Chapter 238: Return
The cold wind mixed with ice flowers drifted outside the gate of the camp in the north, and the closer she got to her father, the more frightened and uneasy she became. Is this true? Is this reality? Dennis asked herself repeatedly, pinching her face and realizing that it hurts...... The whistling wind in my ears blows the corners of my clothes, proving that this is also the real world.
Finally, she took a step and continued on her way. The sound of horses' hooves was heard in front of them, and it was two northern horsemen, spears and shields in their hands, who stopped their horses when they saw Dennis, and their eyes under their hoods were fixed on the strange visitor.
"Who are you, what are you doing here?"
The guard asked solemnly. Dennis didn't wear wizard's robes, she didn't carry a staff, and with her rudimentary clothing, no one would associate her with the Frost Witch.
"This is the Northern Camp, right?"
Dennis asked. The sound is crisp, even in the howling wind.
"Tell me who you are first!"
The guard didn't answer, but pressed more harshly, and at the same time, the brown eyes looked at the girl on the ground alertly. They are guards, and this is naturally the scope of work.
"I am Dennis, Lord of Blackhammer and daughter of Rod Lawn, King of the North. Trouble the two of you to go back and report it. ”
Dennis suppressed his ecstasy and spoke as calmly as he could.
But a contemptuous smile appeared on the guard's face—
"Just you, daughter of the King of the North?"
"Princess Dennis is the first target of our rescue, the king of the north has an order, and the first person to find and rescue Princess Dennis after the city is broken will offer a reward of five thousand gold crowns. Hehe, just you, and you still want to pretend to be Her Royal Highness, if you were Dennis, that old vampire would let you out so easily?"
Another horseman on horseback laughed contemptuously. Although this was a contemptuous remark, it made Dennis feel extremely warm in his heart, and it seemed that his father did not abandon him as he thought. Instead, the situation forced them to raise troops as a last resort. In his heart, he has always had his daughter......
"I warn you once more that I am the daughter of Rhodes Lawn, King of the North, and that you had better go back and report to him now. Otherwise, when I see him, you two will be punished severely. Whether it's his daughter or not, you will know when you see it. ”
Dennis took off his cape, his voice stern and high-pitched. The two guards suddenly felt that the situation was not good, the girl in front of them was about sixteen or seventeen years old, with light blue eyes, brown hair, delicate face, coupled with that extremely confident speech and expression, it was not sure that it was the daughter of the king of the north that he had been looking for, Dennis.
"You're here watching her, and I'll report it right back. ”
The guards on black horses shouted, shouted loudly, and ran towards the camp.
A few minutes later, a team of galloping knights appeared in the open field. At the head was a tall man, his body so majestic that from afar, it looked like a grizzly bear lying on a black horse. So, is he a father? Dennis pursed her lips, the excitement in her heart was self-evident, she could feel her heartbeat so violently, for the first time in seven years, she really returned to her father's arms, and his father could be said to be her only relative in this world.
Without that sensational shout, Rod hurried up to confirm more quickly whether the girl who suddenly appeared was Dennis. It wasn't until he got closer that Rod confirmed that she was Dennis...... Although I haven't seen it for many years, I can't forget that face. Everybody reads
"You've grown taller. ”
Rod dismounted, looked at the girl in front of him, and for a moment, could hardly believe that she was Dennis.
"Father's ......"
Countless words that I had thought about before we met, but it was difficult to say at this moment, Dennis only felt that thousands of emotions suddenly surged into her heart, and the feelings that had been suppressed for seven years burst at this moment, like a dam that collapsed, and the flood that burst the embankment drowned her. For the first time in seven years, she has returned home in the true sense of the word, and where there is a father, there is a home......
Dennis pounced on him and hugged Rhodes like he had done when he was a child.
The two guards on the side immediately looked at each other and didn't dare to say anything.
"I can't believe it, how did you get out of that cave?
On horseback, with Dennis in his arms, Rod asked softly, the voice full of tenderness and care.
"Someone helped me escape. Dennis replied with a smile, "In that palace, Caterina's enemies lurk. ”
"Maybe in the future it will be our enemy too...... Not now, though. ”
Dennis hesitated for a moment, then continued.
"What are you talking about?"
Rod asked in a low voice. On horseback, Dennis's long hair was attached to Rod's chest, it was a familiar smell, and for a moment, Rod's eyes seemed to appear as Dennis's childhood, but it was already a matter of fact, and the innocent and naughty little girl back then has now grown into a generous girl.
"Roy, a female vampire from a different family faction than Katarina. I still don't know where she came from or who she really is, but she's been helping me and helping us bring down the Ice Queen. ”
Dennis hesitated to tell Rhodes everything he had seen and heard in the palace during this time, and what he had experienced. After all, that was his father, the only person in the world who could be trusted.
Rhodes pondered for a moment, this kind of thing is not uncommon in court fights, it's just that a vampire can hide by Caterina's side for years, which shows that her strength is by no means ordinary. An ally now, an enemy in the future. Because an ally is an ally because there is a common enemy, and when that enemy is gone, everything is different. Whether it's the female vampire named Roy or the Knights of the Black Rose, Rhodes knows that they are not for no purpose in helping him. The Knights of the Black Rose came from the Empire, and the high-ranking members had dealings with the upper echelons of the Empire, and they fought bloodily in a foreign land, saying that they had no purpose but to revive Moorish religion in Kislev, which Rhodes did not believe. Of course, there is also this female vampire who suddenly appeared, and the purpose behind her so keen to help Dennis is probably not pure.
It's just that now is not the time to think about these things, after all, the biggest enemy, the Ice Queen Katarina, is still there. The walls of Kislev still stand in front of the armies of the North.
"Okay, let's not talk about that for now, you can come back safely, let's go back to the camp first. My baby daughter is back and there's nothing more to celebrate. ”
As he spoke, Rhodes grabbed his horse and galloped towards the smoke-filled northern camp. At the end of the vast wilderness, you can vaguely see the tall towers and gates of Kislev......
