He saw Annan standing in front of him, his back turned to him, deep in thought.
Kafni's crystal red eyes were full of worry, mixed with a little fear.
——It is the fear of being abandoned and denied.
Just a few words - without even confronting Philip himself.
Through extremely subtle traces, Philip's overall plan can be deduced in reverse. Even his reform methods after he succeeded to the throne, as well as the political situation of the Kingdom of Noah decades later, can be guessed.
This is not the wisdom that mortals can possess.
Although Annan has not officially obtained the power of elements yet.
But there is no doubt that this level is already a sign of the deep awakening of the [wisdom] element.
If Annan doesn't plan to help her...
No, I should say.
If Annan hadn't been standing behind her, Kafni's courage that seemed to dare to fight against everything would have been like a tree without roots and water without a source.
She had no confidence in herself to begin with.
Because of this, when her brothers and sisters thought she was a crazy girl and a monster, she made no excuses, asked for help, or resisted... she just hid silently in a deserted corner and continued painting.
It was during the grand dark ritual "The Great Hunt of Destiny" that she met the strong, just and wise young Annan.
He is obviously about the same age as me... only less than half a year older than me.
But Annan is so courageous and powerful——
When no one knew about his achievements and would never even have the chance to know the truth, Annan did not choose to gloat about his misfortune and escape, nor did he turn around to add insult to injury to the entire top management of the "neighboring country".
Instead, he resolutely risked his life and destroyed the ritual arranged by the villain.
Saved everyone including Kaifni.
But these people should be meaningless strangers to Annan——
This is what Kafni thought at the time.
——That is a hero that no one knows and no one sings about.
It was precisely because of this that she was shocked by that bright soul.
Just yet gentle. Strong yet wise.
...like a father and like a mother.
The father who is even timid towards Kaifuni and even wants Kaifuni to save her, and the vicious mother who treats Kaifuni as an unconscious tool and manipulates her at will.
At that time, Annan was a hero and an "idol" to Kaifni.
It was by relying on the [Eye of Frost] given to her by Annan that Kafni was able to successfully protect herself; and by imitating Annan's behavior and thinking patterns, she was able to escape from the "Dream Stealer" Denton.
That's right.
It was Annan who gave her the courage to fight against all these evil intentions - and the confidence to defeat them all.
It would be nice if Annan could praise her.
However, Annan was affirming Philip's strategy and praising his wisdom.
...Now Annan is the Duke of Winter.
She must have the same status as him in order to have the courage to continue to follow him - not to mention, she wants to do much more than that.
She wants to protect Annan, and even more, she wants to own Annan. But under these conditions, Annan still stands with her.
But what if her value to Annan is not even as good as Philip's...
Kafni suddenly felt strongly uneasy.
——What else can I give to Annan?
It was only then that she suddenly realized.
The wisdom she was praised by people was simply a "shadow" obtained by imitating Annan; and her strong will was nothing compared to Annan who could withstand the curse of the Heart of Winter; she had been purified and corroded twice by Annan.
After the speed, Kafni has reached the threshold of the gold level, but Annan's men don't seem to lack the fighting power of his level.
...it seems like nothing is unique.
The moment she realized this, Kafni's greed for Annan dissipated a lot. In the blink of an eye, it softened into soft and waxy attachment and admiration.
"His Majesty……"
Kafni murmured softly.
Subconsciously, Kaifni wanted to reach out and touch Annan's back.
But the moment her fingertips touched Annan's back.
A cool and delicate touch spread to her fingertips through the white robe presented by Yin Jue. It was like cold jade wrapped in silk... Kafeni's fingertips couldn't help but tremble.
He timidly took his hand back.
However, at this moment, Annan felt Kaifuni's touch and turned around immediately.

Kafni's fingertips thus passed over Annan's skin more clearly, and Annan held her hand just before falling.
"……However, although."
Annan whispered in a troubled voice: "It's a little itchy..."
This action is too ambiguous. It feels like I am being teased...
If I were a girl, then this would definitely be harassment.
However, it is a pity that Annan is already an adult male - Lingdong is an adult at the age of fifteen. Kafni is an underage girl instead.
After turning around, Annan immediately noticed Kafni's gaze.
As frightened as a cub separated from its mother.
There seemed to be a layer of water vapor in the ruby-like transparent pupils.
It was just a very brief look at each other.
Annan immediately looked past the evidence and process and understood what Kafni was thinking at this moment.
"No need to worry. No need to worry."
Annan held Kafni's hand and squatted down in front of her.
Then he felt a little uncomfortable, so he changed to half-kneeling like a knight.
Seeing this gesture, Kafni's ruby-like eyes widened slightly.
Annan comforted him in a gentle voice: "Even if I recognize Philip's plan and talent, I will still choose to support you. After all, I came all the way from the cold winter just to help you -"
Don't wait for Annan to finish.
Kafni immediately jumped down from the sofa.
She hugged Annan's shoulder with her left hand and put her head on Annan's left shoulder. Annan did not resist Kafni's kitten-like attack, but tilted her body back slightly and leaned on the table.
Worried that the back of Annan's head would touch the edge of the table, the moment Kaifni rushed over, she put her right hand on the back of Annan's head, letting her right hand touch the edge of the table first.
Her physique was far inferior to that of Annan, so that a red mark appeared instantly.
Annan was a little overwhelmed by this, and also a little confused and confused.
——Why such a big reaction all of a sudden?
He sighed helplessly and stretched out his left hand to hold Kafni's back to prevent her from falling off him.
But he was worried that his upright knee would hit Kaifuni, so he subconsciously opened his upright left leg forward and pressed it against the sofa.
At the same time, he stretched out his right hand backward and rested his elbow on the soft and warm cashmere carpet.
The long black and white hair are intertwined like a two-color cocoon... one side is warm, the other side is cold.
At the moment when she lost control of her emotions, Kaifni buried herself in Annan's arms and regretted it almost instantly - she was worried whether such an overstepping behavior would make Annan think that she was a frivolous girl.
But now that she has pounced...she no longer cares so much.
The boy with indifferent eyes who stretched out his right hand to her in the sea of crystal flowers once again appeared in Kafeni's eyes.
The boy who dared to reach out to his monster child, who had a frighteningly low body temperature and whose mind was as terrifying as a never-ending snowstorm.
——That must be a more powerful monster.
It's a wolf that lives in the ice fields... No, maybe it's a frost-winged dragon.
This was the thought that emerged in Kafni's mind at that moment a long time ago.
Can I really protect such a powerful monster?
Can I do it?
Kafni closed her eyes and knocked Annan down, thinking subconsciously in her heart.
——You feel so terrible. I have never seen such heavy snow...
