"I'm not going to eat this damn thing!" Catherine said, not looking at the fruit in the Dryad Queen's hand, as she gritted her teeth and stared into her dark green eyes.

"What a stupid choice!" Anna, the queen of the dryads, shook her head with a sneer, withdrew her hand holding the fruit, and said contemptuously, "It's stupid to sacrifice your beautiful life for the sake of those filthy and shameless men!"

"A monster like you will never understand what true love is!" said Catherine, glaring at the queen, spitting in her face.

"Monster, you call me a monster...... The queen's face was suddenly gloomy like a thunderstorm covering the earth, she wiped the spit from her face, and pressed her face to the hole in the tree with hatred to look at Catherine, and shouted angrily: "Yes, I am indeed a monster now, and this is due to the so-called true love in your mouth!"

She suddenly stretched out a hand to grab Catherine's neck and pulled her face towards herself, and the girl struggled in pain, hearing her gritted teeth and say, "Many years ago, I was like you, thinking that true love can last forever, that the man I love can give me the favor of a lifetime!"

"But, at last, he abandoned me, in order to marry an Countess and gain the glory of her family!" said Anna, gazing at Catherine, whose face was flushed with breathlessness, with hatred.

"He hired two mercenaries and kidnapped me into a swamp and left me here, the land under your feet, when there was nothing here, and they tied me to a tree and left me to fend for myself here, just to prevent the Count's family from knowing that he was engaged!"

At this point, Anna's voice suddenly deepened, her arm loosened weakly, she took a step back, held on to the trunk of the tree in pain, and muttered to herself: "I am so alone, enduring the bite of wild beasts and poisonous insects, dying of hunger and cold, like a weed, no one knows." ”

"No, the plants know how to love more than men," she said, looking up at the towering trees in front of her, "they gave me life, my dead body merged into the trees, I was reborn from the bosom of the tree spirits, and I created this garden to feed the animals and flowers here!"

"This is what you call true love," said Anna to Catherine with a mocking smile, "all vows are not worth mentioning, all soft words are a disguise of deception, girl blinded by lies, do you still believe that your cold-hearted sweetheart will love you for the rest of your life?"

"Of course, I believe him!" To Anna's surprise, Catherine replied in a resolute tone: "You may have met a despicable man, but you can't look at the whole world in this way, I believe that he is by no means such a scumbag, because I have experienced life and death with him, he is a hero!"

"Hero?" Queen Anna shook her head contemptuously and sneered: "Well, let's see what your hero will think of you in his heart, wait for me here, I will bring his thoughts back to you, let you see what kind of man your dream hero is!"

She walked towards Rogge without looking back, ignoring Catherine, who was shouting loudly behind her, and came to Rogge proudly, and found that Rogge's eyes were closed and his head was tilted to the side, she knocked on the trunk with her hand, frowned, and said: "Wake up, you are so interested, and you still have the heart to sleep!"

"Oh, Your Majesty!" Rogge, who woke up, looked at her sleepily and shrugged his shoulders and explained, "Don't blame me, I haven't slept for several nights, and there have been too many damn troubles lately!"

He froze, looked at Queen Anna with curiosity, and asked, "Well, my dear majesty, what do you have to do?"

"I'm here to ask you, do you know what she wants?" asked Anna, smiling meaningfully.

"She?" Rogge asked with a blank look at the smile on her face with a slanted eyebrow, "Who?"

"That's the girl you're looking for. Anna replied without hesitation with a "don't play stupid with me" expression.

"Oh, did you say Catherine?" Rogge probed his gaze around her face, glanced in Catherine's direction, and asked cautiously, "You just asked me what she wanted? How can I know that? I don't know how to read minds!"

"Hmph, you really don't understand her feelings for you at all?" Anna asked, leaning her face close to Rogge and sneering.

Rogge shook his head with great certainty, and Anna raised her hand to grow a small green flower in her palm, and threw it on Rog's shoulder, as on Catherine, and the little flower stretched out vines to wrap around Rog's neck, and at the same time reached into his neckline.

"Hey, what are you doing here, Your Majesty, forgive me, it's so itchy!" said Rogge, frowning at Queen Anna.

The queen stared at him coldly, did not respond to his reaction, stared at the small green flower on his shoulder, waiting for its reaction, if it turned red, it meant that the person was in love, if it turned yellow, it meant that the person was in a state of crush, if it was green, it meant that the person had no sweetheart.

Suddenly, the surface of the little green flower was covered with a layer of white, and the queen's pupils dilated with surprise, and she saw that the petals and stems and leaves of the little flower were covered with a layer of hoarfrost, and it became thicker and thicker, and finally it condensed into a layer of hard ice, turning the whole flower into an ice sculpture.

