Chapter 932 I'm Really Drunk
Chapter 932 I'm Really Drunk
"Yes, yes, yes! Sister-in-law is right!"
Under Leon's doubtful gaze, Melanie, who was secretly relieved, could not help but nod her head repeatedly and agreed with a serious face:
"I am such a genius! So I never betrayed my eldest brother. The reason I accepted my sister-in-law's bribe was just for the sake of my eldest brother's family harmony. There is absolutely no selfish motive in this... or if there is, it's not much!"
"..."
If you hadn't added this sentence, I might have actually believed it...
Looking at Melanie, whose eyes kept rolling around and who knew what she was thinking, Leon couldn't help but shook his head and asked helplessly:
"Where is Anna? Why isn't she home?"
Escaped!
Seeing that Leon took the initiative to change the topic, Melanie knew that her butt would not suffer anymore, and she immediately felt happy, and then hurriedly replied:
"Sister Anna has gone to work! After the poorhouse behind opened, she started working there and got paid. Whenever William and I were in school, she would go there to help out.
Originally, she didn't have to go to work today, but for some reason, a lot of gray-haired grandpas and grandmas came all at once, and even the corridor was crowded. There was not enough manpower, so Sister Anna had to go and help first."
"Then I came over."
After Melanie finished speaking, Veronica added in a gentle voice:
"William has been feeling a little unwell these past two days, so Anna approached my lady-in-waiting, hoping to ask someone to help look after William. I happened to be free today, so I sent some people to the workhouse to help, and then I came with the doctor to take a look."
"William is not feeling well?"
"Don't worry, it's just a slight fever."
After looking at Leon's slightly worried expression, Veronica explained softly:
"The child is weak and must have caught a cold at night. After drinking two small bottles of alchemical supplements, the child's fever has gone down and he has fallen asleep in the inner room just now."
"That's it..."
It seems that William only has a common cold, otherwise Anna would definitely be worried and would definitely come back to take care of him herself.
With the help of the black goat's soul vision, he looked into the inner room and confirmed that there was nothing wrong with William's soul. He was just sleeping soundly. Then, Lyon was completely relieved.
Just as he turned to look at Melanie, wanting to ask her what had happened during the days he was away from home, Veronica frowned slightly, leaned over and sniffed him.
"what happened?"
Then he raised his arm and smelled it. After confirming that there was no strange smell, Leon couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Do I smell anything strange?"
"It's not strange, it even smells good..."
After sniffing twice again, Veronica frowned and said:
"Leon? Did you drink before you came back?"
"..."
Although I didn't drink the wine... I did swallow a bead of the god of wine...
"I drank a little, I guess."
After nodding and answering vaguely, Leon recalled the fight with the director for the wine-soaked beads and swallowed them whole. He couldn't help but blow on his hand and smell it, then said helplessly:
"I went to the bureau before I came back, and I accidentally took a big sip... Is the taste obvious?"
"It's not very obvious... but it's a little bit strong..."
After sniffing it again, Veronica's cheeks flushed slightly, and then she blinked and said in confusion:
"I just sniffed it twice, but it felt like I had drunk half a bottle of liquor, a little... um... Melanie? Melanie?"
"what?"
After being called twice, Melanie finally reacted, raised her flushed little face, and said with half-opened eyes:
"Brother... I... I feel a little dizzy..."
"..."
Alcohol? Dizziness? Could it be that...
Looking at the two people in front of him who were dizzy, Leon could not help but hissed and quickly touched the back of his hand with the tip of his tongue. Then a burst of mellow and spicy alcohol followed the taste buds on the tip of his tongue and rushed straight to his head. Damn, I seem to have been soaked in the taste of the beads!
After standing up and moving away a little to make some space, Leon looked at Melanie, whose eyelids were starting to droop due to drunkenness, and couldn't help but scratch the back of his head. Then he had to carry her to his room and let her take a nap until she sobered up.
When Leon came out of the room, Veronica, who had probably guessed something about the situation, began to instruct the two female officials with drunken eyes to help take care of the two sleeping children.
After the two ladies-in-waiting left the living room and went into their rooms to take care of the two children, Queen Veronica, whose neck was slightly red, stood up, took his hand, and looked at him with watery eyes.
"Leon~"
"Stop!"
Feeling that the atmosphere seemed a little off, and vaguely moving in a strange direction, Leon quickly tilted his head back, pulled back his hand and reminded:
"I'm not in a good condition right now, please stay away from me."
"Okay, I'll listen to you~"
After blinking her bright eyes, Veronica stepped back a little, then wrinkled her nose, sniffed the suddenly stronger aroma of wine in the room, and then said with a smile:
“Leon, why don’t we go to another place? The smell of alcohol on you is getting stronger and stronger. If you continue to stay here, they will probably be knocked out by you even if there is a door between them.”
"..."
"Let's go, I'm really getting drunk."
Veronica touched her hot cheek with the back of her hand, and her eyes became more moist as she spoke:
“I haven’t seen you for several months. I have a lot to say to you, and I don’t want to get drunk... Leon, take me to a ventilated place, let me get some fresh air and sober up... How about my balcony?”
"it is good……"
After looking at the souls of the two little bastards and two female officials in the house and confirming that there would be no problem, Leon, who was worried that the smell of alcohol would continue to leak out, had to accept Veronica's suggestion. He entered the mirror world through the door handle that was polished to a mirror finish and walked all the way to the palace.
"Well...I feel much better now."
After being carried out of the window by Leon and placed on the wicker chair on the balcony, Veronica, whose face was flushed even more, couldn't help but teased:
"You are worthy of being the man I chose. Just being hugged by you almost made me drunk."
"..."
You are almost drunk, I am really drunk...
After putting the back of his hand close to his nose and smelling the alcohol that was as strong as the waves, Leon couldn't help but curse his bad luck in his heart, and then explained his situation with a sigh.
"So you took the Dionysus bead by mistake, so you keep smelling of alcohol?"
After listening carefully to Leon's explanation, Veronica nodded with her eyes half open and half closed, and then said with a smile:
"If that's the case, then I should have taken a bead by mistake... Leon~ Do you smell the scent coming from me?"
"Ah? What's that smell?"
"I miss your smell."
"..."
……
Hmm? This smell is...
Just when Leon was so embarrassed by the sudden cheesy love talk and failed to overcome it despite his best efforts, Anna, who had hurried home, just reached out and pushed open the door, but was suddenly raised her head by the strong smell of alcohol inside.
After opening the half-open door of Leon's bedroom with doubt in her mind and seeing Melanie lying on the bed with her legs spread out and sleeping soundly with a red face, Anna's face suddenly turned dark.
"Melanie!!!"
