"Trouble..."
Sitting upright in his seat, feeling the gazes coming from all around and the faint hostility contained within them, Chen Heng couldn't help but frown.
Although he didn't know why, Oliman's actions had indeed brought him quite a bit of trouble.
Her previous actions not only didn't make him have the slightest favorable impression but also easily led to bad rumors, which would tarnish Chen Heng's reputation and cause losses to him.
As for having wild thoughts and thinking that the other party liked him or something like that, Chen Heng would never think about such things and would even take the initiative to avoid them.
Unlike what ordinary people might think, for Chen Heng, having some kind of relationship with a princess was the biggest trouble.
In this world, everything has its value. If you want something, you need to pay a certain price in exchange for it.
If Oliman openly offered terms and asked Chen Heng to swear allegiance, Chen Heng might consider it.
But if he got entangled with her and had some kind of relationship, it would mean passively entering her camp.
No matter what exactly happened in the process, by then, Oliman's enemies would undoubtedly subconsciously classify Chen Heng into Oliman's camp.
This was like a passive choice, and moreover, it was the kind of getting something for nothing.
Apart from having some ambiguous stories with Princess Oliman, he wouldn't get anything else.
Some people might be quite interested in this kind of thing. After all, having something happen with a princess and creating some romantic stories was also a rare experience.
But Chen Heng was completely uninterested in it.
A person is just a person.
In Chen Heng's view, aside from all the halos on her, the so-called eldest princess of Kutu was just an ordinary woman, no different from a normal woman in some aspects.
There was nothing special about it.
What's more, he might not be the only one.
The other party was so proficient in using these tricks that she had probably flirted with many people before.
If she treated him like this now, wouldn't she do the same to others in the future?
Looking at Oliman, who was in the middle of the banquet, looking passionate, extremely beautiful, and charming, Chen Heng had a calm expression on his face and shook his head secretly.
After taking a look, he shifted his gaze away from Oliman and didn't look at her again. He just looked straight ahead without turning his eyes, looking to one side.
As time passed, the atmosphere of the banquet gradually became lively.
A group of female dancers were performing exquisite dances to add to the fun.
These female dancers were all very beautiful, with delicate looks and tall figures at first glance. It was obvious that they had been specially selected.
And the dance skirts they wore were also very thin, with some private parts faintly visible. As their dance postures were constantly shown, it gave people a very unique feeling.
Around, looking at these female dancers, quite a number of people were already staring blankly.
When the banquet was in full swing, the smell of alcohol filled the entire hall. Some people let out low laughter, stepped forward casually, hugged a female dancer, and directly pulled her into their arms.
Quite a number of people did this, and Princess Oliman also turned a blind eye to it. She even had a smile on her face, wearing her long dress, and also joined this feast.
Because of her identity, no one dared to treat her like they did the female dancers, but there were many, many people dancing with her.
However, while relaxing, Oliman also shifted some of her attention and secretly watched Chen Heng.
She saw that in the corner, Chen Heng was sitting alone, still sitting there upright at this moment.
At this moment, under the dual influence of alcohol and the environment, most of the others were already in disarray, but he was still sitting upright, sitting there like a straight sword, looking very conspicuous.
He formed a sharp contrast with the people around him.
Oliman couldn't help but be a little surprised. Just as she was about to step forward, she saw on the other side a small figure sneaking forward, walking towards Chen Heng.
This was a young girl who wasn't very old, only fourteen or fifteen years old. Her appearance seemed somewhat similar to Oliman's, but also very different.
Looking at this girl, Oliman was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but shake her head secretly.
"Hello..."
Vinall lifted her skirt and walked up to Chen Heng. Then she summoned up her courage, looked at Chen Heng, and said.
"Do you remember me?"
She summoned up her courage and looked at Chen Heng seriously.
"Is it you?"
Looking at Vinall in front of him, Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, and then he reacted. He showed a smile on his face and said, "What are you doing here?"
"Is there an elder here as a guest?"
He said gently.
Vinall was stunned for a moment, and then quickly nodded.
Standing there, she looked at Chen Heng, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The scene became a bit awkward.
Chen Heng smiled and said, "Anyway, sit down first. Otherwise, it'll be too tiring."
"If you don't mind, just sit here."
He looked at Vinall, with a very gentle expression on his face, like a polite gentleman. With every move he made, it couldn't help but make people feel good about him.
Compared to Vinall, Chen Heng was much better at chatting.
In fact, he had always been like this, very good at talking and also liked communicating.
In just a short while, they started chatting, each talking about some of their own stories, looking very cheerful.
"My hometown is in the south. Every autumn, purple flowers and a kind of wild fruit grow there."
Chen Heng smiled and said, "Next time, if there's a chance, how about I send some to you?"
Vinall smiled and nodded.
"If possible, just leave me your address."
Chen Heng had the same gentle expression on his face as always and said gently, "Next time, when my father's caravan arrives, I'll have someone send them to you."
Vinall's expression hesitated for a moment.
Oliman hadn't said that she couldn't reveal her identity.
However, around her, those who knew her identity would change their attitude towards her. No matter who it was, they would become respectful and cautious, just like when dealing with Oliman.
Subconsciously, she didn't want Chen Heng to become like that.
So in the end, after hesitating for a moment, she said to Chen Heng, "I usually live at Brother Carey's place. If you want to find me, just send things there."
"I see..."
Chen Heng was stunned for a moment, and then smiled again: "Okay."
Vinall didn't know that although she thought she had concealed it well, in fact, by now, Chen Heng had already guessed her real identity pretty accurately.
It wasn't that difficult to guess.
Although there were many nobles in the city of Kutu, there weren't actually that many of the top ones.
Given Chen Heng's character, he had already inquired thoroughly about the information of those people in the city of Kutu long ago.
Among these people, there weren't many who met Vinall's conditions in the first place. It was originally quite easy to guess, but he just didn't have enough information to confirm it immediately.
However, by now, after what happened today, through recent experiences and some information that Vinall inadvertently revealed, Chen Heng had basically guessed her real identity.
Vinall, the younger sister of Princess Oliman and the third in line to inherit the throne of the Kutu Kingdom.你还可以翻译哪些语言?你是如何学习翻译的?翻译的准确性如何保证?翻译帮我写作图像生成AI 搜索AI 阅读学术搜索解题答疑更多
