The spring snow was long, and Dennis stood on the balcony of the dormitory of the Academy of Magic, looking at the wind and snow. It's the turn of spring and summer, however, this year, the climate in Kislev has been exceptionally cold. Snowflakes still flutter over the city. It reminded her of the far north, of her distant homeland.

I haven't been back for five years, has I? Oh no, six years. Last winter has passed. Time is like flowing water, and you can't catch it if you want to. Father's face is now a little blurred, but his voice is still clear, and his love for himself still lingers in his heart and cannot be erased. Dennis knows that for hundreds of years, many young witches have erased the last trace of memory and concern for their relatives in such a time consumption.

However, she can't. Dennis will always remember that he is Rod Lawne's daughter, that he will always remember the North, and that he will always remember Blackhammer. The place where she grew up, how much she wanted to go home, how much she wanted to be a snow eagle, soar in the sky, and arrive home in an instant. But no. No matter how powerful her magic was, she didn't have the ability to put on her wings.

I don't know what happened to my father...... These days, there is more and more news coming from the north. Some people say that the north has been reduced to scattered sand, the watchfort is gone, and the backbone of the north is gone. The greenskins head north, causing irreversible destruction to the north. And the Ice Queen doesn't seem to show the slightest sign of sending troops to support.

Of course, there are also those who say that there is a new leader in the North, and that is Rhodes. His father has become the new leader?, Dennis cried out in his heart...... Is it good and bad? She even wondered. Because in people's mouths, his father has become the first person to fight against Greenskin. His popularity grew day by day, even surpassing that of the Ice Queen...... Dennis knows that this is not a good thing......

The incarceration of life allowed her to grow up prematurely, and after seeing the countless dark sides of the Academy of Magic, Dennis became clearly aware of what kind of Tsar he was serving. Caterina is nothing more than a vampire, and she craves power more than anything else.

If there were two armies standing in front of her at the same time, one was an orc, a greenskinned army, and the other was a mob army that had risen up, she would definitely take aim at the people's army, because only that people's army was the one that really challenged his ruling power, and the greenskinned army was only here to destroy and kill. Even if the kingdom falls, she will not bow to anyone. This is Katerina. Dennis knew that this was what Caterina was like, and he began to understand what kind of tyrant he was serving. But for now, she had no choice.

"Dennis, His Royal Highness the Prince has come to you. ”

Outside, Mentor Anne pushed the door open.

Before Anne could finish speaking, Pavel, Caterina's son, rushed to stand in front of her mentor, Anne.

Prince Kislev wears a velvet coat, an embroidered gold cloak hangs from his left shoulder through a silver ring, and his long light yellow hair naturally falls on his shoulders.

"May I come in?"

Pavel did not walk directly into the house, but asked politely at the door.

Of course, in his capacity, Dennis does not have the authority to say "no".

"Well, of course, His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

Dennis, the witch, politely returned.

Soon, the instructor walked away with a sense of humor. Dennis is now a celebrity in the Academy of Magic, not only because of her unusual talent and powerful spell powers, but also because she is the object of the Queen's son, Pavel. Yes, the discerning man sees it. Every time Pavel came to the Academy of Magic, he had various names, but everyone knew that the person he really wanted to meet was Dennis.

"I know you don't have to go to class today, so you're here. ”

Pavel closed the door and walked over to Dennis and sat down. By this time, Dennis had already walked back to the room from the balcony and sat down in a chair. Quietly looking at the personable Prince Kislev.

As a gifted witch at the Academy of Magic, Dennis has the privilege of using a dormitory alone. This also made it easier for the queen to find her to some extent. Unbeknownst to him, Pavel picked up the leak, giving the young prince a better chance to be alone with his beloved witch.

"Your Royal Highness, you are always clear about my lessons. ”

Dennis smiled. A mouthful of white teeth was slightly exposed, a few broken hairs fluttered between his forehead, and Pavel's innocent appearance made him unable to extricate himself.

