"Phew!"
Søren soaked his whole body in the hot spring and let out a long sigh of relief. He couldn't remember how long it had been since he last enjoyed a bath like this. Along the way, he didn't even take a shower, let alone soak in a luxurious bath. The white marble bath was ten meters wide, with lines carved by top craftsmen to prevent people from slipping on it. Above his head was a bright crystal lamp, which was a masterpiece of alchemy. It was estimated that only the palace could afford to use it.
At the top of the bathtub was a statue of a goddess. She was covered in gauze, revealing her beautiful body. She held up her hands and spread them out, and a clear hot spring gushed out. This seemed to be the statue of the Goddess of River and Spring Water. Probably only the royal family of Arendelle would put her next to the bathtub. The bath had a special design. The hot spring inside was running water, and the water flow was constant. It flowed almost all year round. Next to it was a luxurious bed, with two beautiful maids standing on the left and right, holding an expensive silk robe in their hands.
The warm water washed away his tiredness, and Søren felt lazy.
Unfortunately, he didn't stay in it for long, because he eventually had to return to his original path. He didn't want to indulge in pleasure. When he stood up from the bathtub, the two maids walked over with blushing faces. Then, they helped him put on a silky robe on each side. One of them led him to lie down on the bed, and then the other stretched out her fingers and gently patted him on the back. This was a special massage technique, very professional. It made Søren feel that his blood was flowing. They should be specially trained maids.
It felt really comfortable.
The two maids rubbed and pressed with their slender little hands, and from time to time, they would press on some acupoints. This technique first came from the Temple, and then gradually spread among the nobles. Søren's breathing gradually evened out, and his body was more relaxed than ever because he was now in a very safe environment. The Princess Royal would not hurt the person who saved her sister, even if her attitude was not very friendly. Søren, who had relaxed, quickly fell asleep. The maids on both sides raised their hands and gently wiped his sweat. They then looked at each other and brought a soft velvet quilt from another room to cover him.
This was not a guest room for rest, but a place for massage and rest. But since he was already asleep, there was no need to disturb him.
The night passed quickly.
Princess Royal walked out in a snow-white nightgown. The exquisite lace skirt trailed on the floor, and her silky silver hair hung down. She looked less fierce and more gentle, like a goddess who had just woken up. The maid who was on night watch outside stood up, squatted down slightly and bowed. "Your Majesty! Do you want to shower and change? "
Princess Royal gently shook her head and slowly said, "No need. Is that person up yet? Have the Head of the Imperial Bodyguards come here. "
The maid quickly acknowledged and left.
After a while, the guard captain from yesterday came over. She bowed slightly and said, "Your Majesty? What orders do you have? "
The Eldest Princess looked at her and slightly knit her brows as she said, "Have someone prepare a reward and then send that person away. Anna said his name hundreds of times last night. I'm worried that she's too young and will easily fall in love with someone because of this! She's the princess of Arendelle and will be the queen of Arendelle in the future! That adventurer's identity is too strange! He has a murderous aura that makes me feel uneasy! Anna can't be too close to such a person! "
How could the future queen of Arendelle be too close to an adventurer with doom, fear, and murderous aura?
Such a person's hands were almost stained with blood. Wherever he went, there would be a storm of blood!
Princess Royal shook her head firmly and said, "Reward him more, and then send him away."
The guard captain took the order and left.
Princess Royal seemed to hesitate for a moment, and then said, "Let someone give him that weapon. I think he likes to use curved swords. This is a reward for saving Anna. "
Outside the room.
Søren woke up because of the footsteps outside. The other party seemed to have been here for a while, but did not leave. She just waited quietly outside, but judging from her breathing, she was in a hurry. Several times, she raised her hand and wanted to knock on the door. He slowly sat up, then reached out and touched the soft and comfortable silk robe on his body. Then there was a bitter smile on his face, but there was not much anger in his expression. It was just dawn, and someone couldn't wait to wake him up. It was self-evident what it meant.
Princess Royal did not welcome him!
Søren took off his robe and put on the rough cloth and leather armor. He looked at the luxurious room in front of him and murmured, "After this crisis, I'll prepare a room like this for Vivian in the future."
This was the life Vivian should have.
Instead of following him to wander from place to place, trekking through thousands of miles of wind and snow, weary and exhausted from the hardships of wind and snow.
An eight-year-old girl.
But she had never enjoyed a real life. In fact, she had been living a hard life.
Although she never complained.
