Chapter 639 Night Attack
Chapter 639 Night Attack (Part )
If there is anything in this world that is more embarrassing than being caught bragging, it is when you are bragging the most and find that the person in question is outside the window, looking at you with a strange expression.
After making up an excuse that "it's late at night" and coaxing away the ladies-in-waiting and attendants who wanted to hear more gossip, Princess Veronica, who had not retreated even in the face of the Northern Kingdom's artillery fire, opened the window of her bedroom as if being tortured, lowered her head and blushed as she whispered:
"You...you...when did you come?"
"When you asked the female officer to keep an eye on the Ministry of Finance."
"..."
Doesn’t that mean you heard everything? ! ! !
After learning this extremely tragic fact, Princess Veronica's heart finally died completely.
Under Leon's strange gaze, the color of the sunset spread from her cheeks to behind her ears, and even the neck covered by the collar of her nightgown was covered with a light red.
"then you……"
The princess, who wished she could find a crack in the ground to crawl into, said in a trembling voice:
"Then why don't you come in? Or... make a little noise?"
"I saw you guys were having a great time chatting, so I didn't disturb you."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
Ah ah ah ah ah ah! ! !
Although you didn't disturb our conversation, you have killed my sense of shame!
After a moment of silence with Leon, the princess, who was screaming madly in her heart, turned aside and let Leon into her bedroom, then turned her head and whispered:
"Then you came to me because you wanted to..."
"Um... I came to see you mainly because I have something to ask you."
Although he had listened to the princess's "love story" in its entirety, seeing that she was so embarrassed that she might run away at any time, Leon did not continue to hold her and asked directly:
"What's with the wedding next month? Why was it scheduled without me knowing anything?"
"I have looked for you several times..."
Seeing that Leon seemed to be about to "raise an army to punish the culprit", Princess Veronica couldn't help but blink her eyes, and then said pitifully:
"But you're not home all the time, so I have no choice but to schedule our marriage first."
"..."
No...what the hell are you talking about?
Leon asked speechlessly:
"Why is there no way? Now most of the kingdom is in your hands. Is there anyone forcing you to marry me?"
"Yes, I have."
Princess Veronica slowly calmed down, blinked, and answered seriously:
“Although my father is ready to give up the throne, I am still only a princess after all. There are many things I cannot do legitimately. I must become the king before I can truly take over everything in the royal family.
According to the laws of the kingdom, an unmarried prince or princess cannot inherit the throne. I must get married before I can become the next queen, so I must marry you as soon as possible."
Must you get married before you can inherit the throne?
Leon couldn't help but frowned when he heard this, and then asked back with a look of disbelief:
"Why haven't I heard of this? When did the kingdom have such a rule?" "It will be soon."
"what?"
"My proposal has not been passed yet, but when the Senate convenes the next time, this article will be written into the kingdom's laws."
"?!?!"
It turns out that you were the one who set the rules!
He almost sprained his waist because of this slutty remark. Seeing that Princess Veronica had successfully passed the awkward period and began to tease him habitually again, Leon's face suddenly darkened, and then he fought back without hesitation:
"So where is your reserve? Didn't you just say that if I hadn't pursued you so passionately, you would definitely not..."
"Don't...Ah!"
Unexpectedly, Leon, who had already skipped this topic, would suddenly turn back to talk about his dark history. Princess Veronica couldn't help but scream, and rushed over with a red face, trying to cover Leon's mouth with her hand.
However, whether it was because she was a little panicked or because her own capital was too abundant, which made it difficult for her to maintain her balance, Princess Veronica had just rushed out a step when the fluffy slippers on her feet were rubbed off by the wrinkled carpet, and she staggered and was about to fall.
Seeing that she actually closed her eyes, as if she was ready to be hit hard, Leon couldn't help but curl his lips speechlessly, then quickly stepped forward to take it.
Phew…that was close!
Half lying in Leon's arms, the princess took two quick breaths. The frightened princess was about to say something when she found that Leon turned his head away a little unnaturally, and his earlobes seemed to be slightly red.
Hmm~ hum?
……
When Leon reached out to stop Princess Veronica, he already felt a little regretful.
If he had to describe his feelings in words, it would be that he was hit softly by a bag of water that was almost enough to trap him, which really made his heart flutter.
In addition, there was a charcoal fire burning in the fireplace in the bedroom. Princess Veronica was only wearing a single-layer pajamas without any fleece, and the warmth emanating from her plump body penetrated almost unreservedly.
To be honest, for me who is in adolescence, this... is a bit hard to bear...
"Your Highness?"
After waiting for a few seconds without any movement, Leon relied on his great willpower to gently push his arm outward, trying to help her stand up again.
But what Leon didn't expect was that the body he had pushed away with great effort did not stand up straight, but instead gently wrapped around him, and a pair of warm arms quietly wrapped around his waist.
I know you're afraid of this.
The hand that went around to Leon's back touched up and down, and found that the muscles on his back were obviously tensed. The princess who buried her head in Leon's arms couldn't help but smile slyly, then reached out and secretly pulled his collar, raised her head and said with a frightened face:
"That was a close call... I almost fell down. Fortunately, you were there."
"..."
Is it true or not? Is it true or not?
Seeing Princess Veronica start to act pitiful again, Leon's mouth twitched involuntarily, and then he raised his hand to grab her shoulders and push her out, but her collar had already been grabbed first. After pushing twice, Leon had to give up and said helplessly:
"What do you want to do again?"
"I don't want to do anything~"
The princess, who had regained the upper hand, smiled triumphantly, then blinked her eyes and said:
"Have you forgotten? It was you who came to talk to me about the wedding. By the way, what kind of wedding dress do you think I should wear on that day? Something solemn and dignified? Or something grand and bright?"
"..."
Let’s be honest, the question now is not what wedding dress to wear, but why should you wear a wedding dress, okay?
Knowing Princess Veronica's ability to "climb the ladder", Leon did not hesitate... shivered, then grabbed the hand that was drawing circles on his back, and tried to keep a straight face and said:
"Compared to this, you..."
"Compared to this, aren't you a little rude~"
After twisting her captured hand in the opposite direction and holding Leon's right hand, Princess Veronica squeezed into Leon's arms, then blinked her eyes and asked knowingly with a wronged look:
"Leon~ Why don't you look at me when you talk?"
