I never thought they would\" another said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"They seldom attend such occasions even with invitations. So it’s a surprise to have them here\" Queen lea observed with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She felt proud knowing they had come to the event of her son. She felt important.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queen lea raised a hand and waved at them with a broad smile, signaling to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adrian and Leo were soon in their company.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s so good to have such noble bodies here with us\" King Edward expressed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s my honour to be here instead\" Adrian smiled \"it is an important thing to celebrate the Prince’s first official royal duty. I had to be here\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queen Lea smiled \"I’m honoured to have you. Indeed my son has achieved something remarkable\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>King Edward looked at Leo \"It’s such an honour to have The Grand duke and the Grand Marquis finally here. I never thought you’d be here\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s say it’s a surprise\" Leo smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I should call my son. He’d be honoured to have you two figures here\" Queen lea turned and signalled prince Lysander.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander already had his eyes on them and knew when they came. He knew of the two figures but he wasn’t too knowledgeable about them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wasn’t one to be too interested in political and noble stuff.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his mother calling, Lysander had no choice but to go and meet them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>*****\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden panicked at the sight of the grand duke and the grand marquis in one scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt his heart jump off his chest as he immediately turned his back. Turning away from them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What the hell are they doing here? How on earth are they here??\" Eden mumbled to himself, panicking.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure they were not supposed to be here! They never came! In the novel they weren’t present at all! So why the hell are they here???\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvis noticed his sudden change \"What are you doing?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden immediately went to Elvis back and had his hand around his waist \"Hide me\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvis stiffened \"What the hell are you doing?\" He questioned, struggling to pull Eden’s hands from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Eden held him tightly \"Hide me. For a minute.. just hide me\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t let Adrian see him. At least not here. It wouldn’t result to anything good at all. He had just managed to escape from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let..go...\" Elvis was still struggling to brush his hands off him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>People around were already staring at them. Considering they were both men, they wondered what on earth they was doing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvis was already feeling awkward \"It’s not like you think... it’s...\" He continued struggling to brush Eden’s hands off him while trying to explain himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>******\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is my lovely son Lysander. Please take him under your guide and teach him more\" Queen Lea introduced to Adrian and Leo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander felt embarrassed on how his mother treated him in front of people as though he was a kid who needed care.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don’t need to introduce him to us My Queen, who doesn’t know your capable young son, The Prince\" Adrian smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queen lea giggled \"I suppose\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She continued \"Soon my son will go deep into Royal Military and Academic studies, I hope the two of you who are well versed in those areas will teach him the best\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. I’ll make sure he becomes the best in his skills when he passes through me\" Adrian assured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo casually smiled \"I’ll do my best\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queen Lea smiled, proud. While Lysander simply stood there almost lifeless without making any contribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The King proceeded in discussing official matters with The Grand duke and Grand marquis for the meantime.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And then, The Grand duke Looked around as he said \"I haven’t seen the crown prince since I came. I wonder if he’s around\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Queen Lea frowned \"Who knows where he has run off to\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lysander looked around, also curious to know where his brother could him. And then he caught sight of Elvis struggling to get someone away from his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He’s there...\" He pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nobles around there turned in Elvis’s direction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all stared at the scene for a while, confused.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s he doing?\" A noble lady asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And who’s that behind him?\" Another asked as they tried to see the person hiding behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king was already embarrassed as he called out to him \"Crown Prince Elvis\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elvis paused and looked in their direction. Their eyes were on him as well as on the hands clearly around his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden knew then people were watching. So he knew he had to run. And he did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eden ran off, holding onto his mask tightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he ran, the eyes of some people followed him. Amongst who were Adrian and Leo.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They watched Eden leave into the inner chamber. Their eyes attentive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was obvious they figured who it was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Embarrassed, Elvis adjusted his clothes as he made his way towards them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You called for me, Father\" Elvis said as soon as he arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The king casually stared at him with a frown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Brother, who was that?\" Prince Lysander asked, curious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eyes were on Elvis now. He felt awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s nothing. It’s just some mad man who made his way in here. I was trying to send him away, he got aggressive\" Elvis explained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so? Are you Okay then? I hope you didn’t get hurt by him\" Lysander inquired.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t worry. I’m fine\" Elvis nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Leo didn’t seem satisfied with the reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He asked \"Is that so? Are you sure it’s a mad man? Because you two look too intimate to seem as though you were actually chasing him away..\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo’s eyes had now locked with Elvis’s.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Leo smiled as he continued \"As a matter of fact, I actually did find the figure a bit familiar\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1048,"2026-06-06T12:26:44.149Z",1,"novelbin.me","fc656f4f63f02ebb4d9c1978a16c0eb2871e9b06ce2263791eb32ebe869f196d","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-155","bl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-chapter-154",400,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbl-seducing-male-leads-to-survive-as-a-villain-i-cover.jpg"]
