Chapter 163 Heartbeat Moment
Chapter 163 Heartbeat Moment
"Pfft."
Looking at her brother's face which was half swollen, with an expression of two parts shock, three parts bewilderment, and five parts of disbelief, the princess bit her lips tightly, her face turned red, but she still accidentally let out a little sound from the corner of her mouth.
Posture! Pay attention to your posture!
As if she had heard the telepathic voice of a middle-aged noblewoman, the princess, who couldn't help laughing, secretly pinched her thigh hard, and then barely suppressed her laughter with the help of the pain. Then she raised the back of her hand that was stretched out to Leon a little higher, and whispered with anger in her eyes:
"My prince, how long do you want me to wait for you here?"
"..."
Looking at the princess with a pretty face that looked dizzy (she was trying not to laugh), charming eyes (she was trying not to laugh), and dazzling white collar (this was real), Leon hesitated for a moment, and finally bent down slightly and took the initiative to hold her hand.
It’s not that I’m greedy for power, nor am I obsessed with beauty, but... this is a gold badge!
Moreover, the princess is the first heir to the throne. As long as he and her maintain this superficial marriage relationship, once the old king passes away, the gold badge will be directly upgraded to a different color. This... how can anyone refuse this?
Become!
After grabbing Leon's hand, and thereby grabbing the Ryan family's inheritance and the future of the entire kingdom, Veronica felt her whole body relax, as if some shackles that had been pressing on her were directly taken off at this moment.
She stepped onto the stage, interlocked her fingers with Leon, and stood beside him. Princess Veronica's pretty face couldn't help but flush with excitement again.
As long as he takes advantage of this unique opportunity, completely digests the legacy left by the Ryan family, and allows the royal family and his own power to control the Ministry of Road Administration and the Military Department, then the reform he has always dreamed of can be implemented!
Next, we need to clean up the accumulated problems over the years, find a way to make up for the fiscal deficit, and rebuild the military that was almost emptied by the Ryan family. Then the kingdom will be strong again!
The kingdom from now on will never be like what happened six years ago, where the enemy army marched straight into the kingdom and forced most of the people in the county to leave their homeland, leaving nearly a million people homeless...
……
"Dong dong!"
Lyon's immersion value had already exceeded 3 points. Although he had not yet acquired completely inhuman physical qualities due to insufficient training time, his perception ability had already been greatly enhanced.
When the princess stood beside him, in addition to her gradually rapid breathing, Leon could vaguely hear her increasingly rapid heartbeat.
"Boom! Boom!"
Looking at the princess whose eyes seemed a little erratic and whose cheeks were getting more and more flushed, feeling the subtle moisture oozing from her soft palms and her rapidly rising body temperature, Leon couldn't help but frowned and asked softly:
"Your Highness? Are you okay?"
"Just call me Veronica. Or Vinnie."
The earnest expectation of nearly ten years was about to be fulfilled. The country that she loved so much finally saw the dawn. The extremely excited princess tightly grasped Leon's palm and responded with joy in her eyes:
"I'm fine, really fine! I can even say that I've never felt better than I do now!"
"Prince... No! Leon! I really want to thank you, and thank you on behalf of the entire kingdom!
Although I still don’t know why you proposed to me, I can assure you that your choice will be the right one! I…I seem to be a little too excited…”
“Boom! Boom! Boom!” Although her hand holding Leon’s was still strong, as her heartbeat became more and more intense, the princess’ body began to lean towards him unconsciously. Finally, she directly took Leon’s arm, gently rested her head on his shoulder, and said softly with a blushing face:
“Help me up, Leon…Help me up, please? Maybe…maybe I’m too happy, I’m a little dizzy now…my heart is beating a little fast…”
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, when the princess came closer, her rosy and plump lips gently rubbed Leon's earlobe. The burning heat seemed to be contagious, spreading directly from her rosy lips to Leon's ears, dyeing Leon's ears red as well.
The soft breath she gave him when she spoke tickled Leon's ears, causing his heartbeat to speed up. Leon felt as if his heart was beating like a drum, hitting his chest from the inside, beating faster and faster, and the sound was getting louder and louder...
"Dong dong dong! dong dong dong! dong dong dong!"
At some point, the entire hall suddenly became quiet again. Whether it was the whispering guests or the unwilling prince, they all tacitly kept silent and subconsciously covered their hearts.
What's wrong with me?
Feeling her cheeks becoming hot and scorching due to the blood rushing up, the Prime Minister's wife, who was standing in the front row like the Freckles Prince, touched her face which was strangely flushed, somewhat at a loss. Then she turned her head to look at the attendant who was following her, hoping that he could help her leave the increasingly hot hall and go out to get some cool breeze.
But before the Prime Minister's wife could speak, the attendant beside her suddenly weakened her legs, staggered two steps forward, then bent over and fell in front of the main stage. After struggling for several times, she was unable to get up again.
The attendant's pounce seemed to have triggered some strange switch, and the sound of people falling to the ground could be heard one after another throughout the hall.
As if they were collectively drunk, all the guests in the hall had strange red flushes on their faces. After stumbling a few steps, they fell down one after another in all directions...
……
"Poison! Someone poisoned me!"
At this moment, someone finally noticed something was wrong. The Freckled Prince, who had fallen to the ground, suddenly turned over and stared at Leon on the stage like a hungry wolf, roaring at the top of his lungs:
"It's you! It was you who poisoned me, right?"
Idiot! This has nothing to do with drugs. This is clearly an attack from an abnormal object!
Ignoring the Freckles Prince's blind guess, listening to the continuous thumping of heartbeats in the hall and feeling the blood flowing faster and faster in his body, Leon, who was also very uncomfortable, could not help but take a deep breath, and helped the princess, whose eyes were already blurry, to the side. Then he took out a small mirror from his arms and shook it in front of himself.
"Wow~"
Along with the little ha's understanding voice, the shopping bag containing the sheep's head and the black broom with cat's paw prints on the handle instantly appeared in Leon's hands.
"Boy, I've thought about it and found that your luck seems to be really bad."
After looking through the hole in the shopping bag at the messy scene in the hall, Black Goat concluded angrily:
"Just like that Conan Demon God you mentioned, you are really a troublemaker. Wherever you go, something happens. No matter what you plan to do, nothing goes smoothly."
'Stop talking nonsense and get to work!'
Touching the black goat's horn, he quickly checked the soul status of everyone in the hall. After finding that they were all "normal", Leon couldn't help but frowned deeply, and directly instructed through spiritual communication "private chat":
'I suspect that this time the rebels were planning to assassinate the princess, but I couldn't find the person who used the abnormal object. The other party's "range" may be beyond my field of vision.
But apart from that, it is not ruled out that after getting my information, they deliberately used some method to avoid the soul perception ability, so please help me keep an eye on them! '
