But Wei Lan just sat there, staring blankly at the rich breakfast in front of him. Of all the sounds around him, he could only hear those talking about Al.

Although he really wanted to slap them in the mouth, he couldn't do it now.

His and Winnie's actions were seen by everyone present, and gradually everyone's attention was focused on them.

Someone exclaimed quietly.

"Oh! You see, after what happened yesterday, the princess doesn't want to sit next to Crown Prince Ryan!"

"Even though the maid had pulled out the chair next to him, he refused to sit next to the Crown Prince and actually pulled out the chair himself!"

"Humph - of course he doesn't want to. Didn't he approach him just to curry favor with him?"

"But he is still the crown prince after all. If he is trying to curry favor with him, then it is totally fine."

"Haha - I really don't know whether you are really stupid or just pretending to be stupid. Didn't Crown Prince William come back yesterday just to support us?"

"It was rumored in the past that Crown Prince William had a bad relationship with his father. It was confirmed that the Crown Prince would not come to the banquet this time, but who knew that he would suddenly come back!"

The man looked as if he had suddenly realized something.

"Oh my god, speaking of Crown Prince William, don't you think he's really handsome? In the past, when I heard those rumors, I thought he was an ugly and strong man like a bear or a lion!"

"Yeah! This makes it even more comparable..."

"Both are princes of powerful countries in the international arena. One is so handsome and brave, but the other is..."

As they talked, several of them started smacking their lips.

Wei Lan felt a breath stuck in his throat when he heard this. If Richard was really as they said, then it would be a miracle.

He is simply a shameless beast.

There were also those words criticizing Al again. Wei Lan couldn't help it. He glanced at Al cautiously and stealthily. This child was probably going to swallow these words again.

But this time he turned his head, although Al was still sitting there with his eyes downcast as usual, Wei Lan suddenly couldn't understand what he was thinking.

His lips were just slightly pursed, and his thin eyelashes half-covered a light shadow on his drooping eyes, with obvious dark circles underneath.

The lips on her fair face were not as rosy as before, and had a sickly pale color from not getting enough rest.

Al knew that Wei Lan was looking at him, but he didn't dare to respond directly, not even to move. But it wasn't because of that panic-stricken timidity...

He had a strange feeling about him.

From the initial budding joy, love...? Possession, it gradually turned into a feeling that even he couldn't understand, was it hatred...?

Hate him for deceiving you? Hate him for seducing you, getting close to you, and using you?

But the biggest one is...

Hate him for not liking himself?

How funny.

The princess had rejected him so clearly and said such heart-wrenching words to him, but he was still thinking about this.

And what happened last night.

Al gradually narrowed his eyes and unconsciously clutched his trouser legs, thinking about what happened last night.

He heard...

The princess's moans were completely uncontrollable.

The abominable thing is that when he was filled with hatred and heartbreak, he himself...

Just by listening to the voice, he seemed to be able to imagine the princess's expression.

That kind of confusion was filled with mist, red lips, a face twisted with pain and joy, and the uncontrollable beautiful music that came out of his mouth.

Even when he was asleep, he had such a dream.

He dreamed that he suppressed him and treated him cruelly.

Dreaming about...his expression.

In the past, he would have felt ashamed and guilty for having such a dream.

But when he knew what happened last night, he thought about what happened in the room on the day when Crown Prince William came.

He couldn't help but get angry.

And even after what happened, the princess still lied to him and pretended to favor him.

If he hadn't wanted to take the princess away last night...hahahaha

He remembered what the princess said again.

"If you hadn't suddenly and foolishly wanted to take me away, I would have been able to pretend until you left."

Even then, there was still a lingering tug in his shattered hopes.

After the knight brought him back, he stumbled back into the room, still wanting to knock on the princess's door.

He heard those faint voices but they were clear to him.

What’s funny is that he later associated those things with his past and even had that dream.

His already withered heart had changed.

Since the princess wanted power, status and everything, what if he got all of them?

Even if it's not possible, he will get him when the time comes.

He wanted to control him. He wanted to hold him, to capture him, to see the expression on his face.

Then destroy him.

He would make him pay the price for deceiving him.

Build him the most beautiful "cage" in the empire so that he can never escape.

But suddenly.

Al was burned by what he was thinking, but it was not the thought of fear.

Ah... Actually, he had already fantasized about it a long time ago, right?

On that day, he had already thought that he must sit on the throne of the crown prince and imprison him forever.

......

Wei Lan didn't know what he was thinking. Just as he was trying to look away, a figure suddenly appeared behind him.

The people around him had already started to change their tone in the first few seconds.

Wei Lan felt that his eyes suddenly darkened, and his eyes were covered. Richard's low and faint voice came from above his head:

"What kind of crap is your sister watching?"

Wei Lan felt annoyed when she saw him and was about to slap his hand away, but he let go immediately. A servant pulled out a chair next to him, and he sat down gracefully.

That's the seat next to Al.

As Richard sat down, his long, bony fingertips and palms supported his face.

Smiling and looking at Wei Lan,

"Sister, are you being sensible today?"

Wei Lan frowned, not knowing what he was talking about, so he simply didn't reply.

The people around him are either afraid of him or praise him to their hearts' content.

At the same time, King William and the Queen arrived. King William was obviously in a very good mood because of what happened yesterday.

King William began his speech again, saying that the past few days had ended so quickly...blah.

Wei Lan was lost in thought as she listened to him speak, when suddenly a silver fork appeared in her field of vision, with a piece of neatly cut hibiscus bread on it.

There is a thin layer of cream on top and some fruit in the middle, which looks very tempting.

While looking at the food, Wei Lan felt his stomach growling. He hadn't eaten anything last night and had been hungry for a long time.

But when he saw the person holding the fork, his narrow eyes were tilted upwards, his pupils were dazzling like gold, and he fed him cake with one hand.

But his eyes were not on the cake. He was staring at him, his voice was neither too loud nor too soft, and everyone around could hear it:

"Sister, are you hungry?"

"You didn't eat much last night and you exercised for a long time. You also worked out hard in the morning... I'm afraid you can't handle it anymore, right?"
