Chapter 305 Meeting the King of the Snow Country
The palace is heavily guarded, and not everyone can enter simply by claiming to be a princess or prince from some country.
Nasha had the foresight to obtain a letter from Princess Dalia to the King of the Snow Kingdom, as well as a badge representing her identity, and was introduced to the captain of the guards.
After waiting outside for more than half an hour, the heavy city gate slowly opened, and a gorgeous carriage drove out and stopped in front of Shu Li and others.
The carriage door opened and a servant came down and respectfully invited them to get in.
Nasha nodded slightly, went up first, and the others followed into the carriage.
The carriage is spacious, with a magic circle painted on the inner wall and a fire magic stone inlaid in the center of the circle. The whole carriage emits warmth, which is a stark contrast to the icy cold outside.
As expected of the royal family, they would never compromise themselves, even the carriages they use for travel are so luxurious.
The carriage was warm and it was too hot to wear fur coats, so the five people took off their coats and put them into storage bags, revealing their gorgeous magic robes.
When the servant saw the magic robes on their bodies and the magic badges on their chests, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.
I didn't expect that they were all magicians.
The attendant's gaze finally fell on Nasha.
Just now she was wearing a hat and a plush scarf, so her appearance could not be seen clearly. After taking them off, her whole face was exposed, which immediately reminded the servant of Prince Leon.
There is no doubt that Prince Leon is very handsome, with unique pure black hair and purple eyes. As soon as the king saw him, he knew that he was Princess Anrina's child.
Princess Anrina lived in the Snow Kingdom palace for twenty years before marrying into the kingdom of Pedam, where she was greatly favored. His Majesty, deeply moved by Prince Leon's affection for her, confirmed his identity and that same day declared him the Third Prince of the Snow Kingdom.
Today, a girl who claimed to be the princess of Pedam came to the palace of the Snow Kingdom with a token from Queen Dalia and asked to see Prince Leon.
The captain of the guards gave the token to his majesty, who, after reading it, immediately sent him to fetch the girl and her companions.
The servant had originally been somewhat skeptical about the girl's identity, but now that he saw her features that resembled Prince Leon's, and her violet eyes that came from the bloodline of the Snow Country, he no longer had any doubts.
Nasha knew that the servant was looking at her, so she sat upright and let him look at her generously.
The servant was in his thirties, with a kind face, a calm temperament, and was well-dressed. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary servant.
"Please allow me to introduce myself." The attendant placed his hand on his chest and saluted Nasha. "I am Milo Upton, the King's attendant. Your Highness, you can just call me Milo."
Nasha nodded and said, "Hello, Milo, thank you for your hospitality."
Milo said, "It is my honor to serve the princess."
Nasha smiled, showing the temperament and demeanor of a princess.
After entering the palace of the Snow Kingdom, she was no longer an ordinary magic student, but the princess of Pedam.
Even if the kingdom of Pedam is destroyed, she will still maintain her dignity as a princess.
This was her realization in King Dalia's palace.
There are many servants in the palace who change their attitudes according to the situation. If you can't control them, you will be in trouble everywhere.
Sure enough, after witnessing Nasha's princess demeanor, Milo became more respectful to her.
Shu Li sat quietly, observing thoughtfully.
Nasha came to see Leon. Why didn't Leon come out to see his sister in person, but instead the king sent servants to pick them up and take them to the palace?
Doesn't he miss his sister?
Or... the king didn't tell him and he was still kept in the dark.
While the attendant seemed amiable, he was actually tight-lipped and did not mention Prince Leon at all.
However, Nasha kept her composure and did not ask proactively.
The windows of the carriage are made of transparent glass, so you can clearly see the scenery outside. As you go deeper into the palace, the surrounding scenery gradually changes.
There was a vast expanse of white snow just now, but after driving for more than ten minutes, the ice and snow disappeared, replaced by red and green.
Seeing the guests' surprise, Milo introduced them considerately.
The palace was built on the top of a mountain. It was freezing cold and the temperature was extremely high. In order to create an environment suitable for human habitation, our ancestors ten thousand years ago invited several great gods of magic to set up a huge, top-level magic circle to keep out the cold.
With the protection of the magic circle, the entire palace is like spring all year round with pleasant temperatures. It is the only holy place in the entire Snow Kingdom.
Siti was shocked and couldn't help asking, "The magic circle has been running for ten thousand years, won't it break down?"
Milo smiled and said, "As long as it's supported by the energy stone, it won't break."
He briefly introduced the origin of the energy stone.
This is a magical stone produced in the Snow Mountain Labyrinth, called Kyanite. It contains pure magical energy and has one to five qualities.
The magic circle needs to consume three fifth-level blue crystals every month.
The fifth-level blue crystal is extremely difficult to obtain below the sixth level of the maze.
If there is no fifth level, the third, fourth and fifth levels can be used as substitutes, but the consumption amount will be doubled.
Therefore, the palace has been issuing missions to foreign adventurers to collect blue topaz for many years.
After Shu Li and others learned about the situation, they were secretly shocked.
No wonder the Snow Mountain Maze is generously open to outsiders, it turns out it is for kyanite.
The carriage drove for fifteen minutes and arrived at the royal palace.
Everyone got off the car and followed Milo into the magnificent palace.
It must be said that the palace of the Snow Kingdom is quite magnificent, even more magnificent than the palace of the Dalia Kingdom.
