A second after the clanging ended, the storage room fell silent, as if time had stopped.
"Leon?"
Hebrew turned around.
"Your Highness!"
Anne's pretty face was already trembling with fear, her cheeks streaked with tears.
P.S.: Well, nothing much to say, those who know, know. As usual, here's the picture.
Chapter 83 The Invincible, Supreme, and Overbearing Prince (Part 2)
If I were to describe the scene before Leon...
So, roughly speaking, Hebrew and Anne were facing each other, and Hebrew was straddling Anne's lap, pressing Anne firmly to the ground with both hands... To avoid causing discomfort, I won't go into further detail. This position is quite proper, and there's really not much to say about it.
Leon?
Oops, I forgot that this guy is still in the lab.
The morbid madness of lust on Hebrew's face vanished quickly upon seeing Leon. She then released her hands from Anne's wrists, calmly moved them away from Anne, and stood up.
“Hebrew, you’re quite bold. This is a royal palace.”
Leon crossed his arms and spoke indifferently.
“Your Highness Leon, this is a private matter between Miss Anne and me. Is it any of your business?”
The Hebrew's face showed undisguised displeasure.
"Private matter?"
"Yes, Anne and I are dating."
Hebrew laughed.
"Dating?"
Leon raised an eyebrow and looked at Anne, who, now freed from the Hebrew bondage, quickly wrapped her arms around her bent legs and curled up into a ball.
"No, Your Highness."
Anne retorted quickly, her voice trembling with tears.
"Tsk, Annie, don't forget, you're just a lowly servant girl. Don't force me to tear up the card. You've been hanging around me in the palace these past few days, trying to seduce me with all sorts of gestures. Do you think I didn't see through it?"
Hebrew looked at Anne with extreme disgust. "You want to have sex with me, isn't that what you've been hoping for? I'm just kindly fulfilling your vanity of wanting to climb the social ladder through me."
“Your Highness Leon, your maid is nothing but a whore. I was just cleaning her up for you. She's just a maid, and a trophy that His Majesty captured.”
Hebrew smiled and turned to Leon.
Based on her understanding of Leon, he despised repressed, lewd, and promiscuous women.
"Your Highness, that's not true, I didn't."
Anne's gaze fell on Leon, her voice trembling and utterly powerless.
She knew she was most likely doomed. Leon would definitely believe Hebrew's words, and based on her understanding of Leon, she knew she would be disliked by him. In that case, she... she was afraid she wouldn't live much longer.
"you shut up."
Hebrew raised his foot to kick Anne, but Leon stopped him with a raised hand.
Ok?
The Hebrews were somewhat surprised.
She and Leon had known each other since they were 15 years old when they awakened together in the palace. Leon was just as vicious as she, Hebrew, and logically speaking, he shouldn't care about the life or death of a mere maid.
"Stop it, Hebrew. I know what kind of person my maid is."
Leon walked around Hebrew, calmly stepped forward, and reached Anne's side.
"Your Highness, I didn't..."
Anne choked up, fear making it seem like she could only utter a few of the same words.
"Okay, don't be afraid. Tell me, I won't listen to her, I'll listen to you."
Leon spoke in a gentle tone.
"Leon, what are you doing?"
The Hebrews couldn't quite understand Leon.
This guy must have been scared out of his wits by Caesar's intimidation, right?
wrong!
First of all, it's not normal for him to let Helena go.
Could it be that Leon has been a pervert for so long that he's really gone mad?
"Your Highness, I..."
Anne looked at the gentle Leon, then at the fierce Hebrew, and was momentarily at a loss. She was bewildered and couldn't figure out what was going on.
Leon and Hebrew are both good people; it's impossible for one to be truly good. The only question is who is the worse one.
It's ridiculous. Just a few minutes ago, she thought Hebrew was a good person, but now he seems more like a bad person than Leon.
Moreover, the Hebrews' hostility has become very apparent.
So, why don't we just trust Leon?
“Your Highness, I have no relation to Mr. Hebrew. It was him who tried to humiliate me.”
Anne explained quickly.
"I'm humiliating you? So many girls want to sleep with me, why would I need to? Do you really think you're that attractive?"
The Hebrews scoffed.
