Traveling through time, I'm making pancakes in Warhammer

The centerpiece of the banquet

Alex was introducing the new patriarch of the Lyon family to his friends.

Although the Lyon family did not play the secret heir game, Osarino was still too young. According to normal planning, he should have grown up a little longer and would not officially show up as the future heir until he was old enough to ask girls out on a date. Then he would have to wait until he grew a beard and his children could speak before he could inherit the position of patriarch.

Before that, he needed to keep learning, learning etiquette, learning knowledge, and learning how to communicate with the family's inherited machine soul.

But now, due to Cecil's intervention, this process has been greatly shortened, and he has taken over the burden of the family thirty or forty years earlier.

Therefore, most people only know that a prominent knight family in Tessarel has a new leader, but they know nothing about this leader.

"This gentleman is Mr. Senets, the technical director of the Gadro family. His family is a branch that split from the Lyon family three thousand years ago, but the two sides still maintain a long-standing and in-depth cooperative relationship. One-fifth of the parts used to maintain the Lyon family's knight mechas come from the Gadro family's factory." Alex introduced him to Osarino, then leaned down slightly and whispered in Osarino's ear, "I know that the Lyon family's technicians suffered considerable losses in this war. If you hope to quickly master the Lyon family's mechas, the Gadro family will be your help."

Osarino nodded, but did not take any further action. Just as Alex was about to continue speaking, Maglin lowered her head and whispered closer to Osarino's ear:

"Master Osarino, you are now the clan leader, and the other party is just a representative of your family's partner. Your status is higher than his, and he is waiting for your attitude, so you have to show him goodwill, such as a handshake."

Osarino glanced at Alex, who nodded imperceptibly and stood up straight.

Osarino then took the initiative to step forward, extended his left hand to the Gadro family, and said, "Mr. Senez, it is an honor to meet you. I hope that the friendship between our two families will always be strong."

Then, before the other party could reply, Maglin took over from Osarino and said, "Mr. Senez, Mr. Cecil will soon submit a formal request to your family for technical assistance from the Gadro family to the Lyon family. However, please allow me to remind you that if you provide assistance without consultation, even with good intentions, it may disrupt Mr. Cecil's deployment and cause unnecessary trouble."

After being threatened lightly by Maglin, Senez could only respond with an awkward but polite smile.

Alex did not stop Maglin from disrupting the situation and continued to introduce new partners to Osarino, but when he turned around, his arm was accidentally touched by someone, and then the wine spilled from the glass in his hand, just right on himself and Osarino.

"Oh." Alex exclaimed slightly, but immediately turned around and said to the person who touched him, "It's okay, it's just a few drinks, don't be nervous."

Then he said to Osarino: "Forgive my carelessness, Senor Osarino, but I have soiled your beautiful clothes. If you will allow me to remedy this, please let me take you there and clean them up."

This time it was Maglin who answered on behalf of Osarino: "Don't bother you. I brought spare clothes for Master Osarino. Master Osarino, please follow me."

Alex didn't answer, but looked at Osarino.

Alex wanted to be alone with Osarino to avoid Maglin's gaze. Maglin also knew what Alex was thinking. When Maglin and Alex looked at Osarino at the same time, Osarino also understood the trick.

He now needs to make a choice, just like the choice Cecil gave him.

Finally, Osarino gently pushed Margarine's hand away and said, "Don't bother. I'll just wipe the wine stain off."

At this time, Magline could continue to ask to accompany Osarino to deal with it, but she also knew that Osarino would always find a reason to refuse her to go with him, so she did not insist, but there was more worry in her eyes when she looked at Osarino.

Instead, Alex made a "please" gesture to Osarino and said, "Master Osarino, I know where the nearest bathroom is. Please follow me."

Osarino glanced at Maglin and continued walking forward according to Alex's instructions, while Alex followed behind Osarino.

After turning a corner and making sure that Maglin couldn't see him, Alex extended his hand to Osarino and hooked his index finger.

Osarino frowned in confusion.

"Lord Leon, can you take it out now?" Alex looked at Osarino with an expression that said "you know what I mean."

Osarino was still puzzled.

"Then let me remind you further," Alex said, "I don't recommend you keep the thing in your right sleeve hidden. Let me handle it."

"So you know everything!" Osarino's eyes widened and he hid his hands behind his back unconsciously.

"Not only do I know, Cecil knows too," Alex said. "He hinted at you, but you still didn't notice at all. I'm a little disappointed with your performance on this point."

"But you can see that I want to talk to you alone, which is good for someone your age." After criticizing, Alex gave him another carrot.

After hesitating for a moment, Osarino finally handed over the knife. Because he had been holding it for a long time, it was stained with Osarino's sweat and was a little sticky.

Alex wrapped the knife in a handkerchief and put it in his pocket. He said, "Let's just pretend this little cutlery never existed, okay?"

Osarino nodded after hesitation. They had already arrived at the bathroom. Alex found tweezers, cotton balls and stain remover from the box cabinet under the sink and began to help Osarino deal with a small string of wine stains on his clothes.

“If you and Signor Cecil knew about it, why did you let me do this?” Osarino asked.

"I didn't let you do that." Alex replied without even looking up: "I came over to stop you the first time."

"As for Cecil, he's testing you," Alex added.

Osarino: “I don’t understand.”

Alex: "If I hadn't stopped you just now, would you have really done it?"

Osarino opened his mouth as a matter of course, but when he realized that the man in front of him was also a Helvetic man, he swallowed the words that were about to come out of his throat.

Although Alex didn't look at Osarino's face, he knew what the kid was feeling at the moment. He shook his head helplessly and said, "We've come this far. Do you think there's any point in hiding this from me?"

Osarino: “Of course I will.”

Alex: "Are you sure?"

"I!" Osarino was about to say something grandiose, but then he realized that his ability to lie or conceal himself in front of Alex was far from enough, so he lost his temper. "I... I don't know..."
