Chapter 90: Solace
In the cold room in the early morning, Dennis's face was like frost, too many things had happened in the past six months, too many changes. Threats and betrayals were like a merciless sharp knife that stabbed her in the heart, cold as death.
Faint sunlight poured in through the window, staining the floor white. The door was pushed open, and Boris arrived as expected. He didn't come on his own initiative, but Dennis asked him to come. Yes, she misses him and can't stand it...... Even at this critical juncture, she still couldn't let him go.
The queen, who has always been cold and proud, also has times of vulnerability, and only in front of Boris can she let go of her proud face and give herself a true appearance.
But Boris did not know that he, as before, kept his distance from the queen calmly.
"You still won't accept me, will you?"
The queen's cold words echoed in the room, but Boris could vaguely sense the weariness in the queen's words compared to the strength of the past.
"You are the queen...... I'm ......."
Boris replied respectfully and politely.
"Samil knows about us. ”
Before Boris could finish speaking, Dennis interrupted his hypocritical politeness.
A simple sentence turned Boris's heart upside down. There is no doubt that he, like Dennis, attaches great importance to this relationship, not only because it is his own sincerity, but also because it is a secret that cannot be known to outsiders. Yes, like Dennis, Boris values the family's reputation. He couldn't bring shame on his family, let alone let his father fall into public criticism for it, and he couldn't let himself be the laughing stock of Mrs. Keighrie.
In fact, they are one type of people...... Yes, passion comes from the same kind attracting, but it is also a merciless blade that stabs each other.
Boris frowned, he didn't know what to do. In the past, he would have done nothing and killed the only person in the know. But not now, Samil was the uncle of the tsar. You can't do it yourself, and it's too risky to ask for an assassin. Before entering, Boris had thought it was an ordinary meeting, but now, he felt endlessly tired. Yes, it was the negativity that arose from his inability to resolve these incidents, and he was really, helplessly.
"But don't worry, he won't poke this thing out for a while. ”
Dennis said sadly.
Boris's expression eased slightly, but he was keenly aware that the other party could not be so kind. Although Boris was not familiar with Samir, from what he knew on a daily basis, he knew from others that this person was by no means a good-hearted person. He has mastered this great secret, but he does not say it, he definitely has his own intentions and purposes.
"I don't know what to do, I'm in a mess right now. ”
Dennis continued, vulnerability and helplessness twinkling in her eyes. They are like two fish struggling on the shore. Father is their strongest and strongest backing. But not this time. Dennis couldn't tell his father about it. In the same way, Boris could not tell his father Vladimir about this.
For a moment, Boris and Dennis blamed themselves equally. They all have a strict father, why are they so indulgent when it comes to their children?
Boris was silent, he didn't know what to say and what to do. Just watching Dennis's increasingly broken emotions.
"One more thing...... "Denis continued," "Villanelle is defiled, and the one who defiled her is Pavel. I don't know if she's going to get pregnant, and if she does, it's going to cause civil unrest in Kislev...... "I love Search.com
A tumultuous mind swirled in Boris's mind. He never imagined that so many things would happen in just half a month. Just looking at Dennis's helpless crying face.
He tried to comfort her, but his hand was raised in the air but stopped. Reason told him that he couldn't go on like this. Breaking the thread will only make himself and Dennis fall deeper and deeper.
"Pavel, that scumbag. He doesn't deserve it!"
Boris gritted his teeth –
"Someday, he'll pay the price, I swear ......"
"You've made an oath......"
Before Boris could finish speaking, Dennis pressed his fingertips against his lips.
It dawned on Boris that he remembered that he and his father had made an oath of allegiance to Tsar Pavel. One cannot make two contradictory vows at the same time. Otherwise, they will be punished by the gods.
For a while, they just stared at each other like that. It's like two injured and helpless kittens, snuggling up to each other and licking each other's wounds.
......
Kislev School of Magic. The sun shone warmly on the playground, and the dome of the Magic Tower reflected a beautiful blue light. In the past ten years, the whole of Kislev has changed dramatically, but the Academy of Magic and the Bandagar Palace have still stood. In the dark, it seems to symbolize that the foundations of this kingdom still exist.
With brisk steps, Rhodes walked into the halls of the Academy of Magic. After returning from the Empire, he did not stop at Erengrad for long, but headed south to the city of Kislev.
He hadn't seen him in months, and Rhodes wanted to surprise his wife and daughter. So he didn't reveal the news of his southward journey. Just carry a few knights with them.
The witch apprentices of the Academy of Magic did not know the identity of this strange visitor, but it must have been easy to find out from the respectful attitude of the instructors towards him.
In the hall, there is an abundance of magical energy. In order to make it easier for the witches to use the Frost spells, Dean Caroline excavated the Frost Pillar buried deep in the ground and placed it in the center of the hall. A biting cold enveloped the hall, and only the most gifted witches had the opportunity to come in and practice.
Look at the female tutor with a slender figure and a gorgeous blue cloak among the witches. Rhodes knew that it must be his long-lost wife. The familiar figure hasn't changed at all. Magic can slow down aging, Rhodes didn't believe in it before, but now, he has seen it with his own eyes.
He walked lightly, and the witch next to him tried to alert the headmaster, but was stopped by Rhodes in a whisper. He was going to surprise Caroline.
Not far away, Caroline, the director of the Kislev School of Magic, was carefully explaining the frost spell to the other witch mentors, not noticing the movement from behind.
Finally, at a close enough distance, she found out. He turned around sharply and saw the familiar man appear in front of him.
"Rhodes...... You...... Why are you here?"
A look of disbelief and surprise came out of Caroline's eyes, but there weren't many surprises. Just surprised...... Even the look of surprise calmed down after a moment. Caroline's gaze was as calm as water......
