Now I see the shadow of the young Miagaya in Lanqi, which is one of the reasons why Enol likes Lanqi so much.
Of course, Migaiya is very kind, not as naive as Lanqi.
"But I am also sure that you are different in one way. You will not be like Duke Migaiya who secretly hides a great demon and even marries a demon wife, shocking His Majesty the King. Hahaha, do you know the expression on my father's face at that time?"
Ainol smiled happily again and told Lanqi about the past events in the palace.
Lan Qi: "..."
"By the way, Your Highness Ainol, have you kept your companions waiting for too long?"
Lanqi seemed to suddenly remember something and asked as if trying to change the subject.
At the same time, he glanced at the purple-haired Countess Sophia who was sitting on the sofa in the distance.
She was still looking over here secretly.
"!"
Prince Ainol was shocked.
"Excuse me, let's go to the meeting area first. Sophia might be able to give you some practical advice on the card maker exam."
After Lanqi's reminder, Enol finally remembered that he had left Countess Sophia alone there for too long.
Immediately, Enol nodded apologetically in the direction of Sophia and led Lanci and Hyperion in that direction.
Lanci and Hyperion naturally did not reject Enol's kindness, as there was still plenty of time before the exam began.
As she walked, Hyperion couldn't help but glance at Sophia, then at Lanci.
Her eyes were full of confusion, trying to analyze something.
Hyperion was very grateful to Lanch for helping her attract fire, but she was also worried that Lanch had been planning something bad because of Sophia's unreasonable gaze!
……
The three-story atrium lobby features soaring ceilings and columns that create a stunning sense of spaciousness, interwoven with dark wood and textured stone.
The meeting area, located on one side of the atrium lobby, is furnished with a set of plush sofas and a low coffee table, made of high-quality materials and in colors that match the surrounding decorative style. Several floor lamps beside the table add a touch of quiet elegance.
Seeing that Prince Ainol finally realized and came back, Sophia stopped staring at them in front of Ainol. Instead, she turned around and sat quietly on the sofa with her arms folded in front of her.
As the three of them walked closer and closer in the aisle, Lanqi smiled calmly and asked Enol a question unexpectedly:
"Your Highness Ainor, have you ever noticed that there is a most gentle girl you ever wanted to meet, who is always quietly accompanying you?"
Suddenly, Sophia on the sofa moved noticeably.
She clenched her fists so tightly that she felt her ears starting to get hot.
She wanted to turn around and glare at Lanqi for asking such an ambiguous question, but she didn't dare to look back at Enol's face. Her heart seemed about to jump out as she waited for Enol's answer.
"No."
Prince Ainol replied in confusion.
The sound is clean and clear, without any hesitation.
This made Sophia so anxious that she sat on the sofa and stomped her feet in anger.
"..."
Lanqi seemed to have no idea what to say.
The three of them walked to the sofa and prepared to sit down.
Lanqi wanted to help again, and quietly reminded:
"Then Your Highness Ainor, I think that while you are concentrating on the creation and appreciation of art, you should also pay more attention to the people around you and don't let them wait too long."
Sophia, who had originally planned to give Lanci a death stare and warn him not to talk nonsense, gradually softened her expression.
She found that Lanqi seemed to be a really good person and tried his best to help her.
Unfortunately, that wooden man, Enol, is too slow.
Hyperion also sat down next to Sophia with peace of mind, because Enol and Lanqi naturally sat on the sofa opposite like brothers.
But what Sophia and Hyperion never expected was.
Prince Ainol suddenly showed an expression of sudden enlightenment.
He grasped Lanqi's shoulders tightly and said sincerely:
"I understand, Lanqi, you are the irreplaceable treasure of our Hutton Kingdom. You mean I should have taken the initiative to find you earlier!"
"..."
Lanqi was really speechless and could only helplessly smile at Sophia and Hyperion who were sitting opposite him.
In this smile, there are seven parts regret and three parts apology.
It seemed that he really wanted to help her, but he really couldn't help her, because Prince Enol really didn't pay any attention to her. On the other hand, even if Lanqi didn't do anything, Enol's eyes were all on him.
The atmosphere of the entire atrium seemed to change quietly in this instant.
Under the silence, there was a hint of silent chill.
