Lane looked at Carlos for a bit and then lowered his head sadly

'You know, Dad, I don't want to see you angry today, why don't you smile a little with others...'

'You look prettier when you smile'

'This is what my sister used to tell me when I got angry or sad, and I think she's right.'

Carlos resented his words, he did not want to remind him of his sister so as not to be sad, then he bowed in front of him and grabbed his shoulders and smiled..

'You know, your sister was right, you're prettier when you smile so smile.'

Lane smiled at the duke's words and then smiled.

You are the best dad so always smile

Carlos laughed softly

'yeah i'll try it'

While they were talking, people were amazed at the duke

"Is he really smiling?"

Arthur Sylvia looked from afar at Lane and the Duke.

"I don't think this kid is a normal kid.. This party is really worth it."

Helen looked at her brother in astonishment and said..

'Why do you make such expressions? It's not usual for you to be surprised like this.'

Arthur looked at his sister and smiled

'Don't you see that the miracle of the century happened before our eyes, in 20 years I've never seen the duke smile'

He always looked at me with a scary look and never smiled at anyone.

Helen: 'So that's it! I haven't met the duke much so I'm not as surprised as you are'

Arthur: 'Huh, it's a good thing you haven't seen him often, or he'll disturb your peace and calm.'

Meanwhile Matthew went to say hello

'Good evening Your Excellency the Duke and the Young Duke, congratulations on your debut, Mr Lane.'

Lane smiled, "Thank you, Mr. Matthew."

Carlos: Thank you for coming. I hope you enjoy the banquet.

Matthew looked at Carlos confused and said

'No need to thank me, Duke.'

Then Matthew returned to his place, amazed at Carlos' reaction

Lane looked at the duke and whispered a smile to him

'I see you are so beautiful, so continue like this'

Carlos Lake: 'Didn't I make him confused by my behavior?!'

Lane: 'It doesn't matter, it'll get used to soon'

Carlos: 'Don't you see that you're behaving like me now, you brat?!'

Lane: 'Do I really look like you?'

Carlos patted his head

'You look a lot like me by acting like that'

Lane: 'I guess that's good for me'

Helen whispering to her brother

'Don't you think it's about time we went and greeted them?!'

Arthur: 'Yes, I think so, so grab me and let's go.'

Helen grabbed Arthur and headed for the Duke and Lane

Suddenly, an unexpected person entered the hall.

The guard announced his entry

'Count Daves enters the hall'

Carlos and Lane's gaze suddenly changed

An atmosphere of disgust and suffocation prevailed in the hall, and everyone looked at him cautiously from his place

Whereas, both the Duke and Lane's anger flared up

Especially Lane, he holds a grudge and a great hatred for him, he is trying to control himself so as not to cause an uproar and disaster on this day

Jane turned to them proudly and boldly, and looked at them arrogantly and with a sly smile

'Good evening,..Duke and Mr. Lane...Congratulations on your debut party'

Lane looked at him with disgust and anger, then Carlos took his hand to reassure him and looked at the Count with a frightened look.

'I don't think I invited you to the banquet, Count Davies?'

Jane: “Hah, I know so I said it would be a surprise for you.”

Carlos: 'I think I understand what you mean, it's a disastrous surprise 'you came here'

Jane: 'Haha, you have a good sense of humour, Duke.'

Carlos sarcastically: 'Do I look like someone who's joking? I'm only joking with people who are about to die in battle.'

Jane and the Duke looked at each other, not feeling too confused

“What is this stifling atmosphere?!”

Suddenly Arthur put his hand on Jane's shoulder and whispered to him

'Don't you see that you're annoying a lot?' I've talked enough, and you're not welcome here'

'So let's go'

Arthur and Jane smile menacingly, then Jane decides to go.

Arthur and his sister went to greet the Duke and Lane and said

Good evening, Your Excellency the Duke and Mr. Lane, congratulations on your debut party.

Carlos looked at Arthur and smiled

'Thank you, long time no see Sir Arthur, I hope you are well.'
