Chapter 2507
The First Heir
Philip smiled helplessly and shrugged. Moses also shook his head with a faint smile. As for Vivi, she
burst into laughter and could only stop after a long while.
Then, she sneakily leaned close to Philip and whispered in his ear, âPhilip, youâre such a bad person.â
Philip jolted, glared at Vivi, and said, âIâm a married man. Donât get so close to me. It might cause
misunderstandings.â
Vivi rolled her eyes at him, snorted, and muttered, âSuch a boring old man. Iâm going to ignore you! You
can simp after your wife forever!â
Philip shook his head inwardly before turning his attention to Louis XXVI.
This guy was very haughty, indeed.
On this side, when Steven was still in glee after repeating that he was a lapdog, Moses said, âSteven, if
you want to pursue Alice, I suggest that you declare yourself as a lapdog in front of everyone and
express your love for Alice bravely! Isnât it true that Westerners like you advocate the freedom of love
and are willing to sacrifice for love? I believe in you, Steven!â
Hearing this, Steven turned his head sideways and looked at Moses with wide eyes. He asked, âWhy?â
Moses explained, âJust think about it. If you express your love for Alice in front of so many people, itâll
be seen as an act of bravery. Youâll be seen as a real man in the eyes of Western women! I think Alice
will definitely be moved!â
Steven was silent for a moment.
Philip turned his head and rolled his eyes at Moses, signaling him not to mess things up. He was just
about to persuade Steven that Moses was only playing a trick on him when Steven seemed to see the
light at the end of the tunnel. His face was full of excitement as he said, âYoung Master Dunley, youâre
right! I want to be brave! I want to do this for love!â
After saying that, Steven stood up abruptly!
His action attracted the attention of many people in the inner hall. Even Louis XXVI and Alice Elizabeth
focused their attention on him.
Seeing Aliceâs gaze on him steeled Stevenâs might for his next action. In front of everyone, Steven
walked up to Alice and bowed.
Alice returned the curtsy.
Louis XXVI, on the other hand, was irritated and glared at Steven. He said solemnly, âSteven, what are
you doing?â
Steven adjusted his suit and glanced at Louis XXVI coldly. He then looked at Alice sincerely and said,
âAlice, Iâm your faithful suitor, your lapdog. I love you and want to express my admiration for you.
Although I know that you have little interest in me, I wonât give up. As long as youâre not married to
Louis, Iâll keep courting you! Iâll use my actions to prove that Iâm more suitable for you than Louis XXVI!
Iâll also ask my father to meet with the Queen and ask for your hand in marriage!â
