Chapter 181: Temptation
The tables and teacups made of crystal, the cold beds made of ice, the ceilings and ice chandeliers glowing with soft blue light, everything is beautiful. This is the Winter Palace of Ice, where the Snow Queen deals with government affairs and state affairs. At the same time, it is also a place where countless Frost Witches want to stay all their lives, and it has the most powerful frost energy in the whole of Kislev, which can provide the most abundant ice power for advanced Frost Witches.
However, Dennis didn't want to stay in this place. It was nothing more than a gorgeous cage for her. She was allowed to come and go freely in the Ice and Snow Winter Palace, but under the nose of the Ice Queen, there was no more freedom than moving from one cage to another.
The Academy of Magic is a cage, and the Winter Palace of Ice is also a cage, and for Dennis, it is better to choose the former. At least, there were her familiar companions, her familiar classrooms and dormitories, and the crow that was ready to watch her on the windowsill every night.
And here, she has nothing. Although staying in a place that many witches are out of reach, Dennis is not excited at all. Her heart was cold to the extreme. But she had to persevere, her father Rhodes revolted in the north, she didn't blame him, it was inevitable, the whole country was ruled by the vampire queen, how many innocent people died under the guns of the forbidden army, how many people starved to death in the cold and froze to death.
All this should have ended a long time ago by someone. Maybe this is the fate of their father and son. Dennis thought in amazement, she just longed to have a full childhood and youth like an ordinary girl, and even such a simple wish seemed out of reach.
The gentle call of his father, the familiar rooms and stairs of Blackhammer Castle are all blurred in his memory at this moment. No one will care what a little girl is thinking, what she desires, no one will care...... Everyone is running for their own future, for power, status and money......
Dennis sat in a delicate ice crystal chair, staring out the window wistfully, when suddenly, the skylight of the room was opened. A man dressed in black rolled in from outside the house. He had ropes and climbing tools in his hands, and Dennis was about to call someone, but was stopped by the man.
He took off his mask, revealing his slightly handsome face, and made a "shhhh
Dennis's beautiful blue eyes looked at him like a water-stopping lake in autumn, calm and undisturbed.
"I am your father's man, and he asked me to come and rescue you. ”
The man whispered cautiously. He looked around, left the rope on the skylight, and motioned for Dennis to grab the rope and he would leave here with her.
However, it was Dennis's extremely indifferent face that greeted him.
"Hurry up, princess! we don't have much time!"
The man in black said excitedly, he wanted to shout, but the environment made it impossible for him to do so. You have to keep an eye out for the outside at all times, this is the Ice and Snow Winter Palace, the most heavily guarded place in the whole of Kislev.
Yes, the most heavily defended place......
Dennis tilted his head to look at him, then stretched out her white and immaculate hands, and a chill gathered in her hands.
"Princess, what are you doing here? Come with me, there's no time!"
"No, I'm Dennis, the servant of Her Royal Highness Caterina, the Ice Queen, this is my home, Rhodes is a traitor, I don't have a father like that!"
After saying that, a cold air rushed towards the man in black.
Even though he couldn't see any weapons, the cold ice on all sides was like a rope, instantly trapping the man in black in place. Soon, his skin was frozen, and the cold that penetrated deep into his bone marrow made the corners of his mouth twitch and his lips purple. And Dennis just continued to cast spells with a blank face......
"Stop! what's going on?!" reads the nest
Just as magic was about to take the life of the 'stalker', the archmage Irene burst in with the guards.
She sternly stopped Dennis's actions, and the magic backlash caused Dennis to take a small step back, but it did not break Dennis's Frost Ring. It wasn't until Dennis voluntarily canceled the spell that the man in black fell to the ground like an ice sculpture, a faint breath coming out of his nostrils, and the guards quickly arrested the infiltrator.
"This man broke into my room and tried to take me away. ”
Dennis replied honestly. Erin could barely see a trace of impurity in her eyes, and Dennis's bright eyes were as clear and touching as they were on her first day at the Academy of Magic.
"You almost killed him just now. But you're doing it right. ”
Mentor Erin wanted to continue to say something, but when she saw Dennis with a serious face, she swallowed the words back.
"I'll step up my guards, rest assured, it won't happen a second time. ”
The instructor emphasized, and exited the room.
All that was left was the room full of silence and indifference......
Another farce......
Dennis sighed inwardly. A maturity beyond her age leaped into her face, and the northern ...... Family...... She knew it wouldn't be so easy for her to go back.
......
"It's a good thing you came in time, otherwise my life would have been buried in the hands of that little girl, damn it, that's really a demon, or a child with such powerful magical powers. ”
"She's no ordinary child. ”
After rescuing the man in black, Erin frowned. The Man in Black was the Queen's secret police, and he was originally sent in to test Dennis's sincerity. But now it seems that the temptation is useless, and even Erin herself begins to wonder if Dennis is really brainwashed, or is she just acting? But if she is acting, why is there no flaw? According to the words of the man in black, the little girl did not even hesitate at all, and reached out to take her own life.
Of course, if Dennis is really on the side of the Ice Queen, it would be easy to do, and there is nothing more exciting than having her step in and stand up to her father. It's just that after getting along for a long time, Erin is still not at ease, she knows what kind of person Dennis is, talented, smart and clever...... So clever that it sometimes feels unreal.
"Are you sure she didn't react when she heard her father's name?"
Archmage Irene continued to ask.
"No response...... I'm sure she's going to kill me when she comes up...... And said that she had no father, and that Rhodes was a traitor......"
The man in black gasped as his fingers froze and could not recover for hours...... Thinking of the scene just now, he didn't want to stay by that little girl's side anymore.