As a princess of a great oriental country, Siti was also impressed by the exquisite and expensive decorations in the palace.
Seleu looked around in silence.
Cecilia is also an ancient country with a history of thousands of years, but its palace is full of traces of time, unlike the palace in front of us, which is magnificent.
Compared to the shock of the three of them, Shu Li and Ace were much calmer. They glanced casually and then looked away.
No matter how ingenious the human palaces are, they cannot compare to the magnificence of the elves' castles.
That is the real Crystal City, comparable to the temple of the gods.
Fairies and elves were used to living in fairy-like castles, so they were not surprised to see the palace in front of them.
The two of them looked so calm that Milo looked at them a few more times in confusion.
After passing through several doors and walking down several corridors, the group finally arrived at the hall where the king approached foreign guests.
As she was about to meet the King of the Snow Kingdom, Nasha clasped her hands involuntarily and walked in step by step on the clean carpet.
The current king is Nasha's uncle.
Although she had never met him, she had heard her mother mention him when she was a child.
My uncle is the older brother of my mother and aunt. He is much older than them and became king at a very early age. He should be almost sixty years old now.
With a nervous mood, Nasha walked towards the throne, looked up, and saw the king on the throne.
Unlike what one might imagine, the king was not old. He looked like a middle-aged man in his forties, younger than his actual age. He had curly black hair, lavender eyes, fine wrinkles on his forehead and corners of his eyes, and he was dressed in gorgeous clothes, wearing gold and silver. The gem on his crown was as big as a goose egg.
When he saw Nasha, he stood up from the throne with joy, tears glistening in his purple eyes. He had none of the majesty of a king, but was as excited as a real uncle seeing his niece.
Nasha looked at his face which was somewhat similar to her mother's, and her nose felt sore unconsciously.
"Is your name Nasha?" the king asked gently.
Nasha saluted him restrainedly. "Yes, Your Majesty, I am Nasha Kailan, and it is a pleasure to meet you."
The king reached out his hand to help her up and said kindly, "I have read Helati's letter. She has taken good care of you."
Nasha nodded: "Yes, my aunt takes good care of me."
The king sighed and said, "In fact, I received a letter from Helati seven years ago and knew that you were with her."
Nasha was slightly surprised.
Seven years ago... that was when my aunt sent Sen Luo to escort the Sword of Boshug to the Snow Kingdom.
It turned out that my uncle already knew of her existence at that time.
So, what about your brother?
Did he know that she was in Dalia? Why had he never contacted her?
Although she was anxious to know news about her brother, Nasha remained polite and introduced her companions one by one.
"They are my most important friends," Nasha said sincerely. "With their company, I was able to reach the Snow Country safely."
Shu Li and others greeted the king at the appropriate time.
The king said gently, "Thank you for your help in reuniting Nasha with me."
Shu Li said politely, "As friends, this is what we should do."
After the pleasantries, we finally got to the point.
Nasha couldn't wait to ask: "Your Majesty, can I see my brother?"
She had been in the palace for almost half an hour, and her brother hadn't made a move. Normally, shouldn't he have shown up the moment he learned his sister was coming?
"Leon..." The king sighed, his face troubled. "Three days ago, he went to the Snow Mountain Labyrinth."
"What?" Nasha was shocked. "You mean, my brother went to the Snow Mountain Maze?"
For no reason, why would the prince's brother go to the dangerous snow mountain maze?
Shu Li and others were also confused when they heard this.
The king frowned, his face troubled. He looked into Nasha's worried eyes and sighed, "Half a month ago, I was diagnosed with a terminal illness. The doctor diagnosed that I could only live for a year at most. Therefore, I had to choose an heir from among the three princes in advance. Although Leon is my nephew, he also has the blood of the Snow Kingdom and has the right of inheritance. To become the heir to the throne of the Snow Kingdom, you must go to the Snow Mountain Labyrinth and retrieve the Heart of the Liuxin Beast."
Nasha covered her mouth in disbelief, looking at her uncle with moist eyes, who had a calm face.
“How could it be…”
The amount of information in the king's words was too much for her to digest at once.
My uncle... has a terminal illness and can only live for another year?
The elder brother wants to become the heir to the throne of the Snow Kingdom, so he must go to the Snow Mountain Maze and retrieve the heart of a monster.
It goes without saying that the Liuxin beast must be a high-level magical beast.
Shu Li and the others looked at each other in disbelief.
The king looked in good health and didn't look like a patient at all, but he only had one year left to live.
Seeing Nasha's tears welling up, the king patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Don't be sad for me, everything is God's will."
"Your Majesty..." Nasha wiped away the tears that were falling.
"Call me uncle!" said the king. "Go and meet your aunt and cousin. I'm sure they will be happy to see you."
"——Yes, uncle." Nasha followed suit and turned her head to look at Shu Li and others.
The king saw her concern and said, "Take them with you. Your cousin likes people of her own age."
"Thank you, uncle." Nasha saluted.
Five minutes later, Nasha met the First Princess and her cousin.
"Father!"
The beautiful woman with a charming figure lit up her eyes when she saw the king bringing in a group of handsome men and beautiful women.
"Is she my cousin, Princess Nasha?"
Nasha felt a little creeped out by her gaze.
"Wow, she's Leon's sister, they look just like her!" The gorgeous woman walked up to Nasha with her skirt lifted up, curled the corners of her mouth, reached out and pinched her cheek, shocking Nasha so much that her eyes widened.
