Chapter Seventy-Nine: He's Such a Good Man

Looking at the unpredictable expression on Viscount Barber's face, Annan couldn't help but laugh.

He felt a sense of pleasure from the heart.

- Sure enough, the bet was right.

From the very beginning, Annan guessed that Viscount Barber would most likely know "Don Juan Geraint". After all, this old man has lived too long, let alone Don Juan, even Annan, it is entirely possible for him to know him.

Even if it was very unlikely that he had never seen or knew Don Juan, and had never seen his portrait, he was at least acquainted with Don Juan's grandfather.

The Viscount would never have thought that he would invite Annan in alone, but instead he would do him a favor......

This is simply helping Annan cover up his identity.

Otherwise, the vest of "Don Juan Geraine" will fall off today.

"Youβ€”You're not Don Juan Geraine at all! You're the one from the Rindons' house...... Annan!? ”

Alvin Barber's lips trembled a little, and even broke his voice: "Yes, is that you?" ”

Looking at the old viscount's look of seeing a ghost, Annan was a little suspicious, he might have almost scared the old man to sudden death just now......

Annan only had a gentle smile on his face: "That's right, it's me."

"As for where Don Juan...... I think you should know that in your heart. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦ I see, I see. No wonder, no wonder ......"

Old Alvin muttered, leaning back on the stool, his eyes still filled with fear and panic, but as if he had gradually figured out something.

Annan kept a gentle smile and watched as he quickly regained his composure.

The viscount was silent for a moment and asked.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Don Juan, that kid, really went to feed the fish? ”

The old man's voice was still a little hoarse. Maybe it's because I was too emotional.

Annan just smiled and didn't reply.

So quiet and passive...... It's also part of the clichΓ©.

The so-called watching people put down dishes.

When facing old Alvin, you can't take the initiative to guide him to think like fooling Salvatore.

He is suspicious and experienced, so he has to use a different set of tricks......

"Did the third prince find you? Or did you find the third prince? ”

The viscount pondered silently for a long time before continuing to speak and ask slowly.

Good question.

Annan smiled coldly in his heart.

No matter how Annan answers, one thing will be directly exposed - that is, they have tacitly cooperated with the third prince; And if Annan had not cooperated with the third prince, there would have been some problems exposed in the answer.

It seems to be a multiple-choice question, but it is actually a practical question.

Annan deliberately hesitated at this time and did not answer positively. Turning his head to look at the stocky, bald man.

On such a cold day, he was wearing a thin shirt. And the muscles on his body can even burst the bulging bags on the top of his shirt and show obvious marks. It looks like an underground boxer.

"This is ......"

Annan changed the subject and deliberately asked, "It's yours...... Chamberlain? ”

"My name is Justin Kney, Your Excellency."

Before the old viscount could reply, Justin had already gotten up from his chair and saluted Annan respectfully: "Grandmother loves all her family. ”

"May Grandmother love you too, dear brother."

Annan replied obediently.

He immediately turned back to the old viscount and said hello, "And you, Grandpa Barber." ”

This is what Annan specially found from the book before, and the greeting etiquette commonly used in the Principality of Winter -

In the same way that the Kingdom of Noah believed in the Silver Sir and would mention a silver lord or a silver coin in his greeting.

The greetings of the Duchy of Winter are usually related to each other. For example, "Grandmother loves you, brother", "May grandmother bless you with all the best for your uncle today" and so on.

But those with low status, when greeting people with high status but not very familiar with each other, can only bless in a broad sense. At this time, if you call each other directly as family members, it will appear very related and flattering...... Of course, if the skin is thick enough, it is not impossible.

And if the other party also responds in a broad sense, it means estrangement; And if the other person is willing to call you in an intimate way, then it means that the other person is also kind to you.

The only exception is the elderly.

The Duchy of Winter respects the elderly, and the status of the elderly is very high. Even when you see the lord, you don't need to say hello or salute, but the lord greets the old man...... If the old man is old enough, the local lord will also send money and food to the old man every year.

Based on such customs, even if Annan was gentle and answered all questions, he would not be suspected of being too attentive. And after Annan's previous misleading, the old viscount will only think that this is all after taking off the nesting doll of "Don Juan Geraine".

- You think I'm Don Juan? Is it from the Geraint family?

- You're wrong, I'm actually Annan Rindonda.

- You think I'm a winterman?

- You're wrong again, I'm actually a traverser.

The old viscount nodded slowly, and his attitude softened a little.

"This is my new butler, and my chief of guard. He's a nice lad. ”

He gave Annan a general introduction to Justin, then turned to the bald man and said with a serious face, "You go and ask the kitchen if there is any dinner."

"Since you called me grandpa, stay and eat tonight."

And the real purpose of the old viscount is to temporarily separate Justin.

Annan specifically asked Justin before answering this question, that is, he secretly asked Viscount Barbel if he could let Justin know.

Old Alvin also made his own response.

- No, you can't.

Justin apparently understood what Alvin Barber meant. He didn't say much, just nodded and left the room.

He didn't think anything would happen to the old viscount.

Although these two people are old and young, they are both people with status. People with status don't flip the table easily.

And there is no conflict of interest between them at all.

Old Alvin's enemy is Don Juan of the Raven family. But Annan is not Don Juan at all, so they are not enemies, but temporary comrades-in-arms with the same enemy.

And Annan is the son of the Grand Duke, and his identity is not known to be much more noble than that of the old Alvin. He personally lurked in the frozen water harbor, and naturally it was impossible for him to plot the life of a viscount...... He also needed the support of the native, Alvin Sr.

At the same time, Annan runs over and disguises himself as Don Juan Geraine, who was killed by the Three Princes' men, which means that the Third Prince may have a deal with the Duchy of Winter.

No matter what Justin thinks, he doesn't think that the two of them have the possibility of fighting.

On the contrary, if he knew too much, his life could be in danger......

He was very grateful to Annan in his heart.

guessed that he was not the viscount's retainer, so he specially persuaded himself to leave before he wanted to tell the secret......

"He's such a nice guy."

He sighed.

On the other side, the old viscount had already fainted in his seat with a tired face.

Annan exhaled lightly, the dim gray light in his eyes fading.

He then retrieved a hammer and a kitchen knife from his satchel.

Annan was grateful to Justin, who obediently left.

In the face of such a big secret, this big man can actually resist not lying on the door and eavesdropping......

"He's a smart guy."

Annan commented.

It can be said that it is extremely smart.

- It's a pity that I haven't seen anything called a change of home tactic.
