Chapter 418 The Third Prince,Lovis Skyfall
“Tsk, that bastard, he just had to cause a ruckus there.”
Lovis, the Third Prince snorted in anger, soon, however, he controlled his emotions and turned towards his sister.
“Sister, don’t think too much about him, he is a gone case. You have a seat here, Leo, bring the Tea.”
“As you command, Third Prince.”
The Butler standing behind Lovis bowed his head and left the room.
Evane looked at her brother and sat on the chair he was pointing at.
Seeing that, Lovis smiled and sat in front of her.
“Haahh… after that annoying party is over, we can finally talk to each other freely.”
“You still don’t like all these parties, do you?”
“Hmph! A place where everyone keeps that disgustingly fake smile on their faces? Sorry, but I would never like something like that.”
Lovis snorted and then, he looked at Evane and smiled,
“I would rather stay in my room with my sister and drink tea peacefully while we two catch up.”
As he said those words, his butler, Leo, returned, behind him was a maid who was pushing a table that had snacks and tea on the top.
“Ah, the Tea is here.”
Lovis’s smile brightened up.
Before the maid could move, he picked up the cup and placed it in front of Evane, then, he picked up the kettle and served the tea to his sister.
“Here.”
“You do not have to do that.”
Evane spoke.
“Ugghh… Sister not you as well.
Can’t I serve my own sister?”
“It’s not like that, but you are a pri-“
“Yes, Yes, I know I am a prince, however, along with the prince, I am your brother as well. Now just sit tight and let me serve you the tea.”
Saying that, Lovis continued to pour tea into Evane’s cup and once he was done, he started pouring the tea into his own cup.
“C’mon, what are you waiting for, let’s drink.”
Saying that, he picked up the cup and started drinking.
There was no sign of his previous mannered self that he showed while he was attending the party. Right now, Lovis looked more… free.
Seeing this, a reminiscing smile appeared on Evane’s face.
This indeed felt good.
With a smile on her face, Evane drank the tea slowly and elegantly.
“Hmmm, this is strange.”
She muttered.
“What happened, Sister?”
Lovis frowned.
Evane then looked at Third Prince and smiled,
“Why are you not cultivating today?”
Hearing those words, Lovis scratched the back of his head embarrassingly.
“Oh C’mon, Sister, I know you are mad about me not meeting you and only focusing on Cultivation, but you should not tease me like that.
Do you really think I would not greet you after you returned to the Palace after so many years?”
“Well, I can definitely imagine you thinking,
‘So what if she is here? It is not like she is only here for 1 or 2 days, she is going to stay here from now on, I can meet her later, it is not a problem, reaching the Expert Stage is more important. Muahahaha'”
“I do not laugh like that!”
Lovis complained.
“Hahaha~”
Evane laughed out loud. Then she extended her hands and pinched Lovis’s nose.
“You are still as cute as before.”
Lovis slapped her hand and pouted.
“I am not a child.”
“Oh don’t worry, even if all your hair turns white, you would still be a child in my eyes.”
Evane chuckled.
“I am not a child!”
Lovis snorted.
“Hahaha~”
Evane laughed out loud.
“Whatever.”
Lovis gave up and then, he questioned.
“So? How was the Academy? Did you enjoy teaching those noble children?”
“Well, I won’t say it was boring.”
Evane answered.
“Oh? What can possibly be so interesting there?”
Lovis questioned with an interested look on his face.
“Oh, there are many interesting things there, much more interesting than cultivation.”
Evane smiled.
“I doubt that.”
Lovis replied.
“Well, students all cultivate together and have fun.”
“That is just a waste of time. Cultivation requires focus and a calm mind.”
Lovis retorted.
“Well… not all types of cultivations require focus…”
Evane mumbled.
“What?”
Lovis couldn’t hear properly.
“Ah, nothing. I was saying that we have a very good restaurant there.”
“Oh C’mon, we have the Best Chefs in the Kingdom working in our kitchen.”
Lovis answered and Evane sighed.
Seeing her like that, Lovis finally realized.
“Haah… now I see why you are back.”
“Hmm? Why?”
“The Academy sounds like a boring place. I would never spend my whole life there.”
“Well, it is still better than the Royal Palace, at least no one keeps up a façade there.”
Evane was quick to defend the Academy.
“Oh? Then why are you here?”
Lovis questioned with a curious smile on his face.
“That…”
Again, Evane didn’t know how to answer that question.
Just like what happened at the party, she didn’t know what she should do. She didn’t want to lie to her brother, however, she couldn’t say the truth either.
She was confused.
Seeing her acting like that, Lovis smiled,
“You are here for the throne, aren’t you?”
“Huh?”
Evane’s eyes widened in surprise.
“N-No, of cou- why wo-“
“Hahaha~ Just look at you, panicking like that. Don’t worry sister, I know you better than anyone. You don’t want the throne. I am sure you just missed us. That is why you are here, right?”
“R-R-Right.”
Evane nodded with a smile on her face.
“Mhm, I missed you a lot as well.”
Lovis nodded.
Evane nodded back and then, Lovis muttered,
“Though I will say, Sister, you came at a really bad time.”
“Hmm? What do you mean?”
Evane frowned.
“Well, according to the Rumors, the King will elect a Crown Prince soon and many think that you are here because you want the Crown for yourself.”
Lovis answered.
“Of course, I know you have no interest in the Throne, however, as your brother, I suggest you to be careful.
First Brother is…
Pretty desperate right now.”
Lovis muttered with a small smile on his face.
“What do you mean?”
Evane frowned.
“Nothing…
Don’t worry, I will protect you.”
“Alright…”
