Chapter 576

Ariel suddenly realized and immediately apologized to Mu En:

"I'm very sorry, I... I didn't know... Miss Mu Si had such a past, I offended..."

"No, it's okay."

Mu En waved his hand generously, just hoping to send this great god away quickly.

However, what made Mu En speechless was that he didn't know since when, the sickly and weak beautiful girl who had been bedridden for a long time had completely become his current setting?

"Huh, I almost made a mistake again."

Seeing that the blonde beauty didn't pursue anything because of her rudeness, Ariel patted her chest and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Cecilia's friends felt disgusted with her, it would be a big minus. In all the books she had read about girl psychology and strategies, it was emphasized that the friends of the target of the strategy could not only provide great help for her progress, but also become a mountain that blocked her.

Therefore, Cecilia's friends are now the ones who must not be offended, and they must be brought into a relationship as soon as possible!

It's just...

Ariel touched her chin, her eyes swept over the tall figure of the blonde girl under the dress, and her brows were still slightly wrinkled unconsciously.

Why do I always feel that this girl...I have seen her somewhere before?

"By the way, Cecilia doesn't seem to have returned to the academy recently. Is she busy with something?"

Putting aside those strange thoughts for the time being, after a round of greetings, Ariel also seized the opportunity and quickly chatted with Cecilia.

"I have something to deal with recently, so I don't have time to return to the academy."

Cecilia didn't mention that she was under house arrest, and Ariel seemed to be unaware of it.

"Is that so? You are really busy, worthy of being the princess."

"Normally."

"But speaking of it, it's a bit of a pity."

"What a pity?"

"Yes, didn't Cecilia say before that she wanted to exchange swordsmanship with me? I have been looking forward to it."

"Swordsmanship...I remember your swordsmanship is very good."

"Hehe...also ordinary."

Ariel responded reservedly, but from her straight chest, she never stopped emitting a breath of confidence.

"Then if there is a chance, I will definitely have a discussion. I am also very curious about your swordsmanship."

Cecilia nodded with interest.

After receiving this answer, Ariel's eyes lit up and she was about to strike while the iron was hot... Unfortunately, even though she never cared much about the so-called atmosphere, the glances from the surroundings at the same time also forced her offensive to stop abruptly.

They have already walked into the ballroom.

As a princess of the empire, Cecilia naturally became the focus of the whole audience as soon as she entered, not only because of her status, but also because of her incomparable appearance and temperament.

The nobles who wanted to greet her had already raised their goblets, like knights holding the reins of their war horses, rushing towards this side.

"Tsk."

Ariel smacked her lips, secretly annoyed why the corridor was so short just now, but also knew that it was not suitable to stay here now, so she could only say goodbye regretfully for the time being and wait for another opportunity later.

Ariel temporarily left this circle, and did not continue to talk with others like other nobles, but went straight to the long tables stored on both sides of the hall and started her own battle.

Cecilia, however, was looking at Ariel's back, not knowing what she was thinking.

Until a faint voice sounded in her ears:

"Wow, Princess, you and that steel plate seem to be quite familiar with each other."

"What do you mean?"

Cecilia retracted her gaze and glanced to the side.

"Nothing, I just saw you two chatting so well, and I was just expressing my feelings."

Mu En turned his head and whistled silently with a nonchalant look.

"Hiss——"

Then his calf was kicked at the speed of light again.

The speed made Mu En's expression distorted, and he gritted his teeth and looked at the vicious woman.

But Cecilia had already retracted her gaze and walked towards the nobles with an elegant posture.

"Pretentious."

Just a slight trace of the corner of her mouth, the vague voice was like a dandelion drifting in the wind.

118. The Great Prince

Celysia picked up the wine glass and went to deal with the nobles who were surrounding her like a pack of wolves, but Mu En temporarily retreated to an inconspicuous corner under the pretext of re-making up.

He had the same idea as Ariel, knowing that if he stayed with Celysia at this time, he would inevitably become the focus of all parties. In this case, it would be much more difficult for him to take actions later or get out later.

Not to mention, he could still blend in while hiding in the corner when there were many people. If he was really so conspicuous, Ariel would probably see at a glance that he was the "beauty" she once knew.

When Mu En thought of Ariel running over and excitedly calling him a beauty, he felt a chill.

Therefore, it was better to keep a low profile at this time.

Mu En took some food from the table casually, pretending to eat seriously while secretly paying attention to the entire scene.

Although it was a little different from what he had planned, he still successfully mixed into the ball.

Then what's next...

...

"Your Highness Andrew, the information you requested is here."

In the room alone, Andrew rubbed his tired cheeks and took the relevant information sent by his subordinates:

"Moose Rudoun, is there really such a person?"

"Yes, after verification, Count Rudaun does have such a daughter, but due to long-term illness, Miss Mousse has been unable to leave the room. It is said that she was treated by Princess Celicia herself, so she can move again."

The bright magic stone printed a silhouette of a man sitting in a wheelchair on the wall next to it. The man with a sickly pale skin smiled and explained the content of the intelligence. If Ariel was here, she would recognize at a glance that the subordinate working for Andrew was her eldest brother who had completely lost the position of heir to Bugard in the eyes of the outside world.

