The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 272

[Chapter 270 Information from the nightmare]

“…You want to play with Kaphne?”

Dmitri repeated slowly, staring at Annan.

His brows furrowed even tighter.

He subconsciously pressed the second knuckle of the index finger and middle finger of his right hand to his chin, quietly thinking about something.

But in the pupils that were always indifferent and calm, there was still no color of emotion.

Even if Annan only has shoulder-length short hair, it is easy to be mistaken for a maiden with awe-inspiring temperament; but Dmitri’s long hair reaching to the waist will never be mistaken for a woman.

It’s not just because of his deep voice.

What’s more, it is the heavy “bearer” temperament on him.

“…Yes.”

Annan pursed his lips and replied in a low voice.

For some reason, the Dmitri in front of him actually overlapped with Annan’s memory of Ivan Lindong, who trained Annan’s frost swordsmanship.

…is it because the eldest brother is like a father?

Being stared at by Dmitri’s majestic eyes – even Annan himself, at that moment, felt that this fake fear would be impossible to invite…

But even so.

After a few seconds, Dmitry replied calmly: “Yes.” For some

reason, he still easily agreed to Annan’s request.

Immediately, Dmitri turned to Princess Elizabeth, who was beside him, and said politely and slowly: “My brother has caused you trouble.”

“Where…Little Kaphne is usually a relatively withdrawn child, and it is rare to meet her. A friend, and I am very happy for her.”

Princess Elizabeth smiled.

Her face seemed to be shining, and she couldn’t tell her specific age.

But in her slightly squinted eyes, there was a sly light that was not annoying.

She said to Annan with a smile: “You have a good brother,

Your Highness Annan.”

“…Thank you, Your Highness.”

Annan’s reaction was a little awkward, and he bowed to Princess Elizabeth in a very light and polite manner. the sound of.

The momentum in his voice was a little weak, but it was as clear as a flame in the cold wind.

But looking at his appearance, Dmitry suddenly opened his mouth and said without end: “Annan, remember why you came here.”

… I, why did I come?

This made Annan a little confused.

But fortunately, he quickly reacted:

at this time, Dmitry had actually lost his fertility.

In other words, the reason why Annan and not Maria followed Dmitri to Noah was probably because Annan was the one who came as the “heir to the duchy” —that is to

say, not “” Annan followed Dmitri”, but “Dmitri followed Annan”.

Just because Annan is too young.

That’s why Dmitry was asked to assist Annan…a series of negotiations.

So, what would be the primary purpose of Annan’s coming here?

– The answer is about to come out.

He’s here to get acquainted.

Or… Annan is here to build confidence.

As the eldest brother, Dmitry acted strong and appropriate, which is probably the main reason for Annan’s weaker character.

So even though Annan made such a somewhat outrageous request, Dmitry decided not to oppose Annan.

Because what he has to do is to build confidence in Annan – not destroy his confidence.

The brain was running fast, and Annan finished thinking in the blink of an eye.

His tender and delicate face soon showed a firm look: “Of course I remember, my lord.

“Thank you for your tolerance, Your Highness Princess.

There was still a slight trembling in

Annan’s voice. But his voice became louder and clearer – just like Annan’s voice outside a nightmare.

At this time, Annan was very Clearly aware of Dmitri’s frowning frown, he also relaxed a little.

… This means happiness? In

other words, the bet was right.

Annan breathed a sigh of relief.

Dmitry There was still no expression on his face, but he said plainly: “Remember to come back before dinner.

”

You can also ask your new friend to show you around.”

Princess Elizabeth added. She

did

n’t know if she noticed something – this woman, who was famous for her iron and blood in the army, softened after changing into a dress.

She gave Annan a gentle smile and gently pulled her back.

Annan’s hand: “Few people are willing to play with Kaphne, but I know she’s a good boy… accompany her, okay?

”

…You want to get married?

Annan, who has the wisdom of an adult, immediately noticed Elizabeth’s intentions.

This woman is very smart. She did not “allow” Annan to associate with Kaphne, but “begged” him Take care of Kaphne more – this is undoubtedly a clever gesture.

Why? Did

she realize that she was the heir to the duchy?

No, it’s not possible.

Dmitri’s loss of fertility is a secret at this time – otherwise, she should have been more obvious to herself.

And if she realized it, it would be impossible for Kaphne and Annan to stay together immediately.

After all, Kafney’s father is the fourth prince, and if the “future Grand Duke of Winter” can become the husband of his only daughter, then Annan will become his powerful political bargaining chip.

If Elizabeth realizes that Annan is the future Grand Duke… then she will only allow Albert’s power to expand after she has formed a de facto alliance with Albert.

-Because she is a smart person.

So there is only one possibility.

The political situation at Noah’s high level has become so tense that it needs to be relieved by marriage?

An “outsider” is needed to disrupt the situation and reshuffle the forces of all parties…

Princess Elizabeth, who was unsuspecting of Annan, inadvertently revealed a lot of political information to Annan.

Annan, however, was not out of the ordinary.

He just replied softly: “Okay, Your Royal Highness.”

Annan’s voice became stable… There was a faint shadow of Maria.

This made Dmitri slightly satisfied.

Annan and the two then retired.

Kaphne took Annan to her boudoir.

She didn’t ask Annan how he got the promise of two “heirs to the nation” who would go to the next year.

It seemed to her that all this was taken for granted.

Maybe it’s also because Kaphne doesn’t care about that.

“…This is the secret passage.”

Kafney took Annan’s hand and walked to her wardrobe: “After going out, you can go directly to the corner of the garden. I often sneak out from here…”

Her voice was light and her face was a little red.

There is a marked difference from Kaphne who can hold Annan’s hand calmly after meeting for the first time a few years later – Kaphne is still shy today.

She seems to be very concerned about the somewhat intimate relationship between the two now.

Annan was a little powerless to complain.

…Hey, UU reading www.

sonicmtl.com You are only nine years old.

Although I know that girls may mature a little earlier… But you know so much at such a young age, is it really okay?

“What are you going to do?”

Annan opened the plywood at the back of the closet and asked Kaphne in a low voice, “Without my voice, they might have realized that something was wrong.”

Kaphne replied without hesitation: ” I’ll draw you a picture.”

“…But I’m not here.”

“You were here.”

Kaphne replied softly, “I can remember.” In

her inhuman red eyes , as if reflecting another world that Annan could not understand.

She replied in a low voice, “I can see… your afterimage.”
