After a while, the black carriage drove out and left from the other direction.
In the carriage, Wayne closed his eyes and thought about the information he had.
There are many hills within the rebel army, and there is no harmony. There is not much tacit understanding between Bulwer and the restorative forces like them. During the conversation, Ross complained even more about Bulwer.
However, Wayne knew very well that in Bulwer's view, Norman had been "solved" by Echos. If he wanted him to risk Echos's warning to track Norman's whereabouts, even Norman himself might not be able to do it. .
Wayne didn't know where Norman was taken, but he knew that Duke Elliot would never let Norman appear in front of him easily again.
In this way, he made room for himself to do some small actions in Norman's name.
The fingers of his right hand slowly tapped on the armrest in the carriage. After pondering for a while, Wayne took out a pen and paper from the carved wooden box on the side and wrote some words eloquently.
The carriage circled the city wall of the royal capital for most of the time, and finally stopped at the entrance of the Lownes Union Post Office.
Wayne, who got off the carriage, pressed the brim of his hat and stepped inside.
He has written down all the changes he encountered, and fully expressed his pain, confusion and struggle in his words. Now, he wants to store this crucial letter in advance. If things change, Duke Elliot will naturally receive Wayne's personal explanation.
This was a backup plan that Wayne had left for himself just in case.
Frankly speaking, Duke and Duchess Elliot did not treat him badly in any way. Regardless of whether they had other purposes in the first place or whether they were just cultivating him for Chrissy's future, Wayne accepted this sentiment.
Of course it was his wish to stay with Chris all the time, but if his identity was exposed one day, Wayne would not let anyone manipulate him.
Even if he has to leave the royal capital one day in the future, he will come back in a better state.
Although she accepted the invitation to sing, Chrissy did not intend to go alone.
Due to her lack of trust in the Edgeworth family, she planned to bring along her classmates Molly and Eve, as well as a group of maids and family guards.
As the notorious daughter of a duke, it is only natural that she should be grander. Even if you are criticized behind your back by some thoughtful people, it is better than regretting after something happens.
Originally, she wanted to take Wayne with her, but for some reason, the words Ge Li mentioned, "Let Wayne come to me personally," suddenly flashed in his ears, and this thought dissipated like foam on the beach.
Although Wayne almost never mentions Song Li's name in front of him, after all, they have been in the same class and club for so many years... The relationship between the two of them is not very unfamiliar, right?
Chrissy couldn't help but have such thoughts in her mind.
Unconsciously, he frowned slightly, and there was an indescribable emotion lingering in his heart.
She shook her head and patted her face again, suppressing the inexplicable uneasiness in her heart.
Wayne is obsessed with him, how can he doubt his position? It must be because I have been a little upset recently, which affects my judgment!
However, beyond these small thoughts, she was clearly aware of the fact that she could not bear that possibility.
——The possibility of Wayne getting close to other girls behind his back.
When Wayne went downstairs with a cup of coffee, he saw Chris sitting on the sofa, getting ready, but looking at the door in a daze, seemingly slightly unhappy.
The maids who helped her pack her luggage had a clear division of labor and were quick with their hands and feet without making too much noise to disturb the young lady's contemplation.
In contrast, Wayne only felt that he was out of place in his home pajamas and his lazy demeanor.
However, as long as you are not embarrassed, others will be embarrassed. He naturally leaned on the edge of the sofa and admired the beauty who was lost in thought.
Probably because she was stared at by Wayne for too long, Chrissy's eyelashes trembled and she finally stopped pretending to turn a blind eye to him.
"What are you looking at?"
Wayne replied without thinking: "With such a beautiful Miss Chris right in front of me, it's hard to
Look away. "
She took a deep breath and ordered all the maids around her to step back.
After a while, only Wayne and Chris were left in the entire hall.
"So how does it compare to Song Li?" she asked softly.
Wayne: "...Huh?"
"Say, how do I compare to Song Li?" She looked at Wayne steadily.
From her earnest gaze, Vern realized that this question was very important to her.
Lowering his gaze to look at the slightly swaying coffee in the cup, Wayne thought for a while and said softly: "Compared to Song Li, you have another kind of beauty that is freer and more romantic."
He admitted that there was an element of flattery in the statement, but it was also sincere.
Although Chris seems to be a little willful and unruly, and she always comes up with whatever she wants, but...
What she carries in her heart is a soul that will not be bound.
I understand this so clearly. Should I say that I am lucky or unlucky?
Chris looked satisfied with the answer, smiled, and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, I won't be like that guy, disciplining myself in the name of my family all day long." However, she quickly changed the subject, "But, do you think this is my advantage?"
"Of course it's an advantage."
Even, it is an advantage that I admire and envy, but cannot possess anyway.
Wayne thinks so.
"No, this is my shortcoming." Chris sighed, "Even a shortcoming on my body that cannot be made up for in any way."
The slightly swaying coffee cup in his hand stopped, and the sunlight coming in from the window reflected some floating dust in the air, outlining a pale golden outline.
Chrissy touched the end of her slightly curly hair that hung on one side and was carefully managed to be extremely smooth. "I'm so lucky that in the past ten years, I seemed to have neither real pursuits nor real setbacks."
"The beautiful life that seems to be free and unrestrained is actually based on the inability of others to be free and unrestrained. Just like these gorgeous dresses and exquisite hair accessories, maybe the annual expenses of an ordinary family are not worth what I have. I don’t even need to know how much they are worth for the old clothes in my closet that will be replaced after being worn only a few times. In short, my father, mother... and you will silently pay and take care of everything for me."
In a very calm tone, she stated words that anyone who heard her would think she was showing off.
"To me, it seems that everything in this world can be done if you want to do it, and you can have it if you want it. The future will always develop in the direction I want."
"...But, real life shouldn't be like this."
She paused for a moment, "Therefore, I feel anxious about it, and worry that luck is just a temporary illusion in every free moment when I can look back on the past."
"Wayne, can this shortcoming be made up for?"
