Chapter 96
Who didn’t accept it, I don’t know, but I will know clearly who did
Sherisa Noel personally selected a suit for Henry.
She dressed Henry up to look refined and scholarly, exactly according to her own style, so much so that even Henry himself sighed upon seeing his reflection, thinking he looked like a refined scoundrel.
However, when Henry went to pay, Sherisa pressed the bank card back into his hand.
“It’s just a change of clothes for you, why take money?”
“Really no charge? It’s not easy for you to earn money either…”
Henry’s words sounded sowhat lacking in confidence.
Mainly because he simply couldn’t think of anyone wealthier than the Noel Family.
“Alright, alright, why always fuss over these things? When the ti cos that I need you to repay , I’ll tell you.”
Sherisa straightened Henry’s collar, acting as familiarly as a wife.
“Oh, Henry, my father will be returning soon. You’ll co et him then, right?”
Sherisa moved closer to Henry, blinking at him.
Henry thought to himself, so this is where Sherisa was laying her trap; no wonder she wasn’t taking a loss.
But regarding Sherisa’s father, Henry didn’t know much.
He only knew the other party was very rich, so rich that their family’s businesses extended beyond the Empire.
This kind of business talent alone was sothing ordinary people couldn’t match.
And Sherisa’s father marrying Reina was simply a union of powerful families, though Henry wasn’t sure just what the relationship between these two was like.
Henry had never heard Reina ntion her husband.
But looking at Sherisa’s expression, Henry didn’t get the feeling he was a difficult person to get along with.
Too much ssy information just makes one irritable.
Henry didn’t dwell on it too much; it was just a eting after all.
It ant he still had a chance to score a free lavish al, so why not?
“Fine, just notify when the ti cos.”
“Oh, right. Mother told to tell you that you must return to class, otherwise you’ll risk being held back this sester due to insufficient attendance.”
Good heavens, who would have thought that even in this world he’d face the risk of being held back?
Henry even began to doubt whether his initial decision to stay had been the right one.
But the mont he thought of Mada Reina’s angry expression, Henry couldn’t help but shudder.
The key point was that woman would hit without hesitation, showing him no rcy at all!
He must get back at her in the future, by ruthlessly seducing her daughter!
anwhile, Reina, who was still at ho leisurely drinking coffee, suddenly sneezed.
She frowned slightly, her expression not too good.
Why sneeze for no reason? Could it be that guy thinking about ? But now that I ntion it, why hasn’t he co ho for so long? Did he get too few spankings before going out, has he forgotten the lesson?”
Reina looked at the clock on the wall, as if counting down the days for soone.
She snorted coldly and picked up her coffee from the table again.
anwhile, after Henry bid farewell to Sherisa, he bought so fruit and small gifts from the street vendors.
As expected, the shopkeepers on the street didn’t take Henry’s money; instead, they stuffed red envelopes into his pockets.
Their reasoning was that the Noel Family had reduced rents early on and brought in a large number of outsiders to trade, which kept their businesses alive. These red envelopes were just a small token of their appreciation.
And according to Sherisa’s saying:
“Who didn’t accept it, I don’t know, but I will know clearly who did.”
Now these words were indeed being proven true, though this kind of behavior felt a bit like they were trying to curry favor with him.
He mustn’t let this phenonon affect his judgnt!
Henry pocketed the red envelopes and strode purposefully towards the palace.

Roger knocked on the study door.
“Your Highness, I’ve brought you a al. Please eat sothing.”
“Mm, just leave it by the door.”
Jessica’s voice ca from inside promptly.
But Roger stood at the door, his expression sowhat helpless.
Ever since the death of His Majesty the King, Crown Princess Jessica had begun taking over the governance of the Empire.
Actually, at her age, she shouldn’t have to face all of this so soon.
But after the passing of both parents, as the most legitimate heir to the Empire, Jessica had to face these tedious affairs alone.
Precisely because of this, she had been staying in her room for a very long ti.
Roger was worried about Jessica’s health, afraid she might collapse from overwork.
But Jessica wouldn’t listen to anyone’s advice, insisting on facing everything herself.
“Then you must eat it while it’s hot, otherwise it’s not good for your health.”
No more sound ca from the room.
Roger shook his head and walked towards the courtyard.
But on the way, he t Ronny and another young man.
He recognized him; it was Crown Princess Jessica’s classmate, the Rulter Family’s castoff, Henry.
At this mont, Henry was chatting and laughing with Ronny, not seeming as detestable as the rumors made him out to be.
“So, you’re still the leader of the Royal Knights?”
“Yes, Crown Princess Jessica asked to return to this position. This is her trust in , and I will not fail her expectations!”
Ronny said this with great sincerity, sounding full of conviction.
If Jessica hadn’t allowed him to resu his post as a Royal Knight, he didn’t know what he would do with himself later.
“This just shows that Jessica believes in your ability. Keep it up!”
“However, I rember you, Lord Henry, should be studying at Saint Nad Magic Academy, right? Your future achievents will surely be great!”
Ronny actually wanted to study at Saint Nad Magic Academy too, but back then he lacked the talent and couldn’t get in.
Therefore, he held Henry in high esteem.
“Don’t say such things. Let’s have a al together soti!”
Henry felt that if Ronny kept praising him, his nose would be sticking up to the sky.
The two chatted and laughed, showing no signs of any previous estrangent.
“Ronny, what are you doing here?”
Roger called out, and Ronny quickly noticed Roger’s presence.
“Lord Henry wanted to enter the palace to see Her Highness the Princess, so I let him in.”
“This… Did Her Highness the Princess agree?”
“Yes, Her Highness the Princess said that if Lord Henry wants to see her, he should be allowed straight in.”
Ronny’s words surprised Roger sowhat.
The aning of these words was nothing less than Henry being the person Jessica trusted most.
That’s why Henry could move about the palace freely!
Thinking of this, Roger felt a surge of joy.
He quickly walked up to Henry, excitedly grabbing his hand, and said.
“Lord Henry, I have an important matter to ask of you!”
Looking at his tightly grasped hand, Henry was sowhat taken aback.
Although he had no interest in n, Roger seed quite agitated. Had sothing happened?
And seeing Roger’s actions, Ronny couldn’t help but rebuke him.
“Roger, let go of his hand! You’re scaring Lord Henry!”
Being called Lord left and right made Henry feel light-headed all over.
“It’s fine, it’s fine, let him speak.”
“The matter is like this…”
