Chapter 323: Verbal Agreement
readx;
The bet was handed over to the Marquis in advance, and Meng Han didn't have to worry about the Second Highness repaying the debt, even if he wanted to, at this time, it was impossible for him to take back the gold coins from the Marquis's hand as Meng Han did last time. The second highness of the pen & fun & pavilion www.biquge.info is disgraced, not only has to face the loss of 100,000 gold coins, but also has to give an explanation for his personal guard as a necromancer.
In the Empire of Light, if such a thing happened, then His Royal Highness would have no other way to explain it except to die. However, this is not the Empire of Light, this is the Duchy of Transes, and it is the eldest duke who is now in charge. Even if it is a big sin to settle with a necromancer, but here, the sin is not punishable by death, and the Second Highness will definitely only place a sin of negligence on the surface, and will never be punished severely.
Meng Han didn't care about these things now, and his affairs in the Boulder Castle had nothing other than accepting the reward. While waiting, there was still one thing that made Meng Han very happy, in order to raise 100,000 gold coins, His Royal Highness used the Caesar Palace under his name as collateral and borrowed almost 50,000 gold coins in cash from some people. In this gambling battle, His Royal Highness lost at the bottom, and this Casa Palace naturally fell into someone else's name. After some operation by Francis, the Casa Palace of the Megalithic Castle became an estate in the name of Meng Han.
Not being able to directly get the cash of 50,000 gold coins made Meng Han a little regretful, but this Casa Palace, which was definitely worth about 70,000 gold coins, could definitely make up for Meng Han's loss. Since it has become his own industry, Meng Han simply closed down at all during this period of time, and all of them served himself and his own personal guards.
There are five days left to celebrate the whole country, the celebration of the first prize, Meng Han is waiting boringly, and at the same time receiving several heavyweight customers. When I was bored, I suddenly received a notification that someone asked to see me, but he didn't identify himself.
At this time, he didn't dare to identify Meng Han when he asked to see him, but Meng Han really couldn't figure out who it was. But this is his own place, Meng Han is not afraid of what tricks someone will play, he thought about it slightly, and ordered someone to bring someone in.
After entering Meng Han's room, the visitor's eyes looked at the two little maids and two female knights beside Meng Han, and he turned his head back very straightforwardly, revealing a pretty face.
"Princess Catherine?" Meng Han was surprised that the person who came was actually Catherine, the daughter of the eldest duke. The last time Meng Han saw Catherine in Huangsha City, Catherine naively asked Meng Han to take responsibility for the old duke and the marquis, and even asked Meng Han to stand on her father's side, but Meng Han refused at that time. But what is she doing here now? and dressed so mysteriously?
"I'm here to continue our last agreement!" said Princess Catherine, with an expression on her face as if she were a prisoner who was calmly dying.
"Have we had an agreement?" Princess Catherine's words made Meng Han very puzzled, inexplicable, when did he have an agreement with Princess Catherine?
"You said that if I were your woman, you would help me!" Princess Catherine looked at Meng Han stubbornly, and when she saw him so cheating, her eyes almost burst into flames. If you hadn't felt that you were here to ask for someone, you might have walked away immediately.
"Wait!Wait!" Meng Han vaguely remembered that he seemed to have made this joke, but it seemed to be a joke at the time, right? Why did Catherine take it seriously? Meng Han felt as if he was dreaming, and it was an absurd dream, suddenly a Grand Duke's daughter came to him and said to herself, to be her own woman, and this Grand Duke didn't seem to deal with him very well, no matter how Meng Han thought about it, he felt that this was an impossible thing.
"Joey, pinch me, am I dreaming?" couldn't help it, Meng Han said this to Joey, causing the four girls around him to snicker, but Princess Catherine's face became tighter and tighter. Princess Catherine was originally a beauty, and she was also a beauty with status, but such a face made her look quite a princess's majesty.
"Are you sure you're not joking with me?" Meng Han asked with a frown, looking at the woman in front of him who was a princess.
"I'm serious. Princess Catherine bit her lip and seemed to be making some big decision: "If you want, you can have me now!"
"We never seem to have said how I can help you!" Princess Catherine behaved like this, but Meng Han sank down, if something goes wrong, it must be a demon, where is there such a cheap thing, a princess of a principality will run in front of her, and there are definitely many unacceptable conditions to be her own woman.
