...Annan Winter?

Hearing this familiar name, Celicia's light blue pupils shrank slightly.

— Of course she knew the name.

But that was a long, long time ago...

At that time, Celicia was still a teenager named "Soronic", who followed the teacher "Vladimir" in the hands of winter. As a reservist, Winter's Hand, of course, she also had contact with the son of the grand duke.

Of course... in her capacity at that time, even if she had contact with Annan, she would definitely not be very close.

But even so, she was enough to appreciate the breathtaking [magic nature] in "Annan".

Annan had a nickname at the time, called "Silent One" and "Monster That Leaves No Trace".

He wasn't called the Silence because he was loved by the Lady of Silence—it was the opposite.

Thoronic once handed the young "Annan" evidence of an earl's rebellion in the middle of the night.

Yes...not to Grand Duke Ivan, but to Annan. This evidence was collected by Vladimir himself and handed directly to Solonik, who asked him to give it to His Royal Highness Annan by name.

Not even Thoronic himself had read it.

After receiving the investigation report, Annan just sat silently in the study and wrote something seriously on the paper - when Annan was sitting on the chair in the study of the Grand Duke's mansion, he couldn't even reach his feet.

Just so immature.

Even Solonik, who had an almost fanatical "faith" in Vladimir, could not help but slander:

——Can such a young child recognize all the words in this letter?

"'Can such a young child recognize all the words in this letter?' . . . you're thinking, right?"

At that time, the young Annan suddenly raised his head and stared at Thoronic with tired and calm, almost magical eyes.

It was an emotionless, god-like gaze.

"...So it is, you are such a person."

After taking a few glances at himself, the black-haired child showed a nonsmiley, cold smile: "Because your worthless life was affirmed by him, you decided to sacrifice your life to Vladimir. The future life, and all the loyalty... right."

When these words fell, it was like thunder.

The "Hand of Winter" is a tool that must be absolutely loyal to Winter. It's like protecting the heart with both hands - it is better to hold the blade directly in the hand and lock the incoming dagger with the back of the hand than allow it to pierce the heart.

Thoronic at the time was overwhelmed with fear.

And the child's devilish whisper did not stop:

"Serving Vladimir...instead of Winter? It's interesting. You must have murdered me at this moment. If I guess right, your strength should have far surpassed the Hand of Winter at the same time... ...Is it because you can't pass the wolf kiss ceremony? It's okay, lest you betray in the future, because you know too many secrets and cause trouble."

"Wait, wait a minute!"

The first half made him terrified to the point where his heart froze, and the second half even made Thoronic couldn't help defending himself: "I swear I will never betray you—"

"you will."

With a more certain attitude than Thoronic, Annan said calmly: "Because Vladimir will eventually betray me."

"……Varied--?!"

"I know him better than you. I know you better than you. Naturally, I know you better than him, too. It's so easy to understand... I can even see your end at a glance. Because I'm in another History has seen stories like this."

When the young Annan said such unexplainable words, he threw the reply letter in his hand into the hands of Thoronic, whose brain was chaotic.

"Very riddlers, right? But you'll understand sooner or later."

Annan said.

After that, Annan resumed his silence again,

He flipped through the book without saying a word.

But at this time, Thoronic didn't dare to listen to him again at all - instead, he fled from the study with an embarrassing movement that was almost like rolling and crawling.

That is not the world.

But the abyss inhabited by monsters——

After he handed Annan's reply to Vladimir with a trembling hand, Soronik couldn't help but ask:

"Teacher... will you betray the Grand Duke?"

The moment he asked that, he regretted it.

But Vladimir just glanced at him and replied calmly, "Don't tell anyone what you heard from His Highness Annan."

"Then you mean..."

"—Of course I will."

Vladimir calmly said something completely beyond Thoronic's understanding: "Because of betrayal, sometimes it has its meaning."

"The... meaning of betrayal?"

"You are not the archduke, so you cannot understand."

"Then you..."

"I can be the Grand Duke if he wants."

It's the same outrageous statement.

Vladimir put an end to the day's conversation and disappeared for two days.

At that time, Vladimir's words, until now, have not fully understood by Celicia.

But she still remembers...

Another week has passed since that day.

It seems that the earl who tried to rebel has not appeared for a long time. When people noticed it, they discovered that everyone in the Earl's Palace had committed suicide in the Earl's Palace.

Everyone has left a suicide note, and there is no trace of anyone entering or leaving the Earl's Palace, and there is no trace of fighting. Even with prophetic spells, no trace of spellcasting can be detected, so it can only be judged as suicide.

And the relatives of the earl also happened to be seriously ill, bankrupt, or imprisoned for crimes.

The last person to inherit the title of Earl was a young man from the Hand of Winter. He is a senior brother of Thoronic... and also belongs to Vladimir's faction.

Later, when the Icebreaker Army was formed, the other party was also a noble who provided them with support, and it was naturally liquidated in the future, and the whole family was put into the Frost Beast Army.

——Until now, Cecilia does not understand what happened that day.

But she only knew that it must have something to do with Annan's instructions and the teacher's actions.

So after the teacher's real betrayal, the first thing she can do... is to escape from Frostwhisper far away, to a place where Annan can't see it.

Even now, she occasionally wakes up from a dream of Annan's gaze.

She doesn't worry about being caught, or about being imprisoned. Whether imprisoned or executed, there is nothing to fear for her - as early as a teenager, she was ready to die for her teacher.

But if Annan was in front of her, watching her silently...it would make her tremble with fear.

And now...

I saw that after "Ai Lei" finished talking with Longjing Tea, she turned her head.

"Ai Lei" put her hands together, showing a strange yet somewhat familiar smile to herself.

"Long time no see... Do you remember me?"

She said softly, "Soronic... sir?"
