A sumptuous dinner was held in the castle of Hull, and Erlus invited many nobles and celebrities of the Barony of Hull to attend the banquet.

As the protagonist of the banquet, Deloris showed the demeanor of a great nobleman, was generous and sociable, and also gave an impromptu speech in front of everyone, which won a round of applause.

It's just that Evan is a little tasteless, and has been sitting in the corner drinking stuffy wine.

Father's words have always made him linger, on the one hand, he can see the sister he misses in his heart, on the other hand, the identities of the two have changed, and the original relationship can never go back, and it can't continue.

Eh, let's find a chance to talk to Alice...... Evan took a puff of wine and reached out to pick up the glass on the table.

With a snap, a jade hand pressed on Aven's hand. Evan sighed and let go of his grip on the glass.

"Don't drink, you've been sitting here alone and drinking since the beginning, and you're still drinking when you're done."

Evan raised his somewhat numb head, and now the entire banquet hall was indeed the only servants left to clean up, and the other guests had left, only Deloris was still there.

"I'm fine. The last time I got drunk, I won't have a chance to get drunk in the future." Evan staggered to his feet, and when Deloris saw this, she hurriedly summoned two servants to help Evan back to the room and help him finish washing.

Deloris sat on the edge of the bed and quietly looked at Evan lying on the bed. At this moment, where does he still have the confidence, courage, and even a faint pride when he was in the city of London, more like a poor man who has been depressed and frustrated for most of his life.

Delores, who originally wanted to blame a few words, is now only full of distress, and this situation should not happen to him.

"Delores, I'm making you laugh. I'm fine. I'm just saying goodbye to my old self. From now on, I will take my due responsibility, not only for myself, but also for you. After all, I'm Avan of Racis." Evan closed his eyes and slurred explanation.

"I ......" Deloris wanted to say something, but seeing that Evan was already asleep, she could only give up persuasion and get up and blow the candles in the room.

Knock knock, the door opened, and Ayrus looked at Deloris standing outside the door, very surprised, but still invited her into the room.

"Uncle Elruth, I'm sorry to disturb your rest so late. I have a few questions for you......

The next day, when Deloris rubbed her tired eyes and walked out of the room, she immediately saw that in the hallway, Evan was already waiting there, as before, elegant and calm, as if what happened last night was a dream and never existed.

"Morning, Delores. Did you sleep well yesterday?" An impeccable smile rolled into Aven's face.

"It's okay. What time is it now?" Deloris muttered.

Evan looked up at the window, and the sun in the sky was almost overhead, "It's noon. It seems that you are tired from the long journey, and you are hungry after sleeping for so long, and I have asked the servants to prepare some bread and porridge, do you want to eat now?"

Deloris shook her head, "Forget it, just wait for lunch, I'm not hungry right now anyway."

Ai Wen was about to persuade him a few words when he heard a cooing sound. There was silence in the hallway, and Evan and Deloris looked at each other.

After a while, Ai Wen couldn't help it, and bent down to hold his stomach and laughed. Delores's already embarrassed and flushed face added a touch of blush. Angry, she could only scream.

"Don't laugh!"

In the end, under the persuasion and half-push of Aven, Deloris still obediently came to the restaurant and enjoyed her breakfast.

Aivan, who had already eaten breakfast, deliberately asked the kitchen to make an extra bowl of wheat porridge for fear of Deloris being embarrassed, drank the wheat porridge slowly, and ate it with her. When Deloris swallowed the last bite of bread, Evan put down the bowl as well.

"Young Master, Miss Alice has come to visit you. I asked her to wait in the living room." Morse, the old butler, came to the dining room.

Alice...... Hearing this name, Deloris chuckled in her heart and looked cautiously at Evan opposite. The latter still has a flawless smile on his face, and his temperament has not been affected in the slightest, and he still feels familiar.

"Okay, I know, thank you Grandpa Morse, in the future, you can just let the other servants do this kind of thing." Evan turned to look at Delores and said casually, "Delores and I are going to have a look."

"Ah, am I suitable?" Deloris didn't expect Evan to ask such a question, and was a little reluctant at the moment.

"Little one, Alice is my cousin, and she is not a stranger, so what's wrong." As he spoke, Evan took Delores' little hand and led her out of the restaurant.

Morse, the old butler, stood in the corner with his head bowed all the time, and when Evan and Deloris walked out of the dining room, he sighed silently and shook his head.

