The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 313: Home
"Player Super Justice ()"
Seeing that the "Soufflé"... or "Russell" that I had been looking for for a long time, actually came to Annan.
Dmitri did not feel disappointed, on the contrary, he breathed a sigh of relief.
He just felt relaxed.
The guilt and nervousness of losing the "Soufflé" when escorting the frost beast finally completely disappeared from the bottom of my heart.
Dmitri is very clear... As the first humanoid frost beast with advanced intelligence in history, the frost beast cub renamed "Russell" by Annan is of great importance.
If she falls into any domestic or foreign force that is hostile to the Winter Family, or even to the entire Principality of Winter, she will immediately become a powerful medicine that shakes the entire Principality of Winter. Just announcing her existence can bring thoughts into people's minds that they shouldn't have.
...Although rationally speaking, executing Russell immediately and secretly is the safest and most prudent move, and it is also the move that is most in line with Dmitri's character.
But Dmitri was still a little cruel to her.
"Since you have other plans for her, I will remove all the people on my side."
Seeing that Annan seemed to be quite interested in her, Dmitri simply handed Russell over to Annan.
"I thought you would treat werewolves with an attitude of wanting to be cut into pieces."
Annan said with a smile.
Dmitri curled his lips and said: "Every injustice has its owner. I do despise werewolves, and even get annoyed when I see them, but I won't vent my anger on a child who is less than one year old. ..."
Thanks to the moral education from Grand Duke Ivan, the three brothers were able to become upright people even without positive emotions.
If the Principality of Winter really needs it, Dmitri can indeed be ruthless. After all, he has a frozen heart and no sympathy.
It would be better to say that he always had that frowning and depressed look because he had done too many things he didn't want to do and accumulated too many negative emotions.
Dmitri wouldn't want to hurt anyone if he could help it.
But he is also a pragmatic and rational person. While inheriting his father Ivan's conservative style, he also has his own reserve as an elder brother. So he knew very well that some things had to be done...
But Ivan left too few heirs, and there were some things that neither Maria nor Annan were suitable to do. There will always be someone who carries the stigma and reaches into the darkness.
In the end, only he can do it.
His own talents are far inferior to those of Maria and Annan... After all, his mother is just a real ordinary person without any special talents, unlike Maria and Annan. My mother is an unparalleled genius.
But because of Ivan's poor health, both Maria and Annan were brought up by Dmitry. Dmitri also has a kind of "elderly reserve" towards his two siblings, as if they are not his younger siblings, but a generation younger than him.
Therefore, he had no way to complain.
No one can listen to his distress - the only two people he can completely trust, but he is unwilling to ask for help because of ridiculous dignity issues.
The endless anguish accumulated in the long-term self-conflict...as well as the malice, suspicion and sin that he silently endured, have always been accumulated in his heart.
The flower of evil that grew out of this soil of sin was his deeply furrowed brow.
He is only in his early thirties, but he already has deep wrinkles between his eyebrows. In order to relieve his depression, he continued to smoke and drink every day... If the blood of winter hadn't caused too much harm to the mortal body, he might still be wandering the Fireworks Alley.
This is all Dmitry's self-resolution in order not to release his pressure to outsiders and not to hurt innocent people.
Among the many ways to entertain himself, gambling is the only one that Dmitri vowed he would never touch again.
The moment Dmitri finished speaking, there was a strange silence in the air because Annan did not respond.
Just like in a noisy classroom, everyone shut their mouths without warning and involuntarily, returning to extreme silence in an instant... It may even make people feel awkward like "Is the head teacher here?"
"Dmitri."
At this moment, Maria's voice broke the silence.
She took off her long trench coat and threw it to Dmitri: "Help us get the drinks. Annan's sparkling fruit tea, and my limoncello - you know what I want to add. When it's done, get some nuts and bring them over with you."
"You need me to go..."
Dmitri subconsciously asked Maria: Does he need to do this kind of work himself?
But before he could ask, he suddenly realized...
It seemed like Maria was trying to get him away.
Do you want to talk to Annan alone?
Although Dmitri was also a little curious, his sense of stability as an older brother only made him nod: "I understand. Then I will hang up your clothes by the way..."
After he said that, he grabbed Maria's coat with one hand, stood up and tightened the coat on his shoulders.
"Don't let the smell of cigarette smoke get on my clothes."
Maria added: "If you want to smoke, go hang up my clothes first."
"...I know, I know."
Dmitri coughed, stretched out his hand to fumble for the cigar, raised it abruptly, and straightened his collar stiffly.
Then he walked out on his own.
After Dmitri left the room, Maria suddenly came over.
She hugged Annan directly and buried her face in Annan's neck.
Like sucking a cat, Maria took a deep breath. The long hair swept across Annan's face~IndoMTL.com~ could actually make Annan "smell" the feeling of cold... It was a unique smell that could be associated with "cold" in the mind just by smelling it. The long hair itself was as cold as if it had been in the snow for a long time.
"Well..."
Taking another deep breath, Maria narrowed her eyes in satisfaction.
She stretched out her slender white fingers and carefully touched Annan's cheeks, temples, behind the ears, and neck, confirming the touch with her fingertips. Then he checked the curse marks on his exposed left shoulder very carefully.
"Hand."
Maria said.
"..."
Annan was silent, not daring to say a word, but obediently listened to Maria's voice and held out his hand, like a pet cat putting its paws in its owner's palm.
She held Annan's hand again and observed his curse bearer. Check the texture by touching it with your fingertips to see if it fits properly and doesn't mark your fingers.
Because girls develop earlier, she is four or five years older than Annan. Maria is a little taller than Annan.
But it is only a little higher, less than half a head. When far away, Maria still gives people a petite feeling, but when she gets close, the mature feeling of an elder emerges.
Maria seems to have stayed at the age of sixteen. Her young and petite body forms an extremely strong contrast with her solemn and mature temperament like a queen.
Smelling the cold smell in Maria's scattered hair, Annan felt a sense of tranquility for some reason.
It’s like when my mother comes home after working outside for a long time and checks to see if she has lost weight. There is an unusually calm and warm feeling that makes you want to smile.
...It was only then that Annan realized it very clearly.
He did go home.
