- This is what is left over from when Maria killed Bella last year.

When Maria was seventeen years old, two years ago, she inherited the Tower of Storms and advanced to the Golden Tier.

And at the end of last year, shortly after the man in the mirror ascended to the gods...... With the help of the Tower of Storm's surveillance of the entire Duchy of Winter, Maria finally stumbles upon the traces of the traitor Bella, the werewolf, who disappeared two years ago.

Maria's affection for Dmitry was only not as close as Annan.

But compared with other "outsiders", as her scarce direct blood relative, Maria also cares about and respects Dmitry very much.

Of course, Maria has no mercy for this she-wolf who betrayed her brother twice, and even betrayed the entire Duchy of Winter...... One might even say that it is deeply hated.

Faced with Bella's practice of directly ripping off her tongue and not wanting to reveal information.

Maria didn't ask her in detail about her interest, and just a single sentence of [Edict: Suicide] caused Bella to die instantly.

After that, Maria did not examine her body either.

Instead, it directly rolled up a storm and buried her body. Out of sight, out of mind.

But at this time, Vasily Manning sent her important information that Annan was alive and at Noah.

After that, Maria immediately brought the news back and reported it to Grand Duke Ivan as soon as possible.

…… As a result, it was only then that she learned from Grand Duke Ivan about Annan's previous plan - to leave memories behind. And even Grand Duke Ivan himself is not sure if Annan is still alive and remembers that he is Annan Rindon.

Throw away your memories - sacrifice your life so far and add a reversal inscription to completely reverse the curse of the Heart of Winter.

This is to give Annan an advantage in the face of the "mirror".

Mary did know, in the long run...... This plan will make Annan safer.

Fate is a natural contradiction - if a certain "mirror" of Annan can break free from his similar and symmetrical fate to Annan, and defeat Annan directly. Then he will become the new holder of the Book of Skywheels.

Since Annan has been selected by the Book of Cranes, he has become the new Crane...... Then this is the "fate" that cannot be escaped. The more you try to look for it, the more you can't find it; On the other hand, the more you try to escape, the more you can't escape.

It's not a seven-player scuffle, it's a six-on-one wheel battle.

It's a good thing to be able to prepare early.

…… But this is premised on the fact that Annan's plan can really succeed.

What angered Maria the most was that both Dmitry and Ivan knew about this plan.

It's not just Annan who is hiding from her—the men of the family all choose to exclude Maria from the plan.

Mary was angry.

INTERVIEWER Wouldn't it be better if I were included in the program?

Of course, they know Maria's character very well...... Now it is certain that Annan has succeeded. But if the plan had actually been carried out, Mary might have hesitated. She knew the whole picture of the plan, and it might be counterproductive.

But the result is ...... Before the plans of that time could begin, Annan suddenly disappeared.

He was suspected to have been attacked by a rotten man, but he couldn't even find the body, and the prophecy spell couldn't locate it at all.

But if you use the true knowledge worm to ask "whether Annan is dead", sometimes the answer is "dead" but sometimes "no", and this answer is even constantly swinging.

So it's possible to survive. But even Dmitry, who believed in Annan the most, could only comfort himself...... It wasn't until I saw Annan again that I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Now they finally understand why that problem had changed.

Because the "dark and cold Annan Rindong" they are familiar with is indeed dead, but the existence of "Annan Rindong" is still alive...... And it has been given a new lease of life.

So in the face of this question, the true knowledge worm will give a completely different answer.

Now go back and ...... Fortunately, Annan's plan succeeded, which meant that his memories of the past had been completely destroyed.

But Mary felt a little unwilling.

She did not help the project itself and was completely excluded. So after Annan's return, can you prepare some useful gifts for him?

When Annan returns, he will be the new Grand Duke of Winter.

What is there that he can't get?

Maria spent a month thinking in the Tower of Storms.

She finally thought about it...... Maybe I can find something to help Annan recover his memories that have been destroyed in the past!

That's right, Annan's "all the memories he has" in the past have been completely emptied by the ceremony. But the things he did and the words he said have been engraved in the world and in dreams.

As long as there is a nightmare in which "Annan" appeared in the past, it can help Annan get back the memories of the past!

To be precise, it shouldn't be said to be "recovered". It's like watching a play with himself as the main character, so that he can get acquainted with his past self...... Learn more about yourself.

Where can you find such nightmares?

- The answer is imminent.

Bella the werewolf, who had been killed by Mary in the province of St. Alexei four months earlier, buried in the wasteland of the Pillars of Poison Ferns...... As a silver-level transcendent, she can also generate nightmares after death.

And with Bella's experience, her nightmare will probably be the gambling game back then...... It was the last gamble Dmitry took part in in his life. If he could experience that nightmare again, perhaps Annan would have a deeper understanding of his past self and Dmitry.

After figuring out the situation, Maria ascended the Tower of Storms.

Now that her "sentence" for guarding the Tower of Storms is over, she immediately runs back to the Poison Fern Pillar to find Bella's body, which was buried by the blizzard at the time.

Fortunately...... Four months have passed, and Bella's body has not been removed.

As a transcendent, most of her body had disintegrated after she died. The remaining relics are generally the "keys" needed to enter the nightmare.

The "key" left by Bella is her left paw in wolf form.

As soon as the key was retrieved, Maria sealed it...... Then he went and beat Dmitry.

She knew that Annan was still alive much earlier than Dmitry. But Maria asked Ivan not to tell Dmitry about it for the time being—just let him worry a little longer, as a small revenge.

And now Dmitry has learned everything.

- Then Mary can go and beat him up.

She'd endured the beating for a long time...... When she learned that Ivan and Dmitry were involved in Annan's disappearance, she made up her mind to beat Dmitry.

And he had to be beaten twice - Ivan was not in good health, and the old man's share should also be borne by the eldest son.

But if he just rushed over and punched him, Dmitry might have realized what had happened and would have been happy.

That's not going to work!

Maria endured until Dmitry learned the truth...... That is, now.

The reason why he didn't go back to Frost Yu in advance to save a meal was just to beat Dmitry outside.

In front of Annan, save a little face for her stupid brother.

…… When the injury is healed, take him home.
