Wayne listened to his sigh in silence.
Once something happens, there is no room for recovery.
He knew that Richard might not really want to give a correct answer, but that he just didn't feel comfortable saying something in his heart.
But Wayne also had something to say to him.
"Richard...people are not necessarily machines that can do everything well." Wayne whispered.
"We will favor ourselves, make mistakes, and still feel unwilling to make decisions after making them. However, precisely because of the obstacles of these despicable natures, those who can maintain their noble character are even more valuable."
He really wanted to comfort Richard with a few more words to prevent this outstanding young man from being led astray by the king, but finding the right words was more difficult than he thought.
Richard smiled and said, "Are you enlightening me?"
"Of course." Wayne said seriously. "After all, it's not easy to have a friend you can talk to."
Making new friends is something that sounds easy but is extremely difficult to do.
Regardless of the reason why Richard initially contacted him because he had no family background, he has successfully gained Wayne's approval in these years of getting along with him.
Therefore, Wayne did not want Richard to get into trouble because of this.
"Speaking of which, Lawrence has actually been worried about you." Wayne said suddenly.
"Although he might be embarrassed to tell you."
Listening to the chats of the classmates in the classroom, it was found that except for the last time he went out because of his own invitation, Lawrence refused everyone else's appointments and locked himself at home every day.
Even on the day he went out to play with himself, Lawrence looked worried most of the time.
Richard was slightly startled when he heard this, and then laughed at himself: "He always felt that I always hid behind others and watched with cold eyes, waiting for everyone to solve the problem before jumping out to gain a good reputation."
"I also think he's right."
"Not only was this done at the request of my parents, but I also unconsciously tended to... avoid getting involved in anything that might be controversial."
Richard lowered his eyelids, not wanting others to see the look in his eyes.
"But, after all, I am also your brother, and I am also the first heir of this country." His voice was so soft that it was almost inaudible.
"If it's just that I don't have the ability or it has nothing to do with me, there's nothing wrong with it. But if it's something that I can obviously solve on my own, I can't be underestimated by Lawrence, right?"
Well, this aura of determination to go alone is quite remarkable.
Seeing that he had made up his mind, Wayne said no more.
"Speaking of which, the official election for the position of president of the Lily Club is about to begin."
The next major event in the academy is naturally the election campaign for the major clubs and organizations.
After the re-election campaign is over, the seniors who are about to graduate will enter the countdown to leaving school, and there will be very few opportunities to return to the academy in the future.
On the other hand, under Wayne's kind reminder, senior Raphael finally found the opportunity to visit His Majesty the King in the palace.
For those who only care about interests, as long as they are given a choice with clear gains and losses, the results will be obvious. So, after some behind-the-scenes transactions that were unknown to outsiders, the king had agreed to release him back on a certain day.
"Senior Raphael said he would also make time to attend."
Richard immediately glanced at Wayne warily, "I failed in the last election for acting president because I didn't pay enough attention to it, but I will go all out this time. You have to be careful."
"Heh, I've heard similar words too many times."
No matter how much he values this opponent in his heart, he will not show weakness in his mouth.
…
After a relaxing holiday, most people were in a state of chaos on the first day of school.
All in all, it means having no intention of learning.
The teachers at the school are also very aware of this, so as a rule, no substantive classes will be arranged on the first day back to school. Everyone just needs to sit together and talk and laugh, and time will pass quietly in a relaxed atmosphere.
It was hard to wait until the evening before saying goodbye. After dealing with a lot of her little sisters, Chris was finally able to get rid of the entanglement and return home with Wayne.
As soon as she returned to the room, Chris jumped onto the sofa and kicked off the indoor shoes she had just put on at lightning speed, rubbing them against her like a stretching cat. Rub away.
"Ah~ after a long vacation, I want to start school, and as soon as school starts, I want to take a vacation immediately."
She hugged the pillow next to her and sighed sadly.
Wayne closed the door smoothly, "Maybe this is called, what you can't get is always turbulent?"
For students, the beauty of vacation can only be reflected when they go to school, and the beauty of school can only be missed during vacation. Is it lucky or unfortunate to be able to experience this unique experience again?
Chris didn't know that Wayne was thinking about philosophy of life at this moment, and was still coquettish in a lazy tone.
"Wayne, can you bring me a glass of water?"
——Has degenerated into a pitiful cripple unable to move independently.
Wayne didn't even move his eyebrows.
"Do you need anything else, like dessert?"
Upon hearing his considerate inquiry, Chrissy's eyes lit up and she sat up: "I want it, I want it!"
"Wait, I'll bring it to you right away." Wayne opened the door again and walked out.
Until the door was closed, Chrissy's cheers could be heard in the entire corridor outside.
"Woo~ Wayne~ I knew you were the best to me——"
Her voice was cut off in the room.
Wayne thought for a while, then turned and walked towards the baking kitchen.
Although there are sufficient supplies in the Duke's Mansion, most of the food is not ready all the time. Occasionally, there are situations where what you want to eat needs to be cooked on the spot. It is undoubtedly easiest to go directly to the people in the kitchen and ask. .
But to Wayne's slight surprise, when he walked into the kitchen, what he saw was a group of maids huddled together, browsing a newspaper together.
These people didn't notice Wayne's appearance at all and were still immersed in it.
"Oh my God, this story is so curious to follow! That man seems to really exist..."
A young maid with small freckles on her face was fascinated by this story.
"Indeed." Another maid echoed.
"All the details are very specific and vivid - with the help of these words, I seem to be able to imagine the real face of the masked gentleman."
