Chapter 356: Tenderness
Facing Prince Grantham's hard mouth, Rishi secretly shook his head, although it was the first time he had met Leo, he felt that Leo was very similar to his own personality. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info cotton with needles or soft on the outside and rigid on the inside, although on the surface it seems to be more kind or even weak, but the heart is extremely stubborn, and the things that you recognize will not be easily changed. I'm afraid that Uncle Grantham really did something wrong this time, and he should be gentle with Leo, and if he is tough with him, I am afraid it will backfire.
But Rishi knew that if he pointed out his mistake to Prince Grantham now, it would make him even more discouraged, and perhaps Prince Grantham would be even more stubborn. The Rudolphs all have the same stubborn temper, and this is no exception to Prince Grantham.
The night was as cold as water, sitting on the high roof of the City Lord's Mansion, looking at the quiet moonlight, but Leo still felt that his heart could not calm down. During the day, the words of Rishi, who looked almost exactly like himself, and Prince Grantham, often echoed in my ears.
"Alas, Leo, Leo, you say you are not a good person, it doesn't matter if you are the son of a market butcher or a prison prisoner, why are you the prince of the Holy Griffin Empire? Leo sighed and complained about the identity he had crossed.
"Why bother with such a thing?" a crisp voice sounded beside Leo, and Sidney took off his usual uniform and sat next to Leo in a neat short dress, the white calves that made Leo dizzy.
"You relied on your own ability to defeat our three major knights, and you also established the Duchy of Prydz with your own ability, what does it matter to the Holy Griffin Empire, why do you care? You are the Grand Duke of the Duchy of Prietz, not the prince of the Holy Griffin Empire, you can't worry about this kind of thing!" Sidney's crisp voice enlightened Leo vigorously.
"That'...... The ......" Leo turned his head to look at Sidney in surprise and stammered, "How did you know about this?"
Hearing Leo ask, Sidney playfully shrunk his neck, spit out his red lilac tongue, and grimaced, "I happened to pass by while you were talking in the parlor, so ...... I accidentally heard it!"
Captain Sidney, who has always been like a sonorous rose, showed a little girl's playfulness on this cool and watery night, and the white moonlight sprinkled on her face, setting off her pretty and bright face as crystal clear.
It's a pity that Leo was so preoccupied at this time that he didn't notice Sidney's jade-like face at all, he just lowered his head and said in a loud voice: "I just want to manage this territory well and let everyone live a prosperous and stable life." But why did things come to me one after another?"
"First the Church of Light wants to establish a Church of Light mission, and then the Holy Griffin Empire recognizes relatives, do they all treat me as fat, can I really be at will?" Leo said, his voice gradually rising.
"Yes, that's it!" Sidney watched as Leo gradually revealed a hint of the majesty of the superior, and her eyes shone brightly.
"This continent has always been full of dangers, even between human kingdoms, and there is no place where you can be negative and depressed. Take out your domineering, show the courage to fight against the three major knights, show the majesty when you forced me to surrender, as long as you can hold your chest high, with your intelligence and martial strength, you will definitely make the Principality of Pritz stand among the great powers of the mainland. Sidney's words encouraged Leo with a hint of adoration that he had never felt before.
"Yes!" Leo looked at Sidney's big eyes, and one hand couldn't help but grasp Sidney's soft twing, and said loudly, "I have tens of thousands of goblins! I have three thousand white horses! I have you and the Rose Knights! I will make this continent tremble for me! I will make everyone fearful!"
Leo's words of pride were not as exciting as the hand he was holding in Sidney's heart, a feeling he had never felt before, and no boy had ever dared to hold Sidney's hand. Sidney, however, was uncharacteristically not disgusted, but was held by Leo and nodded his head in agreement with Leo's words.
Not far from the two, Feng Xifan stood quietly on the side with almost no sense of existence, looking at Sidney who was being held by Leo with a slightly unhappy face, the previous Miss Winnie had just separated, and another Sidney popped out, but these red faces and disasters could not have destroyed the young master's ambition!
After the pride subsided, Leo noticed the softness in his hand and Sidney's flushed face. Under the moonlight, with a slightly ruddy face, a pair of sparkling eyes, and a boneless wrist in his hand, Leo's heart trembled violently, and he subconsciously let go of Sidney's hand as if he had been electrocuted.
Sidney withdrew her hand with some disappointment, brushed the hair on her forehead to hide the embarrassment, and looked at Leo, who was slightly flustered and nervous, and she suddenly wanted to laugh again. At this time, Leo lost all the courage he had just now, and he looked extremely young and nervous like a hairy boy who confessed for the first time. This kind of Leo makes Sidney feel more real and more pleasing to the eye.
"That...... It's not too early, rest early!" Leo threw down a sentence and hurried away, leaving Sidney smiling back and forth, his crisp laughter ringing like a string of silver bells on the roof.
Sidney suddenly felt that such days were much happier and more relaxed than they had been in Paris. The knights, who were trained as war machines by the Grand Duke of Paris back then, didn't have any personal time at all, let alone laughing so wantonly, and even speaking a little louder would be reprimanded and punished.
Although he became a knight at a young age with outstanding ability, Sidney never felt happy, and even with many admirers following him, Sidney still envied the tenderness of the village girl who wiped the sweat of the young man who was farming. But Grand Duke Paris will never allow Sidney to have her own private affairs, and she can only become a sharp sword of the Paris Empire.
"That's good! That's the life I want! so I can feel like I'm a human being, not a tool!" Sidney sighed faintly after Leo fled.
