Chapter 725
Chapter 725 (TT)
When you face your enemies, all you have are cold eyes and sharp fangs?
Seeing the cleaning lady smiling happily when she looked at Leon, but with a tense expression when she looked at them, the envoys from various kingdoms suddenly fell into speechless silence.
According to this logic...So you are in cahoots with him? We are your fucking enemies?
"Oh no!"
Looking at the group of envoys in front of her with dark faces, the female cleaner realized that something was wrong and hurriedly waved her hands to explain:
"I am on your side, he is..."
When she said this, she suddenly paused subconsciously, and waited for Leon to go back to find Princess Veronica. After they walked a long way, she relaxed and whispered:
"He is my enemy! As the princess of the Northern Kingdom, I will never collude with him. Please rest assured!"
"..."
Are you still relieved? After seeing you like this, we can all give up hope!!!
……
"Veronica."
Ignoring the female cleaner who was being "besieged" by the envoys of the allied countries, Leon walked back to the place where the envoys from various countries had been arguing. Then he took out a small plate of red velvet cake from the mirror world and handed it to Queen Veronica.
"Are you hungry? Do you want to eat something first?"
"it is good!"
Looking at Leon's calm eyes and listening to his caring questions, Queen Veronica, who was originally a little worried, immediately relaxed again.
Although the situation over there just now was indeed a bit worrying, looking at Leon's expression, he didn't seem to have done anything to let him down, so the situation should not be what he had thought before.
However, although she could think it through rationally, Queen Veronica still felt a little jealous when she recalled what she had seen before.
Looking at the plate of food handed to her, her lips moved slightly. She also wanted the same feeding treatment. Unfortunately, the envoys from various countries were still beside her, so she really couldn't open her mouth.
Queen Veronica took the plate with regret and ate two pieces herself. Then she handed the plate to the waiter beside her, took Leon's arm, and introduced the envoys present one by one.
After politely greeting everyone one by one, Lyon habitually reached out and touched his cufflinks, and with the help of the black goat's soul vision, he checked the soul background of these messengers.
Ambition, integrity, cunning, loyalty, suspicion, humility...
In general, there are half good and half bad people, but the "bad" part is slightly more. There is no one who is a purely good person. Everyone's soul seems mixed and messy, lacking the innocent (stupid) purity of the female cleaner.
But on the other hand, these people do not seem to be bad. Although their souls are chaotic and noisy, they do not appear dirty, proving that while they are eager for benefits, they should have a not-bad moral bottom line.
All in all...it is indeed Veronica's "taste" in choosing allies, and there is no one hiding any ulterior motives.
After checking the quality of his allies, Leon's expression suddenly became much more friendly. Under the introduction of Queen Veronica, he politely shook hands with all the envoys one by one and took the initiative to show his goodwill.
As his expression relaxed, the envoys from the allied countries all breathed a sigh of relief.
For some reason, Prince Lyon looked very gentle and not cold, but when he wasn't smiling, he always gave people a strange feeling of pressure. This strange feeling of oppression was not the demeanor of a superior who had been bossing people around for many years, but more like some kind of fear that was closer to instinct, a bit like when a person gets too close to an elephant, he will unconsciously pay attention to the elephant's footsteps.
Even if the elephant is raising its trunk and greeting you in a friendly manner, the huge difference in "quality" will always make you wonder if you will be trampled to death by it...
"Mr. Leon."
After shaking hands with the "elephant trunk" that Leon extended and feeling the warmth of human skin, the leader of the Conservative Party of the Kingdom of Alesund finally got rid of the strange pressure temporarily and said with a smile:
"I have heard of your name a long time ago. I was originally planning to wait until the banquet officially started and I presented you two with wedding gifts on behalf of the kingdom before formally getting to know you. That is why I did not come to visit you. I hope you don't mind."
"You're welcome."
After receiving training from the armor-piercing old man and learning some simple etiquette, Lyon quickly returned the salute in a slightly awkward manner.
After seeing from the other party's soul state that this was not just a polite remark, but the truth from beginning to end, Leon couldn't help but ask curiously:
"May I ask where you have heard my name?"
"Haha, Miss Abigail from the Scorpio Branch and I are close relatives. I heard some things about the Cleanup Bureau from her."
Abigail...oh, sheep whip!
After hearing the familiar name, Leon's expression suddenly became more enthusiastic.
Although this party leader is not a cleaner, it is good to be able to get in touch with Abigail's relatives. After all, if he wants to get a complete set of sheep offal, he will definitely not be able to avoid the sheep whip in her hand. Now he can have more acquaintances, and maybe he can get more help later.
The fat old man opposite with a kind smile obviously had similar thoughts as Leon.
After establishing a closer relationship through a common acquaintance, the leader of the Conservative Party of the Kingdom of Ålesund immediately seized upon Leon and began to praise him relentlessly. Although eleven out of ten sentences were nonsense, the atmosphere, which had been a little cold, soon became warm again.
After the formal greetings between the allies were completed, the fat old man who claimed to be Abigail's relative immediately seized the opportunity and asked in a roundabout way about the distribution of the "inheritance" of the Kingdom of Korok.
"I'll answer this one for you."
Seeing Leon being entangled by the envoys of the Kingdom of Alesund and looking a little embarrassed, Princess Veronica couldn't help but smile, then took over the conversation again and dealt with the entanglement of the envoys from the allied countries.
Leon, who was "replaced" by her, quickly found an excuse to slip out of the crowd, found a seat next to a pillar and sat down, then heaved a sigh of relief with lingering fear.
The level of flattery these envoys are going at is really frightening.
I just wanted to get familiar with the situation and expand my network in the Kingdom of Ålesund, maybe it would be useful in the future, but the other person really wanted to use the "network" immediately after he got it, so he climbed over to me.
If Veronica hadn't taken over the situation, I felt that given the atmosphere at the time, it would have been difficult for me to get out if I didn't leave something behind. In this kind of situation where I can't do anything but talk, it's really...
"It's just not suitable for me... oooh... I really can't do this..."
After looking in the direction of the voice with some surprise, Leon was quite speechless to find that the female cleaner had gotten rid of the entanglement of another wave of envoys at some point. At this time, she was sitting on the other side of the pillar, wiping her eyes and humming to a small mirror:
"I said I wouldn't be an envoy, but Harvey insisted that I come... Ugh... Uncle, I want to go home..."
