Chapter 707 Sister-in-law’s night talk
Just when Melanie was being blackmailed due to her momentary negligence and had to reluctantly give out dividends, Princess Veronica had already changed out of her wedding dress and pulled Anna back to her room, who had changed into regular clothes.
After taking off the gorgeous but cumbersome heavy wedding dress, most of Princess Veronica's energy flew away at once. After reluctantly changing into pajamas with the help of the maid, she threw herself directly on her breasts. on the bed.
"Finally it's all done..."
After burying her face in the mattress and lamenting, Princess Veronica turned sideways and waved to the somewhat reserved Anna with a smile.
"Come on, come on! There is only one last step left. As long as you sleep with me through the night, I will be a member of your Ryan family tomorrow."
"Sister Veronica!"
Anna's cheeks turned red at the princess's ambiguous words. Anna, who was very weak-tempered except for education issues, couldn't help but quickly shook her head and refused with a blushing face:
"No need, I'll just sleep on the sofa..."
"Ouch! Come on!"
After patting the vacant space beside her, Princess Veronica said with a hint of anger:
"Why do you like to sleep on my sofa just like Leon? Do you have to force me to move the sofa out?"
"I……"
"Stop me and come here quickly!"
After stepping on the carpet in the room with her bare feet, she ran over and pulled Anna over. Princess Veronica hugged her and smiled:
"I know you are not used to it, but on the day before the wedding, it is part of the entire wedding process for the groom's female family members to accompany you to bed. If you don't sleep with me for a night today, tomorrow's wedding will not be easy~"
"oops!"
After falling on the soft big bed, Anna, who was hugged tightly by the princess, twisted her body twice. She found that she couldn't move away, so she couldn't help but complained in shame:
"Isn't this process too strange? You are obviously getting married, why do you want me to accompany you?"
Why do I need you to accompany me during the wedding process? Of course it is to help your brother with the checkup~
Looking at Anna who was blushing all the way to her neck with embarrassment, Princess Veronica couldn't help but smile, but she didn't open her mouth to explain.
For some special reasons, the purity of blood is very important to the royal families of various countries. However, before the Kingdom of Korok invented an instrument that uses blood to detect kinship, there was always a lack of testing methods in this area.
Therefore, on the eve of most weddings, the woman will find the man's female elders to accompany her in bed, and then... conduct some relatively primitive inspections to ensure that the "purity" of the bloodline is maintained.
Although this kind of inspection is no longer necessary now, as an ancient tradition that has been maintained for hundreds of thousands of years, the custom of having the groom's female family members accompany him to bed on the eve of the wedding has been retained as part of the process...
Hmm... It's a pity that if the person I'm holding is Leon, I can tell him this old tradition to tease him, but now the person on my bed is Anna, it's better not to say it, otherwise it will hurt my face. If she ran away in shame, she would have to sit on the wax.
…
"I don't know why either."
After telling a little lie casually, Princess Veronica hugged Anna into her arms, buried her head next to her neck, smelled someone's same type of detergent, and then said in a warm voice with a relaxed look on her face. :
"The kingdom has existed for so many years, and it has been replaced by countless kings. If anyone leaves some request, it may be regarded as a tradition that has been passed down for hundreds of years... But this tradition is not bad."
"Don't! Don't move! Ouch!"
Seeing the princess burying her head next to her neck and sucking fiercely like a female gangster, Anna, who was all numb, couldn't help but stretched out her hand to push her, and then she lost a rare temper.
"Sister Veronica! If you touch me again, I...I will leave!"
"That can't be done~" Faced with Anna's soft, waxy, and even slightly trembling threat, the extremely shameless princess naturally ignored it. Not only did she hug her tighter and tighter, she even lowered her head and laughed. road:
"Otherwise, if you call me sister-in-law instead, I'll let go of you a little, okay?"
"I……"
Um?
After waiting for two seconds and not hearing a reply, she noticed that the body in her arms was slightly stiff. Princess Veronica couldn't help but raise her head in surprise and looked into the hesitant eyes of the thin girl.
"What's wrong?"
After looking at Anna's expression, Princess Veronica pondered for a moment, then loosened her arms slightly, stared into her eyes, and asked softly and slightly apologetically:
"Did I make things difficult for you? If you are not used to changing your words..."
"No!"
After shaking her head hurriedly, Anna subconsciously grasped the corner of her skirt, then mustered up the courage to look back and asked in a low voice:
"I just want to know...Sister-in-law...Sister Veronica, did you choose to marry your eldest brother really because...because you like him?"
Good guy, so you are really here to help him "check things out"!
Faced with her sister-in-law's slightly childish question, Princess Veronica couldn't help but pursed her lips and smiled, subconsciously wanting to make a joke. However, when she met Anna's eager eyes with a hint of worry, she couldn't help but feel slightly. One soft.
The reason why the weak-tempered Anna mustered up the courage to ask herself such a question must be because she was afraid that she had "ulterior motives" and was eyeing the things behind Lyon, and that her brother would be harmed in this "political marriage" .
Therefore, like Lyon, she neither cares about the significance of marrying the royal family nor the interests behind the marriage, nor does she care about the glory and benefits of being a prince. The only thing she worries about is whether her brother can attend the wedding. Then get happiness.
Hey, she is indeed Leon's sister, not ordinary special... Well... Or it can be said that maybe Anna is the most normal one, and the people she has come into contact with in the past, as well as herself, a woman full of calculations, are the ones who are... Really "special".
After smiling slightly at herself, Princess Veronica couldn't help hugging Anna tightly, and kissed her on the cheek lovingly and lovingly. Then, despite Anna's exclamation and rejection, she confessed seriously road:
"To be honest, it was definitely not the case at the beginning. When I chose Lyon, it was more because of his status as the Lion-Hearted Duke and the convenience that his status could provide me."
"Then...then now..."
"Now it is."
The princess, whose cheeks were also slightly flushed, endured the shame in her heart, stared into Anna's eyes, and said sincerely:
"Although it sounds a little weird, there is something about Leon that is very attractive to me. He...I don't know how to describe it specifically, but the way he looks at me is really different from everyone else. He is not possessive, There is no awe and no greed.
I can vaguely feel that he doesn’t value my identity, my wealth, the power and status I represent, nor my appearance...well..."
When speaking of this, Princess Veronica paused, recalling the occasional sneak glances that Leon had with her during their "private meeting", and then changed her words again:
"I don't think much of my appearance and figure... In short, in Leon's eyes, I am not the first princess, nor the future queen, but Veronica herself.
In front of him, I don't have to play a certain identity, nor do I have to worry about disappointing anyone, nor do I need to become a symbol in anyone's heart. When I am with Leon, that is when I am most relaxed... Anna, you can understand What do I mean? "
