Philip said uncannily, “I’m not interested in the disputes between the royal family and the nobles of
Country Y. In my dealing with the Smith family, I just want to get what I want. I won’t get involved in
anything else. Of course, if I accidentally offend the so-called Louis XXVI, it can’t be helped. As long as
he doesn’t mess with me, I’ll still be an easygoing person to talk to.”
Moses looked sideways at Philip earnestly and said, “This is the first time I’ve seen someone twist the
facts around like that. If you’re an easy-going person, there wouldn’t be so many families and
businesses going bankrupt in this world.”
While they were talking, Steven seemed to be hesitating. After thinking about it, he got up and asked
his subordinates to arrange his seat next to Philip.
“Mr. Clarke, I hope you don‘t mind if I sit here with you.” Steven smiled cordially.
Philip glanced sideways and shook his head without saying anything.
Moses said, “Steven, if you lower your status like this and sit with us, I’m afraid it’ll cause
misunderstandings.”
Steven glanced at Moses and said with a smile, “Young Master Dunley, it’s been a long time since I
saw you. Our last cooperation was quite a pleasant experience.”
Moses nodded and smiled.
Steven continued, “It’s the same no matter where I sit. It’s mainly because I have something to say to
Mr. Clarke.”
Moses chuckled, raised his chin, and said, “So, you have an ulterior motive. Are you worried about
Louis XXVI?”
Steven’s face darkened as he said, “He’s just a hereditary duke. I’m not worried about him.”
Moses shrugged and did not continue.
Another commotion was heard at the door of the inner hall. This time, it was a woman wearing a
princess dress. A hat with black lace covered her face. She wore an elegant white royal evening dress
and had pure white gauze gloves on her hands. On her feet were high heels, and as she walked, she
was followed by two maids with good figures. From a distance, this woman looked very classy and had
a good figure. Her appearance exuded a sense of innate nobility.
“It‘s Alice Elizabeth! The Queen’s favorite little princess!”
“Oh, she’s so beautiful like an angel! How could she be so beautiful?”
“Oh, noble Alice! She’s the angel God sent down to save me!”
A group of men of varying ages was all excited and thrilled to see Alice Elizabeth at this moment!
She was simply too beautiful!
Alice walked to Louis XXVI’s side, and the two kissed on the cheeks in Western etiquette before Alice
sat next to him. The appearance of this golden couple really enlivened the atmosphere in the inner hall.
It seemed that the news that Louis XXVI and Alice would soon marry was not false.
At this moment, Steven saw that Louis XXVI and Alice were holding hands and talking intimately.
Gloom flashed in his eyes as he clenched his fists tightly.
Philip noticed the shift in Steven’s mood and asked, “Do you hate Louis XXVI?”
Moses smiled and said, “Young Master Clarke, Steven is Alice’s faithful lapdog, but unfortunately, she
didn’t take a fancy to him. He and Louis XXVI are love rivals, the kinds who fight whenever they meet
each other. You see, Louis XXVI is showing off to him.”
Philip came to a sudden realization and glanced at the haughty Louis XXVI over there who stole a
glance at Steven with a smug, gloating look.
Steven was so annoyed that he simply turned his head away and asked, “What do you mean by
lapdog?”
This question stumped Philip and Moses.
Vivi Joo also pursed her lips and smiled on the side. Philip thought for a while and explained, “Oh, this
is a complimentary term in the East. It praises the other party’s kindness, perseverance, hard work
without asking anything in return, constant but silent giving, and noble character.”
With that said, Philip also gave Steven a thumbs up and a nod of approval.
When Steven heard it, his eyes twinkled as he said happily, “I see. l’m a lapdog.”
