"Alright!"

After hearing Princess Veronica's answer, the lady-in-waiting nodded and wrote vigorously. On the other side, the attendant reminded with some hesitation:

"Your Highness, the Northern Kingdom's position adjacent to Laien County seems to have had unusual movements recently.

You specifically reminded us last time that what the kingdom needs most right now is time. If you encounter similar sensitive situations, you must handle them cautiously and try not to stimulate them, so... should the wording of the reply be considered slightly?"

"No need, just write it as it is now!"

Princess Veronica shook her head upon hearing this, then explained:

"The news that the Kroke Kingdom encountered a once-in-a-millennium tsunami and we received all the affected citizens is now slowly spreading, so the Northern Kingdom sending people to attend my wedding is not at all to congratulate me, but to come and get a share of the pie.

It is definitely not okay not to share these precious technologies Li Ang brought back, but they absolutely cannot be shared with the Northern Kingdom. As long as their food and climate problems are not solved, they will inevitably continue to have wars with us. In addition..."

When she said this, she hesitated slightly, then pursed her lips and said:

"In addition, I hope this wedding can be... purer, without mixing in too many messy political games, and try to drag these things until after the wedding to handle.

How about this, if other kingdoms send similar letters, then when you reply to each kingdom, you can hint a few words outside the wording and tell them my thoughts implicitly."

"I have noted it."

After nodding and responding, the attendant buried her head in the table and wrote vigorously, while stealing a glance at the lady-in-waiting on the other side, and then saw the same meaningful look on the other's face.

According to Princess Veronica's past utilitarian style of "making the best use of everything," she should only take advantage of the "geographical advantage" of the wedding to move horizontally and vertically, and fight to the death with the envoys of various countries who have ghosts in their hearts.

However, this time she actually gave up the advantage brought by the wedding, preferring to kill three points of her own sharpness for no reason, and also strive for a "pure" wedding. It seems that it is probably...

Loved quite miserably~

And not just ordinarily miserable!

"Hmm? What kind of expression is that?"

"Nothing, nothing, I'm just looking at her makeup, it's drawn quite well."

"That... she's a little sleepy, we're cheering each other up, oh hehe."

"..."

You two are really...

After looking at the lady-in-waiting whose face was as serious as before, but actually showed a hint of playfulness, Princess Veronica, whose earlobes were slightly flushed, smiled, and then admitted generously:

"The situation is exactly as you think. After all, that is an important day that should only happen once in a lifetime.

Although I am a princess, I am also an ordinary woman. Naturally, I would hope that when I recall that day many years later, there will be fewer things like intrigue, and try to leave behind more beautiful memories. Is there anything wrong with that?"

Right! Of course right!

After looking with admiration at the princess who did not cover up her thoughts and expressed her ideas generously, seeing that she didn't seem to avoid talking about this problem, the attendant couldn't hold back her curiosity and asked with a face full of gossip:

"Your Highness, you and that Prince Li Ang... how exactly did you meet?"

How did we meet?

Princess Veronica was slightly startled upon hearing this, thought for a while, and then told the truth:

"We first met at his ceremony of succeeding as Duke. At that time, we encountered rebels... hmm... in short, something happened, and later we slowly became familiar."

"If it was the succession ceremony... wasn't that only two months ago?"

After hearing Princess Veronica's words, the attendant couldn't help but say with a look of surprise:

"Your Highness, so you have only known each other for two months, and you like him to this extent? Even willing to change yourself for him?"

"..."

Although, even if the situation is indeed like this, it seems that I have always behaved a bit too easily...

Facing the attendant's surprised expression, Princess Veronica couldn't help but secretly bite her lip, then opened her mouth with flushed cheeks:

"Some things are not about the length of time. If you also meet the right person, you should know that many times... hmm... this kind of thing is actually not that complicated, it's basically a matter of one glance..."

"So it really was love at first sight?!"

The lady-in-waiting on the other side, who was pricking up her ears to eavesdrop, couldn't help but exclaim upon hearing this, then said with a face full of envy:

"I have indeed heard that Prince Li Ang proposed to you the first time he saw you. I didn't expect it to be true!"

"Wow! Worthy of being the most beautiful rose in the capital! Love at first sight, I only saw it in books before!"

"..."

The proposal is true, but according to the situation I asked about later, he should have wanted to find an excuse to get rid of the identity of the Lionheart Duke, but it just happened to be caught by me on the spot...

Facing the envious eyes of the two, Princess Veronica, who had always been open and generous, felt her cheeks flush slightly, and for once, she didn't explain the misunderstanding clearly, but chose to default.

Actually... I'm not trying to save face, and it's not some woman's vanity, it's just... hmm... it's just that these things, after all, involve Li Ang's secrets, so of course I can't talk about them casually. Hmm, that's it!

Although it was late at night, supported by the burning soul of gossip, the two no longer felt sore backs or aching waists, and pulled Princess Veronica, who was refusing to welcome, to chat with high spirits.

"So it was Prince Li Ang who fell in love with you first!"

"It's not about liking or not liking... but he did propose to me very quickly, hmm... and he was particularly sincere, shouting very loudly, resisting all the opposition from the Laien family, saying that he had set his heart on me and would not marry anyone else in this life!"

"Wow!"

"Is it that romantic?"

The two exclaimed in unison, satisfying the vanity of a certain princess to a great extent, and then immediately continued to ask questions.

"Then when did you fall in love with him?"

"This... has to be a little later. After all, I have always been very traditional, how could I agree just because someone pursued me?"

Because she had always been in a "weak position" in her relationship with Li Ang and was always being pushed away by others, Princess Veronica, who rarely "had the upper hand," simply took the opportunity to enjoy it fiercely, and told with a reserved expression:

"No way, he pursued too enthusiastically, even directly using the entire Laien family as a betrothal gift, I really couldn't refuse."

"Oh my, this... this is too... is that how you agreed?"

"Agreed? How could I agree? I'm not that frivolous a woman, but no way, he was really too clingy."

After sighing helplessly, Princess Veronica said with a look of difficulty:

"You don't know, Li Ang looks a bit cold, but he is actually very enthusiastic when pursuing people. He not only comes to find me every few days, but also makes appointments with me when he is busy to death, and even occasionally sneaks into the Wang Gong at night..."

"Ah! So exciting!"

"This... this is too bold!"

"This is bold? The bold part is still to come!"

For the first time in her life, she was bragging happily without worrying about being discovered. The princess, who was flushed with excitement, smiled, looked up at the bright moon hanging high outside the window, and said with dignity and reserve:

"Still remember the last time the moon was this round, he... he... he..."

"..."

"???"

After waiting for a long time without seeing the following, the lady-in-waiting, whose heart was itching, couldn't help but ask in confusion:

"What happened to him? Say it quickly!"

He... he... why did he come here!
