Chapter 418 White Arms
Chapter 418 White Arms
"it is good."
Lyon nodded to show that he understood, then stood up and got off the carriage.
At the request of the female official, he put on an outer robe and a hood, covering most of his face, then walked into a roadside restaurant called "Golden Vanilla" and found the private room that the princess had booked in advance.
Really...Even eating has to be secretive, just like an underground party meeting...
After secretly complaining about the princess's strange style of dinner appointments, the hungry Leon took off his outer robe, sat in the obviously carefully cleaned box, and waited patiently for his dinner partner to arrive.
However, ten minutes, fifteen minutes, twenty minutes...more than forty minutes passed, and there was still no sign of the princess who claimed that she would arrive within fifteen minutes.
After returning home in the morning, I slept for the whole day. The last time I ate was at Lyon yesterday at noon. I was so hungry that my eyes were almost turning green.
Let's get something to eat first...
Unable to wait any longer, Leon asked the waiter for a menu, intending to eat something to fill his stomach. However, after seeing the prices on the menu, he gave up the idea of ordering and ordered two glasses of water instead.
There was no other way. Although cleaners were considered "high-paying jobs" and not unaffordable, he had only received two months' salary so far. He had to pay rent, tuition, buy furniture, Anna's medicine for her health, and buy cigarettes for the unlucky Black Goat...
After calculating all the expenses, there was not much left. In addition, Anna, who was in charge of the accounts at home, had been sent out of the capital by himself. If the princess did not show up after placing the order, then Anna would have a hard week before she came back.
……
Really... I just repelled the evil god who tried to invade the world yesterday, but I can't even afford a good meal. I have to ask the director for another field allowance when I get back.
After pinching his sadly empty wallet, Leon couldn't help but shook his head, then stood up and prepared to leave the box to find a cheaper place to fill his stomach first. However, at this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard outside the box.
"Leon?"
After hastily pushing open the door of the box, the dusty princess heaved a sigh of relief when she saw Leon hadn't left yet. Then she said with a guilty look on her face:
"Something happened just now and I was delayed. Sorry, are you waiting impatiently?"
"It's OK. I guess it will take a few more hours before I starve to death..."
After responding unhappily, Leon looked at the princess with a tired look on her face and a little blood on her elbow. He hesitated for a moment, then asked in surprise:
"Didn't you go to meet with the Prime Minister? Why are you so embarrassed?"
"Because someone plotted against me..."
Hearing Leon's question, the princess couldn't help but smile bitterly, and then said helplessly:
"Recently, the Minister of Defense and I have been promoting the selection of non-commissioned officers in the military, striving to gradually replace those non-commissioned officers at the third level of lieutenant and lieutenant who have been promoted based on family background.
I had been planning to bring up the proposal for this elimination order in the parliament in a few days, but it was leaked out in advance. Not only this matter was leaked, but even my schedule for today was leaked.
Then, those non-commissioned officers who were worried about being replaced, under the instigation of someone, united to block me outside the Prime Minister's residence. The patrolling guards should have been informed as well, as no one stopped them along the way.
After they blocked the residence, they not only threw rocks inside, but they even nearly pushed past the guards and rushed in. I managed to escape with great difficulty, and my arm was broken at that time.”
Ah this... No wonder eating is like stealing, it seems like the princess is having a hard time...
Looking at the princess in front of him, whose forehead was sweating and whose elbow was still bleeding, Leon's resentment was slightly reduced. He then took out the [Infected Blood Belt] from the mirror world and said with a sympathetic look:
"Looking at the condition of your wound, it will most likely leave a scar. Do you want me to heal it for you?"
"Yes! Of course!"
After looking at Leon's expression, Princess Veronica curled up the corners of her mouth, then sat down next to Leon with a smile, pulled up her sleeves to reveal her snow-white arms, leaned her injured elbow over, and said in a delicate voice:
"Leon, luckily you are here~"
"..." I feel like you're trying to trick me again...
Seeing the princess looking at him with a dependent look, with stars twinkling in her eyes, Leon's head couldn't help but feel a slight numbness, and then he said unhappily:
"Don't pretend! If you rush here from the Prime Minister's residence, the journey will take at least 20 minutes. You should have enough time to treat the wound and bandage it in the carriage, right?"
"I'm in a hurry to see you~"
She was not embarrassed when her deliberate attempt to play the victim was seen through. The princess raised her white arms and responded with a smile:
"You and I are usually very busy. It's rare that we have some free time. Of course, we should make use of it as much as possible. We should spend as much time as possible while we are free. Otherwise, what will happen if our relationship as husband and wife fades?"
"..."
No... I'm not even married, how can we have a husband-and-wife relationship? Did you get a loan from Tiandi Bank?
Lyon couldn't help but roll his eyes when he heard that, then he grabbed the white arm waving in front of him, trying to wrap the [Infected Blood Belt] around it.
However, as soon as he touched the princess's soft arm, the wonderful touch of coolness and softness, as if wrapped in a pool of water, made him slightly startled, and his right hand unconsciously pinched it lightly.
"Well……"
As if Leon's action had disturbed her wound, Princess Veronica hummed softly, and her beautiful eyebrows couldn't help but slightly frowned.
Realizing what he had done, Leon blushed slightly, and then he began to bandage it in a hurry, even accidentally getting his fingertips tangled up a little.
"All right."
After hastily activating the effect of [Infected Blood Belt] and healing the wound on the princess' arm, Leon slightly avoided her gaze and removed the bandage. However, the white arm did not withdraw, but instead suddenly lifted up and gently rubbed the corner of his lips.
"?"
Feeling the warm and soft touch on the corner of his lips, Leon couldn't help but be stunned for a moment, then quickly pushed away the arm offered to him, frowned and glared back.
"what are you doing?"
"Nothing to do~"
After glancing at Liang's slightly red ears, Princess Veronica blinked, then covered her mouth with her hand and said with a smile:
"You were so absorbed in watching this just now, I thought you liked it~"
"I am not interested!"
"You squeezed it a little bit."
"..."
"Do you still want to pinch me? If you do, you can continue. I don't mind."
"..."
"If you don't say anything, then I will treat you as..."
"Hurry up and order! I'm starving!"
"Yeah, I'll listen to you~"
After pushing the stand with the menu over, looking at the princess's pretty face that seemed to be smiling, Leon wished that a crack in the ground could be split open right there, so that he could dive in and never come out again.
Damn it! Really...why can't I control my hands?
Haha, got it right!
Seeing Leon, who had a face full of resentment when she first arrived but now subconsciously turned his head away and didn't dare to look at her, the princess smiled smugly, then lowered her sleeves to cover her arms and picked up the menu standing on the table with a dignified manner.
After teasing, you have to let it go for a while, you can't do it continuously. After all, although the little man has a tender face, he has a bad temper. If you tease him too much like last time, he will bite you~
