Chapter 1401: Local specialties

Ah this...

Looking at Veronica, who was pinching her waist with one hand and indeed had some annoyance in her eyes, Leon couldn't help but recall the scene before, then hurriedly explained:

"Because of the 【Gluttony】 bloodline problem, her situation is relatively special. If her appetite cannot be satisfied, even her soul will be affected... so...

She hadn't digested after eating too much... I asked someone for some leftover cake... there were no other tableware around... then she... I didn't think much either, and just stuffed a piece over, and it happened to be seen by you."

"Alright."

After listening to Leon's explanation, Queen Veronica hummed, then nodded slightly:

"Since the situation is special, then you pass! But this kind of thing..."

"This kind of thing definitely won't happen next time!"

"Next time? How many more weddings do you want to have?"

"Ah no! No next time, no next time!"

After finally coaxing Queen Veronica, Leon breathed a sigh of relief, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

Taking advantage of the opportunity to be reasonable to make trouble, in order to enjoy the feeling of being carefully coaxed, seems to be the talent skill of the vast majority of women. Even Veronica, who is rational and calm, cannot be exempt from this kind of time...

"Why don't you talk? Dear, what are you thinking about?"

"Ah, nothing."

Leon's expression straightened immediately upon hearing this, and he immediately synchronized and unlocked the talent skill of a married man who talks nonsense, coaxing sincerely:

"I was thinking about you. You are really too understanding. If it were someone else, I'm afraid they would have made a big scene with me at that time. You are actually willing to give me a chance to explain. I am really not generally lucky to be able to marry such a smart wife."

"That's not necessarily true~"

Looking at Leon, who had no flaws on his face, Queen Veronica couldn't help but smile:

"A wife who is too smart may not necessarily be a good thing for you."

"Ah?"

"For example, if you really do something to let me down, the consequences will definitely be very, very serious!"

Queen Veronica laughed:

"After you leave, I will immediately invest in Melany's business, directly become her largest shareholder, and then take William to see the mecha, and give him the permission to freely enter and exit the royal library and some government halls."

"?!!!"

(｀Д)!!

Looking at Leon, who suddenly widened his eyes and seemed to understand something, Queen Veronica smiled, then continued:

"Besides that, Anna seems to be very concerned about the new poorhouse being rebuilt behind your apartment, and she is a very kind child, indeed suitable for doing this.

If she is interested, I will help her find a qualified teacher, arrange some capable assistants, and directly hand over the new poorhouse to her, and then slowly expand it into the largest public welfare department in the capital."

"Uh..."

Leon blinked upon hearing this, then bit the bullet and said:

"Aren't these very good?"

"Yes, it's very good under normal circumstances."

After holding Leon's palm and shaking it lightly, Queen Veronica rubbed the ring on his hand, leaned her head into Leon's arms, and smiled:

"However, if you encounter special circumstances, such as their big brother doing something to let their big sister-in-law down... then whose younger sister and younger brother they are, it's not so easy to say~"

"Hiss..."

Imagining the scene described by Queen Veronica, Leon couldn't help but gasp, feeling that his "life root" in the conceptual sense seemed to have been grabbed by someone.

If... it's just if! If something similar really happened, even if Anna and the others wouldn't really not recognize him as their big brother, but facing the big sister-in-law who gave them strong support for their "career" and was also wronged, his original family status would probably immediately become family status! The position of big brother would be lost on the spot!

What a terrible woman, she grabbed his lifeline as soon as she came up. No wonder those envoys were so wary when talking to her...

"Alright, look at how scared you are!"

After looking at Leon's serious expression, Queen Veronica couldn't help but giggle, then slightly stood on tiptoe and tapped him on the corner of his mouth.

"I'm joking~ You wouldn't really do anything to let me down. There's no need to worry about this kind of thing."

"..."

Understood, although Veronica said she didn't care, she was actually still a bit angry. The reason she said these things was probably to retaliate against him for feeding Melly cake before...

"This is not retaliation~"

Seeing through Leon's thoughts at a glance, Queen Veronica smiled:

"This is just a reminder~

I believe you didn't have any other ideas before, just found that the soul of that Princess Melisandre had a problem, and thought less in a hurry. And after I reminded you once like this, you can think more next time you encounter a similar situation, right?"

"..."

Right! Too right! After all, if I don't think more, my home will be copied by you in a blink of an eye...

After playing a hand of vertical and horizontal alliance in front of him, and performing a play of training husband like governing a big country, Veronica didn't continue to hold onto the matter of feeding cake, but asked a few things she could do to help, then urged him to pay attention to safety twice, then took the initiative to release Leon's palm and said softly:

"Go do your work, I also have to do what I should do."

"Mm."

After nodding, looking at her reluctant eyes, Leon thought for a while, then reminded:

"By the way, didn't you say before that you wanted me to promise you one thing?"

"Hmm... right, there is indeed this matter, but it should not be needed now."

Queen Veronica nodded upon hearing this, then explained with a light smile:

"The thing I wanted you to promise at that time was to pay a little attention to the distance when getting along with that Princess Melisandre, and don't accidentally have something happen."

Good guy, still thinking about that?

Leon blinked upon hearing this, raised his hand and swore helplessly:

"Isn't this all explained? In my eyes, she is just a child about the same as Melany. I really don't have this intention."

"I know, and I believe you."

Queen Veronica said softly:

"However, even if you don't have ideas, and that Princess Melisandre only treats you as a playmate now, what if her ideas change in the future, and she falls in love with you after her heart opens?"

Leon couldn't help but laugh:

"I am not Jin Lun, how could I be liked by people casually? Rather than liking me, she probably likes braised pork trotters more."

"That's not necessarily true~"

Reaching out to support Leon's cheek and looking at him with appreciation for a while, Queen Veronica laughed:

"The man I chose is the best. As long as she is a woman with normal vision, how could she not like you?"

"You are too exaggerated..."

"No~ I just think so~"

After teasing him twice while stroking Leon's cheek, Queen Veronica withdrew her palm and said thoughtfully:

"Although this condition is no longer needed, it's a pity that you finally promised to do something for me, so just give it up like this... How about this!"

Hammering her palm lightly, Queen Veronica looked up at Leon and asked with a smile:

"Because the relationship is relatively tense, I have never been to the North Kingdom... Leon, bring me some local specialties from Hot River City when you come back this time!"
