Kislev, Bandagar Palace.

There was no candlelight in the cold room, and even though it was day, everything was like night. A shadow slowly moved into the room from outside the door. Quietly, like a dexterous bobcat, he crept up behind the girl.

"Your Royal Highness. ”

However, the girl spotted him effortlessly. Dennis turned his head from the darkness, his face as beautiful as ever, his eyes clear. Instantly captured Prince Kislev's heart. No matter how busy the day is, as long as you see your sweetheart, all your worries and tiredness will disappear in an instant.

"How did you find me? I don't think I'm making a sound. ”

Pavel laughed. He stared at Dennis as if he were at a treasure that Prince Kislev saw as his treasure.

"I discover yours by the taste. I'm familiar with your taste. ”

Dennis replied with a smile, the corners of her mouth raised in just the right curvature, elegant and with a bit of innocence and innocence. Of course, this is just appearances. Deep down, Dennis has matured. She has matured beyond her peers. And the sentence that discovered the prince by smell was just a perfunctory statement. For Dennis, who has superb magical abilities, Pavel's slightest footsteps can be detected by her. Even the subtle fluctuations of magical energy in the air would be sensed by him, let alone the sound made by such ordinary people. If she hadn't been shrewd, she wouldn't have been able to stay in the treacherous Academy of Magic.

When Dennis finished speaking, the prince smiled. Smug and smiled warmly. The fact that his lover was familiar with his own taste made him feel sweeter than anything else. It's just that Pavel is here today, not to talk about love, he came to Dennis to discuss important matters.

"Dennis, my love. More than 30 nobles and officials in the city of Kislev said that the manpower and work were ready. Now, at my command, the knights and armed militia of the whole city will rise up in support of me and overthrow the bloody Caterina. What I want to know is, what's going on on your side, and are the wizards at the Academy of Magic ready?"

Pavel sat down and spoke earnestly.

"They're ready. ”

Dennis simply returned. But his gaze did not make much communication with Pavel in front of him.

"That's good, I'm ready to launch a struggle for power against Caterina in two days' time. At that time, your team of witches will heed my call to join forces in the action to overthrow the depraved and corrupt Blood Queen. ”

The prince read excitedly. It was the most important moment of his life, and it was also the most exciting. For this moment, Pavel had prepared for too long and waited too long. This is not only a seizure of power, but also a proof. Prove yourself to be a capable man. A man who makes a difference. However, in front of him, it was the indifferent expression of his close lover Dennis.

"Your Royal Highness the Prince, they are ready, but I am not ready......"

Dennis lowered his head and whispered. The bleak sunlight shone down her face through the narrow window, and a kind of melancholy that could not be dissolved hung over Dennis's small and immature face.

"You ?......"

"Why?"

Pavel was a little incredulous. He had waited so long, and now, when it was almost finished, his closest and most beloved lover had retreated?

"What the hell are you thinking? Dear Dennis, my darling, this is our only chance, the Blood Queen Caterina and the Archmage Irene are both out of Kislev City. Now, this city, this palace, is in a power vacuum, and you say you're not ready for such a great opportunity? Are we going to watch this opportunity slip out of our noses?"

Pavel became emotional. Even if it is the person he loves the most, but after a long time, Pavel will have his own temper. The important thing is that this matter is extremely important in Pavel's mind, almost comparable to the importance of Dennis.

"Don't get excited, Your Highness. I wasn't prepared, because the underground of Kislev City, the Academy of Magic, and even the underground of this palace probably hide a huge power that you and I can't imagine. It's a loyal subordinate that Caterina has been carefully cultivating for more than a decade, and it's a terrifying army you can't imagine......" fate

Dennis looked at Pavel and said with a serious expression. She looked at Pavel as if she were looking at a blank piece of paper. Even though the prince was confident and ambitious, in Dennis's opinion, he did not know what a threat was and what a struggle was. For the first thirty years, he was just a dispensable existence in the eyes of others, and in the past two years, in the city of Kislev, Prince Pavel thought that he was powerful, however, Dennis knew that the prince was just a pawn of others, and many people wanted to use him for their own purposes, including their own ......

Love, perhaps, a little bit...... After all, in the entire palace, the only one who is really good to himself is Pavel. However, more often than not, Dennis clearly knows that he also wants to rely on Pavel to seek a place to live. After all, reality is always cruel.

"And the legions, impossible!" Pavel twitched with excitement, "Bloody Caterina has moved all his troops out of the city to meet the northern army, including the archery army. The armies from the south were also sent out to command Irene. Where are the other legions in Kislev, and if so, why doesn't she bring them out?"

Pavel asked loudly. Dennis made a 'shh After all, Roy's power is not rooted in all royal guards. It's just a small part. No one can guarantee that the partition wall has ears, and underground, there may be hundreds of ears listening to this room.

"Caterina won't send them out unless she has to. Because it's an army of the undead, and if you pull them out, you're telling the world that she's a vampire. She is the mastermind of everything. In this way, even the empire next door has a crusade against her. ”

Dennis said solemnly, Pavel was only shocked, and his emotions were turned upside down in just a few minutes, from the high to the low. Dennis is so smart, and it is with her company all the way that the plan will be carried out smoothly and to this day. If what Dennis says is true, then this struggle for power may be really difficult.

"Your Royal Highness, do you remember the siege of the palace of Grand Duke Cohen of Kislev seven years ago, when hundreds of knights besieged the Bandagar Palace, and the gates of the palace crumbled under the impact of battering rams. However, at the critical moment, a terrifying army of the undead appeared outside the palace and wiped out all the troops under the Grand Duke. I went through that battle, when terrifying undead creatures emerged from the beneath the Academy of Magic, nearly killing the wizarding apprentices on the first floor. ”

Dennis's expression was serious, and his tone was as calm and cold as ever.

"That's a loyal subordinate of the vampire, and perhaps right now, right at our feet, there are countless pairs of ears listening to us. There will be more of them than you can imagine. Like a crawler, it covers every inch of the floor of the dungeon. Rotting flesh smells of vomit in the basement. ”

Dennis's words made Pavel's heart cold to the extreme. If this is true, no matter how much they prepare, it will be in vain.

"So, we have no hope of winning, so what are we going to do?"

Pavel was pessimistic and disappointed, and all his enthusiasm was erased again in these few minutes.

"No, we still have hope. ”

Denniston paused, her eyes shining again.

"Hope is my father, whose army is gathering to defeat the Ice Queen's legions. Then, we have hope. Internal and external cooperation, the likelihood of success will be greatly increased. ”

After Dennis finished speaking, she saw that Pavel looked at her differently. The original unreserved trust has changed a little at the moment. The gaze was full of love, but with a hint of suspicion.

Dennis saw it, and she saw it almost immediately.

"Dennis, dear, it's not that I don't believe in your father, but ......"

"But what? Are you trying to say that the one who overthrows Caterina has to be you, not Rod?"

Dennis asked.

"That's not what I meant......"

"Don't hide it from me, I know your concerns. I want to say that my father has made it clear that he will not seize the throne. The title of King of the North was originally given to him by someone else, and you know that. So, Your Royal Highness, you don't have to worry about these things at all. You are the rightful heir to Kislev, and there is only one tsar in Kislev, and that is you. This is a fact that no one can deny. ”

Dennis's words made Pavel embarrassed. He was a little annoyed, a little embarrassed, and he didn't even know how to face the little girl in front of him.
