Chapter 243 Poor Leon, was
"..."
The two of us...did we get the wrong script?
When he was about to come over to break off the engagement, Leon had already made psychological preparations in advance. However, he thought that the princess might refuse flatly, put forward some harsh conditions, or even use coercion and inducement, etc.
But the only thing he didn't expect was that the princess actually chose to "reason" with him, and even launched a confident and powerful pursuit towards him...
By the way, can this be considered pursuit?
……
"I admit, if I have to make a choice now, then we... are indeed quite suitable..."
Being squeezed into a corner of the sofa by the princess who was getting closer and closer, Lyon shrank like a little daughter-in-law. With a will stronger than steel, he withdrew his palm and continued to resist with all his strength: "But I don't have to. Making a choice, at least you don’t have to choose now... Your Highness, you are indeed very good, but right now I still..."
"Since you are not in a hurry to make a choice right now, why are you in a hurry to reject me?"
Faced with Lyon's "resilient resistance", the princess did not rush to pursue and fight. Instead, adhering to the military principle of "surrounding three buildings and one", she took the initiative to find a way out: "I did not force You accept this marriage right away, I just don’t want you to cut it off too eagerly.
Leon, if you are not in a hurry to make a choice, then we might as well maintain the current situation first, have more contact, and enhance our understanding. Don't reject the gift of fate so easily. "
"Do you still believe in fate?"
"I didn't believe it before."
The princess smiled and said: "But since fate gave you to me, then I am willing to believe in her once."
"..."
Stop fighting, stop fighting, I'm really about to vote...
Faced with the princess who was unable to change her temper and flirt with her, Leon, who was retreating steadily, could not withstand her waves of attacks, so he had to raise his hands in surrender and said:
"Then... let's do this first?"
"Then let's do this for now."
After successfully repelling Leon who came to regret their marriage, and regaining all the lost ground in one fell swoop, the princess pulled up the shallow V at the neckline of her nightgown, then sat up straight, moved the battlefield with a smile and said:
"Besides, I haven't had time to thank you for helping me find my identity. What kind of thank you would you like for this matter?"
"Forget it as a thank you..."
After hearing what the princess said, Leon, who was slightly relieved, became vigilant again and quickly waved his hand:
"I am the liquidator of the Cleaning Bureau. According to the agreement between the Cleaning Bureau and the royal families of various countries, I have the responsibility to ensure the safety of royal family members, so..."
"The thank you gift from the cleaner can be forgotten, but the thank you gift from the prince still has to be given."
"..."
She seemed to like Leon's reaction very much. The princess, who was leaning on the back of the sofa, smiled, then stretched out her fair and delicate fingers and inserted them into the neckline of her nightgown.
"Uh... I'd better not interrupt."
"Why are you running?"
Funny, she grabbed Leon who was about to leave and put an old pendant into his hand. Princess Veronica whispered with some nostalgia: "This is the pendant given to me by my mother. ... Don’t worry, it’s not something that is very memorable and will require you to marry me if you accept it, it’s just a small wish.”
After gently holding Leon's hand and letting him grasp the pendant that was still warm, Princess Veronica said seriously: "When my mother gave it to me, she hoped that it would bless her. I am safe and well, and now I give it to you, hoping that it can also bless your safety." "Thank you..."
After rubbing this pendant, which was not an abnormal object and had no special effect, but was quite warm, Leon couldn't help but feel that the princess had played a round of scheming on him at first, but now she seemed extremely sincere. He hesitated for a moment, and then said hesitantly:
"Actually, if you just want the inheritance of the Lane family, the support of the Ministry of Roads and the Military, and a seat in the House of Lords, you don't necessarily have to go with me..."
"Leon, I must get married."
Before he could finish speaking, the princess spoke first, stared at him and said seriously: "This country cannot be handed over to Joshua. He has no talent in this area, so I must do it." Be the next queen!
A stable family and heirs who can pass on the royal bloodline are essential conditions for becoming a queen. Since I must marry someone else and start a family, why can’t that person be you? Woolen cloth?"
"..."
…
After appraising the progress of the fish walk and finding that it was basically in place, the princess, who had just surrounded the three and one pretending to give in, immediately revealed her true colors and launched an extremely fierce general attack!
"To tell you the truth, I investigated you very carefully before and after you succeeded Duke Lionheart."
After grabbing Leon's hand again and proactively confessing her investigation into him, Princess Veronica said with a look of reminiscence: "Although my plan at the time was just to take advantage of the opportunity after the collapse of the Ryan family. Taking back some control of the military headquarters has nothing else in mind for you.
But after you proposed to me in public during the knighthood ceremony, I quickly discovered that you are the most ideal candidate for prince in my heart! "
Looking at the somewhat surprised Leon in front of her, the princess expressed her evaluation of him in a warm voice.
"Leon, you are really good. Not only are you hard-working, reliable, stable in character, and family-oriented, you also dare to take responsibility and never leave your seriously ill sister. In order to save her, you would rather take personal risks and join the cleanup with a very high mortality rate. bureau.
After joining the Cleanup Bureau, he became conscientious and responsible, had the courage to do his job, and never backed down no matter how great the danger was. He even ran around on behalf of the victims during the excrement incident, and had almost no desire for power, even when faced with the position of Duke. Not tempted at all..."
Ah this...
After hearing the princess's evaluation of him, Leon couldn't help but blush, and said with some embarrassment:
"I'm actually not that good..."
"And you are very humble."
"..."
"I admit that when I agreed to your proposal, I was probably more interested in the seats in the Lane family, but after thinking about it carefully, I am now very convinced that you are the best prince I can find. If I let you go, I will definitely regret it in the future!”
After catching Leon and praising him fiercely, and expressing her absolute determination to win him, the princess, after showing off her attitude and courage, suddenly darkened her eyes and said in a low mood:
"I know that unlike me, who is the only one who can choose, you have other choices besides me, a troublesome woman. It may not be fair to you to tie you to me in advance.
But...but I really don't want to miss this opportunity! "
Staring into Leon's eyes, the princess changed her previous strong and decisive look. Her bright eyes were full of water, and she whispered with tears in her eyes: "This is the only time that I can rely on my own strength." It's my chance to choose my husband with my heart. I admit, I did use some caution just now, but I really have no choice.
When I first heard that you came here this time and wanted to break off the engagement with me, I panicked and my mind was a little confused. I subconsciously used the most familiar things to keep you... …
I...Leon, please don't be angry with me, okay? If you reject me, then I...I..."
