Chapter 162 Where Are the People? Are They All Dead?
Faced with the sudden appearance of the princess who suddenly killed the "Game" with one sentence, everyone in the entire Lane Manor was stunned.
From the freckled prince who was knocked to the ground to the middle-aged lady who almost fainted on the spot behind the princess, the only expression that everyone who witnessed this scene could make was to widen their eyes uncontrollably, and then Open your mouth instinctively...
"ah???????"
[Witnessed by Prince Joshua and half of the kingdom’s nobles, the first princess Veronica personally agreed to your proposal, and you received the gold-level status badge "Prince of Dong"]
[Prince of Thrush: The prince of the Thrush Kingdom and the husband of the first princess Veronica. Although you are not qualified to inherit the throne, your words and actions can already represent the will of the royal family to a certain extent]
[Wearing effect: As a prince with a respected status, you can ask anyone with a lower status than you to salute you within the territory of the Thrush Kingdom]
[Advanced route: If the marriage to Princess Veronica is maintained for a long time and there is no divorce until she inherits the throne, this badge will automatically be upgraded to the different-color badge "The Man Behind the Queen (Off-White)"]
[Hidden characteristics (no need to wear): Since this is a purely political marriage, Princess Veronica only has a good impression of you and lacks a deep enough emotional foundation between them, so she will not interfere too much in your private life. 】
"..."
She is actually a princess?
After turning off the new badge that automatically popped up, Leon couldn't help but open his mouth as he looked at the plump beauty striding towards him from outside the door, not knowing what to say for a moment.
The investigators from the Cleanup Bureau just left yesterday, and the suspicion of belonging to Ryan Bloody Night has not been cleared. At this time, it stands to reason that we should be more cautious and get rid of the identity of Duke Lionheart as soon as possible.
But...this is a golden badge! Moreover, there is still a clear progression route, and there is a high probability that you can reach the heterochromatic one. If you change your mind immediately now, this badge will not be taken back, right?
…
"Sorry, this visit is a bit sudden and has disturbed everyone."
On the stage, Leon was still worrying about gains and losses, and when he was hesitating whether to advance or retreat, a certain princess who had made a big deal had already passed through the crowd and walked quickly to the main stage.
After nodding her head to the nobles who were stunned by her sudden appearance, Princess Veronica gently picked up the hem of her simple dress, bent her knees and bowed her head to perform an elegant yet solemn lady's ceremony.
Then he straightened his neck like a swan again, turned around lightly, and stretched out his pure white arms covered with tulle towards Lyon, who had a complicated expression on the stage. He stared into his eyes with red cheeks and conveyed directly with his eyes. There was a kind of determination that was like burning the boat.
Originally, I just wanted to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that such a big pie was waiting for me. The man in front of me, who was several years younger than me, was the last piece of the puzzle to save the kingdom!
If you can successfully take over the political legacy of the Lionheart family with the help of your marriage to him, it will be worth it even if you completely offend the old aristocracy today, or even attract a crazy assassination from the rebellious gang!
"No! I don't agree!"
Seeing that the man on the stage hesitated for a moment, and then actually held the hand extended by his sister, a certain old prince with a swollen left face couldn't help but tremble all over, and his eyes showed a deep look of fear. Immediately and loudly raised objections!
As a child of the king, political literacy is naturally the most important required course. Although Joshua is arrogant and irritable, he is not a complete idiot. After experiencing the initial shock, he immediately reacted to this The meaning of "holding hands".
If that damn Lionheart Duke really succeeded in marrying Veronica at the expense of the entire Ryan family, it would be equivalent to half of the kingdom falling into the hands of his sister, and then his and her status would be reversed in an instant. , but became the one who was completely abandoned by his father!
If Veronica was more cruel, let alone inherit the throne, she might be thrown directly across the sea to feed the monkeys!
no! No matter what happens today, she must not succeed! no way!
"Veronica!"
After shouting twice in succession and gathering everyone's attention, the Freckles Prince sternly reprimanded, ignoring the painful slap marks on his face:
"Father has already determined the scope of the prince for you in advance, and you must choose among those people! If you agree to Duke Lionheart's proposal now, it is tantamount to disobeying your father's order!"
"Is it?"
Looking at the freckled prince who suddenly jumped out to disrupt the situation, Veronica raised the corners of her mouth, continued to stretch out her arms to Leon, and replied unhurriedly:
"I can't help it. His Excellency Duke Lionheart is brave, kind, young and handsome, especially the way he slaps others, which made me fall in love at first sight. Since love comes so suddenly, I have no choice but to live up to my father's hard work.
Besides, as his most beloved daughter, if I am a little willful in my life-long matters, he will not blame me, and he will probably even be happy for my happiness... Are you right? ,Joshua? "
Hearing his sister's thoughtful response, the freckled prince couldn't help but darken his face.
damn it! That old guy will indeed be happy, but not because of your bullshit happiness, but because the leader of the old aristocracy suddenly became insane and led the Ministry of Highways and the Military to the royal family!
Trouble, it seems that she has made up her mind to seize the opportunity and swallow up the Ryan family's inheritance in one gulp. This road is probably blocked!
"Where are the people in the Ryan family?"
Seeing that her sister was determined to marry the Lionheart Duke, even if she moved out her father, she couldn't suppress her, and the Lionheart Duke was so bold that he couldn't be afraid of his threats. Joshua, unwilling to give up, immediately changed his target and began to look for the actual controller of the Ryan family, hoping to put pressure on a damn duke through them.
Looking coldly at the group of little golden retrievers around him, the freckled prince didn't even pretend. While trying to find someone who could make the decision, he asked loudly with a fierce look:
"Is there no one in your Ryan family? Just watch this bastard duke make trouble? Are you willing to let him hand over the entire Ryan family?"
However, even though he had torn his face, no one from the Ryan family stood up. The only response to him was silence, and the guests whispered and whispered.
"Speak up!"
Seeing that the people of the Ryan family didn't come out at this time, the anxious freckled prince couldn't help but get angry and shouted:
"Are you really just standing there? Are all the people of the Ryan family dead? There is not even one person who dares to stand up and stop him from making trouble?"
"..."
"Don't look for it, there is really no one in the Ryan family."
Looking at this wolf cub who was madly baring its teeth and trying to find someone to suppress it, Leon on the stage was silent for a while, and couldn't help but remind him with a strange expression:
"The former Duke's butler had a heart attack and is receiving emergency treatment in the carriage outside; the only remaining elder is relatively old, and he fainted directly when I slapped you just now because he couldn't resist the stimulation;
As for the new head of the family, when your sister agreed to my proposal, I seemed to see him lying down with his heart covered... Look, the one lying at the door should be him."
"..."
Ah? ? ? ? ? ? ?
