Late at night at Hutto's house.
The small, cramped room was cold and dark.
"Snapped!!"
The loud bang on the table made the man sitting neatly in the chair tremble.
"I advise you to be honest and honest! Tell me everything you have hidden!!"
"me……"
"What am I? Now that things have happened, what else can you say to quibble?!!"
Enryu endured the pain in his palms and stared at Kaito with evil eyes, like a judge who tortured and extorted confessions.
"you……"
"What are you, do you still want to use your identity as a teacher to suppress me? I tell you, it won't work!" Otoru made a fist with his other hand and smashed it on the table again, "I must ask to get to the bottom of it today!"
"But……"
"No buts!"
In order to increase the pressure, Neru even reached across the table and grabbed Kaito's shoulders. However, due to the lack of altitude, her belly was completely pressed against the table, making her movements look funny and cute.
"You have to tell me the reason why you concealed your identity!" Otoru shook Kaito's shoulders violently and made a threatening sound in his mouth.
Kaito's face became increasingly helpless, and he finally grabbed Otoru's wrist to stop her from dangling: "I didn't say I wouldn't say it, but at least you have to give me a chance!"
"Huh? Uh..."
Otoru's body froze, and Kaito stood up and put him back to the opposite side.
"You too, just watching your sister fool around?" Hairen glared at Jerry.
"Ah, don't I think the scene of Enryu "interrogating" a prince is very interesting, and I want to see how the situation will develop." Jerry made a happy voice.
"You really are!" Hairen couldn't laugh or cry.
The last scene of the reception and dance, where the prince of the kingdom and the princess of the empire danced together, made all the guests excited. They already had a premonition of the prosperous development of the two countries in the future, as well as their own pockets that would become increasingly "full".
As for the theater troupe, they learned that Hairen's true identity is the eldest prince of the kingdom and the first heir to the king!
Even Jerry, who had expected it, was still a little unbelievable when he saw that the person dancing with Liliana on the high platform was a sea man.
The mentor I studied with and the big brother I worked with turned out to be the prince of a country!
This is a living prince, and he can actually carry wooden beams, build stoves, and move stones and bricks with him...
Recalling all the things he did in his daily life, Jerry always had an unreal feeling.
It's like the king next door suddenly confesses to you that he is actually the richest man in the world... ahem, this metaphor is inappropriate. Hairen's temperament is still very good, but the gap is almost the same.
"An, did you know this already?" Miku asked, looking at An who was not surprised at all.
"Ah, almost." An looked at Mei Ke, "The first one to know should be my sister. I guessed it based on her reaction."
"Hiss—is it that obvious?" Mei Ke said awkwardly, rubbing the back of her head.
Miku nodded thoughtfully and suddenly looked at Liu Ge and Bai. They didn't look shocked.
"Could it be that Sister Liuge and Sister Bai have known about it for a long time?"
Bai and Liu Ge looked at each other.
Liu Ge stretched out her hand to straighten Meiko, which meant that she also guessed it from Meiko.
"I only found out about his identity when I met him at the palace rehearsal two days ago." Bai said apologetically.
"Then Uncle Hutto and the others must know it too!" Miku stepped in and said angrily, "Really, you didn't even tell me!"
"Cough." An coughed awkwardly.
In fact, Hairen did not deliberately conceal his identity, he just didn't find a chance to say it. In the end, the only people who knew it were Miku and Neto. Others had more or less noticed it in advance. He originally thought Miku could guess it too...
It seems that her reasoning ability fluctuates high and low.
"That's wrong!" Enryu noticed something strange. "Since Brother Kaito is the prince of the kingdom, why didn't we recognize him after we came to the royal capital and met so many people in the royal capital along the way?"
Looking back carefully, even at the end of the dance, many people showed surprise when they saw that it was Hairen who invited Liliana to dance.
This means that many people do not know in advance what the first heir to the kingdom looks like. How is this possible?
Hairen said with some shame: "Ashamed to say, the dance was the first time I showed my face in public."
When he was young, the complicated lessons of the royal family took up most of Hairen's time. Abundant resources and unique talent allowed him to become a tutor at the Wangdu Conservatory of Music at the age of sixteen. After he turned sixteen, he traveled again and joined a theater troupe. He traveled around with everyone and won a wide range of achievements. reputation.
When it comes to the prince of the kingdom, not many people across the sea know about it, but when it comes to the troupe's singing prince Kaito, there are many people who are enthusiastic about it.
With such an achievement, it makes sense that he doesn't have the opportunity to show his face with the royal family of the kingdom.
Now that I think about it, Zai Ren often disappears, maybe not because of affairs in the academy, but to deal with issues related to the royal family. After all, it's fine for an heir to the throne not to show his face in public, but it would be really outrageous if he didn't even show up in the palace.
