In the box, Edward White, Alexander Kingsley, and Barrett Scott are playing cards.
Standing nearby are Harry North and Deputy Li.
Sitting in the main seat is Lucas Knight, the big ’ice sculpture’.
Edward White said charmingly, "I can’t strip any more, damn it, if I keep going, I’ll be completely naked!"
Even though he used to play this game with them.
But ever since Ella kissed him, he started feeling a jolt in his heart.
That incident has always been buried deep inside, hidden within him, ready to be forgotten.
"A bet is a bet," Alexander Kingsley said.
"Exactly, exactly! White, if you don’t want to strip, then let the Crown Prince play with us. If you can persuade him, we won’t watch you strip." Just watching the Crown Prince strip is enough!
Barrett Scott and Alexander Kingsley are famously known as gay.
Very interested in men.
At this point, all three of them glance towards Lucas Knight simultaneously, his long, straight legs, military boots, and black wool coat add a touch of abstinent mystery; he’s so eye-catching!
Barrett Scott sidles up to Edward White: "White, got any ideas to get the Crown Prince to play with us?"
Just want to see him strip.
Barrett Scott can’t handle Lucas Knight’s face.
Usually, he’s inseparable from Sebastian Yansford, but these days Sebastian has inexplicably disappeared.
Barrett Scott is feeling quite lonely.
"Your Highness," Alexander Kingsley casts a heated glance, "Your Highness, they want to see you strip!"
Lucas Knight smoking a cigar, glances coldly: "Men, you’re really bold!"
If they weren’t good buddies, he would have them thrown out right now.
This group of men, they’re truly afraid of a peaceful world!
Needs to be punished.
They all look at each other for a while, then burst into laughter:
"Can’t we just play Truth or Dare properly!"
Alexander Kingsley speaks again: "Give it up, His Highness can’t be bent!" The guy even has a little bun, if White and Barrett mess around... Alexander will go get Eva Nightingale right now!
Who knows who’ll end up unlucky then!
Alexander is itching at the thought.
He loves causing trouble the most.
Deputy Li and Harry North exchange glances. These guys are looking to stir up trouble!
Since they’re stirring up trouble, they can only quietly step back.
Who knew, just two steps back, they hear the Crown Prince’s order: "Don’t leave."
Harry North trembles, turning back: "Crown Prince, any other commands?"
"Explain the definition of love to these young masters," Lucas Knight orders in a commanding tone.
"..." Harry North wipes off a cold sweat!
Why does he feel like disaster is looming?
Normally if people ask him what love is, he’d just make something up on the spot.
But he’s never answered this in front of his master.
How would he know what the so-called definition of love is?
Harry North vaguely remembers discussing love with Miss Ella White and Miss Eva Nightingale last time.
Could it be that their conversation was leaked and his master found out? Is he going to be punished?
"Gentlemen, do you know what kind of love definition you’re looking for?"
The Crown Prince’s intention is clearly treating Harry North as "Northopedia".
Alexander Kingsley plays cards and says, "I wonder if Harry has ever been in love?"
"Then Edward must have been, right?"
Edward White’s fingers stiffen. Love, my ass, right now his mind is all tangled up, full of Ella White!
The last time he went to the hospital for a check-up, the doctor said he didn’t have a mental illness.
Edward White, as it stands, doesn’t even dare to go home to sleep, fearing Ella White will sneak into his bed again in the middle of the night.
