"But, I really have no money now." Lawrence looked troubled.
“It’s not a problem that you don’t have money in your pocket now. The real problem is – do you have the determination to make money?”
When he said this, there was light in Wayne's eyes.
After staring at him blankly for a while, Lawrence seemed to have suddenly enlightened, clenched his fists and replied loudly: "Yes!"
...You are yelling so loudly and so hard!
"Well, just be determined." Wayne nodded slightly, with a teachable expression.
I’m not afraid that you won’t make money, but I’m afraid that you won’t do it.
As the two people considered each other's thoughts, the carriage seemed to have arrived at its destination and gradually stopped.
"Your Highness Lawrence, we have arrived." The groom signaled to the two people in the carriage.
Lawrence took a deep breath, opened the car door and walked out with his head held high.
Wayne followed behind, feeling funny and thinking about how to carry forward the spirit of the mole later.
Having said that, the news that Lawrence said there was a "rival" around Tasia was a little concerning.
Is it referring to Richard who had to get close to Tasia under the king's instructions?
He thought so.
However, when he just raised his head, his whole body froze there.
"Huh? No...wait, wait, what are you doing in the city guard?" Wayne was dumbfounded.
Aren't you going to find Tasia?
"The person I want to pursue works here!"
There was a hint of pride inexplicably.
Lawrence raised his head and glanced at the extremely conspicuous and imposing building of the City Guard Headquarters, and walked forward boldly before him.
Ah this...
Wayne felt that his head was gradually being shrouded by an airtight dark cloud.
The next development shouldn't be what I thought... right?
"Hurry up!" Lawrence noticed that he hadn't followed him for a long time, so he quickly turned back to urge him.
With one in ten thousand chances, Wayne reluctantly followed him into the City Guard headquarters and walked into the office of Lord Commander Bulwer.
"Lord Bulwer."
Lawrence put one hand behind his back and knocked on the already open door next to him very reservedly.
Bulwer, who was at his desk handling official duties, raised his head and saw Lawrence and Wayne at the door, a trace of surprise flashed across his face.
"It turns out that it's Prince Lawrence and Master Wayne. They are really distinguished guests today~"
He immediately stood up and personally served the two of them tea and water.
"My secretary Jason helped me deliver the documents downstairs, so I can only receive the reception by myself for the time being. It's just that my craftsmanship is not good, I hope you two won't find it objectionable." Bulwart made a special explanation.
"Well...it doesn't matter if you don't make tea. We didn't come here just for tea."
Lawrence had no intention of being polite to him. As soon as he sat down on the sofa, he asked directly: "Excuse me, is Miss Echos here today?"
"..."
"..."
As soon as these words came out, both Bulwer and Wayne looked a little strange.
"Well...what does Prince Lawrence want from her?" Bulwer subconsciously asked one more question.
As soon as he finished speaking, he was worried that Lawrence would misunderstand his pushback, and quickly explained further: "What I mean is that she usually has a high degree of freedom in her actions, and I am not sure whether she will come today."
Hearing this, Lawrence suddenly became dissatisfied.
"I heard that the City Guards paid half a year's salary in advance? Does she treat this well-paid job with this attitude every day?" He questioned loudly.
It didn't sound like he was visiting because of his love for Ecos, but rather like he was here to cause trouble.
Bulwer didn't know what the purpose of His Highness the Second Prince was, and he said in a slightly confused tone: "But a truly powerful magician cannot be hired with money."
——If something really happens, no matter how much money you have, it won’t be enough to buy your life, let alone just that little salary.
To be lucky enough to meet and successfully win over a strong person of this caliber is a huge advantage.
Maybe... what I'm doing now might just coincide with that adult, right? Otherwise, even he himself couldn't figure out why that person was so easy to talk to.
"Besides, the high treatment given to Ecos by the City Guards has been specially approved by His Majesty the King..."
He did not continue what he said, but the implication was clear enough.
——His Majesty the King didn’t say anything about this matter, so what’s the use of you coming to me and making up for it?
Bulwer cursed secretly.
Probably realizing that the atmosphere of the topic had become less friendly, Lawrence was a little anxious.
He didn't mean this originally, why can't this man understand his true intention!
Suddenly, he seemed to finally remember that he was not alone, and quickly cast a look at Wayne for help.
...Sure enough, life will not let me go easily.
Wayne covered his chest, feeling that his soul had been greatly damaged.
If Wayne was still planning with great ambition before, how to be a middleman and get a living expenses from Lawrence——
Now he just wants to go home.
This world is really terrible, and my happy home is only around my girlfriend.
Lawrence and Echos had only met once briefly at the Edgeworth family's banquet. For most of the time, they were still competing with Richard, and her attitude towards him was definitely not friendly... …Where on earth could he come up with the reason to pursue Echos?
Wayne, who had suffered a severe mental blow, stretched out his hand tremblingly and said weakly: "It doesn't matter, I won't be here if I'm not here."
When Lawrence heard this, he gave up and stood up.
"No! I can't be here!"
Good guy, don’t you still want Bulwer to get the person back to work?
Are you still a human being?
"Don't cause trouble for Lord Bulwer, he still has his job." Wayne's expression became serious.
It is impossible to go to work, and it is impossible to go to work in this life.
Seeing that he did not get the support of his teammates, Lawrence's arrogance suddenly dropped.
"Then... then at least tell me when she will show up next time..." The tone softened.
The question is, does he still want to continue to look for opportunities to get in front of Ecos to gain a sense of presence?
Giao!
Wayne put on the mask of pain again.
Bulwer wiped the sweat from his forehead and enlightened: "When I see Sir Alex next time, I will convey His Highness Prince Lawrence's regard for her to her."
Please, please don’t convey it!
The person involved was not present at all, and although Lawrence was very reluctant, he had to leave empty-handed.
Walking out of the city guard building, Lawrence angrily kicked a pebble far away from his feet.
"What bad luck today!" he said.
