"Baron Rod Lawn. ”

"Her Majesty. ”

The empty Ice Palace echoed with a simple and concise conversation between the two, and Rhodes stood in the center of the hall, looking up at the Queen. The gray light shone through the eye of the dome, elongating Rod's figure, which was all lonely.

Katerina's height and size looked normal, and Rhodes didn't feel anything strange except for her pale skin and lips. Except for the low temperature, she looks no different from ordinary people. Of course, Rhodes knew that under this ordinary shell, there was infinite power. As a legendary witch, Caterina possesses the strongest ability for frost magic. Even her movements, her voice, were full of ice.

She deliberately did not mention Rod's title, which seemed to be contemptuous, and it seemed that she just didn't want to mention it. Or, in her eyes, the little Black Hammer Fort was not worth mentioning at all.

She had almost forgotten that the northern town was not even a small town, it was just a village.

"I didn't think you were coming, Rod. ”

"Her Majesty has ordered me to come. ”

"Tell me about your daughter, give me an explanation, Baron, or you know very well what you will face. ”

Caterina said coldly. She sat there, on a throne made of white gold and ice, motionless. But her voice was as cold and piercing as an ice arrow.

"Your Majesty the Queen, my daughter, Dennis, was an accident. Eight years ago, I watched her be born, and she was so small, waiting to be fed, like an angel. She had lived with me for eight years, and if she had been a witch, I should have found out about her a long time ago, however, after eight years, Dennis did not show the slightest bit of an unusualness. She is so simple, so happy to live in the castle. If she were a witch, she would have noticed it herself. However, for eight years, nothing has happened. I didn't know what was going on until Dennis was taken away by the Frost Witch. ”

Standing on the cold palace floor, Rhodes replied solemnly. The words are also mixed with a father's love for his daughter. Of course, these emotions are not for the queen to experience, she was originally a frost witch, the ice magic studied by the ice queen has been superb, and the cold blood freezes her feelings, it can be said that almost all feelings make her extremely rational and rational.

Rod's words with feelings were more used to let the surrounding ministers and nobles listen, after all, no matter how powerful Caterina was, she also needed the support of the great nobles and families of these kingdoms. Everyone has sons and daughters, and what Rhodes wants is to show them the love and responsibility that a father should have. This may resonate with some people......

"How do you prove it? How do you prove that what you're saying is true? How do you prove that you don't know anything about your daughter being a witch?"

Caterina asked. Her voice echoed through the hall again.

"I really didn't know anything about Dennis's talent for ice, she didn't show a magical affinity growing up. Besides, the entire castle didn't notice anything unusual. Your Majesty, Dennis, my daughter grew up in Blackhammer Castle, and my men, my soldiers, played well with her, and they all liked her and let her play freely in the castle. Sometimes the soldiers would amuse her and play with her. We know the laws of the kingdom, and everyone has the obligation to report the discovery of the Frost Witch. If Dennis really is a witch......"

Rod paused, pretending to think, and then continued earnestly—

"Oh...... I'm sorry...... She's really a witch...... I mean, over the years, everyone at Blackhammer has known my daughter, and no one has noticed anything wrong with her body, and no one, including me, has ever thought she was a witch. If I had known she was a witch, I don't think I would have reported it to others. Isn't it?"

"Don't question your queen. ”

The high-ranking Frost Witch beside Caterina rebuked loudly.

In terms of appearance, she is more beautiful than the Ice Queen, but unfortunately, she is a ruthless fellow, a sword by the queen's side. Rod thought to himself.

"Sorry, I didn't mean that. ”

Rhodes bowed his head back.

"Dear Her Majesty, I think Lord Rhodes's words have some truth, although the Black Hammer Castle is not large, it is also a small castle, and the people of the castle plus the villagers who come and go, it is impossible for no one to find out in eight years. The other laws of the kingdom may not be clear to the peasants, but it is a household name to find that the Frost Witch must report this law. There is no one who is unaware of the importance of this law, whose authority is both royal power. No one dared to disobey it. Even if this Lord Rhodes has three heads and six arms, he can shut up his subordinates, but dozens of people, plus those villagers, it is impossible for everyone to have such a tight mouth. After all, the law is above all else, and I don't think even the people of the north would dare to openly disobey the law. ”

In the silence, Medrly, the lord of Lonely Wind City in the south, spoke.

As a lord of one side of the kingdom of Kislev, he has the right to speak. I saw the woman on the throne nodding slightly, presumably, Rod knew that his words had almost moved her. A lord, to put it bluntly, is a man with no special abilities, and it is actually normal for him to not be able to find out about witches at the first time. Witches belong to the category of magic, and humans are a race with no magical talent, and ordinary people can't feel magic at all if they are not wizards. It can be explained that on a moonlit and dark night, the poor girl suddenly awakened to the power of frost, while her father slept in the castle tower.

"Your Majesty, I have a request...... There may be some irregularities, but please allow me. ”

After feeling that the atmosphere was more peaceful, Rod slowly spoke and said his request.

Everyone stared at him, curious and surprised.

"Say, Baron Rhodes. ”

The Ice Queen on the throne spoke again. This time, her voice softened a little. It's not as sharp and piercing as it used to be.

"Your Majesty, I would like to see my daughter again, Dennis. I was outside when your men took her away, and I didn't have time to say goodbye to her......"

Rhodes said.

"You know that once the Frost Witch is sent to the Academy of Magic, she can't see anyone again. ”

The High Witch beside the Queen returned in a stern tone.

"But I'm her father...... For the sake of the gods, just one side. ”

Rod asked again.

The Ice Queen on the throne finally nodded......
