What to do if your crush is the Earl

The news that Earl Sade had come to Fancheng quickly spread throughout the upper echelons.

Many invitations were handed to Martin.

Because Martin retired early and did not participate in Fancheng's political affairs, he did not have much influence in Fancheng's military and political circles. On the contrary, more of his reputation came from his literary name.

Most of the greeting cards and invitation letters handed in were invitations to him to participate in the local cultural salon symposium.

"Sir, are you going?"

"Why not? Bremen doesn't know when he will be back, we have to find some fun." It was afternoon tea time, black tea was served with refreshments, and Martin picked up a small cake and fed it into his mouth.

Made by the refreshment chef exclusively for the royal family, it really tastes extraordinary, it melts in the mouth, the taste is delicate and rich, the sweetness and the slight bitterness sway layer by layer, which makes people have endless aftertaste.

Martin squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then opened his eyes to see Xiao Sheng looking at him eagerly.

"Want to eat?"

Xiao Sheng shook his head, his eyes glanced elsewhere.

Martin lowered his head and took two more mouthfuls, and his eyes followed him vaguely.

"It's like I abused you.—Am I that kind of person? Come here."

Xiao Sheng paused for a moment, and finally approached obediently.

Martin changed a spoon, took a piece from a place he had never eaten before, and fed it to Xiao Sheng's mouth: "Ah, open your mouth."

Xiao Sheng was stunned for a long time before he opened his mouth dumbly. The pastry was fed into his mouth, and the sweet taste slowly melted on the tip of his tongue.

"How about it?"

"...Delicious." Xiao Sheng said slowly, chewing the pastry in his mouth.

"Is it just delicious?"

"..." Xiao Sheng didn't know what to say, and looked at Martin with innocent black eyes.

"Your vocabulary is too lacking." Martin commented, then touched his chin and thought for a while, "——beautiful as nectar, waxy as agarose jasper. How about it?"

Xiao Sheng really thought about it carefully.

"Gems are not edible," he said.

"You..." Martin was completely taken aback.After a while, I realized that Xiao Sheng said "Jasper".Indeed, "Jasper" was hard and inedible, it was really inappropriate, he laughed out loud, his whole face was indescribably vivid and bright.

Just when Xiao Sheng was overwhelmed by the laughter and felt stiff, Martin stopped: "Come with me to the banquet tonight." He said.

The voice was soft and harmonious, and the soft light in the eyes focused on Xiao Sheng was moving.

Fancheng is actually not a very safe place for Xiao Sheng's identity. When he was looking for work with Bremen before, although he was doing secret work, there were still a few people who knew him well.

But looking at Martin like this, Xiao Sheng couldn't bear to refuse, so he said, "Okay, sir."

This banquet was specially prepared for Martin. Many publishers and newspaper editors from Fancheng, from the literary and art critic circles, and everyone who was famous in Fancheng came.

"Why does Mr. Wendy want to come to this party?" Outside the door of the hall, a gentleman in a gentleman's dress asked another person, "As far as I know, the art salon tonight is hosting Sade from the literary world. Sir, it doesn't seem to have much to do with your field?"

The brown-haired young man with light blue eyes smiled, and paused before opening the door: "Of course I came to see a friend."

"finally reached."

The tall city gate is in sight, and the red brick city wall is so familiar that it makes people want to cry.The people around His Royal Highness Bremen all showed a little excited expression. This visit to the Northland took almost two months, and they finally returned to their homeland, Fancheng with the Peter Cathedral and the tall sentinel tower.

Although the Northland is also part of the empire's territory, it cannot be denied that the imperial capital Fancheng is where they were born and raised, and they have the most nostalgia for this place.

Thinking about it this way, they felt a little sympathetic to those who were left by His Highness to take over the affairs of the Northland.I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for at least half a year.

In the carriage, there was a blue-haired young man with a beautiful face who had been sitting quietly beside Breman. His expression was calm, and his light gray-brown eyes were calmly looking at a fixed point, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Why, Awan is a little tired after traveling?" His Royal Highness asked.

Antoine shook his head and said nothing.

"But are you unhappy that I took you back to Fancheng by force?"

"How could it be?" Antoine finally raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "It's too late for my subordinates to be happy. With the opportunity to be so close to His Highness, you can be promoted again."

There is too much irony.

Briman frowned: "Your eyes tell me that you don't think so."

Antoine looked over and smiled: "Why is your Highness so serious? Why do you care about my thoughts?"

Breman felt that he was insinuating that he did not consider his friendship with Ethan, and his face turned dark: "You still think about Ethan, don't you?"

