The Righteous Player(s)

That is absolutely genuine hostility.

Doreen can be sure.

This is also one of the survival skills of rural werewolves.

In order to prevent yourself from inadvertently getting into troublesome people, or to prevent being attacked by people while walking in a small alley. Werewolves are very sensitive to the hostility of others.

At the moment when she perceives the danger, the entire world in front of Doreen's eyes instantly turns dim yellow.

The flow of time slowed down drastically, everything that was still blurred... and everything that was still moving in front of my eyes became extremely clear and bright.

This ability to predict danger is also one of the racial characteristics of werewolves.

...But there is also a situation.

It's like now.

Even though the crisis was sensed, nothing appeared in front of Doreen. In her vision, nothing seemed to be moving except for the wind blowing the curtains.

Doreen peeked to the sides.

Naturally, she can't see anything, who is not a transcendent.

Obviously she felt being watched by many people, she was clearly aware of the strong hostility and even killing intent, but she couldn't find where they were at all.

"Doreen?"

Annan urged again.

"……Yes."

Doreen responded with some trembling, her vertical pupils shortened again and returned to round pupils, and swallowed hard at the same time.

With the cold gaze behind her, she slowly opened the door.

Annan was not the first thing that came into view.

It was a middle-aged man with many deep purple lines on his skin, thin cheeks and deep eyes.

He has short, gray hair that is meticulously combed backwards. His hair became very slender, just like his own. He didn't seem to be in very good physical condition. He was sitting on a chair, leaning on a scepter that was divided into three colors of silver, black and dark blue, supporting the ground like a sharp claw.

His pupils were the same ice blue as Annan's right eye. His face is roughly 70% similar to Annan.

But his pupils are lighter than Annan's eyes... It's not so much ice, it's egg white. It is slightly yellowish, which emphasizes the sense of transparency.

...Is this the Duke of Winter?

Doreen realized his identity in an instant.

It is the legendary Ivan Winter.

"You are Doreen."

Ivan's voice was calm, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

It is different from the bitter feeling that Annan gives people-if Annan is a translucent ice surface, it gives people a sense of danger in calm and calm. Then Ivan seemed to have accumulated a thick layer of snow on the ice lake.

All the sense of danger is hidden under the deep snow.

But at the same time, Ivan gave people a wonderful sense of distance and awe.

It's just like……

Under the snow, many corpses were hidden.

"...Yes, Your Majesty."

Doreen's original anxiety and fear quickly became calm under Ivan's eyes.

She nodded, knelt on the ground, lowered her head and responded softly: "My name is Doreen Angel."

"Ok."

Grand Duke Rin Dong responded softly and nodded slightly.

He suddenly asked, "Do you know Bella? She is also a werewolf."

"……do not know."

Doreen thought about it seriously and shook her head.

"That's it."

Ivan sighed softly and waved his hand: "Sit down, kid."

"—Please sit down."

The female voice exactly the same as Annan had just entered the door sounded behind Doreen.

But she didn't freak out her hair this time—perhaps because her original emotions had already reached the limit, and this sudden attack was unexpected.

She turned her head and saw the owner of that voice this time.

It was an adult woman who looked about in her early thirties and had the same hair color as the dark blue on the Duke's scepter.

On her left ring finger, she wore a transparent ring that was constantly exuding chills. It's like being carved from ice.

...Is this the high-level of Winter's Hand?

Doreen's heart tightened.

She had heard from the teacher before that the ten high-level responsibilities of Winter's Hand.

The ring finger of the left hand is directly responsible for all the house affairs of the prince including food, sex, travel and dressing. Roughly the status is equivalent to the United Kingdom's "no need to public"-that is, the **** of King Denisoya, and the court status is quite high.

There is no doubt that this is also a big man.

When Doreen got up, he hurriedly saluted her respectfully.

This made the "ring finger" stunned for a moment, and then the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and his eyes seemed to become milder.

She put her left hand on Doreen's shoulder, and silently pointed her right at the seat in the corner of the room.

Although the life of the Duke of Winter is simple, it is not dilapidated. It is said that it is a chair, but it is actually a soft and cold sofa made of frost animal fur.

In the scorching summer, you can cool the whole body just by nesting in it. But this season is not too hot... Fortunately, werewolves are not very cold.

