"Hyman Agnes." Young Toshiyan introduced himself, even the arc of his smile seemed to be measured with a ruler.

Looking at him, Wayne suddenly thought of another person.

Darcy, the former student union president, has long since disappeared.

Perhaps, people in similar situations will have similar personalities, which is also a kind of screening catalyst under natural conditions.

"I've heard your name."

The Agnes family is also a well-known noble in the royal capital, but they have never had much contact with their own family.

"I'm not very honored." His tone told you it was just for show.

"I wonder if Master Wayne will be free later? I have something important to discuss." As if he was afraid of being rejected by Wayne, Heyman paused and emphasized meaningfully: "The news I brought will definitely not

Let you down."

Wayne glanced in the direction of the chairman, calmly straightened his clothes, and declined: "My time is precious..."

When it comes to the pretentiousness of noble children, Wayne thinks he is no weaker than others.

Realizing that Wayne did not take his words seriously, he immediately said solemnly: "Please forgive me for being rude, but I must tell you that its value must be worth your time."

Looking around at the guests, he saw that everyone was attracted by His Majesty the King who came to the banquet hall. Heyman lowered his voice: "It has something to do with the lady next to His Majesty the King... That woman has no good intentions towards your family.

"

Wayne looked stern.

He took a deep look at the young man and said nothing more.

"Meet you outside on the terrace later."

In this short moment, many possibilities popped up in Wayne's mind, but he rejected them one by one.

It is impossible for these people to know that they are insiders, and naturally they will not go out of their way to test themselves. Could it be that people from other families have also noticed the origin of Mrs. Cherry and are preparing to fight back together under the banner of their own family? However, this is also

It is not an unimaginable thing. Anything that appears around His Majesty the King will be held up to a magnifying glass and observed repeatedly by those who are interested.

This time, it is just a reenactment of a play that has been performed countless times in the past.

With speculation about the meaning behind this incident, Wayne followed Harold to meet the king.

This is a reserved item for the royal family to organize banquets, but the only difference from the past is that the gentle and charitable queen who accompanies His Majesty the King is no longer the same.

"I had met Master Wayne several times before due to painting reasons."

Holding the king's arm gently, Mrs. Cherry smiled and exchanged a few words with Wayne calmly.

Because of her sensitive status, she had very little contact with the upper-class nobles of the royal capital. Even the Wenche family, with whom she had only superficially cooperated a few times, was already considered to have had more interactions with them.

After hearing Cherry's words, the king also turned his gaze to Wayne, and said with a gentle expression: "Well, I have heard several recommendations from Cherry... Speaking of which, I am also a member of the Royal Capital Morning News and Comics Journal.

Loyal readers. To be able to operate this newly emerged industry so impressively at such a young age is really formidable."

"Your Majesty is so complimentary. This is not just my fault." As soon as the topic started, Wayne understood what he meant.

As long as the Winche family comes forward to endorse and recognize the favor given by Mrs. Cherry, Mrs. Cherry can get rid of her embarrassing situation in the aristocratic circle. The king's idea of ​​trying to win over supporters is the same as that of some families who are working secretly.

But it went in the opposite direction.

Wayne is fully confident that if he puts forward some not-so-excessive profit demands on the topic of the publishing house at this moment, His Majesty the King will definitely agree generously.

But those things are neither necessary nor enjoyable for him.

After hinting back and forth several times, Wayne refused to accept the olive branch, and the king frowned slightly displeased. Mrs. Cherry, on the other hand, did not seem to insist on this, and smiled and changed the subject.

"How's it going?" When Wayne finally found a chance to step away from the king, Harold came over to whisper to him in a playful tone.

"Are the Winche family ready to respond to His Majesty's will?"

Wayne glanced at him angrily and asked instead, "So, Chairman, what's your position?"

Harold smiled like an old fox, "Me? I never have a position. They can fight however they like. I only stand on the side of the winner."

...You are worthy of being able to say such words without changing your expression.

However, due to the kingdom's tradition and some practical factors, the neutrality of Qingxi Academy is often a balance that all parties want to maintain. Harold's attitude of always not caring about his own affairs can make others feel at ease about him.

.

Thinking about this, Wayne suddenly realized the problem.

Harold's recent behavior of tying himself onto a pirate ship does not seem like he wants to remain neutral in the increasingly fierce struggle. Or is he planning to stay with his family for warmth to avoid being affected?

Wayne looked at him suspiciously, but Harold just smiled and said nothing.

"By the way, help me out later." Wayne said in a low voice, "I made an appointment to meet on the terrace outside..."

Perhaps because he had dealt with old foxes too much recently, Wayne also learned a bit about the true meaning of the push-pull technique.

Harold seemed to understand the situation he was facing and agreed simply.

With Harold as his insurance policy, Wayne said no more, looked around, and quietly left the royal banquet hall where no one was paying attention to him.

But what he didn't notice was that standing on the other side of the crowd, he seemed not to care at all about the singing of others around him and caught a glimpse of his leaving back. He secretly whispered something to the unattractive girl next to him. The girl looked at him from a distance.

Wayne glanced in the direction he was leaving, nodded slightly to Ge Li, and then left the crowd.

The terrace outside the banquet hall.

As this splendid building that is often chosen as a banquet venue by kings, all designs are made by the kingdom's top masters and the most precious materials, and the internal structure is extremely exquisite. When guests walk through the winding terrace corridors from

When you move indoors to the outdoors, you can feel the gentle breeze blowing. Looking far away at the open night moon and starry sky hanging high in the mirror-like sky, the noisy noise from the banquet hall behind gradually fades away, and a feeling of tranquility suddenly arises in your bored or restless heart.

.

However, although it was much quieter than in the banquet hall, the guests who met in groups on the terrace would occasionally burst into hearty laughter when they talked about their passions.

"Master Wayne, please come over here." Heyman stepped forward in time to respond without letting Wayne bother to search.
