Chapter 832: The CP
Chapter 832: The CP
"Halt!"
Just as Princess Catherine was trying her best to move her legs, hoping to escape the rigid state brought on by fear, the source of her stress was stopped outside the High Witch Court by two teams of guards.
"Lord Leon!"
Leading the two teams of bald-headed monk soldiers with their shining heads, they blocked the intimidating Lionheart Prince. A fat monk with a peculiar scar on his head emerged from the High Witch Court, standing firmly before the Evil Prince, his eyes filled with anger.
"The Sorcerer King Ritual will not be held for another three days. What are you trying to achieve by bringing people here now?"
This bald monk... was probably the leader of the Blessing Monk Society.
After assessing the fat monk in front of him, the Evil Prince couldn't help but raise his eyebrows slightly. He then stroked the strange black cat in his arms and responded with a detached expression:
"I didn't come here for the ritual, but for Princess Catherine... How much longer will it be before she can come out?"
You disrespectful fool!
Completely infuriated by Leon's casual attitude, the fat monk struggled to suppress the anger in his heart. With a cold face, he directly ordered:
"Please leave immediately! Princess Catherine is busy preparing for the Sorcerer King Ritual and has no time to receive your visit!"
Hmm?
Upon hearing the fat monk's words, Leon, who had been lingering on the road for over two hours with the resistance provided by Bedtime Story, couldn't help but feel overjoyed.
"Okay, I'll leave right away!"
"???"
After being driven away, Leon, who didn't even bother to argue, turned and left with the black cat in his arms. The leader of the Blessing Monk Society couldn't help but widen his eyes, slightly disbelieving what was happening before him.
Wait... As an ambitious person, aren't you being too easygoing? And speaking of which, you brought so many people here with such an intimidating manner, only to be turned away by a minor setback here? You... you...
"Wait!"
Amidst the fat monk's extremely confused expression, Princess Catherine, who was supposedly "busy" and "had no time," suddenly rushed out of the inner courtyard, shaking off the maid tugging at her dress. She anxiously called out to the Lionheart Prince:
"Don't go! Wait!"
Accompanying Princess Catherine's timid call, a pitch-black raven circled in the air a few times before quietly folding its wings and landing on the bone spire of the High Witch Court. Its coal-black eyes stared fixedly at Leon's back.
With the raven's peculiar "gaze," countless thin, hair-like invisible threads emerged from every person present, intertwining and twisting around each other to form solid rope circles. These ropes flew towards Leon, who was moving away.
In the raven's eyes, as dark as deep pools, whenever these rope circles, created by Bedtime Story, were about to land on Leon, they would be repelled by a crimson glow, with over half of them being deflected. Only less than half managed to succeed.
In contrast, the black cat in Leon's arms, despite having the Evil Prince's body as a shield, was tightly bound by the invisible threads, only able to move slightly when Leon stroked its body with the help of the crimson glow.
What exactly is this red light?
After staring at the resilient and fiery red glow for a few moments, unable to comprehend its nature, the raven, the embodiment of Tale of Illusions, lifted its wings and waved them slightly towards Leon.
In the world that only it could see, the threads on the man and the cat instantly straightened, temporarily concealing the red glow with their sheer number. The Evil Prince, attempting to take advantage of the situation to leave, was pulled back like a puppet, manipulated by the invisible threads on his body.
...
Damn it... The closer we get to the plot node, the more potent the binding effect of Bedtime Story becomes... What the hell did Tale of Illusions do?
Why has the "Bedtime Story" been suddenly empowered so much?
Feeling as if he was walking through a deep pool, his body heavy and sluggish, Li Yong couldn't help but turn around and, following the predetermined plot of the "Tale of Illusions," he faced the "Princess Catherine" who was running towards him. With a cold smile, she said,
"Princess Kateline, you finally decided to come out and see me."
"I..."
Facing the Food God's cold and angry expression, "Princess Catherine" felt her legs go weak, and she instinctively took a step back. Then, in a voice as faint as a mosquito's buzz, she continued the scripted dialogue:
"If I didn't come out, you... you would probably cause a big scene, right?"
"Haha, I'm not that rude."
'Since... since you're not rude, then please... please behave like a proper guest and be mindful... mindful of your words and actions...'
"I have my own way of doing things, so you don't need to worry about me!"
"..."
Accordinging to the original plot of the "Tale of Illusions," this was probably the second node of conflict. Whether it was the righteous "Princess Catherine" or the evil Lionheart Prince, their words were completely confrontational, but the "actors" on both sides were truly out of character.
Bound by the "Bedtime Story," Li Yong retained some autonomy, but not completely controlled, nor did he have the patience to pretend. His lines were as stiff as day-old steamed buns, lacking the cunning and sinister style of an ambitious politician.
As for the "Princess Catherine," who was trembling all over due to the "Disaster Avoidance" and whose legs were as soft as noodles, she was already doing her best just to stand. She almost buried her head in her chest, and her voice was as faint as a mosquito's wings.
The original text can be found on Book 69@!
While these two were awkwardly reciting their lines, trying to get through the scene as quickly as possible, the two groups confronting each other outside the High Witch Court fell into a silent, wordless silence.
The reason was simple; the couple at the entrance looked so much like a couple that it was overwhelming.
Prince Lyon had come with an intimidating presence, and Princess Kateline, who had received the message, was late to come out. But when Prince Lyon was about to leave in a huff, she hurriedly ran out to stop him. This situation felt odd no matter how one looked at it.
As for the subsequent "confrontational" conversation, it was filled with a strong sense of bittersweetness.
Although Prince Lyon had turned to leave, when he heard the call, he immediately turned back and stopped. The line, "Princess Kateline, you finally decided to come out and see me," sounded less like a confrontation between enemies and more like an angry question from a lover who had been avoided.
Princess Kateline's weak response, "If I didn't come out, you... you would probably cause a big scene, right?" perfectly confirmed this guess.
Prince Lyon's subsequent "Haha, I'm not that rude" was clearly a show of petulance, indicating that since she chose to handle private affairs officially, he would do the same.
Princess Kateline's soft reminder to "behave like a proper guest" and "be mindful of your words and actions" was less of a stern warning and more of a tearful plea, hoping that he would remain faithful to his wife and control the love in his heart, not doing anything too outrageous.
Prince Lyon's statement, "I have my own way of doing things, so you don't need to worry about me!" was clearly a declaration of his intention to love passionately, ignoring societal norms...
These two must have some issues!
After looking at the Lionheart Prince, who had brought people to "knock on the door," and was staring fiercely, and then at Princess Kateline, who was blushing and looking down shyly, the crowd couldn't help but exchange strange glances, and then miraculously reached a certain consensus.
In this atmosphere, even a dog passing by would know that these two have something going on!
