"Hyman Agnes." Young Toshiyan introduced himself, even the arc of his smile seemed to be measured with a ruler.
Looking at him, Wayne suddenly thought of another person.
Darcy, the former student union president, has long since disappeared.
Perhaps, people in similar situations will have similar personalities, which is also a kind of screening catalyst under natural conditions.
"I've heard your name."
The Agnes family is also a well-known noble in the royal capital, but they have never had much contact with their family.
"I'm not very honored." His tone told you it was just for show.
"I wonder if Master Wayne will be free later? I have something important to discuss with you." As if he was afraid of being rejected by Wayne, Heyman paused and emphasized meaningfully: "The news I brought will definitely not Disappoint you."
Wayne glanced in the direction of the chairman, calmly straightened his clothes, and declined: "My time is precious..."
When it comes to the pretentiousness of aristocratic children, Wayne thinks he is no weaker than others.
Realizing that Wayne did not take his words seriously, he immediately said solemnly: "Please forgive me for being rude, but I must tell you that its value must be worth your time."
Looking around at the guests, he saw that everyone was attracted by His Majesty the King who came to the banquet hall. Heyman lowered his voice: "It has something to do with the lady next to His Majesty the King... That woman has no good intentions towards your family. "
Wayne looked stern.
He took a deep look at the young man and said nothing more.
"Meet you outside on the terrace later."
In this short moment, many possibilities popped into Wayne's mind, but he rejected them one by one.
It is impossible for these people to know that they are insiders, so naturally they would not go out of their way to test them. Could it be that people from other families are also aware of Mrs. Cherry's origins and are preparing to fight back together under the banner of their own family? However, this is not something unimaginable. Anything that appears around His Majesty the King will be held up to a magnifying glass and observed repeatedly by those who are interested.
This time, it is just a reenactment of a play that has been performed countless times in the past.
With speculation about the meaning behind this incident, Wayne followed Harold to meet the king.
This is a reserved item for the royal family to organize banquets. The only difference from the past is that the gentle and charitable queen who accompanies His Majesty the King is no longer the same.
"I had met Master Wayne several times before due to painting reasons."
Holding the king's arm gently, Mrs. Cherry smiled and exchanged a few words with Wayne calmly.
Because of her sensitive status, she had little contact with the upper-class nobles of the royal capital. Even if they have only had a few superficial cooperations with the Wenche family, they are already the ones who have interacted with each other a lot.
After hearing Cherry's words, the king also turned his gaze to Wayne, and said with a gentle expression: "Well, I have heard several recommendations from Cherry... Speaking of which, I am also a member of the Royal Capital Morning News and Comics Journal. Loyal readers. To be able to operate this newly emerged industry so impressively at such a young age is really formidable."
"Your Majesty is so complimentary. This is not just my fault." As soon as the topic started, Wayne understood what he meant.
As long as the Winche family comes forward to endorse and recognize the favor given by Mrs. Cherry, Mrs. Cherry can get rid of her embarrassing situation in the aristocratic circle. The king's attempt to win over supporters mirrored that of some families who were working in secret, but ran counter to it.
Wayne was fully confident that if he made some not-so-excessive profit demands on the topic of the publishing house at this moment, His Majesty the King would definitely agree generously.
But those things were neither necessary nor enjoyable to him.
After several hints back and forth, Wayne refused to accept the olive branch, and the king frowned slightly displeased. However, Mrs. Cherry didn't seem to insist on this, and changed the topic with a smile.
"How's it going?" When Wayne finally found a chance to step away from the king, Harold came over to whisper to him in a playful tone.
"Are the Wenche family ready to respond to His Majesty's will?"
Wayne glanced at him angrily and asked instead, "So, Chairman, what's your position?"
Harold smiled like an old fox, "Me? I never have a position. They can fight however they like. I only stand on the side of the winner."
...You are worthy of being able to say such words without changing your expression.
However, due to the kingdom's tradition and some practical factors, the neutrality of Clear Creek Academy is often the balance point that all parties want to maintain. Harold's attitude of always not caring about himself can make others feel at ease about him. .
Thinking about this, Wayne suddenly realized the problem.
Harold's recent behavior of tying himself onto a pirate ship does not seem like he wants to remain neutral in the increasingly fierce struggle. Or is he planning to stay together with his family to avoid disaster?
Wayne looked at him suspiciously, but Harold just smiled.
"By the way, help me out later." Wayne said in a low voice, "I made an appointment to meet on the terrace outside..."
Perhaps because he has been dealing with old foxes too much recently, Wayne has also learned a bit about the true meaning of the push and pull technique.
Harold seemed to understand the situation he was facing and agreed simply.
With Harold as his insurance, Wayne said no more, looked around, and quietly left the royal banquet hall where no one was paying attention to him.
But what he didn't notice was that Ge Li, who was standing on the other side of the crowd and didn't seem to care about the others around him, caught a glimpse of his leaving back and secretly whispered something to the unattractive girl next to him. The girl glanced in the direction where Wayne left, nodded slightly to Ge Li, and then left the crowd.
Terrace outside the banquet hall.
As this splendid building that is often chosen by kings as a banquet venue, all designs are made by the kingdom's top masters and the most precious materials, and the internal structure is extremely exquisite. When guests walk from the indoor to the outdoor through the winding terrace corridor, the breeze blows, and they look at the open night moon and starry sky hanging high in the mirror-like sky. The noisy sound from the banquet hall behind gradually fades away. , a feeling of tranquility suddenly arises in a bored or restless heart.
However, although it was much quieter than in the banquet hall, the guests who met in groups on the terrace would occasionally burst into hearty laughter when they talked about their passions.
"Master Wayne, please come over here." Heyman stepped forward in time to respond without letting Wayne bother to search.
The slightly excited tone showed that he had been waiting here for a long time.
