The Righteous Player(s) - Chapter 786

[Chapter 312 Dmitry and Maria (2 in 1)]

“Player Super Justice()”

Dmitri stood in front of the Grand Duke’s mansion and took a deep breath.

Pale white breath scattered in the air…

He didn’t even think…

Less than a week after he left Shuangyu Province, his father had already become a dragon.

It can even be said that something happened to Archduke Ivan as soon as his forefoot left Frostwhisper Province.

He didn’t get to see his father as a human for the last time, and he didn’t get to participate in Annan’s enthronement ceremony.

Emotionally, he really wanted to go back, drive out all the visiting ministers, and get Annan drunk… but his rationality told him that it didn’t make any sense.

This will only cause more trouble.

He was once the eldest son of the ruler of a country, and now he is the elder brother of the new Grand Duke.

In Dmitry’s capacity, any unusual behavior of his will lead to over-interpretation by others.

All he can do now is to try his best to maintain the stability of all parties in Winter and maintain Annan’s rule… After all, this is the path they have determined eight years ago.

Even Dmitri thought about it, maybe it wasn’t that Ivan turned into a dragon as soon as he left… but because Ivan knew that he was going to become a dragon, he deliberately took him away.

—It has nothing to do with Dmitry’s own wishes.

Most people don’t know that Dmitri has lost his fertility.

If Dmitri and Annan were in Frostpeak at the same time when Grand Duke Ivan became a dragon, then as Dmitri, who had the same claim, was older, and had been in government affairs for a long time, even if he did not seize the power of the Grand Duke himself The will of the nobles will also spontaneously form the “Dmitri faction”.

In this way, when Annan succeeds to the throne, he will encounter some trivial troubles at the political level.

Although in his personal capacity, this trouble did not actually hinder him.

Although the core power of the Duchy of Winter is in the hands of the “Ten Fingers”… However, even this trivial trouble is still excluded by Grand Duke Ivan.

He is such a conservative and stable ruler, as solemn and steady as the endless glacier in the north of the winter.

Because of this, he was able to maintain the stability of the Principality of Winter in the winter.

“Come on, Dmitry.”

A cold voice sounded behind him.

The little girl in white robe said: “Don’t stand foolishly at the door, you are blocking my way.”

That was his own sister, Maria.

You can tell just from the tone of voice, this is indeed a kiss…

“I was just thinking about my father.”

Dmitry whispered.

He subconsciously wanted to touch the cigar in his chest, but Maria pushed him gently behind him.

So he coughed lightly and put his hand back into his trouser pocket without a trace.

He was still wearing that dark gray frost beast fur coat, and he still looked like he didn’t dress properly—the cuffs were not worn in, and it was floating behind him like a long cloak.

His shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, his hands were tucked into his trouser pockets, and his exposed forearm had a fairly visible, bulging blue vein.

If Ivan sees his dress, he will definitely teach him a lesson.

He will be asked to put on his clothes properly, and then roll down his sleeves.

“—What, are you trying to hit someone?” He admonished him like this.

If you smell smoke or alcohol on your body, you will be scolded again.

“Father isn’t dead.”

Maria said coldly: “He turned into a dragon, guarding us and guarding winter from another world.”

“Ah, I know that too.”

Dmitri murmured, “It’s like the old saying, ‘Winter people don’t have funerals’.”

“‘When a man dies, he is buried in the earth, and there is no sorrow.’ Father said it.”

Maria followed behind him and answered in a low voice.

– This is a tradition unique to Winter.

Because the natural environment in winter is harsh and resources are scarce.

Folks often do not have the habit of holding complicated etiquette extravagantly.

They have no feasts to celebrate births, and no feasts to honor the dead.

Newborns are often not sure they will survive,

So they can’t even get their own name.

They generally don’t get their official names until they can eat by themselves and run around alive and well.

And the dead are the same… The Winters don’t miss the dead much.

This is not because of their lack of affection, but because there are too many people dying, too fast… and too urgent.

If there is no escape from grief for a long time, then grief will follow one after another until the person is completely buried.

