Chapter: 3578

Western-style banquets have a huge difference from Eastern ones; there are no separate round tables, but instead, a super long table is set up, with over ten exquisite chairs on either side of it.

The number of guests attending this evening's banquet was not many; including Olivia and William's parents, there were barely fewer than twenty people in total.

Most of the guests were close friends of both families, so they had already received an early invitation to stay at the palace a day earlier.

Most of the guests would come to the palace early tomorrow morning to attend the wedding.

Helena was coming with Olivia.

Due to being threatened by Olivia's conditions, Helena's mood had been somewhat anxious and uneasy.

As soon as she arrived at the banquet hall, Helena immediately started looking around for Leaf's shadow because she could only put her heart down when she saw Leaf.

However, Leaf was nowhere to be found in the banquet hall.

Richard, Olivia's father, noticed Helena and immediately smiled, saying, "Helena, you're back!"

Helena looked at Richard, unsure if her grandmother had fallen into a coma, or if her uncle was involved. She was very cautious around this person and so opened her mouth to say, "Uncle Richard, how have you been lately?"

Richard let out a sigh and said, "Apart from my mother's physical condition, everything else is going well."

As they were speaking, Ahmed also walked over, took a glance at Helena, and then approached Richard, bowing to say, "Prince Richard, it's an honor to meet you! I'm Ahmed, very pleased to see you!"

Richard smiled slightly and said, "I've heard of Mr. Ahmed's great name, but today is the first opportunity for us to meet."

As they were speaking, Richard added, "By the way, that Manchester football team you bought, I've always been a big fan. If there's an opportunity, I'd love to go to England and watch a live match!"

Ahmed's face lit up with surprise as he said, "Prince Richard also likes football? If that's the case, I can come to London next week when we have time, because the team has a home game then!"

Richard nodded and said, "If there are no other royal matters, I'd actually be willing to go to London for a short break."

Please let me know if this is correct or if I need any further adjustments!

"Ahmed sighed and said with a self-deprecating smile, 'But the royal family has so many daily affairs that I can't get away from them, so it's likely to wait for another period before taking a break!'"

"Ahmed smiled and said, 'Not at all, we'll enter summer soon, and during the summer games there will be more matches, maybe we can even visit Northern Europe after the new season starts.'"

"Yes," Richard nodded and smiled. "I never thought you and I had so many common topics to discuss. You sit with Ahmed next to me!"

"As he finished speaking, he pointed to two empty seats on his right side and said to Helena, 'Helena, sit with Mr. Ahmed here.'"

"Helena looked embarrassed and said, 'Uncle, I still have a friend from afar who is not familiar with this place, so I'll sit with him instead.'"

Richard spoke blandly, "Are you talking about the person from the Ye family?"

"Yes," Helena replied hastily. "This time it's Ye Feng's nephew, who is also the descendant of the Ye family."

Richard laughed and said, "I still don't understand the Ye family. There are such big things happening at home, but they insist on running to Northern Europe to make fools of themselves." JrNovels.com
