The Righteous Player(s)

isn’t populated much, hair color and eye color, plus scars and fancy clothes, are all the characteristics to recognize a person.
There is no need to be the same as others, as long as you have gone through the important traits.
Even if two people have different heights, weights, and appearances, it is not too difficult to disguise as another person.”

“Oh, those aren’t really my expertise, unfortunately.” Annan smiled and replied humbly.

After all, he wasn’t the bald head who could disguise as anyone after swapping clothes.

It appeared as if Annan’s looks had greatly improved his rapport with Eugene.
Eugene had been chatting with Annan leisurely for the rest of the journey.
It was a casual chat, so Annan was also cooperative in talking to Eugene.

Annan’s incomparable acting skills and the flattering replies of “Ah, it’s amazing” and “Is there such a saying?” made his rapport points build up even further with Eugene.

Then, Annan quickly noticed something.

Eugene gave Annan a different feeling than the other Geraint brothers.

Eugene didn’t have the cunning and decisiveness of Ferdinand Geraint nor the academic rigor and timidity of Don Juan Geraint.

Instead, he gave off the vibe of a “politician” to Annan.

There could be a possibility that Annan wasn’t building a good rapport with Eugene, but Eugene made him think that their relationship had improved.

Annan’s acting skills were outstanding, and he had a considerable understanding of the minds of others.
Still, he felt that the smile on Eugene’s face was indeed sincere and happy.

Annan felt that Eugene spoke to him with sincerity and from the bottom of his heart.

In a short time, Annan became “friends” with Eugene.

As Annan improved his rapport with Eugene, Eugene also made himself appear more trustable to Annan.

In other words, Eugene seemed to have ways to connect with others easily, gain their trust, and build a good rapport.

These three sons of Old Crow seemed talented.

Annan couldn’t help but be in awe.

After walking through the corridor filled with glasses, the surroundings became normal.
Of course, this normal was more of a relative interpretation.
The luxurious decoration at the caliber of the Palace of Versailles [1] made Annan wonder if the count’s mansion was part of Noah’s palace.

Even Noah’s palace, which Annan saw in his nightmare, was far less artistic than the count’s mansion.

The place was more ornately decorated than the palace.

What is the situation with your residence?

“Where are we going?” Annan asked.

Eugene answered at once, “To see my father.
He is expecting you personally.”

“Master Geraint…” Annan muttered.

Annan showed no signs of timidity nor hesitation after being about to meet the wise man who secretly controlled all the secrets of a kingdom.

“You can also call me ‘Old Crow’ like them, Your Highness.” A gentle voice came from Annan’s side.

An old man with an ordinary face, figure, and voice said happily, “I actually like this title.”

When did he arrive?! Annan was caught in surprise.

“Greetings, Lord Geraint.” Annan raised his brows and politely greeted the old man, “I’m Annan·Austere-Winter.”

“Nolan Geraint.” The old man reached out and shook hands with Annan.

Annan felt the warm and steady grip from the old man’s palm, realizing that this old man was far more robust and vigorous than he seemed.

He didn’t even notice when the Old Crow approached him.

If Nolan wanted to assassinate him, he would be dead by now.

Is this the capability of the kingdom’s top agent?

But when Annan looked at the old man’s face, he was startled.

He had seen the old man’s face before.

It was the “passionate local old man passing by” who gave Delicious Wind Goose a newspaper that day!
