Chapter 246
Rin made a noble salute to the girl: "I have met Princess Lina."
"I know you are Elise's little fiancé."
Lina gave Rin a big smile: "Elise and I met once when we were children, and we became pen pals after that. I have known you from her letters."
When Elise heard this, her little face turned red, and her silly hair swayed happily from side to side.
"And Lady Emilia, how are you after we haven't seen each other for a few years?"
"Hmm, not bad."
Emilia only met her once, so she didn't have a deep impression, but she still expressed her greetings.
If it were an ordinary person, she would just nod and be done.
Rin felt that this princess should be a good person.
Otherwise, with Elise’s holy talent, she would never become friends with her.
I haven't heard Elise mention it before, maybe because this pen pal is so far away and so regrettable.
Sylvester asked softly: "Sister, let's have something to eat together."
"Okay, seeing so many people today, I suddenly feel a lot better. Elise, can I sit next to you?"
Of course Elise would not object and nodded her little head repeatedly.
There was one more person at the banquet, but the atmosphere became even better.
Princess Lena, like Elise, is full of kindness in dealing with others and is very good at observing people's emotions.
She spoke very little, but every time she inadvertently brought the topic to a circle that everyone was interested in, while she smiled and listened carefully.
With her here, Rin felt embarrassed to mention yesterday's bad thing directly, so she took the opportunity to blackmail him.
Fortunately, her health was so bad that after just sitting for more than forty minutes, she already looked faintly tired and even a little bit in pain.
Despite this, he kept smiling and listened quietly to everyone's chat.
It was Elena who first noticed something was wrong with her and said, "Lina, don't hold on, go back and rest."
Sylvester also said: "The banquet will go on for a long time, my sister, please go and rest."
Lina tilted her head, thought for a moment and said, "Since it will take a long time, I will rest in my brother's palace for a while. I still have a lot to say to Elise afterwards."
"Yeah, yeah, I'll wait for you." The silly roe deer nodded his little head repeatedly.
"I'll send her in."
Elena said, pushing Lina in with her eyes narrowed and a smile on her face.
The restaurant was silent for a while, and then the chat continued, but it was not as active as before. Sylvester, who was originally chatting, had a sad look on his face.
He does seem to love his sister very much.
After leaving the restaurant, Lina's expression suddenly became tired, she leaned in her wheelchair, covered her heart and frowned in pain.
Elena pushed her into the bedroom, and after the maid helped Lina to lie down on the bed, she dismissed all the maids.
The elegant smile she had always maintained turned into helplessness: "Isn't this tormenting yourself?"
Hearing this, Lina still looked at Elena with a slight smile, but her eyes were very deep: "What, you've been pretending for a long time and got into the show, are you worried about me?"
Chapter 27 Be careful
Hearing this, Elena sneered: "My good intentions are worth mentioning. I just think it's rare to have someone who can see through my disguise at a glance. It would be a pity to die."
Lina ignored her, touched her hand unconsciously, stared at it in a daze, and laughed to herself for a while.
"Is this what it feels like to have a friend who cares about you? Alas, it's a pity that I'm not destined to have them for a long time."
She just said a word of self-pity, and her expression became relaxed again.
"By the way, is the newly promoted baby-faced Holy Son your target?"
Elena was stunned: "What do you mean by this?"
Lina said with a smile: "During the banquet, you glanced at him more than forty times in total, and only glanced at Emilia-sama ten times. You paid so much attention to him and you still said it was not true."
"Elena" rolled her eyes: "I've looked at you a dozen times."
"That doesn't count. Anyway, he must be your target, I'm sure."
Lina thought about the proud-looking boy and narrowed her eyes: "He looks quite cute and attractive. No wonder Elise is already deeply involved in it and can't extricate herself."
"You know this too?"
"She keeps staring at her fiancé. She can't hide the love in her eyes. It's just that you didn't pay attention because there were other things on your mind."
"Elena" said stubbornly: "I can see it too, okay."
"And Lady Emilia..."
Lina thought for a while, shook her head, but still didn't say anything.
That was just her intuition and guess. Lady Emilia was really hard to figure out, and even she didn't dare to be sure of her own thoughts.
"Since your target is Elise's fiancé, I must warn you."
Lina's smile disappeared and she said seriously: "Don't hurt others, and don't destroy other people's feelings, otherwise I won't continue to keep secrets for you."
"Fuck."
Irina couldn't help but cursed: "I just want to see how my bad friend, who is as annoying as you, is doing with the person I'm obsessed with! What are you thinking? It seems like I'm going to seduce you. Same as him."
As he spoke, he felt a little guilty and turned his head away.
Lina regained her smile, looking at her with a smile on her face and saying nothing.
"Tsk, I just feel a little bit unwilling. That stinky woman has been mocking me for not having a boyfriend... Hey? Isn't that right? That guy has more than one woman. Even if I do that, it can't be considered as a destruction."
"I'm just reminding you."
"... You and her are really annoying. It's as if you are the smartest in the world and everyone else is a fool."
