"She's been thinking about you. ”

Alves raised an eyebrow. His expression was unexpectedly solemn, like a sky shrouded in clouds.

"I know, I know. ”

Rod sighed.

This matter is like a knot stuck in the heart, and people don't know how to deal with it. I don't know when it started, Lyanna looked at her differently. Everything was in Rhodes' eyes, but he couldn't make any changes. When reason and emotion are intertwined, as the king of the north, you can only choose the former.

"You know, why is it still making her so painful?"

Alves asked unrelentingly. The cold wind blew across the windowsill, just as they were in now, depressed and cold.

"Then what can I do? I have arranged for her countless noble children, but she is unwilling!"

"She lives in her heart, how can she accept others? Even if she does, can she really be happy?"

"Then what do you want me to do?

In the dark room, the conversation between Rhodes and Alves was particularly harsh. Fortunately, there are no outsiders here, and they can't be heard talking to each other.

"Not to marry her, at least, you can see her as a lover. What lord doesn't have some overt or underground lover?"

Alves asked rhetorically. His thick eyebrows were clumped, something that wasn't his business, but every time he saw Lyanna's melancholy expression, Alves felt uncomfortable. It was the same feeling he had when he had been abandoned by his first love, and after a long time, he felt that he always cared so much about the priestess......

"Other lords can, but I can't. ”

Rod sighed and returned.

"Why?!"

"You know, why ask?"

"You can be clear, yes, I don't really understand!"

Alves asked.

"Well, I'll tell you, because I'm not only the Lord of Blackhammer Castle, but also the King of the North! This title is not a simple title, it represents responsibility and obligation! It is my duty to rule the North and unite the North. What would Caroline think if she had made Lyanna her lover and let Caroline know? You know everything Caroline has done to me over the years, without her, Blackhammer would not be where it is today. What's more, she is also a member of the North, the lord of Heidelberg, who has gone through so many hardships and finally united the North. Having Lyanna as my lover may seem like a personal matter, but it's actually about the future of the entire North. ”

Maybe she wouldn't mind...... "Okay."

Alves whispered.

"No, I know her. Others may not mind, Caroline definitely will. What's more, she and I haven't had children until now. What would she think if I were to get along with another woman? I couldn't touch her sensitive nerves. It's not just between us, it's about the whole North. At the moment, the situation is stalemate, and there is no room for error. ”

Rhodes replied earnestly.

"When did you become so rational, it's not like you. ”

Alves muttered to himself.

"It can also be said that it is more timid. ”

Rod laughed at himself.

"Responsibility...... Damn responsible. ”

Alves cursed, in fact, he knew what Rhodes said. But Lyanna's desperate and painful eyes always appeared before his eyes. It's been a long time, a long time, and he hasn't cared about anyone like this.

......

Kislev City, Bandagar Palace.

Rain falls from the black iron sky and knocks on the roof, heralding the arrival of summer. In the northern country of Kislev, there is no snow only in the summer. When the ice melts, it's time for the country's farmers to plow.

Dennis stood on the windowsill and watched everything recover outside, but his mood was extremely calm. At the most critical moment of the Civil War, both the Ice Queen Catalina and his father Rhodes gathered all their troops together, and a decisive battle was about to break out. Dennis didn't have the heart to feel the short summer, and the recovery of life would eventually wither one day.

Behind her, the slender, fair-skinned woman had been standing for a long time. It wasn't a human female, to be exact, but a vampire. Roy stood there nobly, standing with Dennis for a long time. Erin, the Frost Witch, changed the hands of Dennis in custody, but she never dreamed that even if it was a new group of people, there would be spies among them. The vampires of House Lenia have been lurking within Kislev for more than a decade in order to bring down the traitor Katarina. The sociable and political Lenia family can even penetrate the empire, especially in Kislev, a remote northern country.

The Academy of Magic is next to the Royal Palace, this road Dennis is not too familiar, although she has been in the city of Kislev for nearly seven years, but it has been spent in the Academy of Magic, the Royal Palace does not belong to her, to be exact, not to the Frost Witch with no background like her.

The Academy of Magic in early summer was silent, and wizards and wizard apprentices were all summoned. They secretly gather in the basement and wait for Dennis' arrival. Among them, there are her former classmates, friends, senior sisters, and even teachers who once taught her magic and rules...... And now, all of them have become her followers. When the news that the Ice Queen was a vampire spread, the voice of resistance quietly sounded in the depths of the Academy of Magic. And the transfer of the archmage Irene has allowed this force to grow and grow invisibly.

Dennis walked into the middle of the crowd with a serious face, there were no guards around her, but no one dared to violate her. The little bird that was once bullied and ridiculed has now become a wizard leader.

Roy watched her from a short distance, watching the little girl glow with charm and energy in the crowd. She's like a natural leader, lurking, lurking, lurking. Then it exploded at the most appropriate moment, stood in the center of the crowd, and became the tide of the times. This father and daughter are a perfect match. Roy sighed in his heart. However, this also makes it more difficult for the family to control the power of Kislev in the future. It's just that to bring down Katarina, this girl is a crucial link. Her position in the Academy of Magic, her place in the heart of the amorous prince Pavel, made Dennis one of the most important figures in this transformation.

"Sisters, all the students from the Academy of Magic, I am greatly encouraged by your courage. ”

On stage, Dennis read it aloud. She was like a natural orator, instantly gathering the attention of the whole group. In the audience, Villanell, the frost witch who is a sworn friend, looked at her friend with a serious face, rebelling against the Ice Queen, and she made up her mind. In other words, if she failed, her father would be implicated, but for Dennis's sake, she did it anyway......
