The lights in the interior are so bright that they are almost dazzling, and the accessories worn by every guest are shining brightly.

On the side of the banquet hall, a well-known band played soothing music to adjust the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, although no one deliberately makes noise, it is inevitable that noise will be heard in a large number of occasions. Such a noisy environment is not suitable to sit down quietly and listen to these people’s hard work.

"Wynn! Chris!"

Suddenly hearing someone calling his name behind his back, Wien and Chris stopped.

The one who called them was Lawrence, who was also dressed in formal clothes.

He walked over quickly, and while seeing his friend's joy, he couldn't help but blurt out a few words: "There are too many guests invited today, and many nobles who were not qualified to get admission were invited this time."

After saying that, he glanced at the band playing next to him with unhappy pleasure. "The band is too, it shouldn't be set in such an impetuous place..."

It is easy to hear from his mumblings that he has a lot of opinions on the arrangements for the dinner.

Wien smiled. "Maybe in the next time you encounter this kind of thing, Lawrence, you can give His Majesty the King a better suggestion?"

"Forget it." Lawrence vetoed without thinking.

"That person couldn't listen to anyone's advice."

Wien pretended not to hear his unconcealed resentment towards the king.

Compared to Prince Richard, who was busy with tasks, the control over Lawrence was obviously much relaxed. He did not need to follow the king's butt as a pendant like Richard, but could wander around freely.

However, seeing that Wien was reluctant to comment on his words, Lawrence seemed to realize that he had made a mistake.

He quickly changed the subject and sighed: "Think about it carefully, this kind of activity should be hosted by you. The Lily Club's Masquerade is much more interesting than this boring dinner."

"That won't work." Wien replied half-jokingly and half-seriously, "I don't have the money to afford so many people's food and drink."

Lawrence was very disbelieving about this.

"Don't lie to me! The Leaf Publishing House under your name has made a lot of money, and even I have heard of it."

Good guy... Could it be that your tone has already secretly glanced at my wallet?

When Wien heard this, he looked at Chris and said with a grievance: "Since Leaf Publishing House was founded by Chris, of course, the money earned by Chris is all Chris' own private money."

"Well~" Wien nodded in self-identification, "her money is her own, and mine is also hers."

She said this on purpose even though she wanted to like Chris, and thought she would be very happy with this typical loyal dog remark, but Chris became embarrassed when she heard it.

"How could I say that?" She stamped her feet and said angrily, "I have never been so obvious with you!"

"Then would you like to ask me to spend money to invite a lot of friends to eat, drink and dance?"

"no."

——Answer in seconds.

Vinn immediately smiled like "I knew it would be like this".

Lawrence reacted and complained with dissatisfaction: "Wait, don't automatically set your friends as friends!"

"Besides, if you came forward to plan the banquet content for the royal family, my father would definitely reimburse the expenses." For some reason, the latter sentence gave people a very guilty look.

Since you are so sure, don’t lower the volume if you have the ability!

"Ahem... let's not discuss such things that don't even have a shadow," said Wien.

He originally planned to deal with Lawrence first and then go to Marquis O'Neal's side, but he didn't expect that Lawrence had no intention of leaving at all for a while.

So he had to ask at the same time: "We are going to say hello to Marquis O'Neill, are you going together?"

"Marquis O'Neill, who?" Lawrence looked confused.

Only then did Wien remember that Lawrence had been fostered abroad before, and was not familiar with most of the nobles in China.

He looked around and confirmed that no one was paying attention to his conversation, and then he whispered to briefly introduce the situation of the O'Neal's house to Lawrence.

"Ah! I remembered the family when you say that their children are stupid. I have heard of it, but I just didn't remember their names." Lawrence suddenly realized.

"At the banquet just now, we already met Roy O'Neal and Vivian O'Neal. We had to stop the conversation because His Majesty the King appeared, so we wanted to see them again now." Wien explained.

After hearing what he said, Lawrence showed hesitation.

“…Is there no problem with those two children?”

"Question? Are you referring to?" Wien didn't know what puzzle he was fighting.

Lawrence took a deep breath before whispering: "Some people say that those two children have been cursed to become what they are now."

"Curse?" Wien repeated in confusion.

Is it the [curse] I understand? If I remember correctly, I have only heard this specific word once.

"It can be said to be a... twisted magical style. According to legend, it was once the secret of every generation of monarchs of the Principal of Milistan. It seems to have a close connection with the magic of darkness." Lawrence described it as if he tried his best and abstractly. "But with the demise of the Principal of Milistan, all these secrets of the past were buried in time."

"Who told you this?" Wien asked him suddenly.

"Uh..." Lawrence paused, "I saw it in a book I borrowed from the Kingdom of Stuart."

Speaking of this, his expression was a little entangled. "But Lorens's side... seemed to have deliberately erased the records of that principality and could not find any documents involving its actual situation."

really.

Although the deeds of the "Fight of the Fog and Moon" and those meritorious generals have been widely publicized throughout the kingdom. However, in the story, the destroyed principality is just a background board like a background board in the story.

It seems that the meaning of its appearance is just to highlight the unparalleled achievements of the rulers and ministers of the Kingdom of Lorns.

"After all, we are the winners." Wien couldn't help but sigh softly, "Victory is written by us."

"This sentence makes sense..." Lawrence seemed to be amazed by his description.

"Oh, it was Chris who told me." Wien immediately blamed him.
