She stood aside with her hands folded, no fluctuations in her expression could be seen, but her eyes kept looking in Will's direction, moving in small steps while looking.
Will smiled and waved at her.
"Your Highness Treya seems to be more impatient."
As soon as Treya realized that Will was looking at her, as if to cover up something, she immediately avoided looking elsewhere, pretending that nothing happened.
Too.
In this complicated situation, it was not a good time for them to look at each other.
Will moved his eyes a little and saw Eugenie with her arms folded. She was watching on the sidelines, with some jealousy towards Thereya, anticipating Will's next angry move.
After all, Eugenie is not a mature adult. Although there are so many arrangements behind the scenes, most of her emotions are written on her face.
Anna also noticed Treya's unusual movements.
"It's rare for Thereya to be very interested in someone."
"Oh, maybe it proves that the two children are quite destined?"
but……
Carver looked at Will's actions, as if he had already guessed something, and smiled knowingly.
"You two have to attend such a formal occasion, so come with me."
Anna waved to the two people and motioned for them to follow.
"First...sir, we were at the training ground earlier, was that you?"
Traya held up her somewhat long skirt and followed Will, asking him cautiously as if she was afraid of making a mistake.
"Huh? From what I mean, is it possible that you...didn't recognize me?"
"I'm somewhat face-blind. I may not be able to remember the person I met for the first time. I'm sorry if it bothers me."
"Yes, it's me." Will nodded, "If you're face-blind, why did you come up and ask?"
Treya pointed to her eyes.
"Glasses. I remember the same glasses."
"...That's it."
It seemed that the flaws Carver had inherited from him occasionally had some use.
They followed Anna up the stairs of the banquet hall. Anna is a queen who pays great attention to pomp and circumstance. Although she is not her own child, she seems to want the occasion to announce her engagement to be grander.
"So...sir, you are my fiancé, right?"
Treya, who was following Will, asked in disbelief.
But now this situation.
Judging from Anna's behavior and his behavior...
It's been determined.
In her eyes, this person who tried to drive a wedge between her and her sister from the very beginning, said so many bad things to her, and also lied to her by pretending to know a lot about swordsmanship...
Black guy.
Is it your fiancé?
For the first time in Treya's fourteen years of life, she experienced the collision between ideals and reality.
She... hates this guy.
He was the first person she hated.
Why, the fiancé she had been expecting for so long would be someone like this——
"In about five minutes, yes. But, in about ten minutes, no."
"Huh? What is this..."
Before Thereja could ask the question, Anna was already standing on the high platform. Although there was no equipment that could amplify the sound, Anna was a singer. With the help of the height difference and the amplification of the vast banquet hall, it was enough for her voice to overpower the whispers of the guests present.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Welcome to this banquet hosted by the royal family. I believe you have met many new friends here. We are also very pleased that leaders from all walks of life are willing to come here to attend the appointment. On behalf of the royal family, I would like to express my sincere greetings to everyone here. One cup.”
Will was observing Treya's expression.
certainly……
She has no expression.
But at this time, Treya chose to listen to her mother and not look at herself, which may have explained something...
For example, when she was in the training ground today, she hated herself, or something like that?
"So, today we also have an announcement to make to you."
"Considering the future development of the royal family and the need to pay more attention to the field of dungeon exploration, we decided..."
Anna paused here.
"The Entak royal family, Treya Entak, and the System family, Master Will System, have entered into a marriage contract to strengthen each other's power."
As soon as these words came out, there was silence first, and then they politely applauded.
The applause was sparse, and it could be heard that everyone didn't seem so happy.
Anna's face looked ugly, but Carver, who was watching the show with his hands behind his back, kept his usual social smile.
Unsurprisingly, the System family and the royal family were both very powerful, and they had been in a cold war before. If System had not done this, he might have been able to balance the power of Entak, who was too politically strong.
But in this case, it will only form a monopoly and become stronger.
However, there will definitely be conflicts between the two families in the future.
As for who can swallow whom in the end, it naturally depends on the level of both parties.
"Okay. That's it for the external announcement, internally... do you two get to know each other?"
Oh yes.
——Here are two tool men involved in the conflict between the two biggest forces, looking at each other on the stage!
