However, Bella chose to refuse.

- Of course, it is impossible for her to disobey Vladimir. But in addition to teaching her loyalty to the Ten Fingers, Vladimir also taught her loyalty to the Rindong family.

That's a real curse.

It was engraved into the spell of the Winter's Hand, a curse that bound them from betraying again...... That curse, at some point, was touched by Vladimir, and added his own stroke to the back.

Of course, not all winter hands.

It's the batch he brought out personally...... After that group turned positive, they were destined to follow him and not enter the spell of the Winter Hand on the other side of the "Ten Fingers", and were cursed with the curse "Do not disobey Vladimir's orders".

And it is relying on the curse to fight the curse that allows Bella to produce the ritual of rebellion-

Because what Vladimir did was undoubtedly harmful to the Winter family.

Although not as much as the hench who followed Vladimir...... But Bella also knows that Vladimir appears to be conducting an artificial frostbeast experiment.

She's not very smart. Or rather, werewolves aren't very smart.

But her sharp instincts told her that the experiment, once completed, would cause some trouble for Dmitry.

However, Vladimir had already set a spell on her.

She could not divulge any secrets about Vladimir to others by any means.

I can't even write a diary -

With trembling hands, Bella burned the diary she had just written.

If she didn't, a strong sense of fear and guilt would overwhelm her and drive her crazy. This is a curse engraved on the soul.

This curse could not make her loyal to Vladimir, but it could prevent her betrayal. That's enough.

"What the hell am I going to do......"

She hugged her head in almost despair, and her erect canine ears drooped weakly.

And at this very moment.

A magnetic voice rang in her ears: "If you don't know what to do...... Why don't you listen to me? ”

"Who?"

Bella's dark golden pupils immediately turned into dangerous vertical pupils, and the wolf's fur was revealed, and she stood upright with her waist bent, and the whole person instantly completed the half-beast transformation.

But the moment she saw the other party, she lost her fighting spirit.

— not fear.

Having just experienced the threat of Vladimir, Bella knows very well.

The feeling that came to her heart...... It's closer to the "peace of mind" of staying with Dmitry.

It seems that you can realize from the bottom of your heart that the other party will never hurt you.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Werewolf. I'm the companion of all werewolves......"

The gray-haired and gray-eyed man said gently.

He appeared in Bella's room at some point, sitting in her most common seat. With his hands crossed, his movements are gentle, earnest and solemn. There was a faint smell of alcohol on his body - a bitter taste for werewolves.

It's as if ...... He wasn't talking to himself, he was performing some sacred ritual.

Ah Dian recognized the identity of the other party at the first time.

Except that the hair color is completely different from the eye color...... This is simply the "Frederick" of the year!

"You can call me Professor."

"Frederick" said slowly, "I am the patron of all werewolves. I think you've probably heard my name......

"I'm Frederick Wolf's Heart."

It's "I am", not "I am".

Bella apparently knew the other party's identity as well.

“…… I've heard of you, you're 'Professor Wolf'. ”

Her attitude softened obviously: "You raised a lot of werewolf orphans. Although you also let them perform some dangerous missions, ...... Overall, you've saved far more people than you've killed.

"For the sake of my compatriots, I must thank you."

"Shh......h

Professor Wolf held out his index finger and stood in front of his lips, chuckling, "Don't thank me, don't hate me.

"I'm just offering them a job – a job that they can do and that they do best. But I don't like to call them 'tools', but ...... My apprentice. In other words, 'collaborators', 'allies'...... I prefer this title.

"To each his own, this is a fair cooperation, a take-and-take deal.

"I'm here now, and I'm just proposing a deal to you...... A deal that might make you a traitor in the eyes of the world, but it will protect the Winters. ”

Professor Wolf smiled softly, "I'm going to help you resolve your current predicament...... Will you believe me? ”

“…… What do I have to give? ”

Bella asked warily.

"It's easy, and you'd be willing to do it."

Professor Wolf smiled and said, "At the right time, give advice to your fellow werewolves and help them get a job...... As for this timing, you're bound to encounter it when the time comes. ”

“…… What kind of work can werewolves get. ”

Bella's eyes dimmed: "We have mad blood in our veins. Not smart enough, not loyal enough...... It can even hurt the employer. ”

"Of course there is."

Professor Wolf replied affirmatively, "That would be a noble job." It is a sacred mission that only you can accomplish – a great thing that can help restore stability to this country. ”

“…… Is there really such a good thing? ”

"Of course there is."

Professor Wolf nodded, repeating a second time.

“…… So what am I going to do? ”

Bella hesitated and said, "You talk about it first." If it was harmful to Dmitry, I wouldn't do it. ”

"Not only harmless, but there will be good things."

Professor Wolf said slowly, "Have you heard that Dmitry is going to sacrifice to the rotten man? ”

“…… I have heard of it, and it seems that it was a gamble suggested by His Highness Annan in order to help Grand Duke Ivan regain his health. ”

"That's not good."