"Leon, I'll teach this bitch a lesson for you."
After he finished speaking, Hebrew was about to take action.
"What exactly is going on here, Hebrew? Do you think I can't see it?"
Leon let out a cold laugh.
"Oh? So, what does Your Highness intend to do with me?"
Hebrew laughed.
If Leon were still the imposing regent prince, he might have been able to order Hebrew to be taken away, but now... he really poses no threat to Hebrew.
"What, Hebrew, are you trying to challenge the authority of the royal family?"
Leon scoffed.
Even if we can't touch her right now, she can't touch us either.
On the contrary, as long as Leon is not expelled from the Hoyle family, the Hebrews will still have to be wary of him.
"..."
Sure enough, Hebrew was stunned when Leon said this.
She remained silent, and her arrogant aura quickly dissipated.
No matter how bad things get, Leon is still a prince. He should back down. If you push Leon too far, she won't have a good time in the Fchester Empire.
"I advise you to behave yourself and not to have any ulterior motives towards my maid. This isn't the first time we've met. You know I always hate it when people touch my things."
Leon's tone was very calm and not aggressive at all, but it was threatening in every way.
“Leon…”
Hebrew gritted her teeth in frustration; she really wanted to punch Leon's nasty face, but she knew she couldn't.
The feeling of enduring in silence is truly unbearable.
"Farewell."
Hebrew didn't want to get entangled with Leon any longer, so she quickly left, looking dejected.
"Your Highness..."
After Hebrew left, Anne shifted back slightly and looked at Leon with some fear.
"Annie, there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world. You shouldn't have the heart to harm others, but you can't be without the heart to guard against them."
Leon spoke earnestly.
"Uh-huh."
Anne nodded seriously in agreement with Leon.
"Get up, why are you so scared? I'm not going to eat you."
Seeing Anne's trembling posture, Leon felt inexplicably like to laugh.
No way, no way, no way, I'm so handsome, I should be a good person no matter what, right?
Why do these guys always think of people as so evil?
"Your Highness, do you believe me?"
After a moment of silence, Anne spoke up timidly.
P.S.: Why did double updates actually speed up the drop in content? Tears.
Chapter 84 His Highness is a Good Person
"Your Highness, do you believe me?"
Anne looked up at Leon with a suspicious expression, her tear-streaked, pitiful face tilted up, while her fluffy white tail swayed gently from side to side on the ground.
Honestly, she looks kind of cute.
"What—you don't need my trust?"
However, Leon showed no signs of wavering in his actions, maintaining the same aloof and distant demeanor he always displayed when speaking to Anne and the others.
This isn't because Leon wants to be the "expressionless scumbag" beloved by most readers in a certain lolita-themed comic book, but because if Leon were to be too enthusiastic, it wouldn't be good for his public image.
In addition, Leon really had no intention of developing a further relationship with Anne.
Helena and Hazel alone are enough to keep Leon busy; if there are a few more grudges, Leon really can't afford to support them.
"No, it's just... thank you, Your Highness."
Anne hesitated, then lowered her head, avoiding Leon's gaze, and whispered.
It was a bit of a surprise!
Your Highness is currently being punished by the Emperor and confined to the palace, and is in a low point, yet you are still able to protect yourself so much in front of the powerful Mr. Hebrew.
This……
Although His Highness has a bad temper, he seems like a nice person.
Anne was now re-evaluating Leon.
The more Anne thought about it, the better she felt Leon was.
Like the Hebrews, who appear so warm, gentle, and charming on the surface, but are actually unexpected hypocrites in disguise.
As for Leon, although he has a bad temper and is unpredictable, he has never done anything too outrageous to himself or his colleagues over the years. Given his status, it wouldn't be difficult for him to force Lucy to serve him "in that aspect".
On the contrary, it was precisely because she and Lucy were Leon's maids that no one dared to touch them. After all, Anne was a normal girl, and she could feel the greedy and lustful gazes of the knights, head chefs, and others around her.
But that's not the point. The point is that Leon trusts him so much!
This was something Anne never expected. In this fake world, after losing her family, she had never felt trusted except by her best friend Lucy... She never imagined that Leon would be one of the people who trusted her!
So, I am someone His Highness can trust?
