Looking at the countless data streams flowing rapidly downward in front of him, Annan clearly felt that the familiar sense of weightlessness and falling gradually returned.

It was as if the air around it was gradually melting.

Annan, who was suspended in the void, also began to gradually fall......

“…… My dear, I want you to know that some cursed people really don't deserve it, but some people deserve it. ”

Annan heard a somewhat familiar voice ringing in his ears.

He was a little surprised.

Because that voice......

It seems to be, His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince Albert?

The next moment, Annan's consciousness completely fell into darkness.

“…… Your Highness? His Highness Annan? ”

He heard a cautious voice ringing in his ears.

At that moment, Annan even thought that he had not successfully entered the nightmare......

But he reacted quickly.

He sensed that he seemed to be sitting in a chair—and the world in front of him was much bigger.

No, it's not.

- It's that he's getting smaller.

“…… Sorry, just slept through. ”

Annan subconsciously showed a somewhat tired expression and made a childish voice.

He noticed that he seemed to be staying in an extremely luxurious palace.

He wears fur shaped like a mink coat. This strange fur is an extremely pure white color and is embroidered with intricate silver lines.

But strangely enough, even with such a heavy outfit...... Annan didn't feel the heat.

Annan could clearly feel that the room temperature was about 278 degrees. Seeing the thin clothes of the maids walking around the palace, Annan could immediately judge that the time should be summer.

It seems that he noticed the movement on Annan's side.

Not far away, the two people who were chatting looked over.

One of them was a woman with long black hair and dark red pupils. She couldn't see the specific age, and it made sense to say that she was in her twenties, thirties, or forties. She was dressed in a dark yellow gown with black spots reminiscent of a moth's wings, with a calm expression, bright eyes, and a natural demeanor.

And the person who was chatting with her was a young man who looked to be in his twenties.

He is nearly 1.8 meters tall, with deep blue pupils, a lean and well-proportioned body, and a straight back. Her long, pure black hair hangs down to her waist, and she is extremely smooth and supple, without half a curled hair.

The young man's skin was as cold and bloodless as jade. He wore clothes that were the same as Annan's, but unlike Annan's side, he didn't even have half of the wolf hair on his neckline, and his body was clean, not even a little dirty in his fingernails.

But what didn't match that handsome and immaculate appearance was that he was frowning all the time, and he looked very serious. Maybe it's because I'm often frowning, and I can faintly see shallow wrinkles on my forehead.

"What's wrong, Annan?"

He frowned, walked over and asked flatly, "Are you tired?" ”

Obviously words of concern.

But in his tone, there was no twist and turn, calm to the point of almost indifference.

"His Highness Dmitry."

The attendant behind Annan, leaning forward slightly with his upper body, touched his chest with his hand, and respectfully saluted the young man in front of Annan.

…… Is this Dmitry Rindon?

So what is he using now...... Is it the body of Annan Rindong when he was a child?

Annan immediately realized the historical background of this copy.

Based on Annan's height of fourteen years old...... The body is currently about nine or ten years old.

So the timeline should have been four or five years ago......

Could it be Prince Albert and Kaphne, what happened when they met Annan?

So this ......

Annan's gaze shifted to the lady who gave the impression of calm and reliable.

This should be the eldest princess of Noah's kingdom, Elizabeth Noah.

…… It's really hard to see that she is in her fifties.

"Yes, I'm a little tired."

But in Annan's thoughts, he just stood up and bowed his head apologetically: "I'm sorry......"

"When you're tired, go and rest."

Dmitry replied calmly.

There was no emotion in his pupils or words. It's as if the whole person is made of ice.

He turned around and asked Elizabeth flatly, "Your Royal Highness the eldest princess, is there any place where Annan can rest for a while?" There are too many people here, and Annan's health has never been very good. ”

"Yes."

The eldest princess chuckled and nodded gently to Annan.

Her voice was calm and generous, giving a strong sense of comfort, in stark contrast to Dmitry: "Let little Annan go to the garden from the side hall to rest." It is a field of flowers that has been blessed by the Pope of Silver Lord, and it has a good nourishing effect on the body and spirit. ”

As she spoke, she looked back at a young maid dressed in a white short-sleeved maid outfit with her hands crossed in front of her.

"Marianne, I'm in trouble."

She said gently.

The maid bowed solemnly and replied, "Yes, Your Highness." ”

At this moment, an old man not far away stood up silently.

He has a skinny, skinny build...... Sunken cheeks and deep eye sockets. Even the hair is a little thinning. He was dressed in pure black like a mourning dress, without any variegation.

He stood silently behind Annan, bowed slowly and respectfully, and bowed silently to the eldest princess.

Annan immediately recognized his identity.

— Merlin Manning, whom he had read last night.

The maid glanced at the silent old man with some fear, walked up to Annan, looked at his immature face, and couldn't help but smile.

She bowed down and stretched out her hand to Annan and whispered, "Please come with me, okay?" His Royal Highness Annan ......"

Annan did not hesitate and handed his hand to the maid. Follow her towards the sparsely populated side door, while the old man follows quietly.

At this moment, Annan's eyes finally appeared in front of the introduction task of this dungeon:

"August 8, 1498.

"As the youngest son of Grand Duke Rindon, Annan Rindon, you followed your brother Dmitry to replace Ivan Rindon, Grand Duke of Winter, to the Kingdom of Noah to attend the old king's 80th birthday.

"This is the first friendly diplomatic action between the Duchy of Winter and the Kingdom of Noah since the two countries entered a period of peace. It marks the resumption of formal business and trade between the two countries......

"—if all goes well.

"It's very unfortunate and rightfully taken for granted – that there are people who want to undermine this hard-won peace.

"And it's very simple.

"Whether it's Annan, Dmitry, Elizabeth...... Or if someone else dies, the birthday feast will become a grand funeral.

"And, the trigger for the next war.

"What's more, they don't want to kill just one person.

"It's going to be a great hunting ritual –

"Maybe it's too hard for you to stop this when you're only nine years old. But only you can do it...... Because at this birthday feast, only the young can move freely.

"Live. Sabotage conspiracy. Let more people live—"
