Chapter 798: Chapter 337 Want to Believe_1

"...So that was how it was."

Annan opened his eyes, his expression somewhat complicated.

Even though he had not entered the third game, Annan had already roughly figured out the situation with Bella.

Bella was indeed not a traitor... in fact, one could even say that she had never truly betrayed anyone.

She did not want to betray Dmitry from the depths of her heart, nor had she approached him in the beginning with the intention of using him. She truly had a passionate love for Dmitry.

—Yet, despite not wanting to betray, and perhaps even without her full awareness of what was happening, she hurt Dmitry and inflicted a heavy blow on Winter.

Annan finally understood why he had suddenly dispatched Vladimir.

It was also thanks to Bella being a fool.

Annan from the first week sharply sensed her irregularity and obtained useful information from the face-to-face questioning. That’s why Annan suddenly dispatched Vladimir... granting him the chance to betray and thereby greatly reducing the losses.

It wasn’t because of the "gentleness" of the conspiracy itself.

But because Annan played along with the plot, using the Wizard’s plot to trigger Vladimir’s conspiracy in due course. He used the aftermath of Vladimir’s conspiracy to thwart the Wizard’s plan to elevate the werewolves’ status.

"Bella really is..."

Longjing Tea was also watching the livestream from Ah Dian’s side on the forum. After finishing, he furrowed his eyebrows and said in as gentle a manner as possible, "Annan wasn’t wrong back then, she is indeed a fool."

"That’s not necessarily true."

Delicious Wind Goose, who had also been teleported by Annan, was in the Grand Duke’s mansion as well.

He seemed even more composed, shaking his head: "We can’t think for Bella using a god’s perspective.

"Not to mention whether Bella comprehended what her child politically meant for Dmitry... it’s clear that she trusted the Wizard Professor quite a lot."

As an agent of the Hand of Winter, it would be normal for Bella to be wary of everyone. Especially since they were not welcomed by the wizards, and she encountered Frederick who had been disowned by the Melvin family in the past.

If Frederick’s reputation as the "Wizard Professor" hadn’t been good enough, she definitely wouldn’t have lowered her guard.

"She never experienced the ’Gemini’ copy, so of course, she couldn’t have known that inside the body of Frederick Wolfheart lay a part of the self cut out by the ’Grey Professor’—Pope Tricino Seti of the tragic playwrights."

It was even the only identity, among those of ’Grey Professor’ Seti, that held the characteristic of ’Pope of the tragic playwrights’.

"Indeed, one can’t blame her," Four of a Kind said wistfully, "she didn’t do it on purpose... In her eyes, she’s even a victim.

"When she wanted a child but couldn’t have one, and was panicked by Vladimir’s threats to betray Winter, the Wizard Professor gave her an ’all-powerful solution.’ This solution could resolve all the difficulties she faced—

"The method would expose Vladimir and the traitorous Hands of Winter, protect Grand Duke Ivan from being killed by the corrupt, preserve Dmitry’s bloodline, and even allow her and Dmitry to have a child. If such a great method had no side effects, she would’ve been suspect herself.

"But the ’Wizard Professor’ understood too well the werewolves’ anxieties, self-doubt, and self-deprecation. Precisely because she would lose a lot by taking this action... she believed in the Wizard Professor."

There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

The werewolves who lived to this age couldn’t possibly be as naive as those young people from privileged backgrounds.

Their first reaction to any temptation was "What should I give in return"?

And because the price was severe enough—potentially causing her to lose Dmitry’s love, possibly ending up in prison, or dying with guilt—she was willing to give it a try.

If given an entirely safe way that seemed flawless,

Then Bella would’ve started to consider what consequences it might lead to.

"Because that’s what she hoped for."

Four of a Kind sighed, summarizing seriously, "She hoped she could have a child with Dmitry... and in her conversation with the Wizard Professor, her not caring so much about whether Dmitry was still capable of having children was actually part of her little selfish desire.

"Because she still feels inferior about being a werewolf and doesn’t believe that Dmitry could marry her. And if she has already successfully borne Dmitry’s child, then Dmitry wouldn’t be able to have children with anyone else—like the girls from those families that Vladimir mentioned. That would actually be a good thing for Bella,"

"So, she would be inclined to believe that ’this is the right way,’ ’this is the only way to solve all the problems.’ It’s not so much that she did it because of the wizard’s lies, but rather, because the wizard saw through her thinking and went along with her ideas. ’People always see what they want to see, hear what they want to hear, believe what they want to believe’..."

He realized that his tone was too serious and immediately explained to the others who were watching him, "By the way, I’m not the one who said that."

Longjing Tea nodded, "I know, it was Guimen who said that."

"But the wizard did deceive Bella."

Annan said slowly, "He had malicious intentions, there is no doubt about it.

"Apart from Vladimir, who tried to control Bella through violence and fear, the wizard also had his schemes. As the Pope of tragic playwrights, he probably was still the Pope of the wolves in the valley..."

Moreover, there was another problem hidden here.

Annan pursed his lips, his expression becoming grave.

Considering the strategy that the Nightmare chose from within the nightmare, it was very certain that Bella would help it in the third round. But it wasn’t one of its followers who took action, it was the wizard...

Only the wizard, could not possibly be a follower of the Nightmare.

And "Annan" had realized this even before summoning the Nightmare.

Why then, did he push the game to the third round?

Why didn’t he explain all this to Dmitry?

"The third round still has to be played,"

Annan thought.

But this was not a problem that could be solved simply.

Among the players, not many fit the condition of being closely related to another and one of them also having a connection with a member of the opposite sex of the same rank. Other than Husky and Thirteen Spices, there were probably only the siblings from Hundred and Twenty-Twelve.

But let’s leave the Four Concealed Triplets aside for now.

Lin Yiyi could probably perform better than Husky, but only by a limited extent. It’s highly unlikely she could lead the nightmare into a hidden ending.

Even if it was a conspiracy of the Nightmare.

Annan planned to enter this nightmare himself to take a look.

To meet the requirements for the use of the key, Annan planned to bring the key to this nightmare to Noah.

—He and his senior had crossed life and death together many times, and their relationship should be close enough.

He wondered if his senior and "senior sister" would be judged as one person or two in the nightmare. If it’s just one person, Annan reckoned he might have to look for Kafney again... He and Kafney were also very close, having known each other since childhood.

Moreover, although Kafney was a fallen one, her current profession was that of a Dragon-monk, only promotable at the silver rank. He wondered if she could be considered the same rank as Annan and his senior...

He would know once he checked when he got back.

—He should go to Noah tomorrow.

Annan slowly drew his gaze back and closed his eyes.

...Although it may be somewhat cruel, after all, it’s digging up old wounds.

But before that, Annan planned to talk to Dmitry about these things.

Especially... the fact that he actually had another child in the world.
