Alice: "Your Majesty, please." ”

Levi smiled and motioned for Alice to sit down first: "Actually, it's not a big deal, I just want to ask you about your plans in the future, after all, you also know that I don't live long." ”

Alice's face darkened when she heard this.

Levi: "You can choose to stay, I will arrange for someone to take care of you later, and if you want to leave the palace, I will also arrange a way back for you in advance." ”

Alice was anxious to say something, but Levi interrupted her and didn't let her speak.

"There's still plenty of time, so there's no need to rush to answer, just go back and get some rest."

Livi said so, even if Alice wanted to say something, she could only hold back in frustration and nod yes.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Watching Alice leave Levi, she took a long puff on her cigar.

Then, it's Nicole left. ’

At this moment, Rivero was a little glad that he didn't marry Nicole, and he didn't want to harm others anymore.

"Whew-" let out a long puff of smoke.

I'd better find a chance to say it clearly. Levi couldn't think of any other way, so he could take it one step at a time.

"It's okay, there's still time."

Getting up and walking to the window, Livi really felt complicated at this moment.

，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，，

Time doesn't stop just because Rivi is terminally ill, life still has to pass.

During this time, Baldwin still deliberately approached Nicole according to his plan, testing her.

Baldwin always believed that it was his responsibility that Levi would become like this, and he was ashamed of what Levi's mother had entrusted him.

And now that Levi is about to marry a wife, Baldwin feels that he should make up for Levi's guilt.

So Baldwin used his sassy appearance to get to Nicole's side when he had nothing to do, although Nicole never had a cold.

Soon it was time for the banquet two days later.

The theme of this banquet is to celebrate Baldwin's return, as the only remaining bloodline of the royal family other than Rivi, this time Livi gave absolute attention, and the people who came were all powerful figures in the empire.

Including the granddaughter of the Minister of Finance, who he had previously released, Rivi was called back.

During the banquet, Levi and Nicole sat in the seat of honor, unlike Nicole, who was eating, Levi was silently speechless as he looked at Baldwin, who was talking to the ladies and ladies at the bottom of the stairs.

It's not that Levi doesn't want to eat, it's mainly that there is no food on the table that he can eat, and even the wine is cold, so he can't touch it.

Alice, who was standing behind Levi, said with some regret, "Sure enough, I should have made some food in advance." ”

Levi shook his head: "It's useless to do it, I don't have much appetite and I can't eat, leave Nicole, accompany me out to the balcony to breathe." Not wanting to continue watching Baldwin chatter below, he got up and left the place first.

As soon as Levi left, Alice naturally followed.

Nicole: "Oh~oh! Come on! Unlike Levi, Nicole eats a lot of food, and quickly swallows the beef in her mouth, and then Nicole gets up.

It should be said that the etiquette learned these days is still effective, and before putting it, it is estimated that Nicole just got up and chewed the food and left.

But this is a little slower, plus for the image Nicole wore a pair of ill-fitting Xie today, the ankles were worn red, and there was nothing when I was sitting, but this walk.

“，，，”

Subconsciously stopped, because the pain was worse than she had imagined.

And at this time, Baldwin, who saw the opportunity, came directly behind Nicole and said, "Are you not feeling well?" ”

Nicole: "!! You! Don't scare me! Really. ”

Baldwin: "What, stay here alone?" At this time, Baldwin saw the problem at Nicole's ankle and shook his head slightly, "Ah, well, Levi can't do it either." ”

Nicole naturally felt a little upset for Levi when she heard this, but before she could speak, the lady at the bottom of the stairs spoke first.

"Lord Baldwin~~~"

Baldwin had a headache, and although he liked to chat with these ladies, it wouldn't be fun if it was too annoying.

"I'm sorry Nicole, can you help me in trying to get around these ladies?"

Although Baldwin is not very interested in the flowery mouth, Nicole will not directly refuse when she needs help out of the other party's identity.

“？？” Just when Nicole was confused, Baldwin directly picked up Nicole in the way of a princess hug, and at the same time said loudly: "This is not good! Princess Nicole is dizzy! ”

Shocked, Nicole even forgot to struggle: "Hah! ”

Baldwin: "Go on, everybody! I'll take Princess Nicole out for a rest first!! ”

Saying that, Baldwin just hugged Nicole and ran away! Really ran!!

At the moment, Levi, who still doesn't know the truth, is still waiting for Nicole on the balcony, but after waiting for a while, he hasn't seen anyone, and Levi can't wait any longer.

"It's slow."

Then he turned and went back into the hall, but as soon as he got back to the hall, he heard the ladies say this.

"Master Baldwin and Master Nicole are beautiful!"

"I hugged that Nicole-sama like a child!"

"Those two people are as beautiful as a picture standing together!"

"What a match!"

Soon they couldn't laugh anymore, as a gloomy-looking Levi stood behind them.

"Your Majesty,,, Your Majesty."

On the other side, Nicole's side.

Nicole: "It's almost time to put me down." He frowned and looked displeased.

Baldwin didn't mean to let go, and while walking, he was arguing with Nicole.

"Ha, I'm really hated, don't look at me like this, I'm still very popular among women."

Nicole: "I see! I've seen it all! Besides, what do you want to do when you come back this time?! I left without saying a word, but now I have swaggered into the palace! What about your purpose! ”

Because she didn't know the purpose of Baldwin's return, Levi clearly warned Nicole more than once to be careful of Baldwin, and Nicole was not stupid, and she also wanted to find out Baldwin's purpose to help Levi when she had the chance.

Nicole sighed at the mention of purpose, Baldwin.

"Purpose."

Nicole has a strong strength, and she really used this as a backing to be so presumptuous when she first met Levi, just because she had the confidence to protect herself, so in order to get information, even if she was taken to a small black room and was beaten by Baldwin, Nicole was still not afraid in her heart, but she pretended to be a little flustered on the surface.

"What are you going to do?!"

Baldwin: "When I saw you at the memorial in the city, I was really overwhelmed by your supreme beauty, don't care about such a child, I can ,,, satisfy you more, I like you, Princess Nicole, to the extent that I took you like this." ”

I have to mention that Baldwin gave birth to a good skin, and he will make good use of his skin, but Nicole, who is prepared, just quietly watched him perform, although Baldwin said very moving, but in Nicole's opinion, this is just a drill, in her eyes Baldwin has no impulse in his mouth at all, very calm.

So she stopped acting.

"Don't say this kind of unintentional words, words and spirits will be polluted." The tone is calm and steady.

This was a big surprise to Baldwin, because it was completely different from the usual Nicole.

Nicole: "I have no experience with this kind of thing, but I can see from your eyes that you don't like me at all, even though I don't understand why you're doing it." ”

Ah, I saw through it. ’

Before he could get up and sigh, the door suddenly opened!

"Bang dang!" Nicole and Baldwin were taken aback, but something even more frightening.

Silent Levi came in with the guards!
