The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 407: Henry VIII
Under the leadership of Kafni, the two did not encounter any obstacles along the way.
This actually surprised Annan.
"...Why is the palace so quiet?"
He looked back at Kaifni and asked curiously: "Is it usually like this?"
"Of course not...and there are a lot more people than usual today."
Kafni whispered.
She looked a little uneasy...and seemed to regret bringing Annan here.
According to common sense, in such an important place as the palace, even if the princess Kafni leads the way personally. But as an unreported stranger, Annan would at least have to be caught and questioned, and he might even be arrested by the Guards.
And Kafni is not the eldest princess Elizabeth after all.
As the default first heir, Elizabeth is virtuous, talented and prestigious. When she brings strangers into the palace, the guards may pretend not to notice—even among the guards, many of them are hers.
After all, she comes from the military.
There are many Guardsmen who were promoted directly from her, and there are also many who are now officers and captains.
But Kafni is just the opposite - although she says she will become a queen every day, no one believes her.
This actually makes sense.
After all, before Kafni met Annan, her erosion was too high, causing Kafni to be chaotic and crazy every day, and her spirit was never very clear.
It is precisely because of this that Dream Stealer Denton was unable to fully grasp Kaifuni's heart - because even he himself was worried that after stepping into the depths of Kaifuni's memory, his soul might will be contaminated.
Although Kaifni has not completely become a real devil...but she is a real madman.
Even the fourth prince himself would occasionally feel a strong sense of fear when looking at Kaifni.
But ordinary people will feel creepy, muscle twitching, and strong vomiting due to fear just by looking at her. Some even weak-willed people have been frightened by Kafni and have become incontinent...
It's like being targeted by some monster.
Under such circumstances, it is natural for people to fear, alienate and even hate Kafni. The fourth prince was controlled like a marionette and could not do anything to help Kafni...even he himself would be afraid of this daughter.
It was only recently that after staying with Annan for a long time, her mind gradually became clearer.
At the same time, Philip continued to destroy and interfere with Kaifuni's interpersonal relationships.
But everyone they met on the road today was well-behaved and didn't look sideways. The guards standing on both sides even had their armors and weapons polished to a shine.
"...That's it."
Annan reacted quickly, gently held Kafni's hand, and comforted: "Don't panic, I already understand."
It should be Earl Nolan, who has reported to Henry VIII that Annan is about to come to the palace.
After all, they have been staying at Count Geraint's house these days. The most important responsibility of Count Geraint is to pass important information directly to Henry VIII.
Although Annan said nothing, Kafni immediately believed Annan.
She calmed down with a sigh of relief and nodded slightly.
But Annan's expression was slightly serious.
If Henry VIII already knew his identity...
Then I will no longer be Kafni’s friend and go to meet her grandfather...
——Instead, as the future heir of the Principality of Winter and the upcoming Duke of Winter, he met directly with King Noah.
Annan quickly calmed down, and after passing through the front hall, he directly entered the second floor of the main hall from the spiral staircase on the west side.
The first floor of the main hall is the banquet hall that Annan saw when he came to Noah when he was a child. You can look down from the handrail on the second floor - Annan can even see the place where he exploded Philip's head.
Of course, in the real timeline, Annan has never done such a thing... But this does not prevent Annan from suddenly feeling excited and nostalgic when he sees that place.
It was the excitement of "Oh, I know this place."
It’s like after playing Abi’s game, when you travel abroad, you feel like “I have been to this place in my previous life”, and even suddenly have the urge to climb on the roof.
Annan followed Kaifni and moved clockwise along the corridor.
The second floor of the main hall is a circular passage, which can allow about six to seven people to pass side by side. On the left is a wall with many portraits, and on the right is a hollow railing. This channel has a total of eight directions, which are spaced 45 degrees apart. Looking down from directly above, it looks like a brilliant sun emblem.
The sense of its design is that every nineteen steps you can see a tall, strong, and fully armed guard standing guard. First one on the left, then one on the right, then one on the left.
But there are no guards blocking every entrance to the inside. And there must be a guard standing at the railing on the right, watching inside.
What surprised Annan the most was...
When these guards saw Annan, they silently clenched their hands into fists, lightly knocked on their hearts, and lowered their heads.
——This is a courtesy reserved for people in the cold winter.
If they could speak at this time, they would probably add "Grandma loves you, my brother" at this time.
Just looking at this scene made Kaifni nervously squeeze Annan's hand.
"...I, I don't know this..."
She explained in a low voice like Annan.
Annan shook his head slightly, signaling her not to panic.
He completely understood what Kafni meant - Kafni said ~IndoMTL.com~ that she did not notify Annan's identity in advance.
But now the situation is obvious.
I am afraid that it is not just Henry VIII who knows Annan's identity... I am afraid that this matter will be known to everyone within this day.
Even the guards knew about it, and the eldest princess and Prince Philip must have known about it.
Why did Henry VIII reveal his identity?
If they plan to do anything detrimental to Annan...then they must not reveal Annan's identity. The concept of doing harm to Annan without "knowing" his identity is different from doing harm to him when his identity is known.
Of course, whether they know or not is not whether they really know.
——But whether the external evidence can show that they "already knew".
They walked around the corridor on the west side, and after passing three corridors, they walked towards the northernmost entrance.
Go all the way to the end, which is the king's residence - first the study, and the next room from the study is the bedroom.
After Annan and Kafni walked into Henry VIII's study, they finally saw the king who was "said to be dying of old age".
But after seeing him, Annan was shocked.
The short black hair, the dark red pupils like dried blood... Henry VIII looked like the fourth prince who was more than ten years older.
These are two almost identical people.
And he is really too young - much younger than Annan imagined.
He looks to be in his early forties or fifties... If you didn't tell him clearly, you would even think that he was the fourth prince's brother.
...Is this the person who everyone thinks is going to "die of old age"?
There is more later, but I am writing...
