Before Veronica could speak to Lance, the door of the prison opened again, and light footsteps could be heard in the distance. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Lance smiled, as if he had seen through everything: "Winnie, it seems that the first person to see me has arrived." Who do you think it would be?"
Veronica listened, "It's a woman, it's so light and bright." Could it be Eve?"
Lance laughed: "Haha, I dare say it's not Eve, believe me, Eve must be the last to come today, and it will be late at night." β
"Who could that be?" Veronica shook her head in confusion and pouted unhappily, "Could it be some kind of old friend or crush of yours?"
Lance leaned into Veronica's ear and whispered, "Winnie, are you jealous?"
Veronica immediately covered up her righteous words and said, "I didn't, what am I jealous of? You're all my fiancΓ©s!
"I also said that my wife won't be so narrow-minded. Wife, you admit that you are my wife again, why don't you kiss me?"
"Lance, don't be serious, who the hell could it be?" Veronica looked curiously into the prison hallway.
Lance sold: "Well, this woman...... After listening to you explain what happened, I can only say that she is the woman who wanted to kill us at that time. β
"Kill us?" said Veronica.
At this moment, the woman's voice came: "Miss Veronica, come and see your ...... Friends?"
"Miranda! it's you!" Veronica pulled her face down. The man in the distance is none other than Princess Miranda of the kingdom of Hitivita and her bodyguard Edwin.
And Princess Miranda, who was standing at the end of the corridor, didn't care about Veronica's hostility, but just smiled and said, "Miss Veronica, why do you look at me like this, a great benefactor?"
When Veronica heard this, she was angry, obviously in the arena before, this Miranda still wanted to use the marriage contract to harm Lance and herself. Veronica sneered disdainfully:
"Hmph, do we want you and Lance to give you a great gift for stealing our marriage contract and trying to put us to death?"
Miranda walked up to Veronica and said:
"Well said, as you say, Miss Veronica, I am only trying to, not having already put you to death. Didn't I reveal your little secret and that of Lord Lance? Otherwise, Lord Lance would not be in prison now, but on the gallows. Isn't it my kindness?"
"Don't play any word games. Veronica was powerless to refute for a while: "Your Highness Miranda, if it weren't for the meteorite of the demon god, I don't think you planned to send this kindness." β
"Hey, Miss Veronica, don't say that!" Princess Miranda deliberately raised her voice with a hint of deep meaning, "Listening to Miss Veronica, how do you seem to be in collusion with the Demon God!
"You!" Veronica was speechless.
And seeing Veronica, who was speechless, Princess Miranda also showed a proud smile. Princess Miranda grew up in court struggles. For her, it doesn't take a lot of effort to fight with her mouth, especially against a girl like Veronica who is too upright, dull and kind.
However, Lance on the side was very unhappy.
"Princess Miranda, is that so?" Lance raised his voice at the same time:
"In my opinion, your Royal Highness Princess Miranda should thank us! Not only that, but your entire kingdom of Hitivita should thank us!"
Princess Miranda looked at Lance: "I wonder how Your Excellency Lance imagined that he could say this? If I had shown the Duke of Aceh your marriage contract to Miss Veronica at that time, would you still think that you would be able to save your life and talk to me about it?"
"Pretend to be confused! Princess Miranda, you're not happy. That's why I don't like you and your country. Hypocrisy!"
"Shut up!" Hearing this, Miranda's guard Edwin drew his sword and scolded angrily, but was stopped by Princess Miranda.
Princess Miranda asked, "Oh, Lord Lance, tell me why I thank you?"
"Do you have to tell me about it?" ......Lance smiled disdainfully and said, "Princess Miranda, you just want your waste brother to join Eve's family, and then take this opportunity to marry, in order to plot against Idiris in the future." So you're anxious to make your brother a jousting champion. And I blocked your plans. So you're going to kill me, are you?"
"That's right!" replied Princess Miranda neatly, so that she could not hide it. But it caused Veronica to be dissatisfied.
Lance continued: "But when you see the meteorite falling from the sky, and the ultimatum of the Calamity Demon God Fatai, you know that at this time, if you continue to push for the marriage of the two kingdoms of Idiris and Hitivite. Then only now you kingdom of Hitivit will be drawn into a war, a terrible war. I'm right. β
Princess Miranda smiled and said, "That's right, as a married nation, it will definitely be involved in the war. β
"So, in order to avoid getting involved in the war, you, Princess Miranda, stopped harming me in time. Instead, he will plan and borrow the slope to get off the donkey. Keep me on as a champion. In this way, the marriage between your stupid brother and Eve will be in vain. And you can stay out of the invasion of the demons. I'm right. β
Princess Miranda said noncommittally, "Almost." β
Lance smiled and said in an unfriendly tone, "So, Your Highness the Princess. You should be grateful to me for beating up that stupid brother of yours and winning the championship. Otherwise, where did you come from my 'Poe' and the 'donkey' of the Duke of Aceh? I have helped you and your kingdom avoid war, and you think you should thank me?"
"Well, there's a little bit of truth. But one thing you're wrong about is that you're kicking, not beating."
Princess Miranda teased, "Then the princess will thank you on behalf of the people of our kingdom of Hitivit, thank you Knight Lance for saving them from the slaughter of war?"
Lance smiled: "Then I won't accept it, how can you thank me, the sinner in the iron bar, if you are a princess of a country?"
Princess Miranda immediately understood what Lance meant, so she waved her hand and said, "Someone, open the door of Lord Lance's cell, and we will go in and talk." β
So the cell boss hurried over and opened the door to Lance's prison.
As soon as the door opened, Veronica rushed in a few steps, hugged Lance and cried: "Lance! β
Lance patted Veronica on the back and comforted, "Winnie, okay, stop crying. I don't have anything to do with scolding, don't worry, when I see Princess Miranda coming, I know I'm about to go out. β
When Princess Miranda heard this, she asked curiously, "Your Excellency Lance, why did you know that you were leaving this cell when you saw me coming?"
"Because I'm valuable to you. Why do you want me to tell me everything? Are you testing me?"
Lance took Veronica's hand and sat down on the hay shop beside him, and said with a smile, "Because if I had been of no value to Your Highness Miranda, you would have poisoned me during the game." And not some asthenic medicine. You're not going to send this strong, brown-skinned knight behind you to send me a message to retire from the race. There will be no spare time, deigning to accompany me to watch the snakes, insects, rats and ants in the prison. So I'm valuable to you. In other words, I'm in prison, and I'm worthless to you. So you're here to let me out. β
Miranda smiled and said, "It seems that I was overthinking, but I was right." Lance, you're really not easy!"
