Just as they had agreed, during the night they began to move, each one went in search of a suitable place to leave the crystal, Katerina goes in the company of Arek, since the path they would take is similar, both walk through a wooded area, but without getting on their respective griffins, Arek carries his, its colors are gray and white, it was also silent, it was good for this type of mission. They both arrive at the place where they must separate.
"Be careful, my lady, I'll see you later."
"You talk as if we were parting for months. I'll see you in a couple of hours, Your Highness." Katerina approaches, leaving a kiss near the corner of the boy's lips.
This made Arek blush a little. Katerina climbs Snow and hurries, they must finish the job before dawn.
Edwin was sitting by the fire, despite the days, he is still bothered by the fact that that girl escaped from him, it was clear that she was seducing him and suddenly, she disappears. Furthermore, the description they have given him of the supposed ice witch is so similar to that young woman, but no, he refuses to believe that it is her, as far as he knows, witches do not exist, he continues to think that it must be a group of magicians sent by Lutzalya.
"Your Highness, you should rest, we must move tomorrow to attack," asks one of the generals.
"Don't stop watching." Edwin stands up and walks away from that place.
Upon entering his tent, it is large, it has a table, sofas and a bed, unlike Arek, who sleeps in a tent equal to that of his soldiers, Edwin does not lose his luxuries, his resting place is almost the size of a luxurious room. Just as he approaches his table, he sees on it a small hair ornament, he had picked it up before, just when that young woman disappeared.
Although it was somewhat complicated, the crystals were left in their places and then, upon returning to the camp, Katerina recited a spell creating a seal under her and the crystals were activated, she is the one who watched as gray clouds formed and the temperature began to drop, just as it also began a heavy snowfall, one that will prevent those from Ketzania from seeing where they are going.
"Definitely, I'm glad to be your brother and not your enemy." Thomas smiles.
"Between brothers you can also be enemies, but don't worry, you can inherit the marquisate, I'm going for something higher."
In her past life she was a successful woman, one who always had what she wanted, even if she had to get obstacles out of the way and in that world, now, it would not be different, no one will prevent her from having the throne and if possible, she should take the world too. Katerina smiles slightly at the thought.
"I'm fine with the marquisate, being emperor or king is complicated." He shrugs.
Katerina doesn't say anything else. Both brothers remain watching. From afar they can see the blizzard that is now invading the border of Ketzania.
The soldiers and generals of Ketzania soon began to feel the temperature drop, one sheet was no longer enough to keep warm. They went out in search of others, when they noticed the blizzard that has begun to fall, something that should not be, because winter was still too far away. Quickly a general went looking for the prince, since Edwin was comfortable in his tent, feeling the temperature drop, he only wrapped himself up more. But he is awakened and when he goes out, he could not believe what he was seeing, dawn was approaching, but the blizzard did not seem to stop.
"What is happening? Why is it snowing?" Edwin asks.
"It's the Ice Witch"
"She's coming for everyone"
"The witch plans to freeze us"
"We have to go"
The soldiers were scared, especially those who had gone to check on what had happened to the troops and saw their companions frozen and others seemed to have been cut by a weapon so sharp that it almost cut them in half. Edwin can see the fear in his soldiers, which is annoying, because they are getting carried away by something so absurd. Although it was a problem to be able to move in that snowfall since they cannot see their way.
Everyone bundled up and Edwin ordered them back to rest, in the morning surely everything will be calm, but it was not like that, the morning came and the slight blizzard continued, in addition to feeling the temperature drop. Again the soldiers began to believe that it was the ice witch who was behind it all.
"Your Highness...something strange has happened...the snowfall, it-it's only here...the enemy camp is fine..."
The man speaking is a scout that Edwin sent out in the morning and could see that the snowfall ends as you cross the border. Given this, Edwin orders everyone to prepare, they will march to the border, they cannot stay in that place and thus it is useful for them to begin to take the territory of Lutzalya. They decide to go on horseback, since the explorer who went on a griffin had complications passing the field due to the snow. With the entire camp raised, they begin their journey.
After a couple of hours, they feel the cold increase, some begin to feel pain in their joints, but they cannot stop, they use their magicians to light torches, trying to help them warm up. Suddenly, ice arrows come out of nowhere and pierce the bodies of five soldiers, the generals order a defensive formation, where they must protect the prince, who also remains on guard.
"The Ice Witch."
"She has come for us."
Everyone seemed more upset, then a figure is seen approaching them, at first it looks like a shadow, but as soon as it clears, they can see that beautiful young blonde, Edwin, upon seeing her, steps forward.
"K-Karina..."
"Katerina Rosesky, Your Highness." Katerina holds the skirt of her dress and curtsies, a perfect one.
"Rosesky? Marquis Rosesky of Lutzalya...but you..."
"I see that even the enemy knows my father's name, what an honor." She smiles wryly.
"How could you have fooled me? You said you were a commoner, I thought..."
"Did you think you would take me to your bed and then throw me away like trash? I'm sorry to spoil your plan, I would have agreed to be with you if it served me, but I have no interest in the throne of Ketzania." She shrugs.
"Your Highness, that woman...it's her...the witch..." yells one of the soldiers.
This is one of the ones that Katerina let escape, she smiles when she sees him.
"I see you arrived safely, too bad this is where it ends." Katerina raises a hand.
From one moment to the next, an ice dagger shoots out at the soldier and pierces his chest, Edwin is surprised and his soldiers step in front of him to protect him.
"I-it can't be...you're the witch..."
"I am...and too bad for you, that I am not on your side."
Katerina lets out a laugh as the blizzard increases and a swirl of snow covers the young woman, by the time it disappears, she is gone.
