Chapter 248 Dragon Pond and Tiger Den
Chapter 248 Dragon Pond and Tiger Den (Part )
A few moments.
"Your Highness, are you still cold? Do you want to put on more clothes?"
"No... no need..."
After hearing Leon's question, the princess, who was wrapped in an old coat, wearing cotton gloves, holding a hot water bottle, and holding a warm puppy in her arms, couldn't help but shook her head slightly, and then said with a complicated expression:
"Actually, I'm not that cold... Are you afraid of the cold? Why do you carry so many warm things with you?"
"Not only did I bring things to keep warm, I also brought things to keep out the heat."
As Youha whimpered with a baby voice, the car window next to Leon flickered slightly, and a sun hat and two old silk fans appeared in his hands one after another. Then, a small iron basin filled with milky white smoothie even fell down.
"..."
Why do you carry a fan and smoothies with you in the winter?
In the princess's speechless look, Leon explained calmly:
“As you know, the work of our Cleanup Bureau is very special, and we often encounter various unexpected situations. For example, our predecessors from the Tianqin Branch have been frozen in the polar regions for two years due to an accident.
I was worried that I would encounter similar extreme situations when I was on a mission one day, so I made some preparations in advance and brought some food, water, tools and other things with me to avoid being overwhelmed when the time comes...
By the way, would you like to try a smoothie? It’s made with coconut syrup and is very sweet. ”
"No... no need..."
After declining Leon's kind offer to share, the princess deliberately froze on the roadside for more than half an hour in order to have an excuse to flirt with the man. She had no choice but to drink a big sip of the hot water prepared by Leon with a gloomy face. Then she hugged Youha fiercely in her arms and kissed it hard as if in revenge.
Forget it, if I can't hug the man, then hugging his dog is not bad either... Hmm... Speaking of which, this little thing is really cute~
"Your Highness Veronica."
Amid the ravaged young Ha's woofing protests, Leon looked down at the ticket in his hand and then took the initiative to ask:
"What play will the Morning Star Theater, which you want to see, perform today?"
"Of course, the most classic works of Master Wilde!"
To Lyon's surprise, what the "ticket maid" had said before, that the princess liked the works of Master Wilde, did not seem to be entirely an excuse.
When mentioning the play they were going to watch, Princess Veronica's eyes suddenly lit up. She hugged the struggling little Ha in her arms and listed them like a treasure:
"Among them, the must-see is Oscar Wilde's famous work Lady Helena, which tells the story of a forbidden love between the former great sculptor Lady Helena and her most outstanding disciple.
Especially the scene where Lady Helena, who has gone through many hardships and is gentle and calm, cannot control the throbbing in her heart for the first time under the passionate and sincere pursuit of her disciple. There is a kind of beauty that is faintly mixed with holy beauty in the midst of immorality.
For the sake of her family and her disciple's future, she had no choice but to reject the boy's feelings and cruelly drove him away. But when he left sadly, she lost her hand for the first time and accidentally destroyed the work she had carved for years. That scene was even more shocking! When the statue was destroyed, it was unknown whether it was for the damage of years of hard work or for the farewell to the love of her life, but the suppressed sobs that appeared involuntarily made people feel so painful that they wanted to pull their hearts out.
Later, she picked up the carving knife with tears in her eyes and continued to modify the destroyed statue. She found that the face of the statue, which she had carved countless times, actually looked more and more like the lover she rejected. In the end, she could only touch the face of the statue and weep sadly. Lady Helena is an eternal classic in the history of drama! "
After introducing her favorite work excitedly, the princess continued to recommend it eagerly, as if she was afraid that Leon might not like this kind of sadomasochistic drama:
"Leon, if you want to see some light-hearted plays, there are romantic comedies like 12 Days Together and Rent by Oscar Wilde.
"Twelve Days" is an early masterpiece of Oscar Wilde. It tells the story of Elijah, a young man who resists the marriage arranged by his family. He secretly runs away from home to a port city before his marriage, but because he doesn't know where to go, he hires Agatha, a beautiful waitress in the local tavern, to be his temporary tour guide.
The two got to know each other during the eleven-day trip and finally fell in love. But just when Elijah wanted to give up his loveless marriage and bravely pursue his own happiness, Agatha was kidnapped by a mysterious man on the beach. For the safety of his lover, Elijah had to go home to get married and try to find Agatha with the help of his fiancée's family.
However, it is unbelievable that when Elijah gave up his love for the sake of his lover's safety and married the wife arranged by his family, the person who appeared at the wedding was Agatha, who also hated the arranged marriage and ran away, but was forcibly taken home to marry because her whereabouts were exposed...
How is it? Doesn’t it sound exciting? Can’t wait? "
"..."
Seeing the princess’ eyes gleaming with anticipation, as if she was eager to get a positive answer, Leon couldn’t help but grin.
To be honest... it does sound okay, but you just told me the biggest highlights of these two dramas in just a few words...
Looking at the princess in front of him who was eager to recommend her favorite play but ended up spoiling the show without realizing it, Leon smiled helplessly and nodded in agreement.
"It's certainly interesting... Is this all we're going to look at today?"
"Yes! One was 'Twelve Days Together' and the other was 'Lady Helena'. After we finished watching both, it was just getting dark."
The princess who had successfully introduced the method smiled brightly, hugged Youha and said happily:
"I knew that no one could resist the work of Master Wilde... Leon, believe me, even though the Morning Star Theater had some problems recently and the lead actor couldn't perform, and it's not as good as before, we still have Master Wilde's script. I promise you won't regret it!"
Wow, you are so busy all the time, but you still pay attention to the changes in actors in a theater troupe. It seems that what the maid said is true. You are really a die-hard fan of that master.
Although most of the details had been revealed to him before he even saw the show, seeing that the princess was much more "real" than before, Leon was inexplicably not that resistant to this trip into the dangerous world.
"Then I'll believe you."
He smiled at the princess, and when the carriage began to slow down and stopped at the side of the road, Leon threw the warm clothes and Youha into the window, then got off the carriage first, and then turned around and extended his hand to the princess.
"Let's go. I hope our trip today will be worthwhile."
