Chapter 564: Who is the winner?

A fool without a filter!

Seeing the solemn front hall and the undisguised anger on the little Prince's face, the Bobby Laien clan elder backstage couldn't help but curse secretly, then hurriedly walked out to replace the Bobby Laien head who had stepped on the landmine precisely, and brought a kind smile to smooth things over:

"It's all the same, all the same, don't be anxious.

Whether it is Prince Joshua or Princess Veronika, they are both the children of His Majesty the King, and naturally can represent His Majesty and the royal family. Today, whoever of the two arrives is the honor of our Bobby Laien family.

Hehe, speaking of which, the last time I saw Prince Joshua, the Prince was only seven or eight years old. In the blink of an eye, he can actually represent His Majesty the King to attend our Bobby Laien family's title succession ceremony. Time really passes quickly!"

Hmph! Can I be the same as her? You old thing who relies on your age to sell your age!

Looking at the white-haired old man who rushed out from the backstage and forced to smooth things over, Joshua, who had two small irregular freckles on his cheekbones, looking as if his face was dirty, narrowed his eyes, seemingly wanting to say something, but his waist was pinched hard by someone.

"Your Highness!"

Listening to the etiquette teacher's low call with a hint of indignation, and looking at the slightly panicked expression of his female companion, the freckled youth couldn't help but grit his teeth, swallowed the reprimand that had already surged to his mouth, and then urged with impatience:

"Then that's it! When exactly can that new Duke of yours arrive! Please ask him to be as fast as possible, don't delay our time!"

"Soon, soon! The Duke will arrive immediately!"

Seeing that he finally dealt with the arrogant and irritable little Prince, the Bobby Laien two elders couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief at the same time, then stood up to lead the guests back to their original positions, surrounding the freckled youth with smiles to exchange pleasantries, and the tense atmosphere in the hall also returned to harmony... until a noisy neighing of horses came from outside the manor.

"Duke! You finally... hmm?"

Finally seeing a certain figure, the Bobby Laien two elders, who had been waiting anxiously, hurriedly greeted him, wanting to finish the remaining procedures quickly.

However, when they greeted him, they discovered that a certain Duke had actually changed his appearance compared to when he left. Not only was the makeup on his face wiped off, the exquisite accessories on his body were removed, the specially made formal wear was changed, and even the front of his clothes was stained with a large piece!

Damn it! The Duke is dressed like a refugee, how can this ceremony start? Is this how Old York handles things?

Listening to the whispers of the guests in the hall and feeling those eyes behind him that were like thorns on his back, the Bobby Laien two elders only felt a burst of dizziness!

"Duke!"

Looking at the stains on Leon's chest, the Bobby Laien head couldn't help but ask with surprise and anger:

"What's going on with you? The makeup? The clothes? Old York?"

"Ugh..."

Seeing the desperate eyes of these two old men before him, Leon, who had almost sent the old steward away with one mouth just now, couldn't help but feel guilty, his expression somewhat embarrassed as he said:

"The old steward... his heart disease suddenly flared up, I tried hard to save him back, and now he is lying in the carriage. The stain on my chest is the foam he spat out when he had the attack..."

Ah this... he was fine when he left just now, and he actually had an attack so coincidentally?

After hearing Leon's explanation, the Bobby Laien two elders couldn't help but look at each other, seeing deep helplessness in each other's eyes.

"Don't be anxious! There is still a way!"

Listening to the increasingly loud discussions in the hall, the Bobby Laien clan elder took a deep breath, then ordered the head of the family who was spreading panic:

"You first find a way to stabilize the guests, I will take the Duke to the back to redo his makeup and change his clothes, and then come out. That way, it might not be impossible..."

"No need to be so troublesome, I'll just say two words."

Although he really wanted to say "Either... or..." again, considering that these two old men were so old, and if they got excited and were carried away, Leon still suppressed the impulse to continue making sentences, turned to pull away the Bobby Laien head's palm, and strode toward the hall.

"Duke? Wait!"

"Wait! You... what are you going to do!"

Of course, it's to do what I want to do, hurry up and throw away the identity of this unlucky Duke!

Ignoring the Bobby Laien two elders who were chasing over in a hurry, Leon walked directly through the crowd of guests, stepped onto the main stage of the ceremony, and then said to the people below:

"I came this time to announce one thing. If you still insist on me being this Duke, then I am prepared to use the entire Bobby Laien family as..."

"Bastard!"

A somewhat familiar scolding sound rang out, interrupting Leon's words. A certain small fry Earl who was famous in the Wang capital stepped out of the crowd, gestured toward the freckled youth who was sitting in the front row with a gloomy face, and opened his mouth to stir up trouble sinisterly:

"You dare to be late for the title succession ceremony and delay the two distinguished guests for so long, don't you even apologize?"

You are... oh, so it's the small fry.

Relying on the badge on the other party's chest, after recognizing the identity of the person speaking, Leon was too lazy to pay attention to him, but followed his gesture and looked at the man and woman surrounded in the front row.

