Mythology Rebooted-Chapter 470 - 210 Supreme Command_2

"How could this be okay, the wife of Austin owns a seal, his lover can’t be left out either, I am very fair in my dealings."

"..."x6

The air instantly grew tense!

Wayne seized the opportunity to sicken Austin a bit, he is a very fair man after all, willing to give Austin a chance to explain, as for Austin’s absence, that was none of his concern.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

Megan’s entire face went dark, she retreated to the side, synchronizing with Hefei in wiping her face.

It was time to give presents, and Verily was the first to charge, bringing the gift to Wayne, "Wayne, I have prepared two gifts for today, and the other one is my..."

Mommy, this is a slide you can’t even touch!

"I can guess the other gift, very surprising, I like it very much."

Wayne interrupted, and upon seeing Verily’s disappointed expression, he coughed lightly with a clenched fist and pointed to his face, "As the king, it is my royal command that you leave a seal on me."

Only then did Verily smile radiantly, boldly hugged Wayne’s neck, and stamped a kiss on his face.

Next was Mona, still composed as ever.

When it was Chris’s turn, the upperclassman gave Wayne a white look, not exposing him, expressing her disgust that both sides of Wayne’s face had been kissed, she lightly tapped on his forehead.

Last was Veronica, obstinately holding the present, refusing to comply with the King’s command.

Hefei tilted her head, standing by and noticing that her student was very popular. In her eyes, Verily and Mona had basically laid their cards out on the table, no more acting involved, whereas Chris, being introverted, had put on a bit of a show.

Her daughter...

It was better left unsaid; she couldn’t bear to watch anymore.

No, she had to give a push.

"Veronica, if it’s too much, then a kiss on the forehead is fine, it’s very normal among friends, nobody will take offense."

"Not even the forehead, it’s too intimate."

"But this is an order from the king, or... shall I do it for you?"

Hefei raised an eyebrow, ready to take action; seeing this, Veronica swiftly shielded her, and what caught her eye...

Wayne: (⁄⁄•⁄ω⁄•⁄⁄)

Veronica: (눈_눈)

Seeing this familiar expression, she suddenly wasn’t shy anymore, and not only that, her fists were itching.

Come on, what’s the use of just looking, do something!

Hefei was incredibly anxious, her feet gave way, and she shoulder-checked Veronica by accident.

"Oh no, I slipped."

The acting was terrible, but it served its purpose, taking advantage of Veronica’s unpreparedness for a surprise attack.

Veronica was ambushed from behind and lunged headfirst toward Wayne, terrified she closed her eyes as the visage of a societal pest grew ever closer.

Wayne stepped back, catching her in his arms, and cocked his head to look at Hefei, "Teacher, I hope you didn’t sprain your ankle?"

Saying this, regardless of Hefei’s helpless face, he told Veronica, "A hug is also okay, I know you’re shy, consider this as you having made your stamp."

Veronica, her face flushed, pushed Wayne away, indignantly complaining to Hefei, what kind of slip was that, it was clearly on purpose.

Who has such a mother!

She went alone to the window, clenching her teeth and glaring outside.

This child, nine out of ten times, would remain single for life...

Hefei sighed with emotion; with Wayne surrounded by people as fierce as wolves and tigers, the environment was so harsh, she saw no possibility of victory for her daughter.

She felt it necessary to talk to Austin about the engagement, while there’s still time, quickly bring up the betrothal to tie down the man, wait too long, and the student she raised would run off with someone else.

Blockhead, you wouldn’t want your heir to switch loyalties, would you?

Chris looked at Hefei dumbfounded, shocked by the brazenness of high society; to think that stepmothers would even consider matching their children, who share a father but different mothers!

Is the Naturalism Church so liberal, no, this perverted?

Both being High Priestesses, the innocent Philomena shone brightly, her image rising indefinitely in Chris’s mind, her whole being seemed to glow.

The King’s seal was limited to four, Hefei and Megan surely had no chance, both received their cake, participated in the birthday events twice, then left on their own.

With two outsiders gone, Wayne’s birthday event immediately became lively, fetching red wine from the wine cellar, swearing to drink to the point of no return tonight.

Verily was the first to fall, followed closely by Mona; then Chris fell, in the exact same order as the gift-giving segment.

Veronica had an amazing capacity for liquor, insisting she wouldn’t get drunk no matter what.

Makes sense, after all, Essence of Life was at stake, it wasn’t that easy to fall over drunk.

The first three to fall were actually the same, it was hard to say if they were truly drunk or just pretending.

"Veronica, I’ll help them to their rooms to rest first, so they don’t catch cold, then I’ll come back, and we can settle our match," Wayne put down his wine glass, rising and holding Verily in his arms.

"I’ll do this, you go and help the upperclassman," said Veronica, snatching Verily away. She was ninety-nine percent sure Verily was pretending to be drunk.

Too dangerous, she couldn’t let these two be alone, otherwise Verily would surely seize the opportunity to deliver her second gift.

The upperclassman has no fear, the gift of moonlight was just one.

After that, not caring about Wayne’s reaction, she hoisted Verily up and went upstairs.

Wayne shrugged, laughing at the thought that Veronica was thoughtless and Verily not clever enough; it would be unjust for the upperclassman not to win.

He carried Princess Chris in his arms, and she murmured softly, wrapping her arms around his neck.

When they reached the room, Wayne closed the door, set Chris on the bed, and she slowly opened her eyes, their heads naturally coming together.

Slick talker.

After a kiss, the aftertaste was endless.

Chris squinted her eyes, "What’s the deal with Lady Hefei, she’s trying to match you with Veronica, did I see that wrong?"
