before he was crowned king

Sean still had classes in the afternoon. After a while, he got into the carriage again and followed Professor Nick back to the academy.

Along the way, Professor Nick only vaguely said that it would take time to compare the research, and did not immediately give Sean a clear result.

Sean nodded while listening patiently. After thanking again, he said goodbye to Professor Nick.

Dining in the restaurant, reviewing content, studying in class, and even making a few funny jokes with classmates after class... Sean’s behavior is no different from the past. Clockwork with gears.

No one could find any abnormality from Sean.

But Helaier knew that things were not that simple, because he was the only one who witnessed the moment Sean was behind the wall.

He didn't understand the complicated presentation. He only saw the corner of the young man's mouth showing a mocking smile, and then gradually narrowed into a stiff line as time went by. Strong and crazy emotions surged.

It's like being swept away by a storm, and what remains on the young man is more like the dead silence on the ruins.

"Aren't you going to say something?" The black cat jumped onto the page, blocking the young man's sight.

"I don't have anything to say." Sean's tone was flat, "Or what do you want me to say?"

"When human beings feel sad, don't they like to find someone to talk to? Isn't this the kind of people who come and go in the church every day?" Herrell said in a rare and serious tone, "We have a contract, so you can't tell others. You can tell me what you have to say."

Sean lowered his eyes and didn't speak.His gaze was fixed on the hairy tail wagging left and right, and he suddenly stretched out his hand.

The next moment, a real tingling came from the fingertips.

"Human! Are you crazy? Who allowed you to touch me!" There was a crackling voice in my ear, "Let me go."

"Sorry, it's been shaking, I just want to touch it." Sean glanced at the little blood spot on his finger, but didn't take it seriously.

"You!" The black cat was annoyed by Sean's casual attitude. It glared at Sean angrily, then jumped off the table and disappeared.

The room returned to silence again, Sean sat alone, his eyes slightly empty.He understands Herrell's kindness, but he himself is not a person who is good at talking.Rather than venting violently and embarrassingly, he still prefers to bear and digest silently by himself.

Emotions are useless, what he needs is the complete truth behind the incident.

"Let's start with the first move." Sean sighed inaudibly. He stood up and arranged his clothes in front of the mirror, then picked up the shiny invitation letter on the table, and in the dim yellow In the dark, I left the Rose House.

As night falls, the Violet Garden lights up, and the gorgeous lights shine through the glass surface, just like a hazy fairyland in mythology.The courtyard is situated within the College, but title to the land is the property of the Falcons.The courtyard is evergreen in all seasons and the temperature is pleasant. There are man-made water channels outside, and the fountain standing in front of the statues of angels undulates and flows down from layers of discs.

"His Royal Highness, His Royal Highness is still discussing matters in the palace, and he will not be able to return to the academy until later." Lambert bowed down and said respectfully, "Your Highness said that there is no need to wait for him, and I hope you can have fun at the ball."

"Why did Brother Mars leave me here alone?" In the courtyard, the girl looked lonely, "I don't know anyone at the ball, so I can't handle it at all."

"After the ball starts, I will always be by your side." Lambert knelt on one knee and kissed the back of the girl's hand lightly.

"Thank you, Lambert." The girl's face showed a little embarrassment, and she quietly put her hands on her body, and whispered, "I want to go out and get some air?"

"Of course." Lambert stood up and said, "but it's best to be accompanied."

"Don't worry, the maid will follow me, and it's just walking around the academy." After speaking, the girl ran out of the courtyard like a bird with her skirt in her hands.

"Princess Ornis, please slow down, I can't keep up." A woman shouted from behind, and Ornis was still trotting forward.After finally getting a chance to leave the palace, she didn't want to be guarded by servants like a prisoner anymore.

Ornis hid behind a stone statue, and waited for the footsteps of the servants to walk away before she revealed her head and walked along the dark path towards the courtyard.

"Brother Mars, it's true." Ornis kicked the stones on the ground lightly, and complained angrily, "Leaving me and Lambert alone on purpose, I obviously said that I don't like him anymore."

"And don't all the books say that the princess should be with the prince?" Ornis was muttering softly, stepping on the rolling stones, before she could scream, he lost his balance and fell into the ditch .

The water was freezing at night, and Ornis sat in the ditch full of mud and was stunned.The white and light skirt floated on the water, and the soft and wet touch under her body made her scalp tingle, and after looking at her black and dirty hands, she almost fainted directly.

She didn't dare to call anyone, and her body was bitingly cold. She didn't know how to deal with the current predicament.

Ornis was served by maids for basic necessities of life, and she had never encountered such embarrassment since she was born.A sense of grievance suddenly rushed into Ornis's heart, and crystal tears fell from the corners of her eyes like broken pearls.

With the sound of light footsteps coming, Ornis quickly lowered his head, curled up, and buried his face in the shadow.

After the footsteps disappeared, Ornis's face turned pale. She was so cold that she could only try to get up from the mud with tears in her eyes.

At this time, a dry and warm coat fell on her shoulders.

