Chapter 74 Engagement Banquet

After saying this, Brian looked at me with those emerald-like green eyes. I looked at him for a while, and finally moved my eyes away first, and said calmly: "You still have time to come this time." Anything else?"

Brian stood up straight and shook the medicine bottle: "I plan to research a new potion, didn't I already tell you?"

"It's a secret for the time being, but I will need you to help me at that time, so let me know first." He paused, and then said, "But who knows that I will see you crying as soon as I come here?"

My face froze after I finally calmed down, and I gritted my teeth and said, "No, that's just your imagination."

"Really?" Brian curled his lips.

"Really." I emphasized my tone and urged him, "Since the goal has been achieved and it's getting late, let's go back as soon as possible for safety."

Brian laughed out loud when he heard this, he looked down at the bottle in his hand, then raised his face to look at me: "Then, Your Excellency Ansair, could you please give me a ride? It's getting late after all."

"I always feel a little uneasy if I haven't completed Aunt Meili's task."

I took back what I wanted to refuse after hearing this sentence. After deliberating for a while, I finally nodded: "Okay, I'll take you back."

I lowered my head and straightened my sleeves, then raised my head to tell Brian to step aside so I could get someone to prepare the car.

"...Really." Brian murmured, and I looked at him strangely.

Meeting my eyes, Brian blinked and put away the teasing in his eyes before. At this time, his face was filled with an unknown emotion, like looking at a fragile and beautiful flower, with eyes revealing Show some pity.

"No need to send it off, Ans." His throat rolled, and he said softly, "A hug is enough."

I stared blankly at him, watching him stretch out his hand and touch my cheek, and after staying on my face for a moment, he put his hand around my shoulder along my neck and hugged me gently.

"Ans, Ansair, what can I do with you, really..." He murmured, the hand holding my shoulder tightened, but let go of it in an instant, and only hugged me quietly. Me, smelling the faint fragrance of his body, I can feel my heartbeat gradually accelerating.

"..." I opened my mouth, wanting to say something.But in the next second, Brian put down his hands and took a step back to end the hug first.

"Okay." Brian's expression returned to calm, he smiled, the golden glasses chain shook slightly, and his whole body seemed to be covered with another layer of shell, "Don't send me off, take a good rest."

"...um." I didn't say anything in the end, just watched him go downstairs.

After hearing the housekeeper's farewell sound, I came back to my senses, looked at the empty door, felt the feeling of loss, lowered my eyes and sighed deeply, walked into the room again and closed the door .

The portrait that my brother gave me was in the drawer of my desk. I took it out and unfolded it. Looking at the familiar face on it, I seemed to see a future betrayer.

I put my head against the portrait feebly, but what came to the tip of my nose was a familiar scent. The rich and unique scent always made me feel familiar, but I couldn't recall when I smelled a similar scent.I tried my best to sniff the painting, but still found nothing. Instead, I opened the window to ventilate because I couldn't get used to the smell.

"You'd better stay inside." I rolled up the painting and put it back in the drawer, and said strangely, "I don't know what kind of paint my brother used. The painting looks quite similar, but the smell is so bad."

I went into the palace early the next morning to visit Auston, but I was stopped as before. This time it was a bit more coincidental. After the soldiers finished saying that they would not let me in, the crown prince who gave the order came out.

"Good day, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince." I saluted him and asked, "How is the Second Prince?"

"Did you enter the palace just to ask this?" The crown prince stared at me with a half-smile and said, "Not for anything else?"

Am I still here to see you?Thinking so in my heart, I lowered my eyes and said nothing.

"Auston is fine," the crown prince said flatly before waiting for my response. He waved away the soldiers on both sides and continued, "Ansair, do you like Auston?"

My heart skipped a beat and I looked up at him, but the crown prince seemed to have gotten some information from my silence, and moved closer to me, staring at me with an unknown light in his eyes, "Os Dun likes you very much, during the dragon blood period of a week, he withdrew his wings in one day."

"Ansair..." He hooked his lips and said something unclear, "Even if it's Auston, I will only give up this time."

I don't understand what the crown prince means, but I feel like I'm being watched by something dangerous, my heartbeat starts to speed up, and finally I look away in embarrassment, avoiding the gaze of the crown prince.

Hudson, the secretary next to the Crown Prince, ran over at this time, glanced at me in surprise when he saw that I was also present, and said after saluting: "Your Highness, Your Majesty asked you to go over to discuss matters."

