavel finished speaking, he looked up again to find that Dennis was still staring at him with her beautiful eyes, and she didn't speak, just stared like that. Pavel was a little confused for a moment. Small composition

"Well, how can you say that it has nothing to do with it. My birth meant that everything Rhodes did had to do with me, and neither of us had the right to choose our own birth, did we?"

Dennis sighed. A maturity beyond her age was evident in her sighs, in her contemplations. It's just that Pavel listened, she liked Dennis, and because of her maturity. Unlike ordinary little girls, who are either naïve, numb, or willful. Dennis's gentleness, obedience, and a touch of innocence make the middle-aged prince want to stop.

Of course, there is also a kind of affection called love house and black. Sometimes the prince couldn't tell which one he belonged to.

"You're right. Many people envy me, I am Prince Kislev, with a noble title, those noble girls, they are eager to marry me, but I know that they are not sincere, and some of them are also coerced by their parents to come to know me and contact me. And the ministers, I can't tell which of their words is true and which are lies. All the people around me are weaving lies, my mother suppresses me, not letting me do this, do that, when I succeed, all the credit will be ruthlessly taken away, Pavel will never really do anything worthy of praise. ”

The prince sighed.

"But Prince Pavel has a good heart, and you are not for nothing. ”

Dennis whispered.

Pavel reached out and gently stroked Dennis's long hair.

"Trust me, I'll find a way to set you free, you, no, it's us, we should live a normal life. Pavel paused for a moment, "I'll convince my mother, trust me." ”

"Your Mother ......"

Impressed by the prince's sincerity, Dennis was about to tell him about the conversation she had overheard in the basement of the Academy of Magic, that his mother was actually a vampire...... But when the words came to his lips, he swallowed them back. It's not that he doesn't believe that Pavel won't protect her, but he is worried that the prince will be impulsive and leak his mouth, and when the time comes, no one will know what the Ice Queen will do. In that way, it would be in vain to disguise yourself and hide it for so long.

"What happened to my mother?"

Pavel asked with a frown.

"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."

Dennis smiled.

......

Erengrad.

The end of summer in Errengrad was sad, there was no sunshine, no ripe fruit and no wheat fields, only oppression and hunger. Admiral Disma was captured, and Erengrad's navy was almost completely annihilated, but this still did not stop the defending generals from stubbornly defending the city.

As time passed, the city's food stock dwindled day by day, and at first the people were given food according to the amount, but later, there was no food distribution at all, which was only enough to ensure the rations of the soldiers defending the city, as well as the officials and generals, and even some nobles could not get enough food rations. Gold can't buy food, it's equal to scrap iron.

Outside the city, the first trucks of additional rations have arrived.

"The tunnels have been dug and we will leave tonight, Fran, although we have not seen much and have not had much contact, but I believe in you, and I believe that you can complete this task. Put the weapons in the hands of those who want to resist, and at the same time, tell them that food is waiting for them outside the city. ”

In the evening, in the northern camp, Rhodes had a final conversation with Fran about the liberation of Erengrad. In fact, the siege was an ordeal for both sides, the people in the city were unable to get food and struggled in despair, while the army outside the city, because of the long siege of the city, also required a lot of financial and material resources, at least food had to be transported from the rear. This kind of consumption is about the same as burning money. Every day the legion stays here, it consumes a staggering amount of military spending. Therefore, Rhodes is also in a hurry.

And Errengrad, as the largest city in the north of Kislev, must be taken. Only by taking Erengrad can the forces of the Northern Alliance truly compete with the South.

"Don't worry, King of the North, Lord of Rhodes, I've done this kind of thing a lot before, and this kind of scene is still stable. ”

Fran grinned. His deep eyes shone with confidence, as well as the sophistication and composure that had been precipitated over the years.