The noblewoman in the plain long dress on the left seems to be the Prime Minister's wife. He had seen photos of her and the Prime Minister in the newspaper. This one's mood seems quite good. Seeing him look over, she even took the initiative to nod and greet him.

And the half-grown child on the right whose face seemed to be dirty, should be Prince Joshua who splashed mud all over him on the road and overturned a bunch of carriages off the road. This bear thing seems to be glaring at him with annoyance, but he was pulled by the people around him and didn't stand out.

It's best not to stand out! Save trouble!

It's a pity that even though Leon just took a simple look at the "distinguished guests" and immediately withdrew his gaze, preparing to make a quick decision and throw away this unlucky title.

But the eyes are the windows of the soul, and his two windows seemed to be much more transparent than ordinary people's. Even though Leon just took a light glance, he had already conveyed his inner thoughts. "Presumptuous!"

After making eye contact with Leon on the stage, and being fiercely cut by his eyes that were 30% disdainful, 70% disgusted, and buried with 120,000% contempt underneath, Joshua, who was already full of fire, could no longer hold back.

Shaking off the female companion who was pulling his arm, the freckled youth suddenly raised his head and scolded with a face full of anger:

"You are just a lowly commoner who had the dog-shit luck to inherit a title, how dare you look at me with such eyes?"

"..."

Are you an idiot?

Just by glancing at him, he was met with a burst of inexplicable head-on scolding. Leon didn't even have time to be angry in his heart, just felt somewhat confused from the bottom of his heart.

To be reasonable, this kind of strange thing that would explode if you looked at it again, I'm afraid it was already retired twenty years ago. Even when the 18th-line web TV dramas were shaping villains, they didn't like it. How did I encounter one today?

Bastard! I must blind those damn eyes of yours!

Witnessing Leon's eyes change from disdain to surprise, then from surprise to realization, and finally revealing a hint of pity like looking at a fool, the freckled Prince suffered another "heavy blow." The anger that was already burning fiercely in his heart suddenly shot up another large flame.

"You lowly..."

"Prince Joshua!"

It wasn't just Leon who was surprised by the sudden outburst of the freckled Prince. After recovering from the shock, the etiquette teacher beside him immediately shouted to stop him, pulling him and scolding with furrowed brows:

"Pay attention to your etiquette! Don't lose face for the royal family and your sister!"

"Get lost!"

After pushing down the etiquette teacher who stepped on the landmine, the freckled Prince, who was so angry that his blue veins were jumping, stomped his feet and said:

"She is her! I am me! Don't pull Veronika's stuff on me! I am myself! Not her replica!

And you!"

Looking at the guy on the stage who looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, the freckled Prince, whose self-esteem was severely damaged, rushed toward the main stage, cursing while walking:

"You lowly commoner who is full of pus! Inferior fruit knotted on a crooked neck tree! Black-haired mongrel mixed in a dog kennel!

Just because you are a bastard Duke wandering outside, you dare to look down on me? Believe it or not, I will make you unable to be this Duke, and tomorrow I will take your family of bastards and roll out of the Wang capital? I... ah!"

Swinging his arm with full force, swinging an incomparably loud slap, and slapping this guy over, Leon, who felt much more comfortable in his heart, lifted the freckled Prince by his collar in the silence, and spat hard on the "dirty thing" on his face.

Pulling his sleeve longer, dipping his saliva and rubbing the other party's face hard, and discovering that it wasn't dirty, but natural freckles, Leon couldn't help but withdraw his hand with regret, then patted his left cheek, which was swelling rapidly, in the freckled Prince's incomparably terrified eyes.

"Make me unable to be this Duke? Sure! You'd better say it and do it! If you can't do it, you are my grandson!"

I seem to know why Old York suddenly had a heart attack...

Looking at his own new Duke, who not only spat on the Prince's face but also threatened to be the King's father, the Bobby Laien head only felt his heartbeat suddenly speed up, breaking the 180 mark in an instant, and started to sprint toward two hundred beats per minute.

"Clan... clan elder! Clan elder, hurry up and think of a way!"

At this critical moment, which was not so much a narrow escape as it was worse than death, the Bobby Laien head immediately turned his head and looked at the only life-saving straw in his heart, hoping to hear the "don't be anxious" like a Dinghai needle again, however...

"Thump!"

Before the Bobby Laien head could turn his head, the oldest among the Bobby Laien Three Elders, the last Dinghai needle of the entire Bobby Laien family, had already rolled his eyes and lay on the carpet first, twitching with his mouth crooked and eyes slanted, seemingly using his performance to predict the tragic fate of the Bobby Laien family in the future.

And what was even more fatal was that the new Duke, who successfully led the Bobby Laien family into the ditch, actually threw away the freckled Prince who was trembling constantly, and directly announced to the guests who were full of confusion:

"You listen well! If you still insist on me being this Duke, then I will use the entire Bobby Laien family as a dowry to propose to Princess Veronika! At worst, we will break up..."

"Good!"

A clear voice came from the rear. A certain woman who absolutely should not have appeared in this scene strode into the front hall, facing the guests' eyes that were ten times more confused than just now, and responded loudly with full joy:

"I accept your proposal! From now on, you are my Prince Consort!"
