[Dmitry Rindon, a man who is never afraid of "giving"]

[He even longed for self-sacrifice - at a very young age, he had delusional thoughts that it would be best for some disaster to fall from the sky and only he could solve it, but he died honorably in the process of defending the cold winter and protecting his family......]

[From the time Dmitry was a child, he vowed to give his entire life for all living beings]

[But he hasn't had such a dream for a long time]

[On the one hand, it is because he gradually realized that the talents of his younger brothers and sisters are far superior to his own, and this kind of opportunity to become a hero by himself may not exist; On the other hand, it is because his value lies in "existence", or "survival" itself.

[Although Dmitry himself does not want to admit it, his life is indeed of extraordinary value]

[His masochistic hard work and self-challenge may be self-struggle born after this realization - he does not want to admit that his life is more valuable than others, so he can only help others as much as possible in his limited life]

[On the basis of this matter...... If possible, it's best to prioritize helping people close to you and people you like.]

[——Until now]

[His brother Annan Rindong made a dangerous suggestion: let Dmitry use his royal blood to summon the immortal and heirless god Rot, and make a bet with him according to the rules of the Tower of Fantasy with a Thousand Faces]

[If Dmitry can win, then the rotten man will give his father, the best winter duke of all generations, "Ivan III", immortal power.] In this way, the Winter Man will receive a half-dragon, half-human Eternal Monarch]

[Yes, the gods will not allow any form of immortality for kings to ensure a normal change of dynasty.] But in the realm of rotter, the "Eternals" are meant to be only temporary...... Once all the Eternals have been gathered, the Rotten Man needs to kill them in turn to regain the authority of the Eternals.]

[But according to the ability of the rotten man, Annan judged that even if he was given another two hundred years, the rotten man would not be able to complete this ceremony]

[This means that they can give Ivan at least two hundred years of life, two hundred years of health, strength and energy, which means that the Duchy of Winter will prosper again]

[And if they lose the bet, they will only lose the ability to "inherit the blood of the royal family" - that is, they will lose the ability to reproduce in any form]

[In other countries, perhaps Dmitry would have doubted his brother's motives.] But it's actually a good thing for Dmitry...... Because his lover is a werewolf]

[When a male werewolf is injured, drunk, or looking for the opposite sex, when a female werewolf is pregnant and raising a young child, it will become extremely aggressive.] Therefore, male werewolves are often not allowed to enter the city, and female werewolves who do not carry offspring can live normally in the city before they become pregnant.

[There is no reproductive isolation between humans and werewolves. This means that once his lover Bella is pregnant...... She will be forced to leave the Frost Province and even lose her identity as the Hand of Winter. Even if she is pregnant with the Child of Winter, she will at least be imprisoned until the child reaches puberty.

[Otherwise, the news that "Dmitry Rindon's wife attacked and killed civilians" will be used as a blade for the border nobles to fight Rindon.]

[But if he loses his ability to reproduce, then there is no need to worry]

[Whether it is won or lost, it is a good thing for him]

[However, this fact cannot be told to Bella - she has always wanted to keep a child for herself, even though she knows that she will be expelled from the Frost Province, lose her identity as the Hand of Winter, and never see each other again...... and even committed the crime of murder under deliberate inducement]

[She knew how despicable the methods of those nobles were, and would do everything they could to get her to kill, but she still wanted to leave Dmitry with a child......]

But it doesn't make sense. Dmitry knew in his heart that it would probably be his introverted and intelligent brother who would inherit the position of Grand Duke, and that his bloodline would be of no value...... Unless you can give birth to a girl]

[-After hesitating, Dmitry still didn't tell Bella the truth]

Thirteen Incense raised an eyebrow.

…… Why does this introduce the plot, it doesn't sound right.

The more Dmitry emphasized that "it doesn't matter if he has children or not", and the more he lists various circumstances to prove that "I don't care", the more Dmitry feels that Dmitry cares about this as a "bystander".

Or rather, he doesn't care about his own heirs.

Rather, "children with Bella".

But werewolves are a discriminated group - they go crazy from time to time, and they don't have any advantage other than being physically stronger...... The brain is even a little dumb.

Oh yes, werewolves are not prioritized by frostbeasts, so they can synergize with frostbeasts.

…… However, in this day and age, it seems that this matter has not yet been known.

"Dmitry's fears, though, are correct."

Thirteen Xiang thought to herself.

If Bella is really pregnant, then there are not many intrigues that can be drawn from her...... Inducing Bella to kill can be used as a lever to control Dmitry, to combat the influence of the Winter regime, and even to destabilize the entire Duchy of Winter.

Bella's children can be used to create domestic confrontations with werewolf groups, stigmatization to reduce the prestige of the entire Winter family, or to raise it or steal it to make claims.

He's just a player in the P Society, and he can come up with so many ways. Presumably, the Winter's nobles will be able to come up with more evil schemes.

From this point of view, as a member of a top-level ruler family like the Winter family, it is actually a more stable and rational move to directly distance Bella.

Since Dmitry did not do this.

So probably they are true love......

But then, a question appeared in Thirteen Xiang's hearts.

…… Case.

Why doesn't Dmitry have this werewolf named "Bella" by his side?

He had seen Dmitry twice, but he smelled of smoke, alcohol, messy hair, and dressed in a very casual manner. It's okay to say that it's a single old dog in his thirties, but it doesn't look like he has a girlfriend.

Where's your cuteness?

I only heard that the rotten man will directly sterilize people with a curse, but I haven't heard that he directly cuts people chirping?

Thirteen Xiang thought so.

He had gone into the basement of the tavern.

And the young Annan, who stepped on the center of the complicated ritual array, presided over the ceremony attentively.

…… Of course.

Even if "Annan" plays a very similar role, he recites mysterious knowledge very smoothly, as if there is a teleprompter in front of him.

But judging from his slick eyes, which seemed to glow, and the gaze that could not help but look around......

In the body of this cat-based young son, I am afraid that he has a canine heart.

- Most of the huskies are playing "Annan".

And at this very moment.

The main quest finally appeared before his eyes.

[Main Quest: Don't Say the Truth]

[Can't let Bella know the whole picture of the plan]

[Win at least two rounds against the Fuman]

【Annan Winter Can't Die】

…… Odd?

This main quest has a strange flavor...... This is obviously a battle of wits against the Rotter, but "Winning the bet against the Rotter" is only the second side quest.

Side quests are generally part of the main quest, but it's okay not to complete them in case of conflicts.

This means that even if he doesn't win...... This nightmare can also be done.

So, another doubt and reason rose from the heart of Thirteen Incense.

Speaking of which, what about the Adian people?

Who is she playing? Bella?

Suddenly, like a flash of light, inspiration instantly flooded Thirteen Incense's heart.

He suddenly remembered something...... Although Annan did not explain to them where the "key" to this nightmare came from. But it was clearly in the shape of a wolf's claw.

I'm afraid, its owner is ...... Beira.
