Chapter 14 Harvey's Anomaly and the Prince's Invitation
"No...Anvis, this is not what I came here for."
But Harvey looked a little strange at this time. He was holding the hem of his robe with both hands, and his expression was at least three parts shy, three parts shy, and two parts hesitant.
"Really? Then why are you looking for me all of a sudden?"
Glancing at Harvey, who was flying alongside him, Anvis spoke calmly.
"That...I..."
But Harvey opened his mouth and twisted the white gloves on his hands that were a little damp from sweat, but he still hesitated about something.
Anvis didn't say anything, just turned his head quietly and looked forward, letting the floating saucer fly to the finish line automatically.
Today, the ninth prince Lan Nuo made a rare invitation to have lunch with him, as if he wanted to see him for something.
Finally, when the two were about to arrive at the top terrace of the Tower Restaurant, Harvey made up his mind.
"Anvis, I seem to be in love!"
"?"
A little suspicious of his own ears, Avis glanced at Harvey strangely.
"You came to me just for this kind of thing?"
Mr. Harvey, do you still remember how many times you have been in love so far?
"I'm sorry, but...Anvis, she gives me a different feeling."
Also aware of his previous style, Harvey opened his mouth, feeling a little unconvincing, but still gave a weak defense.
"I understand, you don't actually care, it's just that your heart is divided into many pieces, and the figure in each piece is unique to you."
Hearing this, Anvis nodded expressionlessly. At the same time, he controlled the floating saucer to land on the platform, and gracefully walked down the air from the floating disk, as if he was stepping on an invisible staircase covered with a red carpet.
"Then, dear Harvey, industrious little bee, bright and blazing flame, why don't you divide one more piece of your heart to accommodate her figure?"
As he said this, Anvis suddenly clenched his fist and smashed his palm, showing an expression of 'sudden realization'.
"Oh! I understand. It turns out that your heart has finally been divided to the level of the cornerstone unit and cannot be divided any further?"
The cornerstone unit is what the magic world conjectures is the smallest unit that constitutes all things. Once an object is divided at this point, it cannot be further divided in any way.
"Hey Avis, I'm serious!"
Listening to Anvis's ruthless ridicule, Harvey, who also jumped off the floating saucer, pursed his lips with a helpless expression.
"Okay - okay - you still have six minutes before I meet with His Royal Highness, Harvey. Now tell me the general story of what happened and how you want me to help you."
After taking out his pocket watch and checking the time, Anvis snapped the engraved secret gold watch cover shut and casually sat down at a dining table on the terrace.
"I knew you would be willing to help me, Avis, my best friend~~"
Singing the last verse in the tone of the opera "The Black Duke", Harvey quickly told what happened before Anvis became impatient.
Recently, Master French created a brand new opera and premiered it at the Gloria Theater. When Harvey went to enjoy the opera, he unexpectedly met a girl in the opera house and fell in love with her at first sight.
.
To put it simply, the overall process is actually no different from Harvey's previous 'falling in love' with other girls.
But what surprised Anvis was that the identity of the other party was not some unattainable noble lady, but a little-known actress.
However, when Harvey, who had had countless girlfriends before, faced her, he behaved like a young boy who was just starting to fall in love. He would instinctively feel nervous just looking at her and could not say a single word of love.
"Now, her figure is all in my heart, she is the goddess of my dreams!
Anvis, you must help me! That is, can you help me create some opportunities so that I can meet her alone by chance."
At this moment, Harvey looked at Anvis with a pleading look, and his gaze reminded the latter of something called a licking dog.
After all, he is only the descendant of a count, and has not even held his coming-of-age ceremony. Even if he has some privileges, they are far from enough to be seen in a place like the imperial capital, let alone that Count Coravin's territory is still in the province of Kalras.
"I can understand your current thoughts, but..."
As he said that, Anvis suddenly stretched out his fingers wrapped in white gloves and placed them on Harvey's forehead. A ring under the glove flashed a flash of light.
Using the cover of the flashing ring, Anvis secretly used his eighth-level mental power and quickly scanned Harvey's body.
There is no malicious magic reaction, and the mental fluctuations are slightly sluggish and divergent, but they are still within the normal range.
"...I'm really sorry, Anvis. I checked it myself before coming here. I was not under any charm magic, nor was my mind confused by the magic potion."
Looking at Anvis's actions, Harvey couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his eye. Of course he knew what his friend was thinking. If the roles were reversed, he would probably also feel that he had been under some spell.
"Sorry, just in case."
Anvis spread his hands. Although he did not directly detect the fluctuations of mental magic and potions, he always felt that this matter was weird.
Falling in love at first sight does happen.
But, that was Harvey.
This authoritative playboy suddenly became devoted and even had no female companions around him. Anvis was very sure that there must be something wrong with this.
If the problem isn't Harvey himself, it's the actress.
"Well, there will be a new opera performance at the Gloria Theater in two days, and the actress you mentioned will probably perform on stage.
At that time, I will go with you and arrange people to create opportunities for you."
After changing his mind, Anvis finally finalized his action plan.
"Oh, Avis! My good friend! I knew you would want to help me!"
Harvey nodded in disbelief, his eyes showing excitement.
As a Pamir student who has been enrolled for several years, he is actually no different from other ordinary students, let alone using family power secretly.
In fact, this is also the portrayal of more than 90% of aristocratic students. At this age, what they have to do is actually improve their personal abilities so that they can manage the family's territory in the future.
What Avis is doing is actually the same as them, but the speed of improvement is slightly faster than them.
After the purpose of the trip was achieved, Harvey left knowingly.
After checking the time again, Anvis put away his pocket watch and walked to the EverGold Box No. 16 inside the Tower Restaurant.
Those who can enter the restaurant area are students with certain abilities, and most of them know Anvis's identity.
Along the way, many students who recognized Anvis nodded to him in a friendly manner.
After responding equally politely one by one, Anvis arrived at his destination and knocked on the door gently.
The door opened, and the faint and refreshing fragrance of silver snow leaves overflowed from the crack in the door. On one side of the long table covered with snow-white tablecloth, His Highness the Ninth Prince had been waiting alone for a long time.
After the two sat down face to face, all kinds of delicacies suddenly appeared on the table. Each dish was filled with strong magical power, indicating its identity as a high-end ingredient.
"Anvis, have you heard about the 'overlapping areas' that have appeared across the empire recently?"
Randomly inserting a piece of thunderbird meat drizzled with sauce, Prince Lanno got straight to the point.