"Oh, I'm so lucky to be favored by my sister, but that face does have the qualifications."

After casually glancing at the information, Andrew threw it aside without interest.

Since he knew that his sister didn't do anything conspicuous and weird, he didn't bother to pursue anything. Now a lot of state affairs have made him overwhelmed, and he really didn't have the energy to waste on such meaningless things.

I never knew that dealing with those things would be so tiring before, but I just need to hold on for a while. When he completely controls that position, many things will not be so troublesome.

"Do you need to test it again? After all, Princess Cecilia actually brought her companions to the ball, which is indeed worthy of suspicion." Orlando said.

"You go and make arrangements, be careful, we still need to win the support of my sister, try not to offend her now." Andrew rubbed his temples.

"Yes, I'll go now..."

"Wait a minute, get me some medicine first."

Andrew suddenly stopped Orlando who was about to move his wheelchair to leave.

"Medicine? Your Highness, but you have..."

"Don't talk nonsense, you have medicine on you!"

Andrew turned his head suddenly. He was gentle and elegant just now, but now he was as fierce as a wild beast that had lost his mind.

Under his collar, the black veins were throbbing, and he seemed to be suffering from some unbearable pain.

"Give it to me!"

"Yes..."

Orlando took out a small medicine bottle from his arms and handed it to Andrew respectfully with both hands.

Andrew quickly grabbed it, his expression revealing a slightly ferocious excitement.

There were only three pills in the exquisite medicine bottle, and Andrew swallowed them all in one gulp.

"Your Highness, you also know the current situation. The medicine is hard to get now. Please be a little restrained."

Watching Andrew swallow all the medicine at once, Orlando helplessly advised.

"Stop talking nonsense, that's something you should think about. Do you still want me to teach you how to get this thing?"

After taking the medicine, Andrew closed his eyes and lay on the sofa. His angry expression gradually calmed down, and then turned into an indescribable happiness and intoxication, as if he felt the comfort and trembling from the soul.

The blue veins under the skin also stopped beating and returned to normal.

Orlando was silent and watched this scene quietly, but the eyes that were respectful and humble just now had now turned into undisguised sarcasm and contempt.

"Your Highness Andrew, Prince Albert seems to have arrived."

Not long after, the voice of the waiter came from outside the door. Andrew suddenly opened his eyes and stood up, with a burning desire to fight in his eyes. The fatigue just now was gone, as if it had been completely swept away.

"Very good, let me go to meet my lucky elder brother!" Andrew sneered.

"Yes, Your Highness will definitely win."

Orlando lowered his head at the same time, smiled, and said respectfully and sincerely.

……

……

"Your Highness, His Highness the First Prince has arrived."

Someone whispered to Cecilia. Cecilia, who was chatting with a kind old earl, heard the words and ended the topic with a little apology, turning to look at the slightly noisy and chaotic place in the hall.

Amid the greetings of curiosity, respect, or flattery, the crowd gradually separated, and a figure who stood out from the crowd, supported by a maid, walked slowly with a silver cane in one hand.

It was a man who looked about three points like Cecilia, with a handsome and gentle face, and his long silver hair was casually tied into a ponytail, which looked neat and clean.

Unlike Andrew, who had a slightly restrained but still hard-to-conceal sharpness recently, this man's temperament revealed the word "elegant".

He smiled and responded to everyone's greetings implicitly, and sometimes he would cooperate with some body movements, but his every move would not make people feel any contempt, like a spring breeze.

Some people were delighted to see the eldest prince's posture, while others frowned silently with flickering eyes.

There were more noble girls of marriageable age. When they saw the still unmarried eldest prince Feng Jun walking elegantly, they, who had once disdained this "cerebral palsy" prince, now showed a hungry wolf-like look.

Even some noble young women inadvertently showed a touch of heart-moving style.

Cecilia watched all of this silently, remembering the changes in some people's expressions, and then she took the initiative to greet Albert before he was surrounded by the aroused noble girls.

"Hello, my dear brother Albert."

"Ah, it's Cecilia."

Albert quickly helped Cecilia up and smiled:

"There's no need for this between brothers and sisters."

"She is not only your sister, but also a princess of the royal family. If you are too casual, it will make others laugh at her."

Cecilia smiled politely, but that smile still seemed a little cold to others.

"I just didn't expect that my elder brother Albert still remembered me. I thought I needed to introduce myself when we met this time."

"Ha, Cecilia is joking. Although I was tortured by brain disease before, I still have some vague and mixed memories of the past. I just recovered from the disease, not a different person."

Albert pointed to his head and said jokingly:

"At least I have a very deep memory of my relatives."

119. Brothers are friendly and respectful

"Relatives..."

Cecilia's mouth curled up, not knowing whether she was laughing or mocking herself.

Perhaps they can really be called relatives, but this is in the royal family, and at this time when all parties are very nervous, the word relatives means danger.

At least for the two brothers, it means danger to each other. The second prince, who has a bad reputation, will definitely not be merciful at this critical moment.

"I think if we were not born in an ordinary family without the surname of Leopold, you and Andrew would be truly happy for my recovery."