Generally speaking, when someone dies, they find a sunny day and bury the body quietly under a tree.

If you are a little more particular, you will also set up a monument, and wait until next spring to send a bunch of flowers to indicate that everything is fine… At least you have the time and mood to send a bunch of flowers.

They must be strong – even in a declining town with a population of less than four figures and walking on empty streets, they must be able to live their lives in peace and stability.

——Or, leave the Duchy of Winter.

In the Principality of Winter, the most serious etiquette is a wedding.

Because in such a difficult living environment, it is always easier for two people to survive than one person… Only in a wedding, the old grandmother’s priest must be invited as a witness.

Besides, the Principality of Winter doesn’t even celebrate New Years.

Because every New Year is January.

In December, after the heavy snowfall of the previous month… In January of the following year, after the month of the burial mother-in-law, it is often the day when the most dead people are in the winter.

Many elderly people can’t stand the cold winter and die because of various diseases.

For the Principality of Winter, the New Year is not a special day to celebrate.

Compared with the New Year, the birthday of the contemporary Grand Duke may be more commemorative.

After Dmitry and Maria entered the room, they saw that there was no one in the living room and went straight to the second floor – it was originally the room that belonged to Grand Duke Ivan, and now it has become Annan’s room.

The moment he entered the room, Dmitry was slightly dazed.

Because the decoration of the room has changed a little… The two paintings hanging on the head of the double bed are gone.

Instead, a portrait of Ivan was hung at the end of the bed.

There is still no jewelry decoration in the room, but several paintings by Zhi Ji are still hanging in the same place.

There are still documents on the desk, in addition to several occult books.

In Dmitri’s eyes, the young and tender young brother who needs to be cared for in the past is wearing a strange asymmetrical dress, revealing a left shoulder with a strange curse pattern, and his right hand is holding the three symbols of the authority of the Duchy of Winter. A scepter of color, standing in front of the window, watching the people coming and going outside the Grand Duke’s Mansion.

The moment Annan heard the sound of the door opening, he turned around.

The fifteen-year-old boy overlapped with his father, Ivan Lindong.

“Annan… Your Majesty.”

The moment Dmitri spoke, he paused—because when he blurted out, he realized that he didn’t know whether to call him Annan, his Majesty Annan, Grand Duke Annan, or his Majesty directly. Suitable.

But Maria, without any hesitation.

“—Annan!”

She took off her hood and called without hesitation.

A simple and calm smile appeared on that delicate face.

Even if you don’t feel positive emotions, the anxiety, worry, and burning thoughts in your heart are not false.

At the moment when these negative emotions disappear, the mind that returns to the balance point will still be born with the purest tranquility.

“Dmitri, and… my sister.”

Annan nodded to Dmitry, then looked at Maria: “Well… long time no see.”

His voice hesitated for a moment.

It was only for a moment, but he believed that Maria might have heard it.

Because in fact… this was the first time Annan saw Maria this week.

True—that is indeed a face similar to An Nanjiwei.

But compared to Annan, whose smile clearly gave off a warm feeling, even the smiling Maria looked a lot more indifferent… Just like a still young queen, there was no emotion in her ice-blue pupils.

Compared with Annan, Maria’s inhuman attributes are obviously deeper.

Annan has only invisible dragon scales on his body, and already has that pale white hair.

And Maria’s hair was as cold as ice.

Her silky waist-length hair was now shorter than Annan’s—it was silver-white with slightly bluish ends.

Unlike Annan’s broken long hair, the parts near the end are of different lengths caused by natural production, and thus show a sense of hierarchy.

There were silver-white dragon horns on both sides of her head, and obvious dragon scales appeared on her slender and slender neck, wrists, ankles, etc.

Her top was a warm, fluffy sweater that covered half of her thighs, and her bottoms were flat boots and thick black stockings that went above the knees.

The creamy white loose windbreaker with a hood on the outside will always cover the calf.

You can’t even see a man or a woman from the outside… This is also Maria’s way of concealing her identity.

