Chapter 483 Reports and Threats
Chapter 483 Reports and Threats
"Your Highness?"
Just as Princess Veronica was sitting at the table, flipping through her elementary school homework book with a fiery look in her eyes, a cautious reminder came from outside the bedroom door.
"In another six hours, there will be a meeting of the Ministry of Finance to re-set the budget. Considering the time spent on dressing, meeting with meeting members, and traveling, you should rest now."
"Well, I'll go to bed now."
After hearing the lady-in-waiting's reminder, the princess looked out the window and found that the sky was already turning white. Then she suddenly realized that she had been daydreaming and had already gone past her usual sleeping time.
After closing the old exercise book and carefully putting it into the drawer, Princess yawned tiredly, stood up from the desk, and walked towards the big bed in the bedroom.
However, just as she was about to go to bed, she seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to ask the female official:
"By the way, have you arranged the interview for tomorrow afternoon?"
"It's all arranged."
The female official who was drawing the curtains was slightly startled when she heard this, and then replied with a somewhat strange expression:
"I have gone to the editor-in-chief of The Scepter and the Horn and asked them to ask more questions about...about the relationship between you and His Excellency the Prince during the interview.
As for the problems they have sorted out, I have also copied them and placed them on your desk. They are in the third pending file. You will be able to see them after the budget meeting tomorrow."
"Very well, thank you for your hard work."
After nodding with satisfaction, the princess, who was exhausted after a whole day, hugged the arched quilt and lazily fell on her big bed. Then she squinted her eyes and said drowsily:
"But remember to adjust the order from now on. Put everything related to Leon in file number one. I want to see it first."
Number one? Isn't that a national priority? I know this is your first love, but isn't this a bit too much?
After hearing the princess' instructions, the female official's cheeks twitched slightly. She complained bitterly in her heart, but still nodded respectfully:
"Okay, I remember."
"Uh-huh."
"Oh, your highness..."
Just as Princess Veronica closed her eyes and looked like she might fall asleep at any moment, the female official could not help but ask in a low voice:
"I have been so busy these days that I have to deal with so much work that I only sleep for four or five hours at night. You are so busy, don't you really need to turn down the interview and adjust your schedule to have a good rest?"
After saying this, the female official seemed to be worried that the princess would misunderstand her meaning, so she hurriedly continued to explain:
"Your Highness, I don't think you shouldn't spend time on Prince Lyon. I just think that instead of accepting these meaningless interviews, you might as well take some time to rest and go meet him directly..."
"That's not possible~"
After hearing the female official's proposal, the princess lying on the bed closed her eyes and shook her head:
“You don’t understand Leon. Under normal circumstances, he is a very cautious person and is very resistant to situations that are out of his control. So if I keep intervening in his life in a particularly forceful way, not only will he not accept me, but he will only distance himself from me.
On the other hand, if I don't take the initiative to look for him most of the time, but just use some small tricks to make my presence felt, and occasionally "can't help but" come to him, he will find it difficult to push me away. "
"..."
The question is who would push you out? Our prince is really a little blind!
Glancing at the princess lying on the bed, the two full and perky petals under her nightgown, and her slender waist that suddenly narrowed above the petals and could be embraced by one hand, the female official barely resisted the urge to touch her, and nodded with her head slightly lowered.
"Besides, you think I'm a little too eager, right?"
The princess arched her knees against the bed and put her head on the pillow. She moaned with pleasure and then closed her eyes and said softly:
"I actually know that you have always felt that my request for the newspapers to unify their stories and spend a lot of time writing about me and Leon is a very ridiculous behavior. You may even be laughing at me in your heart. After finding a prince, you become obsessed with men, right?"
? ! ! !
After hearing the princess' words, the female official was slightly startled, then quickly shook her head and denied it:
"No! Your Highness, I have never thought of that!"
"It doesn't matter, because you are right. When I am free now, my mind is full of Leon."
"..."
After riding on the quilt and arching it, the princess smiled and asked in response to the somewhat upset expression of the female official:
"Let me ask you, if there is a man who doesn't care about your family background, doesn't covet your money, doesn't covet your beauty, is friendly to his siblings, works hard, dares to take responsibility, and has impeccable personal character. In addition, he understands your thoughts, recognizes your ideas, and is even willing to fight against the kingdom for you, taking huge risks, resolutely leading people to raid the palace, and saving you from danger... If it were you, would you be tempted?"
"..."
That should be exciting...
"Right?"
After glancing at the lady-in-waiting's somewhat fascinated expression, Princess Veronica smiled in a very good mood, as if she had successfully shown off her favorite jewelry, then raised her hand, clenched her fist with a determined look in her eyes.
“You have to know that in life, there seem to be many opportunities, but if you fail to grab some things when they come, you will never catch them again in this life.
And Leon, to me, is the kind of person that I must hold on to tightly and never let go of. I must fight for him! I must grab him! I must find every possible way to grab him! It's just that being laughed at by others in their hearts is nothing compared to him!"
"..."
Looking at the princess who was lying on her side on the bed with her butt half raised, but still looked a bit domineering with her fists clenched, the female official couldn't help but cast a complicated look at her.
Although...it's a good thing that you are determined, but it's just a relationship, there's no need to be so aggressive, right?
"Haha, just kidding."
Seeing the female official who was stunned by her "love experience" and didn't know what to say for a moment, Princess Veronica couldn't help but smile, then got into bed and lay down properly, closing her eyes and said:
"When I'm free, I don't actually think about him all the time... probably only 70%. The remaining 30% is still about other things, such as arranging those reports that are really a bit absurd."
Those reports?
As the female official looked somewhat puzzled, the sleepy-looking princess whispered in a dreamy voice:
“When Joshua and the Queen were first placed under house arrest, the Chancellor of the Exchequer and the nobles in the House of Lords had a serious quarrel with me. They even openly threatened that I was staging an illegal coup. Although I suppressed it, it did cause quite a stir.
But after I accepted these interviews and temporarily unified the tone of several major newspapers, talking about Lyon every day, do you think anyone is still discussing the coup? "
"?!"
So... you did all this on purpose?!
"Things like coup suspicion and conspiracy theories cannot be suppressed if someone deliberately incites them, but a piece of eye-catching gossip can easily cover up these things that shake people's hearts."
In the stunned look of the female official, Princess Veronica smiled, then closed her eyes and said sweetly:
"Those reports were so loud, Leon must have seen them, but he never came to me to ask about it. He must have figured out why I did it and the significance of doing it. He understands me~"
"..."
Your Highness, this is the only sentence you said tonight that seems a little unreliable...
Watching the princess falling asleep with a smile on her face without noticing, the female official could not help but shake her head speechlessly. Then, holding her stomach filled with dog food, she tiptoed out of the bedroom and returned to the side room opposite where she was resting.
A dreamless night.
Perhaps because she had eaten too much for the midnight snack, the female official slept very soundly. However, just as she got up from the bed with backache amid the blaring of the alarm clock and was about to go across to wake up the princess, a eunuch rushed in.
"problem occurs!"
After seeing the female official, the eunuch couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and then handed over a note, announcing anxiously:
"The ambassador of the Kingdom of Korok said that they lost something very important in the previous airship attack. If the item is not found within three days, they will consider imposing sanctions on the kingdom!"
