Chapter 110 Lanche's smell of tea was too strong

e was reflected. In her cool, emerald green eyes, there was a hint of confusion and tiredness that couldn't be concealed.Like wanting to keep people at arm's length while appearing harmless.He raised...Chapter 111: The tea smell on Rance was too strong.

Prince Aenor and Lance stood side by side beside the grand glass wall. The transparent floor-to-ceiling windows allowed them to admire the beautiful scenery of the pedestrian plaza below. Both wore easy smiles on their faces and were engaged in lively conversation.

"Actually, Your Highness Eleanor, this isn't difficult to discern. Judging by the professor's demonstration of the art style from that era, although the second painting appears abstract, there are several obvious flaws in the brushwork. These were not intentional, but rather purely mistakes..."

Listening to Ranchi explain his experiences in the Demon World Art Academy, Eynor's eyes were full of approval as he nodded constantly. He felt that if he looked at those paintings again, he should be able to tell based on Ranchi's key points which ones were painted by the professor and which ones by the students.

Eleanor was also astonished that Lance could analyze everything so thoroughly in the blink of an eye.

Even if one is proficient in modern and classical art, it is still only a human perspective.

And Lanchi could understand the artistic concepts of ancient demons the instant he arrived in the Demon Realm. This was both incredible and unlike anything a human brain could accomplish!

I don't know how many minutes passed.

"By the way, Lanchi, are you and Huberlian here to buy cards today Sophia is a Silver-ranked card maker. If she buys them for you, you'll get quite a few internal association discounts."

Aenor reluctantly steered the conversation away from painting and quickly asked the two of them.

In his joy, Enol also realized that his conversation with Lancelot had left Huberly completely out of the loop. She just sat there, waiting for them to finish.

"Sophia…"

"Lanche repeated the name Enola had mentioned, a hint of confusion in his voice."

“Oh, I forgot to introduce you. You're the only one here who doesn't know her. This is Countess Sophia Fostok. Huberlian and I are acquainted with her.”

Enol clapped her hands, feeling like she had been out of it. Finally, she turned to look at the purple-haired girl who had been staring at her from the sofa.

He almost forgot Sophia.

Lance heard this, and looked towards Sophia, the purple-haired Countess, with a slight nod of greeting.

However, Sophia, who had been secretly observing them from afar since the beginning, seemed unwilling to respond to Lance at this moment. She simply turned her gaze away arrogantly, pretending not to see him.

She was so focused on her cardmaking that she didn't care at all how powerful Ranchi was in the shadow world.

She has never broken any school rules and she never interacts with the student council.

When Enol and Lance were having a friendly conversation, and Lance completely ignored her because of his preoccupation with something else, she felt a spark of anger inside.

Prince Einor had never paid her this much attention before, but in just a little while, he completely forgot about her because of one man!

The glass curtain wall floor-to-ceiling window at the third floor of the Association of Card Makers.

Eanor seemed to have grown accustomed to Sophia's temper, apologizing to Lance without any princely airs.

"Lance, don't mind her, Sophia is actually a good person at heart."

Of course not.

Lanche shook his head.

Since he is a friend of Huberlian, he must be a good person. He's just a little awkward.

Then, Lance answered Anor's previous question: "This time, I came to take the Cardmaker Registration Exam. Hubleyan wants to see me make cards."

For a moment, Eleanor's expression became more animated.

"As expected, Ranchi, can you still make cards"

Enoll asked, his voice filled with surprise, as if he had long suspected that Lynch might also be a card maker.

"Well, I've been practicing hard all the time."

Lanche admitted.

"Excuse me for saying so, but the last time I saw someone so talented was Duke Miyagi."

Eon's words were full of praise that was hard to define, both for Mihaela and for Lance.

"Marquis de Mireval"

"Yes, Duke Myriaga is a Cardmaster of the Magestone rank, above even Platinum. He is also one of the top Cardmasters in the Southern Continent."

For Eleanor, Mi-chaya was more than just a mentor; she was also a close friend. From a young age, Eleanor adored and clung to Duke Mi-chaya.

Now, in Lanchi, one can see the shadow of Miyagaya from his youth. This is also one reason why Anor favors Lanchi so much.

Of course, Meigaya is kind and not as naive as Lance.

"But I'm also sure you're a little different, though. You wouldn't sneak in a big demon like Duke Myriah did, and even end up marrying a demon! You know how surprised His Majesty was when he found out Haha, do you know what my father looked like at that moment"

Eleanor laughed happily again, and told Lance about her experiences at the palace.

"…"

"By the way, Lord Enol, have you been keeping your companions waiting too long"

Lan Qi seemed to have suddenly remembered something, as if trying to change the subject, and asked.

He also glanced at Countess Sophia with purple hair sitting on the couch in the distance.

She was still secretly looking this way.

"!"

Prince Aenor gasped,

"Excuse me, we should head to the meeting area first. Regarding the card maker exam, Sophia might be able to give you some helpful advice."

Upon Lanche's prompting, Eleanor finally remembered that she had left Countess Sophia all alone for far too long.

At once, Anor nodded apologetically towards Sophia, leading Lance and Huberlian in that direction.

Lancy and Huberlian, of course, did not refuse Anor's kindness; there was still plenty of time before the exam.

On her way, Huberly glanced at Sophia and then cast a look at Lance.

Her eyes were full of doubt, as if she were trying to analyze something.

