Appropriate jokes are good for livening up the atmosphere, but if you don't do it too much, everyone in the room understands it.

After teasing poor Miss Corinna, Mrs. Blazer excused herself from the living room for the time being, although the curious Rosalind was still left to hold Corinne and not let go, but as the highest character present, her departure somewhat relieved Corinna's heart.

Having made up an excuse for Rosalind to study on her own, she turned her head and looked at Lynn with disgust.

"Why didn't you tell me that Madame is such a person. What about lively people. ”

Lynn helplessly spread her hands: "Mother is not usually like this, and now, as the only adult in the family, she has always maintained a calm and steady attitude towards us." ”

"But it's a special day, and if she still maintains that posture, it will put a little pressure on you, and the atmosphere won't be very harmonious - she probably doesn't want that to happen."

Corina was stunned for a moment, and suddenly sighed: "Sure enough, it is a family, and you are in the same vein in wisdom." ”

For this compliment, if it were a normal time, Lynn might still be habitually polite, but since it was involved with his mother, he accepted it with a smile.

Shaking her head, Corina adjusted her sitting position, which was a little uncomfortable because she was too nervous, thought about it, and suddenly showed a strange smile.

"Madame Fang Cai and Miss Rosa are discussing who the first person to arrive is, right, then, shall we guess who the second one is?"

"Huh?" Lynn was slightly stunned and smiled, "You're going to bet with me again?" How do I remember that you didn't seem to win a bet with me? ”

Corina said with some anger: "Before, the previous things have passed, and besides, I haven't won before, so I can't win now?" ”

"Gamblers, after losing, often pin their hopes on the next good fortune."

“.”

Taking a deep breath, Corina squinted at him, "I'm telling you, this time is different. ”

"In the past, we bet because your control of me is too good, but today's bet, it's useless for you to understand me, because I've arrived, and the next person can't be me."

"Now, it's about what you know about the two of them."

When she said this, she already laughed, as if she had held the banner of victory in her hand, and she was extremely cunning.

"Tsk." Lynn squinted slightly, "Laughing like this, what you probably care about is not whether you guess right or not, but that no matter who I guess, you can go and talk to the other one." ”

"That's it, what's wrong!" Corina admitted this very frankly, and said defiantly, "Just say you guess it or not!" ”

At the end, she added a threat: "It's okay not to guess, and then I'll have to tell them that you don't know them at all—you know, it's very sad for a woman to care about a man who doesn't want to know herself." ”

“.”

Lynn sighed, "Hearing you say that, this seems to be an unsolvable dead end." ”

"Guessing one is not good, guessing two is too low, if you don't guess, it's another problem."

"Yo ho." Corina looked shocked, "There's really a problem that can stump you, then I'll have a drink to celebrate." ”

"You don't have to open the bottle before the game is over." Smiling, Lynn said, "I guess the next person to come is our Duchess." ”

"Huh?"

This answer surprised Corina a little.

She asked curiously, "Why do you think it's her?" Didn't Mrs. just say that such a confident woman will definitely want to be the last finale and overwhelm all the players in front of her, right? ”

"Has anyone ever told you that the finale actually refers to the penultimate one."

That's not important! Importantly, why would you guess it's her? ”

"It's simple." Lynn squinted and smiled, "Because I didn't handle official business today." ”

"Uh-huh?"

A string of question marks popped up in Corina's head: "What do you mean?" ”

Faced with this question, a little love flashed in Lynn's eyes: "It's people who have just come into contact with stupid people, and they will really become stupid people." ”

Rosalind on the side suddenly looked up: "Who said I was stupid!" I'm going to be! ”

Corinna: "."

With a smile, she reached out and pressed Rosalind down again, who stood up, and Lynn explained: "Although today is a holiday for everyone in the Rhine, people's holidays do not mean that this country will also have holidays, and machines that do not stop running always need someone to take care of them." ”

"But today, not to mention the ministers, even I am not here, so isn't it only our Majesty who personally went into battle and fought alone."