"..." There was silence in the carriage.

Antoine took a few deep breaths, his chest heaved, and he calmed down after a long time: "Your Highness once said, I know you very well?"

"Correct."

"But in contrast, His Highness doesn't know me well enough." Antoine said word by word, "I don't know what kind of rumors you heard in the Northland, but when we were working together in the border camp, Yi and I Mr. Sang is just an ordinary superior-subordinate relationship. I respect him because he is my good teacher and good friend. When I was down and suffering, Mr. Ethan helped me and gave me a job in the camp so that I could take care of myself. I am very grateful to the mother and younger brother of the Shang family, so I am willing to do things in return, and we get along very happily and hit it off every day, but we have never acted out of line, let alone admire each other. Such an explanation , is that enough? Your Highness?"

Bremen looked at him deeply.

"Enough," he said.

"Then let's talk about you now." Antoine said, "Why did you give Master Ethan a real transfer?"

Breman lost his momentum a bit: "I just think...that position is more suitable for future plans..."

"Ming Yingsi is obviously a more suitable place for him, Your Highness don't want to lie."

Bremen was rendered speechless by the refutation, but he was annoyed and tried to save face: "Hmph, you are really brave..."

"Your Highness asked me to say it." Antoine said innocently, "Your Highness gave me the courage."

These words made Breman feel better again.He found it very miraculous, few people's words and deeds could affect his mood like this.

"Your Highness." A voice came from outside the window, it was Rhodes, Breman's servant.

Briman returned to his calm and steady look, and replied, "What's the matter?"

"Welcome to your team."

"Father is engaging in such a big fight again?" Breman was a little helpless, but still responded, "I see."

Banquet.

Martin didn't expect to see Rael here again.

"Senior brother, long time no see." The young man still had that gentle and jade-like appearance, with gentle light blue eyes.

Martin once felt that those eyes were as soft and quiet as the lake, but now his heart is as calm as the lake.

It's like something that has been expected for too long. All the years of youth and hard work have been devoted to it.Because you find that what you want is no longer the original thing.

"Hi." Martin replied calmly.

Riel looked behind him, saw Xiao Sheng, and couldn't help saying: "So he's still by your side."

The meaning of these words makes people ponder, but before Martin can think carefully, Xiao Sheng has already picked up the words, with a gentle smile: "Mr. Wendy, it's been a long time since we last said goodbye."

Riel's eyes flickered, surprised at the other party's wisdom and quick-wittedness, so he continued to laugh. "Yes, it's been a long time."

There must be something between these two.Just as Martin was thinking like this, a waiter's announcement came from the door, and rows of waiters stood facing each other at the door, looking very grand.

All eyes turned to the door.

Someone must be coming.

Martin already had some guesses in his mind.

Sure enough, the door opened.

Someone gasped: "It's His Royal Highness!"

Two people, one in front and one behind, slowly walked in from the door.Noble and gorgeous dress, people have to pay attention.

"Who is that man next to him?"

"I don't know,——heh, she looks so pretty!!"

It was Breman and Antoine who came back to Fancheng.

Breman and the others walked straight towards Martin.

"We meet again." The four greeted each other one by one.

The organizer of the banquet is a local gentry of some status in Fancheng, who knows some words, and is on the side at the moment.

Bremen smiled at him: "I heard that there will be a welcome party for Odin tonight, so I will not invite you, will you disturb me?"

The organizer of the salon was flattered: "Of course not. Your Highness is here, and our little banquet will be full of splendor."

At this moment, Breman saw the young man in the white patterned shirt beside him, and asked doubtfully, "Who is this?"

It was the first time Riel saw the legendary next successor of the empire, His Royal Highness, and he made a standard bow with his hands on his chest: "Good day, Your Highness, next Riel Wendy, from the Marquis Wendy's family. eldest son."

"Oh, this is Mr. Riel?" Breman narrowed his eyes, "Is your father okay? The three sons of your family have never seen Marquis Wendy take you out?"

There were indeed three sons in the Marquis Wendy's family, but everyone knew that the former Marquis passed away after leaving behind a young master.Lord Marquis married another wife and gave birth to two young sons, so Riel did not live well at home.

This is completely poking at people's pain.

Bremen had never spoken to others in such a ruthless manner, which made Riel on the opposite side feel very embarrassed and didn't understand why, so he had to laugh twice in embarrassment.

It was Martin who came to relieve the siege: "Aman is back for the first time, and he is not in a hurry to socialize. Why don't we find a place to catch up."

Bremen looked at him in a blink of an eye, and said, "Okay."
