Harry Potter: The Muggle Crown Prince at Hogwarts

Chapter 454 The fate of the Laurel Goddess

After all, under the guise of transforming portable communications for the British Ministry of Magic, Allen has been drawing alchemy manuscripts these days.

He sat in front of the study window, with a half-open drawing board in front of him, and an A3-sized sketch paper sandwiched on it.

His face was calm and focused.

He raised his left hand to hold an eraser and a spare pencil, and his right hand carefully sketched the alchemy circle.

Lance stands behind and to his right, neither blocking his light nor disturbing his painting.

The Knight Commander looked tenderly at his left wrist, which was finally normal. His eyes and brows were raised with joy, and he reported the work in a gentle voice.

"Currently, the pure-blood family is headed by Malfoy, followed by the Nott family.

“Other families are only half-measured, and their market share varies. Large families are still waiting and watching, and some are transferring their assets and planning to leave the UK.

"They are small in size and most of them do not have the ability to transfer their property. Ever since the Malfoys expressed their stance, they have also come to our side."

Lang paused and said, "As for the Greengrass family..."

Allen paused his painting and turned his eyes slightly, "What's wrong?"

The knight commander seemed hesitant.

He frowned slightly and said softly, "Daphne is ill. She is very ill. It was the Greengrass couple who did something to her. They came to visit me and said they could change her heir."

Allen's right hand holding the paintbrush gently dropped, and his left hand was placed on his knee.

His left hand was trembling slightly, and his expression was a little unhappy.

...Did the Greenglasses attack their biological daughter?

Lance knew what he meant and comforted him, "Your Highness, throughout last year, Daphne openly rebelled in front of all the pure-blood families. We saw a lot of quarrels, let alone privately?"

"Greengrass and the others just chose the future of their family."

Alan calmly threw the pen in his hand into the groove of the drawing board.

It seems the couple knows which side to throw their weight behind.

Otherwise, I would never contact Lance again.

They had probably communicated with Daphne a long time ago, but they were all rejected, and those interactions were probably not very pleasant.

That's why I became ruthless and worked hard to get rid of this daughter.

Allen didn't know what to think.

Although he had a share of the credit for this result, but...at most he thought it was sisters Daphne and Astoria who killed each other, but he didn't expect that it was the Greengrass couple who made the first move.

He twisted his lead-stained fingers, stretched out his hand and let Lance clean it for him.

The Knight Commander half knelt on the ground and asked, "Your Highness, do we want to help Daphne?"

Allen lowered his eyes and looked at him, "You can't bear it?"

Lance shook his head slightly and replied, "Daphne has such cruel parents, something will happen sooner or later. We only added fuel to the flames, and we just brought the result forward."

He paused,

"Besides, if we really abandon Daphne and accept Astoria, Greengrass will also be under our control."

Allen took back his hand and sighed softly, "Daphne...the laurel goddess..."

He picked up the brush again, carefully sketched the alchemy formation, and said, "It's time to rush to her destiny."

Lance responded softly.

He knew that His Highness had abandoned Daphne.

In Greek mythology, Daphne was the daughter of the river god who was turned into a laurel tree when she was pursued by Apollo.

And the beginning of all this was because Cupid shot Apollo with an arrow of love in order to retaliate against Apollo, and shot Daphne with a lead arrow of hatred of love.

When Apollo pursues Daphne, he will naturally get resentment.

As for Daphne turning into a laurel tree, that was a completely innocent and pitiful ending...

Look, how much she looks like this Daphne.

Although he had never looked seriously at this girl, at this point, he felt sorry for her.

Unkind parents, mediocre talent, outstanding sister...

It’s just a tragedy superimposed.

Soon, Lance received another invitation from the Greengrass family.

He finally stopped refusing and accepted the invitation to the dinner in the evening.

Greengrass's parents were naturally smiling.Astoria also dressed up for the occasion.

It's just that there is a hint of sadness hidden between this girl's eyebrows, and she seems to be still worried about her sister... I wonder what she would think if she knew that this was a ploy by her parents.

Lance thanked Mr. and Mrs. Greengrass and sat at the head of the guest table.

There was an extremely sumptuous French meal in front of them, but everyone was too drunk to care about the wine.

They moved cups and changed cups, and their words and movements were full of subtle and back-and-forth temptations.

"Knight Commander, I know that you are deeply trusted by His Highness..."

The head of the Greengrass family said so.

"Therefore, I think you must know His Highness's thoughts - you know, our family's domestic affairs are a bit complicated, but recently, Daphne has been seriously ill and is about to die, and we are really..."

Having said this, the man took out his handkerchief and pretended to wipe his tears.

With a constant smile, Lance expressed sympathy on the surface, but in reality said perfunctorily, "You have good intentions, and Merlin will definitely take pity on you."

The head of the Greenglass family nodded and immediately smiled, "But I always feel uneasy not knowing where the family will be in the future."

He looked at Astoria, lovingly and worriedly, and said,

"Look, my daughter Bingxue is smart, but as a father, I can't help but worry about her... What if her sister dies and she is all alone?"

Lance held up the wine glass with a half-smile and said,

"Mr Greengrass, you are joking -

"As we all know, Miss Astoria and young Mr. Malfoy are in love. After graduation, of course Mrs. Malfoy is alone. How can she be alone?"

Greengrass sighed and clinked glasses with him, and said helplessly, "You are still young and high-spirited and have gained His Highness's respect. How could you know the sorrows of lonely people like us?

"Knight Commander, I'm not afraid of your laughter——

"I only have these two daughters. Seeing that Daphne is dying, only Astoria can inherit Greengrass and prevent this family from disappearing into the long river of history."

He sighed deeply,

"To put it bluntly, he is just an incompetent person with some selfish thoughts."
