Am I ...... Fooled?

After leaving with the small gift given to Anna by the princess and refusing the royal carriage to send him home, Leon, who was standing at the gate of the palace and blowing the night breeze, felt that his mood at the moment was very complicated.

Cunning bad woman......

The few questions she asked at the beginning included the big difference in cognition, the busy work on both sides, the troubles caused by being a prince, and what she really wanted was the Lane family, not herself...... And so on and so forth.

Although the princess said a lot to herself, these fundamental problems that really made her mind to reject this marriage seemed to have not been solved in the last one.

But even if the situation has not changed at all compared with before, not only did she not withdraw from this marriage, but she was even firmly gloved by her, and she promised not to blame her, not to abandon her, to give her a chance, and never to mention the divorce first.

If it weren't even for the fact that at the critical moment, he barely regained some of his senses, it is estimated that even the specific wedding date would have to be set on the spot, and he would have been completely tied up to death by the cunning princess.

But the strange thing is that even though he knew that he had fallen into a big trap, when he thought of the princess just holding herself, those gentle and soft words, and the pair was full of herself...... At the very least, it looks like his eyes are full, but he can't be angry with her anyway......

Man...... Bah!

After smacking out of his uncompetitive self in his heart, Leon couldn't help but sigh, and then walked down the steps with a rather complicated expression, and a more complicated mood.

……

Call...... It seems that Leon will not come back to divorce in a short time.

In Leon, he admitted that he had failed to withdraw from the marriage, and he was gloomy...... After walking down the steps not very gloomy, a certain fishing master who was looking over the balcony couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief.

People who want status often pay more attention to face, take the lead in giving enough respect, and generally can pry the other party's attitude; People who want power tend to be more practical, and if they want to reach a consensus, they need to give immediate benefits;

And although people who want wealth are also very realistic, if they can show a good enough prospect, they are even willing to accept empty promises, and the real difficulty is actually the kind of people who want nothing.

Fishing is bait, but Leon doesn't want status, power, and wealth, and his identity as a princess is even a burden and trouble for him.

So if he really bites to death and has to break the marriage contract anyway, then he really has no choice but to watch this big fish get off the hook and leave, shaking his head and tail back to the river and sea.

Fortunately, in order to put Leon in the position of Duke Lionheart, he did a lot of research in advance and knew him well, so he barely caught his weakness......

The heart is soft, and the skin is not thick enough.

Even if he made up his mind to withdraw from the marriage, with his character, he would never speak ill of him, and this gave him room to turn around and pull, and even rely on the initiative to express his favor, making it difficult for him to refuse directly and stabilize the situation.

And when he takes the initiative to reveal the bottom line, makes it clear that he is his only choice, and behaves helpless and weak enough, so that "voluntary repentance" becomes a choice with a sense of guilt, then with Leon's character, he will definitely not be able to open his mouth.

What a mean woman I am......

Looking at Leon's distant back, the princess on the balcony was silent for a while, with a slight apology in her moist eyes.

I'm sorry......

But even if there is such and such careful thinking behind it, everything I said just now is actually true, and marrying you is indeed my best choice, and it can even be said to be the only choice, because only marriage with you can give me the power to change the kingdom.

Six years ago, I was a step too late, and I couldn't save those who died in the war, and those figures who were burned out in the orange and yellow flames became a nightmare that repeatedly tortured me in the middle of countless nights.

And if I don't seize the opportunity to change the kingdom six years later, with the current state of the kingdom, the nightmare that is even more painful than the previous one will surely come again.

Maybe it's selfish, but I really don't want to regret it anymore!

After watching Leon fade away until even his back disappeared into the night, the princess sighed softly and left the balcony, sat back at her desk, and opened the unfinished paperwork.

And on the shelf behind the princess, an old tin doll with half of her cheeks shattered was quietly staring at the back of her desk work, revealing a strange smile with a little grievance.

……

"Duke Lionheart enters the palace at night, and the princess's good things are coming? 》

"Historic private meeting, the royal girl faction will be in power! 》

Beauty or Power? The lion and the robin's peace! 》

Shocked! Duke Lionheart will meet the princess at night, and the two may marry their sons? 》

《……》

"Everyone who can come here must already know the news."

After patting the newspapers on the table with various headlines, but in fact they all talked about the same thing, the man in a brown suit frowned and said:

"I won't say anything superfluous, this time I invite everyone to come here to discuss only one thing - what are you going to do with this stupid duke who threatens to make the entire Lane family a dowry and is ready to marry the princess?"

What do we want to do? The question now shouldn't be what we can do?

After the old nobles who had been invited looked at each other for a moment, an old earl with white hair stood up first, and proposed with a look of righteous indignation:

"Abolish him, of course!

Seven of the seventeen most important departments of the kingdom are already controlled by the royal family, and if the road administration and military departments occupied by the Lane family also fall, then more than half of the departments are controlled by her! Coupled with the seat of the deputy speaker of the Upper House of the Lane family, then even if we join forces with the House of Commons, we may not be able to beat the princess!

So he must be abolished! If that idiot is allowed to sit in the duke's seat again, what will we do in the future? Do you just snort at someone? ”

"But the question is how to get rid of him? Who else is going to depose him? ”

When the old earl had finished speaking, another nobleman beside him sighed:

"After the bloody night of Lane, almost all the people who are qualified to stand up in the Lane family have died, leaving only one clan elder who has little real power in the past, if I have to say it, I can barely add a newly elected family governor.

But during the previous knighthood ceremony, the old duke's butler had a heart attack, and the only remaining clan elder was so angry that he had a stroke, and the newly elected governor was also scared of the lionheart duke who slapped the prince. ”
