Chapter 701: The Arrival of Odiseius
That night, the banquet held by Clovis was not large, although Clovis likes to be gorgeous and swaggering, but Yang Hui will become low-key for this kind of thing, and the people invited are all nobles who have a good relationship with him, and even painters from civilian backgrounds.
"A banquet should be a feast for like-minded people."
This was Clovis's exact words, so the banquet he held was more like a good friend of the commoner who got together to chat, rather than the standard banquet of the aristocracy.
It's just that...... His mother was disgusted with Clovis's preference, so she never attended Clovis's banquets, and she didn't like the "unenterprising" Clovis very much.
But after today, she changed, because Clovis offered to tell her that he was going to be governor of [TEN], which made his power-hungry mother almost jump in excitement.
"Well, I made a mistake." Yang Hui leaned against the wall and watched a group of people talk wantonly, and couldn't help but shake his head.
"What's wrong?" Clovis asked, as the host of the banquet, it is natural that all the guests should be entertained.
"I shouldn't have promised you."
"Huh, what? Regretting rejecting the royal brother Odiseius? Clovis teased, but it was just a joke, he knew very well that Yang Hui was not the kind of person who tended to be inflammatory.
"No, I should go back to sleep instead of listening to you guys bragging here." Yang Hui squinted at Clovis and said, these people invited by Clovis, the civilian painters boasted that Clovis's works were heirlooms, and most of the aristocratic friends he had made were playboys, and if he wanted to seduce girls, he naturally had to learn a little art or something.
"Haha, yes, that's a ...... It's boring. Clovis's smile was bitter, for he himself found such a banquet boring, but had to hold it.
"Now that you've decided, there's no need to pretend." Yang Hui patted Clovis on the shoulder.
"I'm not the royal brother of Oisenius, not the royal brother of Schunezel, not the royal sister of Cornelia, and not you, Yang Hui, the royal brother of Oiseius has an identity, the royal brother of Schunezel, the royal sister of Cornelia and you have the ability, and I ...... Hehe, there is only one mother who 'wants her son to become a dragon'. β
ββ¦β¦ Okay, if nothing else, you'll be setting off in two days, study hard. β
"Yes, I've been waiting for this day for a long time, but Yang Hui, Lelouch and Nanali ......"
"Don't worry, I've arranged everything, and it'll be fine."
"That's fine, I can go on the road with peace of mind." γ
"Smack~!"
Yang Hui's face turned black when he heard this, and he slapped Clovis on the back of the head angrily: "I can't speak, go back and learn again, what is on the road?" Rushing to reincarnate? β
"Uh...... Haha, slip of the tongue, slip of the tongue, but ......" Speaking of this, Clovis glanced at the other people attending the banquet, and saw that they were indifferent to what was happening here, still chatting happily about their topic, "How many people are yours?" Or rather...... Which one is not your person? β
"Yes, I've grown." Yang Hui couldn't help but glance at Clovis and found the problem in such a small detail.
ββ¦β¦ Thank you. β
"What do you do with this, brother?"
Yang Hui patted Clovis on the shoulder, Clovis's banquet, the people who participated in the banquet were all Yang Hui's people, and even the people who did not come to the banquet and befriended Clovis were also Yang Hui's people.
Of course, it's not to spy on Clovis, but to protect him, even if he does nothing, the identity of the prince will bring a lot of trouble, Clovis is a simple person, so Yang Hui will arrange so many people to be by Clovis's side in advance.
With one exception......
"So...... Elysia ...... "At the mention of the name, Clovis's expression became bitter, and his eyes were red with tears.
"Coincidentally, Elysia is the only exception."
Elysia, a civilian little girl, has no particularly beautiful appearance, even lost her legs, is just a disabled person, but she is extremely gentle and kind, accepts all the malice towards her around her, and at the same time gives back all the kindness of others, also likes to paint, has talent, and is full of love, every work contains her heart, a kind feedback to the world.
"What you said is true!?" Clovis grabbed Yang Hui's shoulders excitedly, his eyes full of longing.
"Really." Yang Hui nodded seriously, "She is not my person, it was a complete accident that you met her, after you came into contact, I sent someone to investigate her, she is a good girl, worthy of your love." β
"Great, Elysia, it's really good......" Clovis burst into tears, but Yang Hui didn't feel ashamed, but was happy for him, but soon, he turned sharply and was about to leave.
Yang Hui grabbed him and asked, "Are you going to find her?" β
"Well, I'm going to find her, I want to see her now!"
"Don't forget who you are, Clovis, and don't forget your mother."
