Apocalyptic Dragonborn Lord

Chapter 196 The Silent Man
Why is that Annist having another birthday!

"Didn't I participate in it once last month, why did I come again!" Stannis felt that his fiancée was relying on this to receive another gift in order to make a fortune, but his father-in-law was rich and powerful, and it didn't seem like he was relying on this to make a fortune look like?

"Boss, you forgot, that little chubby girl likes to celebrate her birthday since she was a child! When it was even more extreme, she had to celebrate it once a month, uh, it seems that now is the most extreme time."

Stannis pretended to cry, "Isn't that about to go bankrupt!"

But in fact, the reason why he didn't want to go was because he really didn't know how to deal with this woman who wanted to kill him behind her back. Could it be that the two of them were acting hypocritically like actors?
Bachelor Romond also saw that he didn't want to go at all, so he helped him find a step, "Then you don't want to go if you don't want to go, I will write back to Marquis Frode now, saying that you have been fighting abroad for a long time, and your health has not yet recovered. If you recover, you won’t be able to join us.”

As expected of his chief nanny, he even coded the leave slip, but Stannis still stretched out his hand to stop him, "Wait, I'd better go!"

"But, my lord?" Bachelor Romon was completely confused by his inconsistent attitude.

"My fiancée? I can't bear to keep her in my mouth? How can I not congratulate her personally?" Stannis pretended to be very happy, as if he really liked Anist, "But I won’t prepare any gifts this time, so as not to be robbed of the limelight by some unscrupulous guys, it’s better not to give anything and pretend to be cold.”

After finishing speaking, Stannis hummed a song and left his staff in good spirits.

"Robert, has your brain been damaged in this battle?" Bachelor Romon asked curiously.

Robert waved his hand and said that of course there was no such thing, but he was also very surprised. Could it be that this traverser really fell in love with Annie?

The next day

This is the third time Stannis has come to Baili City, but this time his inner thoughts are quite different.

Because there is a beautiful fiancée wanting his life all the time, it is really unpredictable, why can't we see any real emotion from that girl's pure face like an angel before?
"Boss, are you okay? You have been here for so long, the dinner will start if you don't go in." Robert urged.

Looking at the street that opened like a tiger's mouth, Stannis swallowed. In order to get the information on why Annie killed him like this, Stannis had to go to the tiger's den in person. At least one thing he was sure of was that there were many people. Annie wouldn't kill herself when she was there.But I don't know if the father-in-law Marquis Frode thinks the same way. If he also wants to please his daughter and kills himself, he will be executed on the spot and he can only admit that he is unlucky in the ground.

Soon, two knights in dresses entered the venue, and the banquet had already begun.

At the dinner party, glasses were mixed, and there was an endless stream of guests who came to Annist's birthday party, and the Marquis Frode also doted on his little daughter, and dressed her up like an angel. Stannis found that his fiancée's accessories He changed it again from head to toe, and there were so many heavy gems that he, who was ignorant and ignorant, couldn't name them.

But he has been hiding in the crowd without saying hello to Annie. He is avoiding her on purpose, and secretly looking for her personal maid, Lina, because the woman who has been following Annie seems to know a lot, and he told himself not to Then approach the young lady she serves.

But after wandering around the banquet hall for a few times, Stannis couldn't find the maid, isn't that right?Lina has always been inseparable from Annie.

Just as Stannis kept circling in the hall, he finally caught the attention of the guards. Several people came over and stopped him and kept questioning him if he sneaked in for free.

These words made the lord's nose crooked. He kept emphasizing his noble status, but because these guards were just recruited, he didn't know Miss Anne's fiancé, and he didn't know what the dragon-thrower looked like.

Just when he was about to be kicked out by the guards, a man came and rescued him.

"Soldier, I know him, put him down!"

Stannis looked at the guy, and found that it was the personal bodyguard and secret assassin of the Frood family, Damilian, who appeared behind everyone like a ghost.

It seemed that the guards were terrified of this guy, and they threw Stannis to the ground and drove away.

The lord's delicate butt fell to the ground again, but the guy in front of him didn't seem to help him up at all, but said in a very unfriendly tone: "Just now Miss Annie asked me why you came here Didn't say hello to her."

It turned out that Annie had found out that she was here a long time ago, but didn't she also come to find herself?
"Is there too many people? You will lose half your life if you squeeze through. By the way, I heard that she sneaked to me a few days ago to find me? It was because I happened to be fighting outside and didn't touch her, yes Did you go with her?"

Damian shook his head, "Lina accompanied her. Of course, if I was there, I would never let her go out."

Being so arrogant, Stannis clearly remembered that this guy was just a house slave without even an identity, but it seemed that he was the second head of the Frode family.

"You don't like my wife too, right? That's why you try everything possible to prevent me from having a tryst with my dear little Annie." Stannis said meanly.

His provocative words really angered the silent assassin, or at least made his eyebrows twitch.

"Stannis, it looks like you don't know anything. Annie has..."

"Already what!" Stannis was waiting for him to say, so he deliberately provoked him.

But Damilian immediately shut his mouth and turned away.

"Damn, halfway through the conversation, did your family teach you etiquette!" Stannis still shouted reluctantly from behind.

"He was an orphan since he was a child. My dad adopted him and only taught him to kill people, but he didn't teach him manners."

Stannis couldn't help but gasp, because the person who said that was without a doubt the last person he wanted to see right now.

"Annie, when did you appear behind me?" Stannis changed his face in a second, turning around with a hippie smile.

"No, I just sneaked out from the group of people to get some air. Those guys flattered me with different words, and my ears could hear calluses!"

Although Annie was pouting and acting like a baby, Stannis didn't feel any cuteness at all, and even felt a biting chill.

"I heard that brother Stan's expedition is very difficult and dangerous. He almost died more than once, but he still stole the limelight, and even rescued the little Barrow of the Barrow family. He must be very grateful to you~ ~"

These are some simple words, Stannis' heart almost stopped suddenly, how does this girl know everything, who told her!
"This...that..." Stannis turned his head quickly, and he didn't blink his eyes when he usually made up nonsense. He didn't know why he played so badly today, and he seemed to be going to the gang!
