Chapter 246: Cover-up
Rushing into Gotte's room, Luna went straight to the bottles and jars on the table for refining potions, and retrieved the remaining half of the ale used to refine the alcohol from under the table, and quickly rinsed the fragrant glassware.
"Your Highness. A familiar voice rang out from Luna's side.
Luna, who didn't notice anyone at all, shook her hand when she heard the sound, and the glassware in her hand slipped away, and Luna took a step backwards.
However, as expected, the sound of the glassware hitting the ground did not come, and the falling vessel was also caught by a big hand.
"Ho, Uncle Howard......" Luna looked at Howard who bent down to catch the utensils, the smile on her face was a little far-fetched, who let this thing witness the whole process of assembling her gifts, and couldn't stop it?
"Is it too late for Your Highness to destroy the evidence at this time?" Howard lowered his head and sniffed the utensils that no longer exuded aroma and left a smell of ale, fiddling with a few moments in surprise, and asked.
"Thank you. I don't understand. The corners of Luna's mouth twitched slightly, and she reached for the glassware that Howard was playing with in her hand, holding a dead duck's hard mouth.
"Your Highness, don't be so nervous, I didn't plan to tell the king that the skirt was given by His Highness. ”
Howard looked at Luna, who was nervous, and her face was usually expressionless, but at this time she was smiling very poorly.
In fact, when he went to the study this morning, and was seriously asked by a tangled Silas about the origin of the skirt, he almost broke his work, and he endured him early in the morning, and he could be regarded as able to let go of his smile at this time.
"You, what do you want?" Luna looked at Howard a little nervously, she had never believed that there was a free lunch in this world, and she didn't believe it even more when she looked at Howard with such a bright smile.
"Simple, please come to my house another day, I want you to meet my wife Ivy. Howard said.
"See your wife, that's it?" Luna looked at Howard with a confused expression.
"Not only that, but I also want Your Highness to help me make me a bottle of water that is suitable for Ivy, well, the kind of good-smelling water you sprayed on her skirt yesterday. Her birthday is next month. In return, I will help His Highness cover up the past with this incident. Howard winked at Luna with a smile.
Luna stared at Howard, half-fazed and couldn't react, God knows, looking at the person with a wooden face all day long, how frightening it was to have such a rich expression at this time.
Also, what the hell is Howard's allegiance to her father, can she trust him, or is that really good?
Although Luna instinctively wanted to cover it up because of the dress she gave away, she hesitated when it came to the end.
As if seeing Luna's hesitation, the smile on Howard's face narrowed slightly, and after a moment's thought, he said:
"Your Highness, don't think too much, I'm loyal to the king. But His Highness did not endanger the king's safety, so it didn't matter. ”
"May I ask, what happened to my father and mother, and why are you willing to cover it up for me? Not to mention that it has nothing to do with my father's safety, I don't believe it. ”
Luna looked at Howard suspiciously, thinking for a moment.
Instead of being angry, Howard's smile became more genuine.
Unbeknownst to Luna, Howard's proposal was a test.
After leaving the Bess's house, if Luna hadn't assembled the gift in front of him that day, but had delivered it directly to Silas's study, he would have disposed of it without hesitation before Silas returned to his study.
And now, if Luna accepts Howard's proposal in one bite, Howard will not hesitate to sell her.
After all, a princess who is easily gullible is more dangerous than an enemy hiding in the shadows, isn't it?
On the contrary, it was Luna's hesitation and entanglement that Howard could safely help her cover up the matter.
"As far as I know, the king thought that the dress had been sent by the queen, so he ...... Well, he was kicked out of his bedroom in the middle of the night. As for why I want to help His Highness cover up, in addition to the selfish motive of wanting to give my wife a gift...... I think it's good to have one thing that can make the king forget about the betrayal of Knight McCann for a while. ”
Howard said honestly.
"Knight McCann betrayed his father?" Luna frowned, she knew about the Beth family from Anthony, but she didn't expect it to be like this.
"This matter is not something that His Highness can ask about now. Would you like to accept my offer?" Howard asked, sighing and rubbing Luna's head.
"Okay...... Still, can I ask you how you're going to help me cover up?"
Suddenly being rubbed by Howard like an elder, Luna was very uncomfortable, hesitated for a moment, still a little entangled, and hesitated to speak.
At this time, she actually wanted to reach out and pull Howard's face to see if the one who appeared in front of her was completely different from the chief of the guard who followed her father with a cold face all day long, and whether he was wearing a personal leather mask or something.
However, the familiar aura on the other party just told her that this person was the cold-faced captain of the guard, Howard, and there was no problem at all.
"This is simple, in fact, there are quite a lot of young ladies who love the king. I also deal with some gifts that are quietly delivered to the door of the study. As for the dress...... I can say that I left for the time being, and then let the guards train harder lately. Howard said with a smile.
"Uh......" Luna took a step back when she heard this, looked at the light breeze of the clouds, and said Howard, who was going to train the guards more, and silently bowed a tear of sympathy for the guards who had been training extremely intensively on weekdays.
At this time, Luna is actually still very entangled, obviously someone helped her cover up her cheating behavior, she should feel lucky, but this incident makes her always feel a little weird in her heart, and more importantly, what is the young lady who loves her father quite a lot?
How did she not know about this before?!
"What else does Your Highness want to ask?" Howard asked with some amusement looking at Luna, who not only did not show any relief as his words fell, but instead had all the facial features on her small face tangled together.
"Who sent anything to my father's study? Does my mother know about it? Did you cover them up too?" Luna asked, taking a step forward, narrowing her eyes and looking up at Howard.
She just said a skirt, even if her father said that he was bald, exposing the "unknown origin" of the skirt, wouldn't it make her mother's face black like that?
It turns out that someone always sends things to her father?
Hehe, all of them are cowardly, dare to rob her father, don't let her catch it!
And the person in front of him, didn't you see it! In addition to standing guard for her father, she also released water to those little females who were thinking about robbing her father with her?
Okay! You're not too daring?!
Howard, who has been working hard to help his brother and division maintain a harmonious relationship between husband and wife: "......"
