Chapter 565: Who is there? Are they all dead?

~8 min read 1,443 words

Facing the Princess who suddenly popped out and killed the "game" with one sentence, everyone in the entire Bobby Laien Manor was stunned.

From the freckled Prince who was slapped to the ground, to the middle-aged noblewoman who almost fainted on the spot behind the Princess, everyone who witnessed this scene, the only expression they could make was to widen their eyes uncontrollably, and then instinctively open their mouths...

"Ah???????"

【Under the witness of Prince Joshua and half of the kingdom's nobles, First Princess Veronika personally accepted your proposal. You have obtained the Gold-level identity badge "Travel Thrush Prince Consort"】

【Travel Thrush Prince Consort: Prince Consort of the Travel Thrush Kingdom, husband of First Princess Veronika. Although you do not have the qualification to inherit the throne, your language and behavior can already represent the will of the royal family to a certain extent】

【Wearing effect: As a Prince Consort with a noble status, within the territory of the Travel Thrush Kingdom, you can demand anyone with a status lower than yours to salute you actively】

【Advancement route: If the marriage relationship with Princess Veronika is maintained for a long time, and you have not divorced until she inherits the throne, this badge will automatically advance to the different-colored badge "The Man Behind the Queen (Off-White)"】

【Hidden characteristic (no need to wear): Because this is a purely political marriage, Princess Veronika only has a good impression of you, and there is a lack of a sufficiently deep emotional foundation between each other, so she will not interfere too much in your private life】

"..."

It really is the Princess?

After closing the newly popped-up badge, looking at the plump beauty walking toward him with big strides from outside the door, Leon couldn't help but open his mouth, not knowing what to say for a while.

The investigator from the Cleaning Bureau had just left yesterday, and the suspicion of the Bobby Laien Blood Night on him hadn't been cleared yet. At this time, logically speaking, he should be more cautious and throw away the identity of the Duke of Lionheart as soon as possible.

But... this is a Golden Badge! And it's one with a clear advancement path, the kind that has a high probability of reaching the variant color. If he were to change his words right now, this badge wouldn't be taken back, would it?

"Sorry, this visit is a bit sudden, disturbing everyone."

While Leon on the stage was still worrying about gains and losses, hesitating whether to advance or retreat, the Princess who had picked up a big bargain had already passed through the crowd and walked quickly to the bottom of the main stage.

After nodding and greeting the nobles who were stunned because of her sudden appearance, Princess Veronika gently picked up the hem of her simple long dress, bent her knees and lowered her head to perform an elegant and dignified lady's salute.

Then she straightened her swan-like neck again, turned around lightly, stretched out her white lotus-like arms covered in thin gauze toward Leon, who had a complex expression on the stage, stared at his eyes with slightly red cheeks, and directly conveyed a kind of determination like burning the boats through her eyes.

Originally, she just wanted to watch the fun, but she didn't expect such a big pie waiting for her. This man, who was several years younger than her, was the last piece of the puzzle to save the kingdom!

If she could take over the political legacy of the Lionheart family through marriage with him, even if she completely offended the old nobility class today, or even attracted crazy assassinations from the rebels, it would be worth it!

"No! I don't agree!"

Watching that man on the stage hesitate for a moment, then actually hold the hand stretched out by his sister, a certain Prince whose left face was swollen high couldn't help but tremble all over, revealing a look of deep horror in his eyes, and then immediately raised a strong objection!

As the King's child, political literacy is naturally the most important compulsory course. Although Joshua is arrogant and irritable, he is not a complete fool. After experiencing the initial shock, he immediately reacted to the significance of this "hand-holding."

If that damn Duke of Lionheart really used the entire Bobby Laien family as a dowry to successfully marry Veronika, it would be equivalent to nearly half of the kingdom falling into his sister's hands. Then his status and hers would be instantly reversed, and instead, he would become the one completely abandoned by his father!

If Veronika were more ruthless, let alone inheriting the throne, he might be thrown to the other side of the ocean to feed monkeys!

No! No matter what today, absolutely cannot let her succeed! Absolutely not! "Veronika!"

After two loud shouts gathered everyone's attention, ignoring the slap print that was still aching on his face, the freckled Prince scolded sharply:

"Father has already set the range of Prince Consorts for you in advance, and you must choose from those few people! You accepting the Duke of Lionheart's proposal now is equivalent to defying Father's order!"

"Is that so?"

Looking at the freckled Prince who suddenly jumped out to stir up trouble, Veronika curled her lips, continued to maintain the posture of stretching her arms toward Leon, and replied unhurriedly:

"No way, Duke of Lionheart is heroic, kind, young, and handsome, especially the way he looks when slapping others, which makes me fall in love at first sight. Since love came so suddenly, I have no choice but to let down Father's painstaking efforts.

Besides, as his most doted daughter, in my own lifelong event, I am a little bit willful, I think he will not blame me, and will even feel happy for my happiness... what do you say, Joshua?"

Hearing his sister's response with words in her words, the freckled Prince's face suddenly turned black.

Damn it! That old thing will indeed be happy, but it's not because of any of your bullshit happiness, but because the leader of the old nobility has suddenly gone crazy and actually led the Ministry of Road Administration and the military to lean toward the royal family!

Trouble, it seems she has made up her mind, no matter what, she must seize the opportunity to swallow the Bobby Laien family's legacy in one bite. This road is afraid it's already impassable!

"Where are the people of the Bobby Laien family?"

Seeing his sister determined to marry the Duke of Lionheart, even if he brought out his father, he couldn't suppress her, and that Duke of Lionheart was bold and reckless, simply impossible to fear his threats, the unwilling Joshua immediately changed his target, starting to look for the actual controllers of the Bobby Laien family, hoping to be able to pressure a certain damn Duke through them.

Coldly looking around at the group of little golden hairs, the freckled Prince didn't even pretend anymore, while trying hard to find someone who could make the decision, he asked loudly with a fierce look:

"Is there no one left in your Bobby Laien family? Just watching this bastard Duke mess around? Are you willing to let him hand over the entire Bobby Laien family?"

However, even though he had already torn his face, no one from the Bobby Laien family stood up. The only response to him was silence, and the whispers and discussions of the guests.

"Speak!"

Seeing that it was at this time, the Bobby Laien family still didn't come out, the freckled Prince, who was anxious, couldn't help but get angry, and shouted with furrowed brows:

"Are you really just watching? Are the Bobby Laien family all dead? Is there not even one person who dares to stand up and stop him from messing around?"

"..."

"Stop looking, the Bobby Laien family is indeed out of people."

Looking at this young wolf who was frantically baring his teeth, trying to find someone to suppress himself, Leon on the stage was silent for a while, then reminded with a strange expression:

"The old Duke's steward had a heart attack and is being given first aid in the carriage outside; the only remaining clan elder is older, and when I slapped you just now, he couldn't take the stimulation and fainted directly;

As for the newly appointed head of the family, when your sister accepted my proposal, I seemed to see him clutching his heart and lying down... look, the one lying at the door should be him."

"..."

Ah???????
