Chapter 242

Is this the Princess's bedroom?

Under the guidance of the maid, after being brought into the Princess's bedroom, even though it was a bit impolite, Leon still couldn't help but look at the layout of the room.

Unlike the room of a certain freckled prince, which was golden and looked expensive at a glance, the Princess's bedroom was more like another office than a bedroom.

A surprisingly large desk, paired with a bookcase filled with various documents, occupied nearly 40% of the space, and on the side of the desk was a huge drawing board with dozens of memos and precautions listed in ink pen.

In the iron filing cabinet next to the drawing board, there was a pile of document books with seals and signatures, and at the bottom were half-a-person-high blank papers, as well as a large number of unopened ink bottles. It seemed that two bottles were accidentally broken, staining a large piece of the wool carpet black.

This is a workaholic through and through...

Looking at the wrinkled nightgown on the chair, and the thick blanket on the bed that was clearly slept in but not organized, piled up in a mess, Leon couldn't help but blink, feeling that his impression of the Princess had collapsed a little bit.

Princess Veronica, who is dignified, steady, mature, and beautiful in the newspaper, is actually a bit sloppy in private... um... there are several unwashed coffee cups on the table, which look like they have been there for several days, and the remaining coffee inside has already solidified on the cups.

"This... please don't misunderstand."

Finding Leon staring at the coffee cups on the table, the maid hurriedly spoke to explain for the Princess:

"There are too many important things in Princess Veronica's bedroom, so we are generally not allowed to come in. Because it is not easy for us to come in and clean up, the Princess usually handles it herself.

But this visit was quite sudden, and a lot of work piled up. The Princess was busy as soon as she came back, so it looked a bit messy. The Princess is actually a very clean person."

Yes, visiting outside.

The few days when the Princess suddenly "disappeared," after the modification of the Evil God's Brain and the Illusion Can, had become a sudden secret visit.

Except for the Princess, who was the person involved, and Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, who had been beaten three times before and after because of the Princess's forgetting event, no one else knew what really happened in these few days.

No turmoil, no signs, directly modifying the memories of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people silently, this thing is really terrifying...

"I see..."

After nodding towards the maid, Leon sighed at the terrifying effectiveness of the Illusion Can while asking:

"Where is Princess Veronica?"

"The Princess went to the inner room to change clothes."

The maid answered:

"The time you came is indeed a bit late. It is inconvenient for the Princess to see guests in a nightgown, so..."

"It is not inconvenient to see guests, just that I took a nap earlier and sweated a bit, so I wanted to change clothes."

Accompanied by soft footsteps, the door of the inner room of the bedroom was pulled open, and the Princess, wearing a tight-fitting nightgown, walked out slowly and said to Leon with a smile:

"Besides, given our relationship, you can't be considered a guest."

"You are joking..."

After the maid took the initiative to leave, left the bedroom and closed the door, noticing a touch of white tenderness faintly revealed at the Princess's neckline, Leon couldn't help but turn his head slightly awkwardly, and then took the initiative to say:

"Your Highness, I have retrieved the memories lost during that period, so..."

"Call me Veronica."

After correcting Leon's address, the Princess reached out and pulled him towards the balcony, sat on the sofa by the bed together, and then said with a smile:

"So you came to ask about the wedding date?"

"Uh... actually I came to apologize..."

Subconsciously moving to the side, away from the warm body radiating heat beside him, Leon took a deep breath and said seriously in the soft scent of iris:

"Princess Veronica, during that period before, I didn't have the memories of that time, so I didn't know the cause and effect, but now I have remembered. Sorry, when I proposed to you at that time, it wasn't sincere."

After briefly explaining the relationship between himself and the Laien family, and the whole story of proposing to the Princess directly in order to get rid of the status of Lionheart Duke, and then forcing the Laien family to change people to be the Duke, Leon said sincerely:

"Princess Veronica, you are indeed a very outstanding woman, but this matter from beginning to end is actually just a coincidence, and I don't have any plans to start a family, so regarding the engagement between us, please reconsider."

"Okay."

After listening to Leon's words seriously, the Princess, who was politely rejected, was neither surprised nor angry, but nodded with a smile, and then asked back:

"I am willing to reconsider, but can you not rush to leave first, and sit here and accompany me to consider it together?"

"..."

