Led by Kaphne, the two did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

This surprised Annan.

“…… Why is the palace so quiet? ”

He looked back at Kaphne and asked curiously, "Is this usually the case?" ”

"Of course not...... And there are a lot more people today than usual. ”

Kaphne whispered.

She looked a little uneasy...... It seems that there is some regret for bringing Annan over.

According to common sense, such an important place as the palace, even if the princess Kaphne herself leads the way. But Annan, as a stranger who has not been informed, must at least be arrested and interrogated, and maybe even arrested by the guards.

And Kaphne, after all, is not the eldest princess Elizabeth.

Elizabeth, as the default first heir, is virtuous and prestigious. She brought strangers into the palace, and the guards might indeed pretend not to see them—and even many of those guards were hers.

After all, she came from the army.

There are many guards who have been promoted from her direct line, and there are not a few people who have become commanders and captains now.

But Kaphne is the opposite, although she says every day that she is going to be the queen, but no one believes her.

This actually makes a lot of sense.

After all, before Kaphne met Annan, her erosion was too high, causing Kaphne to be chaotic and crazy every day, and her spirit was never very clear.

That's why Denton the Dream Stealer hasn't been able to fully grasp Kaphne's mind - because even he fears that his soul might be tainted after stepping into the depths of Kaphne's memories.

Although Kaphne has not yet fully become a real demon...... But she's a real madman.

Even the fourth prince himself occasionally has a strong sense of fear when he looks at Kaphne.

And ordinary people just look at her, they will feel creepy, their muscles twitch, and they will also have a strong feeling of vomiting because of fear, and even some people who are not strong will are scared by Kaphne and incontinent......

It's like you've been targeted by some monster.

In such a situation, it is only natural that people fear, alienate and even dislike Kaphne. The four princes are controlled like marionettes, and they can't help Kaphne...... Even he himself would be afraid of this daughter.

It was only after staying with Annan for a long time recently that her sanity gradually became sober.

At the same time, Philip continued to sabotage and interfere with Kaphne's relationships.

But all the people they met on the road today were well-behaved and did not squint. The guards standing on both sides were shiny even their armor and weapons.

“…… I see. ”

Annan reacted quickly, gently took Kaphni's hand, and comforted: "Don't panic, I already understand." ”

It should be Count Nolan, who has reported to Henry VIII that Annan is about to come to the palace.

After all, they had been staying at Count Geraint's house for the past few days. The most important duty of the Earl of Geraint was to pass on important information directly to Henry VIII.

Although Annan didn't say anything, Kaphni immediately believed Annan.

She calmed down with a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.

Annan's expression was a little more serious.

If Henry VIII already knew who he was......

Then she is no longer a friend of Kaphne, and she is going to see her grandfather......

- Instead, as the future heir of the Duchy of Winter and the soon-to-be-succeeded Grand Duke of Winter, he met directly with King Noah.

Annan quickly regained his mind, and after passing through the front hall, he entered the second floor of the main hall directly from the spiral staircase on the west side.

On the first floor of the main hall is the banquet hall that Annan saw when he came to Noah as a child. From the handrail on the second floor, he could look down - Annan could even see the spot where he had blown Philip's head.

Of course, in the timeline of reality, Annan did not do such a thing...... But this did not prevent Annan from suddenly feeling a trace of excitement and nostalgia in his heart when he saw that place.

It was the excitement of "Oh, I know this place".

It's like playing the game of Abi's family, when I travel abroad, I feel like I've been to this place in my life, and I even suddenly have the urge to climb the roof.

Annan had been following Kaphne, clockwise down the hallway.

The second floor of the main hall is a circular passage that allows about six to seven people to pass side by side, with a wall with many portraits on the left and a hollowed-out balustrade on the right. And this passage has eight directions, spaced 45 degrees apart in turn. Looking down from directly above, it looks like a glorious emblem of the sun.

And its design is that every nineteen paces you can see a tall, strong, heavily armed guard standing guard. First one on the left, then one on the right, then one on the left.

But every entrance to the inner side was unguarded. And there must have been a guard standing at the railing on the right, looking inside.

What surprised Annan the most was ......

When these guards saw Annan, they silently clenched their hands into fists, tapped them lightly on their hearts, and lowered their heads.

- This is the etiquette that only people have in winter.

If they could have spoken at this time, I am afraid that at this time they would have added "Grandmother loves you, my brother".

Just looking at this scene made Kaphne clench Annan's hand a little nervously.

“…… I—I don't know this ......."

She whispered to Annan as she explained.

Annan shook his head slightly, signaling her not to panic.

He understood exactly what Kaphne meant—that Kaphne was saying that she hadn't informed Annan of her identity in advance.

But now the situation is already obvious.

I'm afraid it's not just Henry VIII who knew Annan's identity...... I am afraid that this matter is already known to everyone on this day.

Even the guards knew about it, and the eldest princess and Prince Philip must already know about it.

Why did Henry VIII reveal his identity?

If they are going to stir up something bad for Annan...... Then Annan's identity must not be revealed. The concept of being unfavorable to Annan when he "does not know" his identity is not the same as being unfavorable to him when he knows his identity.

Of course, whether they know this or not is not whether they really know it or not.

— but external evidence to show that they "already knew."

They rounded the corridor on the west side, and after passing through three corridors, they walked towards the entrance to the northernmost part.

At the end of the road was the king's dwellings—first the study, and then the bedroom.

And when Annan and Kaphne entered Henry VIII's study, they finally saw the king, who was "said to be dying of old age".

But after seeing him, Annan was shocked.

The short black hair, the dark red pupils like dry blood...... Henry VIII looked like the fourth prince who was a teenager older.

These are almost exactly the same two people.

And it's so young—far younger than Annan imagined.

He looked like he was in his early forties and fifties...... If you don't know it, you will even think that he is the elder brother of the fourth prince.

…… This is the one who everyone thought he was going to "die of old age"?

There are still in the back, but in writing......
