Chapter 808 Half-Drunk

Unedited

...............

On the other hand, Lily was also dealing with some drama in the form of Prince Leandro, Princess Mikaela, and Princess Eliza. The three are actually arguing a few feet away from where she sat. Their voices were in a low hush, making sure that only the three of them can hear whatever it is that they were talking about.

"You know…" It was her brother. Qin Yuanfeng never left Lily's side since they arrived in the hall. "I think being royalty is tiring." He said. "And not as rewarding." He heard from Eliza that they always have events like this one. Events that needed everyone to interact with other people, nobles, and royalties from other countries. This is something that the poor Yuanfeng could not do. Talking to people about history and politics and the current issues in the economy is not his thing.

Moreover, smiling while doing such things needs a lot of effort! How could these people maintain a smiling face while arguing? This is a question that he would never understand.

"I feel you." Levi who was sitting next to Yuanfeng chimed in. Unlike Eliza's fiery and bubbly personality, Levi is the exact opposite. He is quiet and does not really like to argue much with people. Just like Qin Yuanfeng, he too would prefer to just do his hobbies. Surfing the waves and skiing, playing video games, and maybe even dancing. Just simple stuff that would give him a satisfying feeling. "Being like them is indeed hard."

Both Qin Yuanfeng and Lily turned to look at Levi. However, both decided not to say anything.

"Do you want to leave this place? Maybe we could get some air?" Levi asked.

"Can we do that even if the Duke is not yet here?" Qin Yuanfeng asked.

In response, Levi only shrugged. "No. But no one would notice." However, Qin Yuanfeng still ended up refusing. How could he leave Lily alone in the middle of all the wolves eying her? More especially, that Harringfort had been trying to get close to Lily for a few minutes now. The only thing that is stopping the man is the fact that Eliza and the other Nassae siblings are standing next to Lily.

"Ah! Cousin!"

The trio's attention immediately turned towards Rafa who was walking towards Levi.

"Your highness Levi." Rafa was beaming as he stood next to Levi. He turned his head towards Lily and Qin Yuanfeng. Smiling, he held his hand as he introduced himself as the Duchess nephew, the grandson of Lord Neeson. One of the most prominent family names in France.

In response, Lily and Qin Yuanfeng shook his hand and also introduced themselves as random businessmen. All night, Lily had been introducing herself as Eliza's friend whom she met in Hong Kong. While all the businessmen that she talked to believed her words, Rafa is actually different.

He had long heard of stories about Friedrick, the stubborn prince who abandoned his princedom to marry a struggling businesswoman. As someone who is related to the Duchess, Rafa knows that this Lily is actually Friendrick's granddaughter and Qin Yuanfeng, his grandson.

This was the reason why he completely understood Leandro when he warned him about staying away. After all, no matter how much they look at it, Lily and Qin Yuanfeng have enough to threaten the royal family of this kingdom. No matter how much one denies it, the people who were supposed to represent this country are these two people next to Levi.

Because of this, Rafe didn't ask any more questions when Leandro told him that Lily is dangerous. Of course, she was dangerous. She is more influential than most people in this room. Lily does need to cower and try to create relationships with anyone in this room so she could have new clients and make money out of them. And someone who is not here for favors and gaining more influence can be considered dangerous.

"I have long heard stories about Lilian Facci. She sounds like a really intelligent woman." He beamed. Even his grandfather who is a very eccentric man agrees that Lilian is one of the most powerful women in Europe. "I believe the previous Prince Fred has chosen well." He chuckled, making sure that his voice was low, just enough for Lily and Qin Yuanfeng to hear.

"She is indeed a remarkable woman." Levi agreed. As someone who is almost always accompanying his twin sister who can't stop talking about strong feminists like Lilian and Lily, he was already very familiar with these people. And to be honest, he would not want to stray this conversation towards that topic again. Having one Eliza is just enough for him. Sadly, he could not just blurt this all out to his cousin.

"I know!" Rafa Neeson beamed. "However, I still think that leaving this prosperous country is the wrong decision after all. I mean… he was supposed to" He whispered. "Inherit the throne right?"

It was said that Friedrick was actually the one who gave funds to his wife, Lilian to make some investments for the business. Meaning, Lilian would not have any success in business without her husband's support. She might be a brilliant businesswoman, however, the fact that she is nothing without her husband is disgusting.

Because of this… Rafa actually believed that the better choice was to become the king of this country where he could freely rule and do whatever he wants without worrying about any bankruptcy.

Of course, these words immediately got Lily's attention. She pursed her lips and continued to listen as the man started comparing Lilian to other princesses at that time. He even went as far as mentioned to her grandfather's fiance, the woman that he was supposed to marry instead of Lilian. But instead of saying anything, Lily and Qin Yuanfeng stayed silent.

First, they didn't know any of these things before. Second, the two would not want to create some argument with someone who was already half-drunk even when the party just began and third… well… let's just say that Harringfort was already walking on their way.

Both Lily and Qin Yuanfeng know what would follow next.

He would introduce himself and try to strike a conversation with Lily. After all… she was supposed to be the woman that was set to marry Antone Harringfort.