"Fortunately, today's affairs are not too much, but according to His Majesty's meticulous and focused personality, most of them will have to be busy for a long time, as for how long. I just wish we could see her before dinner. ”

"I see?"

Corina thought about it and felt that what Lynn said did make sense, and then after thinking about it, she felt a little distressed.

It's not that I feel sorry for Charlotte, but I feel sorry for Lynn.

As the king, Charlotte usually does not need to take over various affairs in person, only needs to make choices in the general direction, or to resist pressure, and the real course of action is set and implemented by the cabinet ministers.

And Lynn, as the prime minister, is naturally the one who is most likely to be anxious.

At the end of the year, today is the only time to rest.

Sighing, she reached out to hold the man's hand: "Hard work." ”

Lynn smiled and shook her head.

Corina sighed again, "It's been a long time since the war, and looking at the recent situation in the Rhine, it has stabilized. Once you're stable, you should be able to have more free time. ”

"Is it stable?" Lynn smiled faintly, "No, it should be said that our kingdom is thriving. ”

"However, it is precisely because of the prosperity that we need to be more busy."

"There can be no one on a ship moored in the harbor, but everyone on a ship on the voyage, from the captain to the sailor, must be vigilant at all times – no one wants the ship to be threatened by the storm toppling and annihilating."

“.”

Corina shook her head helplessly.

Although she has tried many times, just like a bet, her persuasion will never succeed, but will be convinced by the other party's theory.

"Leave you alone," she said softly, "don't hurt yourself from exertion." ”

"Hmm."

Lynn nodded slightly.

But just as he was about to say something more, the door of the house was pushed open again.

The two of them realized something in their hearts at the same time, and looked back together.

The man at the door was not the attendant who had come to report the arrival of a guest—he was sweating profusely after the Duchess.

"Good evening, everybody."

Erin stood in the doorway with her arms in her arms, greeting the gentlemen and ladies very familiarly.

Today, she was dressed unexpectedly plainly, wearing only a conservative gray-white dress, and at a glance, there was no luxurious jewelry, and she didn't even wear a family crest on her body.

In the midst of everyone's greetings and eyes, she walked slowly to the edge of the sofa, and instead of paying attention to Lynn or Thorn Corina, she greeted Rosalind who was sitting next to Lynn.

"Hey, Rosa, how are you doing?"

She leaned over, pinched Rosalind's face with a smile, and said with some surprise, "Ah, have you gained weight?" ”

Rosalind's face shook, and she hurriedly held her face, her eyes widened in horror: "Really? How could it be! I'm already eating only five pieces of candy a day! ”

"yes, it's a little less than the previous ten, maybe it's my delusion." Erin smiled and said, "Well, why don't you stand up and let me give me a hug, so I can see if I'm fat." ”

Rosalind immediately stood up obediently, and let the woman who was much taller than her hug her waist.

"Well, no! No fat!! ”

"No, it should be my delusion, sorry." Erin said apologetically.

Rosalind waved her hand repeatedly, breathed a sigh of relief, and wanted to sit down again.

But at this time, Irene, who had just hugged her from behind, pulled her to the two-seater sofa on the other side, pressed her down, and then sat down in Rosalind's position.

The whole process was smooth and natural, and Rosalind, who didn't notice anything wrong at all, was still slamming her chest that was not a little different from the other party.

"It's okay, it's okay it's an illusion."

At this moment, Lynn and Corina are deeply worried about the future of their sister/sister-in-law.

Erin didn't feel anything, only turned her head and looked at the two holding hands with a smile: "It seems that the two of you have been recently, and it's not bad." ”

If she hadn't stared directly at their hands, Lynn might have felt like she was caring about herself rather than thinking about chopping her own hands.

After pondering for a moment, Lynn covered her hand with her other free hand without leaving a trace, and said quietly, "It's okay, what about you." ”

"I, I'm not doing well." Erin suddenly sighed, "At the palace dinner a few days ago, I was able to openly confront someone, but there was nothing I could do with that person, and I was so angry that I didn't sleep well for three days." ”

“.” Lynn was silent, completely unsure of what to say.

From that day to today, there have not been three days!

