Chapter 378 Night and Lights
Chapter 378 Night and Lights
Protect my father, mother and sister when I am awake during the day, and protect me when I am sleepy at night?
It doesn't sound like there's any big problem, but you were so sleepy that you fell asleep. So who is going to protect whom between us?
After listening to Leon's words, the freckled prince was stunned for a full ten seconds before he could barely sort out the logic. Then he couldn't help but said angrily:
"Damn you bastard! I'm going to file a complaint against you at the Cleanup Bureau!"
"Uh-huh."
Leon, who had been following the princess for the entire day, no longer had the energy to pay attention to him. He closed his eyes sleepily and responded perfunctorily:
“Go ahead and file your complaint, but the headquarters has been quite busy lately, so they may be slow to process your complaint. They may even send your complaint back to our branch office and ask them to handle it on their own.
It just so happens that our director is also busy recently, so I will probably be the one to solve your problem when the time comes, so if you can accept that, then feel free to complain, I will take care of it all. "
"..."
I complained to you, but you were the one who handled my complaint? Then why did I complain?
The Freckled Prince was so angry at Leon's answer that his face turned blue. He instinctively wanted to take action, but 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 and slap him in the face.
"This is not fair!"
After thinking about the beatings he had received in the past, Joshua barely suppressed his anger, stomped his feet twice, and said angrily:
"I am the prince! Why should you protect Veronica when you are awake, but only protect me when you are too sleepy? What if there is danger at night? What if something happens to me?"
Hmm? You actually learned to try to reason?
He opened his eyes in surprise, looked at the freckled prince who was "arguing" in front of him, then he pondered for a moment, and then said with a strange look:
"Sure, you can change it if you want, but this is my personal protection.
Haven't you and your uncle, the finance minister, been actively contacting the old nobles and negotiating terms with the House of Commons these past two days, trying to get them to cooperate with you in overthrowing the princess? You asked me to follow you during the day, aren't you afraid that I might leak the secret?"
"..."
It does seem inappropriate to put it this way...wait!
"How do you know who I'm negotiating with?"
"I saw it on your sister's desk... Besides, you don't really think this is a secret, do you?"
After looking at the freckled prince in front of him who was horrified, Leon curled his lips in disdain and said:
"The old nobles were never of one mind, and the House of Commons is a place with so many people and so many mouths that it's impossible to keep secrets. Your attempt to win them over was reported in the newspapers last Wednesday, okay?"
"..."
……
To be honest, you are a real dish...
Looking at Joshua who was speechless after being ridiculed by him, Leon couldn't help but shook his head slightly.
Although uniting with the old nobles and befriending the House of Commons is an open conspiracy, as long as the princess still wants to cut flesh from the old nobles and big businessmen, there is nothing that can stop you from getting together, and you are not afraid of being known.
But you guys managed to make such a big fuss about something that should have been done as quietly as possible. It's really extraordinary. You even refused to change the carriage when you came to visit me. How could you hide this from anyone?
With your level, it would be a miracle if you could defeat the princess!
"Any more questions?"
Not wanting to bother with Joshua whose face was turning red and blue, Leon, who had been working as a personal bodyguard for the entire day and was almost asked to sleep with the princess, yawned loudly again.
"If you have no problem, go to sleep. Your sister will have to get up at five o'clock tomorrow to compete with the Minister of Finance for the position of the new economic and tax secretary. I will also go to take a look at her then..." "Wait!"
Seeing that Leon covered himself with a thin blanket and seemed ready to end the conversation, the freckled prince could not help but stamp his feet again and angrily stopped him:
"Get out! I don't need your protection! What qualifications do you have to sleep here with me? Get up quickly! Get out to the servants' room outside! Otherwise, I..."
"Am I being too polite to you?"
Seeing that Joshua was still going to pierce the thorns after explaining for a long time, Leon, who had been under a lot of work pressure recently, threw back the quilt and sat up, rolled up his right sleeve, and then squinted his eyes and said:
"I'll give you two choices. The first choice is that you go back to sleep now and sleep until tomorrow morning. The second choice is that I'll take some time to beat you up so that you'll be unconscious until tomorrow morning... It's up to you which choice you choose!"
It’s the same thing again!
Finding that Leon seemed ready to take action, the freckled prince quickly took a half step back, then argued with gritted teeth:
"You...you are rude! You are barbaric! Using force is the worst option! A true superior should..."
"The real superior is the one with the bigger fist."
He raised his right hand, which was clenched into a palm, and frightened Joshua so much that he took another half step back. Then, Lyon lay back down.
"Besides, a useful choice is the right choice. Why do you care if I'm barbaric or not? Just go to sleep!"
"..."
Just wait for me!
The Freckled Prince stood in front of the sofa and gasped for a while. Considering the huge gap in strength between the two of them, he finally did not dare to take action.
And when Leon had closed his eyes, his breathing rhythm gradually lengthened, and he was about to fall asleep, he could only snort angrily, then stomped his feet hard on the carpet, and stepped heavily back to his bed.
Let you sleep! I'll shock you to death!
And! You can only be so arrogant for a few days!
When I overthrow Veronica and succeed my father as the new king, I will put up a sign at the entrance of the palace, saying Leon and dogs are not allowed to enter! Then I will issue a decree that anyone who beats the king without reason will be hanged!
Joshua, who failed to chase the man away, leaped forward and fell on his bed with a dull thud. Then he began to shake the quilt vigorously, making a series of popping noises.
After tossing and turning for a while, Joshua heard the sound of Leon turning over and muttering in dissatisfaction. After he was sure that he had successfully avenged him, he fell asleep with a little relief under the control of sleepiness.
……
"almost."
Not long after the Freckled Prince closed his eyes, a somewhat old voice was heard from a clock tower about three blocks away on the west side of the palace.
Looking at the capital city that had fallen into a quiet darkness, with even the street lights turned off, the old investigator, who was sitting cross-legged on the roof, said calmly:
"Except for the Blood-Haired Princess and that Leon, everyone in the Virgin Division has already left the capital, and the two of them have fallen asleep... Nicole, it's time for you to do something."
"OK……"
Following a hesitant reply, the light behind the old investigator dimly lit up, and the female reporter who had disappeared after stealing the wallet came out with a small lantern that emitted very warm light.
After looking at the old investigator hesitantly, the female reporter pursed her lips and gently shook the delicate glass lantern in her hand.
As she moved cautiously, the capital city, which was mostly hidden in darkness, actually flickered slightly along with the flame of the lantern, and then shone brightly. A blazing sun replaced the original moon and hung high in the center of the sky.