Søren quickly changed his clothes and then slowly opened the door. Outside the door was the dignified guard captain. Her expression was a little surprised, and when she saw Søren's clothes, she was even more surprised. Because it meant that he had guessed the queen's intention. She was a very powerful adventurer, and she had already noticed that Princess Royal wanted him to leave as soon as possible. Behind her were two maids carrying delicate trays. On one of the trays was a scimitar. The exquisite scabbard showed that it was extraordinary. On the other tray was a pair of black silk gloves. There were strange inscriptions on the gloves. It seemed to be something extraordinary as well.
"Her Majesty asked me to …"
Just as the guard captain was about to speak, Søren interrupted her. In fact, he was not happy, but he was not angry.
He reached out and picked up the curved sword. His fingers stroked the scabbard, and then he pulled it out with a clang. The silver-white blade shone with a faint light. He gently cut his finger, and a trace of blood immediately gushed out. Then a wisp of frost appeared on his palm. It was indeed a legendary curved sword. It seemed that Princess Royal was not a mean person.
It was just that she did not want him to get close to Princess Anna.
"I know." Søren looked at the guard captain, reached out and put away the curved sword. Then he picked up the glove on the other tray and said expressionlessly: "I will leave soon, and I will not disturb Princess Anna again."
The guard captain was speechless.
His words made her unable to say what Princess Royal had secretly told her. Obviously, it made her feel a little embarrassed. After all, he also risked his life to save Princess Anna.
Søren glanced at the glove and gently put it on.
Princess Royal was indeed the Queen of Arendell. She actually gave him two pieces of legendary equipment, and they were very rare legendary equipment.
Item Type: Icingdeath [+ 2]
Item Grade: [Grade 2 Legendary Item]
Item Description: This is a weapon with a legendary history. Its former owner once took it into the Abyss of Hell. Its blade was stained with the blood of demons and devils, and there was a faint whisper of the souls of the dead. This was a curved sword forged with the northern [Ice Casting] process. Mithril was infiltrated during the forging process, which made the blade lighter than other weapons while maintaining its toughness and sharpness. This weapon condenses the power of ice. When it hits the enemy, it will cause them to suffer ice damage.
Requirements: Strength 10 or more [Strength Requirement -2].
Equipment Effect: Mithril Characteristic, Ice Casting Characteristic, + 5 Sharpness, + 5 Penetration, + 3 Toughness, + 2 Armor Break, + 3 Ice Damage.
Weapon Special Effect: [Icingdeath]. After this weapon hits a weak enemy, there is a certain chance of directly freezing the blood of the weak enemy, causing the enemy with the highest HP of less than 20 to die directly.
Weapon Characteristic: [Sharpness]. In battle, this weapon has a certain chance of cutting off any non-rare weapon. Any weapon below legendary has a small chance of being cut off by it. "
…
It was a very powerful legendary curved sword.
It was almost comparable to the two that Søren had forged in the Underdark. Princess Royal was very sincere in rewarding him, but her attitude towards Søren was not good. She had not even said a word to him until now.
Item Type: Battlemaster Gloves [+ 1].
Item Grade: [Grade 1 Legendary Item]
Item Description: A legendary item made with extraordinary spider silk. It uses special enchantment to activate a small dimensional space. The spider silk itself is extremely tough and can withstand most attacks without the slightest damage. It can also deflect some damage. It is very light and thin, like a thin layer of skin on the hand. It will not affect any battle at all.
Equipment Requirements: None.
Equipment Effect: Toughness + 1, Deflection + 1.
Item Special Effect: [One Meter Storage].
When Søren put on this pair of gloves, the curved sword in his hand suddenly disappeared, and then a flying sword appeared in his hand. Then a curved sword appeared in his left hand, then a curved sword appeared in his right hand, and then it immediately became a flying sword.
The rarest storage equipment in the world.
It was even more valuable than a storage ring because only adventurers who were proficient in battle would know how much more useful storage gloves were than a storage ring. Such an extraordinary item could allow them to change weapons at will. It was almost invincible in battle! The true value of this equipment was even more expensive than the legendary curved sword. The value of both equipment was almost comparable to a low-level noble title and a territory that was rewarded for generations.
Søren nodded silently.
He turned around and glanced at the palace, then walked out. This was not a place where he should stay.
The wind and snow shrouded his figure. He still had a long way to go.
…
-----
Before leaving, he saw the elder princess on the balcony. She was still so beautiful and noble, and still so high and mighty. Soran bowed slightly to show his respect, and then left without looking back.
He felt uncomfortable, but he was not angry because he felt that Princess Royal was a bit like him.
She was so careful to protect Princess Anna, which reminded Søren of his own Vivian. If he were in Princess Royal's perspective, he would not want Vivian to get too close to those bloody adventurers. Since she could quietly enjoy the comfortable life of a princess, why let her get close to those adventurers who were always surrounded by blood and killing?
