General Sting inadvertently revealed the king's secret.

Meester looked at her father in astonishment. It turned out that he had always known that he was born with magic, but he had never explained to her how it came about.

escape from lapland

Hakkinen didn't want to take into account the face of his old courtiers who had followed him for many years, and insisted on putting Meester in the dungeon. In order to help his daughter escape, General Prost led his men to fight the guards of the palace. In the chaos, he sent Meester to a horse.

"Go back to Swan Castle, you know what to do."

"I'm leaving, Hakkinen will never let you go." Meester knew that her father let her escape from Lapland through the secret passage of Schwanstein Castle, but how could she leave her only relative in this world and escape by herself.

"I can only escape if you are safe. Don't worry. Your father has been fighting for decades. It is not so easy to be caught." General Prost slapped his horse on the back after speaking, and the chestnut horse was like an arrow that left the string. rushed out.

Meester's swordsmanship is not weak, and she is riding a fierce horse. The guards can't stop her at all. The guards on the city wall who tried to shoot her down with arrows were all dealt with by General Prost. Meester returned safely. Swan Castle, changed the wedding dress and escaped from Lapland through the secret passage.

But General Prost was not so lucky. His manpower could not last long, so he was surrounded by more and more guards and knights. Finally, they caught General Prost who was wounded by arrows, but he thought that at this time he would His daughter should have escaped.

The guards who went to Swan Castle to chase Meester didn't get any results, so they had to bring back the servant of the general's mansion. The servant couldn't stand the torture and revealed the secret way to the outside of the city.

Hakkinen was very angry when he heard this. It turned out that the courtiers who had sworn allegiance to him had always had reservations about him. Fortunately, he had always regarded Meester as his half-daughter, and the person who had been living by his side turned out to be an evil witch. All this made Hakkinen This self-important king couldn't bear it.

He ordered a large number of guards and knights to hunt down Meester, but outside of Lapland, no one knew which direction she would choose, and finding someone was harder than finding a needle in a haystack.

The chaos in the palace continued, but Kimi returned to his bedroom early. He was as surprised as everyone else that Meester could use magic, but he didn't agree with his father's way of handling it. After all, the relationship between General Prost's family and the royal family It's very shallow, and since she was a child, Meester has never used magic to do anything to hurt others.

He even believed that she really wanted to save the maid who had fallen, otherwise she would not use magic in a hurry, and if not, she would not have exposed herself. Although she didn't love this girl, Kimi knew that she was kind in nature.

"I want to have a glass of wine, the strongest kind." He fell into the recliner exhausted, the current situation is beyond his control, he hates this feeling of powerlessness.

Sebastian came over with the bottle and poured two glasses, and took a few sips himself.

"Surely you wouldn't have thought that Meester would be a witch, would you?" Kimi said with a wry smile as it was rare to see the valet drinking.

"I didn't expect it at all." What made Sebastian even more unexpected was that Bernie knew about it a long time ago, but kept it from him. If he had known earlier, it wouldn't have brought Meester into the situation he is in today.

Kimi squeezed the empty wine glass in her hand, "She doesn't look like that at all, she is so sunny, beautiful, and positive, who would have thought that she could do magic." In his opinion, magic is equal to darkness, depravity and evil.

"So what do you think a magical person looks like?" Sebastian asked tentatively.

"It should be like Fernando after he was possessed by Senna." Kimi thought for a while, and in his mind, Fernando was wearing a black feather cloak, with a pale face and two huge dark circles under his eyes.In fact, he didn't know much about magic, and he classified them as evil because of his father's influence.

"Senna practices black magic, that's why it's like that." Sebastian explained, "Ordinary magicians are no different from normal people, but they are actually normal people."

"How do you know so well?" He said it with such certainty that even Kimi couldn't help but wonder.

"It was… Bernie told me." Sebastian wasn't completely lying, he had heard all about Senna's history from Bernie.

The guards searched outside the city for more than a week but still found nothing. It seems that Meester has fled away.

Hakkinen was very dissatisfied with this result, and Prost could not ask any useful information, and the royal wedding he valued has become a scandal in the streets and lanes. Although the ministers in the court dare not say anything, he can see It turns out that they, like those ordinary people in the market, talk about it when they can't see it.

To show that magic has no place in Lapland, and that anyone who harbors magic is severely punished, Hakkinen ordered Prost to be executed three days later.

Unexpectedly, there were still people who stood up to intercede for Prost, but he refuted them all.

During dinner, Kimi also mentioned whether Prost should be executed or not.

"Father, don't you plan to think about it again? After all, he is a minister who has made contributions to Lapland. If you insist on killing him, I am afraid it will have a negative impact on other ministers."

"The most damning thing about him is that he concealed the fact that his daughter is a witch. His death can serve as a warning to others. A wizard is a capital crime." Hakkinen's hatred of magic was beyond the comprehension of ordinary people.

"You can put him in prison for the rest of his life, which is tantamount to killing him. After all, their family has contributed to Lapland, and their friendship with us has always been good." Kimi hoped that his father could recall the past His friendship spared Prost's life.

"Then he deserves to die even more. Let's not pursue his crime of deceiving the king, and the lies between friends are even more unforgivable." Hakkinen made up his mind.

Kimi doesn't understand why he hates magic so much, "That's because your laws are too harsh on magic, and if he says it, it's tantamount to harming Meester. You are lying."

"Enough." Hakkinen threw the knife and fork on the plate. "What do you know, magic only corrupts your soul, and makes good people fall into darkness. It is useless."

This time Kimi disagreed with his statement, "But as you can see, Meester is not such a person at all. She has always been healthy, kind, and positive. Otherwise, you wouldn't insist on choosing her as the princess, wouldn't you? Will it be wrong?"

"That's because she used magic to blind us, and you saw her use magic to kill an innocent person the other day." Hakkinen would not admit that he was wrong.

"But I clearly saw that she used magic to save the maid. If she just wanted to stop her from telling the truth, it would be easier to let her fall. How could she be so stupid to use magic to expose herself in front of everyone?" Kimi only believed The facts he saw for himself.

"It seems that you have been harmed by her magic. If you don't want to continue to be locked up, you'd better not mention this in front of me." Hakkinen said angrily and left the table.

Kimi couldn't figure out how he hated magic so much, and Prost had mentioned on the day of the wedding that Hakkinen had a personal vendetta against magic, but he couldn't figure out what it was, and he hadn't mentioned it all these years.

Bernie has been with Hakkinen for more than 30 years, maybe he will know the inside story, Kimi sent Sebastian to ask Bernie for information, Sebastian originally wanted to refuse, because he concealed the fact that Meester could use magic, and he was still fighting with Bernie, but this Is the key to the life and death of General Prost, he still bite the bullet and ask Bernie.

Bernie did know the inside story. He told Sebastian that Hakkinen's queen, the mother of Kimi and Heikki, died because of magic. Kimi had no memory of it when she was young, and Hakkinen never had it again No one dared to mention this matter in front of him.

It's about Kimi's mother, and it's useless to save General Prost. Sebastian decided to hide the truth. He told Crown Prince Bernie that he hadn't been in Lapland for a while, so he didn't understand why the king hated magic. Kimi was very disappointed after hearing that, maybe they There is no longer any breakthrough to save General Prost.

Three days later, General Prost was publicly beheaded in the square.

After the execution of General Prost, the palace did not settle down. In order to prevent a repeat of the Meester incident, Hakkinen invited a witch hunter from Helsinki, who will be sent to the palace a week later.
