Chapter 116: Peeping in the Dark
The throne hall of Bandagar Palace was filled with bejewels, and the nobles wore fur garments and bright brocade cloaks, and their strange and exaggerated costumes made them look quite happy.
Of course, these are indeed years to celebrate. The struggle between the tsar and the nobility finally ended with the victory of the alliance of nobles, and everyone's face was filled with the joy of victory.
It's just that Dennis doesn't have time to rejoice with them. Dressed in a velvet shirt, a lilac brocade robe, and a queen's crown, she passed through a large group of knights, nobles, and celebrities and wealthy merchants, and came to the queen's throne, sat down calmly and elegantly, and listened to the work reports of the various noble officialsβ
The mercenaries gathered all over the south have basically been dismissed, the large iron mines at the foot of the Black Iron Mountain have begun to take shape, a Beastman army raided the convoy of the frontier fort a week ago, the local lords have sent patrols to hunt them down, blah, blah......
Dennis listened to their report with a smile on his face, but he didn't have time to write it down or think about it. She had been in a trance since Boris left, and she fought through the upsurge of emotions and attended the hearings until the evening.
......
Immediately after the meeting, Dennis left the venue, and in the deepest part of the Merlin Tower of the Bandargar Palace, the queen closed the door and threw herself into complete darkness.
She closed the curtains, tears of grief pouring out of her eyes. Boris...... My lovers...... My lover...... Where are you? She called out in her heart, and even began to regret what she had done in the past two years, if she had been more careful at the beginning, maybe nothing would have happened? Or, if she didn't marry Pavel, she could be with the man she loved. Or, don't run into him at all, and you won't make yourself so uncomfortable.
However, everything still happened irreversibly. In the depths of the palace, he was tormented by longing. Even her father didn't come to comfort her...... Why? Could it be that the world had abandoned her? Dennis thought bitterly, thinking about it, and tears couldn't help but surge even more. Why do human beings have such complex emotions? They want to get what they don't get, they are not satisfied with what they get, they don't cherish what they get, and they regret it when they lose it. Is this the nature of human beings?
Dennis pondered and asked, but no one answered her. The dark and dark environment of the Merlin Building blends her small figure into it. It's as if she's a member of the darkness.
Knock Knock...... Knock Knock......
Suddenly, there was a slight sound of footsteps in the darkness.
"Who? Who's there?"
Dennis forced himself to break free from his grief. Her black eyes were fixed on the dark hallway. The voice grew closer, and at the same time, Dennis smelled a breath of death. A moment later, at the end of the hallway, a slender figure appeared.
"Is that you?"
There was a hint of surprise in Dennis' eyes.
"Why? I didn't expect it? It's been a long time, Queen Dennis. β
Roy walked lightly and stopped in front of Dennis. Staring at the frost beauty in front of her with a pair of beautiful eyes.
"It's been a long time...... I didn't expect you to be still in Kislev. β
Dennis whispered back, with a hint of disdain in his words. She knew Roy's identity, and knew that she was actually a vampire under her beautiful skin.
The reason why he didn't call the guards and didn't do anything was just because Roy had teamed up with himself in order to bring down the Ice Queen Katarina. But Katerina is dead, and as agreed, as a vampire, she should no longer appear in Kislev. It shouldn't have been in the depths of the palace. The fact that she was able to be here, and avoid all the guards, was a testament to her familiarity with everything here. This is not a good sign.
"I've always been ...... Sorry didn't tell you. β
Roy said, smiling sweetly. She is indeed very beautiful, her every move reveals an aristocratic temperament, and even her smile never shows only six white teeth. But Dennis knows that under this elegant temperament, there is a bloody heart.
"So, what are you doing here? Just to see me, or are you here to say hello?"
Dennis asked, staring at her.
"Yes, you're right, half. I'm here to see you, and to help you. We've always been good friends, allies, haven't we?"
Roy's face was still with an ambiguous smile. It's just that the smile made Dennis feel very uncomfortable, she was not so familiar with the vampire in front of her. At best, it was a temporary alliance for the sake of profit.
"If it's just to see me, then I thank you for your concern. After reading it, you should also leave here as agreed. β
Dennis said calmly. There was a hint of coldness in his words.
"I'm not saying it, not just to see you, but to help you. β
But Roy still didn't leave, she stared at Dennis with those bewitching eyes, as if they could penetrate her heart.
Dennis was uncomfortable with her.
"Help me, help me, help me, I'm the queen now, what can you help?"
Dennis asked coldly.
"Boris Boca, you're still thinking about that man, aren't you?"
Roy walked up to Dennis and made a look of concern.
Dennis was a little surprised, but there was no half of it on his expression, and the only ones who could let go of his disguise and release his true temperament were his father and Boris. And this vampire in front of him is nothing. At best, their relationship is better than that of strangers.
"Hehe, it looks like you know quite a bit. Dennis sneered, "Indeed, I still love him." It's my own business, thank you for your concern. β
"Your own business, not necessarily, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"For ordinary people, love is indeed their own business, but for you, it is not. You're a queen, and you can't be so decadent all the time. β
"It's none of your business. β
Dennis returns.
"As I said, I'm here to help you. And, it's just me, there is a way to help you. β
A sly but friendly smile appeared on Roy's face.
"No one can help me, not even the gods. β
Dennis refused.
"I can. β
Roy is still confident.
"Hehe, then tell me, how are you going to help me?"
Dennis sneered.
"There's no need to go around in circles between you and me, you know who I am, I know your secrets. You love that man so much that you can't forget it, and you're likely to spend it in painful emotions for the rest of your life. And the only way to make mortals forget the emotions of the world is to stop being a mortal, but to become, like me, a vampire. β
"Bold!"
Dennis roared. A thin layer of ice was already in his hand.
"Good sister, listen to me, become one of us, and you will no longer be bound by all worldly emotions. At the same time, you can keep your sanity and stay young forever, and no one can see the difference, only we know. At the same time, you can also gain endless power and easily rule your kingdom. β
"Shut up!"
"Guards!"
Dennis shouted, his voice echoing through the pitch-black tower.
"Well, you've missed that only opportunity. β
Roy sneered as the voice fell, and then quickly retreated, quickly retreating into the darkness, so fast that even Dennis couldn't react. As if it was just an illusion.
Downstairs, the hurried footsteps of the Royal Forbidden Army could be heard......
