Chapter 392: Gradually tense situation
"Her Royal Highness Kaphni's side seems to have moved, is it okay?"
It was Eugene Geraint who spoke.
He rushed over early in the morning and asked Annan with some concern, "Did you ask her to come?" ”
"It's not."
Annan's answer was clear.
— but it didn't matter, she could come whenever she wanted.
This is Annan's reply.
Rather, realizing that the situation was becoming increasingly tense, Annan no longer considered "Roseburg" to be a safe place.
Especially when the old bread has already left.
If someone really wants to be unfavorable to Kaphne, he can't do it at all.
In this case, it would be safer to let Kaphne follow her and be protected by the paper princess.
"That's how you see it......"
Eugene nodded thoughtfully.
After a lot of vetting in private, she was finally able to judge that this person was generally harmless to Annan, and that he was the kind of friend who could make friends and would be beneficial to Annan's future.
She finally let in Eugene, who came to visit every day-
Although Annan was very grateful for the unusually cautious care of the paper hime, he couldn't help but feel a little amused by her nervousness.
This also made Annan feel the nostalgia and warmth that his parents and relatives paid attention to his school friendmaking environment for a long time......
And after Annan and Eugene chatted for a long time about the political situation in the royal capital, he made up his mind and moved back to Geraint's house from the high-end hotel.
On the one hand, it is to establish a good relationship with the Geraint family, on the one hand, to get important information as quickly as possible, and on the other hand, it is also for his own safety......
In addition, there is actually part of the reason, which is that Annan doesn't want to let Paper Ji spend money anymore.
…… The consumption of the Noah King Hotel is too expensive.
In the case of Jihime and Annan living in the same room, their daily lodging expenses, not even counting the food and the money she paid for Annan, cost one hundred and thirty pounds.
That's about 1,500 silver coins a night.
Annan felt so extravagant that he felt a little heartache when he looked at it.
Although it is not your own money, the money of your elders cannot be spent indiscriminately......
You might as well stay at Geraint's house.
At least not to mention anything else, the security is much stronger than that of the King Noah Hotel.
- You must know that the backyard of the Geraint family is directly connected to the back garden of the royal palace.
The security forces of the Geraint family are the king's guard.
It's still a mix of the royal guards and the hidden troops, not a protective ring that can be bypassed by mixing in one side. Coupled with the several monitoring circles arranged by the one-eyed crow, it is difficult for even a gold-level transcendent to sneak in.
From Annan's point of view, moving to the Jaylant family was a good choice in every way.
But seeing that Annan was deceived by Eugene to his home in just one day, Paper Ji suddenly looked worried and followed directly.
Although it made Annan feel safe, it always felt a little subtle.
It's like when I went to stay at the same school, my aunt or sister didn't feel at ease and came with me......
Fortunately, His Excellency Eugene's diplomatic power is still very sound.
That heartfelt kindness to others, as well as an attitude of listening carefully and taking the words of others seriously, is enough to gain the recognition of Paper Ji for him as a person.
Paper Ji just asked that she have to be present when Eugene talks to Annan - she says that there are no special circumstances and will not disturb the conversation between the two.
Eugene also knew very well that Paper Ji was worried that Annan had been deceived by himself......
…… But how could it be.
Lady Paper Hime, this is really concerned, and it's messed up.
Eugene sighed secretly.
He knew very well that His Highness Annan was not that kind of innocent child. When he was chatting with Annan, the pressure was even greater than that of chatting with the counts and marquis—he always felt that he might be unconsciously tricked out of Annan's information.
Of course, this is also because of the difference in status between them.
Annan is the soon-to-be-succeeded Grand Duke of Winter, a future god - and most likely even a false god of some righteous god. The identity gap between them is simply too great.
This makes Eugene Geraint, who is the future heir of the Raven family, must always grasp the social distance between himself and Annan, and only dare to stay in the position of "friend", not daring to be rude for a moment, nor daring to move forward in the slightest.
After all, what he wants to take care of and please is not only "Annan".
The power in the hands of the Geraint family must be the power of the future Majestic.
If he had been too close to Annan, the king's side would have been jealous of the Geraint family.
As the head of the highest intelligence agency, you have such a good relationship with the supreme ruler of a neighboring country...... May I suspect that something is wrong with you?
If it was a normal noble, it was a good thing that they were so jealous of the king.
This meant that the king would not easily trust their words but would not easily ignore them—which gave them a natural place in the social circles of the nobility, and even became the center of social interaction. For example, the "Ring Geraint Family Social Circle" or something.
However, the position of the Geraint family did not allow them to get close to the nobles.
An intelligence agency that does not obey the king, is not trusted by the king, and is not clear to the nobles, has no value.
And at that time, the "loyalty to the royal family" that the Geraint family previously backstabbed many nobles will in turn become a lever for them to spit out the benefits.
The same goes for Kaphne and for several other princes.
Eugene is also just polite and distancing.
- This is the way the crows survive.
The raven can only stand on a crown.
And his eldest brother, Ferdinand Geraint, kind of ...... The act of the staff who decisively chose one of them to serve before the heir was chosen and tried to increase the likelihood of him being chosen was actually very taboo by the king.
Therefore, Ferdinand was completely unaware that the more he helped His Highness Philip, the less His Majesty would choose Philip......
To Eugene's surprise, however, Philip didn't realize it.
It's different from his eldest brother who just looks steady.
Although Philip chews toffee every day and smiles, he often goes out with his friends and subordinates, and seems to be just a very stylish and interesting player, who doesn't pay much attention to these interpersonal and political matters.
But Eugene has a lot of secret information on hand.
He could easily see that Philip was a very intelligent man.
He is actually much smarter than the eldest prince. Just by looking at the fact that he does things without leaving a trace, you can see that this does not leave a trace, not that others cannot perceive that he did it, but that even if others are aware of the existence of Philip behind it, they cannot clearly realize what he wants and what he wants to achieve through this matter.
Eugene even suspects that his big brother may have been a pawn of Philip himself.
And, mention Philip......
He had to mention to Annan that Philip had recently acquired a new right-hand man.
Eugene asked Annan in contemplation, "Is the man named Delicious Wind Goose the one you sent?" ”
Because the other party's acting skills are so good, even Eugene can't be sure. Did the delicious wind goose really betray Annan, or was it a spy sent in by Annan......
When Annan heard this, he only smiled slightly.
Don't answer.
