Annan's appearance made many eyes gather. Black hair with black eyes...... Of course, they recognized this as the king of the northern realm who was in the limelight and scolded the legends of the royal capital.

They were looking at Annan, and Annan was looking at his acquaintances on the dance floor: Farro Barros, with his chubby face smeared with powdery mineral powder, dancing comically on the dance floor, occasionally arching his ass to the dancers and bringing laughter to the guests.

Annan's drooping eyes showed sadness like hurt.

Would the original King of the North, standing at the apex of the North, think of his descendants pleasing the nobility like circus performers?

The ladies and ladies looked at Annan with interest, but the pride and contempt of the superior made Annan give up the conversation and come to the table alone.

Annan tasted some pastries, which were not bad, but not as good as the manor cook.

It didn't take long for Faro Barros to step onto the dance floor with enthusiasm.

"Nephew Annan, I'm so glad to see you!" Without figuring it out, he grabbed the wine glass held by the passing maid and drank it all.

"Is it worth it?"

Annan, who witnessed Farro Barros's efforts, frowned and said.

"That's what happens to losers." Faro Barros picked up another piece of pastry: "But I'm much better than those down-and-out nobles, the ancestors are above, ah-"

Farro Barros seemed to choke, and Annan handed him a glass of juice, and he coughed a few times before continuing: "You must not be like me...... I'm because there's nothing left, if—"

"Faro, why don't you let your friends perform along?"

A voice came, and a man in aristocratic attire with gold thread stood not far away and asked.

Farro Barros kept Annan behind his fat body: "He's just a boy from the north and doesn't know anything. ”

"Then you'll have to replace him." The man deliberately teased.

"No problem!" Faro Barros turned back and told Annan: "Remember what happened to me, and never give up your territory......"

Annan watched as Faro Barros slipped onto the dance floor again and began to dance comically, the bloated figure seeming to be desolate. It is not as easy as imagined to be hit on the left side of the face and then stretched out to the right cheek......

"He's just worried about being robbed of food by wild dogs."

Annan looked across the table at the speaker, a tall, handsome man with a thick calloused palm holding a wine glass.

"Is that hard to hear? But that's exactly what he did. The man said directly: "It is enough for the king to have a 'king of the north', and you will leave him without food." ”

"Who are you?"

"Faraeutong, a reservist, your bravery has helped us a lot, thank you." Farraeu gave Annan a simplified chivalric salute that Annan had seen in Mr. Mel. "But it also embarrassed many nobles, if you don't want to be played with as pets, leave the royal capital as soon as possible."

Annan looked around, and the strange empty space formed by the avoidance of the guests and waiters corroborated his words.

Duke Leondrey Albert, who had invited him, did not glance at him from beginning to end.

"I remember...... Do you know Mr. Mel? Therefore, Farraetong's "goodwill" is commendable.

"The Knight of the Eighth Holy Grail is our teacher."

"We are the walls and the teachers. We need to protect them and we have to teach them. Annan suddenly read out a phrase that Mr. Mel had said at school.

"That's right." Faraetong's expression was a little more agreeable, and he said a little more: "Let's go, Farro Barros is just a dessert tonight, and you are the main meal." ”

"Thank you."

Annan walked to the terrace as usual.

In the distance, the palace gardens around the mountain are transformed into a floating city at night - the city is brightly lit and longing.

Without time to enjoy the view, Annan deftly climbed down the carved stone pillars of the outer wall to the manor gate. The housekeeper wondered why the king of the north had come out early, but he didn't think much about it, and opened the door to let Annan out.

"Otto, Otto—"

Annan lowered his voice and called out to the kobold guards, and after a while it ran out of the darkness: "My lord, I have marked a location!" ”

"How was it marked?"

The kobold ran to the corner, then lifted himself and backed, the shadows under the cloak creating a beautiful arc.

"Let's go...... Before the nobles reacted, go quickly! ”

Annan and the kobold ran back into the carriage and hurried away from the manor gate. It didn't take long for a scream to pierce the night sky behind him—

……

"You're doing a great job."

On the way back, Annan praised.

I stretched out the right side of my cheek, but it didn't prevent me from peeing on you.

As a result, Annan's thoughts did not last long, and when he returned to the manor, he saw a guard stationed outside the manor—they were obviously not sent to protect Annan.

"Stop! What people! ”

The guards stood in front of the carriage.

"I should ask you."

The captain of the guard looked at Annan and suddenly said, "You are the king of the north?" ”

He led Annan to the mansion, and stepped into the door, where a strange and beautiful lady sat on the sofa in the hall, with a graceful temperament no less than that of the Lady Winter who had been in contact with her. Her outfit was the dress of a noble lady of the royal capital, and her loose, pleated skirt made her look like a ripe fruit.

The captain of the guard knelt down on one knee in front of the woman: "Your Highness, Annan Reeves is here." ”

Annan guessed that she was Princess Sayles. The princess, who had been away for more than twenty years, happened to come back tonight, and Annan didn't think it was a coincidence, but he could only sigh: "I'll leave ...... now"

"Where are you going?" The toes in Princess Sayles' crystal slippers are slightly raised.

"Find a hotel."

She frowned and said, "This is humiliating the royal family, this is the royal hospitality." ”

Annan didn't speak, because this is really the hospitality of the royal family.

Princess Sayles thought for a moment, but said, "Since you are my brother who arranged for you here, then stay here." ”

"Your reputation will not be good."

Princess Sayles softened Annan's attitude at the expense of her: "I am just a woman who has lost her husband, and I have not cared about fame since the day my husband died...... But it's really not good to live with a boy, so you don't go near my room. ”

Annan was forced to move from the third-floor bedroom, where he had only lived for one day, to the second-floor guest room, just downstairs from the princess's bedroom. The scenery outside the window is still beautiful, but it has more of the smell of sending people under the fence.

In the dead of night, Annan quietly opened the portal and whispered: "I miss Xingyue Bay......"

Opposite the portal, the sleepy-eyed Olmedo leaned lazily on the sofa, his cheeks much softer than during the day: "Then come back." ”

"Not yet...... I wonder what the hell is going on in Wangdu. ”

"Come here, I'll give you something."

Olmedo and the aggrieved Annan said, coming to the portal.

"You're just taking on this for your people."

Olmedo's hand passed through the portal, touched Annan's black hair, and said softly.
