Chapter 18: Assassination

In the middle of the night, Nicole dreamed again, still dreaming of young Levi and the woman, only this time they were talking in a completely different way.

"Rest assured, Levi, there's my mother."

The strength of the woman's arm holding Levi was significantly stronger, and the young Levi was uncomfortable being held, but she also seemed to feel Li's mother's uneasiness, so she just honestly hugged his mother and didn't speak.

Nicole: 'Did something happen?' ’

But before Nicole could continue watching, she woke up at dawn.

Nicole woke up confused for a while to think about the scene in the dream, but dreams are always forgotten quickly after people wake up, and the thought of going to the flower bed today Nicole instantly woke up, leaving all this behind Nicole quickly got up to find Levi.

But I didn't expect Livi to get up earlier than her.

"Now, where's Levi?"

The attendant looked at the clock in the corridor at exactly eight o'clock, so she respectfully returned: "Now Your Majesty should preside over the meeting in the House, and under normal circumstances, you will come back at nine o'clock." ”

Nicole nodded, chatting with the maid as she walked towards the restaurant: "Well~ He got up so early." ”

Maid: "Yes, Your Majesty gets up at half past six every day." ”

Nicole was a little embarrassed when she heard this, and she couldn't get up at half past six every day.

'Yes! I can do it even if I don't! ’

With an inexplicable competitive spirit, Nicole asked again, "Then when does your king rest every day?" ”

Maid: "It's hard to say, Your Majesty has a heavy work every day, and often stays up until twelve o'clock at midnight before resting. ”

When Nicole heard this, she was secretly speechless.

Nicole had nothing to do after breakfast and simply stayed in Levi's study and waited for him, and the time was spent in Nicole's bored waiting, and finally at nine twenty o'clock he heard Levi's voice outside the door.

Levi: "... Let Thomas go over there right away, and Neil you need to pay more attention to the flow of the budget. ”

"Yes."

Without waiting for Nicole to move, Levi pushed the door directly and entered, and then Levi was stunned.

Because Nicole was lying on her desk and looked at him embarrassedly as if she hadn't had time to come down, Levi quickly adjusted his mind and handed the stack of papers in his hand to Neil, who was beside him.

Neil saluted, and immediately turned to do what Levi had commanded.

Levi closed the door and walked over to Nicole, reaching for the glass of water on her lap and casually saying, "How does it feel to lie down?" ”

Nicole smiled awkwardly and quickly got off the table to say hello.

"Yo, morning."

Levi took a glass of juice before turning his head and saying, "It's not early, Princess Nicole." ”

Nicole scratched her cheek and unconsciously shifted her gaze, Levi drank half a glass of juice in one gulp and sat down in his place with the water glass, then put down the water glass and began to tidy up the somewhat messy tabletop.

Nicole, who knew that she had done something wrong, immediately started to help, and after a while, the desktop was cleaned up, and Levi wordlessly picked up the file that was put aside and read it.

Levi started her daily work, and Nicole waited for a while, but saw that Levi didn't want to move, so she couldn't help but say, "Now, Levi." ”

Levi wrote something without raising his head and replied, "Yes." ”

Nicole took a deep breath and said, "Didn't you say that you would accompany me to the flower bed today?" ”

Levi's hand paused when he heard this, and Levi had completely forgotten about it, but it wasn't a big problem, and he continued to write and said, "Yes, yes." ”

Nicole looked at the way Levi stopped writing and instantly guessed that Levi had definitely forgotten.

So he immediately asked, "Now! You forgot! You've definitely forgotten about it!! ”

Levi sighed in his heart and put aside the document in his hand before smiling and saying to Nicole: "Don't worry, I haven't forgotten, it's just that this document is more urgent." With that, Levi got up and looked at the weather outside.

"It's a sunny day, let's go, take you to see my flower bed!"

With that, Levi raised his feet and walked out, and Nicole immediately followed with an excited face.

Soon the group came to the garden at the top of the north tower.

Nicole: "Oh~! Oh~!! It's so big!! It's so pretty!! With that, Nicole ran straight out.

The royal flower beds are naturally the most form-oriented, and the weather is very good today, so the flowers are even more colorful.

Levi looked at Nicole's excited appearance and smiled, and slowly followed.

He hadn't been here in a long time. His mother loved the flower bed the most, but she didn't actually visit it a few times, and Levi never visited it again after her mother's death.

Nicole was naturally overjoyed when she saw such a scene for the first time, and she not only saw all kinds of rare flowers and plants, but also picked a lot of fruits.

Levi looked at the fruit that Nicole handed over, smiled wryly, and shook his head.

Nicole: "Chew, chew, swallow." Hey, what's wrong, it's this expression again. ”

Levi smiled, picked up a fruit, pointed in one direction, and said, "Well, you can wash it before eating." As he spoke, Levi took the fruit and walked in the direction of his finger, if he remembered correctly, there should be a waterhole over there.

When Nicole heard this, she immediately picked up the fruit and followed.

Although the flower bed is large, it is easy to find a waterhole.

'Yes, there you have it. ’

As soon as Levi squatted down to wash the fruit in his hand, Nicole who was following closely behind her slipped because she was in a bit of a hurry.

"Eun!! Ahh!!!hh There was a big splash of water, and Levi subconsciously dodged it, but he was still splashed with a lot of water.

Looking at the water stains on his body, Livi was also quite speechless: ",,,"

But after seeing Nicole standing in the waterhole like a chicken in the soup, Levi's mood instantly became happy again.

"Yah

Saying that, Levi smiled kindly and stretched out his hand to think about Nicole, but Nicole instantly felt uncomfortable when she saw Levi's joke-like expression.

So he took Levi's hand and pressed it slightly.

"En~!" There was another commotion.

Nicole instantly felt better.

"Hahaha, hahahaha!!"

Levi looked at Nicole speechlessly, sighed, and had to go ashore first, seeing that Levi was going ashore, Nicole immediately followed with a smile, and even helped Levi because of his short legs.

After the two of them came ashore, Levi sat on the side, touched his soaked clothes, sighed again, and said, "Isn't this all soaked?" ”

Unlike Rivi, Nicole is very open.

"Doesn't it matter, isn't it fun?"

After looking at her with a habitual smile, Levi then turned his head and put away the fake smile, looking indifferently into the distance, not knowing what he was thinking.

Nicole, who didn't get a response, subconsciously looked at Rivi.

Ah, again, why are there such bland and cold eyes. ’

And then Neil came over with juice and a towel.

"Your Majesty, please have a drink."

Levi nodded and took the drink, and just as Nicole wanted to take the towel, a cold light suddenly flashed in the corner of her eye.

Nicole immediately turned her head to look, and the next moment a cold arrow went straight at Levi!

Words are meaningless at this point! Nicole subconsciously pushed Levi away!!

"Danger!!"

Even though he pushed Levi away, the arrow hit Nicole's arm, and the powerful impact and pain made Nicole instantly unconscious.

Levi, who was pushed away, saw this scene, and the cup in his hand fell to the ground and shattered, but he was at a loss.

Neil: "Princess Nicole!!" Guards!! Guards!!! There are assassins!! But he immediately protected the stunned Rivi.

At the moment when he secretly released the cold arrow, he secretly smacked his tongue but was still very calm and immediately retreated, but the matter will not end like this.
