Chapter 638 Night Attack
Chapter 638 Night Attack (Part )
"Ok!"
After hearing Princess Veronica's answer, the female official nodded and immediately began to write. The attendant on the other side reminded him hesitantly:
“Your Highness, there seems to be some unusual movements in the Northern Kingdom adjacent to Lane County recently.
You reminded us last time that what the kingdom needs most right now is time. If we encounter similar sensitive situations, we must handle them with caution and try not to irritate them. So... should we consider the wording of the receipt a little more carefully?"
"No need, just write it as it is now!"
Princess Veronica shook her head upon hearing this, and then began to explain:
“The news that the Kingdom of Korok suffered a tsunami that occurs once in a thousand years and that we have taken in all the affected people has gradually spread. So the Northern Kingdom sent people to attend my wedding not to congratulate me, but to get a piece of the pie.
We must not share all the precious technologies that Leon brought back, but we definitely cannot share them with the Northern Kingdom. As long as their food and climate problems are not solved, they will continue to go to war with us. In addition..."
When she said this, she hesitated for a moment, then pursed her lips and said:
"Also, I hope this wedding can be...purer, without too much messy political games mixed in, and try to postpone all these things until after the wedding.
Let’s put it this way. If other kingdoms send similar notes, when you reply to each kingdom, you can hint at my thoughts in a subtle way.”
"I got it."
After nodding in response, the attendant buried his head in the table and wrote furtively, while secretly glancing at the female official on the other side, and then saw the same meaningful look on the other person's face.
According to Her Highness Veronica's past utilitarian style of "making the best use of everything" should have made her take advantage of the "geographical advantage" of the wedding to maneuver and fight to the death with the envoys from various countries who had ulterior motives.
However, this time she actually gave up the advantages brought by the wedding, and would rather kill her own sharpness for no reason, and put all the games behind, striving for a "pure" wedding. It seems that...
Love is miserable~
And it’s not just ordinary miserable!
"Hmm? What's that expression on your face?"
"Nothing, nothing. I just took a look at her makeup. It was done very well."
"Well...she was a little sleepy, so we encouraged each other, oh hehe."
"..."
You two are really...
After looking at the female official who looked serious as ever but actually had a mischievous look on her face, Princess Veronica, with her earlobes slightly red, smiled and then admitted openly:
"It's just what you think it is, after all, it's an important day that should only happen once in a lifetime.
Although I am a princess, I am also an ordinary woman. Naturally, I would hope that when I recall that day many years later, there would be less intrigue and more good memories. Is there anything wrong with that?"
Yes! Of course!
After looking at the princess with admiration for expressing her thoughts openly without hiding her thoughts, and seeing that she did not seem to be shy about talking about this issue, the attendant could not suppress his curiosity and asked with a gossipy look on his face:
"Your Highness, how did you and Prince Lyon... know each other?"
How did you meet?
Princess Veronica was slightly startled when she heard this. After thinking for a while, she told the truth:
"We first met at the ceremony when he succeeded to the Dukedom. We encountered a rioter at that time... well... something happened anyway. We gradually became familiar with each other afterwards."
"As for the succession ceremony... isn't that just over two months away?"
After hearing what Princess Veronica said, the attendant couldn't help but said in surprise:
"Your Highness, so you have only known each other for more than two months, and you like him to this extent? You are even willing to change yourself for him?"
"..."
Although, even if the situation is indeed like this, it seems that I have always been a little too generous...
Faced with the surprised look of her attendant, Princess Veronica couldn't help but secretly bite her lip, then said with a blush on her cheeks: "Some things are not determined by the length of time. If you meet the right person, you will know that many times... well... this kind of thing is actually not that complicated. It's basically just a matter of one glance..."
"So it really is love at first sight?!"
The female official who was eavesdropping on the other side couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard the words, and then said with envy:
"I did hear that Prince Leon proposed to you the first time he saw you. I didn't expect it to be true!"
"Wow! You are worthy of being the most beautiful rose in the capital! I have only seen love at first sight in novels before!"
"..."
The proposal was real, but according to what I asked later, he was probably looking for an excuse to get rid of his identity as the Duke of Lionheart, but I happened to catch him on the spot...
Faced with the envious looks in their eyes, Princess Veronica, who was always frank and generous, couldn't help but blush slightly. Then, rarely did she explain the misunderstanding, but chose to acquiesce.
Actually... I'm not a face-sitter, nor am I vain, it's just... well... these things, after all, involve Leon's secrets, of course I can't talk about them casually, well, that's it!
Although it was already late at night, supported by their burning gossip spirits, the two men immediately felt better and started chatting with Princess Veronica, who was reluctant but willing.
"So it was Prince Leon who fell in love with you first!"
"It's not that I like him or not... but he did propose to me very quickly, um... and he was very sincere and shouted it out very loudly, defying the objections of everyone in Ryan's family, saying that he had chosen me and would marry me in this life!"
"Wow!"
"Is it so romantic?"
The two of them exclaimed in unison, satisfying the vanity of a certain princess to a great extent, and immediately continued to ask questions chatteringly.
"So when did you fall in love with him?"
"This...will be a little later. After all, I have always been very traditional. How can I agree to just any pursuit?"
Since she had always been in a "weak position" in her relationship with Leon, and was always pushed away by others, Princess Veronica, who had a rare chance to "get the upper hand", simply took the opportunity to have a good time, and narrated with a reserved look:
"I can't help it. He pursued me too passionately and even offered the entire Ryan family as a betrothal gift. It was hard for me to refuse."
"Oh, this... this is too much... is this what you agreed to?"
"Promise? How can I agree? I'm not such a frivolous woman, but I can't help it. He's just too clingy."
After sighing helplessly, Princess Veronica said with embarrassment:
“You don’t know, Leon looks a little cold, but he’s actually very passionate when pursuing someone. Not only does he come to see me every now and then, he also asks me out when he’s extremely busy, and sometimes he even sneaks into the palace at night…”
"Ah! So exciting!"
"This...this is too bold!"
"Is that bold? The bolder things are still to come!"
For the first time in her life, she could brag freely without worrying about being discovered. The princess, with her cheeks flushed with excitement, smiled, raised her head to look at the bright moon hanging high outside the window, and said dignifiedly and reservedly:
"Remember the last time the moon was this round, he...he...he..."
"..."
"???"
After waiting for a long time without any follow-up, the impatient female official could not help but ask in confusion:
"What happened to him? Tell me!"
He...he...why is he here!
