Wayne was stunned.
I hate it because I like it... What is this?
However, Geli obviously had no intention of explaining it to him in detail.
"Everyone's desires are endless." She whispered inaudibly, as if talking to herself.
“Once you realize you could have had so much more, you can never go back.”
After just saying such a sentence softly, she wanted to move the topic away.
"By the way, Sister Echos..."
"etc!"
Wayne couldn't stand it any longer, and with lightning speed, he straightened his palms and crossed them in front of him to make a cross.
"Just call me Echos. Please, please, don't add any suffixes!"
Feeling a little overwhelmed by his extremely determined attitude, Geli was stuck for a while before finally agreeing. "……good."
Wayne was slightly relieved.
He knew that in Geli's mind, he would probably think that Echos was a person with a very weird personality and preferences.
However, such misunderstanding may not be harmful to yourself.
"Aikos...Actually, I want to ask, are you very close to Lord Bulwer?" She suddenly said curiously.
Wayne:? ? ?
If she saw it correctly, what was revealed from her eyes was clearly the light of gossip.
"No, it's not that close." He denied without hesitation.
"Eh--"
She pretended to be dissatisfied and said angrily, "This is too foul."
"I've already told you about the person I like."
When she said this, Wayne really doubted whether he had gone too far.
but--
"Even if there is, it can never be Bulwer."
He rejected those inexplicable matches.
"...It seems that I really don't like it." Ge Li said with inexplicable regret.
That's not right, why is this topic getting twisted as we talk about it? What about the girl who promised to dig out the inner story of Uta Rei from the side?
"——That's right. Now that Prince Richard exists, Lord Bulwer is of course still a little worse." She nodded, as if she had successfully convinced herself.
When he heard Richard's name from Song Li's mouth, Wayne suddenly became alert.
"Is Richard okay?" he asked.
"Prince Richard is a very nice person." Ge Li said casually.
"...What's good about it?"
Song Li didn't hear the sour meaning in his words, and thought he was asking sincerely, so he praised Prince Richard without hesitation.
"My academic performance is very good..."
——Not as good as me.
"The magic power is also very strong..."
——Still not as good as me.
"He's also very handsome..."
——My appearance is no worse than his.
"and……"
Ge Li was startled, then smiled faintly: "His love for you, Echos, is very wholehearted."
"——"
Wayne was speechless.
"Sounds good." He said, completely contrary to the involuntary justification in his heart.
"yes."
"Then the person you like is him?"
Already quite angry.
He didn't want to hear Songli say how good the other boys were, even though that was the truth.
As if she was surprised by Echos's abnormal behavior, she did not continue the compliment.
Wayne couldn't help but look to the other side without looking at her expression.
But apart from his eyes, he had focused all his attention on her.
"It's not him... it's a person who is worse than him." After a while, Ge Li said.
"Worse than Richard? Then why do you still like it?"
Even he himself was unaware of the unkindness hidden in his words.
"Because..." Geli took a deep breath and exhaled it slowly.
"I can't help but wonder if it was because of my appearance that he became so... bad."
Echos was silent.
In the guest room, two single chairs face each other side by side. But the conversation could no longer continue.
"Let's have a good talk with the person you like." Finally, Ecos said.
Ge Li raised his head and looked at the strange and mysterious strange and powerful man in front of him.
"Like you said, people are always greedy."
"What you want is clearly right in front of you. You can get it as long as you stretch out your hand. How can you give up?" His voice was ethereal and unpredictable. "So even if the two sides are arguing fiercely, it is often difficult to come up with an answer that can fully satisfy one party."
"What's more important is to seek a compromise result that is acceptable to both sides."
It’s not that they don’t understand the pain they endure.
It's not that they can't feel what they're worried about.
It's just that I don't want to tear down my shelter from the wind and expose my heart full of selfish desires in front of them.
Everyone has selfishness, but reality is destined not to satisfy everyone's selfishness.
How can we ensure that our desires can be realized first?
Of course it depends on——
Absolute strength.
That's why I feel that even if I have hurt them, I can still reverse the situation.
"If... you still like him, go talk to him."
After understanding the extremely realistic key point, Wayne was a little uninterested.
He didn't want to pry any more information.
Maybe Kali will think that it is not his nature to hurt the girls around him.
Maybe Song Li would find various excuses for him to explain why he did this.
Ah, he also hopes that someone can excuse him and prove that he is really not that bad.
But, that's just a nice layer of clothes.
What he did...
It's obviously pure scum.
Aikosi stood up a little tiredly: "I thought about it, it's not good to stay upstairs all the time. Even if my existence is insignificant, Miss Songli, your presence is indispensable, so I'd better go and talk to my friends." Let’s chat.”
Although I don’t know why he changed his mind again, what he said did make sense, and Geli had no choice but to obey with slight doubts and confusion.
…
"How about it?"
Long after the banquet ended, Franz just washed his face hastily and began to gather his confidants to discuss matters with his daughter.
He almost didn't stop that night, and kept holding a wine glass among the nobles.
Of course, this hard work is not without rewards. He has already had contact with several forces.
The next task is to make slight adjustments to the future family development plan based on the latest negotiation results.
But at this time, that was not what he asked.
Staring at the apple of his eye, he was listening intently to Ge Li's judgment on the mysterious strongman "Ekos".
"Aikos...she has a bit of a weird personality, but she's not cruel or cruel." Ge Li said after considering it.
"I even think she is actually very easy to get along with..."
"and……"
She paused for a moment and finally said it.
"There is always a vague and familiar feeling about her."
