Thoughts

The sun was setting, and the last ray of sunlight poured into the room through the window. Denise felt a little tired, and helping Pavel with daily government affairs had unknowingly become one of her jobs.

When the young king Pavel came to the throne, he was once full of confidence and eager to make achievements. Now, he has long been beaten down by the day-to-day trivial matters, and he is no longer so confident and interested in government affairs. Dennis helped his husband slowly take over those affairs.

Small daily things. In fact, Dennis didn't know much about these things. Many times, she had to humbly ask the ministers for their opinions, and then make a decision after considering her own thoughts.

There are many problems in Kislev, which is full of things to do. Sometimes Dennis has to work until late at night. As time goes by, even the time to practice magic is squeezed. Dennis can’t even remember the last time she went to the magic academy.

It's a matter of time. Fortunately, Caroline, her "stepmother", is here to help her manage the magic academy.

"Emma, ​​get me a cup of coffee."

Finally, after finishing the last thing, Dennis called her maid. This was her rare leisure time, overlooking the entire city under the afterglow of the setting sun. The city of Kislev just after the spring snow was so pure. It seemed white.

The flawless girl lay quietly on the vast wilderness. The imperfection was that it was still very poor. The civil war wiped out Kislev's savings. Both the Ice Queen and her father Rhodes,

They all suffered huge losses in the war. The lives of civilians were even more precarious.

All Dennis' troubles come from this. No, there should be more than one. There is another person...

She didn't want to admit it, but the throbbing deep in her heart still lingered. Whenever she finished her work, she would always think of that person, his face, his smile, his actions, and his personality.

, always lingering in Dennis's mind. Yes, Boris, Dennis knows that he likes him. However, such a secret love will have no result...

No...I am the queen...I am Pavel's woman...

Dennis always said this to himself.

She took a sip of coffee, her eyes infinitely melancholy. The beautiful sunset instantly turned pale in her eyes. It seemed that only when Boris was around, the world was colorful.

Does he like me too?

Dennis didn't know... The more she forced herself not to think about it, the more she remembered... She wanted to know what that man was thinking, even if it was meaningless. But, she just wanted to know...

Dennis finally understood why men like to drink. Drinking can make people drunk, even for one night. At least, after being drunk, you can fall asleep and temporarily forget the troubles and pain.

well……

She sighed deeply. Dennis knew that she was good at handling government affairs and complex interpersonal relationships inside and outside the palace. But only emotionally...she was at a loss. Yes, emotionally, she was still a

A newbie. He spent his teenage years in the cold Kislev Magic Academy and never met anyone of the opposite sex except Pavel. After the civil war, he married Pavel directly, who had always been kind to him. So much so that he had no idea about feelings.

have no idea.

Denise had always thought that as long as a man was good to her, it was love. Just like Pavel. However, until she met Boris. He was not a perfect man, but he was very charming. The first time she saw

He fell in love with him. But she was already the queen... she had no choice...

Is there really no choice? Maybe you can choose?

A strange voice sounded in my heart...

Dennis wanted to suppress this voice, but it was like a sprout emerging from the ground, whispering in her ear, making her heart itch. Dennis felt upset. She drank the coffee quickly, and suddenly, an idea came to her mind

middle.

Birthday... Yes, my birthday is coming soon. This seems to be a good excuse to hold a dinner party. Invite the nobles and lords to attend. And Boris will definitely come. That way, I can see you again.

It's his turn.

No...you can't do this...

Why not?

No matter, I want to see him...see him...

After the inner struggle, Dennis finally gave in. I have to admit that I am not a good woman, and I really want to see him again...

Dennis said to himself.

Finally, she made up her mind to hold a dinner party.

…

In the city of Kislev, under the flower vines, Vladimir frowned while holding the invitation letter from the palace.

"Queen Denis is hosting a birthday dinner, which has never happened before."

Vladimir muttered to himself. After speaking, he turned around and asked about his son——

"Boris, are you going?"

This news made Boris a little ecstatic. The moment he heard that the queen held a birthday dinner, his heart skipped a beat, but his strong sense told him not to do this. Denis is the queen! The queen! Boris kept reminding himself.

However, he really wanted to see Dennis...

Facing his father's question, Boris nodded pretending to be nothing, but he was ecstatic in his heart. He could finally see Dennis again. It had been more than a month since the last meeting... He missed her, really missed her.

…

He remembered her face, her body, her smile, her voice... everything lingered in Boris's mind like a spell. And he could finally see her again.

Dinner party...what should I wear?

No, what kind of service should Dennis like? She does not seem to be a person who pursues luxury, which can be seen from the clothes she wears. Boris remembered that the last time he saw Dennis, she was wearing very ordinary clothes and did not wear a hood.

Wearing gold and silver, there are no luxurious jewelry, and there is no exaggerated makeup on the face...

She shouldn’t like people who are too pretentious, right? Boris speculated.

So, let me be who I am originally. But that doesn't seem to work. I originally didn't like to attend such banquets. It's because of Dennis...

Boris felt upset. Even in the previous battle with the orcs, he had never been so nervous and uneasy, but this time, he was nervous because of a small birthday dinner...

…

The gate of the palace was open at night, and the nobles from Kislev stopped their carriages in front of Bandaga Palace. Everyone was invited to the queen's birthday dinner, but no one knew what the queen was thinking.

What are you doing again? They know that being invited by the Queen is not that simple.

Among the crowd, Boris's steps seemed a bit rigid. He was as majestic as usual, but his heart was jumping wildly. Warm light bloomed from behind the door of the banquet hall, reflecting on the steps in front.

Boris walked towards the hall at a not so steady pace. At first glance, he saw Queen Denis sitting next to the Tsar...
