The Righteous Player(s)

When Annan returned to the Duchy of Winter, November was already halfway through.

This time, Kafni also followed Annan to the Principality of Winter.

This is the first time in her life that she has left Noah.

After all, Kafni is not like Annan—when Annan travels, he can safely throw the power of the Grand Duke directly to Dmitri. However, Kafni could not do such a thing.

Because she has no siblings to trust.

Although the hearts of the Winter Clan were frozen by ice and snow, they didn't know what love was from birth. But because of this... they cherish the people around them very much.

Because although they cannot be happy because of "getting", they will be sad because of "losing."

——When there is no happy memory as a buffer and protection, the slightest bit of sadness is so unbearable.

Coupled with the winter's climate and the curse of the heart of winter, the probability of a newborn's survival is not high.

Because of this...Even in the realm of "nobles" rather than "rulers", the Winter Family is the best relationship between brothers and sisters, none of them.

They can safely entrust their children, power, and greatest secrets to each other...

Of course, another important reason is that death is not a permanent parting for them; there is always a real "patriarch" who is silent, but is always watching everything.

However, Kafni never felt that kind of love. She didn't dare to hand over power to her aunt and princess...because power can really corrupt a person.

Even though the eldest princess had decided not to fight with her anymore, as long as she got used to the feeling of holding this power in her hands, she might not have any new ideas.

And Kafni's father is completely unreliable.

Although he is indeed a good person...but his ability is not even as good as Dmitry.

At least Dmitry still has the sense of responsibility that continues to torment him, allowing him to concentrate on accomplishing many things.

But that uncle, although he was born in the royal family, his desire for power is really indifferent...even to an outrageous degree.

He was so indifferent that his daughter had become a queen with power. He did not ask for any official positions, nor did he squander freely. He just stayed at home every day to read books and drink tea, and occasionally went out to accompany the bishops he knew well. Take a meal.

By the standards of Noah's nobles, his life can even be said to be thrifty.

He does have hunting dogs, but there are only two, and the breed is not a very good type; he does have his own wine estate and hunting grounds, but he has not been there for two years, mainly because he is too lazy to move; He looks thin and has a small appetite. He eats mainly vegetarian food, and he may not even have a meal a day.

He can even push and push even the banquets between the nobles.

Because his lack of desire is all-round... He is not only lack of power, but the whole person is like a Taoist monk, very Buddhist.

This should be because his previous memories have been scribbled and cut repeatedly, and the fire of desire in the depths of the spirit, intelligence and body has been destroyed to almost extinguished.

Although his father and daughter are both kings and noble people from any point of view... But he has lost his motivation like a numb social animal. Kafney did believe that he would not be greedy for power...but he acted too casually, and the random promises would definitely cause a lot of trouble for Kafni.

So in the end, Kafni temporarily handed over the power to someone who no one could think of...

——It is the old crow.

It was only then that the Noah nobles finally realized... how close the relationship between the crow family and the demon queen was. She trusts the crow even more than trusting her father!

This move turned into a deterrent.

The crow family holds too many black materials in their hands, but these black materials may not be useful.

Because the ruler is not necessarily willing to listen to...or rather, unwilling to fully believe the opinions of those who completely control the intelligence service.

Because in a sense, they can even control the behavior of the monarch by controlling the intelligence sources-get rid of the people they want to get rid of, save the people they want to save, and suppress the people they want to suppress.

Because of this, many monarchs are very afraid of these existences.

Even if you believe that the other party is loyal, you will not be completely trusted... and even set up special departments and train personnel to monitor and control the other party's authority.

And such a move will also greatly reduce the efficiency of the opponent's actions.

But now, Kafni has used the ultimate means to show how much she trusts in the crow family.

After Kafni left Noah, the Crows did not arbitrarily impose the kingship on their own, but guarded them loyally and silently.

Under this double tacit understanding, Noah had never completely surrendered to the upper-class nobles, but instead chose to submit sincerely because of this-because they knew that they had no chance or ability to resist.

"Is this good luck?"

Maria folded her arms and raised her brows.

"This is actually learned from Annan."

Kafni smiled and replied: "I found that sometimes they don't have to fight against me. It's just that I can't really show the power that can deter them-they will think that what I show is just acting. . This can be regarded as a kind of self-esteem."

"That's true."

Annan used a posture that was quite synchronized with Maria, and nodded confidently with his hands on his chest: "At this time, you have to make a bold move-show your most vulnerable and most defenseless place.

"When they realize, or have tried... even if it is my most vulnerable place, it is not when they can shake it, they recognize the reality and naturally choose to surrender.

"And forgiving this kind of ‘temptation’ is precisely the aura of the king.

"Because I didn't fear them in the first place, and I didn't need to warn others through severe punishments-this action would only be considered a weak move before they realized my strength.

"But if they realize that my strength is completely different from theirs... then this posture will be the last straw to overwhelm the camel."

At the dinner table at Lin Dong's house, Annan and Kafani sat in front of their grandmother.

This can be regarded as a rare reunion dinner in the Lin Dong family-the main thing missing is the old grandmother who has been awake all the time.

"——Speaking of which, I actually had a question before."

The old grandmother asked a little curiously: "Annan...Why were you selected by Miss Lucky? Have you learned how to be a monarch in the original world?"

"I don't know why I was selected..."

Annan thought for a moment, and slowly said, "I do know that my talents are beyond ordinary people... but I don't actually know how different I am from ordinary people.

"Someone said before that I am completely different from mortals, and that this is unnecessary prudence-I can only say that his statement is not comprehensive.

"Before I joined the company, I came into contact with Miss Lucky's clone in our world~www.wuxiaspot.com~ I confirmed that I was a genius. But there are really many people like me in our company..."

Annan thought about it and replied in earnest: "Although I am the chief planner, I am only a small leader in our project team. There are several people with extraordinary talents just what I know and I have contact with. ...My roommate is also one of them. So I don't have any arrogance anymore.

"I even suspect that Miss Lucky's clone founded this company to find an excuse to bring us together. He didn't care if I worked overtime before, probably because he actually didn't care about the'product' that I was responsible for - or, I am the real'product' and it is not impossible.

"Although my colleagues all have outstanding talents. But I believe that the most suitable solution to the problems in the fog world is that I am right. If someone is replaced, he must not be able to do what I am now."

The corners of Annan's mouth rose slightly, and a glimmer of "wisdom" flashed in his eyes:

"I think... they may also be saving other worlds on the River of Dreams in other places, maybe."