"This ...... How is this possible?" the queen stared in amazement at the frozen flower, which was completely frozen, and the green on the petals remained unchanged, when suddenly, the ice flower shattered, and the flower shattered in the burst of ice.

"Who the hell are you? are you a magician?" Queen Anna looked at Rogge in disbelief, Rogge shrugged his shoulders and shook his head, "I wish I could, then I don't have to stay in this tree hole now, to be honest, it's too crowded here!"

"Then how did you freeze my flowers? I've never seen anyone do that, is your heart made of ice?" Queen Anna's eyes fell in the direction of Rog's heart, her gaze was like two sharp daggers, and she wanted to dig out his heart at once.

"I don't know, after all, I haven't seen my own heart with my own eyes," Rogge smiled unhurriedly, "But many people I know say that I'm a cold-blooded guy, maybe that's why your flowers are cold into ice cubes." ”

Queen Anna looked at his cynical smile, full of surprise and couldn't come up with an answer, she pondered for a moment, nodded slowly: "Okay, I understand, it seems that the girl is right, you are really different, I will keep you to study slowly, including the girl who is obsessed with you!"

"Can I see this as a pardon?" Rogge smiled and nodded to the Queen, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

At this moment, a yellow warbler fell from the sky, landed on the queen's shoulder, chirped into her ear a few times, the queen listened intently for a moment, turned back to Rogge and smiled: "Hmph, I'll tell you when I come back, now I'm going to catch the two men who escaped, I want to see if they are also cold-blooded heroes like you!"

Seeing the queen's figure disappear into the tree hole, Rog looked out of the tree hole and vaguely saw her leaving from a nearby forest path, he glanced in Catherine's direction, and saw that she was looking this way, Rog hurriedly shook his head and motioned for her not to move.

"Alright, little darlings, it's time to do it, we don't have a better chance now!" Rog retracted his head, and looked up at the hollow tree hole above, and saw a black bird and a little girl with a big palm sitting on a vine above him.

"Your acting skills are so bad, you're so weak compared to me!" said the little owl, jumping down from the vine and landing on Rogge's head.

"Shut up, little villain, get to work, now is not your time to brag!" Rogge said, shaking his head.

Little Flower Spirit descends from the sky and conjures some of the parasitic seeds and gives them to Lilith, and the little furball and her share of them each, then leaves a small amount of the seeds on Rog's head and asks him to scatter them around the hollow while they fly away with the seeds to rescue the others.

After the two flew away, Rogge tried to lower his head and sprinkle all the seeds above his head near the tree hole, as soon as these parasitic seeds touched the tree, they immediately burrowed into the tree body, and began to absorb the life force of the tree, the tree that was absorbed by the parasitic seeds began to wither, and the vines that sealed the tree hole quickly became yellow and fragile.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Rog slammed into the hole with all his might, his body smashed the dead vines and rushed out of the hole, he threw away the dead vines on his body, and saw Murphy, Wood, Lisa, and Catherine all break free from the hole and gather towards him.

"Hmph, I knew it wouldn't be good to be with you!" Wood said loudly to Rog before he could get closer.

"If you continue to yell like this, I think we'll do more bad things!" Rogge pointed at him as if warning, and saw Murphy striding towards Catherine, but before he could get closer, Catherine had already run up to Rogge and threw herself into his arms.

"Oh, the little heel who has fallen behind is finally home!" said Rog, holding Catherine, who was trembling all over, and stroking her head like a sister.

"I'm sorry, I'm ......," Catherine said, looking up at Lisa with her peripheral vision, and looking at Rogge timidly.

"Oh, don't do that, whatever happened is now over, the most important thing now is to get out of here and find Bach at the same time!" Rogge patted her on the back encouragingly, Catherine felt that there was not the slightest reproach in his voice, and a hanging heart could not help but relax.

She secretly looked at Lisa on the side, and found that her eyes were not hostile at all, but very soft, as if they had never had such a violent conflict, which made Catherine very puzzled, and at the same time felt more and more sorry for the fact that she had hurt Lisa.

"Come on, guys, we need to follow the queen to find Bach, Murphy, your royal highness protects the girls, and I will clear the way with Wood!" Rogge said, taking Lilith and Wood along the forest path where Queen Anna had left.

Murphy, who had been standing awkwardly watching Catherine and Rogge, just nodded silently to Catherine, signaling her to hurry up and follow Rogge, and Lisa had already taken Catherine's hand uninhibitedly and ran in the direction where Rogge and Wood left.

Murphy, who was standing in place, looked at the back of Rogge's departure, but the queen's exclamation echoed in his mind: "Who are you? Who are you?"