Ah this... The consideration I said refers to whether this matter should be forgotten, not really wanting you to consider it...

Looking at the Princess who deliberately "misunderstood" his words, Leon opened his mouth, wanting to say something but stopping, but he really didn't find a reason to refuse, so he had to nod slightly.

"Very good, since you agreed, then let's consider why you would refuse this marriage."

It didn't seem like she was talking about her own marriage. Princess Veronica blinked at Leon and said with a smile:

"First of all, I am very confident in my appearance and figure, so it is definitely not because I am ugly and don't meet your aesthetics, right?"

Hearing Princess Veronica's words, Leon couldn't help but look at her subconsciously.

The royal blue nightgown on the Princess was tailored and dignified. Except for the shallow V-neck that was not very deep at the neckline, there was no "intense" design. It was a conservative nightgown with a high degree of wrapping, and it would be no problem to wear it directly outside.

But... for some people, no matter what the temperament of a piece of clothing is, when it appears on her, it has to give way to her own temperament.

Because of meeting the Princess leaning lazily on the back of the sofa, the shallow V-neck of this nightgown, which was originally classical and gentle, was forcibly propped up by the overly outstanding arc. When it slid to the lower edge, because of the relatively tight tailoring, it caused an extremely amazing drop.

After waiting for the soft fabric to finally ease the overly huge gap and let the arc fall steadily on the waistline, a full round moon rose up unreasonably.

Even though this round moon soon fell into the soft sofa and did not fully reveal its true face, the plump and mature beautiful lines revealed between the sofa still made people feel heart-pounding unconsciously.

"You are indeed very beautiful, but this kind of thing is very complicated, it is not to say..."

"Mr. Leon."

Gently calling Leon, naturally interrupting his resistance, Princess Veronica said with a bit of blame:

"We are not debating, but I accepted your consideration, and invited you to accompany me to seriously consider our future relationship, so don't interrupt me, okay?"

"Okay..."

"Let's continue."

After grabbing the control of the conversation back, Princess Veronica smiled cunningly, and then said:

"Since you admitted my charm, and are even attracted by me, then you resist the marriage with me, is it because my personality is very annoying?"

"No, but..."

"It's good that you don't hate me."

After grabbing the conversation again, Princess Veronica said with a smile:

"Since it is not that you don't like me, then is it because of my identity? Or the trouble that may be brought after marrying me? Or... feel that there is a problem with the reason I agreed to your proposal, feel that I am not really interested in you, but fancy the value of the Laien family behind you?"

"..."

These... actually have a little bit...

Hearing Princess Veronica take the initiative to mention these, Leon couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, then nodded slightly, acknowledging her judgment.

Even without counting his identity as a traveler, the difference between himself and Princess Veronica was unimaginably large. The cognitive differences brought about by completely different classes and experiences almost doomed that there could be no common topics. It was difficult to be bosom friends, let alone partners.

And besides that, the "nature of work" on both sides was completely unsuitable.

Needless to say, he himself, who works as a cleaner, according to the mortality rate of the Cleanup Bureau, people who dare to marry him are almost jumping on the edge of widowhood at any time. And looking at the appearance of the Princess's bedroom, she is clearly a workaholic, the kind of person who would treat her home as a second office.

If they really get together, even if they have a common language, they are destined to be separated more and gathered less. And her identity as a Princess means endless trouble. Looking at her relationship with Watching Watching Qiaoshuya, if he really gets involved in the internal struggle of the royal family, there will definitely be endless annoying things.

Most importantly, she would agree to his proposal entirely because she fancy the value of the Laien family and the support that the status of Lionheart Duke could bring her. It has nothing to do with him as a person. She wants the Lionheart Duke, not Leon Laien.

If he were really just an old noble, then she would naturally be a top-notch marriage partner. But he neither wants to seize power through noble status, nor does he hope that his life and Anna's original life will be completely disrupted. Then no matter how beautiful the Princess in front of him looks, she will not be the person suitable for him.

"I understand."

Sizing up Leon's eyes, vaguely guessing some of his thoughts, Princess Veronica pondered for a moment, then nodded:

"I probably know why you don't want to marry me. I understand your thoughts... But I have one last question."

Looking at Leon's eyes, the Princess slowly sat up straight and asked softly:

"Since I am not the wife in your ideal, can you please tell me, what kind of wife is in your ideal?"
