Will giving such a signal at this time really make people think about it?

Could it be that-

I really didn't expect you to be such a duke with ulterior motives!

"It's just to give him a final guarantee." Seeing Wien showing a surprised expression, Elliot explained indifferently. "After all, Richard has been trained by the crown prince's standards for so many years. Even if he is a king, he can't give up just by saying he can give up."

Wien probably understands what he means.

To put it bluntly, it is to place a bet in advance and sell it to Richard.

"I also think it's better to be on Richard's side, but now facing this situation, how should we deal with it if the king puts pressure on it?" Wien pondered.

"Of course he said his, we do ours."

Elliot said for granted: "The more His Majesty the King needs our strength, the less he will have a relationship with us. Although it is unlikely that he will come to you two, if he does this, you both just throw all the problems to me and say that you don't understand the relevant situation."

...It's really a perfunctory way to deal with it.

It has to be said that what the king did this time was a big mistake. Although he successfully defeated Simon's conspiracy, many people could see clearly the strife of the relationship within the royal family.

This was undoubtedly an extremely heavy blow to his personal prestige.

If he could do it again, he would not have chosen to attack Richard when he was present.

But the key to life full of surprises is that what will happen in the future is unknown to everyone.

After spending more than an hour, Elliott told their family about the next plan and comforted Chris, worried that she would be afraid of what she saw tonight.

And Chris just shook his head and said nothing.

After the conversation, Elliot seemed to have many things to deal with. He said that he asked the children to go back to their room to rest early, but he continued to stay in the study.

Close the door and Wien looked back at Chris behind him.

Standing by the aisle window, she stared at the soft moonlight outside the house, as if she was worried.

Wien sighed inwardly, walked up and gently touched her hair.

"Do you feel that you can't fall asleep suddenly?" He guessed her thoughts accurately.

Hearing him say this, Chris looked up at him.

Her slightly frown seemed to have gathered many confusions that could not be answered.

"Always feel...Wyn, you don't seem to think that things are serious today."

It turned out that it had been seen.

Although Chad's actions were also beyond his expectations, what was happening at the moment was generally within control.

Wien thought for a while and said, "Of course it's very serious, but it's not enough to deal with it at all."

"No, I'm not referring to whether I can handle it."

Chris struggled for a while before he said in a low voice: "But... these things shouldn't have happened at first."

Wien's heart was shocked.

Have you finally started to doubt it?

"Yes." He followed Chris's words, but deliberately turned the original intention of the words into another direction. "As family, the kings and others treat each other more sincerely, and do not be entangled by those false fame and fortune, and things will not develop to this point."

Finding that he didn't understand what he meant, Chris raised his eyebrows.

After a long time of silence, she whispered: "Wine..."

"Um?"

"Will you become like this in the future?" She stared at the boy's pupils as if something special was contained.

Wien opened his mouth slightly in surprise.

“—Why do you ask that?”

Do you usually act like a person who is obsessed with greed?

"Because... my father has been deliberately raising you to come into contact with these things recently?" For some reason, her tone was a little sad.

"I always feel that one day, you will become like the ordinary nobles outside, and work hard all day long for those tragic things."

Wien didn't know how to refute the future she had imagined for a moment.

"Then you might as well imagine that when I get fat in middle age, then my hair will still be sparse," he complained.

Chris immediately showed a disgusting expression.

Seeing her expression change very clearly, Wien approached a step angrily: "Oh Chris~ You have shown your nature! Are you secretly thinking about what day I will kick me off when I am no longer handsome?"

After being beaten by him, Chris was angry and funny: "Hey! Don't talk nonsense there, how could I have that meaning?"

"No?"

Wien acted to put his ear close. "I heard it just now, and your heart said that this is what you think."

"It didn't say it, you heard it wrong." Chris retorted seriously.

"I have a good hearing, and I can't hear it wrong!" Wien insisted on his own opinion.

Looking at his unreasonable and insisting on cheating, Chris suddenly reached out and pressed his head, which had been kept at a certain distance, tightly on his chest.

"What about now?" she asked him, "Have you heard it clearly?"

Wien suddenly staggered by her, and barely hugged her waist before regaining her balance.

For a moment, Wien almost hung her whole body on her, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.

The heartbeat was thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-thump-th

But...it seems to be my own.

Subconsciously, he hugged her tighter with his backhand, and Wien closed his eyes, trying to experience it carefully.

——Chris, she has grown up too.

However, before he could finish his recollection, the girl suddenly pushed him away like a prank.

"Forget it if you can't hear it." She couldn't help laughing, "I didn't expect that Wien, your ears would be bad at a young age, but I won't dislike you, you don't have to feel inferior about it."

“…”

Wien looked at her speechlessly, with a grievance on his face.

"Okay, okay~" Chris patted his shoulder carelessly, "Don't look like I've bullied. No matter how pitiful I am, I won't be soft-hearted."

Now she is in a much better mood than before.

Recognizing this, Wien didn't know whether she should cry or laugh.

What to do? My girlfriend seems to feel better whenever she sees me being defeated.

...

After the two of them joking each other for a few words, Wien followed Chris back to her room and kept waiting for her to fall asleep before leaving quietly.