Lina showed a little interest: "I really want to know what the person who makes you hate him so much looks like."
"Don't, I get goose bumps just thinking about you two getting together."
"Then... let's do this for now. I'm very tired."
Lina said, unable to hold on any longer. She leaned on the pillow and closed her eyes to rest.
"Elena" looked at her silently for a while, with a complicated look on her face.
She has always been very wary of this girl who can easily see through her disguise and guess that she is a night demon.
However, such an intelligent, kind, and non-hostile human being is about to run out of energy at such a young age.
It is hard not to feel emotional, God is jealous of talents.
…
Not long after, Elena had turned back, smiled at everyone and sat back in her seat.
Everyone continued to eat and drink.
“Rin, as the saying goes, there is no acquaintance without fighting. We will be friends in the future. I have some apology gifts, you must accept them.”
Sylvester drank a lot of wine, his face was red, and he looked more heroic, clapping his hands.
Several servants came in with boxes, stood in a row, and opened the boxes in their hands.
For a while, the golden light was dazzling, as if it illuminated the room a little.
Rin glanced and saw that they were all some gems and jewelry, some beautiful jade paintings, and even antique utensils to play with, with a large number and more varieties.
Whether you like the more vulgar gold jewelry or the more elegant antiques and calligraphy and paintings, you can get what you like.
This guy is quite good at being a person. He took the initiative to apologize before he even opened his mouth.
Well, if Rin hadn't been suspicious of him, maybe he would have really treated him as a friend.
Unfortunately, it's hard to estimate how much money there is.
Rin didn't show any emotion: "I said before that I didn't care anymore, what does this mean?"
"It's just a verbal apology, how can it show sincerity? Rin, this is also my little thought, I will feel relieved if you accept it."
Sylvester said, touching his nose, looking a little embarrassed.
"Since you said so, then I will accept it, thank you, the eldest prince."
"Just call me Xi Er, friends call me that."
The eldest prince said, happily picked up the wine glass and bumped it with Rin's juice glass. Both of them looked like they were going to forget their grudges with a smile.
Rin drank the grape juice and wanted to buy all the boxes. He glanced at Sylvester who was expecting him, and suddenly his heart moved.
He looked at the silly roe deer sitting opposite: "Iris, is there anything you like? Go and have a look, I will give it to you!"
Iris glanced at Rin strangely.
She doesn't lack these things at all, and she has no hobbies for them. Little Lin can't be unaware of this.
Compared to jewelry and the like, she prefers reading romance novels, eating sweets, and watching stage plays.
Lin turned away with disdain and said, "Why don't you choose? By the way, Xier, my stupid princess doesn't understand these. Can you give me some suggestions?"
"Rin, you think too highly of me... Well, then I'll explain it for the time being."
The silly roe deer Daimao turned around twice, nodded, and walked happily to several boxes with his hands behind his back. He looked around and asked Xier curiously.
Fei Miao also looked at Lin strangely. Lin was impatient with being stared at, so she stretched out her hand and gave her a slap.
"Why are you always staring at me? Eat your food."
As he said, he cut a leg into slices and put them on Fei Miao's plate.
Emilia stared at the ham on the plate blankly, wanting to say that she was full.
While she was in a daze, her hand was suddenly touched by Lin, and then something was stuffed into her hand.
The useless cat tilted his head and glanced at Lin. Seeing him winking at him, as if they had telepathy, the brave man put the things into the inventory with his backhand in the blink of an eye.
Lin nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile: "Eat quickly, this young master cut it for you, okay?"
This meal has been three hours so far, mainly because the interval between servings is long.
In order to allow guests to taste more different dishes, the portion of each dish is good, but there are many types, and some new dishes will be served every once in a while.
Roughly speaking, from appetizers to soups, more than 20 dishes have been served.
What Lin cut for her now is the smoked ham unique to the Holy Empire, which is smoked and roasted from fragrant pigs that grew up eating hazelnuts, and has a very unique and heavy flavor.
She likes this ham very much... but she has already eaten a lot!
However, this is specially given to her by the dead tsundere, and she has to eat it.
Relying on her good digestive system and various resistances to messy things, Emilia had to bury her head and eat crazily.
At this time, Iris also sat back down.
"Hehe, Xiaolin, I've already chosen it, do you think it looks good?"
As she spoke, Iris held up a pink brooch and showed it off to Lin.
"Tsk, it's OK."
Rin said, then stood up and put all the boxes into the space ring.
Seeing Lin accept the gift, Xier seemed very happy and couldn't help drinking more wine.
After chatting for less than half an hour, Xier seemed a little drunk.
The meal had lasted for a long time, and there was no more food, just some snacks.
At this banquet, everyone was very full.
When we returned to the reception room from the restaurant, the table was already filled with brewed black tea, some hawthorn cakes and other food for digestion, and a fruit plate.
Next to the table, there was already a girl in a wheelchair, waiting quietly.
"Lina, have you rested well?" Xier asked hurriedly.
