"Pavel had no idea what the real life of the people was like! He was born in the Imperial Palace, lived in the Imperial Palace, and spent thirty years in this most splendid palace in the city, and the life of a commoner was something he had never experienced before, and he did not understand the common people at all!"

Tsar Pavel led his troops to burn down the lair of the Llavansh, causing panic among the people, and Queen Dennis could not help but be angry at her husband's impulsive behavior. Pavel is kind-hearted and eager to make a difference, which Dennis admires, but it is not enough to be kind and have a sense of justice to get things done. It must be considered in the context of the actual situation.

When Dennis was a child, he lived in the remote Black Hammer Fort in the north, and he saw the hardships of the small northern town and the poverty of the people, and was later taken to live in Kislev as a witch apprentice. Much is known about the real situation in this kingdom than Pavel.

Dennis knew why the civilians believed in the Chaos Gods. Because they have lost hope in orderly life, and when you cannot guarantee even the minimum of food and warmth, you cannot see the so-called hope at all, and those hopes, the confidences, belong to the nobles and wealthy knights. For some desperate civilians, it is not as pleasant to live as a day than to believe in the evil gods of chaos, at least, they can give their bodies endless satisfaction......

"Indeed...... The king is still too ......."

Virgil stood there, speechless and speechless.

"Say whatever you want, you are my father's most trusted assistant, and your loyalty to him is known to all. I believe you. So you don't have to worry because I've never seen you as an outsider. ”

Dennis turned his head and stared at Virgil.

Only, Virgil smiled and didn't say anything.

"I know what you're trying to say, you want to say that our Tsar is still too naïve, right?"

Dennis said what Virgil did not dare to say and did not want to say.

Virgil could only smile and not speak, which was considered a tacit acquiescence.

"He's a little naïve......"

Dennis sighed. A person's maturity has nothing to do with age, and a goshawk that has been hunting alone outside since childhood is not the same as an eagle in a cage. The cage made of gold wire is clothed and fed, however, without experiencing wind and frost, the goshawk cannot grow. The world inside the cage is so simple, but the world outside the cage is full of dangers. Dennis knew that Pavel was not bad-hearted, but he was still a little tender......

"What now? The forced demolition, combined with the burning of the king's house, has made the people doubt the king's power. ”

Virgil asked, and it could be seen that the knight was not very satisfied with the new king, but more uneasy.

"There has to be a shift in the attention of the population, a shift of attention. ”

Dennis replied pensively.

"What do you take?"

Virgil asked.

"Entertainment. Dennis continued, "Entertainment can eliminate people's fatigue and, more importantly, divert people's attention, and all kinds of entertainment have the same similar effect." ”

"Or a large military parade can also temporarily divert people's attention. ”

Dennis added.

"But the war is over, and it doesn't seem reasonable to hold a big parade at this time. ”

Virgil said.

"It's true, so what we need is big entertainment. ”

Dennis said, a plan already in his head.

"The sports competition, initiated by the king, is a competitive sports competition for all in Kislev, with a huge prize money, and anyone from the knight level can participate in it. In this way, it can cause a sensation in a short time. Thus diverting the attention of the public. ”

Dennis said thoughtfully, her gaze flickering, clear and quiet.

"Sounds pretty good, I want to participate. ”

Virgil never spared his praise, but of course, it was not a slap in the face, as Dennis himself said that she had never treated him as an outsider, so Virgil did not have to flatter the queen. For Virgil, Dennis was only the daughter of the lord, and he served her and protected her because she was Rhodes's daughter. And not because she is a queen...... Let's have a book

"However, with all due respect, although such competitions can divert the attention of the people for a short time, if corruption is not eradicated, one day, similar things will happen that oppress civilians and cause public resentment. ”

Virgil said bluntly.

"Of course. Dennis's face turned serious. "I will do my best to find a solution and persuade Pavel to follow our way. ”

After saying that, Dennis sighed deeply. Virgil had never seen her sigh like this, and exhaustion crept up on the queen's youthful face like a shadow.

......

North of Kislev, at the foot of the Great Wall –

Rhodes put his hand on the cold stone, feeling the temperature, and for more than a week, the earth still hadn't recovered from the trauma of the cold snap.

"This is no ordinary cold snap, I've dueled the most powerful Frost Witch in Kislev, and now, all I feel is the biting cold. ”

In the snowstorm, Rhodes got up and said to the people around him. Everyone listened attentively to their lord's speech.

"But Caterina is dead, and there can't be a more powerful Frost Witch here. ”

Norsca Guard captain Celta answered.

"It's impossible to have a second Caterina ......"

Rod frowned.

"Wait, I seem to have seen a similar description in an old book. ”

While everyone was pondering, investigator Vasilyev suddenly shouted.

"Speak quickly!"

An impatient Celta urged.

"It was recorded in "Chaos Era" that a similar scene appeared during the chaos invasion a hundred years ago, the tide of ice, not an ordinary tide of ice, it was the breath of a dragon. ”

Vasilyev said in a trembling voice -

"Terrible shadows soared through the air, and roars like thunder resounded through the sky. The breath obscured the sky and drowned half of the legions......"

"Simply the Frost Dragon?"

Celta impatiently interrupted the investigator.

Vasilyev nodded.

"You've seen it?"

Rod turned to his lieutenant and asked about him.

"No, I haven't. "But I've heard of such monsters inhabiting the highest mountains in Nosca. ”

"Only a handful of tribes have the ability to tame the Frost Dragon, but that was a hundred years ago. ”

Celta added. As a tribe that lives along the coastline, it's normal that Celta hasn't seen dragons. After all, all powerful creatures are scarce, they are at the top of the food chain, and it is usually the dragon that is elusive. However, it is precisely because of this that Rhodes's inner worries are exacerbated.

"If it's really the Frost Dragons, what have they come all the way to do here?

Rod frowned and said solemnly.
