In her eyes, a vague displeasure and wariness were vaguely visible, flashing past. If Annan hadn't been paying attention to her expression, he would have missed it.
Then, Elizabeth quickly showed a gentle smile that was very similar to before, and said softly: "I can handle it, Philip. You can take care of His Highness Annan."
"Oh~"
Philip smiled with an unknown meaning and made a long drawn sound.
He chewed the milk candy that was beginning to melt, and he could even hear the squeaking sound. The smell of milk filled his mouth, and he could even see droplets splashing on Elizabeth's clothes with the sound of his chewing.
Philip smiled and took out a few candies from his pocket and handed them to Elizabeth: "So - Sister Wang, do you want some candies?"
"It's business, Philip."
Elizabeth had calmed down, maintained a gentle and generous smile, completely ignored Philip's rude behavior, and said slowly: "You are not allowed to participate."
"Oh~"
Philip nodded in agreement and grinned: "That's what Sister Wang said.
"After all, I am an idler."
There was no unpleasant expression on his face, he just maintained that cheerful smile, turned around and walked back, sitting next to Annan.
He stretched out his hand to remove the candy coating and patiently put each candy into his mouth one by one. Elizabeth did not explain a word to Philip, but turned around and left with the guards.
Annan sat quietly next to him, watching the two people fighting overtly and secretly. Not only did he not feel nervous at all, but he was very interested... and even had some unfinished thoughts.
The taste is right! This taste is right!
Seeing such harmony among the three brothers, Annan thought that all the royal families in this world were painted in this style. Now when he saw the Noah royal family... Annan, who liked to watch the excitement, suddenly became excited.
This is what the intrigue between the royal family's children tastes like!
However, these two people are not very good at speaking weird words.
He obviously wanted to say some weird words, but in the end he came out with such weak words... At this level in Zu'an, we can't protect our family.
——But then again.
The conflict between Philip and Elizabeth did not scare Annan.
But the way Philip was eating sweets made Annan feel a little physiologically uncomfortable...
This big brother... your chatting is too useless, isn't it?
From the moment he sat next to Annan, he had already eaten nearly twenty candies in less than three minutes, and on average he would get three more after just one sentence...
This degree of abnormality is obviously not something that can be explained by "loving sweets".
Annan looked down at the candy in his hand and peeled off the candy coating with one hand.
This candy looks similar to the size of Wangzai Milk Candy. It shows a milky white color with a slight yellowish color.
He waited for a long time, but the light curtain was not triggered.
——Then it is not a spell, or even a potion.
What the hell?
Is this actually real candy?
Annan looked at it in disbelief, then looked at Philip who was chewing the candy hard.
Philip noticed Annan's gaze and smiled cheerfully at him: "Eat, it's delicious!
"Don't worry, it's made from condensed milk, cream, syrup, honey and brown sugar. It doesn't contain any magical ingredients and anyone can eat it."
Philip said, laughing happily.
Annan could clearly see the extremely viscous syrup hanging on Philip's neat white teeth. As he breathed heavily, the extremely rich fragrance of milk and honey filled his surroundings.
Because Philip and Elizabeth had just appeared, people around had noticed this. Annan could not take action at this time, so he could only continue to hold the gun in Kaifuni's skirt pocket with his left hand, and asked Philip politely. road:
"Do you like sweets, Your Highness Philip?"
"Of course!"
Philip replied cheerfully: "I like to eat sweets, and I also like to eat meat! My favorite is honey barbecue - young people like to eat sweets and meat!"
He looked at Annan kindly and said again: "You can call me brother, or your highness. But you can't call me uncle! Do you think I look like an uncle?"
After saying that, Philip patted his delicate-skinned face very proudly.
In fact, it is.
Philip had thick hair, fine skin, and no wrinkles could be seen on his forehead. Unlike his brother Albert, Philip's beard was cleanly shaved... He didn't even wear any jewelry.
If he had changed into younger clothes, with his voice and mental state, it would be possible to identify him as a teenager in his late teens.
...Is Philip so concerned about his youth?
There were about ten minutes left before the banquet started, and Annan planned to continue to inquire about Philip's secrets and habits.
"Your Highness, you look to be less than twenty years old at most."
Annan made a childish voice.
It is a very false compliment in the eyes of ordinary adults, but if paired with Annan's serious and translucent eyes, like a milk cat, it will become extremely convincing.
Hearing Annan's words, Philip couldn't help laughing out loud, without any royal image at all.
A man who looked close to fifty years old and had an old-fashioned and calm temperament couldn't help but reprimanded: "Philip, lower your voice!"
"Yes, yes~"
Philip drawled and replied nonchalantly.
When the man shook his head, frowned and left, Philip leaned into Annan's ear and pointed at the man with his chin: "This is my second brother... looks like your brother, right? They are both the same person.
"And you," said Philip, pointing to himself, "and I. We are the same kind of people. Happy—we are both happy."
Annan didn't show any flaws.
Hearing Philip's evaluation, he just looked over with some confusion: "I don't quite understand."
——wdnmd.
Annan couldn't help but cursed in his heart - fortunately, Annan's Heart of Winter curse was now covered with the reverse version of his body, allowing him to ignore the fear. Otherwise, just that sentence would scare him. His heart stopped.
The specialty of this Noah family is that everyone has spiritual vision?
"You will understand, Your Highness Annan."
When Philip heard this, he just smiled and whispered in a slightly bewitching voice: "Pleasure... I can see that you have an unfettered soul that pursues pleasure. If you feel depressed one day, you want to get rid of it." Break free from the chains that bind your destiny... You can come to me whenever you want.
"I will grant you the secret to pleasure."
"...Cup Holder Girl?"
Annan asked in a low voice.
Philip smiled: "Of course.
"Facing the path of blood and desire, Your Highness Annan. Human beings are machines driven by passion... How is life without passion different from that of a doll?"
"So, what is it that you are pursuing?"
Annan asked further.
Philip was silent for a moment, and then said calmly: "What I pursue is naturally [youth]."
"youth?"
"you do not understand."
Philip took a deep breath and shook his head.
Annan just continued to ask: "Is it youth and immortality?"
Hearing Annan's question, Philip fell into thinking for a moment.
But that was just a brief thought that lasted a breath.
He soon showed his trademark cheerful smile.
He took out a few more candies from his arms and stuffed them into his mouth.
"I...I want it all."
Philip smiled slightly and replied in a low voice: "I don't want to grow old. As long as I experience it once, I will never do it again..."
At this moment, continuous explosions suddenly came from outside, completely covering up Philip's voice.
These were not explosives - they were fireworks that were set off in succession at the entrance to the palace.
The fireworks show begins.
Annan silently clenched the gun in his hand, turned around and looked at the entrance behind him, pretending to be watching the excitement.
Feeling Annan's movements, or the two getting closer because of Annan's movements... Kafni, who had remained silent, subconsciously tightened her body.