"Trea, Treya Untak."
Treya turned around. From the stiffness of her movements and the way her eyes kept wandering to other places instead of looking directly at Will, it was clear that she was quite reluctant.
"Then let me introduce you formally."
Will extended his right hand, and unlike Thereya who was slightly repulsive, he showed friendliness.
"Will System, nice to meet you today."
Will smiled the brightest and gentlest smile he had seen in the past fourteen years.
Thereya was surprised.
However, she remembered that although this fiancé came with bad intentions, made fun of her sister and father, and casually taught her swordsmanship from an outsider's perspective.
But he...
It seems that he is always greeted with a smile.
wack.
Such a "black" villain, a liar full of lies, and a thug in a suit, could actually smile so brightly at himself at this time.
Thereya remembered what sister Eugenie had said to her: when seeing her fiancé, she should at least smile.
Also, although I don't like him very much, this is part of the etiquette.
And since he has done all the etiquette.
Naturally, as a princess who pays more attention to etiquette, she has to...
Treya took a deep breath and held Will's hand tightly like a sword hilt, causing him to frown, then raised his head——
He tried his best to raise the corners of his mouth and forced a smile.
Will almost couldn't hold it back. This smile was too forced, as if his muscles were extraordinarily uncoordinated. No matter from which angle you looked at it, it looked like a smile but not a smile.
In a sense, the smile of this princess can be compared with the Mona Lisa's smile. She is obviously smiling, but she doesn't mean to smile no matter what angle she looks at it from.
He finally knew why Therea almost never smiled in public. She really couldn't!
Will looked specifically in the direction of Eugenie in the audience.
She couldn't hold it back, covering her mouth and laughing happier than anyone else.
OK, Will knew who had the bad idea.
Eugenie, don’t you want to stumble Therea’s first impression in her fiancé’s eyes?
only……
Will looked at the smile he was trying to force "for his fiancé".
Indeed, she always reveals unexpected seriousness in her clumsiness.
"If you do this, it will make me a little embarrassed to say the next words."
"Um?"
Will let go of his right hand, but did not take it back. Instead, he raised it, facing both Treya and the guests in the audience.
"Miss Treya, I am honored to have such an engagement with the royal family, but there is a question that I would like to know."
Chapter 67: The engagement is about to be broken off!
Will faced the people in the audience with his right hand and turned it around. He didn't expect the people below to see clearly, it was just a means of display.
"I'm afraid our engagement has been set for a month. During this month, I was attacked by a witch who had a grudge against the elves, and I was also bullied for no reason by unknown people on campus. Look, my hands The injuries are the proof. You can probably guess that such strange burn marks were left by the witch.”
"An attack? Or an attack by a witch?"
"It seems that the young master of the System family is on his way to study at Entak First Academy..."
"That's a half-elf. It's normal for a witch to come to your door. But what about bullying?"
"Entak First Academy, this matter will not have anything to do with the royal family again..."
"Isn't that how the royal family likes to prove their status..."
"Shh, don't forget where you are."
"Hey, it's fun again."
…
As expected by Will, the two incidents of him being attacked and bullied were not airtight, and spread gradually. Many of the wealthy businessmen and political figures present knew about it.
As for the person who spread this news, it is most likely Eugenie.
She wanted to embarrass both Treya's family and System's family, and at the same time, she wanted to irritate the "stupid and uncontrollable" young master of the System family.
It was to let everyone on the field know, and to let Brownton's young master release misleading information in advance to mislead Will.
Everything from the environment to the people was trying to be unfavorable to Treya.
The two people who were originally the focus of attention became a little more playful and did not take it too seriously. The atmosphere of the originally pleasant engagement ceremony became tense.
Therea, who was always cold and calm, had a rare look of panic in her eyes amid the discussions.
She, who had always been slow, also felt the tension coming from the outside.
She knew she had to say the right lines in the social situations she was least good at.
The air seemed to be filled with sharp and cold gray steel wires. Every movement and word she made had to avoid these sharp cuts in order to escape from this trap set by someone unknown.
The once bright world in my eyes has also turned into a deep gray by the reflection of these gray steel wires.
Treya had never encountered anything like this.
Is this "black" guy steering the atmosphere in this direction?
But why?
