The Next Prince, Chapter 27 pg6
Thank you. By the way, Evaa. Do you like playing any musical instruments?” Perhaps the glint in his eyes revealed genuine admiration, Khanin agreed to lower the barrier and engage in conversation.
At the very least, he was glad that Evaa did not grumble about the dance.
“I'm not really into music. I'd rather shoot a bow and arrow.” She said it with a comedic tone, before placing the tea cup in her hand, only to miss and half of it spilled onto the table. She then pointed to the bow and arrows held by two followers.
“So, you're good at archery, huh? Impressive.”
“That's my favorite activity. Would you like to try it, Khanin? I can teach you.” The younger one seemed more eager than the older. Evaa's gestures were lively whenever she talked about her beloved activities.
“Uh... Sure, whenever I have free time. Count on me.” Once again, Khanin let his guard down. He considered the girl in front of him. At this moment, he still didn't know where the other person would end up. If, in the end, Evaa proved to be genuinely kind-hearted, he would be more than happy to be a good friend rather than an adversary.
Khanin could distinguish that even in the field of competition, they fought for victory for the sake of their families. However, that didn't mean they had to hate each other.
“Well... today Khun Charan didn't go to work at the art school, you know...”
Evaa meant that 'Morpheus' made Charan a little quiet.
“Today, 'Morpheus' closed Your-Highness.” The young man chose to answer the question in a general way without specifying or explaining anything further, which surprised Khanin because this response went beyond a simple explanation.
“Yes, it will be closed frequently. Because the owner is not often available.”
“What do you mean by that...”
Because Khun Charan has a new role as an affectionate companion, right...
Isn't that right, Khun Charan?”
For a moment, Charan thought he saw a hint of hidden pain under Young Prince's bright smile and charming face. Khanin deliberately spoke to generate gossip.
It was clear that the other side intended to reveal this matter publicly, as there were still two or three noble servants who had not gone anywhere. They were cunning players, capable of hitting multiple birds with one stone.
“Are you referring to Khanin’s affectionate companion...” Evaa was a bit confused, and if one had to guess the reason, it was probably due to the issue of swordsmanship exams.
Everyone knew that being an affectionate companion was not a role for just anyone. Somehow, there had to be a certification process, but because this lady was very mindful of etiquette, Evaa didn't dare to ask directly.
People in general had grown accustomed to images of questionable skill in combat and swordplay, so it was not surprising that doubts arose.
“Yes, Khun Charan didn't take the swordsmanship exam, but he was appointed based on his qualifications...” Khanin clearly stated, observing the reaction of the young lady in front of him.
“If that's the case, it's good. You won't be lonely, right... By the way, Khanin, do you know the special rules for this year's competition?” Evaa didn't show surprise or negativity towards the new information she had received. Instead, she continued to discuss another important topic.
“What kind of rules?”
“The rules for the substitute competition.”
“Why? Is there something?” In fact, Khanin already knew some details about this from Chakri, but he just wanted to know if Evaa would tell the truth or explain further, before she chose to show a puzzled expression and diverted the conversation.
Because in this round of competition,because there are three teams then one team will advance directly without having to compete through drawing lots. The other two teams will have to compete in the first round to find the team that will advance, and they will have a special advantage as the reserve team. Instead of having only five members as before, they will have the advantage of six team members, for fairness...”
“...”
“And to avoid any claims of defeat due to the weaker team in the first round... You, Khanin, should prepare yourself to form the team.” The Thawetmetha family's daughter explained everything in great detail, and it proved to Khanin clearly that the other party wanted him to see it too.
Evaa wanted a fair game. And so did Khanin.
“Thank you, Evaa, for the information.”
“You're welcome.”
“Let's do archery next weekend if we have time... Let's go shoot some arrows.”
From now on, only Ramil remains to be sure whether that individual is trustworthy or not, regardless of how honest people in the field may be. Khanin himself could not trust everyone entirely.
Because he doesn't know that outside the field... There are still people who think of destroying him.
The atmosphere of the charity event at the Puchongpisut family Hospital is crowded with mass media. This afternoon, Ramil traveled to attend the event as a representative of the Puchongpisut family leader.
Working amidst people is not a big deal for Ramil. He was born and raised with this, being forced to leave work and work in front of the media until he got used to it, it's not a big deal.
Except that being questioned by some unscrupulous media sometimes makes him feel uncomfortable...
