"Oh, my good sister, King Winter has arrived, are you ready?"

Howard suddenly broke into Jessica's room, which startled the girl who was sitting blankly in front of the mirror.

"I...I don't know..." Jessica shook her head, looking panicked.

"Hey! Look at me, Jessica." Howard pressed Jessica's face with both hands arrogantly, making the girl's eyes meet his sharp gaze: "Tell me, you will do what I say tonight.

, you won’t fall off the chain, right?”

"Yes, it is……"

Jessica was trembling all over.

The moment her brother touched her.

The memory of being beaten will be awakened immediately.

Her mind returned to that small room on the lighthouse.

A drunken Howard punched and kicked her.

It was a nightmare that she would never forget for the rest of her life.

"Very good." Howard nodded with satisfaction.

He stroked Jessica's long silver hair that had been tied up, and said seductively:

"I have already met the King of Winter. Just like the rumors, he is a majestic champion knight. This is the first time I have seen such a mighty man. If you can become his queen, this will be yours.

Blessing."

"Brother...me, can I not get married?"

When she heard that the King of Winter was exactly the same as in the rumors, Jessica felt a chill down her spine.

The tears that had been building up for a long time suddenly burst out.

Helena has taught her a lot of knowledge.

At that time, Helena also specifically speculated on how majestic the Winter King was.

The most famous aristocratic lady in Mayton told her with pity.

Said she might die in the Winter King's bed.

"What nonsense are you talking about, my stupid sister!" Howard stared fiercely at the girl in front of him. He wanted to pull Jessica's hair and slap her again, but today Jessica wanted to see the King of Winter after all, so

He forcibly suppressed his right hand that was about to move, and just threatened viciously:

"There may be some things I haven't told you clearly. My throne is unstable now, do you understand? Of the four Dukes of Mayton, two are eyeing me covetously, and the other two are sitting on the mountain watching the fight. I

Everything I have now may come to naught at any time. Only King Winter can help me... If you fail, my good sister, I will lose the throne. What will you get after that? You will be captured by the Grand Duke’s army.

When you enter the military camp, those soldiers will treat you like a military prostitute and play Gwent with you all night, so wake up!"

He patted Jessica's face gently.

The girl in front of him stared at him blankly.

Her beautiful amethyst eyes were full of despair and fear.

"You must marry him. Only by committing yourself to him can I make a request to the Winter King... For the sake of my throne, I will not show any mercy even if I send you to the Winter King's military camp. As long as the Winter King is willing,

I won’t hesitate to put a bunch of wild dogs in heat in a cage, so now, wipe your tears and do as I say!”

Jessica looked at her half-brother sadly.

There was endless hatred and pain in her heart.

But she didn't have the courage or ability to resist.

So she compromised.

Just as Howard said, she wiped the tears off her face with the back of her hand.

"Your makeup is messed up. Let the servant come in and touch it up for you... Also, keep your head up and your chest up!" Howard gently placed his hand on Jessica's hair.

That was his favorite spot when he beat his sister.

Feeling the big cold hand on her head, Jessica's whole body trembled, her hair stood on end, she quickly raised her head and puffed out her chest.

The maid who heard the shout came in.

They ignored Jessica with tears on her face.

I just took out the makeup box and quickly applied her makeup.

"Yes, it looks much better now. Smile, you must be happy today." Howard pinched Jessica's head, asked her to face the mirror, and gave the order.

Then, Jessica saw a girl in the mirror with her head raised and her chest raised, with a smile on her lips.

That's herself.

…

The closer to the banquet hall.

The noise gets louder.

The aroma of barbecue began to fill the air.

How long has it been since you ate meat?

Jessica didn't know, she swallowed subconsciously. Usually the food brought by the servants was the leftovers of her brothers, and then the food had to be picked again by the servants, and finally it was hers.

There is no meat, but broth is often available.

Turning into a circular corridor, Jessica could already see the scene in the banquet hall through the narrow oval window:

The dancers danced gracefully in the center of the hall; the jugglers made the daughter of a noble family laugh; the servants shuttled among the crowd carrying plates with warm smiles on their faces; a powerful and tall man sat on the throne.

The knight, Merton's ministers surrounded him, their expressions lacked the majesty and elegance of the past, only flattery and flattery, like a group of beggars surrounding a wealthy businessman asking for his leftover breakfast.

That knight is undoubtedly the Winter King. He wears a dragon-horned helmet and silver dragon crystal armor. There is a long sword lying across his knees, with cold light flowing out, and the blade is two palms wide.

He sat proudly on the seat belonging to King Mayton, turned his head and was talking to a pretty little girl, and all the Mayton ministers seemed to have turned into noisy flies.

Jessica couldn't see the face of the Winter King, but this majestic body alone was enough to scare her. In her impression, her brother was already very powerful and tall, but at this time she looked at the people around her.

Brother, when I went to see the King of Winter again, I found that my brother might look like a child standing in front of the King of Winter.

"Master, someone is looking at you~ You seem to be a beautiful human being~"

Kangnai, who was talking to Xiwei, suddenly smiled and muttered something in his ear.

Xiwei followed Kangnai's gaze.

I saw a timid look that quickly retracted as if it was frightened.

The petite figure behind the window suddenly flashed behind the wall.

Jessica behind the palace wall took a deep breath to calm her racing heartbeat.

The amazing glimpse just now was short-lived.

But it also allowed her to see the face of King Winter.

His visor has been lifted up, and under the dragon horns inlaid on the helmet are a pair of blue eyes as blue as the sea of ​​ice.

It's not the same as what those servants described.

The Winter King is not a vicious-looking weirdo. In fact, he is very handsome. His face is like one carefully carved by the best craftsmen. His nose is straight and his eye sockets are deep. Every aspect of his facial features shows the preference of the Creator, even the golden color.

Her broken hair is as dazzling as the warm sun.

Jessica searched her memory, but unfortunately she could not find anyone comparable to the Winter King from the nobles and nobles of Mayton and various heroic stories.