"Of course, at the Academy of Magic, no one but Dennis can make me so concerned. Pavel said happily, "By the way, there is no one else here, you don't have to be so restrained, just call me Pavel." ”

"Well, Prince-Pavel. ”

"It's Pavel. ”

"Pavel ......" 120

Dennis repeated, and Pavel smiled happily. He looked at Dennis as if admiring the goddess in his heart. At only 14 years old, Dennis has now grown into a down-to-earth and innocent girl. She has an almost fairy-like slender body and a pure and lovely face. At the same time, the innocence in the character still remains. This is what keeps Pavel awake at night and unable to extricate himself. There was no shortage of women around Prince Kislev, and many princes and nobles wanted to marry their daughters to the son of the tsar, but Pavel didn't fancy any of them. Only Dennis the Frost Witch is so concerned.

Pavel stared at Dennis for a moment before he carefully pulled out a treasure from his bosom, a gift to be exact.

"For you. ”

Pavel said with a smile and handed the gift to the witch Dennis.

"What is it?"

Dennis asked curiously.

"Just open it and see. ”

Pavel was confident, as if he was looking forward to it even more than Dennis.

Stretching out his slender hand, Dennis slowly unwrapped the delicate gift box, revealing a model of a castle carved from crystal.

"Wow......"

After seeing the whole picture, Dennis couldn't help but exclaim. It was an elaborate model of the northern border city of Blackhammer. Carving on crystal is a very difficult task, and all crystal crafts are very expensive luxuries. The price surpassed gold. The model of the Black Hammer Fort in front of you is even more exquisite, and it is conceivable that to carve out such a piece of castle model handicrafts, it will take at least a skilled old craftsman to work for more than three months.

Pavel was so concerned that Dennis was suddenly a little embarrassed. From the bottom of her heart, she doesn't like this little prince very much, he is very handsome, not a bad person, and he is very attentive to herself. But Dennis just doesn't have much feeling for him, she misses him occasionally, but not the kind of love between lovers, it's more because of the attachment that arises from her loneliness, hoping for someone to talk to her, that's all. Dennis had some complications, she didn't know whether she should accept Pavel's gift or not, whether she should accept his kindness.

"Do you like it?"

Just as he was hesitating, Pavel spoke. He was full of anticipation and his eyes were full of concern. This couldn't help but make Dennis's heart ripple a little.

She nodded. The prince smiled like a child with a toy. He hadn't been so happy in a long time, as if he was happy when he saw Dennis happy. This emotion is almost uncontrollable. He longed to spend a little more time with Dennis and cherish every minute and every second he spent with her.

"If you like it, if you like. I know you've been away from home for six years, and you haven't been back once in six years. So, I asked people to carefully build this model, so that you can miss your hometown on weekdays. ”

Pavel whispered. He watched Dennis, caring about her every move, every expression.

"Thank you, Pavel. A smile of innocence rose at the corner of Dennis's mouth, but then, a hint of melancholy was written on her still immature face, "But you gave me such a precious gift, it will be ...... for your mother to find out."

"Do you mean my mother?" a hint of arrogance and disdain flashed in the corner of Pavel's eyes, "what if she finds out? This is a gift from me, and does it need her consent?"

Pavel stood up, dissatisfaction leaping across his face.

"Not like that, I just wanted to say - the Ice Queen won't let you get so close to a witch......"

Dennis walked up behind Pavel and whispered.

"This is my freedom, and she has no right to interfere. Pavel returned unequivocally. He turned around and put a hand on Dennis's shoulder, "Don't worry, I'm Prince Kislev, and I still have that power." Even if my mother doesn't want me to get too close to you now, I'm sure she'll change her mind in the future. Besides, you're no ordinary witch, you're the most promising witch in Kislev, and if you had been born into a ducal family, you'd probably be the Queen's hand by now. ”

In the face of Pavel's kindness, Dennis only smiled slightly, she removed Pavel's hand, and took a small step back. She still knows the complexities of many interpersonal relationships, and Dennis knows very well what kind of person the Ice Queen is. She will never change herself because of other people's words. Moreover, she will not be as close to her son as the outside world thinks.

Also, what his feelings for Pavel are, Dennis himself can't figure out...... Until then, she had better keep her distance from His Royal Highness, she thought......
