The wedding of Annan and Kafni was finally held as scheduled in Frostwhisper Province.
Because there was enough publicity before, a week before the wedding, distinguished guests from all over the world arrived one after another. However, neither Annan nor Kafni liked too chaotic occasions, so there were actually not many people at the wedding.
It's not much - in terms of scale, it can even be considered small.
Even counting the staff and waiters, as well as the immediate elders of both parties, the number of people attending the wedding was less than three figures.
On Noah's side, in addition to Kafni's father... as a representative, Eugene Geraint, whom Annan was familiar with, was also sent.
That is, the second son of the Crow family, the second brother of Don Juan. The man who looks ordinary, has a tall and straight posture, and has a "sense of ordinaryness" that is almost devilish, and the future heir of the Crow family.
"Your Majesty Annan."
He came over and bowed respectfully to Annan.
Annan smiled gently and nodded to him: "Long time no see, Eugene."
"When I first met you, I knew that you would definitely do something amazing. When I learned that you had a very good relationship with Her Majesty Kafni, who was still a princess at the time, I actually thought about it in my mind.
This possibility."
Eugene had a complicated expression: "But what I didn't expect was that I guessed it right.
"I heard... you plan to hand over the Principality of Winter to our Majesty?"
"It's just management rights."
Annan chuckled and said, "You don't know, I'm actually very busy."
Hearing this, Eugene nodded thoughtfully.
He then asked: "Are you busy saving the world?"
After Eugene finished speaking, he immediately laughed and explained: "I didn't mean anything else, I was just thinking... There are things that are more important than ruling a country. I can only think of 'becoming a hero' and 'saving a world.'
It’s over.”
After saying that, he saluted Annan again and then pushed away.
Annan realized.
Eugene had already vaguely guessed something.
He used this joking, retreating approach to make innuendoes. By observing Annan's reaction, he knew that he had probably guessed correctly.
So the good bloodline of his Crow family took effect - Eugene immediately realized that the enemies that Annan and Kaifuni valued so much were probably not within his reach.
So he immediately yelled, turned around and ran away without asking.
The so-called wisdom and self-preservation...
——Forget it.
With the help of such smart people, Annan won't have to worry about Kafni.
As for the United Kingdom - the one who sent the gift as Orphi's envoy was none other than Arthur Burning Fang.
One of the nine hells that Orpheus experienced tempered the naive and idealistic poet of the past and made him a qualified king.
And concomitantly, after Orpheus finally became mature and reliable, Arthur finally let go of something... and thus became more calm than before.
The never-ending fire of anger, anxiety, and arrogance in his eyes finally subsided. Today, his eyes are no longer filled with dazzling liquid gold, but are faintly burning like coals, exuding a faint firelight.
But the aura on his body became more condensed.
"I have planned to follow the Pardoner for the rest of my life and atone for all the mistakes I have committed in my past life."
He said to Annan: "So I changed my mind - I don't plan to become the master of the tower. I will still support Orpheus secretly, but I will no longer be the center of aristocratic politics.
"He has grown too much. Even if he doesn't need my help at all, he can still control Danny Sawyer very well... Then my help is a little redundant for him. Just let me watch from afar.
Look at him, look at Danny Sawyer."
Arthur put down a lot of things, just like a monk who suddenly gained something.
He looked much better than when we saw him before.
It was like a person who was always angry, anxious, thinking, and couldn't let go, finally let go of all the things that had been haunting him like a nightmare. In just a few months, he looked like
Became a completely different person.
Whether it was the suffering he had endured, the hostility towards his family, his persistence in changing the political situation in Denisoa, or his inexplicable faint feelings for Selicia... when Orpheus suddenly became stronger, far away
After being far away from him, it no longer mattered.
He suddenly realized that the never-ending flame in his heart had covered up too many things and burned too many things that should not be destroyed by him.
The burning desire, after it gradually subsided naturally... made his soul become more dazzling and brighter.
Just like a burned gem.
When Arthur truly wants to understand what he is living for in the world, perhaps he can ignite a new, purer fire of desire in his heart. Only then may he be able to take the next step forward.
"It's all good things."
Annan nodded happily.
In Winter, in addition to Annan's brothers, sisters, and grandmother... there were also the two giant dragons in Winter.
In addition to the "Barber" on Razor Ridge, this was the first time I saw another giant dragon, Annan.
Her name is "Xixue". In her human form, she has a pair of tranquil pink-blue eyes and white twin tails. She looks like a girl in her early twenties. She seems to be sleepy until she can't open her eyes, and she always speaks softly.
I'm so angry... It's like feeling like someone slapped you awake before you'd had enough sleep.
The representatives sent by the underground city were Neuser, whom Annan was familiar with, as well as Nefertari and Jacob. They had a good relationship with Annan, but they did not know Kaifni, so they did not catch Annan and give him a meal.
Instead of chatting, he nodded in greeting from afar, saluted Annan respectfully, and walked to the corner.
But what surprised Annan was that the Theocracy also sent representatives.
Rather, it is this "Pope" of the Pure Hall, the true ruler of the Theocracy, Mr. Yao's Pope... the holder of the Holy Skeleton [Skull of Honesty], the "Silent Man" Saint.
Peter.
He looked like just an ordinary and low-key short man.
He looks to be in his twenties, only less than a head taller than Annan, with fluffy and slightly curly black hair that almost blocks his eyes. Apart from being less than 1.7 meters tall, he looks like a man wearing a white robe.
Kenshi Yonezu.
As the pope, he did not even wear the most gorgeous and solemn papal robes and scepter belonging to each sect, nor the iconic seven-fold crown of the pope. He only wore the gold-rimmed white clothes that symbolized Mr. Yao's priesthood.
Neither the bishop nor the cardinal wore the distinctive insignia.
Almost no one present knew him.
Not to mention Annan and Kafni, not even Dmitry, Arthur or even Eugene who came from the intelligence service knew him...
In the end, the old grandmother came out to greet him in person, and the guests were slightly shocked to know that this was the pope and saint who had been firmly seated on the throne for more than a hundred years and was currently the longest-lived Pope and Saint - Saint Honesty.
Pope Peter, also nicknamed the "Silent Saint".
He is probably close to one hundred and eighty years old.
But he looks like a young man in his early twenties... just a little autistic.
After meeting Annan, the saint who had been silent for a full one hundred and twenty years suddenly spoke:
"Your Majesty, don't worry, this trip will be successful."
