Alien world

Chapter 91. Chapter 90.
The beautiful countess claimed to have seen Levi's when she was a child, so Annan tried to hide her identity with shyness and shyness.

"Brother An Ning, can you tell us about the Reeves family?"

Sitting next to the countess, the little girl who was only eight or nine years old tilted her head cutely.

"No."

Because Annan himself didn't know.But the girl didn't know that Annan didn't know, so she pursed her pink lips aggrievedly, her eyes glistened with mist.

The Countess exuded maternal love, and gently stroked her soft hair: "The Twelve Kings of the North are the bedrock that protects the North. Many things are secrets, and it is right not to tell you."

"Oh."

The girl wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, raised her head and said cautiously, "I'm sorry, Brother An Ning..."

"Annan."

Annan gently corrected the girl's pronunciation.

"peaceful."

The girl with the missing front teeth spoke in a childish voice, causing the ladies to chuckle.

Annan's slightly rosy cheeks turned pale pink again.

The empathetic countess saw Annan's embarrassment, and explained to him: "Girls, go and enjoy the banquet, our king in the north wants to be quiet."

With a chuckle, the young girls winked at Annan and walked away, taking Della with them.A bold lady slipped a note into Annan's palm while passing by.

"Please sit here, Levi... Sorry, I should call you Your Excellency Annan."

The countess pointed to the sofa next to her.Annan wanted to say no, but he happened to see the gully that appeared when the Countess leaned forward.

"it is good……"

When he was sitting opposite the countess, those white and shiny legs with fluffy skirts stretching out and elegant posture became a new focus.Annan tried to meet the Countess's eyes, but almost fell into those eyes that were like full moons, and the opening and closing of red lips made his mouth dry.Annan had no choice but to climb up the bridge of his nose.

"Sorry, my husband, Earl Morgan, passed away a few days ago, so I didn't have time to invite you as a guest..."

"It's okay." Annan didn't care if it was an excuse or what, and asked casually, "Did the count die because of an accident?"

"No, he is too old..."

The countess wiped the corners of her eyes gently with her handkerchief.

Annan blinked blankly.

"My husband was seriously ill when you were attacked, and he expressed his regret to me after hearing about your incident." The countess looked at Annan sadly and appreciatively, "Morgan has passed away, fortunately, you are fine... "

Annan smiled subtly, as if he felt that this sentence was not right.

"Your Excellency, King of the North, where do you live now?"

"You can call me Annan." Annan replied, "I live in the manor of the wine lady."

It's no secret.Rumors of his affair with the Wine Lady spread along with "The Vengeful Revenant".

"Then you shall also call me Madame, or my name, Maria."

"...Good lady."

The change of address did little to ease Annan's restraint.

"Will you offend that wine lady if you live there?" The Countess was still worried about whether Annan would be made things difficult for her: "And I heard about your attack...Annan, you can temporarily move to the Earl's Manor ? No one here dares to bully you."

"It's okay, Ms. Wine is just like you..."

It was too late when Annan realized that he had said the wrong thing. "Sorry. I mean, my friends will protect me."

"It's okay..." the Countess flashed a moment of loneliness, "Maybe it's a bit abrupt, but Your Excellency Annan, may I ask you something in the name of the Countess?"

"Please say."

"The manor has been empty since my husband passed away. The servants and children are always telling your stories, so can I invite you to the manor as a guest?"

"of course."

Annan could feel the care and love of the countess like an elder—although she seemed a little strange because she was too beautiful.

"How did you meet Ms. Wine?"

"It was an accident. After I was rescued, I worked in a tavern..."

These are also not secrets, and Annan just picks out interesting things that happened in the tavern to tell the Countess.Being alone made her like these stories unexpectedly, and her smile was rippling and sparkling.

"So you changed your name to Annan at this time."

"Yes……"

Fortunately, the countess seemed more interested in the lady of wine than her name: "Is she beautiful?"

"Yes."

"Then is she as beautiful as me?"

The Countess looked forward to Annan's body and raised her head slightly. This action made the slender outline of her neck clearer and more elegant.

"Of course not as beautiful as you." Annan said honestly, "I have never seen your beauty..."

The countess and the lady of wine are like the king and king of playing cards, regardless of appearance, figure or status.

Speaking of poker...

"thanks……"

The Countess chuckled cheerfully. No woman does not like to be praised, and then wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, "After my husband died, I haven't been this happy for a long time."

"I want to give you a present, Annan."

"what?"

Annan, who felt a little dull, sat up slightly, and he was not bored when it came to this.

"The court painter of Wangdu rushed to the manor a few days ago and painted a portrait of my husband. I can ask him to paint a portrait for you as well."

Annan leaned back on the soft sofa.

"Do you not like it?"

Annan thought for a while and said, "Do the court painter's portraits move?"

"It can move..." the Countess' eyes paused on Annan's chest, "Only magic paintings can do it."

Annan could not imagine the meaning of sitting in one place for hours just for a portrait.But the Countess is worth getting to know regardless of her status.

"Since it's your invitation...when?"

"So how is it now? I'm also a little tired..."

"Well... of course."

Annan, who stood up, stretched out his hand to support the countess, but the countess did not let go, but took Annan's arm and walked out under the envious gazes of the surrounding guests.

Annan could feel the Countess's hot body temperature coming from the cloth on his arm.

"I found you!"

A black-haired girl stopped him suddenly.

Annan's memory of the girl from the cannibal family is still fresh: "Do you have anything to do with me?"

"Of course, come with me!"

"Sorry, the Countess and I still have things to do." Annan declined her invitation.

"You must come with me!"

The black-haired girl grabbed Annan's arm.

"Rona Gilman. You should be more reserved and polite." The countess checked her rudeness.

The black-haired girl sniffed at her, feeling disgusted: "Your meat is smelly and old, I don't like it."

The Countess's beauty was blemished by a frown.

dumb--

At this time, the ear-piercing crows interrupted the confrontation between the countess and the black-haired girl.

A fiery afterimage flew into the banquet from the terrace, attracting everyone's attention.

Geoffrey Olmedo, who was smiling and talking with the guests, looked at the fiery red silhouette lingering on Annan's shoulder.

"The Crow Envoy..."
