"..."
Wayne was speechless.
Why do I feel more and more like Lawrence is a silly son of a landlord?
Lawrence, who seemed to have taken advantage of something and was overjoyed about it, could barely control his gradually letting go of joy after laughing alone for a while.
Wayne frowned and wanted to get up and leave.
His sixth sense was telling him that something he didn't want to see might happen next.
However, before he could figure out how to get rid of Lawrence, Lawrence started talking to him very familiarly.
"Aikos~ By the way! I haven't had time to introduce myself yet."
As he spoke, he put his hands on his chest and saluted: "My name is Lawrence Macefield, and I am the second prince of the Kingdom of St. Lornes. I am very happy to meet your new friend. Just call me Lawrence." ”
If Wayne hadn't already known him well, he might have been deceived by his charming appearance.
But... no matter what little calculations he is making, as long as he doesn't take the initiative, he won't be able to do anything to him.
Unlike Wayne, who has more practical concerns, Ecos does not have to worry that the worsening relationship with His Royal Highness will cause the Wincher family's position to become awkward.
If you don't like him, just talk to him directly.
"Sorry, I'll excuse you."
Echos stood up, not paying attention to what Lawrence said.
Seeing that Echos wanted to reject him, Lawrence was just stunned for a moment, then reacted quickly and pretended not to understand what was being said, and shamelessly followed his footsteps.
"By the way, where is Echo's hometown? How long have you been in the capital?" Lawrence still didn't want to give up the opportunity to get closer, so he kept pestering her.
Wayne turned a deaf ear with a cold face and subconsciously quickened his pace.
However, this small blow obviously could not make Lawrence give in. Lawrence chased him almost all the way to the garden outside the banquet hall.
The conversation also changed from one-sided asking him various private questions to one-sided talking about things he thought were interesting.
"Aikos~ Maybe you don't know, but I joined the drama club in Qingxi Academy. We usually have fun..."
He seemed to really think that the other party would be interested in what he was talking about. Before Ax could make any reaction, he laughed heartily by himself.
Giao! Why can’t I get rid of this dog-skin plaster?
Although nothing could be seen from the outside, Wayne was actually going crazy.
——Otherwise, why don’t we take advantage of the fact that there are few people outside and beat him up on the spot?
Wayne seriously considered the feasibility of giving Lawrence a beating.
At the same time, he finally found Bulwer.
But what makes people even more desperate is...
Standing next to Bulwer were none other than Prince Richard and Gavin, who had arrived belatedly.
Echos saw them, and they saw Echos.
For a moment, the wind stopped and the chatter in my ears stopped.
The two sides looked at each other in silence.
Bulwer reacted first and introduced both parties with a smile: "This is His Royal Highness the Great Prince Richard, and this is Master Gavin Warren, the son of the Foreign Secretary..."
Before he could finish his words, Lawrence, who had been following Ecos just now, jumped out immediately.
"Aikos and I still have something to say, so I won't delay with you. Besides, since you are so late, why not go to the banquet and say hello first!"
When he said these words, Lawrence had an unprecedented confident smile on his face.
Especially the way he looked at Richard was condescending, and the contempt that was full of victory was not concealed at all.
It was as if at this moment, he was the superior one as the elder brother.
Hearing Lawrence's words, Richard pursed his lips and his expression changed slightly.
He ignored Lawrence who was standing in the middle, but stepped forward past him, looking at Echos intently.
"Miss Echos... do you know? In fact, I have wanted to meet you for a long time, but it's a pity that I didn't have the chance until today..."
He looked at Ecos with burning eyes, unblinking, as if hoping that the other party would discover the sincerity contained in it. "Remember me? We met once many years ago."
Numb.
Wayne is under general anesthesia.
Sure enough, my hunch is never wrong.
He began to wonder why he couldn't figure it out before and had to sneak into this party.
Obviously, I just want to see Miss Songli earlier.
If he waited until the banquet was over, it would be almost time for him to go back. After all, the excuse he made was just to go fishing, not to go camping...
"I don't remember, I'm not interested in irrelevant people." Ecos said extremely coldly.
Looking blankly at his sweetheart right in front of him, Richard showed a heartbroken look in his eyes.
Lawrence on the side was overjoyed and couldn't hide his smile.
"Yes, yes! Don't disturb us, Ecos, if you have nothing to do with it~"
He deliberately showed his close relationship with Ecos, hoping to hit Richard's extremely fragile heart at this time.
Just when Wayne was about to retort unbearably, "Same for you!", there was a rather noisy movement behind him.
A group of people came out from the banquet hall.
The leader was Franz Edgeworth, the kingdom’s finance minister.
"Why is His Highness the Grand Prince standing outside the door? Is it because he dislikes our Edgeworth family's poor hospitality?" Franz joked looking very cheerful.
Behind him followed Ge Li and many other nobles.
In front of many outsiders, Richard barely controlled his emotions and responded gently: "No, I just exchanged a few words with an old friend."
Hearing this, Franz couldn't help but move his eyes towards Ecos.
He had heard rumors that Richard was in love with Ecos.
Today, he also received a report from the attendants that Ecos had followed Bulwer to the banquet.
It's just that he hasn't figured out how the Edgeworth family will deal with this strange magician.
...she is indeed a beauty.
Wayne felt uncomfortable being looked at by his father-in-law who had just picked him up for free. His face looked as unhappy as if everyone around him owed him a large sum of money, and air-conditioning came out.
Especially, Song Li was also present.
Ah this...
What kind of shameful play are you doing?
"Is this your first time as a guest at the Edgeworth house, Mr. Ecos?"
Franz thought for a moment and said, "Ge Li, you are responsible for taking care of Mr. Ecos."
——He actually came to the banquet wearing armor. He seems to be a very difficult person to get along with.
The future queen is still too far away.
However, I heard that Echos is a rare magic powerhouse in the world. If Song Li can establish a relationship with her, the result will not be too bad.
Franz arranged everything in a flash.
"As for Prince Richard, Prince Lawrence, and the other guests, please come with me. Our friends in the banquet hall have been waiting for a long time!"
