Chapter 249
A little later.
"Is Your Highness still cold? Do you want to add another piece of clothing?"
"No... no need..."
Hearing Leon's inquiry, the Princess, who was wrapped in an old coat, wearing cotton gloves, holding a hot water bag, and holding a warm puppy in her arms, couldn't help but shake her head slightly, then said with a complicated expression:
"Actually, I didn't get cold to this extent... Speaking of which, are you afraid of the cold? Why do you carry so many things to keep warm?"
"Not only things to keep warm, I also brought things to avoid heat."
In the milky sound of the puppy's barking, the carriage window beside Leon flashed slightly, and a sun hat and two old silk fans appeared in his hands one after another. Immediately after, a small iron basin filled with milky white shaved ice even fell down.
"..."
Carrying fans and shaved ice in winter? What are you trying to do?
In the Princess's speechless expression, Leon explained calmly:
"You know, the work of our Cleanup Bureau is very special. We often encounter various unexpected situations. For example, the seniors of the Celestial Harp Branch have been frozen in the polar region for two years because of accidents.
I am worried that I will also encounter similar extreme situations when I go out on missions one day, so I prepared more in advance and carried some food, drinks, and tools with me, so that I can deal with it when the time comes...
By the way, do you want to taste a bite of shaved ice? It's mixed with coconut syrup, it's very sweet."
"No... no need..."
After declining Leon's kindness to share, the Princess, who deliberately froze for more than half an hour on the side of the road in order to have an excuse to flirt with the man, had to drink a large mouthful of hot water prepared by Leon with a black face, then fiercely hugged the puppy in her arms and kissed it hard in revenge.
Forget it, I didn't get to hug the dog man, so hugging his dog is not bad... um... speaking of which, this little thing is really quite cute~
"Princess Veronica."
In the barking protest of the puppy that was ravaged, Leon lowered his head and looked at the ticket in his hand, then took the initiative to ask:
"The Morning Star Troupe you want to watch, what plays will be performed today?"
"Of course it is those most classic works of Master Wang Erde!"
Contrary to Leon's expectation, the fact that the "ticket-delivering maid" said that the Princess liked Master Wang Erde's works seemed not to be entirely an excuse.
Mentioning the play that was about to be watched, Princess Veronica's eyes lit up, holding the puppy that was shaking its head and tail and struggling, and counted them like family treasures:
"The one that must be watched every time is Master Wang Erde's famous work "Lady Helena," which tells about a forbidden love between the former great sculptor Lady Helena and her most outstanding disciple.
Especially Lady Helena, who has experienced many storms and is gentle and calm, when she couldn't restrain the throbbing in her heart for the first time under the fiery and sincere pursuit of her disciple, there is a hidden beauty of betrayal mixed with holiness.
And for the sake of her family and the disciple's future, she could only choose to refuse the boy's heart, cruelly driving him away, but when he left dejectedly, she trembled and missed for the first time, accidentally destroying the work she had carved for several years, which has unparalleled impact!
After the statue was destroyed, the suppressed sobbing that came out uncontrollably, whether it was for the destruction of years of hard work or for the farewell to the true love of her life, simply made people hurt so much that they wanted to pull their hearts out.
Later, when she picked up the carving knife with tears in her eyes and continued to modify the destroyed statue, she found that the face of the statue, which she had carved countless times, actually looked more and more like the lover she had refused, and finally could only touch the face of the statue and cry dejectedly, which is an eternal classic in the history of drama!"
After introducing her favorite work excitedly, it seemed that she was afraid that Leon would not like this kind of abusive drama, the Princess hurriedly continued to promote:
"Leon, if you want to watch some relaxed plays, then in Master Wang Erde's works, there are also romantic comedies like "Twelve Days Together" and "Rent."
"Twelve Days Together" is an early masterpiece of Master Wang Erde, which tells about the young Elijah who resisted the marriage arranged by his family, secretly left home before marriage and ran to a seaside city, but because he didn't know where to play, he hired the beautiful waitress Agatha in a local tavern and asked her to be his temporary guide.
The two knew each other in the eleven days of traveling together and finally fell in love with each other. But just when Elijah wanted to give up the loveless marriage and bravely pursue his happiness, Agatha was caught by a mysterious person by the sea. For the safety of his lover, Elijah could only go home to get married, trying to find Agatha with the power of his fiancée's family.
However, what is unbelievable is that when Elijah, for the sake of his lover's safety, held the intention of giving up love and married his family-arranged wife, the person who appeared at the wedding scene was Agatha, who also hated the arranged marriage and escaped, but because her whereabouts were exposed, she was forcibly caught home to get married...
How about it? Does it sound exciting? Can't wait?"
"..."
Looking at the Princess whose eyes were flashing with expectation and seemed to be very eager to get an affirmative answer, Leon couldn't help but grin.
To tell the truth... it sounds okay, but the biggest highlights of these two plays, you just told me in a few words...
Looking at the Princess who was eager to recommend the play she liked, but spoiled the plot without knowing it, Leon smiled helplessly and nodded in cooperation.
"It is indeed very interesting... Are we watching these today?"
"Yes! One "Twelve Days Together," one "Lady Helena," after both are finished, it will be dark."
The Princess who succeeded in the promotion smiled brilliantly, holding the puppy and full of happiness:
"I knew it, absolutely no one can resist Master Wang Erde's works... Leon, believe me, although the Morning Star Troupe has had some things recently and the lead actor can't perform, it is much less colorful than before, but there is still Master Wang Erde's script, I guarantee you will absolutely not regret it!"
Good fellow, you are usually so busy, but you can still pay attention to the actor changes of a troupe. It seems that what the maid said is true, you are really the ultimate iron fan of that master.
Although he hadn't seen the play yet, he had already been spoiled by someone for seven or eight, but looking at the Princess who was much more "real" than before, Leon felt inexplicably not so resistant to this dragon's den and tiger's den trip.
"Then I will believe you."
Smiled at the Princess, and after the carriage began to slow down until it stopped steadily on the side of the road, Leon threw the warm clothing and the puppy into the window first, then got off the carriage first, and then turned to hand out his palm to the Princess.
"Let's go, I hope we can have a worthwhile trip today."