"I'll be your woman, and you won't be able to help the Marquis from now on. Princess Catherine said her conditions with a blank face: "You can't give him money, you can't sell him all kinds of weapons, and you can't let your people help him, if necessary, you have to help me deal with the Marquis and his men." β
After hearing what Catherine said, Meng Han laughed instead. Not only Meng Han, but even Joey laughed. Julie didn't have such a delicate brain, she didn't think about it that much, and the two little maids didn't think too much, and they didn't understand what was funny about it. It's just that since the adults and Sister Joey are laughing, they are also smiling.
"Do you know that your eldest brother is on the front line and almost can't get off the stage because of me?" After Meng Han smiled, he looked at Princess Catherine with interest, looked at her tense pretty face, and asked casually.
"Yes!" replied Princess Catherine simply.
"Do you know that I made your second brother pay 100,000 gold coins, killed more than 200 of his magicians and warriors, and even made him almost wear a hat of collusion with a necromancer?" Meng Han continued to ask.
"Yes!" replied Catherine again simply.
"Then do you know that whether it is your brothers or your father, they all want to let me die now?" Meng Han asked seriously as he stared at Catherine's eyes.
"Yes!"
"Then do you know that what you want is not equal to what you are about to give?"
"Yes!"
"Then do you think I'm a fool?" This question, Meng Han is not even a little unreasonable enough for himself, how could he make such a joke with such a naΓ―ve girl in the first place, and now it seems that he can't get off the stage.
"You said that if I were your woman, you would help me!" Catherine did not answer the question directly, but with this so-called agreement, it seemed that she actually admitted that Meng Han was indeed stupid enough.
"I didn't want to say that in front of women, but I had to. Meng Han looked at the innocent and righteous princess in front of him a little helplessly, who could sacrifice her life for her family to cut the flesh and feed the eagle, and said very seriously: "Some things are not as simple as you imagined!"
"First of all, even the covenant between nations can be torn up at any time, and the verbal agreement between us personally, remember, is only a verbal agreement, which I can not recognize at any time. Meng Han stretched out one of his fingers and explained to Catherine very seriously: "As long as I need it." β
"Secondly, I don't think that in this situation, even if I help you, you will gain the approval of your father and your brothers, and dispel them from wanting me to die. You may think I'm stupid, but I'm not stupid enough to do anything for someone who wants my own life. The second finger stretched out, and Meng Han was still staring at Princess Catherine's eyes: "What is the character of your own father and brother, I think you know better than me." β
"Third, the original agreement was not simply to say that you will be my woman, and I will help you unconditionally. Meng Han stretched out his third finger and put it in front of Catherine: "I remember what I said at the time was, if you are the heir of the Grand Duke and my woman, I will do my best to help you." As a businessman, I want to get the most out of my investment, rather than making someone other than you a Grand Duke and then I get killed by the new Grand Duke. β
After saying these three points, Meng Han put down his hand in front of Catherine and leaned his face over, which was only less than a fist away from Catherine's pretty face. Catherine had been standing quietly, surprisingly calm, and had not dodged.
Meng Han and Catherine looked at each other face to face for a long time before Meng Han asked in a deep voice, "Did I understand enough?"
Involuntarily, Catherine nodded. Only then did Meng Han retreat and stand still, looking at Catherine quietly, waiting for her next reaction.
After standing there and struggling for a while, Catherine said with difficulty: "What if I only ask you not to help each other?"
"Then what do you think I'm doing now?" Meng Han suddenly laughed and asked rhetorically: "The silk industry was bought by the Marquis for gold coins, and there were many people present at the time, and only the Marquis made a bid. The weapons produced in my territory can be sold to anyone at the same price, and there are no special benefits for the Marquis. My people have never acted only for me, not for others. Even the last gamble was not initiated by me. Do you understand what I mean by that?"
This time, Princess Catherine thought about it for a longer time, but her eyes became brighter and brighter. He was about to say something, but was interrupted by Meng Han waving his hand.
"Don't get me wrong. I'm just sticking to my personal principles. What is good to me, I am better for him! If you want me to die, I will let him die first! I don't want to clear my relationship with the Marquis here, in fact, there is no need to make it clear, he supported me when it was time to support me, and he didn't want to kill me, so I am in league with him. Meng Han's words made Princess Catherine fall into disappointment again.
"Princess Catherine, I only hope you've thought it through before you try to deal with me. None of this happened to me. It's not that I'm trying to deal with your family, or who I want to kill, I'm just doing everything to make life better for me and my people. Meng Han quickly finished saying this, and then sent the guest away: "If there is nothing to do, princess, you can leave." Besides, if Her Royal Highness is interested in the position of Grand Duke someday, and is interested in me, then we may wish to discuss the verbal agreement again. β
