Chapter 378 Night and Light
Protect my father, my mother, and my sister when I’m awake during the day, and protect me when I’m sleepy at night?
It sounds like there is no big problem, but you were so sleepy that you fell asleep directly. So who among us is protecting whom?
After listening to Leon's words, the freckled prince was stunned for a full ten seconds before he managed to straighten out the logic, and then couldn't help but said angrily:
"Damn you bastard! I'm going to the cleanup bureau to file a complaint against you!"
"Uh-huh."
Leon, who was following the princess and had been struggling all day, no longer had the energy to pay attention to him. He closed his eyes sleepily and responded rather perfunctorily:
“Go ahead and vote, but the general bureau has been busy recently, so the processing may be slower, and the complaint may even be sent back directly and let our branch handle it on its own.
It just so happens that our director is busy recently. I will probably be the one to solve the problem for you then. So if you can accept it, you can just complain and I will take care of it. "
"..."
I complained to you, but my complaint ended up being handed over to you? Then why should I complain?
His face turned blue with anger at Leon's answer. The Freckles Prince instinctively wanted to take action. However, the bastard in front of him was different from everyone he had come into contact with in the past. If he was provoked, he would really dare to take action. Big Mouth slapped himself hard.
"That's not fair!"
After thinking about the beatings he had received in the past, Joshua reluctantly endured the anger in his heart, stamped his feet twice and said angrily: "I am the prince! Why do you go there when you are awake? Protect Veronica and come to protect me when you are too sleepy? What if something happens to me at night?”
Um? Have you actually learned to try to reason?
He opened his eyes in surprise and looked at the "arguing" freckled prince in front of him. Leon pondered for a moment, and then said with a strange expression: "Okay, you can change it if you want, but I This is personal protection.
Aren't you and your uncle who is the finance minister actively contacting the old nobles in the past two days, repeatedly negotiating terms with the House of Commons, trying to get them to cooperate with you to bring down the princess? You asked me to follow you during the day, weren't you afraid that I would leak the secret? "
"..."
It seems inappropriate to say so... Wait!
“How do you know who I am negotiating terms with?”
"I saw it on your sister's table... Besides, you don't really think this is a secret, do you?"
After looking at the frightened freckled prince in front of him, Lyon curled his lips in disdain and said: "The old aristocracy was not of the same mind, and a place like the House of Commons where people talk a lot is leaking like a sieve. Maybe it’s kept secret. The matter of you wooing them was already reported in the newspaper last Wednesday, okay?”
"..."
…
To be honest, you are the real deal...
Looking at Joshua who was rendered speechless by his complaints, Leon couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
Although it is a conspiracy to unite the old nobles and form a good House of Commons, as long as the princess still wants to cut off the flesh of the old nobles and big businessmen, there is nothing to stop you from joining together. She is not afraid of being known.
But for something that should be kept as quiet as possible, you can make the city full of trouble. It is true that no one else can. You even refused to change the carriage you were riding in when you went to visit. Who can you hide this from?
At your level, if you can fight against the princess, you will be damned!
“Any more questions?”
Joshua, who was too lazy to pay attention to his face, was turning green and red. Leon, who had been working as a personal guard all day and was almost left to "sleep" by the princess, yawned loudly again.
"If it's okay, just go to bed. Your sister will get up at around five o'clock tomorrow to compete with the Minister of Finance for the candidate of the new tax secretary. Then I will also prepare to take a look..." "Wait!"
Seeing that Leon was covered with a thin quilt and seemed ready to end the conversation, the freckled prince couldn't help stamping his feet again and stopped him angrily: "Get out of here! I don't need your protection! What qualifications do you have to sleep here with me? Get up quickly! Go to the maid's room outside! Otherwise I..."
"Am I being too polite to you?"
Seeing that after explaining for a long time, Joshua still wanted to prick him. Leon, who had been under a lot of work pressure recently, lifted up the quilt and sat up, rolled up the sleeve of his right hand, then squinted his eyes and said:
"I'll give you two ways. The first way is that you go back to sleep now and sleep until tomorrow morning; the second way is that I spend some time beating you and make you comatose until tomorrow morning... …Which way is yours to choose!”
It’s the same thing again!
Finding that Leon seemed to be ready to take action, Prince Freckles quickly took half a step back, and then argued bravely: "You... you are rough! You are barbaric! Using force is the worst option! Really? The superior person should..."
"The real superior is the one with the bigger fist."
Raising his right hand into a slap, which frightened Joshua and took half a step back, Leon lay back down again, "Besides, the useful choice is the right choice. Do you care whether I am barbaric or not?" Go to sleep now!"
"..."
Just wait for me!
The freckled prince stood in front of the sofa and breathed heavily for a while. Considering the huge gap in strength between the two, he finally did not dare to make a move.
And when Leon had closed his eyes, his breathing rhythm gradually lengthened, and he was about to fall asleep, he could only snort angrily, and then stamped his feet vigorously on the carpet, stepping back to his feet step by step. bedside.
Let you sleep! I'll shock you to death!
besides! You can only be so arrogant for a few days!
When I overthrow Veronica and succeed my father as the new king, I must put up a sign at the entrance of the palace, saying that Leon and dogs are not allowed in! Then a decree was issued that all those who beat the king without reason would be hanged!
Joshua, who failed to chase him out, swooped down and landed on his bed, making a muffled thud. Then he began to shake the quilt vigorously, making a series of popping noises.
After struggling for a while, he heard the sound of turning over and grunts of dissatisfaction from Leon, and after confirming that he had successfully retaliated against him, Joshua fell asleep with some relief under the control of sleepiness.
…
"Almost."
Not long after the freckled prince closed his eyes, an old voice sounded from a clock tower located on the west side of the palace, almost three streets away.
Looking at the peaceful darkness in front of him, with even the street lights out, the old investigator sitting cross-legged on the roof of the building said calmly: "Except for the Blood-haired Princess and that Leon, the Virgin Branch Everyone has left the royal capital, and the two of them have fallen asleep...Nicole, it's time for you to do something."
"OK……"
With a slightly hesitant response, the old investigator's back lit up slightly. The female reporter, who disappeared after stealing her wallet, came out holding a small lantern that was very bright and warm.
After giving the old investigator a hesitant look, the female reporter pursed her lips and gently shook the delicate glass lantern in her hand.
And with her cautious movements, most of the royal capital, which was mostly hidden in the darkness, actually flickered slightly with the flame of the lantern, and then it suddenly shone brightly, with a blazing sun replacing the original moon, high in the sky. The ground hung in the middle of the sky.
