Arendelle

The surrounding wind and snow trembled slightly.

Soren gripped his Scimitar warily. Princess Anna seemed to become even more devout, her expression slightly agitated. Tiny, crystalline snowflakes appeared out of thin air, swirling together in the cold wind, transforming into a figure almost identical to Princess Anna, yet possessing a completely different aura. She was more mature than Princess Anna, and her figure was taller and fuller. Even without any expression, she exuded a sense of superiority and condescension.

"Anna!..."

The Princess landed gently in the snow, her clothes remaining perfectly still, which made Soren squint slightly.

"Elder Sister!" Princess Anna stood up abruptly, opening her arms to embrace the Princess. But then she remembered something, slowed her pace, and gently touched the princess's hand. The Princess's fingers turned into snowflakes and danced in the air before quickly returning to their original form.

What!?

A look of shock flashed in Soren's eyes.

What appeared was not the Princess's true form, but Snow and Ice Avatar created by some special power. While Wizard have the Level 7 Spell ' Project Image ' and the Level 8 Spell ' Simulacrum,' none could be as astonishing as the Princess, appearing directly here while her true form remained within Arendelle. This was no longer merely Spell; it might even have permeated some kind of rule. Even the descent of a Avatar of Deity might not have been more impressive!

Is she human or a god?

The Princess's gaze fell on Soren, and as if she had noticed something, she frowned slightly. She gently pointed and said slowly, "Anna, I'll take you back now. It's still very dangerous outside. Prepare to enter the Portal."

A faint, almost imperceptible incantation arose.

A Portal made of ice and snow appeared before the two of them. Soren was completely dumbfounded.

The Princess completely overturned his previous understanding.

It's estimated that even those Avatar who descended to the mortal realm and single-handedly fought against a large group of Legendary could only achieve this level of feat.

Are Fatespinner really that powerful?!

Princess Anna reacted quickly, grabbing Soren's arm and then entering the Portal.

Space began to distort.

It was a rather unpleasant feeling, as moving across space was uncomfortable. Fortunately, it was very brief. After a slight blur, Princess Anna pulled Soren to the top of a magnificent castle. Before them stood another Princess, this time not Avatar, for she possessed the aura of a living person. She slowly opened her eyes, her azure pupils dreamlike and alluring, seemingly capable of captivating the soul. She gently opened her arms and embraced her, saying, "Anna!..."

"Elder Sister!" Princess Anna rushed in.

The Princess embraced the girl before her, turned to look at Soren, and frowned slightly, saying, "Captain of the Guard, escort this guest to rest. I need to speak with my sister for a while."

He commands respect without needing to be angry.

The moment Soren saw the Princess, he was involuntarily jolted. He felt an inexplicable urge to prostrate himself in worship. The Princess simply stood there quietly, looking down upon the world like Queen. Although she had the exact same face as Princess Anna, she was as beautiful as a goddess from a dream, and just one glance was enough to stir one's heart!

Soren bit his tongue slightly, his heart churning with shock. He thought to himself, "Such a high level of charm!? This is definitely over 30 points! It's already starting to affect my mind!"

What an amazing charm.

It somehow gives people the illusion of seeing a born king, which is almost at the level of interfering with matter.

Legend has it that the Succubus Queen of the Abyss can incapacitate anyone who beholds her face; all who do so must undergo a Legendary Tier Charm Spell test. Failure to pass will result in the Succubus Queen's influence on their mind. This unique Deity domain is called [Fascinating Beauty]. The legendary Goddess of Nature Pantheon, the supreme Deity of the past, also possessed this ability, though her Deity domain was called [Natural Beauty]. This, too, is a Legendary Tier test of willpower.

Soren clearly felt that from the moment he saw the other party, his will was forced to undergo an Saving Throw check.

He passed.

But he dared not look at her again, fearing he would have to undergo another test of willpower unless he succumbed to the Princess's charm. She clearly didn't possess any Spell abilities; her mere presence before him had already had such an effect. This reminded Soren of a saying: never look directly at the faces of Deity renowned for their allure, for their beauty will cloud your judgment.

The two most representative Deity are the Succubus Queen and the Goddess of Love.

The two sisters were talking softly.

