Chapter 782 Everyone Is Wrong

The second young master lost all color on his face after hearing this, his legs softened and he knelt on the ground, his mouth opened and closed, wanting to beg for mercy, but he had no strength in his body.

In response, Fujita Kagami Shiro asked his followers to clean up the broken plates and cups on the ground immediately, and then take his own embarrassing things away, so as not to disturb Yang Hui's interest here.

After tasting the new cake and coffee made by the store manager, Yang Hui paid the money with satisfaction and left with Fujita Kagami Shiro. Before leaving, he also comforted the store manager who was a little worried. After all, the noble young master he was afraid of should disappear tomorrow, and the Juris family would not risk offending Yang Hui and embarrass a civilian boss.

After visiting the familiar stores one by one, Yang Hui and Fujita Kagami Shiro came to Central Park with large and small bags and sat down.

"I'll take you to the palace later to meet Darlene and Xiaozhi." Yang Hui said to Fujita Kagami Shiro.

"But Your Highness, my identity..." Fujido Kagami Shiro was a little embarrassed. He really missed Darlene and Xiaozhi. He had been in contact with them by phone or letter for many years, but he had never had the opportunity to meet them.

But Fujido Kagami Shiro's identity was still confidential. Although those who were interested could see through his disguise, as long as it was not exposed publicly, everyone knew it and did not violate the unspoken rules. Therefore, if Fujido Kagami Shiro met Darlene and Xiaozhi, it would be considered to have disclosed his true identity.

"Originally, there was no need to hide it." Yang Hui said calmly, "At the beginning, I concealed your identity because I considered that [ELEVEN] had not been taken down yet, and your identity might cause a lot of trouble, but now [ELEVEN] has completely stabilized. After several years of baptism, [ELEVEN] has almost recovered its heart, and..."

Yang Hui paused, and then said: "Don't overestimate people's memory. I guess few people still remember Fujido Kagami Shiro, the [Samurai Born in the Wrong Era]."

"...Everything will be arranged by Your Highness."

"Well, take it." Yang Hui handed the bags in his hand to Fujido Kagami Shiro.

"Your Highness, what is this?" Fujita Kagami asked in confusion.

"A gift." Yang Hui rolled his eyes in annoyance, "I haven't seen you for so many years, and you don't bring me some gifts? Are you still my husband and father?"

"Uh... ahem." Fujita Kagami was embarrassed, lowered his head and didn't speak, and with the help of the mask, people couldn't see his expression.

"Let's go, we have seen all the interesting places, and there is no need to go to other places..."

Just when Yang Hui was about to take Fujita Kagami back home, a luxury car stopped in front of Yang Hui and Fujita Kagami, the door opened, and an elegant and serious butler came down and bowed: "It's been a long time since I last saw you, Your Highness Yang Hui."

"Albede, it's been a long time since we last met."

Yang Hui knew the butler in front of him. He was Schneizel's butler, an excellent butler who handled the daily affairs of Schneizel's family in an orderly manner without any mistakes.

"Your Highness Yang Hui, Your Highness Schneizel invites you to attend the family dinner at the Second Prince's residence tonight."

"Family dinner?" Yang Hui was stunned for a moment. He expected Schneizel to meet him, but he didn't expect Schneizel to use the reason of "family dinner". Yang Hui couldn't refuse. "Haha, Schneizel still hasn't changed. Tell Schneizel that I will attend the dinner as promised."

"Yes, your highness." The butler got Yang Hui's reply, bowed again, and got in the car to leave.

"Your Highness, I will go with you tonight."

Toudou Jingshiro had no interest in the high-level game in Bunitaliya, but he had been with Yang Hui for so many years, and even if he just listened, he knew a lot of things.

For example, the top level of Bunitaliya was divided into three forces. One was the triangular alliance of Yang Hui, Cornelia and Clovis, the second was the prince's party headed by Odiseus, and the third was the prime minister's party led by Schneizel. The three forces were fighting around the supreme imperial power of the Holy Bunital Empire.

Of course, this is just what most people think. Fujitang Jingshilang knows very well that Yang Hui's eyes have never fallen on the throne. His eyes have gone beyond the imperial power and look at higher and farther places.

However, even so, the people below are still fighting with great pleasure, so Yang Hui is going to the Schneizel Mansion for a banquet, and Fujitang Jingshilang must follow him to prevent anyone from harming Yang Hui.

"Yeah." Yang Hui nodded in agreement and gave Fujitang Jingshilang a relaxed smile. He did not think that he would encounter danger at the banquet tonight, but with Fujitang Jingshilang's character, he could not persuade him on the duty of guarding, so he agreed without much talk.

...

The sun was setting in the west, and the blood-red afterglow of the sun slowly withdrew from the earth. The bright sky gradually dimmed, and the lights of thousands of houses began to shine, which was also a signal that the family banquet was about to begin.

