Finally back at the Duke's Mansion, my brother and I said good night to each other in front of his room, ready to go back and have a good rest.

"Ans." My brother stopped me suddenly, he hesitated, "I came back so suddenly this time, what's the matter?"

I hesitated, wondering if I should tell him about it.

"It's okay if you don't want to say it," he lowered his eyelashes, his voice weakened, "I can't help you much anyway, so forget it."

Seeing that he was about to fall into a mood of self-blame again, I quickly denied it and explained to him: "No, I just don't want my brother to be unhappy when he hears it."

I briefly explained to him what happened this time, concealing the fact that I had returned to the imperial capital, and only said that I was checked for any remnants of the magic circle and was forced to marry Auston.

My brother listened, his eyes widened, and he looked in disbelief: "You want to marry His Royal Highness the Second Prince? Then what about those two—"

"What?" I wondered, "Which two?"

The elder brother kept his mouth shut, and he frowned: "How can you be so hasty? What kind of person is the Second Prince? What if it is very bad?"

My heart softened, knowing that he was worried about me, I smiled at him: "It's okay, Auston people are very nice. Although they look cold and difficult to get along with, they are actually very sincere."

My brother grunted, and he muttered something else, all fragmentary words.

After he finished thinking, he raised his head again, looking very nervous: "His Royal Highness Archibald saved me before, and I am embarrassed to thank him with a thank you gift if you are not in the imperial capital. Since he is leaving tomorrow, I will ask Can I ask?"

"Of course, I will accompany you to thank him tomorrow." I sighed in my heart and said seriously, "Brother, you don't need to ask me for instructions, you can make up your own mind."

The elder brother forced a smile, his brows were suddenly covered by a layer of melancholy, and his green eyes were stained with a layer of haze: "But my identity is always..."

"Your identity is the eldest son of this generation of the Campbell family, brother, you don't need to listen to what other people say, and you don't need to listen to what your father said." I stepped forward to hug him and whispered, "If I'm here one day, I won't let Someone bullied you."

The farewell banquet on the second day was very grand, and there were ladies in gorgeous dresses everywhere in the hall, and the ladies as delicate and charming as flowers were even more beautifully dressed, and the fragrant wind wafted by.My brother stood beside me and explained to me in a low voice that what they were wearing was the latest fashion in the imperial capital, and the earrings were a newly discovered crystal, and they were all made to look like Princess Marlene's pair of earrings as much as possible.

Princess Marlene's earrings... I frowned and whispered, "Does everyone like that style very much?"

My brother shook his head: "It's because of the material. Princess Marlene's earrings are made of black crystal sent by His Highness Archibald, which is unique in the empire."

Speaking of this, he was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "Your Majesty asked him what he wanted in return, but he only wanted an eternal white rose."

I looked at my brother's disappointed expression and felt bad.

"Maybe the Eagle Empire really can't grow flowers," I said, "After all, it's so hot there, and the flowers don't like to bloom. Once they bloom, they will be burned to death. They have been saying it's so hot all their lives."

My brother was amused by me, he looked at me, lowered his head and took a sip of red wine: "Ans, it's impolite."

I said seriously: "I'm just telling the truth, brother, you wronged me."

"May I join the conversation between the two of you?"

An abrupt voice sounded behind my ears, and I saw my brother raised his head all of a sudden, with a little surprise on his face.

"His Royal Highness Archibald?" He said, I was no longer in his eyes, and he walked forward.

I turned around, and the crown prince gestured to me with a wine glass in his hand. His hair was tied high behind his head, his handsome face was full of joy, his purple almost black eyes were shining, he hooked He hooked his lips, and his eyes jumped to my side: "Syril, what were you talking about just now? It looks very pleasant, and I couldn't help but come over to disturb you."

The elder brother said, "It's just chatting."

Talking about your country being hot.I couldn't understand his behavior of hooking up with my brother in front of me, so I changed the subject: "Your Highness, you saved my brother before, and I haven't had a chance to thank you. I'm really sorry."

Archibald smiled: "It's nothing, I should have noticed before Cyril fell off the horse, let alone..."

He softly hummed a familiar melody, which was the dance music played at the first dance, and it was also the song that he and I hummed one after another in that snowy night.

My brother obviously didn't know this. He looked at Archibald and then at me with doubts written on his face.

I continued to talk to Archibald without changing my face, but my brother who didn't get an answer had to turn his head away.During the conversation, I brought up the thank you gift. Archibald was surprised and accepted it.

"Speaking of which, it seems that I haven't seen your friend?"

"You mean Brian?" I wondered.

"Exactly. When I invited you to dance on the first day, didn't you stand by his side? Later, when I went to the snowy land, I saw him visit you." He looked around and lowered his head, "Didn't it come out?" What's the matter?"

I don't know why Brian didn't show up, but I didn't like Archibald's words. I frowned and denied, "It should be because of my busy studies. I hope Your Highness doesn't mind."

"Really?" Archibald moved the goblet towards me, so I clinked glasses with him and took a sip of the wine.

After taking back the wine glass, he clinked glasses with his brother again, drank all the wine in the glass, and put it on the dining table.

"Speaking of which, can I invite you to dance?" He saluted gracefully, bent down and handed me his hand.

Facing the eyes of my brother and the people around me, I forced a smile, put the cup on the dining table as well, and agreed to his invitation.

"my pleasure."

I was being spun around, forward, backward.

In this dance, I have a panoramic view of the splendid hall of gold and jade. I can see Princess Marlene in a gorgeous dress. The shiny jewelry and complicated and beautiful ribbons can only decorate the hypocritical beauty; The cowardly and melancholy third prince and Miss Cook stood together, with a smile from the heart; the crown prince, who was elegant on the surface and vicious in heart, was talking with the noble lady with a smile; His friend pulled aside; Marquis Field smiled complacently, and drank one glass of wine after another; the emperor with a changed personality sat on the throne, his old age could not be concealed.

"Ansair."

The low voice knocked on me, I came back to my senses, and met Archibald's eyes.

He blinked: "A good advice: being too soft-hearted is not a good thing."
