"Leon, don't you have any clothes to change into?"
Olivia asked with concern, and then naturally began to wipe Leon's face with a clean towel.
Milenu was slightly surprised to see this scene. After glancing at Angelica's reaction behind her, she smiled slightly.
"No. I only prepared this one outfit. The rest are in the dorm. Anyway, I'm not planning to open for business anymore, given what happened today."
Lyon said with a sigh, though inwardly he was screaming like a pig.
"We've already made so much money today, who would want to keep operating? This kind of thing only makes a quick buck; next it's time to bet on the matches. Hahaha..."
Although he was inwardly frantic, Leon showed no outward sign as he presented the brewed black tea to Milenu.
"Your Highness, please have some."
Milenu nodded slightly to Lyon, then picked up the black tea, took a small sip, and her smooth neck was now on full display.
At this moment, Lyon began to observe Milenu's attire.
Because she was traveling incognito, Milenu did not wear any of the fancy and exquisite clothes. Instead, she chose a long dress that was mainly white with light blue accents.
The white corset covered her playful chest, while the belt around her waist revealed her slender figure—neither too thin nor too plump, just right. Coupled with her long white hair and lovely, stunning face, she exuded captivating charm.
"Leon, I'm very angry right now."
Mylene put down her teacup, trying her best to look angry, staring intently at Leon as if to say, 'I'm about to make things difficult for you.'
Leon smiled slightly as he looked at Mylene's expression, then began an extremely exaggerated performance. His entire demeanor instantly became incredibly forlorn, as if he were a kingdom about to face betrayal from everyone.
"Livia, I won't be able to stay with you anymore. Angel, you must take good care of Livia... I..."
Lyon's voice was filled with feigned despair, and his eyes were filled with the pain and reluctance of parting. He knelt down on one knee before Milenu, took her delicate hand, and placed it on his head.
"Um, Leon, what's wrong with you...?"
Feeling the touch of a stranger, Milenu trembled almost imperceptibly, and her pretty face became somewhat nervous.
"Your Highness, you don't need to say anything! I already know what to do next! Waaah~"
Leon tried hard to force his tears out, but failed.
"Your Highness, I will commit suicide. But! Please spare my family, and especially Livia and Ange! They...they are innocent!"
Leon's choked voice convinced Milen and Olivia that it was real.
"No, Leon. We...we promised to...waaaah..."
Olivia's glistening tears slid down her cheeks, and Leon immediately felt tense and guilty.
"No, that's not it! No, that's not it. You, you... Ange, please help me!"
Seeing Olivia's tears, Milen panicked, looking like a naive young girl who had been tricked, which was quite adorable.
"Your Highness, you also need Livia. Lyon is just playing a trick on you."
Angelica said through gritted teeth, then punched Leon without caring about her image, and began to comfort Olivia.
"Hehe. I'm really sorry, Livia still needs a princess."
Leon apologized to Olivia first, then to Milen, the order being the opposite of normal. But Leon saw this as perfectly normal, because Olivia was more important to him.
"Leon, you're really awful. Not only do you like to play pranks on people, but your fighting style is also vulgar."
Milenu finished speaking with a slight blush, then picked up her teacup and took a sip without regard for her image, trying to hide the flush on her face.
"Ahem. Your Highness. As a knight, I will choose the most effective means of combat for the sake of the country and your safety, which is the most effective without killing anyone."
Lyon stood up and spoke with an air of righteous indignation.
However, Milenu, who had already been tricked once, was not so easily convinced.
"Alright, Mr. Leon. I won't waste any more time chatting with you. I'm going to get straight to the point now, Mr. Leon."
Seeing Milenu's serious expression, Leon returned to normal.
"Please speak, Your Highness."
"Leon, I'm here today as a mother to complain to you about the duel with Julius!"
After hearing this, Lyon lowered his head and began to think.
The classroom fell silent for a moment. Milenu, Olivia, and Angelica all focused their attention on Leon, waiting for his answer.
"Your Highness, I would like to confirm if you were serious about your complaint just now, when you said you were only complaining from the perspective of a mother?"
Lyon asked again, somewhat uncertainly, because being a princess and being a mother were completely different things to him.
The former might have some reservations, but not many; the latter is the same.
"Yes, Mr. Lyon."
Mylene is a gentle woman who would never use her power to oppress others. Therefore, her complaints about Leon will only come from her perspective as a mother.
"In that case, I'm sorry, Miss Milenu."
As he spoke, Leon turned to look at Olivia and Angelica.
"Livia, and Ange too. We can pack up and go home now. We'll eat and drink as we please, the usual place, it's on me!"
Lyon's carefree voice rang out, and Milenu froze on the spot, as if frozen in place.
Olivia and Angelica both sighed at Leon's behavior, then turned him towards Milenu and forcibly pressed him onto the sofa.
“Lyon, you can’t do that. You need to listen carefully to the princess… this mother’s complaints.”
Olivia spoke earnestly and resumed wiping Lyon's clothes, which were wet with red tea.
"Bartofart, don't even think about running away. You'd better listen carefully, or Livia and I won't be so polite."
Angelica gave Leon a threatening look, then made him a cup of black tea as well.
"Ahem, alright then. Miss Milenu, before I start complaining, I'd like to ask you a question. Are you twenty-seven or twenty-six years old this year?"
Leon asked cautiously, bracing himself for a scolding. He knew all too well that asking a woman's age was a very risky thing to do.
"Huh? Why would Leon ask that? I'm thirty-one years old now. I'm not that young anymore. Really."
