fairy tale villain interpretation task

Prince William's face was a little ugly, he glanced at Anne without showing any signs, and did not speak.

As if he didn't hear it, the Duke picked up the napkin and nodded his mouth expressionlessly, then wiped the black swan's mouth, and then raised his head indifferently.

Anne and Duke Howard didn't meet many times, once at the wedding, once at Her Majesty's birthday ball half a year ago, and once at Her Majesty's birthday party two months ago.Including yesterday, it was the fourth time.

However, although there are not many opportunities to meet, this man's sense of existence is not diminished by his low profile.

He is the only son of the queen's elder brother. After losing his parents for some reason when he was young, he naturally inherited his father's noble title and rich and vast territory.At that time, the queen was pregnant with the eldest son, and under the urging of overwhelming maternal love and sense of responsibility, she brought him from the territory to the palace. Since then, the duke has been living in the palace almost as the third prince until he was 16 years old. Just left.

Duke Howard spends half of his year fighting for the Gothatch Kingdom, and the other half is busy traveling.He has a noble status, but he is always wandering around without a fixed place. Prince William once asked him why he made himself so homeless. one person."

This man always comes and goes in a hurry, taciturn, almost all the trifles and invitations on the territory are taken care of by the butler sent by the queen. He seems to have been traveling outside the circle of nobles in the court, but whenever he speaks, it is unacceptable. Doubts and definitive answers are completely non-negotiable.

He has an innate aura of majesty, and his face is as cold as the snow on Kadipe Peak all year round. Except for a very few people, his tone of speech is uniformly short and perfunctory.

At this time, he didn't even say a word, and with an almost invisible arc at the corner of his mouth, he stood up and walked away with the black swan in his arms.

Annie's delicately made-up face suddenly changed color.

Prince William slowly put down the knife and fork, and turned his head to Annie. His eyes were rare and sharp, cutting off her forehead inch by inch, as if he was meeting her for the first time.

"When did you start liking swans," he said flatly, "Why didn't I know?"

Annie's lips moved, but she didn't speak.

"Don't covet your cousin's things, dear Anne." William said with some unknown emotion in his voice, raising his hand to put a strand of broken hair back behind Anne's ear, "I don't like you like this .”

Annie hurriedly said: "I didn't! I just thought that swan was very beautiful..."

"I don't like your lying either."

Annie choked for breath, her face pale and pale.

Prince William withdrew his hand, got up and left without hesitation.

There was a dead silence in the spacious and gorgeous restaurant, and the attendants standing in the corner looked like a row of living dummies with lowered eyebrows.Annie was sitting at the dining table alone, staring blankly at the exquisite leftovers on the table.

William quickly caught up with Howard, watching him hold the black swan in his arms like a baby, with a look on his face that looked like he had been forced to eat a whole egg raw.

Probably because of family reasons, his cousin was precocious since he was a child, and he rarely showed any concern for certain things.It's rare to like a swan now, even if it seems to damage his previous image, William still intends to hypnotize himself to pretend not to see it.

He tried his best to ignore the black swan, and said solemnly: "Shall we go to exercise in the afternoon? Hunting, or jogging?"

The Duke raised his bandaged hand to him blankly.

"..." The corner of Prince William's mouth twitched, "You suffered a lot more injuries on the battlefield than this, and it didn't affect your ability to kill people."

"No." The Duke said without squinting: "I mean Kevin is injured, I want to accompany him."

Prince William:"……"

Black Swan:"……"

Prince William finally couldn't help stretching out a hand to grab his cousin's arm: "Wait a minute, tell me clearly, who is Kevin?"

Howard condescendingly gave him a look, as if looking at a mentally retarded person.

"Don't tell me that Kevin is the swan!" Prince William looked like he was going to be a puffer fish, pointing at the black swan tremblingly, almost poking his finger on the black swan's head.

Howard didn't bother to answer, and deftly broke away from his pull, and continued to stride towards the bedroom, quickly leaving the almost petrified Prince William behind.

