Can something that has been broken into pieces be the same as before after being fixed with glue?
He didn't quite understand either.
But... at least it seemed that the relationship between him and Chris was back to what it used to be.
"I just want to be family, not lovers."
That's what she said that night.
It's so illegal to say such a thing. Doesn't it mean that I will always be a backup by your side...
never mind.
Anyway, my spare tire is already——
It's not brand new.
Wayne was sitting in the library, with a copy of "Secrets of the Royal Capital of Saint Enlos" spread out on the table, and beside him were various notes that he had compiled and summarized.
But his mind had already drifted to other places.
As soon as I calm down, what happened in the music classroom that day will come to mind again.
He closed his eyes, put his elbows on the table, and supported his forehead and temples.
...Why is there a mirror there? I can see all the bad things...too clearly.
Wayne's breathing became heavier involuntarily.
Ruined.
If this continues, I'm going to be doomed.
I want to see Miss Songli.
immediately……
He shook his head violently and forced himself to focus on his notes.
So far, based on what I have compiled from various aspects of the records, it is enough to figure out some things.
The Kingdom of St. Lornes where they are located is a country deeply influenced by the church.
But it wasn't always like this. Just before the Battle of Brumaire, the country's name was just the "Kingdom of Lornes". It was during that battle that the previous king introduced the power of the church, so he added the word "holy" in front of the country's name to show respect for God and the Holy See.
Since then, grassroots institutions at all levels affiliated with the church have been established in various provinces of the kingdom and have gained increasing power.
On his note, a triangle was drawn.
The king, the nobility, and the church check and balance each other.
In the past, he had no interest in delving into these backgrounds. Anyway, it was just a mindless love story.
But now Wayne feels that his life may not be enough just by staying with Chris every day.
You can't just regard Chris as the meaning of your existence.
He didn't want to experience it again... this feeling of being denied his entire existence and feeling disillusioned with life.
He also wanted to do other things.
For example, let Miss Songli... give up her idea of marrying the prince.
Wayne closed the book in front of him and stood up to put it back on the bookshelf.
The library in the academy is said to have the richest collection of books in the entire kingdom, with a wide range of books in different categories.
Tall bookshelves crisscross each other, dividing each passage into separate spaces.
After wandering around for a long time, Wayne finally found the original location where "Secrets of the Royal Capital of Saint Enlos" should be placed.
At the innermost side of this passage, there is a sloping corner.
But when he walked around the shelf of books in front of him, his breathing couldn't help but stagnate, and his steps paused.
The person I was still thinking about just now was standing beside the bookshelf in front of me, seeming to be trying to take down a certain book on the upper shelf.
As if feeling the gaze from the side, her body trembled slightly, but she did not look back.
Instead, he continued to stand on tiptoe and reached for a thick classic book directly above him.
Wayne stepped forward and leaned behind her.
Then--
He stretched out his hand, put it against her tender forearm, and slowly moved it up little by little until his fingers were tightly interlocked with hers.
"...let me go." She whispered.
"I said it was only for that one time...don't come to me again in the future."
"I can't do it... Miss Songli's figure always pops into my mind suddenly."
Wayne lowered his head slightly, whispered into her ear:
"...What about you? Do you usually miss me?"
Song Li was trembling in his arms.
She suddenly pushed Wayne away fiercely, and said in a tone like a moan, full of embarrassment: "Don't come over and say such things to me now!"
——I already want to leave you.
She suppressed the sound she made, full of reluctance.
Seeing her like that, Wayne smiled softly.
"You, you think it's funny to see me like this, right?" There were tears in her eyes.
"It's not funny," he said. "It's cute."
"I like how I look, very cute."
Song Li was stunned for a second, and then her face turned red.
"I-I won't like you!"
Wayne just reached out his hand again and wiped away her tears.
——If you don’t like it, why would you do such crazy things and betray your family’s expectations?
Yes.
Looking at Miss Song Li like this, Wayne was sure that Prince Richard was not what she really wanted.
Since he was in elementary school, he had been vaguely aware that many of Geli's views were too mature.
Far beyond her level of knowledge.
For example: "Marriage is a contract between two families to share certain disposable resources."
Now it seems that this kind of words cannot come from her at all, but some people in the family have instilled some other expectations in her.
For example, he wanted to gain more power from the royal family through Song Li's marriage to Richard.
And that Chancellor of Finance, Mr. Franz...
If he knew what his daughter had done in private with the boy from the Wenche family whom he hated the most, he would probably be so angry that he could not bear to fall ill.
This matter itself is impossible to be accepted by the family.
Even if she is not with Richard, Lord Franz will not let her be with him.
However, even so, she still desperately wanted to give herself all the tenderness.
It must be hard to endure this.
"His Majesty the King will no longer accept...the future queen to come from the country's great nobles." Wayne said.
"So, even if you really want to marry Richard, it is impossible."
Geli looked at him blankly, as if she couldn't understand his words.
"Your Majesty, you hate us—" The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, as if he was mocking.
"A great nobleman."
…
When Ge Li returned home, she still felt as if her steps were buoyant, as if she was walking in a dream.
That kind of Wayne felt strange to her again.
But also——
As always, reliable.
She recalled what he said to her at that time, and she didn't know whether to follow his instructions to treat her father.
Will father be angry?
She felt a little guilty.
If one day he discovers his... special relationship with her, he will definitely be angry.
However, as long as I think of him breathing slightly in my ear...
Ge Li smiled softly.
Huh, Wayne Wincher——
Even if you look powerful, in reality you are just that... a superficial man.