In the living room, Alice sat alone and silently at the table, and in the wooden box on the table, there was a white shawl. Alice was pleasantly surprised to see Evan come in, but when she saw that there were other people, she was visibly stunned.

"Long time no see, Alice. I've been in London lately, and I haven't been home, so I didn't expect you to come first." Evan said apologetically.

"It's alright, Brother Aven." Alice lowered her head and whispered.

"Delores, this is Alice, my cousin. We've had a good relationship since we were young."

"Alice, this is the daughter of the Count of Morlor, Delores, and my fiancée."

Listening to the words of her fiancée, Alice suddenly looked up at Delores. At this time, Delores noticed that Alice's eyes were bloodshot, and the area around her eye sockets was red and swollen, and there were deep dark circles under her eyes.

Inexplicably, she felt a little guilty in her heart, and she seemed to have wild vegetables in her mouth, which was both bitter and astringent.

"Kyo...... Enjoy...... Congratulations, Brother Aven." Alice smiled reluctantly.

"Thank you, Alice. Thinking about how fast time flies, in the blink of an eye we are both fifteen years old. Alice has grown up, too." Evan said with some nostalgia, as if recalling the scene when he was a child.

"Ai...... Brother Aven, I knitted a shawl myself...... Only...... Think of it as you...... The wedding gift is ready." Alice stiffened and pushed the wooden box in front of Aven.

The front of the cloak is embroidered with the banner of the Barony of Hull, and on the back is embroidered a tree, on which one man hangs from the tree, knocking the fruit of the tree to the ground, and the other person under the tree is clapping his hands, which looks like a replica of a scene.

"Alice's craftsmanship is truly eye-opening. I love your gift." Evan tried, and the shawl was not too big or too small.

"Alice, are your fingers hurt, why are they all bandaged with cloth?" Deloris was sharp-eyed and immediately asked.

"No, no. I'll be fine, Miss Delores." Alice retracted her hand in a bit of panic.

"In the future, my brother is going to Laquis, and he may come back once in a long time. Alice will have to rely on herself." Evan reached out and touched Alice's head, whispering a warning.

"By the way, Brother Aven. Speaking of which, I'm also engaged." Alice didn't dare to look directly at Evan and Delores.

Evan stroked the hand of the shawl, paused, and after a while chuckled, said, "That's a good thing. This means that Alice is also grown up and can get married."

"Alice, I don't know who you're marrying?" Deloris glanced at Aven, knowing that if she hadn't asked, Aven wouldn't have asked the question, thinking back to her conversation with Ayrus last night, she felt compelled to ask something.

"My father chose for me the son of Baron Parles. He was very nice to me and liked me very much." Alice whispered.

"Baron Parles' son?" Delores' eyes widened in disbelief. She looked at Evan beside her, others didn't know, but she knew very well that there was a deep contradiction between Aven and this Baron of Parles.

Alice marrying the son of her enemy? What a ridiculous irony of this. What's more, the son of Baron Parles, the man who has constant scandals and spends all his time, this is very clear to the people in the entire territory, and in private, many people give him the title of master of seduction.

Many young and beautiful girls were deceived by him, ruined, and then abandoned.

In an instant, Delores made up her mind that whether it was for Alice or Aven, she would never let this ridiculous marriage go on, but once the nobles were engaged, it was difficult to change it, and it involved interests and face.

"When is the wedding going to happen?" Deloris asked carefully.

"Next fall. But if I say it, it can be in advance." Alice thought that Deloris hoped that she could get married early and not appear by Evan's side, so she hurriedly added an explanation.

"No, Alice don't act yet. This makes me think about it." Delores's words made Alice a little stunned, and even Evan beside her glanced at her in surprise, with a complicated look in his eyes.

"Alice, next spring, I hope you'll come to Laques. I'll be waiting for you there, and I'll give you a gift in return for today." Delores smiled in relief.

"Okay, okay. Miss Delores." Faced with Delores' invitation, Alice was somewhat flattered.

After a few more conversations, Evan and Delores escorted Alice out of Hull Castle and escorted her back to her lodgings.

"Aven, after we finish our business here as soon as possible, let's hurry back to London, we must hurry." Deloris turned around and said solemnly.

"Delores, you ......"

"Knight, listen to me." After Deloris finished in no uncertain terms, she walked into the castle without giving Evan any room to ask questions.

"Yes, my Highness the Princess......
