Otoko Game: Male protagonists, I’m just a scumbag

Wei Lan was not particularly moved by the smile because the center of his head was aching.

"what happened?"

he asked.

Seeing his strange expression, Al quickly apologized:

"I'm sorry, I missed you for not eating for so long..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wei Lan realized that his stomach was growling and he was choking with hunger.

So he raised his eyebrows and said, "Let's go."

The two arrived at the restaurant. There was no one there at the moment. Winnie brought up a bowl of food with a smile. Wei Lan sat down and took a look at the food.

I thought, no, is our country out of money? Why do I have to eat this?

Then Winnie's eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, as if she was about to suffocate.

Wei Lan used a porcelain spoon to scoop out the soft and sticky stuff that looked like white fungus paste in the bowl and glanced at Winnie.

Poisoned?

Then, seeing Al's expectant expression, Wei Lan became even more puzzled and asked:

"If you want to eat, I'll give it to you?"

He would replace it with a bowl of fish and meat to make up for the fat he had lost in the past two days.

Al shook his head frantically to indicate that he didn't need it.

Wei Lan had no choice but to scoop out some more food from the bowl and put the last bite into his mouth. He found it was soft, sticky, smooth and a little sweet, and quite delicious.

I instantly felt much better.

"By the way, how is your injury?" he asked.

Al shook his head.

"Nothing's wrong."

When he mentioned this, his expression darkened.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness Stephen, I've caused you trouble... If it were me,"

"I know," Wei Lan interrupted him.

"It's okay, I'm glad you're not hurt. His Highness Ryan is still so young, so of course I have to protect him more."

After finishing the last sip, he burped and turned to look at Winnie.

"one more bowl."

"I'm not younger than you, my older brother is..." Al retorted hurriedly, but suddenly realized something, and his fingertips on his thigh pinched into the flesh.

This idiot, Wei Lan thought to himself, and immediately raised his eyes and asked,

"Ah? What did His Highness Ryan just say?"

Al obviously breathed a sigh of relief, but his green eyes deepened a little. Some of what his elder brother and father said were right...

In the evening, in order to deal with some rumors, Wei Lan was asked by King William to attend tonight's dinner.

Wei Lan originally wanted to use what happened in the forest to refuse, but suddenly remembered that he had a mission tonight, so he had to agree.

At the party, some people were dancing in the middle, while some young people were sitting at the long tables on both sides and chatting.

Perhaps it was because he had a few arguments with this group of young princesses and princes before the last hunt. Somehow some rumors about him were spread among these people.

Princess Bara glanced at Wei Lan, expecting him to be angry, but he pretended not to hear. The group of people had clearly spoken loudly on purpose so that he could hear.

Wei Lan didn't pay attention to other people's expressions because he found that there were some new rumors about Ai'er this time.

Wei Lan pressed his temple and saw Al who had just come over. He thought that the two of them were really brothers in distress.

It's a pity that in the end, only Wei Lan suffered. Why?!

"Ah! Look, here he comes."

"I heard a rumor that he is not the real crown prince of Iris Kingdom!"

"Don't tell me it must be true! He was injured by a wild beast in the hunting ground and had to rest for nearly a day. I have heard of the crown prince's name a long time ago. He can't be so useless."

"Yeah, look at how cowardly he was that day. He really doesn't look like a noble at all. What do you say, why don't we try it later?"

"If it's not the case, then Princess William is so hot-tempered when she sees a man. Isn't that currying favor with the wrong person?"

"Humph - they are a perfect match. Didn't we just talk about Princess William?"

"You are talking so loudly, aren't you afraid that others will hear you?"

"What are you afraid of? Don't you want people to tell the truth? Let's not talk about the one from Iris Country. I heard about the deeds of this princess from the nobles of her family. She is just a whore..."

Several ladies raised their folding fans, and the men held their gentleman's canes in their hands, and they all giggled.

"...You guys!" Al had just sat next to Wei Lan when he heard a few words they said and immediately stood up again.

Wei Lan pulled him to sit down and said, "Be good."

Then he took out the big pipe of the man next to him, shook the still warm ash in his hand, and walked forward, finally stopping between a man who was about to eat.

It was the person who spoke the loudest, and he was also the prince of the most powerful country among them.

Wei Lan raised one hand and patted his shoulder with his empty hand. The people around him looked at this scene in a daze, not knowing what he was going to do.

