Chapter 45 - Conjecture

“So troublesome…” Sensing the gazes around him, some of which contained hostility, Chen Heng could not help but frown.

For some reason, Olivia’s actions made him feel that things would become quite troublesome.

Olivia’s actions were not filled with any goodwill towards him, and they instead could cause bad rumors and decrease his reputation.

As for fantasies that Olivia liked him, Chen Heng would not even consider such a thing and avoided such thinking.

Different to what other people would think, to Chen Heng, having a relationship with the Crown Princess would be incredibly troublesome.

In this world, everything had a price. Whatever you wanted, as long as you could pay the price, you could have it.

If Olivia directly offered a price for Chen Heng to swear his loyalty to her, perhaps Chen Heng would think about it.

However, if there was any relationship or entanglement between them, he would be listed as part of her faction anyways.

No matter what the situation was actually like, Olivia’s enemies would naturally categorize Chen Heng as part of her faction.

When that time came, he would be in a very passive situation and have to join her faction for free.

Apart from having some stories about him having some kind of relationship with Princess Olivia, he would not gain anything else.

Perhaps some people would be interested in such a thing, to have a relationship with the Crown Princess; after all, it sounded quite romantic and exciting.

However, Chen Heng did not feel this way at all.

People were just people.

From how Chen Heng saw it, apart from her status, the so-called Crown Princess was just an ordinary woman, and there was not much different between her and another woman.

She wasn’t all that amazing.

Moreover, he might not be the only one.

For Olivia to act like this, she had most likely done this to many people before in the past.

If she could treat him like this, would she treat others like this in the future?

Looking at the extremely beautiful and passionate Olivia at the center of the banquet, Chen Heng’s gaze was calm as he inwardly shook his head.

After glancing at her for a moment, he looked away and no longer looked at her.

As time passed, the atmosphere in the banquet became more and more enthusiastic.

A group of dancers showed off their exquisite dancing skills, further bolstering the mood.

These dancers were all very pretty, tall, and slim; it was evident that they had been especially chosen.

The dresses they wore were very thin, and certain parts of their bodies could occasionally be seen. Adding on their various dance moves, they gave off a very unique feeling.

All around, many people were staring at these dancers.

As the banquet continued, the smell of alcohol began to fill the hall, and some people laughed and casually brought dancers into their embraces.

There were many people who did this, and Princess Olivia turned a blind eye to this, and she sometimes even smiled as she joined in the dance.

Because of her status, no one dared to treat her like an ordinary dancer, but there were many who invited her to dance together.

However, while she did so, she would also keep an eye on Chen Heng.

Chen Heng was still sitting in the corner by himself, with a perfectly straight posture.

Because of the alcohol and the environment, most people’s clothes were quite disorderly, but he still sat with perfect posture like a straight sword, and he was very eye-catching.

He was a perfect contrast to the rest of the crowd.

Olivia could not help but feel quite surprised. Just as she was about to walk over, she saw a little figure sneak towards Chen Heng.

This girl was only around 15 years old and looked somewhat similar to Olivia, but there were also big differences between them.

Looking at that girl, Olivia was surprised and inwardly shook her head.

“H-Hello…”

Verna came before Chen Heng and mustered up her courage as she looked at Chen Heng and said.

“Do you still remember me?” she asked as she looked at Chen Heng earnestly.

“It’s you?” Looking at Verna, Chen Heng was a bit surprised but quickly came back to his senses.

He gave a slight smile and asked, “Why are you here? Is one of your seniors a guest here?” He asked softly.

Verna stared for a moment before hurriedly nodding.

Standing there and looking at Chen Heng, she did not know what to say.

The scene became a bit awkward.

Chen Heng smiled and said, “Would you like to have a seat? It’d be quite tiring to keep standing. If you don’t mind, you can sit next to me.”

He looked at Verna with a gentle expression, looking like a courteous gentleman. All of his actions could make those around him feel favorably towards him.

Compared to Verna, Chen Heng was much better at making conversation.

In actuality, he had always been like this, being quite good at making conversation.

Very soon, they began to freely chat, and each of them told the other their stories, seeming quite happy.

“My family comes from the south. Every autumn, there will be beautiful violet flowers there, as well as some delicious fruits,” Chen Heng smiled, “In the future, if we have the opportunity, would you like me to give you some?”

Verna smiled and nodded.

“Can you give me your address then?”

Chen Heng’s expression was just as warm, and he said softly, “Next time my father’s carriages arrive, I’ll have some people send some over for you.”

Verna hesitated.

Olivia did not say that she could not tell Chen Heng of her identity.

It was just that those who knew of her identity would change their attitude towards her. No matter who it was, they would become incredibly courteous and wary, like how they treated Olivia.

She did not want Chen Heng to become like that.

As such, she hesitated and said, “I normally live at big brother Kelly’s residence. If you want to send anything to me, you can just deliver it there.”

“I see…” Chen Heng looked a bit surprised before smiling, “Very well.”

Verna did not know, but even though she felt that she had covered it quite well, Chen Heng was already quite sure about her identity.

After all, it was not that difficult to guess.

Even though there were many nobles in the Kutu Royal City, there were not many top-tier nobles.

With Chen Heng’s personality, he had long since investigated those people in the Kutu Royal City and knew much about them.

Of those people, there were very few people similar to Verna. It was already quite easy to guess, but it was just that Chen Heng did not have enough information to come to a solid conclusion.

However, after everything that had happened, as well as some information from Verna herself, Chen Heng could essentially guess at her real identity.

She was Princess Olivia’s little sister, the third in line to the throne, Verna.