Doreen shrank in her chair and habitually looked around in the room.

She soon discovered the portraits of two women hanging on the head of the bed.

A pretty girl with black hair and a gentle smile, with her hair draped in front of her left shoulder and braided at the front.

The other is almost exactly the same as Annan-she has beautiful long silver hair, secured by a headband. And her expression is even colder than Annan, and her temperament is also very cold, giving people a noble feeling.

This should be Annan's biological mother, right?

Speaking of it, both generations of the wives of Grand Duke Ivan seem to have passed away.

... They all married the grand duke voluntarily.

Doreen pursed her lips.

Because Grand Duke Ivan is not an extraordinary person, but his talent is high and scary... This has caused each of his partners to not live long. Just like himself.

Of course, there are not few nobles who have long coveted the bloodline of the Winter family.

However, not everyone can experience the test of the old grandmother.

The old grandmother is also the **** of tradition.

She doesn't care if they love each other... if it is natural to love each other, but if it is not a free love, then at least the parties must agree-this is true for both men and women.

Because forced marriages are the seeds of instability. It may mean that one party is close to the other party with unpredictable heart, which will bring about the integration and separation of power after the birth of the heir, and after the death of both parties, this complex lineage will lead to "instability."

Instability is the biggest impact on tradition.

Therefore, there are few large-scale marriages in the Principality of Winter-the nobles care more about each other's health and ability. Because this will affect the children, and directly affect the inheritance of the family.

This is especially true of Grand Duke Ivan.

His first wife was just a civilian. Not an extraordinary person, nor a ritualist, but just ordinary old grandmother believers.

And she also knew at the time that Grand Duke Ivan had a cursed physique. But she is still willing to marry Ivan.

——Not willing to marry the Grand Duke, but to Ivan.

But true love will not change reality.

After she gave birth to two children, she died of illness.

And the second child of the Grand Duke died before he got the name.

If the Principality only has the heir "Dmitry", it is not stable. And if there are no female heirs, who can the Tower of Storms inherit?

Not to mention, Dmitry's talents can only be regarded as mediocre at best. He worked very hard, but he was indeed not smart enough, not strong enough, not even extraordinary.

At this time, an aristocratic girl directly boarded the Grand Duke’s Mansion and bluntly said that she would marry the Grand Duke.

She has no relationship with Grand Duke Ivan, and has never even seen Ivan before.

However, she is not greedy for glory and wealth, let alone status. She really wanted to marry the Grand Duke...not to Ivan.

Her purpose was pure and simple, but it was difficult for Ivan at the time to accept it.

--Yes it is.

Just for the Principality of Winter.

When she first met, she explained that Dmitry’s ability could not inherit the Duchy of Winter-with the tense situation of the duchy at that time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If Dmitry inherited the duchy, his ability would not be able to suppress all nobles, It will only cause divisions within the Principality.

"——It is the nobles who are fighting, the civilians who are killed and wounded, and Winter is the one who destroys."

She said so.

Therefore, before the Grand Duke dies, he must be used to "make" a stronger heir for the Principality of Winter; at the same time, in order to allow his future daughter to continue his mission of endless storms.

The daughter of the storm at that time was Ivan's aunt. She is already very old, and this is also the only female blood heir who has the "Heart of Winter". To prevent the Tower of Storms from being unable to suppress it, it can only find the Son of God from the religious country-and this also means the transfer of power.

Ivan was very resistant to this kind of marriage at first. He refused three times, even with a dislike for this powerful girl.

But later, he was impressed by the other's wisdom, vision and mind.

——If the opponent has the blood of Winter, he will definitely become a better Duke than himself.

Ivan realized this.

And they quickly became friends-not lovers, but friends of the opposite **** who can entrust everything to talk about the world and politics. This was also a good story at the time.

The many extremely effective and long-term policies of Grand Duke Ivan came from his second wife.

In the end, they got married later.

This is Ivan's second and last wife.

A total of four children were born, two of which survived the curse of Winter's Heart. And in the end, as a powerful ritualist, she did not support Ivan's increasingly powerful frost and cold power. Like Dmitry's mother, she died between the beds.

Doreen remembered that this heroic woman was born in the Rasputin family.

She seems to be called...

Anya Rasputin.
