Chapter 242: The Princess's Fishing Scheme
My ideal wife?
Upon hearing the princess's question, Lyon, who had never considered this before, was momentarily taken aback. He then began to ponder along this line of thought.
Firstly, they must have a common language and be able to communicate comfortably. At the very least, their values shouldn't differ too much; otherwise, it would be a mess, and it's better to stay single.
Secondly, their appearance and figure shouldn't be too bad. After all, finding a wife isn't about making friends. If there's no mutual attraction, then there's no point in discussing anything further.
Lastly, she should get along with Anna and the others, be a harmonious sister-in-law, love children, and accept the work of the Purification Bureau, and be prepared for the possibility of losing her husband at any time..."
"Would you mind if I summarize this for you?"
After listening to Lyon's thoughts, the princess couldn't help but smile. With a gentle curve to her eyebrows, she summarized, "You've said a lot, but it all boils down to three conditions: someone you can talk to, someone you find attractive, and someone who can accept your family situation. Am I right in my summary?"
Lyon was silent, realizing that the princess had subtly changed the three deal-breakers into scoring criteria without him noticing. He thought about it and nodded again, not voicing any disagreement.
At this moment, without any objection, you're not getting away~ The princess, seeing Lyon already following her lead, couldn't help but lift the corners of her lips. She gently loosened the fishing line in her hand, allowing the fish to continue swimming in the pool, and with a smile, she took the initiative to change the topic.
"Speaking of consideration... Lyon, do you have any other 'candidates' in mind?"
Could you tell me about it?"
Another candidate?
Upon hearing the princess's words, Lyon's mind suddenly flashed with several figures uncontrollably.
The first one that popped up was a stunning redhead...
Stop right there! Stop this nonsense right now!
Recalling the mountain of empty bottles in the director's office and the times he nearly drowned in the wine vat, Lyon shuddered, immediately squashing this deadly thought.
Aside from the director, who is as good as marrying an ocean of wine, there's Emma, my senior. She's gentle, mature, kind to me, fair-skinned, beautiful, and capable, with a large guillotine in her house... Hmm...
Thinking about the room full of bloodstained torture instruments and that two-and-a-half-meter-tall hanging guillotine, Lyon shuddered and wisely abandoned the idea.
Then... Isla? But she's so busy with her secret police work, we'd probably be apart more than together. And she's a master at kicking eggs, but even though she's a top-notch friend with excellent character and loyalty, if we were to marry, we'd probably be in a constant state of chaos, and it might easily lead to broken eggs and kicked dogs... No! Absolutely not!
The wealthy young lady, Amy? Hmm... Although she seems to have some intentions in that regard, I don't quite feel the same way, and I haven't interacted with her much, so it doesn't seem very suitable either...
After running through these options in his mind, Lyon was somewhat speechless to find that among the females he had more contact with, aside from his sister Anna, the most suitable person for marriage seemed to be the princess before him.
Putting aside other factors, with the princess's influence, at least he wouldn't have to worry about domestic peace. Moreover, she was very accepting of the possibility of losing her husband, and she could also take good care of her younger siblings if something were to happen to him...
...
That's about it~
According to his previous investigations, if he were to evaluate them based on those three standards, Lyon couldn't find any female he knew of who could offer better conditions than himself.
Noticing Lyon's wandering gaze finally returning to her, the princess, as expected, gave a cunning smile and slowly reeled him in:
"You've thought about it a lot, but in the end, you still think I'm the best choice, right?"
"..."
"Don't worry, I'm not one of those girls who are all about love. I don't mind being your second choice. For me, the outcome is far more important than the process."
Moving closer to the sofa and sitting a little closer, the princess took Lyon's hand and spoke softly:
"I know you might want a purer marriage, and you feel that our engagement is mixed with too many other things, and my intentions are too strong.
But aside from you, all my other 'choices' would have to leave the capital, even the kingdom, giving up everything I've worked for all these years.
So, whether you believe it or not, in my heart, no other 'choice' can compare to you. You are the only prince candidate in my heart."
Pressing Lyon's hand against her heart, letting him feel her heartbeat, the princess stood up and knelt on the sofa, looking down at Lyon, who wanted to escape. She spoke sincerely:
"Lyon, I'm very certain that you are my best choice, and I also have the confidence to become your best choice!
Trust me, even if you're not ready yet, don't directly reject this marriage. Give me, and yourself, a chance!"
"..."
Have we... taken the wrong script?