The prince turned his head and frowned, "What are you doing... Ugh!"

The moment he opened his mouth, Wei Lan raised his hand and slapped the ash in his hand into his mouth, and the prince choked and started coughing violently.

Wei Lan laughed.

"Did you choke because you talked too much just now? Do you need me to order the servants to give you some water?"

The servants behind the prince looked at the scene in horror. Crazy...crazy! How dare he treat their crown prince like this?

Wei Lan ignored him and whispered in his ear, like a devil:

"Your country ranks seventh, what does it mean? Do you want your father to be forced to accept the war provoked because of you? We have a madman in our empire."

A madman who gives hearts to people on their birthdays.

Wei Lan felt refreshed as soon as he finished speaking. He dared to say it so directly now because he had some understanding of this world, and the king would not go crazy with him for no reason.

[System: Arousing public anger +6 points.]

The system's voice rang in his mind again, but Wei Lan didn't pay much attention to it and sat back in his seat. Ai'er looked at him with sparkling eyes, and Wei Lan became even more proud.

I feel like I'm admired by my younger brothers.

Princess Bala also looked at him, her face full of shock.

------

The next day passed peacefully, and the banquet went on as usual. During these few days, the countries reached certain agreements and all knew who they should approach to gain more benefits.

Last morning.

Except for the first 15 points, all other tasks were completed, so he managed to make up for the 10 points, although he didn't know to what extent the two of them were close.

Wei Lan hid behind the rose bushes. He had just deliberately asked Ai'er to come over, and the heroine also showed up as usual. He was far away and only saw the two of them talking for a few words, and had no idea what it was about.

I just saw Al stroking the back of his neck, which was what he did when he was nervous, and his face turned visibly red!

Ah!

Wei Lan was very sure that even though the incident in the forest did not happen, there should be no problem with all these things happening.

[System: Mission completed, +4 points.]

Now he was even more convinced.

After Hathaway left, he walked over slowly after a few minutes.

"Your Highness Ryan, I'm so sorry, I was late because of something urgent."

He originally wanted to say one more thing, saying that he had something to do and would go back first, but who knew that he was interrupted before he could finish the rest of his sentence.

"It's okay," Al dodged his gaze, wandered around, and reached for the back of his neck again.

"Your Highness Stephen, can you accompany me for a walk in the garden now..."

Wei Lan thought about it and nodded.

"I will leave tomorrow morning..."

The two of them were walking in the garden, and Al spoke first.

"Yeah," Wei Lan responded, and then replied in his heart, it's okay, you will come often in the future anyway, I just hope you don't plot against me after you become rich.

"Stephen." Al called out very seriously and stopped.

Wei Lan hadn't reacted yet. He took two steps forward before stopping and looking back, not knowing what was going on.

But I saw that he had a sword on his waist at some point. At this moment, he drew out the sword from his waist, held the hilt with both hands, inserted the sword into the mud in front of him, and finally knelt on one knee.

This is the highest etiquette of the Iris Kingdom. Holding the hilt with both hands represents solemnity, and sticking it in the soil represents loyalty and never betrayal, or else death. The last kneeling is the same as the knight's kneeling, but it is different because of the sword standing upright in front of him.

It has a very strange name, called Balsh Love, which means to seek the loved one.

He raised his eyes, and the appearance of Wei Lan was reflected in his emerald green eyes.

"Your Highness Princess William Stephen, I swear on the royal honor and my life that what I am about to say is absolutely true-"

When he looked at Wei Lan, his eyes were full of passion and sincerity, as dazzling and bright as the sun, showing that he was telling the truth.

Wait, what is this?!

Wei Lan could no longer simply use the word "shock" to describe what he saw, and he was completely confused.

He said, "I love you, Stephen, and I want to marry you."

Even the word "you" is used, which expresses respect, loyalty, sincerity and love.

No...Wei Lan raised his hand in panic and uttered this word.

At this moment, there was a sharp sound of something piercing the air all around them, and before the two could react, a silver sword stabbed at them from the side.

It hit Al's sword stuck in the ground accurately, and his arrow actually tilted and fell down due to the force.

But the silver sword that flew over stuck in front of the hilt of his falling sword.

It was inserted obliquely into the ground, without moving an inch.

This sword is called 'Declare War/Contest.'