"I haven't been here for many years." Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar mansion, Yang Hui couldn't help but sigh. In the past twenty years, he has been here only a few times. The last time he came here was more than ten years ago. Especially recalling the conversation with Schneizel that year, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"Waiting for your arrival, Your Highness Yang Hui, the family dinner is ready, please follow me, Your Highness Yang Hui." The butler walked out of the door to greet him.

"Lead the way."

"Yes, your highness."

Under the guidance of the butler, Yang Hui and Fujido Kagami Shiro walked through corridors and came to the restaurant behind the main building. This made Yang Hui confirm that tonight's family dinner was not an excuse made by Schneizel, but a real family dinner.

Because of Schneizel's habit, the restaurant and banquet hall in the main building are used to receive guests, so they are gorgeous and rich, while the restaurant behind the main building is simple and plain, but with a touch of warmth, which is the environment that a family dinner should have.

"Long time no see, Yang Hui."

Schneizel stood at the door of the restaurant waiting for Yang Hui, still with an elegant smile, standing straight, and the temperament of a superior as the prime minister of the empire was fully revealed, but...

Yang Hui knew that everything Schneizel showed was hypocritical, not what he wanted, these were all false masks he put on himself to meet the needs of the people around him, and under the hypocritical mask, it was still so empty.

"Long time no see, Schneizel."

"Come in, it's just you and me today."

"That's great." Yang Hui raised his lips, turned his head and told Fujido Kagamishiro behind him: "Wait for me at the door."

"Yes, your highness." Fujido Kagamishiro knew that there were some things that he couldn't let himself know.

After entering the restaurant, Yang Hui and Schneizel didn't say anything polite, they just found their seats and sat down. The moment the door closed, they began to quietly enjoy the food on the table, with only the sound of tableware colliding and food swallowing, which continued until the end of the meal.

"To be honest, I was quite surprised that your mother didn't show up." Yang Hui shook the red wine glass in his hand and said to Schneizel.

"My mother wanted to attend." Schneizel also held a glass of red wine in his hand and said to Yang Hui with an elegant smile, "But I refused. If she was there, you wouldn't stay."

"Should I sigh that you understand me? Or should I praise you for finally changing a little?" Yang Hui asked with a smile. Schneizel is a standard good boy. Everything he does and behaves is what people around him expect. The biggest influence on him is his mother, which also makes him a mama's boy in a sense. He will agree to his mother's request.

But this time, he was uncharacteristic and refused his mother's request, which surprised Yang Hui.

"If you like, you can do both at the same time."

"Haha, so I don't like talking to you, Schneizel." Yang Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head. He found that Schneizel did change a little, but it was really just a little bit.

"I'm really sorry, Yang Hui. Change is really hard."

"I agree with that. Then..." Yang Hui paused, drank the red wine in the glass in one gulp, opened his eyes again, and looked serious and solemn, "Why did you ask me to come?"

"Can't it really be a family dinner? After all, you are my brother, and we haven't seen each other for many years..."

"Do you think I believe it?"

"You believe it, so you came."

"...Is this the hope you have been looking for?" Yang Hui was silent for a moment and asked Schneizel.

"..."

"Your favorite saying is, 'Everyone is looking for hope'. I always think it's a great irony to hear this saying from you, because you have never looked for your own hope, but now..." At this point, Yang Hui shook his head, and a sense of frustration flashed across his face, "...Everyone has misjudged you, and I have misjudged you. You...have always had hope, but you just hid it very deeply, right?"

"...Yes." The elegant smile on Schneizel's face disappeared, replaced by a bitter smile, melancholy, loneliness, but...incredibly real, which made him look like a real human being.

"More than a decade ago, when we last met, you had the opportunity to embrace the hope you wanted."

"Yes." Schneizel raised his head and looked up at the ceiling.

His thoughts went back to more than a decade ago, or even longer ago. As the second brother, he should have taken on the responsibility of taking care of his younger brothers and sisters, but at the request of his mother, he was busy with various courses, and in front of him were only the constantly changing teachers, which gradually eroded his own heart.

Only when the course was over, when he passed by the cold palace and saw his brothers and sisters playing happily, could his heart be mended.

He had thought, why can't he play like them? Why should he take various courses without stopping? Why must he be better than others?

But these doubts were buried in compromise and retreat again and again, and he became the current Schneizel, the saint who only meets the expectations of others.

More than a decade ago, Yang Hui went to see Schneizel for the last time as a younger brother and asked him: "Have you never thought about yourself?"

At that time, Schneizel did not answer Yang Hui directly, but just smiled slightly. Yang Hui subconsciously thought that Schneizel's answer was no, and missed the bitterness and desire under the smile.
