A banquet like this almost inevitably entails extravagance and waste.
But for her to say so suggests she retains such habits in daily life.
Louis shook his head, drained the wine from the glass in one gulp, and placed the empty glass onto the waiter's tray:
"This way, it won't be wasted."
...
After the banquet, Louis and the little swan boarded Olivia's carriage.
In the carriage, Olivia watched the two warily.
"Why are we heading to Sister Wang's place?"
Louis blinked and said:
"You mentioned you wanted to talk to me, and it's not wise for me to meet you privately, what if people overthink it?"
Olivia looked disgusted:
"Who would overthink? Lumi is with us!"
Louis didn't respond.
He couldn't possibly tell the little swan that she and the black swan shared a brain, and being too close might affect the black swan's thoughts, right?
So he flashed a sly smile:
"No choice, after chatting with you, I plan to send you away and monopolize my Beatrice alone."
