Chapter 828: 425 Three Sheep Meeting and Summons
Finally... finally...
Looking at Li Ang, who reached out to support the Princess's cheeks and strongly invited her to "do something big" with him, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang couldn't help but hold its breath desperately, and a flush of excitement appeared on its sheep face.
Finally waited for it!!!
This kid is too cautious and won't move around without certainty. He originally thought he would have to hold back for three, five, or seven years, until he became strong, before he could see him being dominated by his own desires and starting to vent his anger at this world wantonly.
Unexpectedly, after joining the Cleanup Bureau, he had only been working honestly for two months, and he couldn't hold back the fire in his heart and started to take action against this human Kingdom!
And after he uses this stupid woman as a springboard to gain the ability to act recklessly, the anger that has fermented in his heart for more than two months and was finally ignited by the King of Nightmares will completely sweep everything!
Just by imagining that beautiful future, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang, which had been holding back for a long time, started to tremble with excitement.
By that time, as long as a part of it is extracted as food from his wildly raging fury, it will be enough to make itself undergo a qualitative change. It is finally going to...
"I am finally going to become!"
Amidst the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's stunned expression, a wild cry full of joy broke into its soul.
"Wonderful! This is truly wonderful!"
Through the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's eyes, feeling the desire surging crazily, as if seeing the seeds he had planted for a long time finally breaking through the dark soil and tentatively arching out tender green buds, the 【Heart of Wild Ambition】 couldn't help but laugh out loud.
"This extreme ambition will surely bring extreme power, and extreme power will also breed extreme arrogance! After he completely controls the entire Kingdom, this strong desire that has expanded to the extreme will definitely help me return to the peak!"
"..."
No... I was the first one to come, okay? Who the hell do you think you are, babbling here?
Not expecting that someone... some demon was even crazier than itself, the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang was furious. However, just as it was about to curse the sheep heart in its soul, another extremely excited voice also rang out.
"This is greed! I feel endless greed! This wants to dominate everything, let the entire Kingdom follow his..."
"Are you blind? This is clearly endless ambition!"
"But I clearly see..."
"Fart! You two blind demons don't even have eyes, you can see a fart! This is absolutely the rage that destroys everything!"
"Hehe, who do you think you are? I am the strongest, so I say it is arrogance, it is arrogance!"
"I feel that whose eyes it is is not important. After all, with this endless greed as food, your eyes will sooner or later become my eyes."
"Get out! Not allowed to come in! All get out of my brain!"
While the three sheep were arguing over Li Ang, the Princess, who was also troubled by Li Ang's question, was pleading in a low voice with a hint of helplessness in her eyes:
"Li Ang, I really don't know what to do. Your words are a bit... a bit too sudden. Can you give me more time to think about it carefully?"
"Of course, after all, this matter must be based on you. Whether to do it or not must respect your meaning."
After looking at Princess Veronica's eyes, knowing that doing this was already the limit for now, Li Ang nodded and withdrew his right hand that was supporting her cheeks.
"Thank you..."
After that scorching palm left her cheeks, Princess Veronica couldn't help but subconsciously breathe a sigh of relief, then couldn't help but bite her lower lip and ask in a low voice:
"Li Ang, you... I didn't nod just now, will you be very disappointed in me?"
Li Ang was silent for a moment, then shook his head:
"Disappointment exists, but it's not for you. After all, you didn't have the obligation to do so in the first place."
"Even if you just go back and express your position well, indicating that you are willing to give up those proposals that may damage the interests of the royal family and divide the King's power, there is a high possibility of inheriting the throne, and there is no need to take this risk at all."
"On the contrary, it is me who has been using your kindness, wanting to force you to agree to my proposal. So in this matter, no matter how you choose in the end, I can understand."
Can understand... but not necessarily approve?
Hearing the underlying meaning in Li Ang's words, Princess Veronica bit her lip again and said with a complex look:
"Li Ang... these things you just told me, whether it is known by the Kingdom or the Cleanup Bureau, your result is likely not to be very good, you... you are not worried that I will betray you?"
Li Ang looked at her, held the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang beside him under the table with his fingers, and asked seriously:
"Then will you?"
"No."
After looking at the Princess's bottom color with the Hearing Hearing Heishanyang's soul vision, Li Ang nodded:
"Then I'm not worried."
"..."
Looking at Li Ang, who just got her promise and chose to believe it, Princess Veronica felt a slight warmth in her heart, then said softly with soft waves in her eyes:
"Li Ang, can I ask you one last question?"
"You ask."
"I want to know, why do you think that after I become Queen, I can change this country?"
"Hmm?"
Li Ang was slightly stunned and asked back:
"Aren't you already changing this country?"
Am I... already changing this country?
Hearing Li Ang's answer, Princess Veronica was also slightly stunned, then subconsciously clenched her palms.
Yes, although she hadn't been able to completely break this stagnant water, she had always been doing the right thing, just like what Li Ang said before!
Even Li Ang's willingness to take huge risks to tell her his thoughts was derived from his recognition of her efforts. So the things she had done over the years were not all in vain. Perhaps... she really let some people see the light.
"Thank you..."
After getting full recognition from Li Ang's response, the Princess, whose heart was almost filled, took a deep breath and relied on the little reason left, barely holding back from agreeing on the spot.
"I'm leaving first. Regarding your proposal... I will definitely consider it carefully."
After leaving such a sentence, she, with a heart burning hot, walked quickly out of the private room, left the restaurant, and hurried into the night wind of the capital with a hint of chill.
And Li Ang, who couldn't stop her, just wanted to follow her out when the waiter guarding the door suddenly flashed and politely but firmly blocked in front of him.
"Sir."
After looking at Li Ang, who was abandoned by his companion, with sympathy, the well-dressed waiter hardened his heart and smiled politely:
"The dishes you ordered are already being made. Do you have any other needs?"