"This is really..." Prince William looked at his obviously brisk back, with an indescribable expression on his face, and murmured: "...Howard is crazy, I must tell the queen mother!"

An Yunze: "Howard is definitely Blake, if it's not me, I'll take your surname."

ID 963: "..."

"Otherwise how do you explain the name 'Kevin'?"

"..." Number 963 struggled and said: "This may also be a coincidence, after all, Kevin is not such a strange name..."

"Don't deceive yourself," An Yunze said coolly, "Face the reality, three digits."

ID 963: "..."

When did this guy get so sharp-tongued? Fuck!

The black swan named "Kevin" enjoyed unparalleled personal service for the next half a day - Howard specially spared one hand to hold the black swan, and insisted on holding it in person no matter where he went, Even worse, you feed it pureed meat bite by bite at dinner.

"Black swans are vegetarians and cannot eat meat." Number 963 said in a half-dead tone.

An Yunze squinted his eyes with peace of mind, enjoying the delicious food delivered to his mouth, and ignored it.

After nightfall, Annie had another nightmare.When she screamed and rolled off the bed, she was already pale in the east.

She pushed away the person who came to help her in embarrassment, staggered and stood up while grabbing the bed curtain, and was about to run to the door while saying William's name.

The personal maid was holding a letter, and just at this moment, she pushed open the door, and immediately stopped her.Annie couldn't get out of the struggle, she slapped the maidservant suddenly, and said in a stern tone, "Get out of here!"

The maid's eyes were red, but she didn't dare to let go, she hurriedly said in a low voice, "His Royal Highness, please calm down, if you go to see His Royal Highness in this state, he will definitely not be happy."

After Randall's death, William didn't care about the candidate for the prince and concubine. He had only one requirement for the other party-to be a qualified prince and concubine.

She wants to be dignified and generous, to be graceful and luxurious.

Instead of running around the palace like a lunatic before the sun rises.

Thinking of this, Annie gradually calmed down. She knelt down on the carpet as if she was exhausted, and covered her face without making a sound for a long while.

The slap marks on the maid's face had quickly turned red and swollen, and it hurt like a pinprick.Resisting the urge to touch, she handed over the letter, "Your Highness, Odette has replied."

Annie slowly raised her head, numbly took apart the wax, and after just a glance, she received another blow——

Princess Lani had been missing for three days, the queen was overwhelmed with grief and fell into a coma, and Prince Hugh was on his way back to the palace, about two days away.

Annie stared at the letter in disbelief, her face pale.

"When William wakes up, tell him..." Annie said weakly, "I'm going back to Odette...I'll go back myself."

She didn't care what happened to the queen, and she didn't care where Hugh was. She just wanted to know if Lannie's disappearance was related to Randall.

Has Randall already begun revenge?

Naturally, Prince William would not let his wife go on the road alone. He quickly ordered someone to pack up, sent a letter to the capital, and then came to the Duke's room to explain the situation in person.

"...That's the way it is. I'm afraid I have to go back with Annie for a while." William said apologetically.

"Well, you go. I just plan to go back in the next two days." Howard said with no expression.

Prince William hurriedly said: "Aren't you happy living here? If the queen mother knows that I haven't entertained you well, she will definitely nag again."

Howard said casually: "It's nothing, I didn't plan to stay too long at first. Karabud is restless again, I think I may have to send troops soon."

Prince William was not well-informed about war, and he believed Howard's words without the slightest doubt.

Anyway, Duke Howard has long been their god of war, and this kind of matter should be left to professionals to decide.

Due to Annie's urgency, the group quickly packed their bags.At dusk, several gorgeous carriages slowly pulled up and headed eastward all the way.

Howard planned to leave tomorrow, so he just took the black swan to send William off.It was a pity for An Yunze to look at the back of the carriage. He originally wanted Annie to have a few more nights of nightmares, but since they left, he should sleep well tonight.

However, the plan did not catch up with the change.

After midnight, An Yunze, who was half asleep and half awake, suddenly woke up from his sleep. When he looked up, he saw an owl standing on a branch outside the window, looking at him coldly with its head tilted.

Here comes Rotba.