Compared with Lynn's speechlessness, Kelina had something to say, and even said excitedly: "Is it true that you haven't slept for three days?" ”

Her schadenfreude was almost overflowing.

Unexpectedly, Erin not only did not refute as usual, but also admitted: "It's not three days, it's just that I haven't slept well in the past few nights." ”

"After all, this person who confronted me, in order to compensate me, harassed me and tortured me all night long."

As she spoke, Erin looked at Corina, whose face was gradually turning red, and said meaningfully.

"In this case, whoever can sleep is annoyed. You say yes, Miss Corina. ”

"Hehehe."

Corina responded with a smile, but her hands were secretly straining, especially her nails.

“.”

Although this situation had been expected for a long time, at this moment, Lynn really had no way to solve this problem.

After all, people didn't quarrel, all the words were meant to be meaningful, yin and yang weird, if you inserted it, you would definitely be set on fire on the spot - although it's almost there now.

Just as Lynn was thinking about how to calm down the fighting, Rosalind, who was a little bored on the sidelines, yawned lazily, swallowed her saliva, and suddenly found that her mouth was a little dry, and she wanted to drink saliva.

At this time, she suddenly found that there was no tea in front of the two young ladies, so she brought two new cups and chattered: "Brother Lynn, why don't you pour tea for Sister Erin and Sister Corinna, have you forgotten the hospitality taught by your mother." ”

When she said this, she said it with a smile, and she smiled very proudly, as if her brother, who had finally found out that she had had an accident, finally showed her fox tail, and she reached out and was about to pull it.

Lynn also seemed to be really grabbed by her pigtails, her body was stiff, and her face was slightly numb.

Because he probably knew what was going to happen next.

"Huh? Hospitality? Erin narrowed her eyes, her eyes suddenly becoming a little dangerous, and then she hid the danger with a smile, "Well, indeed, it was a mistake to forget to serve Miss Corina tea, Lynn." ”

"Our guests can only sit in those low-level carriages now, and there are bumps along the way, and there will be some discomfort when you think about it, and when you get out of the car, you will definitely need a cup of tea to ease down."

"I'm sorry, it's a good road in Catalena, I didn't experience many bumps when I came." Corinna retorted mockingly, "Since I didn't feel it, and you can describe it in such detail, it must be your personal experience."

She suddenly showed a look of disbelief: "Ah, our Duke is so unpretentious in his life, and he actually took a carriage that will be bumpy in Catalena, you are so simple, it must be for the sake of our country's good development, so even if you are a nobleman, you still lead by example, everything is simple." ”

"Lynn." She said with a slight accusation, "It is really rude not to prepare tea for us, the 'simple' duke." ”

"Tut-tut." Irene's expression was still smiling, and the arc in her eyes gradually calmed down, "You"

"Ahem—"

Lynn finally spoke up.

Seeing that the war is gradually turning from the dark side to the bright side, if he doesn't make a move, the two will probably really fight.

"I" sighed, and he said helplessly, "Tea, it's not much anymore, I'll go a little more." ”

"No." Erin stretched out her hand and grabbed the man who was about to get up, and said with a smile, "The guest is here, how can you, as the master of the house, leave, I'll just go." ”

"You?"

Corina smiled coldly: "You better sit here honestly, after all, you are an outsider, how can you know where to put the tea."

"Oh? Hehe. Erin covered her lips and chuckled, "I'm sorry, I really know that." ”

"After all, I used to play here a lot when I was a kid." After a pause, she suddenly smiled even more happily, "By the way, Miss Corinna, do you want to hear about Lynn's embarrassment when she was a child, I have a lot of savings about this?"

"You"

"Crunch—"

The door was pushed open, and everyone stopped talking abruptly, and they all turned back.

"Night"

The Queen, who was wrapped in wind and snow, subconsciously shrank her head and said her former mantra.

"Sorry, sorry. I'm like, late? ”

"No, it's not too soon, it's not too late."

Lynn pulled her two hands full of nail marks back from the two young ladies, clapped her hands, and said.

"Alright, guys."

"It's time to eat."