Professor Wolf said worriedly, "They may not know that rotten men can indeed bestow the character of 'eternal' on rulers. But the rotten man needs to perform a sacred ritual that requires him to kill the seven immortals in order to regain his original power.

"In other words, once Grand Duke Ivan obtains the immortal, he may not be far from death."

“…… But that's just your word for it. I can't believe you. ”

Bella said vigilantly.

"Of course, you can look it up. I promise nothing different from the book. ”

Professor Wolf swore and said, "And you may not know...... If you want to call the rotten husband to come, you can only sacrifice it with fertility - because what the rotten husband needs is the 'queen' of the heir to the throne. It is the only gift that can please Him, who hates kingship. ”

Hearing this, Bella's pupils shrank suddenly.

The gray-haired and gray-eyed Professor Wolf nodded: "That's right, that's why Dmitry won't agree to have a child with you." If you give birth to a child, then the rotten man will definitely kill you...... In other words, Dmitry must put your children on the altar with you. ”

He sighed melancholy: "How could he do it......"

“…… Oh, yes. ”

In an instant, tears welled up in Bella's eyes.

Dmitry wouldn't do that.

Bella is certainly incomparable.

In Dmitry's frozen, joyless heart, there was a burning love. In other words, it is that love for the country and others that keeps him from going crazy.

He was a gentle man and would never do such a thing.

"So what am I going to do?"

Bella quickly realized the problem: "If the ritual is successful, the Grand Duke will die." And Dmitry also lost his fertility......"

"That's right, the position of Grand Duke will fall into the hands of the still immature Annan. He is so young that he will definitely be overshadowed by others. Then the Duchy of Winter is over. ”

Professor Wolf said worriedly, "Winter is the country where werewolves live, how can I plunge them into civil strife? ”

And Vladimir is still doing that kind of thing.

Bella added in her heart. But she couldn't speak.

"So what should I do?"

She asked urgently.

"It's simple," Professor Wolf replied affirmatively, "that's a deliberate loss." ”

"...... you lose?"

Bella was a little dazed.

"That's right, since you are in a lover relationship with His Highness Dmitry (Bella blushed visibly when she said this), then the rotten man will definitely ask for your presence during the ceremony.

"And you just need to lose the fight you're responsible for, and that's all it takes."

Professor Wolf smiled and said, "You see, Grand Duke Ivan doesn't have to die, and because you have done such a strange act, then the Grand Duke will realize that something is wrong with you and conduct a thorough investigation of you."

"Such an investigation will bring out Vladimir's conspiracy as well. In this way, you have ruined Vladimir's plot without leaking secrets to anyone - and at the same time saved the life of Grand Duke Ivan. And all you have to lose is your reputation...... As long as Dmitry still believes in you, then you have nothing to lose. ”

“…… However, the child ......"

Bella's pupils dimmed.

Professor Wolf snapped his fingers, "There's no need to panic.

"I can teach you a ritual - it's specific to werewolves, and it can circumvent most contraceptive rituals."

As he spoke, he gave a white ball the size of a little finger.

“…… What is it? ”

"It's a special device for storing embryos, just like a glass bottle for potions."

Professor Wolf said slowly, "If you put it there, this month's ovulation period will not come normally." And you have sex with Dmitry once after that, it doesn't matter what type of contraceptive ritual he takes, what type of drugs he takes...... When you come back, you take it out and give it to me.

"I'll put it in other werewolves who want to have children. Since Dmitry did not know that he had a child, and neither did the child's surrogate mother, then the child did not have the 'possibility of inheriting the throne'.

In this case, even if Dmitry had sacrificed an heir, the rotten man would not have been able to find the child—and he had not actually died. You still have a child with him, but he can't see you or see him. ”

Professor Wolf said slowly, "Would you like to?" ”

“…… I do! ”

Bella hesitated for a moment before taking the ball.

A look of joy appeared on her face.

But she quickly frowned again: "But why are you helping me so much?" ”

"Because I'm the mentor of all werewolves."

Professor Wolf said with deep meaning.

As he spoke, he smiled silently at Bella, and the whole person suddenly disappeared.

And at the moment when he disappeared.

Bella's room door suddenly opened.

Young Annan stood silently at the door.

For some reason, Bella, a little thief-minded, panicked, stood up and hid the small white ball in her hand.

Under Annan's quiet gaze, she felt a little flustered.

“…… His Highness Annan. ”

She whispered.

Annan's abyssal pupils stared at her.

He whispered, "The cowardly will want to apologize before betrayal, and the despicable will ...... later"

For a moment, Bella was creepy.

And Annan stared at her and said slowly: "So, what are you?"

"- Cowardice? Or is it a despicable? ”

"I ......"

For a moment, Bella felt something choke her throat.

She couldn't say anything.

The two of them were in a stalemate for ten seconds.

Ten seconds seemed like a century had passed.

Annan nodded slightly, and said calmly: "Forget it, I'm not difficult for you."

"—You're just a fool.

"Goodnight, then."
