Chapter 11: Consequences
The confinement is finally over.
Leon was in front of the door, stretching in the sun.
"Congratulations to Lord Lyon on ending his confinement. Vetelle had changed into a maid outfit and bowed to Leon.
"Hmm~, this maid outfit looks better than I imagined. Leon turned his head, his eyes on Wittel.
Wittel's face flushed a little, and she unconsciously stroked the side of her face with her hand, looking very shy.
"Really?"
"Of course. By the way, how have you been studying these days?" Leon suddenly remembered that Lea seemed to have been teaching Vittell the art of using magic for the past few days.
"Maybe I'm too stupid, I'm barely able to use my magic now, I'm sorry!" Wittelle bowed to Leon.
"Yes, but you don't have to apologize to me, this kind of thing can't be rushed, and it will get better slowly. "Although I knew that Vitrelle had a talent for magic, I didn't have high expectations.
"Okay, thank you, Lord Leon. ”
"So, I'm going to class. Leon gave up at Vitrill.
"Okay, have a nice trip!" Vetlill bowed to Leon again.
The classroom was as noisy as ever. But when everyone saw Leon's arrival, they all unconsciously quieted down.
"It's weird. Leon thought as he observed.
"Hey, bro, you're finally here. Kerry greeted Leon with a flattering smile.
"Well, what's wrong?" this guy usually seems to be cowardly, but he is still quite reliable at the critical moment, and he hasn't thanked him well for the last time.
"You're a celebrity in the whole school now. ”
"Why? Just because of a fight with Prince Barron?"
"That's right. No one has ever dared to go against the royal family, it's like an idol. I really can't imagine that a person who doesn't have magic power can fight on an equal footing with high-level warriors. ”
Looking at Kerry's exaggerated expression, I wanted to punch him.
"Okay, don't hold it up, maybe it will be more troublesome in the future. Leon spread his hands helplessly.
"So what are you going to do? ”
"The soldiers will block, the water will cover the earth, take one step at a time. ”
Although there was some fear of Prince Barron's revenge, the whole world had been much cleaner since the battle with Prince Barron, and no one was looking for trouble for a whole month.
Leon, Wittel, and Kerry sit at the dining room table.
"Why haven't I seen Princess Lea lately?, Vetel, what about you?" Leon remembered, as if he hadn't seen her in days.
"Hmm~" Wittelle looked up and thought for a moment, "I haven't been to Princess Ria since I mastered the art of using magic, and I haven't met her. ”
"I heard she looked like she was sick. Kerry said without looking up, as he ate.
"When?" Leon suddenly raised his voice.
"This morning, I heard that she fainted during class, and I don't know what happened next. ”
Leon couldn't afford to eat, and thought to himself: How could he suddenly faint?
"Lord Leon, let's go visit Princess Lea later. Vetelle was very worried, and they had grown closer ever since Leah had taught her to use magic.
"Well, let's go after eating. ”
"Yes, sir. ”
With that, Leon and Ria got up and prepared to leave.
"Hey, wait for me. Kerry shouted as he shoved food into his mouth.
"You eat slowly, I'll let you know if there's anything going on. Leon waved his hand at Kerry without looking back, and Wittelle followed closely.
At this time, Liya was lying on the bed, her face pale.
"Knock knock......" There was a knock on the door.
"Leah, it's me, Leon, are you in there?" Leon asked into the room.
"Is it Leon? I have to find a way to fool him so that he can't find out. Liya struggled to get up and open the door.
But the moment she stood up, her eyes suddenly turned black and she fell to the ground.
"Plop. ”
Leon and Wittelle didn't feel good when they heard this.
"Lea, what's going on?" Answer me!" Leon's worry slowly turned to anxiety, and Vitalill stood by, not knowing what to do.
"Damn, I don't have the strength to stand up, I don't even have the strength to shout, I really want to sleep well. Liya lay on the floor and gradually closed her eyes.
"Lia, answer me!" But no matter how Leon shouted, he never got a response from Liya.
"Damn, Vitrill, stay away. Leon said as he stepped back and said to Wittel, who was beside him.
"Yes, sir. Vetlill probably guessed what Leon was going to do.
"Bang, bang, bang!" Leon couldn't wait any longer, and slammed the door with his body.
"Damn, open it up!" Leon couldn't care about anything anymore, and now he just hoped that Liya was okay.
"Bang!" With a loud bang, the door was finally slammed open by Leon.
Seeing Liya lying on the ground in only pajamas, Leon was so frightened that his pupils dilated. Vetliel couldn't believe it, and covered her mouth with her hands.
Leon ran over in an instant, knelt on the ground, and gently lifted Lea's upper body.
"How are you, Liya, answer me!" Leon's voice trembled, he was afraid that Liya would be retaliated against for what happened last time.
"Lord Liya, please wake up, we have come to see you. Wittelle was already crying, tears streaming down her cheeks. Presumably, she was also worried that Princess Liya would be hurt because of herself.