Milen was overjoyed that Lyon saw her as a woman in her twenties, waving her hands shyly.
"Haha. No, not at all. Miss Myrenu, you look very young. I, Leon von Bartofarth, am the most honest knight in the kingdom."
Lyon spoke seriously, without the slightest hint of shame on his face.
“I understand, Mr. Leon. Now, may I ask you a question, you most honest knight of the kingdom?”
"Um, can I refuse?"
Looking at Mylene's smiling face, Leon suddenly realized the inappropriateness of his previous statement.
He dug another hole for himself.
“Damn it, Leon. Damn it. Now you’d better answer me honestly.”
"I understand, please ask."
Lyon lowered his head, looking like a defeated man trying to find a crack to crawl into.
"Leon, my question is very simple. It's about whether you prefer Angela or Livia. Please answer honestly!"
Milenu said with a grin, her face calm and harmless, but her words pointed directly to the three people's vitals.
"Sigh~"
Leon gasped, because Olivia had pinched his shoulder hard from behind.
Bang bang!
Angelica, who was making tea, accidentally knocked over a teacup. After apologizing, she lowered her head and began wiping it without saying a word. But her ears were still waiting for Leon's reply.
She's so cute, the kind of girl who'd be easy to fool, but how come she's so difficult to deal with the moment she opens her mouth? Oh well, looks like I guess I'll just have to…
I answered truthfully!
Lyon stood up, his eyes filled with a sense of tragic determination!
"Leon, you'd better think this through, okay? You can't lie."
When Milennu's sweet voice came, Angelica and Olivia stopped what they were doing and waited nervously for Leon's answer.
How the relationship between the three of them develops in the future will depend on Leon's next answer!
“Miss Milenu, to be honest, I don’t want to answer your question. But since I’ve already agreed, I will definitely tell you the truth.”
Leon glanced at Olivia and Angelica, then stared intently at Milenu, causing her cheeks to flush red.
"Leon, he... he's looking me straight in the eye. This child really, really..."
“Miss Milenu, I like both Livia and Angela very much, but I like Livia a little more. Because I've spent more time with her!”
puff!
Angelica accidentally bumped the table.
"However, as time goes by with Ange, my feelings for her will become the same as for Olivia. They are both equally important to me! Right now, I can't do things like give my life for them. But..."
"Leon~"
Olivia blushed, cupped her hands, and lowered her head, only to see the shoes instead.
Angelica's wiping of the table slowed down, and she seemed somewhat distracted; her earlobes were burning hot.
“But now I am willing to offend many people for them, even His Highness Julius, the Prince, or you, or even the kingdom!”
Anger turned into tension.
"However, I believe that with the wise and intelligent Queen Milenu around, the kingdom will not let me, or the knights who have dedicated themselves to the kingdom's strength, be disheartened."
After Leon finished speaking, he knelt down on one knee. The whole action was incredibly sincere, without the slightest pretense, and he appeared completely open and honest!
[How could Leon say something like that...]
At this moment, Angelica's mind was in complete turmoil. She didn't dare to lift her head, not wanting anyone to see her strange state.
"Leon, you're so mean."
Olivia placed her hands in front of her and spoke in a voice only she could hear.
Mylene looked at Leon with excitement and joy in her eyes, as if the couple she had been shipping had finally gotten together.
“Mr. Lyon, that’s a very greedy thing to say.”
“I know, Miss Milenu. But these are my true feelings.”
Lyon's face also turned slightly red, but thanks to his thick skin, he didn't end up as embarrassed as Olivia and Angelica.
"I understand, but... Leon, even so, I still have to complain."
Volume 2 School Life: Chapter 46 I'm sorry for your mother! Julius!
"I understand, but... Leon, even so, I still have to complain."
A triumphant look crossed Milenu's face as she began to voice her complaints.
"Mr. Lyon, first of all, I thank you for spending time with my willful child. But that child is also causing trouble at school. He's usually so cold to girls at the palace, but he's with a girl from a viscount's family. It's really annoying."
Having witnessed Leon's somewhat excessive fighting style, Mylenu now thinks Leon's decision-making methods in Julius weren't so outrageous after all. So what was meant by complaining was actually more like a mother expressing her dissatisfaction with her son.
Simply put, it's complaining.
"Leon, if only that child had someone as outstanding as you by his side. Zeke, who should be giving advice, is instead staying with the child. It's really worrying."
“It’s alright, Miss Milenu. Julius is doing quite well with his current life. After all, given Julius’s current situation, becoming king might actually be a bad thing. Please forgive my presumptuousness.”
Julius's current actions make it extremely difficult for him to become a competent king. If he does manage to ascend the throne, he is likely to be overthrown by his own brothers.
"That's true. But have you thought about your own situation, Lyon? There are many people in the palace who are hostile towards you."
Milenu ended the conversation about her good-for-nothing son and turned to ask about Lyon's future plans.
"As for myself? I've made some good plans. If there are no problems in the future, I plan to live in my own territory, watching the sun rise and set with the girl I love, and feeling the passage of time together in a beautiful sea of flowers. By now, all the flowers planted in my territory should have sprouted."
Based on geographical information from the previous life, Lyon's territory should be located in a subtropical region, with a warm climate all year round. With scientific planting, it is possible to have flowers blooming all year round.
As Olivia and Angelica listened to Leon's words, they were reminded of the flowers Leon had given them that day, the flower field, and the future sea of flowers.
"Hmm~, I see. I thought Leon would work hard to make money, or join the army and get promoted or something. After all, Leon is quite interested in combat these days."