This is a sign that gunpowder is about to smoke, making people feel depressed and nervous.
Hyperion's eyelids were already twitching.
Lanqi looks innocent and well-intentioned.
but.
This scene, coupled with Lanqi's words and actions, if you imagine Lanqi as a girl, a strong smell of green tea will come to you! !
For a moment, Hyperion was completely unable to figure out whether Lanqi really wanted to assist Sophia, or he was just perfectly disguising his green tea nature!
The extreme of innocence is like green tea, and the extreme of green tea will bring out flawless purity. Hyperion once again saw the duality in Lanci!
At this moment, Sophia was in this delicate situation, and her mentality was gradually swaying towards the edge of explosion.
From her victim’s perspective, she began to wonder if Lanci had planned this for a long time, pretending to be innocent to win Enol’s unreserved trust, but was actually playing a trick on her!
If this is true, this cunning bad man might take advantage of this trust and play with the sincere Enol!
"Lanqi, I am really looking forward to what kind of cards you can make today, and I hope to have the honor of admiring your paintings in the future."
After seeing Lanqi's appreciation ability, Enol became extremely curious about how high his level of painting would be.
"..."
Sophia sat opposite the sofa, with her head down and her hands clasped.
Listening to Enol's infatuated praise of Lanqi again, as if she was crazy about him, she became more and more agitated. Finally, she couldn't bear it anymore. She looked up at Lanqi and Enol and said in a low voice:
"Ainol, I am the best card maker and the most talented painter around you. You don't need to look up to this person so much!"
Sophia's breathing became a little anxious, and she was about to shout "Look at me more!"
"Sophia..."
Ainol seemed to be confused as well, and his gaze finally shifted from Lanqi to Sophia.
In fact, he was mainly envious of Lanqi's aura of pretending to be cool with every move in the Demon Academy, and wanted to learn from him the "way to pretend".
But for some reason Sophia's reaction was particularly emotional, as if a demon was pulling at her heartstrings, making her emotions so intense.
However, Enol looked at Lanqi, who also had an innocent and confused expression on his face.
finally.
Between a woman and his good brother, Enol once again firmly chose to stand on the side of his good brother.
"Sophia, look at how scared you are, Lanqi... What if it affects his card maker exam today? He is a man who will definitely become a pillar of our Hutton Kingdom."
As Enol spoke, he couldn't help but praise Lanqi.
He had no idea how Sophia felt at the moment, and that such words were adding fuel to her jealousy and favoring Lanci.
At this moment, Lanqi still had that gentle and helpless smile on his face.
This finally made Sophia's jealousy grow uncontrollably!
She looked at Enol and said unwillingly:
"I'm 17 years old and I'm already a silver-level card maker."
Among the students who have just been promoted to the second grade in the entire Magic Engineering Academy, there are only a handful of card makers who have reached the silver level!
"Why do you prefer to admire him who hasn't even obtained the status of a registered card maker, rather than pay more attention to me, even though I've tried so hard?"
Sophia's emotions, which had been pent up in her heart for a long time, finally burst out at this moment and she told the truth to Enol.
Ainol looked stunned.
"Sophia, is this what you think? I have always valued you..."
Enol had never seen Sophia express such straightforward emotions towards him. He was stunned and didn't know how to comfort her. He couldn't even organize his words.
When he exhaled white mist while speaking, he slowly felt the cold temperature.
"Your Highness, I must go now."
Lanqi secretly patted Enol on the back, and then signaled him with his eyes that it was time to sit next to Sophia and comfort her.
"Your Highness Enol, Miss Sophia, I have to hurry to the examination room on the fifth floor."
Lanqi looked at the time, then quickly stood up and said goodbye to the two of them.
"Oh, okay."
Ainol nodded, seeming to understand what Lanqi meant.
Soon, Hyperion also hurried away with Lanqi.
She secretly looked back and found that Enol had sat next to Sophia and started chatting with her. The atmosphere gradually improved. It seemed that such a drastic measure was necessary to promote the relationship between the awkward Sophia and the upright Enol.
"Lanqi, did you expect that this was the only way to make them reveal their true feelings?"
Hyperion couldn't help but ask curiously.
This is the end.
Lanqi finally lowered his head, breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled faintly.