This is a fairly everyday look, and when you meet for the first time, it gives a very warm and friendly impression.

Annan only needed a glance to know why Maria was dressed like this.

“I know, you don’t have a memory that belongs to me now…”

Maria tried her best to remain calm, as if she was worried about scaring Annan, and said in the lowest voice possible: “But it doesn’t matter.

“We will get to know each other again. If there is really a very sincere relationship, it is like a name engraved on ice… Even if new ice covers it, the traces will still be wrapped in it.”

Annan knew that whether it was Dmitri or Maria… that softness did not exist in their hearts.

Their hearts are made of ice.

Never feel the love, warmth, touch and joy of the world… But even so, the love they give to others is still very real.

– Even if you don’t feel love yourself, you can give love to others.

Feeling Maria’s sincere feelings, Annan took a deep breath.

He finally showed a gentle and natural smile: “Sister…

He called it so.

“……first meet.”

“First meeting, Annan…”

Maria stared at Annan and said softly, but it seemed like she was reading it to herself.

“Okay, okay,” Dmitri coughed, looking a little uncomfortable with this scene, “His Majesty Annan… Let’s finish the business first, and then let’s talk about the old times.”

He interrupted the silence and asked directly, “I heard that the soufflé ran to you?”

“…Wait a minute, who’s the soufflé?”

Annan was stunned when he heard the words, and then added: “Also, Dmitry. You don’t need to call me that… When we get along in private, just call me Annan as usual.”

“I clearly remember what I mentioned to you!”

Hearing this, Dmitry breathed a sigh of relief.

He scratched his scalp, and then Maria slapped the arm again for this obviously rude behavior.

“It’s the humanoid frost beast… I heard that you picked her up from Viscount Dolgoruki in Wrangel Province?”

“That kid’s name is Soufflé?”

Annan was a little surprised, but still stubborn about Russell’s naming rights: “I remember she said she didn’t have a name…I have named her Russell.”

“Souffle is her original nickname.”

Hearing that the humanoid frost beast was indeed here, Dmitri breathed a sigh of relief.

He then explained: “You know, according to the custom of our Wintersmen, we don’t name young children.

“She is a werewolf… She was attacked in the wild when she had not yet received a name, and was comatose outside the small enchantment. We learned the name Souffle from her mother.”

When Dmitri said this, he snorted coldly and showed an expression of obvious disgust: “But how did such a one-year-old cub wander into the wild alone… She didn’t say anything.

“—Oh, but I don’t know if she says it.”

There is only one answer.

That is “Souffl锑s mother, who intends to abandon her.

Werewolves with children or pregnant are often not welcome in the villages – this is the experience brought by the lessons of countless blood.

In order to allow their children to obtain more resources, it is entirely possible for them to go crazy and hurt other people’s children, just like the cuckoo squeezing other birds’ eggs out of the nest, which belongs to the racial instinct of werewolves.

But on the other hand, if this maddening instinct cannot be restrained…

Then you can also “counterback” this instinctive trigger point.

That is, their children themselves.

Secretly give birth to their own children, and find opportunities to abandon them into the wild, and then enter unfamiliar villages.

This is a new way of life for female werewolves.

“Only these beasts who don’t understand emotions can commit such a big crime against human ethics.”

Dmitri snorted and said lightly: “I couldn’t bear to kill the children myself, so I just threw them into the wild with a blizzard – what’s the difference between killing them? This kind of meaningless mercy… ”

“By the way, Dmitry.”

Annan saw that Dmitri was about to start thinking about the original sin of the werewolf again, and immediately interrupted him: “I know that Russell has special value. But I don’t want you to drag her to breed… or something else. Good experiment.

“I have promised to take good care of this child.”

“Hey, Annan. Who do you take me for?”

Dmitri said without emotion: “I don’t need you to say that, and I won’t do it. She has no special value to the Winter family. I’ve been running around, looking for her—that is In order to prevent her from being caught by others, it is used to do this kind of thing.

“I’m here to protect the Principality of Winter, secondly to protect you, and then to protect other people…and to protect herself by the way.”