Yang Hui's reminder made Clovis lose like a deflated ball: "Yes, my identity, my mother...... Yang Hui, I have never hated myself as a prince like now! β
"Bear with me, when you go to [Ten], I'll send her to see you."
"Really?"
"Fake!"
"Hahaha...... You are really my good brother, Yang Hui...... Thank you. β
"Don't say these sensational words, it's disgusting."
"Fuck off!"
"Well, that's normal."
"Hahaha......" said everything, the two brothers raised their glasses and touched it, especially Clovis, he was relieved and relaxed, he didn't blame Yang Hui for compiling a false world for him, because he knew that Yang Hui was for his good, and in the false world, there was still a truth, his love, his most precious emotion.
He also knew that his mother must have known about his love, and would never agree, how could the prince marry a disabled commoner? In order to cut off all of Clovis's fantasies, she did everything, Elysia was safe, and they could see each other from time to time, including Yang Hui.
Now, he is going to learn from Yang Hui to get out of his cage, the false world is broken, and what awaits him may be cruel and painful, but it is all a real and real world.
Since the guests were all fake, there was no need for the banquet to continue, and the fake guests said goodbye to Clovis one after another, and only Yang Hui and Clovis were left in the huge banquet hall.
"Okay, I'll go back to sleep too, I'll be busy in a few days." Yang Hui put down his wine glass and stretched, and was ready to leave.
"Wait, didn't you say that you won't get drunk and don't go home?" Clovis hurriedly grabbed Yang Hui.
"Don't get drunk and don't go home? Just how much you drink? Is it embarrassing to say that a cup is poured? β
"Ahem." Clovis choked up, thinking of memories that he didn't want to think of for the rest of his life, and retorted awkwardly, "As long as it's not liquor, I can still fight with you." β
That time, it was also agreed that he would not get drunk and not return, but Yang Hui did not talk about martial arts, and took out a bottle of liquor called [Moutai], which smelled very fragrant, but Clovis Too young, too simple, treated the liquor as wine, took a sip of a glass, and then ......
In the first second, I was choked.
In the fifth second, his face was ruddy, delirious, and he was talking nonsense.
In the eighth second, he fell to the ground, and the snoring sound shook the sky.
"Forget it, I don't want to be troubled by your mother, I was almost annoyed to death last time."
"Wait! Don't go ......."
"His Royal Highness Clovis, His Highness Yang Hui." Just as the two were arguing, Clovis's butler suddenly ran in, looking panicked.
"What's going on? Didn't I tell that no one should disturb us? Clovis looked displeased and questioned the butler.
"His Royal Highness Clovis, it's His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has come down." The butler reported.
"Brother Odisius?" Clovis frowned.
"Alone?" Yang Hui asked the housekeeper.
"Yes, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince alone." The housekeeper replied truthfully, he knew that Yang Hui and Clovis had a very strong relationship, so he would not hide it.
Yang Hui touched his chin, it's not too early now, Odiseius came alone, or uninvited, it was intriguing.
"Please come in, Brother Huang." Clovis decided.
βYesοΌyour highness.β
"Or ...... me"
"No, I'll come."
"Seriously?"
"This is what I should bear, and this is what I have to bear."
ββ¦β¦ Good. β
Soon, the butler led Oiseius to the banquet hall, and sure enough, he was alone, and even the accompanying guards were left outside.
"You're not going to welcome me, are you?" Otheius joked mildly.
"Of course, no, Brother Emperor, it's just ...... The guests have left, and only me and Yang Hui are left to greet you, which is rude. Clovis kept the smile and etiquette expected of royalty in the face of Odiseius.
"Haha, it's okay, it's not enough to have you here, to be honest, I prefer a party between brothers to a boring banquet."
"Really? That's rude, Brother Huang, please come here. β
Since it was a gathering between brothers, it was not suitable for an empty banquet hall, but a separate lounge.
"Yang Hui, welcome back, congratulations on your meritorious service, my father has a high opinion of you."
"Thank you, my merits are nothing compared to that of Imperial Sister Conelia." Yang Hui said modestly.
"Haha, it seems that your guard is still so heavy."
"......" Yang Hui shrugged his shoulders, looking indifferent, but he was thinking about Odyssius's intentions in his heart, and directly said this kind of thing, what is it for? Lower his guard? Want to cooperate? Still is......
"By the way, Clovis, the governor of [Ten], Cornelia doesn't want to be in the role, she wants to continue to lead the army in the war for the Empire, so ...... I recommended you at a cabinet meeting. Otheius said slowly.
Hearing this, Yang Hui was shocked, and Clovis stood up even more in shock.
