Chapter 248

This is...

Looking at the hand-painted ticket in his hand, which was painted with a misty starry sky with watercolor, and a small rose mark in the corner, Leon asked in confusion:

"You mean... the Princess invited me to watch a play?"

"Yes."

Curiously peeking at the sheep head on Leon's desk, the maid sent by the Princess bowed slightly, her expression respectful:

"Master Wang Erde's Morning Star Troupe will perform his most classic play at the Central Cross Theater today. The opportunity is very rare.

Princess Veronica likes Master Wang Erde's works very much, and after learning this news, she thought of you for the first time, so she hopes you can spare some time this afternoon to accompany her to enjoy the performance of the Morning Star Troupe."

"..."

I believe your ghost!

Recalling himself who was confused when breaking off the engagement before, Leon's face suddenly turned black, and he became vigilant instinctively.

A super workaholic who treats the bedroom as an office, with nothing but documents on the bookshelf, not even a leisure book, would be a drama lover?

Forget it!

As long as you are not a fool, you can see that this invitation is clearly not about the play, she is 100% aimed at him!

Relying on his superior vigilance, Leon keenly identified the "murderous intent" behind this ticket, shook his head directly, and returned the ticket.

"Please tell her that I am going to work overtime today."

Before, when he suddenly came to break off the engagement without her preparation, it must have caught her off guard, but even so, he was fooled by her until he almost got the certificate on the spot.

This time she is clearly prepared. If he dares to accompany her to watch the play, it is estimated that it will be dinner, shopping, buying clothes, pressing the road, watching the scenery... Oh, it's so late, why don't you stay home today, etc., etc., and then be completely tied to death by her!

If this play is watched, he will probably not be able to come back!

"Your Excellency the Duke, please don't rush to refuse."

Seeming to have known what would happen, the maid who came to deliver the ticket was not surprised by Leon's refusal, but said softly with a smile:

"Your sister, Miss Anna, although her body has recovered, she has been sick for so many years, so her body is not particularly healthy, and she should be carefully adjusted. And Princess Veronica just happens to be able to find the best pharmacist in the capital..."

Hearing the maid's words, Leon frowned and said:

"So, her meaning is, if I want to help Anna adjust her body, then as an exchange, I must accompany her to watch the play today?"

"No! No! Please don't misunderstand!"

Hearing this, the maid shook her head hurriedly:

"Princess Veronica said that she has made a similar mistake in front of you once, and she will definitely not make this mistake again. She will definitely treat you with sincerity in the future and will not play small tricks with you again.

No matter if you go to watch the play today or not, Miss Anna's body will get the best care. Miss Anna's matter has nothing to do with her invitation to you. Princess Veronica sent someone to invite the pharmacist this morning."

"..."

"Also, besides adjusting Miss Anna's body, she is asking people to contact several senior teachers to ensure that your younger brother and sister can get better education without transferring schools.

And besides that, there is the funding for the Cleanup Bureau next year, which will be adjusted to the greatest extent, etc., etc. Princess Veronica told me that these are not gifts or flattery, but apologies for what happened before.

At that time, she was anxious for a moment and played some not-so-good small tricks with you. She felt very guilty about this, so she wanted to do something for you to make up for her mistakes, and also hoped that you would not refuse and could give her a chance to compensate you."

"..."

Is she compensating me? She is welding the ticket directly to my hand!

After listening to the maid's "paraphrase," Leon couldn't help but let out a long sigh, knowing that he probably had to watch this play this afternoon.

Only one night passed, and the Princess had already done so many things, and in order not to stimulate his self-esteem, she didn't even admit "favor" or even "showing favor," and insisted on saying it was to make up for the last mistake, hoping that he would give her a chance to compensate...

She has done this, and even put her posture so low without asking for return. Can he still be embarrassed to not even accompany her to watch a play?

"Alright..."

It is also exerting force from the family he cares about most, and it is showing the greatest sincerity as soon as it comes up, and then putting down the posture and showing favor without asking for return... It feels like his weakness has been completely seen through by her...

Under the fierce offensive of the Princess, Leon, whose skin was not thick enough to that extent, had to silently put away the tickets on the table, preparing to bite the bullet and break into this dragon's den and tiger's den.

"Actually, watching a play is also quite good... Where should I find her?"

Seeing him helplessly accept the tickets, the maid who delivered the tickets smiled, then got up and saluted, raised her hand to lead the way outside the door, and answered softly:

"Princess Veronica's carriage is now parked on the main road outside the Police Department. You can go directly over. The Princess should be waiting for you in the carriage."

"..."

Good fellow, she actually killed directly to the door... So she knew from the beginning that after I got the benefits, I would definitely be embarrassed and agree to accompany her to watch the play, right?

This woman is really... her brain may not be very smart, but she really understands human nature too well. She only met him a few times, and she found a way to pinch him.

Since he can't resist, he can only enjoy it. Leon, who was arranged clearly by the Princess, had to leave the Cleanup Bureau with the "Dragon's Den and Tiger's Den Pass" and found the carriage parked at the intersection under the guidance of the maid.

"Here! Here!"

After seeing Leon's figure, the Princess, wearing a velvet long skirt, leaned out of the carriage window, waved at him vigorously, and then took the initiative to push open the carriage door, let it inside the carriage, and said happily:

"I thought you would be angry with me and wouldn't accompany me to the theater... Leon, you are so good!"

"..."

Still I am so good... Don't mess around, okay? This is clearly planned by you. If you weren't sure that I would definitely come, how could you spend time waiting here?

However, although he saw through the Princess's little tricks at a glance, looking at the beautiful face that was slightly red because of waiting on the side of the road, and the brilliant smile that appeared because of his arrival, the little depression in Leon's heart because he was "forced" to come couldn't help but dissipate instantly uncontrollably.

How to say... for some people, you know clearly that she is likely pretending, and even this smile may not be completely true, but you just can't be angry with her because of this.

Even thinking that she spent so much thought and made so many efforts just to get your favor, and even in her heart she might be a little moved, even if she knows it is likely fake, she is willing to be a fool who doesn't understand anything and accompany her to act like this...

Hiss! Leon, Leon, hurry up and wake up! This fool can't be done!

Taking a deep breath of cold air, forcibly suppressing the throbbing in his heart, Leon silently boarded the carriage and asked as calmly as possible:

"Princess, today..."

"Call me Veronica."

After sniffing her nose, which was a bit red because of waiting on the side of the road, Princess Veronica took the initiative to hold Leon's arm, her plump and soft body leaned over slightly, and her voice said with a bit of begging:

"It's really cold today, Leon, can you let me lean for a while? Just for a little while!"

"..."