"Well, it's Leon and Leah, I'm sorry. Liya opened her eyes weakly.
"What the hell is going on, tell me. ”
"Don't worry, I'm fine, I'm just feeling a little tired. Liya's voice grew weaker and weaker.
"It's okay, don't worry, it's okay. Leon comforted her as she picked up Lea, gently put her on the bed, and covered her with the quilt.
"I'm sleepy, I'll take a break. Leia slowly closed her eyes.
"Wait ......," Leon said again. He didn't want to disturb the current Liya.
"Damn, what the hell is going on?!" Leon began to get angry.
Vitrelle checked on Lea's condition, slightly frightened.
"Lord Leon, Princess Lea may have been in a coma due to hunger. ”
"How is that possible? what the hell is going on?" Leon couldn't believe the fact.
"Anyway, I'll go get some liquid food first. Vetel's decision was due to the fact that she had been on the verge of dying of hunger on several occasions, a situation she was all too familiar with.
Leon didn't follow, because he knew that all he could do now was to silently guard Liya's side.
It wasn't long before Vetlill returned with a bowl of porridge.
"I'm very sorry, Lord Leon, can you help Princess Lea up?" asked Wittel, holding the porridge, with great difficulty.
"Oh, sorry. Leon hurriedly sat down on the edge of the bed and gently helped Liya up, letting her lean into his arms.
"Liya, wake up. Leon shook slightly.
"It's so warm. Liya slowly opened her eyes.
"Princess Lia, come. Wittelle gently blew the porridge from the spoon and brought it to Lea's mouth.
"Hmm. ”
Seeing Liya slowly eat the porridge bite by bite, Leon and Wittelle finally breathed a sigh of relief. After feeding the whole bowl, a trace of anger finally appeared on Liya's face.
"Leah, what the hell is going on, why don't you eat?" Leon now believed Wittel's words.
"Because ......" Liya stopped talking, as if embarrassed.
"Because of what?" Leon couldn't do so much.
"Because I don't have any money. Liya was quiet.
"What, how is it possible!" Leon would never believe that a princess would not even have money for food?"Could it be?!" Leon suddenly flashed a figure in his mind. "I'm going to find him!"
"Wait!" Lea hugged Leon, pressed her face to Leon's chest, and closed her eyes. "That's it, don't go. Promise me not to go to him, not to have anything in touch with him, okay?"
Looking at Lea in his arms, Leon gradually calmed down. It is always himself who causes this consequence, thinking that Liya is suffering for herself, her heart is not good at all, no matter what Liya says, she just promised her.
"Well, well, I promise you, I won't go anywhere. Leon hugged Lea tightly.
"Hmm. ”
After a long time, Lia and Leon also calmed down.
"Liya, you take this first. Leon took the money bag from his bosom and handed it to Riya.
"No, I can't ask for that. Lea had already guessed Leon's intentions and refused directly.
"But ......"
"Please, it's okay. I'm a little tired and want to take a break, so you guys can go back first. Please. In the last sentence, Lia spoke to Leon in an almost pleading tone.
Leon and Wittelle saw that Lea was so resolute that they could only follow her instructions first.
"Okay, you get some rest first. That's all Leon can say now.
"Princess Liya, I'll come to see you later, goodbye!" Although Liya ate a small bowl of porridge, Vitrelle still didn't feel at ease that she was here alone.
But there was nothing they could do, so they reluctantly walked out of the room.
"Now, Vitrelle, why would Lea prefer this to accept my help?" Leon did not understand, as long as Lea spoke to him, he would not suffer such a pain. But she chose to bear it silently by herself, and refused her help. It is obviously herself who caused such a consequence, even if Liya wants to take this responsibility herself, it is not too much, why in the end?
"Perhaps, this is the last dignity of Princess Liya. Although Vetlielle had never been in the position of Lia, she probably felt that even though Princess Lia's rights and courtesies were in name only, her character was that of a truly proud princess!
Leon was silent for a moment, as if he understood something. Although I understand, the problem is still here, and how to solve it is still a difficult problem.
Two suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Vetel, do you know how to cook?" Leon looked at Vetlill expectantly.
Vitrelle couldn't resist Leon's expectant look.
"I'll only cook some of the daily dishes of the common people, and the Vetelle that Lord Leon usually eats can't make right now. "Vetelle felt very disappointed, she was obviously Lord Leon's maid, but now she was not even capable of doing such a simple thing as cooking, and she was really very incompetent.
"Oh, that's great, you'll be the ones to cook from now on!" Leon was as happy as if he had found a treasure.
"But is this really possible?" Wittelle was a little worried, and although she thought it was delicious, she was not sure if Leon, who had never eaten it, would be able to accept it.
"Well, I'll leave it to you later!" Leon finally had a smile on his face.
Vetlill couldn't refuse, and with this smile alone, she had to respond to Lord Leon's expectations.
"Hmm!"
