Is this a good thing for the capital?

Harold gazed silently at the beam of light that peeked through the clouds on the horizon.

Chapter 230 Three Unusual Self-Criticisms

Wayne has written a letter of self-criticism.

Wayne submitted a letter of apology.

Wayne's letter of apology was posted.

This entire process should have been so clear.

Even Wayne was prepared—

When friends ask about it or make fun of you, what kind of expression should you use to appear as if you don't care at all?

However, reality was not at all what he had imagined.

After enduring countless strange looks from people passing by, Wayne finally couldn't help but look up and snap back.

"Excuse me, is there something you'd like to tell me?"

Perhaps because his tone was not very friendly, the boy he called out to immediately looked flustered.

"N-no!"

As the boy said this, he ran away without looking back.

"..."

Wayne smirked and stood up, leaning on the table in an annoyed manner.

Some subtle glances shifted away from him.

Tsk, I know I'm handsome, but I've never been this good-looking before, have I?

Wayne was a little annoyed.

At that moment, Lawrence walked in through the back door.

Like the others who had passed by before, he kept giving Wayne a strange look on his way back to his seat.

Wayne couldn't stand being stared at like he was a monkey.

"Lawrence!"

He walked over in a few steps and slapped him on the shoulder.

“Your eyes seem to be telling me that you have something to say,” Wayne said meaningfully.

Lawrence froze for a second.

"Uh...no, I don't think so."

Just as Wayne was about to accuse him of dishonesty, he changed his tone and added, "But there is one thing I don't know whether I should say or not."

Wayne felt his right eyelid suddenly twitch violently.

"Go ahead and speak."

“That’s right, because you damaged the balcony, didn’t Wayne and the others write a letter of apology?” Lawrence said carefully.

Is it just because of the self-criticism letter?

Could it be that these people find "self-criticism" something novel?

Or were they moved by the extremely sincere content they presented?

While Wayne felt somewhat relieved, he also had an inexplicable, very uneasy feeling.

Am I overthinking it?

"Your letter of self-criticism, along with those two ladies', was posted on the bulletin board."

“Hmm.” Wayne nodded.

Lawrence seemed somewhat puzzled and said, "But your three descriptions of the events..."

"They're all very interesting."

Wayne: ?!

After a moment of shock, he rushed out of the classroom as if he were being haunted by a demon.

When he ran to the bulletin board, a number of students had already gathered there, curiously browsing the three self-criticisms displayed side by side.

"That was really amazing..."

"Who among them is lying?"

"The lives of the great nobles are indeed as chaotic as rumored. You can't tell the real story from the surface at all. It's terrifying..."

They whispered among themselves, discussing the matter.

A very bad feeling rose in Wayne's heart. He walked past these people and saw the posting.

He wrote it himself, of course, that he was punished by the Songstress for speaking ill of the Edgeworth family.

He only gave a very rough account of what happened, without providing many details.

After all, it's a fictional event, and the more you elaborate, the bigger the loopholes become.

However, next to hers, Eve's letter of apology looked very strange.

It not only devotes a great deal of space to describing how Wayne vilifies the Edgeworth family, but even Gothley himself is not spared.

such as:

[Wayne said that the Edgeworth family was trash compared to the Wincher family.]

[Wayne said that Golly Edgeworth was the worst of the worst compared to my dearest Chris.]

[Wayne shouted loudly, "That woman isn't even worth a single hair on Chris's head! She'll always be a loser in Chris's eyes!"]

【…】

It's reached the point where even Wayne himself would want to punch the "Wayne" described by Eve if he saw it.

This... no matter how you look at it, it must be out of her own selfish motives, right?!

How could I possibly say such a thing?

If Eve's account was merely exaggerated, then Gothic's account was even more outrageous.

In her writing, she unnecessarily devoted a great deal of ink to describing how Wayne and Eve conspired and flirted, and even added many fabricated interactions for him.

What does it look like?

Wayne stroked Miss Eve's head and said, "Silly girl, you're so adorably silly."

[Wayne leaned slightly closer to Miss Eve's ear and whispered, "You're actually my favorite person."]

The excuse she gave wasn't that Wayne had spoken disrespectfully to the Edgeworth family, but rather that she had overheard these nauseating conversations and felt sorry for Chris, so she took pity on her and taught that scumbag Wayne a lesson.

Gan!

How is this going? !

Didn't she notice the letter placed by her pillow?

I deliberately used the exquisite envelopes and paper I usually use when we exchange letters, so I should understand what was going on the moment I saw them.

Moreover, one should be quite familiar with one's own handwriting.

Before these self-criticisms could cause a bigger uproar, Wayne immediately tore them all off, crumpled them up, and stuffed them into his pocket.

With a stern face and expressionless expression, he squeezed through the crowd of onlookers who were terrified to see one of the parties involved.

……

"How is this going?"

Wayne finally found Gothley at the Edgeworth family's tea restaurant.

Since it was during class time, there were no other guests here at the moment.

Yes, because Goethe wasn't in the classroom, and even the good student Wayne skipped class.

He spread the three crumpled self-criticisms out in front of her, then sat down opposite her.

Suddenly interrupted from his thoughts, Ge Li turned his gaze from the window and glanced casually at the table.

"As you can see, that's how it is."

she says.

Beside Asley, there was a cup of iced coffee that seemed to have been left untouched; under the sunlight, most of the ice inside had melted.

Fine water droplets slid down the surface of the glass and gathered into a small puddle.

Wayne frowned and said, "You know perfectly well that's not the case. Didn't I already write to tell you that?"

Ge Li smiled faintly and said softly, "Are you referring to the letter I put on my pillow this morning? I didn't read it."

"Why don't you look?" Wayne blurted out.

But the moment he uttered those words, he already had the answer in his heart.

—It's because they don't want to watch it.

The tea restaurant was very quiet, with no one else around. Even the waiter who usually worked there was nowhere to be found.

Across the table, Wayne silently watched Goli's fair face.

It felt as if even their hearts were separated by a considerable distance.

Chapter 231 What a fool!

What exactly do I like about him?

Looking at the green leaves swaying in the wind outside the window, Ge Li pondered silently.

Handsome, gentle, quick-witted, and highly capable?

Both are true to some extent.

But perhaps, besides those common factors, there is more...

What I had always subconsciously ignored and was least willing to admit was my sincerity towards Chris.

Having been classmates for so long, and with him approaching her under the guise of Prince Richard, she inevitably became familiar with him, even though they weren't close at first.

Of course, it was just a self-righteous sense of familiarity.

I used to envy, and even be jealous of, Chris.

Why is she able to live such an easy life?

I don't understand.

Do what you want to do, and get what you want to get.

Including that love, which seemed perfect to almost everyone else, it was as if it fell from the sky and was obtained easily.

But is his love truly perfect?

Oh.

Even he himself was deceived by his act of liking Chris.

—Didn't you say you liked me the most?

The words I heard that day echoed in my mind again.

Ge Li chuckled self-deprecatingly.