The Princess slightly moved her fingers, Soren heard nothing. A dignified-looking court lady approached, bowing slightly, and said, "This way, please! Her Majesty the Queen instructed me to treat you well. We have prepared a room for you; you can rest there. Thank you very much for bringing Princess Anna back safely. Tomorrow, Her Majesty the Queen will bestow upon you the reward you deserve."

Soren frowned slightly, then bowed slightly to the Princess and followed the court lady out.

This doesn't seem to be a friendly gesture.

The Princess didn't even bother to say a word to him? Such an attitude is far too cold!

"Huh?"

Princess Anna, who had been rambling on for a while, finally came to her senses. She took the Princess's fair hand and said joyfully, "This time, it's all thanks to Soren! If it weren't for him, I probably would have been captured by those villains! Elder Sister, you must reward him properly!"

"Huh? Where are the Soren?"

A rare, gentle smile appeared on the Princess's lips as she gently stroked Princess Anna's long hair and said softly, "I saw he was very tired, so I had the Captain of the Guard take him to rest. You can tell him what's wrong later. You must be exhausted now, so let me take you back to your room to rest."

Upon hearing this, Princess Anna indeed realized that she was very sleepy.

She had barely had a proper rest these past few days, and now that she was finally back in Arendelle, she felt utterly exhausted and longed to take a shower and get a good night's sleep in her soft bed.

My Elder Sister is right.

I'm really tired right now, and I'm all dirty. I should take a shower and get some sleep first, and then let Soren see what I really look like.

She's a princess, after all!

He always treats me like some country bumpkin! I'm so cute and charming, yet he never even looks at me properly!

Princess Anna's mind wandered for a moment before she followed the Princess into the Palace. The surrounding furnishings were incredibly luxurious: exquisite murals and sculptures, soft plush carpets, and Crystal Lamp hanging overhead. The wealth Arendelle had accumulated over thousands of years made every corner of the Imperial Palace exude the most extravagant opulence. The Princess had someone escort Princess Anna to bathe and change, while she herself went to the Palace's main hall.

The Captain of the Guard who led Soren away is already here.

She bowed slightly. Arendelle did not have the custom of kneeling; in formal occasions, she would only kneel on one knee, and in ordinary times, she would simply bow her head to show respect. The Captain of the Guard quietly walked to the Princess's side and whispered, "He's been put in a side hall. He refused the maids who served him; he seems like a self-controlled Adventurer."

The Princess's expression was somewhat puzzled as she slowly said, "I smelled fear and an aura of misfortune on him."

"This person is not simple."

"He has too much Slaughter on his hands. Have a reward prepared for him tomorrow morning, and then send him away from here."

The Captain of the Guard nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Your Her Majesty the Queen."

The Princess hesitated for a moment, then rubbed her forehead and said, "After all, he's the one who rescued Anna, so the reward can be more generous. Have someone go to the treasure vault and select one or two Legendary Equipment. I'm sure Adventurer like him isn't that concerned about monetary rewards."

The Captain of the Guard paused for a moment, then said, "Yes, Your Her Majesty the Queen."

"Go down."

The Princess waved her hand gently, then walked to the castle balcony, gazing at the snow-covered mountains in the distance, and murmured, "The Deity have begun to appear... The Winter Maiden has actually descended to the mortal realm herself... All the Gods have lost contact, what does this mean...?"

"A mere mortal carries the scent of fear, and the blessing of the Lady of Calamity."

"We absolutely cannot let him get too close to Anna. The Lady of Calamity herself represents misfortune; anyone blessed by her is sure to bring disaster!... His Destiny seems destined for endless bloodshed and Slaughter!..."

"Destiny!... Why is it that the closer we get to Destiny!... the more confusing things become!... Does Destiny even exist in this world?...?"

Or is it that our Destiny is constantly changing?...

The Princess's figure slowly disappeared.

The next moment, she appeared outside a room containing a natural hot spring. Arendelle possessed the world's finest natural hot springs, which were channeled into the Imperial Palace using top-tier Alchemy Craft. Over ten thousand Gold Daler were spent annually to maintain them, ensuring a constant flow of water year-round. Princess Anna's favorite pastime was soaking in the spring and dozing off. Steam filled the room, and one could vaguely see palace maids attending to Princess Anna as she bathed and changed. The young girl's fair, rounded toes touched the water in the tub before she slowly stepped in, letting out a satisfied sigh.

The Princess revealed a faint smile and gently removed her long dress.