I turned around and wanted to leave, but Hudson said again: "Your Excellency, you are going too."

The crown prince stopped me: "Let's go, Ansair, it should be about the engagement banquet."

I responded, remembering that there was still this matter, and went to the Yizheng Hall with the crown prince.

The crown prince walked ahead calmly without looking back. Hudson, who was also following behind him, would glance at me from time to time. Whenever I looked over, he looked away again, making me wonder if I should Talk to him.

In silence, we arrived at the Palace of Political Affairs. Many noble ministers were already standing in the hall. The crown prince went straight to his seat. I turned around and walked to the side of Duke Yinyue. After nodding with him, I returned my attention to on the emperor.

The emperor sat high on the throne, and Princess Marlene stood beside her. She raised her head haughtily, with a smug smile on her face. To capture her expression, for some reason, an ominous feeling emerged in my heart. premonition.

"My lords, the third prince's engagement banquet will be held as usual, and the date is set for tomorrow." The emperor said slowly, but it was like throwing down a thunderbolt, and the hall began to be noisy.

I looked at the emperor in astonishment, and didn't understand why he still maintained this decision. If he really thought about it, he should immediately withdraw this decision. Give it to other princes?

A royalist noble came forward and asked the emperor to take back his order. The emperor refused his request and called me instead: "Campbell, isn't Cyril not engaged either? Let him come too."

In an instant, all eyes were directed at me. As a nobleman of the right age without a marriage contract, my brother can indeed participate, but his identity is the former fiancée of the Crown Prince. Why did His Majesty single out my brother?

My heart sank, and I said, "Your Majesty, Cyril..."

The crown prince made a sound at this time, and he calmly said: "Your Majesty, the engagement banquet is announced, why isn't the third prince present?"

Everyone searched the hall with their eyes, only to find that the third prince was indeed not in the hall.

Princess Marlene said softly: "I will notify him later."

The Crown Prince snorted, ignored Princess Marlene's words, and said relaxedly: "Your Majesty, I am not against this matter, but if the Third Prince resists this and disappears at the engagement banquet, wouldn't that be too... ..."

That's the end of his words, but everyone knew what he meant and echoed them one after another. For a while, most people in the hall said they wanted to invite the Third Prince to come over for further discussion.

I followed suit, but I wondered why the emperor didn't call the third prince over, since the discussion was clearly about the third prince.Could it be that the incident caused by the third prince made the emperor feel ashamed, so he wanted to settle this matter directly?

Amidst the voices saying that the Third Prince was to be invited over, a different voice suddenly appeared.

"Your Majesty! I request you to be engaged for my son's son and Miss Cook's family!" Dylan Field's voice was loud, and the content was so different. The emperor seemed to have found a breakthrough, and immediately took his words and asked: " Is that Elvis?"

I lowered my eyes, as if my ears had been pricked.

"Exactly, to be engaged to Miss Eliza of the Cook family." Dylan smiled, and what he said was false, "I have already agreed with the Duke of Cook, and here I specifically request the honor of His Majesty personally bestowing the marriage."

The emperor let out a oh, and looked at Duke Cook: "Is that so?"

Duke Cook hesitated, but finally nodded and accepted the engagement.

"Okay, then I'll satisfy you," the emperor smiled. "It's a happy event to give your children a marriage and show up before tomorrow's engagement."

After he hurriedly finished speaking, he waved away the crowd, obviously because he didn't want to call the third prince over.

Elvis put aside first, Miss Elisa and His Royal Highness the Third Prince like each other, Dylan proposed to let Elvis and Miss Elisa get engaged at this time, is it also to make the Third Prince give up, so that he can obey the emperor to participate in this engagement Is it a wedding banquet?

Will such arbitrariness really make the third prince obey him in the end?Princess Marlene's appearance was also very strange. This matter had nothing to do with her, but she acted like she was from the third prince's side.

I thought about these things and walked alone on the way out of the palace.

"Ansair," the Crown Prince's voice sounded from behind, "Are you going to inform that green haired one?"

I stopped in my tracks and said calmly, "Your Highness was joking, there is no need for me to inform you."

"Oh?" The crown prince touched his chin with his index finger, and said with a half-smile, "You used to come back for him, but now you're in trouble?"

It was indeed a collapse, but it had nothing to do with the Crown Prince.

I didn't want to answer his question, so I turned around and wanted to leave.

"Ansair, you can visit Auston tomorrow." The crown prince said so, and added in a low voice, "Go at night."
