Walking along the stairs to the second floor, she saw Leonhardt walking this way from a distance, and An immediately shut her mouth and stopped talking.
Miku smiled secretly but said nothing.
Leonhardt, who was wearing a mask, approached and said, "You just came up, and I was about to call you."
"Are you all here? We still have to wait for a while before we come up." An said helplessly. He didn't expect that he would waste some time in vain.
He had not seen the guest list, not to mention how confidential it was. Even though the list was full of important figures in the kingdom, the value of this list did have a certain weight, but it was not for this reason that An had not seen the list.
In fact, he and Miku were the only ones who hadn't touched the guest list.
As the organizers, Leonhardt and the others received the list after the Hutto family selected the candidates, and Meiko and the others also made the invitation letter based on the list. However, neither An nor Miku could participate.
Originally, An didn't need to receive guests on the first floor, but the restaurant had a big oolong problem due to lack of ingredients. He thought that he had to make the remaining details in place, so he came up with this.
It's not particularly difficult to distinguish visitors here. He has been praised by most people for his adaptability and conversational skills. But he had no way of knowing how many guests there were in total.
Leonhardt also knew this, so after confirming that the good guys were all present, he quickly came over and called them:
"There's still time, go change your clothes quickly."
When the banquet begins, An, Miku and Liliana will address the invited guests together. Although Liliana said most of the words, the two people who were the protagonists of the engagement party still had to dress up.
An nodded to Leonhardt and took Miku's hand to walk to the predetermined cubicle for changing clothes.
When the two sides met, Leonhardt looked at Miku's eyes that always stayed on An, containing joy and love, and the expression under the mask was a little sour.
From birth to now, there are only a handful of women who have attracted his affection, and Miku happens to be one of them. For others, such as Sister Xiaoyue, he could think of the reasons for his affection, but for Miku, it was difficult to find an accurate answer.
Leonhardt once thought that he fell in love with her at first sight, and his feelings gradually moved closer to liking her. But after learning about her relationship with An, this trend stopped abruptly.
Leonhardt himself had pondered that maybe he really liked Miku, but since Miku was already with An, there was no need for him to let this feeling continue to ferment, let alone take any action.
Having controlled the Imperial City Guards for so many years, although Leonhardt is young, he is no longer a young boy. He is the best in tactics, military strategies, and strategies. Otherwise, even with the help of the old guards, he would be crushed to pieces by the whirlpool of struggle among the nobles.
Now he knows what he wants and what he needs most.
The young love between a boy and a girl may indeed become an unforgettable memory in life, but this is not what Leonhardt wants. He must protect his sister, help her grow, and persist together until Brother Wang returns. This is What he wants to do!
Leonhardt has a very good understanding of himself. He is not a character in a romantic drama, and he will not fight to the death for an excellent woman. He is the captain of the Imperial Guard, the sharpest sword that protects the imperial royal family. The same is true even after Brother Wang returns!
Maybe in the future he will encounter an unforgettable love that will shake his current thoughts. But my good impression of Miku is far from that.
Moreover, looking at the two people running hand in hand, Leonhardt couldn't bear the slightest selfish thought.
However, acid cannot be controlled.
Leonhardt adjusted his emotions while comforting himself that he would definitely encounter a beautiful relationship in the future.
At this moment, he suddenly saw An in front of him turning his head, with an intriguing smile on his lips.
"..." Leonhardt suddenly froze.
It’s over, it’s been seen!
He subconsciously wanted to cover his face, but forgot that he was wearing a mask.
I’m too embarrassed to see anyone! ! !
Leonhardt felt a little broken inside.
After struggling in his heart for a long time, when he raised his head again, he saw An standing alone outside the cubicle, and the smile on his face became much softer.
Leonhardt couldn't help but be startled.
He saw Ann slowly raise her hand and give a thumbs up. That smile and movements seemed to be praising and encouraging...
Then Ancai walked into the cubicle.
Leonhardt stood for a long time and suddenly laughed: "Is this to praise me for finally growing up, and to encourage me that I will definitely meet someone I like in the future?"
He laughed again, but this time, he stood up straight.
Liliana walked out of the banquet hall and was stunned when she saw Leonhardt and said, "What are you giggling about? Didn't I ask you to tell them to change clothes?"
"I've already changed it." Leonhardt stopped laughing and looked at Liliana and said, "Ling, I still remember when I was a child, I tried my best to get Brother Wang to praise me for my uniqueness, but I failed even once. ?"
"Remember." Liliana raised her eyebrows, "At that time, you were not as... calm as you are now."
She thought about it for a while, and then honestly said the words of praise.
"That's why I feel very complicated right now." Leonhardt sighed, and couldn't help but laugh afterward.
Liliana couldn't help but take a step back.
…
The engagement banquet went smoothly as planned, no, maybe it went more smoothly than imagined.
Liliana was satisfied with being a master of ceremonies. She gave a speech at an engagement party as if it were a wedding ceremony. The two protagonists were quite embarrassed. Relatives and friends burst into laughter, and the invited guests also unconsciously exposed their faces. smiled.
Thanks to An's ability to speak, he suddenly brought the atmosphere back, which made many people pay more attention to him. The dishes at the banquet also surprised some nobles who loved gourmet food. After learning that An provided the menu, they were even more impressed by him. This resulted in more people than expected looking for opportunities to have a relationship with An Pan after the speech, which relieved Liliana's burden in a disguised way.
Facing the swarm of nobles, An did not panic. He protected Miku by his side and dealt with the enthusiastic guests appropriately.
After seeing An and Miku's predicament, Ryan, Bai Lan, Caroline and Shia did not stand idly by, but found opportunities to come over and help them share some of the pressure.
In the eyes of more and more people, An has become Hutto's successor, so they become more enthusiastic. Some people even gave up the idea of asking for information from Liliana and came to talk to An instead.
After the initial adaptation, Miku also started talking to them. Her elegant posture, calm tone and demeanor made many people change their attitude towards her, and her words were more sincere and respectful, as if they were talking to Saya.
The warm atmosphere of the banquet lasted from the beginning to the end, and until late at night, everyone began to leave with unfinished business.
