"Yeah, that's right, it's been a long time."

Arthur replied with a bright smile

'Well it's good to see you all well, I might need you soon'

Carlos answered him as if giving a hint, Arthur understood the situation and told his sister calmly

“Sister, can you go back to your place?,..I have something to talk about with Duke Solea.”

Helen heard what her brother said

'Forgot we're twins?!,..so don't talk to me like you're my dad, I'm going to condone your behavior just this once'

'Have a good time'

Helen went in a little annoyed, curious what kind of conversation they had.

Arthur and Carlos went into one of the rooms while Ryan remained greeted by the audience and all eyes were on him

"Damn it, why do I have to suffer like this? I don't like people looking at me like that."

"Please come back quickly, Dad."

Meanwhile Carlos was talking to Arthur

Carlos: 'Listen, Arthur, the Emperor and I have begun, searching for every clue that might lead us to the culprit responsible for the recent incidents.'

Arthur: 'You mean the incident with the Daphs family and the Empress?'

Carlos: 'Yeah, that's right, so I'm asking you to help find him.'

Arthur: 'Don't worry, my lord duke, if I find out any news I'll pass it on to you at once.'

Carlos put his hand on Arthur's shoulder and smiled brightly

'Thank you, you will be of great help to us'

Arthur was surprised by the duke and remained bewildered

"Did he just smile?"

Carlos and Arthur both returned to their place

Carlos: 'How are you, Line?'

Lane sighed: 'Don't you see that I'm about to die, why did you leave me with all the invitees?'

'I've received all the compliments and I'm so bored, isn't there a kid my age?'

Carlos: 'Do you want to be your friend?'

Lynn: "Yeah, that's right."

Carlos sarcastically: "Then good luck, little one."

Lane felt embarrassed and replied back

'Don't treat me like a little child'

Carlos: But you really are a little kid.

Lane got angry and his cheeks swelled, it was a very cute look when he was angry..

***

The night has passed and the night shows will now begin.

Line: "I'm so excited to see the fireworks, I always watch them with my sister"

"...it was a beautiful moment"

Suddenly the trumpet sounded in the base, and the doorman called

'The royal family of the Xinya Empire enters'

Finally the royal family arrived, Emperor "Edward" and both princes "Ethan and Hayley" entered, all eyes of the audience directed towards them.

"How could they be so beautiful?"

"Their beauty is blinding."

"Oh, my heart beats so hard to see them."

Carlos and Lane walked over to greet them

'Welcome to the royal family, you have honored us with your presence. I hope you enjoy the banquet.'

Emperor: 'Good evening, congratulations Lane on your debut'

Line: "Thank you, Emperor."

Suddenly the prince turned to Lane and held his hands, he looked so excited.

'So you're Lane?, Nice to meet you, how about we become friends?'

Lane was a bit confused by his actions but he smiled and said happily

'It is my honor, Your Highness.'

Ethan: That's great, so let's go have a good time.

Oh, wait a minute, I didn't introduce you to my sister.

Ethan held his sister's hand, she was a bit depressed because she hadn't gotten over the shock of the accident...

This is my sister, Hayley William de Chenia, the second princess.

Lane smiled, "Nice to meet you, Princess."

The princess replied coldly

'Nice to meet you, Mr. Lane'

Lane was a little sad, the princess used to be so cheerful and always happy, but now she's changed

Carlos turned to them and said

'Go outside and play a bit, you'll see fireworks soon'

'Thank you, Duke'

Lin and the two princes went outside to play, and the Emperor and the Duke kept discussing the most important news.

Lane took the two princes to the greenhouse to play there

They were amazed at its beauty and splendor. It was full of flowers, in the middle of which was a beautiful water fountain.

Suddenly Ethan grabbed Lane's hand and told him

'Are you Ryan?'

Lane was shocked by his words and felt afraid

'how did you know?'
