For those who are accustomed to being on top, they do not realize that even at the bottom, even if they are insignificant, there will always be times when dissatisfaction accumulates to the point where it becomes unbearable.
Moore had made a desperate move.
"His Royal Highness Richard!" He decided to take advantage of this opportunity and naturally switch to this well-known prince of the country.
"Although I, Moore, am just a servant with a low status, I handle all the matters assigned by my master with all my heart and diligence... But Prince Lawrence is eccentric and arrogant, scolding his servants at every turn, and cannot listen to any advice. Now he has already grown up in his heart. I have a feeling of dissatisfaction, if I return alone there will definitely be no good end!"
This humble servant not only failed to stand up according to Wayne's support, but instead fell down at Richard's feet.
He did not dare to touch the prince's body directly, so he could only press his head tightly against the ground.
"Please accept me, Your Highness! I will do my best to serve you throughout my life!"
Perhaps because he was too excited, his voice trembled with a hint of crying.
Wayne's outstretched hand froze in place for a moment.
Whenever he felt that he was almost getting used to life in this world, he would always encounter a new shocking scene.
So, he quietly retracted his hand.
Chris couldn't stand it anymore and asked, "You mean, Lawrence will punish you after you go back?"
"..."
He did mean it, but he didn't dare to say it out loud.
However, even if he didn't say anything, the silence itself was the best accusation.
Wayne intuitively realized the problem immediately.
Richard can't just agree! Otherwise, he would have openly instigated the rebellion of those close to Lawrence. For the two brothers, who already had a tense relationship, this move was no different from a formal declaration of war.
Richard may have also discovered this, the anger on his face gradually faded, and the look he looked at the attendant became darker.
I have no choice but to come forward myself.
"How about this!"
Wayne softened his tone and said, "Don't think so badly of Lawrence. You come back to Duke Wenche's Mansion with me first, and I will settle you properly."
"If he really refuses to let you go, the worst case scenario is that I will take you from him and then secretly give you a sum of money to set you free."
No matter how much he said, he was Lawrence's good friend. As long as he found a reasonable excuse, not many people would care. It was completely different from Richard's sensitivity when he did it himself.
"Then just do as Wayne says."
Without waiting for the attendant to say anything else, Richard made his decision.
As he said that, he looked at Wayne: "I have something else to do, so I'll leave it to you."
Sensing the trust in his tone, Wayne nodded.
"rest assured."
As a result, his involvement not only failed to break the gap between Richard and Lawrence, but instead seemed to deepen the gap between them.
When he and Chris returned home, Wayne sighed deeply.
No matter what the relationship is, it is easy to be angry with the other person, but it is difficult to make peace with the other person.
"I thought it was time for the two of them to relax a bit after going through so much."
He was reflecting on whether he had taken it too much for granted.
"Perhaps we haven't considered the reason why Lawrence is so resistant. If this problem is not solved, it will be difficult to achieve a decisive breakthrough just by relying on Richard's little kindness released under the air." Chris pondered. road.
"Actually, I can probably feel a little bit like Lawrence." She said suddenly.
"Huh?" Wayne was slightly surprised.
“Because I’m afraid of being taken away, I desperately protect what I can only keep.”
Walking to the desk, Chris gently touched her paintings.
"However, no matter how much you like it, once you judge that it is possible to lose it... you will be the first to abandon it."
"After all, this is the only way to save my precarious self-esteem - it's not that I can't get it, it's just that I don't want it."
"That's probably the only thing you can control."
Wayne listened quietly, silently.
Do you think so too?
Wayne didn't express his thoughts, but he did want to know how Chris would view this matter.
"Do you think it's impossible for Lawrence's relationship with Richard to get better if his ego isn't repaired?"
Although they are both time travellers, Chris and she have very different views on many things.
He felt that sometimes he could understand her, and sometimes he couldn't.
"I can't say 100% sure, but it must be a very critical factor." Chris said. "And Lawrence also gave a hint about it."
"hint?"
"That is, he knows that you and Richard have been friends for many years, but he still chooses to maintain close contact with you."
She said with certainty: "Perhaps he would use reasons such as wanting to pry away Richard's friends or gain more support from the nobles to convince himself to take action, but this is what he left for himself subconsciously. Open a window.”
"After making good friends with you, you will definitely try to say good things about Richard in front of him, and you will naturally say good things about him in front of Richard. Over time, you will be sandwiched between the two of them and become a bridge to communicate for both parties. bridge."
...When you said that, I was in a dilemma.
"This is indeed the case." He whispered to himself.
Lawrence never made any request that he, as his friend, would draw a clear line with Richard in the future.
Of course, even if he proposed such a statement from a primary school student, he would be rejected by himself.
Her analysis makes sense, and Wayne has generally believed it.
"But I have been trying to communicate. He has clearly softened his attitude towards Richard in front of me. Why did he still get angry when we met in private?"
"Of course that's because what he cares about most is still not satisfied."
Chrissy was extra calm today.
"He wants to heal, but he can't, and he can't easily forgive the people who caused him so much pain, even though it wasn't really Richard's fault."
"So he can only become a source of negative energy, sensitive, irritable, and irritable, so as to vent the pain he has accumulated."
she says.
"——So, it's normal to be hated by people around you."
The thing that matters most...
"What Lawrence cares about most is probably the lack of family ties from his parents."
The reason why he always argued and compared with Richard was because he himself had not been recognized by the outside world for a long time, so his mentality was more or less distorted.
Wayne found this a bit tricky.
No, "tricky" alone is far from enough to describe it. It should be said to be hopeless.
If the king was a loving father like Duke Elliot, there might be hope. But judging from the current situation, such extravagant demands are simply unrealistic.
