"——As a king, one's own survival is always the first priority."
This can be regarded as George II's personal experience.
No matter what emotion you have, you must give way before this supreme authority.
He had done it before, and Richard must do it in the future.
"Richard, as the crown prince of Lownes, you should stay awake at all times." The king returned to his condescending tone. "I shouldn't have revealed these plans so early, but you don't have any understanding of this. It really disappoints me."
No matter how much he is favored by others, he is just a naive and stupid guy after all.
Across the table, Richard lowered his gaze slightly, unable to discern the expression on his face at this time.
On the contrary, the king seemed to have found the rare feeling of being a father from this training of his son. "Okay, go back and think about what I said. I don't want to see you again fooling me with nonsense that doesn't make any progress!"
He is not a fool, he will eventually come to his senses as time goes by.
Seeing Richard retreating from the room in a low mood, the king sighed secretly.
Unexpectedly, so many years have passed before I knew it, and even my sons have grown up.
... Before they are still young, they must accomplish what they want to do as soon as possible.
His hand gently touched a picture scroll placed under the table.
I have given too much for the entire royal family, and it's time to reflect on my true feelings.
…
Wayne sat outside the window sill, quietly watching the scenes shown indoors.
Unexpectedly, there is such a secret behind Tasia.
However, he was not particularly surprised by this.
It can be said that with Tasia's unique talent, it is normal for people to win over her everywhere.
It's not normal to be bullied by nobles all the time in school.
His Majesty the King seems to have his own plans.
Rather than trusting Simon, he wanted to take advantage of Simon.
But what is there in Simon that can be valued by the leader of a country?
——The identity of the envoy of the Stuart Kingdom?
Wayne was shocked for a moment by this sudden thought.
Is it not just Stuart who is plotting against Lowes, but Lowes is also plotting against him?
No, no, no... According to the information obtained through inquiring, Simon is not a very important nobleman in Stuart. He is just close to the first prince there. If the trap was too big, it would be impossible to be sacrificed directly.
Judging from the current situation of the kingdom, it is obvious that the internal worries outweigh the external ones.
So even the king wants to take this opportunity to purge people he dislikes but cannot do anything to - such as his own family?
Thinking of this, Wayne suddenly felt that life was dangerous.
I don’t know if it’s because “everyone looks like a nail if you have a hammer in your hand”, so he wondered why everyone had to have trouble with him?
Of course, even if the king takes action now, he will not be able to drag the Wenche family into trouble.
Duke Elliot, with his strong sense of crisis, had already made several plans, and had consulted with Wayne several times.
With this preparation, Wayne is confident that his family will not be greatly affected.
Seeing that the king just sat and continued to handle official duties for a while, he returned to his palace to rest alone. Wayne also quietly turned back without leaving any trace.
…
The next day, Wayne found Richard in the Lily Club.
He still looked like he had the pearls of wisdom in hand, and it seemed that no matter what happened, nothing could upset him.
But based on his understanding of him, Wayne understood that he was probably just used to showing such an image.
Last night, the king seemed to be urging Richard to get close to Tasia again. Richard's attitude has already wavered a lot. If this happens, he will probably really launch an offensive against Tasia...
Different from his usual perfunctory approach to this matter, with Richard's character, once he makes up his mind to take action, it should be quite scary.
Thinking of the Mary Sue plot he saw in the animation, Wayne felt complicated.
However, of course, those little ones of mine would not mention it in front of Richard.
"Richard, it's the end of the term." Wayne said casually as if making small talk.
"...Well, yes."
In fact, during this period of time, Richard rarely has time to sit down and talk with everyone. He often just meets each other and leaves in a hurry.
"I feel like you've become a lot busier. Have you fallen behind in your studies? I don't know how to give in." Wayne expressed awkward concern.
Richard couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
"I won't fall behind. I will respond at my best!"
——These words are like forcibly cheering oneself up, which makes people feel a bit weak.
"By the way, will you go on vacation elsewhere this holiday?" Wayne asked.
Generally speaking, nobles do not stay at home during long holidays.
After hearing this question, Richard pondered for a while.
"It seems that there are no arrangements for this at the moment."
Then he added one more sentence: "Of course if Lily Club wants to hold an event, I will come to participate."
So Wayne also smiled and said: "Don't have too many burdens. Even if you do, it's just a party at most."
Lily Club activities usually depend on the president's arrangements. As long as the activity plan is submitted to the Academy Council, it is almost never rejected.
But since the incident involving Senior Raphael happened before, for the sake of safety, it is better not to go outside and wander around. After all, the situation in the capital has not only not calmed down, but has become much more complicated than before.
If someone wanted to take advantage of these students again, Wayne, the main person in charge, would have no place to reason.
Hearing what he said, Richard nodded.
Glancing at the students in the activity room who were chatting about other topics, he lowered his voice thoughtfully.
"Wayne, can I ask you a question?"
He looked mysterious and mysterious, as if he was about to say something important.
"Ask." Wayne replied simply.
After struggling for a moment, Richard finally asked what he wanted to know: "How did you... and Chris get together successfully?"
Wayne:?
"Come together..." Wayne laughed dryly, trying to get rid of the topic.
But Richard had already spoken, so naturally he would not give up so casually, and continued to ask without giving up: "Oh, that's it...how did you confirm your relationship with her at that time?"
"..."
Would I say that she was sitting on her belly and threaten that if I fell in love with another girl, I would snatch my love rival away myself? ? ?
Recalling those unbearable past events, Wayne's expression became subtle.
