It's fun to play with Chrissy, but you can't really take your enemies lightly.
After returning home, Wayne did not go to bed immediately. Instead, he carefully listed several relationships and possible situations, trying to find the most appropriate solution.
I always feel that this format brings back the feeling of immersing myself in solving problems a long time ago.
Raphael and Simon don't trust each other, which is a good starting point.
But at the same time, this condition also comes with quite a few drawbacks.
That is: Raphael is limited in what he can do while he is in bed.
If the help he could provide was really that useful, Raphael would be able to get rid of the envoy who was not on his side without Wayne's assistance at all.
However, providing certain help to Raphael is still necessary in the current situation faced by the Winche family.
No matter how solid a fortress is, it can often be breached from within.
This is true for the forces of the Stuart Kingdom, and it is also true for the forces behind Earl Chapman.
…
Although Wayne gave a stern warning to the boy who was talking behind his back last time, it didn't take long for the news about the disgraceful role played by the Winche family to spread like wildfire.
There are so many people saying this that even those who originally didn't believe such rumors can't help but become dubious about it.
Overnight, it seemed that the eyes of the people around him changed.
Suspicion, panic, fear... just to name a few.
Just walking in the aisles of the academy, Wayne had the illusion that he had transformed into the grand villain BOSS, a monster that no one dared to stop.
Chris was also deeply disturbed and felt depressed all day long.
"If I find out who is behind this, I will make him look good!"
She declared.
Just halfway through speaking, she suddenly had a new idea.
"Well, why not arrange a special report on this matter... How about adding an extra page of law popularization columns?"
Wayne said speechlessly: "Is this intention too obvious? What if people think we are trying to clear our name?"
The question of whose property Ye Ye Publishing House belongs to is not a secret in the royal capital.
However, Chris didn't seem to want to give up the proposal.
"At worst, let's start with the big cases from the past and take inventory one by one~ It's not a big problem." She suddenly became energetic and swept away the gloomy expression just now.
"..." After a moment of silence, Wayne added: "Remember to exaggerate the emotions fully so that the public can long for the truth."
Public opinion is also an indispensable part before actually fighting with a bayonet.
"Wayne, Chrissy."
Richard also came to the Lily Club activity room today.
"I heard some rumors about your family, do you need my help?" He seemed to have come specifically for this matter.
"Is there any new theory?" Wayne asked him.
"Um?"
Although he was puzzled by his question, Richard stated what he had heard.
"The general plot is the same as before, but the details are more complete." Wayne commented, "But thank you anyway."
Whether as a prince or as a friend, Richard is a very reliable character.
"Actually, I didn't expect that Earl Chapman would do such a thing..." As he said, Richard sat down aside and let out a long sigh.
"I still remember that when I was little, I always looked forward to him coming to the palace to see me, because he would bring some interesting toys every time."
In Richard's eyes, Earl Chapman seemed to have a completely different image from the outside world.
Wayne was acutely aware of this.
Chapman is a personal minister of His Majesty the King.
The previous commander of the city guard was also someone close to His Majesty the King.
Even Bulwer, the mole, also gained the trust of His Majesty the King.
When a person is surrounded by villains and idiots, how can the person in the middle be clean?
This thought was like a shooting star in the cold night passing through my mind.
[You have a lot of personal contact with Earl Chapman? 】
"Don't you doubt the Wenche family?" Wayne asked a question that was completely inconsistent with his inner words.
Richard shook his head.
"I can't find any reason why you would support this." His tone was firm. "Particularly, if Duke Elliot really wanted to do something like this, he could have done so in a less obvious way."
"That's not necessarily the case."
Chris argued, "After all, I can't guess why Earl Chapman would do such a thing."
After learning that her family had been forcibly dragged into the water, Chris's disgust towards Chapman took to a new level.
"There must be a motive, but we haven't found it yet." Wayne whispered.
——In fact, it is very likely that he will never tell the truth in his life.
"Chapman is a very thoughtful and smart man." Richard looked at the table in front of him with a slightly blank expression.
"There is certainly no reason behind his willingness to do something that is extremely risky and has very little benefit for him."
The three of them stopped talking for a while.
…
"Chapman?"
Hearing this name, Lawrence snorted with great disdain from his nose.
"It's not surprising that a despicable person who knows how to act according to the circumstances and flatter others and suppress others would do such a thing."
Although they were both princes, his impression of Chapman was quite different from Richard's.
So when Wayne heard it, he was surprised.
However, he did not relay what Richard said, and Lawrence just mentioned it casually and quickly ignored the conversation.
"Wayne, I have already paid the venue rental fee and staff hire fee. Now you have to start practicing with me."
When he said these words, he seemed to feel very accomplished that he had successfully completed the preparations, and crossed his hands with pride.
Since it was something that had been promised a long time ago, Wayne would not refuse halfway.
"It's okay, but our family has encountered some problems recently, and we can't practice too late every day."
Make an appointment with Lawrence at a fixed time so that you can make a time difference and deal with some miscellaneous things.
"Hey~ Those rumors are all just based on rumors. If you ask me, you don't need to worry about it at all. As long as it goes away after a while, it will calm down on its own." Lawrence also heard about those rumors.
"No... too many people know about it, so it's impossible not to take certain measures on the surface." Wayne replied.
This scapegoat was so accurately thrown at Chapman, who had no personal relationship with him at all. It was impossible to say that no one was secretly guiding him.
