It was a lion-like roar that shattered the silence and coldness of the Winter Palace, and with astonishing speed and explosiveness, the captain of the Krem Forbidden Army, Oka slashed at the archmage Erin on the steps, with his sword in hand.

However, the High Witch Erin was still more skilled, she turned slightly sideways to dodge the attack, and at the same time, the instant frost spell quickly froze Captain Krem's arm. In the next second, Okka's movements were noticeably slower, and he swung his arm vigorously, trying to stab the sword into the Frost Witch's body, but his attack with all his strength seemed clumsy and sluggish to Witch Irene.

The archmage recited the incantation, and a frost spear sprouted out of thin air in his hand. It easily dodges the Captain of the Guard's assassination. The sharp guard sword was knocked back.

As Oka roared and prepared for his next attack, the frost bound his feet. It was as if a pair of icy hands rose from the ground, firmly entangled in Oka's feet. He couldn't move, and the skin and blood all over his body were quickly frozen, which made his movements even more sluggish.

It wasn't meant to be a fair matchup. As the most powerful Frost Witch around the Ice Queen, Erin is even a powerful wizard who can summon a blizzard independently, and Oka is only a mortal no matter how powerful he is. Flesh and blood are no match for the power of magic. He roared and struggled, and the captain of the Praetorian Guard, who could have killed a wild boar with one punch, was frozen in place, unable to move.

"Betraying the queen will not end well!"

Erin whispered contemptuously. She gripped the frost spear tightly and stabbed it into Captain Krem's chest with a blank face.

......

The crescent moon is like a hook, and the night is as cool as water.

Standing on the balcony, Roy's figure disappeared into the darkness. Her bright eyes flashed a blood-red. The news of Oka's death came in the evening. As the most important person placed by the Lymia family by Katarina's side, Oka's death is undoubtedly a great loss for the family. Roy couldn't help but lose his mind, not because she had any special feelings for the leader of the forbidden army, but because he was sad about the damage to the family's interests. How long did it take them to train a captain who installed a Krem guard, and now, they were pulled out by the Frost Witch by the Queen's side. This means that Erin is likely to notice more than just Okka. They will have to be more cautious in their actions in the future.

"Master?"

Inside the room, the maid Nevia slowly walked out of the shadows.

In her hand she held a bronze mirror as clean as new, almost reflecting the moonlight.

"Nevia, you go down now, and inform all the sisters in the congregation to avoid appearing near the Ice and Snow Winter Palace during this time. Also avoid contact with Pavel. This waste prince is now dangerous. ”

"Dangerous?"

"Well, it's dangerous, it's not that he's dangerous, it's that everyone around him is dangerous. Erin was already starting to notice him. Roy said with a frown, a hint of melancholy flashing across her pretty face. "Anyway, go down first, tell the sisters, and stay away from the land of right and wrong. There will be a chance, we have been waiting for ten years and don't care about waiting a few more months. Now we have to hide ourselves and wait for the storm to pass. Because I don't know who Erin will arrange to take Oka's place, and those Oka soldiers will definitely not be able to escape this fate. There will be new people stationed in the Winter Palace, and it will be up to her to arrange it, and we will have a chance. There is no hurry at this time. ”

"Yes, master. ”

"For Queen Nefrata. ”

"For Queen Nevrata!" 168 Books

The two exchanged glances, and Nevia quickly stepped back. The room was quiet and dark again.

......

It had been two days since Pavel learned of Okka's murder, and when the High Wizard Erin arrived outside the prince's chamber with a new palace guard, the prince immediately understood what was going on. He looked at the cold witch Irene, his heart was full of hatred, and he thought that it was a good opportunity for Queen Katerina to go out and leave Kislev City. But I didn't expect the opponent to come up with such a move. Uproot the most important people at the most critical moments. What does Oka's departure mean to Pavel Pavel knows very well, it means that he will lose his personal freedom again in the future, what can a prince who is no longer even free do? Pavel even wondered if the nobles who had been supporting him for two months would turn against him?

"Prince Pavel, how are you doing?"

When the old and new guards were handed over, Erin walked into the room where the prince was imprisoned with a haughty face.

Unlike the other rooms of the Hermitage, Pavel's room is the only one that seems to be filled with warm colors. In the hall is an ebony round table, with chairs made of ivory and wood neatly arranged around it. Leaning against the wall is a tall wine cabinet. Inside, there are valuable and fine wines from all over the world. The curtains are beige, the same color as the sun. The flames in the fireplace crackled, radiating precious heat to the entire room. It's a temperature that the Frost Witches don't like.

"You also saw that it would be good to be captive?"

Pavel returned with a gloomy face. Outside, he is the prince of Kislev, one man above ten thousand, however, inside the palace, everyone knows that the prince is nothing. Aside from having a name, he is not even as powerful as the witches around the Ice Queen.

A slight smile rose at the corner of Erin's mouth, and there was pride on her fair and cold face that could not be concealed.

"Imprisoned? His Royal Highness the Prince can't talk nonsense. Her Majesty hopes that Her Royal Highness the Prince will reflect on himself and settle himself. ”

"Then I want to thank you for caring for me in your busy schedule. ”

Pavel was annoyed.

Erin chuckled, as the agent of the Ice Queen, all the affairs of the Ice Hermitage were managed by her in the Queen's absence.

"You should thank me for discovering the bad worms around you in time, and preventing His Royal Highness from continuing to fall. The High Rank Witch Irene said with a smile, "Her Majesty the Witch has a reason to protect you, this is for your own good, the outside world is too dangerous, you need to identify which enemies are and which ones are the people who really care about you." The Ice Queen is your mother, and she will never hurt you. ”

Erin said with a smile.

"She's such a good mother. A sneer flashed across Pavel's face. "Of course, she's still a good king. ”

"It is best for His Royal Highness the Prince to have such an awareness, there are too many people with ill intentions, you must protect yourself well, staying here is the best protection for you. ”

Erin said with a smile. When the eyes of the two met, they were full of hatred and contempt.