According to this line of thinking, maybe the royal family of the kingdom is helping Hai Ren conceal his identity:
Not only to maintain the face of the royal family, but also to protect the safety of Hairen.
"You are so incompetent as a prince." Otoru complained.
Hairen pretended to threaten: "You know I'm a prince, but you still dare to talk to me like this?"
Yinliu was not timid at all: "If you have the ability, just lock me in and try!"
A smile appeared on Hairen's lips.
Although he had long believed that even if his identity was exposed, he would not be separated from his companions, but he still felt happy when he heard Otoru's "domineering and revealing" words.
Even if there is a blood relationship between the royal families, there will still be a vague sense of distance. Especially the fear and alienation from his younger brothers and sisters made Haige particularly heartbroken.
Sea people hate this distance.
In front of everyone in the theater troupe, he prefers to think of himself as the prince of ballads, Kaito, rather than the prince of the kingdom, Kanter. He cares more about the closeness with everyone and enjoys this closeness more.
more importantly……
Hairen looked at Mei Ke subconsciously, and his heart felt a little warmer.
Yinliu looked along his line of sight, rolled his eyes, and smiled evilly at the corner of his mouth: "Speaking of which, Brother Kaito, why did you hide your identity from us, but told Sister Meiko?"
Kairen and Meiko stiffened, and embarrassment appeared on their faces at the same time.
An was also stunned. With his quick thinking, he quickly thought of the reason, and then showed a happy expression. Others also looked at the two parties involved, some were curious and some were watching the show.
"This, this..." Hairen hesitated and couldn't speak.
Mei Ke also hesitated to speak, not daring to look at anyone present.
"Hey, is there any ulterior reason?" Yinliu said to Meiko in an exaggerated tone.
Meiko usually teased her a lot, but now she finally had a chance to take revenge, and Yinliu felt filled with the satisfaction of getting revenge.
"No!" Mei Ke retorted loudly, "No, it's just..."
She lost her voice again as she spoke.
Bai covered his mouth and opened his eyes wide.
She had never seen Meike's shy cheeks, dodgy eyes, and coquettish movements. At first glance, she looked so lively!
At this point, even the dullest person should have noticed it.
The time for Hairen to reveal his identity must be that time!
"Has he already confessed? When?!" Liu Ge grabbed Mei Ke's hand and asked with a bit of excitement on his usually calm face.
Kaito covered his face and seemed to want to get under the table. But as a man, he can't embarrass Mei Ke.
"Yes, it was a year ago, just before An joined." Hairen stuttered, "Yes, I propose that An join the theater troupe. This way, she won't have to run home so often."
"Oh-oh--" A crowd of people started making noises.
Everyone originally thought that Kaito and Meiko just had a crush on each other, but they didn't expect that Kaito had confessed his feelings early.
Needless to say, he must have confessed his identity after Mei Ke agreed, and also suggested to Mei Ke that his brother-in-law should join the theater troupe together, so that she would not have to travel between two places all the time...
This news is quite exciting!
An couldn't help but smile when she heard Hairen's words.
No wonder the elder sister didn’t take her with her early or later, but it happened that she took her into the theater troupe at that time. It turned out that there was such a relationship!
"Haha——" An couldn't help laughing. Not only was it funny that Kaito looked like an innocent boy, but he was also happy for his sister.
After laughing a few times, An controlled herself and silently bowed to Hairen.
"What do you mean?!" Seeing her brother's behavior, Mei Ke suddenly became furious.
"I have to thank..." Anla said in a long tone, "Thank him for proving that my sister is not unwanted, haha——"
An has been worried about his sister's life-long events for a long time, and now that her brother-in-law finally has some clues, he is happy and more or less grateful to Hairen.
The gratitude that could not be expressed directly became his half-joking words.
"You!" Mei Ke was embarrassed and annoyed, "You brat! Come here!"
Mei Ke bared her teeth and claws and pounced on An, but with An's skill, she couldn't catch him at all. An jumped up and down, avoiding Mei Ke's pursuit.
"Hai Ren! Come here and help me!!" Mei Ke shouted angrily.
Hairen shook his hands. One was his lover and the other was his future brother-in-law. He didn't know whether he should help or not.
The atmosphere suddenly became cheerful.
After all, Hairen couldn't bear the pressure and helped Meiko symbolically. An also gave Hairen some face, pretending to escape in danger several times to make him less embarrassed.
If you really think about it, An would like to thank Hairen for more than just him allowing her sister to find happiness...
Amidst the laughter, An took his time and looked at Miku. Miku's eyes were smiling, and she happened to look at him.