"..."
What do I need... I need you to call back the one who paid the bill!
Looking at the waiter who was vigilantly looking at him, as if afraid that he would escape the bill, Li Ang's lips opened and closed twice, but in the end, he was too embarrassed to call the Princess back to pay the bill.
"That..."
However, after thinking about the price on the menu, the rebel leader, who was truly strapped for cash recently, had to cough awkwardly and try to negotiate:
"Are there any dishes that haven't been made yet? After all, my... companion had something to do and went home. I can't finish so many dishes alone. Can I return a few?"
"Sorry, all the dishes are already being made, but I can help you urge them."
"Fine..."
By the way... what exactly did I go to do?
While Li Ang was eating the most expensive meal of his life in pain in front of a table of rich dishes, the Princess, who was sitting in the carriage, also suddenly remembered her original plan under the reminder of her grumbling stomach.
That's not right?
She just wanted to invite Li Ang to a meal today to contact their feelings, so that he wouldn't always think about canceling the engagement? How did it turn into an armed coup and suppressing nobles to seize the throne after just ordering food and chatting for a few sentences?
And the meal didn't seem to be eaten...
After pressing her grumbling stomach, thinking of the absurd development just now, the Princess couldn't help but blink speechlessly.
Really... she felt that every time she was alone with Li Ang, there would definitely be some problems.
Going to see a play and being attacked by an anomalous object, changing from watching a play to acting; later visiting to contact feelings, but teasing him too much, and being thrown on the sofa by him for a night.
And today is the most outrageous. She just wanted to invite him to a meal simply and ask him to show his face at the parliament in a few days to help her push the proposal, but she was almost persuaded to launch an armed usurpation...
It seems that no matter what purpose she holds, after meeting Li Ang, she will strangely deviate from her original plan, be led by him onto a new path she had never imagined, and then lead to a strange result that has nothing to do with her original plan.
Strange man... hmm... but this doesn't seem bad.
Thinking of this, for some reason, Princess Veronica suddenly raised her hand and touched her left cheek lightly.
Just a few minutes ago, a palm with amazing heat was still supporting here, demanding that she answer his question directly.
Really didn't expect that, even though she was just teased by her, the little man who couldn't hold it would have such a strong side...
Imitating Li Ang's movements, she tried to support her cheeks several times, but couldn't find that strange but not annoying feeling. The Princess had to put down her hand, leaned against the carriage wall, tried her best to empty her messy thoughts, and began to ponder Li Ang's proposal.
If she refused Li Ang, after the parliament the day after tomorrow, it is estimated that it won't be long before Father, as King, would demand to terminate the engagement between her and Li Ang, and then marry her far away.
At that time, she would not only lose Li... lose her hard work for so many years, but also lose the opportunity to completely change the Kingdom, and could only watch countless "Li Angs" and "Annas" continue to struggle in painful life.
But if she chose to agree to Li Ang
Furthermore, her father has been king for nearly twenty years and his prestige is not low; to ensure the stability of the kingdom, she must place him under house arrest. Considering the backlash that the old nobility will inevitably unleash after the reforms are pushed through, this period will likely last for over ten years, or even longer.
And her father has been ill for six years, his physical condition always very poor; if he were to be placed under house arrest again, in his state of combined illness and rage, he might not be able to hold on until the situation is completely stabilized and the house arrest ends...
How exactly should she choose?
After returning to Wang Gong by carriage, the princess, her eyes filled with hesitation, walked into her bedroom, stood before the shelf beside the table, and stared blankly in a daze.
On the top layer of this shelf sat a row of photo frames that looked somewhat old but were clearly wiped clean often; the largest photo among them showed a young, healthy couple and a girl with a face full of laughter.
Although the photo was somewhat old and had faded quite severely under the light, looking closely, one could still recognize the girl's features and see the laughter that came from her heart.
The girl in the photo wore a crown made of wildflowers on her head and sat on a swing made of wooden boards and vines, swinging high toward the sky; her carefree eyes were so clear, completely devoid of the cunning and pretense of her adulthood.
And behind the girl was a young man with deep tear troughs beside his nose who smiled very gently; in the photo, he was maintaining a forward-pushing posture, arms held level, swinging the girl's swing forcefully toward the high sky.
Not far from this father and daughter, a young woman, only half of whom was in the frame, sat on a chair beside the swing, watching the frolicking of her husband and daughter with eyes full of tenderness.
"Father... Mother..."
After reaching out to touch this old photo, the princess clenched her fists slightly, then moved her gaze away from the photo and shifted it down one layer.
A tin doll with half its cheek shattered, its face looking as if it were smiling in grievance, was leaning quietly against the shelf, its two emerald glass eyes gazing at her timidly with a trace of inexplicable sorrow.
"..."
Cornwall City six years ago... the dilapidated factory at the end of the street... the bright syrup flowing all over the ground... the survivors hiding in the storeroom... the little girl holding the doll and looking at her timidly... the napalm falling from the sky... the ignited syrup... the surging orange-yellow sea of fire...
Upon seeing the tin doll's eyes, which were the same color as the girl's, the nightmare that had tormented the princess for six years surged into her heart once again, beyond her control.
Reaching out to gently stroke the burn marks on the doll's arm, thinking of the expression on Li Ang's face when he recounted his past, the princess could not help but bite her lip tightly again.
What exactly should she...
"Knock, knock-knock."
Just as the princess's inner heart was in fierce conflict, a knock on the door rang out.
"Your Highness."
After receiving the princess's permission, two court ladies pushed open the door and entered the bedroom, announcing respectfully:
"His Majesty knows you have returned and would like to invite you over to talk about the situation after your meeting with the Prime Minister this afternoon."
