Chapter 608 Ice Demon King(2/2)
"Princess, I want to know the specific location of Winter Hall." Alice said to Princess Sharon who remained silent.
Both of them were wearing masks, and pedestrians were passing by on the roadside. The princess did not answer Alice's question immediately, but took the little wizard's hand and led him to a secluded alley.
The alley was dimly lit and there was no one around. Princess Sharon let go of Alice's hand and asked in a low voice:
"Winter Hall is the lair of the Ice Demon King. Do you know how many people it has under its command?"
Alice shook her head and said in a slightly confused tone: "I don't know."
Her Royal Highness the Princess asked again: "Without knowing the strength of your opponent, are you sure you can defeat the Ice Demon King and all his servants?"
"Whether you're sure or not, you'll know if you try it." Alice said seriously, with a firm look in her eyes, "How will you know if it works if you don't try it?"
Princess Sharon was silent for a while.
Sure enough, a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. If the innocent and simple little lion knew the situation that the Haoxue Kingdom was facing at this time, would it still have the courage to say such ignorant words?
"Before going to Winter Hall, I think you should know some basic knowledge."
Her Royal Highness the Princess sighed, stretched out her two hands and pressed the little wizard's shoulders.
"Now your friend has most likely turned into an ice girl. Save him early, save him later, it's all save... You should listen to what I have to say first, and then go save him. Being aware of it is a hundred times better than blind action.
.”
Alice looked up at the girl wearing the white rabbit mask and nodded,
"What you said makes sense."
Her Highness the Princess breathed a sigh of relief in her heart. The little lion's last shred of reason was still there, and he was not completely carried away by his emotions.
Sharon told what she knew,
"The Kingdom of Haoxue has always been controlled by the Ice Demon King. Every year, the Ice Demon King selects thirteen girls aged thirteen from the kingdom and turns them into ice maidens to stay in the Winter Hall."
Her Royal Highness the Princess's voice fell silent, "If you are unwilling to offer the chosen girl, the entire kingdom will be submerged in endless ice and snow."
Sharon's thoughts seemed to drift to a very far away place,
"In the beginning, the warriors in the kingdom once resisted the Ice Demon King. They took up weapons and fought against the Ice Demon King. The people called them Ice and Snow Warriors."
Having said this, the hands hanging by her sides were slowly clenched, and the princess's voice trembled a little, as if she was restraining some intense emotions:
"All the ice and snow warriors died in that battle and became the guards of the Ice Demon King. More than a dozen villages on the border of the kingdom were also retaliated by the Ice Demon King and were swallowed up by heavy snow. Many people died."
The princess twitched her lips, and there was a hint of ridicule in her voice:
"Since then, the king has decreed that no one who wants to become an ice warrior is allowed to challenge the status of the Ice Demon King."
Her thoughts gradually came back, and Her Royal Highness the Princess looked directly into Alice's eyes behind the mask:
"Faced with the threat of annihilation, the ministers bowed their heads and acquiesced to all the requests made by the Ice Demon King, which also included tributes of gold, silver, jewelry, fine wine and delicacies to the Winter Palace."
Alice's expression was solemn, "In other words, the guy called the Ice Demon King has been oppressing the entire kingdom?"
"Yes, they have been oppressed all the time, that's why I said those ministers are like a group of mice, timid and useless."
Her Royal Highness the Princess nodded, she pressed Alice's shoulder and mustered up the courage in her heart:
"Not long ago, my name appeared in the list selected by the Ice Demon King. I escaped from the palace."