Huberly was both grateful that Ranch had drawn Sophia's fire and worried that Ranch, under Sophia's unwarranted scrutiny, might be hatching some kind of scheme!

……

In the three-story atrium, soaring ceilings and pillar structures create a sense of awe-inspiring openness. Dark wood and textured stone blend together harmoniously.

On one side of the grand foyer, there is a meeting area furnished with a luxurious set of sofas and low coffee tables. Crafted from high-quality materials, their color harmonizes perfectly with the surrounding decor. A few floor lamps beside the tables further enhance the sense of tranquil elegance.

Sophia saw that Prince Aenor was finally back and she no longer stared at them in front of him. Instead, she turned away and sat quietly on the sofa, her hands clasped before her.

As the three of them walked closer down the hallway, Lanche smiled peacefully and suddenly asked Eleanor a question:

"Your Highness Enoli, have you noticed that there is always a most gentle girl by your side who quietly accompanies you and whom you long to see"

At that moment, Sophia on the sofa visibly moved.

She clenched her fists tightly, feeling her ears start to burn.

She both wanted to turn back and glare at Lance for asking such a pointless question, but she didn't dare to look back at Eleanor's face. Her heart was pounding in her chest as she waited for Eleanor's reply.

"No, there isn't."

Prince Eon answered dubiously.

The voice was clear and distinct, with no hesitation whatsoever.

This made Sophia sit on the sofa angrily and stomp her feet twice.

“……”

Lance seemed to not know what to say.

Three people walked to the sofa and prepared to sit down.

Lan Qi wanted to help again, and whispered:

"Then, Your Highness Enol, I think while you're dedicated to the creation and appreciation of art, you should also pay more attention to those around you. Don't let her wait too long."

Originally, Sophia had intended to give Ranchi a death glare and warn him not to talk nonsense. However, her expression gradually softened.

She found that Lanchi seemed to be a really good person, doing his best to help her.

It's just that Arnold is so dense, it's hopeless.

Hubleyan settled comfortably beside Sophia, for Anor and Lance had naturally taken the opposite sofa, as brothers would.

What Sophia and Huberlianne couldn't have imagined.

Prince Eanor suddenly broke into a broad smile.

He grasped Ranchi's shoulders tightly and said earnestly:

"I understand, Lance. You are the irreplaceable treasure of our Heton Kingdom. You mean I should have gone to find you sooner!"

"…"

Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

Ranch was truly speechless, he could only helplessly offer a smile to Sophia and Huberlian who were sitting opposite him.

This smile holds seven parts regret and three parts apology.

He seemed to genuinely want to help her, but he was utterly unable to. After all, Prince Anor completely ignored her, while Ranchi, even without doing anything, had Anor's complete attention in his eyes.

The atmosphere in the entire courtyard seemed to shift subtly at this moment.

Under the silence, a trace of unspoken chill had increased.

This is a harbinger of gunpowder about to smoke, creating a feeling of oppression and tension.

Huberly's eyelids began to twitch.

Lance looked innocent and kind.

But.

This situation, combined with Lan Chi's words and actions, if you imagine Lan Chi as a girl, a strong sense of green tea vibes would come over you!!

Hubley was momentarily completely unable to analyze whether Lance was genuinely trying to help Sophia or if he was perfectly disguising his green tea nature!

The ultimate purity is just like green tea, and the ultimate point of green tea will portray flawless purity. Hubertian once again saw duality in Ranch!

Sofia, at this moment, finds herself in a delicate situation, her state of mind gradually swaying towards the brink of explosion.

From her victim's perspective, she also began to suspect that Lynch was not premeditated after all. He pretended to be innocent and won Eleanor's unconditional trust. In reality, he was just playing with her!

If that were truly the case, this cunning scoundrel might yet exploit her trust and manipulate the innocent Eleanor with ease!

"Lancy, I'm really looking forward to seeing what kind of card you'll make today, and I hope to have the chance to admire your paintings in the future."

After witnessing Lanchi's discerning eye, Aenor became intensely curious to see the level of skill he possessed when painting with his own hand.

"...."

Sophia sat opposite the couch, her head bowed and hands clasped tightly.

Listening to Eleanor's gushing praise for Lance again, as if she were completely smitten with him, her emotions grew increasingly agitated. Finally unable to contain herself any longer, she looked up at Lance and Eleanor and said in a hushed voice:

"Arnold, I am the most talented card maker and painter by your side. You don't need to look up to this person so much!"

Sophia's breath became a little short, she was about to say, "Look at me more!"

"Sophia..."

Eleanor seemed to be flustered as well, her gaze finally shifting from Lance to Sophia.

He was actually mostly just incredibly envious of Lance's aura of effortlessly cool confidence when he was at Demon Academy. He wanted to ask him for advice on "how to be cool".

But for some reason Sophia's reaction was particularly intense, as if a demon were tugging at her heartstrings, making her emotions so strong.

However, Aenor looked at Lance, who also had an innocent and confused expression on his face.

Finally.

Once again, between a woman and his good friend, Enol resolutely chose to stand by his friend's side.

"Sophia, look what you've done to Lance... What if it affects his card-maker exam today He's surely going to be the pillar of our Henton Kingdom!" figures walked along the familiar paths of the school, their footsteps echoing through its depths.The stream by the roadside resembled flowing amber, gently weaving between pebbles and emitting a ple...