"Do you need help?" someone said behind her.

Ornis turned her head, and the man stood behind her. He was wearing a gray-black silk shirt, with a slender and straight figure, and his golden hair slightly covered his forehead. His delicate and clear facial features were like masterpieces carved by gods, shrouded in the moonlight. The perfect one doesn't look like a real person.

She... She seems to have met His Royal Highness the prince written in the book.

The man looked around, "Why is there no sign of your servant?"

"I, I got lost with them." Ornis lied in a low voice.

"So that's the case." The man's voice was soft, "Are you injured?"

"Okay, I seem to have sprained my ankle." Ornis finished speaking with his head down, and found that his body had left the icy water.She exclaimed softly, she didn't expect that she would be hugged horizontally by the man.

The heart was beating enthusiastically.

"I'm sorry." The man's voice was apologetic, "Because the water is too cold, I made such an arbitrariness. I hope you can forgive me."

"No, it's okay." Ornis's face was burning hot, and she couldn't help sneaking glances at the man's handsome profile along the way.

It is really the same as written in the book, the fateful encounter between the prince and the princess.Ornis suddenly felt sweet, and the embarrassment of falling into the ditch was instantly forgotten by her.

The man was very considerate and took her all the way to the back door in the courtyard where few people pass by.

"Go in quickly."

Ornis gave a soft "um" in embarrassment. She clenched her hands and was thinking about what to say, but found that the man had turned and left.

"I haven't had time to ask the name yet." Ornis was a little frustrated, and then she saw the men's dress on her shoulders, and a happy and shy smile appeared on her face again.

There were bright and flickering fireworks blooming in the sky, sweet petals fluttered from the gate of the Violet Garden in the wind, and the beautiful stream of light reflected on Sean's icy face.

Ornis Salfid, the second princess of the Saint Via Empire, the most favored little princess of the royal family.Because she is so well protected, she is innocent and ignorant, ignorant of worldly affairs.Six years ago, there was a drought in the northern part of the empire, and countless livestock were killed and injured, and the lives of the poor were hard and unbearable.When the news spread to the palace, the kind-hearted Princess Ornis boldly put forward the good idea of ​​"making the poor drink milk" in front of the nobles, and became a laughing stock in the court. " nickname.

Sean walked alone like the Violet Garden, his out of place attire was naturally pointed at by people who saw him around.

"Civilian, is this how you treat the grace bestowed on you by His Highness?" Lambert stood on the mirror-like marble, raised his arms, and looked with undisguised hostility.

Sean stopped, and his eyes happened to meet Lambert's. "Is there anything wrong?"

"Wrinkled shirt, with mud-stained cuffs, and dirty shoes with black marks." Lambert sneered, "It really looks like a commoner."

Sean nodded, and then seemed to think of something funny, raised his eyebrows slightly, "I saved a cat on the road, and I accidentally made it like this."

"Save the cat?" Lambert frowned, this excuse was simply ridiculous, he only felt that Sean's expression was more like a mockery of him.

"Yeah, can I go in now?" Sean said.

"A vulgar person like you doesn't deserve to step in here." Lambert said coldly.

"Xion." At this moment, someone called from the courtyard.

Sean looked up and saw Erics in a white dress waving at him.

"You have already hooked up with the young master of the Cabed family. You are more capable than I imagined." Lambert's words were barbed and extremely sharp.

The gold-plated invitation letter was tapped on his chest, Lambert was slightly taken aback, and a man's faint voice came from his ear, "What you should do now is to entertain the guests invited by His Highness. You must know that the servants can't do their job well. It’s the owner’s face that’s lost.”

The man walked away lightly, passing him by.

He was taught a lesson by a commoner.

Lambert gritted his teeth slightly, with a look of shame on his face, and the invitation letter was squeezed into a ball by him.

"Are you also invited by His Royal Highness Mars?" Alex asked.

Sean let out a "hmm" and took a sip of his glass.He didn't know what this proud man of heaven was thinking, as if he couldn't perceive the strange gazes of the people around him, he still had to stand beside him talking to himself.

"Sean, it's great to see you here. I don't know anyone at this dance except you." Alex scratched his head and said awkwardly.

"We don't know each other well either."

"Don't be so heartless, we also had dinner together." Alex whispered, sounding a little pitiful.

Why is it still like a puppy?He thought that this person would grow up a little over the years.

Sean frowned slightly and said nothing.

"Are you angry?" Seeing that there was no sound for a long time, Alex glanced at the man's face, "I'm sorry, I was rude, I just want to make friends with you."

"Make friends?" Hearing this, Sean squeezed the wine glass tightly, "Don't you know your identity?"

"I, my identity...what's wrong?" Erics was stunned by the sudden serious tone, his voice stuttered a bit.

"That's where you should stay." Sean looked at the five or six young people standing there, all of whom were members of the Falcon Society.

"But--"

"You and I stand together without distinction, and your behavior will only make my situation more embarrassing." Sean's voice was cold, and after he finished speaking, he ignored Erics and walked to another corner of the courtyard alone .
