Chapter 814 Huh?
Chapter 814 Huh?
Kidnapping the princess?
After hearing Leon's promise, the cat princess' ears twitched involuntarily, and then she meowed with a puzzled look in her eyes.
The fake person who pretended to be him was hateful, but she... or he was just a character in a bedtime story. What's the point of catching her?
"The significance of catching her is to take the initiative in "advancing the story." "
After feeling his current situation, Leon pinched the paw of the cat princess and answered thoughtfully:
'Although we are also characters in the "Bedtime Story" and can even vaguely guess the content of the story, we don't know the whole story, so we can only follow the progress of the story like a puppet.
Although I have not been able to completely get rid of the restrictions, I have also gained a little bit of "freedom". So instead of dragging it out and waiting for the story nodes arranged by the other party to arrive, it is better to try to take the initiative and see if I can disrupt the other party's arrangements.'
It sounds like it makes sense...
After nodding as if she understood, the Cat Princess wanted to ask more, but she heard footsteps in the corridor stop outside the door, followed by cautious knocks on the door.
“Tock, knock.”
"Come in."
"Your Excellency, I am the captain of the guard of the Great Witch Court. You can call me..."
After turning the doorknob and walking into the house and greeting Leon, the captain of the guard, who had just heard a bunch of conspiracy theories from the president of the Shaman Society, couldn't help but take a closer look at the "evil Prince Lionheart".
At this time, the sun had just set in the sky, and a little dim afterglow shone through the window onto Leon's back, slightly brightening his facial features while also casting most of his body in dim light and shadow.
The shadow of Prince Lionheart, leaning on the back of his chair, was continuously lengthened by the dim light. He passed over the slightly worn tables and chairs, crossed over the dark carpet, and slowly and shadowily pressed towards the door.
The black kitten he was holding on his lap seemed to have sensed the movement at the door and poked its head out from his palm. Its two bright yellow eyes, with a look that should belong to a human, stared at him intently...
hiss……
Frightened by Leon's unique "temperament" in the night, the captain's smile froze on his face. Under the evil gaze of four eyes, one man and one cat, more than half of the speech he had prepared was immediately emptied out.
"Go on."
He held the cat princess' thumb slightly upwards, and gently touched her furry chin with the back of his finger. Most of his body was in the shadows, and he activated the special effect of the [Nightmare] badge. In the state of the Nightmare King, Leon said calmly but unyieldingly:
"What should I call you?"
"Um...Gary! You can call me Gary!"
The captain of the guard came back to his senses and quickly gave his name. Then he unconsciously took a few deep breaths and walked a few steps towards Yan Zhiang, who was emitting a huge pressure. He stood beside the chair opposite him and said with a smile:
"Your Excellency, regarding your maid..."
"and many more."
After interrupting the captain of the guard, the evil prince, who was petting the cat, raised his right hand, pointed at the chair opposite, and said calmly:
"Sit down and talk."
"Ah? Okay!"
After hearing Leon's order, the captain of the guard of the Great Witch Court was slightly startled at first, and then subconsciously followed the order and sat on the chair opposite him.
However, the strange thing was that even though they had changed from standing to sitting and seemed to be having an equal conversation, the captain of the guard did not feel relaxed. Instead, he felt increasingly tense.
The darker it got outside, the more relaxed the man holding the cat became, but the pressure from him kept increasing, almost suffocating him. The captain instinctively moved forward, only sitting on half of his buttocks, and slightly arched his head, neck, and back. His breathing finally became smoother, and he seemed to have gained some strange enlightenment.
When someone asks you to sit down and chat, it doesn’t necessarily mean that it will be an equal conversation. It may just be that he doesn’t like looking up at people…
"Your Excellency..."
After trying to tighten his body, the captain of the guard, who was shocked by the special effect of [Evil is Fear], lowered his head and whispered:
"We didn't actually capture your guard, only your maid. But she showed up at the base of the Yarn Ball Society, and she couldn't explain why she was there, so..."
"What's wrong?"
"what?"
Leon gently stroked the satin-like back of the Cat Princess, leaning his upper body against the back of the chair, and said calmly in the shadows:
"What I'm asking is, is there anything that you can't go to in that place?"
"Well... the Yarn Ball Society is a very evil underground society. They recently planned an assassination attempt against His Majesty the Great Wizard King, so..."
"fake."
"what?"
As the captain of the guard looked confused, the evil Prince Lionheart lifted the cat in his arms and explained calmly:
"The president of the Yarn Ball Society is my ally. Our goal is to kidnap Princess Catelyn and replace her with a fake one to directly make her inherit the position of the High Witch King. It is not to assassinate the High Witch King. So this was not done by the Yarn Ball Society. You have arrested the wrong person."
"what?"
After the fourth uncontrollable cry, the dumbfounded captain of the guards opened his mouth wide and looked at Leon opposite him with a dazed look.
I admit that your explanation is indeed very convincing. After all, the failed assassination attempt on the Great Witch King may not be as harmful as your plan... but you just said it out loud?
……
Well... since he can tell his own "plan", it proves that [Wu You Zhi Shu]'s control over [Bedtime Story] is not actually throughout the whole story, and he can probably only control the key points of the story.
While the captain of the guard sat in a daze on the chair, not knowing what to say for a moment, Leon, who had leaned against him to test his "freedom", could not help but continue to ponder the information of the "Bedtime Story" in his mind.
According to the current situation, Wu Youzhishu's [Bedtime Story] should only be a "synopsis", just like Snow White will definitely eat the poisoned apple and Sleeping Beauty will definitely have her finger pricked by the spindle. Even if he has the blessing of [materialism], he still cannot go against the story he has set.
However, these are probably the only situations that [Wu You Zhi Shu] can control.
He could only stipulate that Snow White eat the poisoned apple, but he had no way of controlling whether the apple was red or green, whether it was waxed, or whether it tasted sweet or sour.
To sum it up briefly, the closer the plot is to the "outline" and "main line", the stronger the restraining effect of [Bedtime Story] will be. Those things far away from the "main line" will hardly be restrained by [Bedtime Story], and there seems to be a lot of room for operation here...
[Through detailed testing and summarization, you have obtained a large amount of information about "Bedtime Story"... Your resistance to this abnormal object has increased significantly, and you can now block deeper influences.]
Guess it right!
Hearing the voice ringing in his ears and feeling the restraints being loosened again, the corners of Leon's mouth couldn't help but curl up. He then looked up at the hesitant captain of the guard opposite him, and smiled as he extended an invitation to play with him.
"Gary, I think you're a talented person... Do you want to join my plan and kidnap the princess?"
"ah?!?!?!"
