"Boris, I didn't expect you to play. And also defeated the Arena Champion. ”

At the Kislev Arena, Boris, who had just won the title of Arena Champion, was met by Tsar Pavel. For Pavel and Boris, they are no strangers to each other. In the dungeons of Kislev, young Boris met Pavel, who was a prince and not a tsar. Pavel was equally impressed by the young man, who was the only one who dared to bow in front of the prince.

It's just that time has passed, and the young people of that year are no longer immature and rampant. Boris made a serious salute when he saw Pavel, who was the Tsar. Because, in the battle to liberate the city of Kislev, in that deep and dark dungeon, he and his father Vladimir had sworn allegiance to Pavel. Even if I don't agree with it very much, I have made an oath and must keep it.

"It's just to move your muscles and bones and join in the fun. I didn't expect to win a championship because of this. ”

Boris replied humbly. He glanced at the noble and gorgeous Tsar, but his eyes were suddenly attracted by the woman behind the Tsar. To be exact, it's not a woman, it's still a girl...... The girl was dressed in a plain velvet robe, with light makeup painted on her face, and her face was pure. The fair face is slightly red, and under the small and tall nose is a thin cherry mouth. Compared with the women in the palace with heavy makeup, the girl next to Pavel can be described as amazing.

When the maiden walked up to the Tsar and sat down with Pavel, Boris realized that she was the queen.

For a moment, Boris's mind conjured up many scenes about Dennis, and it seemed that the queen appeared at King Pavel's wedding and at the meeting where Pavel offered a bounty on the Northern Alliance. It's just that on those occasions, I was too far away from her and didn't see my face clearly at all. They had met many times, but this time, it was really face-to-face.

"An arena is just an arena after all, and the true warriors and guardians of Kislev belong to the soldiers who fought on the front lines. It's a pity that the warriors from the north didn't participate, otherwise, the game would have been more exciting. ”

Pavel said with a smile. Boris nodded politely to the king, but his mind was completely absorbed by the queen beside him. Dennis, yes, Boris knows her name, knows her experience, and like her father, Queen Dennis's experience is just as legendary. The girl had the dual charm of appearance and intelligence, and for a moment Boris stared at Dennis as if bewitched by magical magic.

But he quickly reacted and refocused his gaze on the Tsar.

"According to the rules, you will be rewarded with a champion. Later, Ivanzhov will take you to claim the prize. ”

Tsar Pavel read.

"No, Your Majesty, I'm not here for the prize money. Just to exercise yourself. I never thought I would win the championship. There are still many civilians in the city who do not have food and clean water. Prices are very high for many people who do not have stable jobs. The bonus will be distributed to them as a transitional relief fund. ”

Boris said, and after a pause, something suddenly occurred to him, adding-

"Also, don't tell the public that this is a competitive prize. I think that's a pressure on the other champions. ”

After Boris finished speaking, Pavel nodded with satisfaction.

"Come, Boris, valiant warrior of Kislev, tonight, I will have a victory dinner, and you and your father will come together to celebrate your victory in the arena. ”

Pavel continued with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty. ”

Boris nodded respectfully.

"Boris!"

Boris was woken up from the room by his father's shouts, and he was dressing himself. Two hours ago, I groomed my hair, and then I sorted out my clothes. When Boris opened his closet, he realized that he hadn't had many fancy clothes over the years. There had never been a time when he was so poor that it was too late to leave his servants looking for clothes, for they would not necessarily fit.

"Hurry up, we're going to be late, Pavel doesn't like to be late, there have never been courtiers such as the Tsar. ”

Father Vladimir shouted loudly downstairs, and the servants had already prepared the carriage and waited for the two masters to go out.

Boris, who is a perfectionist, can only do the final tidying up and hurries downstairs. Even though the dress looked so form-fitting, Boris always felt that it was not enough. It is an incomparable honor to receive the king's banquet in the evening. It's just that Boris is more focused on seeing Dennis again. The girl...... Boris could only shake his head and tell himself to be sober. Queen! she's a queen!!

The road to the palace was not long, and after passing through a few alleys, the carriage drove straight onto Tsar's Boulevard, the main thoroughfare built since the time of Queen Catalina the Blood, which runs north and south of the city of Kislev. It was wide enough to accommodate six wagons side by side.

The moonlight poured down on Boris's face through the carriage and boat, and the upcoming banquet made him excited, and at the same time, there was a hint of nervousness. This is very strange, in the past, on the battlefield of 10,000 people, he did not feel the emotions but today they have repeatedly surfaced.

This section of the road is also so long, in the past, it only took ten minutes to walk, but today it is like walking for several hours by horse-drawn carriage. When the carriage stopped at the gate of the palace, Boris got out of the carriage in order to get dressed and dressed.

They weren't late, it was a private dinner. Only the royal couple and Vladimir father and son.

As soon as Boris and his father sat down, Pavel appeared with Queen Dennis. On the crystal throne, it is Dennis, and on the golden throne, it is the new king Pavel.

"Very well, here you are. ”

Pavel smirked. His loyal knights defeated the King of the Arena, and the spectacular game drove the populace into a frenzy, temporarily forgetting the fear of burning Chaos Cultists and demolitions.

Pavel only felt that everything was going well, and all this was due to his wife, Dennis.

"Let's get started. ”

The king snapped his fingers, and the servants began to serve their meal one by one.

"Vladimir, you also have the credit for the success of this competition. It is your due diligence that ensures that law and order are guaranteed. In the past six months, there has not been a single violent incident. ”

Pavel said happily.

"This is my duty, Your Majesty. ”

Despite the fact that it was a private dinner, Vladimir kept the etiquette attentive. He and Pavel knew each other very well, but the king was the king, and, no matter how familiar he was, Vladimir always felt that he and King Pavel were not the same kind of people, and from the day Pavel forced their father and son to pledge allegiance in the dungeon, Vladimir felt that he would never be able to befriend the prince in the future.

They chatted and laughed. It's just that Boris has no intention of dining, and his eyes always unconsciously stay on Queen Dennis. Her face, her smile, her cheerful and lively personality...... Boris only felt that he had fallen, but he could not show it.

He looked at her, and she always seemed to glance at him from time to time......
