…… Who are you?

Why are you arresting me?

Annan frowned slightly, his gaze moving slightly.

He looked no more than fourteen or fifteen years old. Perhaps it is the reason for the girl's early development, she is slightly taller than Annan.

Annan looked at the girl, who was about as tall as herself.

The first thing that catches your eye is the beret that sits diagonally on your head. Then came the long black gothic dress......

But when he noticed the other party's pupils, Annan was suddenly stunned for a moment.

This almost transparent texture, coupled with pale skin that has not seen the sun for many years......

- How do you feel a little similar to yourself?

"Can you please let me go?"

Annan said softly and politely.

Hearing his words, Kaphne obediently loosened his sleeve.

But she didn't back down or get angry, just continued to stare at Annan intently. The bright red, red crystal-like pupils made Annan feel slightly uncomfortable.

For it is not the admiration of the beautiful opposite sex, nor the admiration of the maiden looking at the idol, or even the worship of the priest when he looks at the idol......

It's closer to the look in a painter's eyes when he admires a famous painting.

But Annan did not have the slightest fear in his heart.

He just looked at this girl with interest, who rarely gave him a sense of crisis, and asked softly, "...... are you?" ”

"Kaphne. Kaphni Noah. ”

It wasn't Kaphne, it was her father, His Highness Albert, who spoke.

Salvatore on the side was a little confused.

…… Your Highness?

Where's Your Highness?

"Wait......"

Salvatore whispered to Annan, "I don't quite understand. ”

He didn't call him "Don Juan" by his first name.

Because he was worried that if Annan was really not Don Juan Geraine, then saying this name here might make His Royal Highness Prince Albert suspect that he was pretending to be a nobleman of the kingdom to steal information.

After glancing at Annan and seeing Annan nod slightly, the bald fat man with a mouthful of brilliant gold teeth spoke in Annan's place.

He respectfully introduced to the other three people present: "This is the youngest son of Grand Duke Rindong - Annan Rindong. ”

“…… Are you the son of the Grand Duke? ”

After a brief silence, Salvatore asked in disbelief, "Then why did you appear in Frozen Waterport?" ”

I want to know about it too.

Annan muttered inwardly.

But he was surprised by Salvatore's calmness: "Senior, why do you seem to ...... Not surprised? ”

Isn't he angry that he deceived him?

Salvatore just glanced at Annan strangely: "I know you, not Don Juan Geraine......

Besides, Don Juan himself doesn't have a good reputation. I had already heard from my teacher that Don Juan, the youngest son of Count Raven, was a cowardly man who was diametrically opposed to the decisive character of the old Raven.

"He didn't look like an aristocrat, or even like a scholar...... And like a toddler. His only merit is that he is obedient, well-behaved, and knows etiquette, but other than that, he does not dare to do anything or gamble anything. As long as there is a slight probability of failure, he does not dare to act alone, and he does not even have the courage to quarrel with others and question the decisions of others. ”

Speaking of this, Salvatore glanced at Annan with a complicated face: "This matter is almost known to everyone in the noble circle of the kingdom. That's why when you first came to Frozen Water Harbor, I didn't give you any good looks......"

For a nobleman, "obedience" is not considered a virtue.

On the contrary, "no temper" can even be called a disadvantage. Coupled with the epic prefix of "no opinion", unless Benjamin can prepare a "Master Table" for him, he will only add chaos when he comes to Frozen Water Harbor.

"So, did you know from the beginning that I wasn't Don Juan Geraine?"

Annan was a little surprised.

He was unaware of Salvatore's suspicions about himself......

Salvatore just shook his head.

"Who you are doesn't make much difference to me."

He repeated: "I know you, not Don Juan Gerente." You have protected the people of Frozen Waterport, the reputation of the Geraint family, and helped me defeat my old enemies and help me complete my mission...... Even if it's the real Don Juan, he can't do more than you.

"Of course...... I'm still a little dissatisfied with you lying to me. But considering that you're not a wicked person, and you don't want to use my trust to get anything, then this should be a desperate move on your part. ”

Salvatore spoke calmly.

Nothing angry, nothing surprised. Just say it casually as if it were a fact.

He even looked a little happy, as if he was relieved.

"It's better that you're not from the Crow family."

Salvatore sighed with emotion: "I was still hesitating about whether to use the power of Zedi Black Tower to help the Crow Family. If I help you, I will feel guilty for my teachers and classmates who have been dragged down the quagmire; But if I don't help you when I see you in trouble, I feel uneasy.

"Since you are from the White Wolf family...... Then that's the best-case scenario. ”

Because of the Grand Duke of Winter, he naturally won't need the help of Zedi Black Tower.

They can't help at all – no matter what happens. If such a large group of transcendents entered the Duchy of Winter through the underground tunnels, it would be almost a declaration of war.

And Annan, who borrowed the strength of other countries, even if he only suppressed the rebellion, would only usher in a greater wave of public opinion.

And......

Salvatore looked at Annan with some oddity.

Originally, he just regarded Annan as a protagonist-type friend who "could be troubled at any time".

But I didn't expect Annan to be a great big man......

The youngest son of the Grand Duke of Winter - doesn't this mean that he is very likely to be the future Grand Duke of Winter?

The position of the Grand Duke is much more noble than that of the Lord of the Black Tower.

Annan was also a little confused.

This Salvatore ......

The personality is also a little too much, right?

Even if it was Annan himself, if he was deceived by a good friend like this, he would definitely complain for a few days, and then extort a few meals and some special products or something.

He never expected that this matter could be so lightly revealed.

Annan's original plan was to use the mouth of the "royal heir" to tell Salvatore his true identity and eliminate a time bomb; Then he then tied Salvatore to himself with the common enemy of the "Church of the Rotten Men who were about to arrive", lest he explode directly and leave; Finally, he and Salvatore defeated this enemy and re-established a new friendship with him as "Annan Rindon".

After all, Annan did not trap him, and helped him defeat Gerald and get the hammer.

But to deceive is to deceive.

Annan himself knew in his heart that deception was wrong. That's why he tried to mend the relationship between the two...... Because Annan realized that Salvatore's character was indeed good.

But he planned it well.

I just didn't expect Salvatore to play his cards at all......

"The three views of wizards are all like this...... Open-minded? ”

Albert on the side roughly sorted out the message in Salvatore's words, and looked at the young wizard with some messy hair a little strangely.

Although Salvatore's words do sound very reasonable.

But things related to oneself can still be so rational and "reasonable".

This in itself is a very unusual thing.

He paused, then turned to Annan and asked again, "However, why are you here, Your Highness?" If I get the news of your entry, my father will send me or my eldest sister to meet you. ”

Albert said this politely.

But Annan got a hint of vigilance and temptation from it.

Annan was not surprised or rejoiced -

That's the rhythm I'm used to!

"I have come to your country with my escorts across the Black Sea, and it is indeed my mission."

Annan said in a deep voice.

In the face of Albert's suspicions, he began to make up nonsense without psychological pressure-

Annan frowned slightly, revealing signs of seriousness.

He asked softly, "Your Highness Albert......

"Have you ever heard the name Rotter?"