Maybe one day.
Such people would die somewhere. It was so common for adventurers to be buried in the wilderness.
Søren's figure gradually faded away.
The wind and snow in the sky gradually shrouded him. The guards in the palace looked up at the sky, and then looked at the position of Princess Royal. If Her Majesty was not in a good mood, then snowflakes might fall from Arendelle. Princess Royal was a very restrained person. Outsiders rarely had the chance to see the emotions in her heart from her face. She was always the gentle and kind Her Majesty. Even in the face of the poor in the kingdom, she could smile and look at them.
She was so loved by Arendelle!
Princess Royal had been watching Søren leave. When he was about to walk out of the gate of the palace, she sighed softly.
"Sister?!"
Just as Princess Royal was about to go back, Princess Anna's voice suddenly sounded. She was wearing a lovely snow-white nightgown, rubbing the corners of her eyes with her small hands, and walked out barefoot. As if she was still a little confused, she muttered: "I just dreamed that Søren suddenly left! … Where is he? I want to see him! … "
Princess Royal's expression froze for a moment, and the snowflakes in the sky seemed to stop for a moment.
She sighed faintly and said slowly: "He's gone."
"What!?"
Princess Anna's eyes suddenly widened, and then a trace of moisture appeared in her beautiful big eyes. She sobbed as if she had been wronged, and then ran out of the palace barefoot without a word, leaving behind the elder princess with a face full of astonishment, and a young maid who was holding exquisite crystal shoes in her hand and shouting loudly, "Your Royal Highness, you haven't worn shoes yet."
The girl slid down the spiral stairs like a gust of wind, then lifted the corner of her nightgown with both hands and ran barefoot. After rushing out of the gate, she pushed aside the guards next to her, then turned over and rode a snow-white horse, and galloped towards the gate of the palace. Behind her was Princess Royal, who was still in shock and had not yet woken up from the sudden change, and the young maid who was holding the crystal shoes and standing at the door, panting.
Princess Anna galloped to the gate of the palace, and the nearby guards had already stopped in front of the palace gate.
She sobbed softly, feeling wronged and uncomfortable. She dismounted from her horse and pushed them away as if she was angry. Then, she ran barefooted up the stairs to the walls of the palace. In the distance, she could vaguely see a distant figure, but it was obscured by the wind and snow.
"So! Ren! "
Princess Anna put her small hands in front of her mouth to amplify her voice, and tears flowed down from her beautiful big eyes. She didn't know why she felt very wronged and uncomfortable in her heart. She looked at the figure that was gradually moving away in the wind and snow, and suddenly shouted: "Søren! … I like you!!! Do you dare to marry me!!! … "
There was dead silence in the palace.
Only Princess Anna's voice still echoed in the wind and snow.
Princess Royal opened her mouth in surprise and stayed motionless in place. Her expression seemed to be frightened.
In the wind and snow.
The figure that was gradually moving away suddenly stiffened, and then stopped in place. He could vaguely see that he had turned around, and then slightly bowed, placing his palm on his heart. This was an ancient knight's salute.
Princess Anna's eyes were still dripping with tears. She stood on the wall of the palace, and her petite figure trembled slightly in the cold wind. She shouted with all her strength: "Søren! I'll be sixteen next year!! You must marry me when I'm an adult!! "
Sob.
Princess Anna finally cried out. She pushed away the frightened guards around her, then wiped the corners of her eyes and ran into the palace.
She was the princess of Arendelle.
She would also be the queen of Arendelle in the future!
She didn't really know what love was, let alone love, but there was an impulse in her heart. She felt so uncomfortable in her heart, and some things were even more uncomfortable if she didn't say them out loud.
She was Princess Anna.
She was a princess who dared to take responsibility for her actions. Others may not understand her courage, but she was really brave.
She also had the pride of a princess because she asked Søren if he dared to marry her. This was a very heavy responsibility. She was one of the two pearls of Arendelle, the future queen. She was not an ordinary girl. Marrying her required not only strength, but also great courage!
She was also a traditional girl.
Because what she wanted was not a love relationship. She followed the ancient tradition of Arendelle.
She was very simple.
Because she thought that if she liked someone, she should enter the sacred marriage hall, so she shouted to the person she liked, "Do you dare to marry me?"
She was a brave girl, but in fact, she was also very scared.
She was Anna.
One of the two pearls of Arendelle, the most dazzling princess. She may not be strong, or the most beautiful princess, or even very smart.
But she was her, she was the one and only Princess Anna!
