Chapter 1066 Flag
Chapter 1066 Flag
"Anna really doesn't want anything?"
Seeing Anna rushing to the armament deck angrily and carrying William back when he tried to touch the 210mm rapid-fire gun, Veronica couldn't help but chuckle, and then said with a hint of curiosity:
“Leon, no matter how gentle and sensible she is, a girl of Anna’s age will want something, right? Does she really not want any gifts?”
"real."
After hearing Queen Veronica's question, Leon couldn't help but nodded helplessly.
"I've asked her several times in the past few days. It's not that she doesn't want a gift because she's being distant with you, nor is it that she's too shy to ask. She just really doesn't want anything... Or could you approve more funding for the workhouse? Anna seems to care more about these things..."
"That's it..."
After nodding to indicate that she understood, Queen Veronica couldn't help but sigh as she looked at the thin girl who had carried Brother William away from the rapid-fire cannon and began to scold him with her hands on her hips:
"That's right. After all, she is your sister. She has gone through those difficult days with you. It's normal for her to have such thoughts."
"Idea? What idea?"
“Love other people’s ideas.”
Standing at the edge of the bow holding the railing, Queen Veronica, whose hair was blown messily, couldn't help but hold the warm hand of the person next to her, and said softly:
“Leon, your sister is just like you, a very gentle person. After experiencing pain, she wants to…”
"I just want to kill all those people who made me suffer!"
After unable to help but speak up, recalling the life in the past few years, Leon couldn't help but hold Veronica's somewhat cold palm, and pouted slightly unhappy:
"Honestly, given the shitty state of the kingdom in the past, if I hadn't joined the Cleanup Bureau, I would have most likely joined the rebels. By then, I would have been one of the people who assassinated you and your father, and I would have definitely been the most reckless one."
"is it?"
After hearing what Leon said, Queen Veronica couldn't help but blinked, then leaned into his arms, smiled and whispered in his ear:
"On average, there is one assassination every two months, and each assassination lasts one night?"
"..."
No... I was just about to talk about value, where did you change the subject... and there are children next to us.
After coughing awkwardly, Leon turned his head to look at Melanie who was secretly listening beside him, and started to talk nonsense:
"Well...did your sister Anna call you just now?"
"..."
I forget my sister when I see sex!
Seeing that after being so affectionate with his sister-in-law, the scumbag elder brother actually began to dislike his sister for being in the way, the Original Sin Rose God couldn't help but roll his eyes.
I have my own eyes, okay? How could I not know whether Sister Anna called me or not? You just don't like me being next to you, delaying your time with sister-in-law... Long live sister-in-law!
After seeing her sister-in-law raise her head from her eldest brother's arms and mouth the words "tax reduction is possible", the reluctant look on the face of the Original Sin Rose God immediately changed back to her usual smiling face.
"Sister Anna called me? Then I'll go check it out... Ellie, let's go!"
Under the influence of the secret of tax reduction, Melanie's subjective initiative was unprecedentedly exerted. Not only did she eliminate herself who was in the way, she even dragged away the silent little Ellie next to her.
You really are... a scumbag sister who only cares about money and not her brother...
Looking at Melanie running up to the deck like a husky out of a cage, dragging little Ellie who was hurriedly holding down her hat, Leon couldn't help but sigh in silence, then lowered his head to look at Veronica in his arms. "Don't worry, when I bought the goods in bulk for Melanie, I deliberately added a layer of profit."
Knowing what Leon wanted to say, Queen Veronica gently arched her head towards him, hiding from the sea breeze, and said with a smile:
"The profit margin that was specially added to her before was to reduce it at this time. It doesn't count as taking care of her with the kingdom's money. After all, after deducting the tax reduction just now, Melanie's purchase price and the taxes she needs to pay are exactly the same as those of the other merchants who came with the ship this time."
"..."
Good man, it turns out it’s all a routine…
"Although I also want to stay alone with you for a while, it's better not to be too long~"
After raising her head from Leon's arms and looking at Melanie running towards Anna on the deck, Veronica reminded her gently:
“Although she and William are very special, they are still children after all, and it’s best if they are not separated from others…
Lyon, the ship is different from the land. When it encounters waves, it will suddenly become bumpy. Even if I arrange for a female official to follow them, there won't be any serious danger, but it's not good to bump into them. "
"Don't worry, it's okay."
Leon, who dared to send the Great Rose God away, naturally had thought about the safety issue. After reaching out and touching the railing of the boat to confirm that [Hurricane Johnson] was still working normally, Leon explained:
"After all, there are a lot of people coming this time, and I was afraid that I couldn't take care of them all, so I specially asked my new colleague to help."
"New colleagues?"
"There's a new guy who just joined our branch the day before yesterday. There's a bald guy. His ability is that when he's driving, his passengers won't be in danger..."
After briefly explaining the effects of [Johnson], Leon said with a smile:
"Before I set off, I asked the director for an unusual object, and connected the entire ship to Johnson's carriage. Now he is driving the ship, and everyone on the ship is his passenger. As long as the ship doesn't stop, it's absolutely safe."
"I see……"
After listening to Leon's explanation, Queen Veronica couldn't help but blink, and then suddenly realized and said:
"No wonder you insisted that I change the name of this ship Prince of Lyon to the Carriage before we set off, and also hang a carriage license plate on the side of the ship. So that's why."
"..."
Well... not entirely. In addition to changing my name to take advantage of the [Johnson] effect, it was also because my name was used as the name of a newly launched ship, which always felt a bit weird...
"That's right!"
After skipping the awkward name change issue, feeling the sea breeze blowing in his face, and looking at the railing that was just the right height in front of them, Leon couldn't help but have a sudden idea. In Veronica's puzzled eyes, he put his arm around her waist and lifted her up a little.
"Come on, step on the railing and open your arms...yes, that's it."
After directing the curious Veronica to step onto the railing in front of them, Leon supported her body from behind, held her arms and slowly opened them to both sides, completing a very authentic... but not very auspicious COS. Then, when he was about to say something, he heard a familiar noise in his ears.
[On the bow of a huge ship with a displacement of more than 40,000 tons and leaving the port for the first time, you performed a classic pose with a person of the opposite sex. You successfully activated the silver-level hidden badge "Man and Woman on the Big Ship"]
Damn it? !
