Public trial?You deserve it too!

Claude thought the system was air, and just walked forward with his head sullen.

Then his nose hit the hard steel plate. Claude held his nose and looked forward, only to find that what he saw was not the maid's long solid back, but Margaret who was flushed and dying of shame and anger.

She was facing Claude.

"……sorry!"

Whether it was his behavior or what he was thinking, it was too rude to a young girl, so Claude even skipped the subconscious sophistry and apologized directly.

"You can't come to me as a maid just because you can't do something too extreme with His Highness—it's also impossible!" Margaret had obvious shame and panic on her face, "I, I'm not The kind of guy who will seduce his master and is shameless! Also, and! You must be loyal enough to His Highness!"

The head maid was a little incoherent, and she couldn't even tell whether she was warning or defending herself.

"...Miss Margaret?."

"……excuse me."

The head maid took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed her expression.

"Anyway, anyway, His Royal Highness Christina is waiting for you inside, please come in."

"Uh... ah, uh, okay."

Claude felt that it was better not to talk any more, he sighed in his heart, and pushed open the door of the kitchen.

Christina was sitting at a dining table inside.

"Your Highness, the minister has come in."

Claude also took a deep breath and walked in. Behind him, Margaret closed the door silently.

"Ah, Claude, you're here."

Christina looked up at Claude as if awakened from a dream.

"Come, come here, sit down. I asked the chef to prepare a lot of food for you. You must be starving, right?"

Christina affectionately pushed the plate in front of her, which contained a lot of delicacies.

The boy didn't hold back either. After the system confirmed that the food in front of him was free of poison and that there were no knives and axes on his sides, he started eating quickly, just like last time, without paying attention to etiquette.

"Eat slowly."

The girl picked up a silver jug ​​and poured a glass of orange juice for Claude. The boy paused, thanked him, and drank it down. Then Christina poured him another glass.

"Well, I always feel that you have a little bit of a relationship with me. Is it because of your engagement to Leticia?"

Christina looked at Claude with a look of loneliness on her face.

"No, Your Highness, I just feel a little flattered."

Claude almost choked himself to death, and quickly took another sip from his cup. This was the first time he saw such an expression on the face of Christina, a happy girl.

"Maybe it's better to let Letitia come to accompany you, but she is still young and has to sleep at the prescribed time, so she can't wait for you until now."

Claude shook his head quickly.

"You are joking, Your Highness, it's just that I think it's very similar to the last time, and I was a little distracted for a while."

"...to be distracted, ah, then you seem to be a little distracted outside." Christina showed a faint smile, "When I heard Margaret closing the door, her heart was beating very fast, and the blood flow was also a little faster , looks very excited—do you know what kind of rude move you did to her?"

Claude only felt a little scalp tingling, is this really the former Christina who only knew about afternoon tea?Also, the door is at least tens of meters away from here, right?This His Royal Highness can use Jung's lie detector magic from such a long distance, and can also accurately understand the heartbeat frequency and blood flow speed-this hand is at least a tower mage, right?

[The magic power of the Highness on the opposite side far exceeds that of ordinary high tower mages, and is even close to the realm of mages. It's just that her weak body prevents her from being able to exert her due ability. s reason. 】

"Ahem, Your Highness, I was just thinking about other things when I was walking, so I accidentally bumped into Miss Margaret. It was just a misunderstanding."

Claude immediately began to seek revenge.

"Oh? That's right. What Maggie said—"If you can't do anything violent with His Highness, go to her" is also a misunderstanding?"

"I have absolutely no such thoughts in my heart! It's really just that Miss Margaret misunderstood me. She said that Princess Diana was dissatisfied with Her Royal Highness Letitia's engagement so early, so she also had some opinions on me. This is just prejudice. .”

Claude is not a thin-skinned head maid, he speaks clearly and convincingly.

"Your Highness, you know me. It was a marriage offered by His Majesty. I couldn't refuse it. It's definitely not true that I plotted against His Highness Letitia from the very beginning! Think about it, Your Highness is only twelve... 13 She is still a young girl, how could I fall in love with her?"

I don't know if it was Claude's own illusion. He seemed to see Christina smiling very proudly just now?

"Really? But, in the Roman palace, His Majesty was the first person to marry me, but you refused to marry me in front of His Majesty. In the end, His Majesty said Leticia's name, and you accepted."

Christina's expression was still so peaceful, but Claude realized that the real proposition was coming.

He put down the knife and fork in his hand with a serious face, picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth, carefully adjusted the angle of his face in Christina's eyes, with a wry smile on the corner of his mouth, and with a bit of helplessness, between his brows A little bit of unwillingness and loneliness towards fate, and finally let the two eyes look sincerely at the eyes of Her Royal Highness, and the beauty of the other party is reflected in the pupils.

"Your Highness, did I really categorically reject your marriage to His Majesty in front of everyone, and then agreed to be engaged to Princess Letitia?"

Christina looked at Claude a little blankly, and then was suddenly awakened: "What, what?"

Become!

Claude was so determined that he was already [-]% sure.

"Your Highness, what I said was—[I must make the name of Kaos shine again], after that, His Highness changed his words, saying that he wanted His Highness Leticia to marry me, and I used She refused with the reason of [His Highness is too young], but was rejected by His Majesty because she was engaged beforehand, that's why the situation is here today."

Claude's voice was very soft, with three parts of calm, three parts of self-deprecating, three parts of resignation, and a trace of undetectable pain.

—In fact, only pain is real.

Christina obviously also noticed the knight's unusual expression of emotion. She subconsciously recalled the scene at that time and found that, as Claude said, the knight refused twice in a row, and the first time didn't even count as rejection. It's just that Claude said his wish, and the emperor's grandfather gave up his marriage very decisively and replaced him with Letitia. When Claude clearly refused, he was very resolutely engaged by His Majesty .

"But... why is that?"

"I only figured it out later, why Your Majesty stopped forcing Your Highness to marry me when I just said that I wanted to revitalize the family—because you, Your Highness Christina, are impossible to marry!"

The girl was stunned by this sentence, and subconsciously wanted to refute—how can there be any reason for a princess not to marry?It's not that a prince has only one daughter as an only seedling and must recruit someone to marry him.

However, Claude didn't give her a chance to speak, and took up his own words very quickly - after all, the biggest key point of fooling a person is to force the other party's thinking, so that the other party can only think along his own words.

"Because Your Highness, you have been confirmed by His Majesty as the candidate for the next Crown Prince!"

A silence.

Christina was so shocked by Claude's words that she couldn't say anything. She was confused and stared at Claude blankly. Change back to the stove that only knows how to eat small biscuits for afternoon tea.

Claude let out a sigh of relief, and knew that Christina had just learned about the theory of monarchy. How could it be said that the other party evolved from a silly white sweet to a queen after not seeing each other for half a year?If you step up the pace a little bit, it will be a bit beyond the processing range of the other party's brain.

'It seems that the situation is good, and I can continue to rely on flickering to get this princess to do things for me. '

[...I always feel that you are playing with fire. 】

'It doesn't matter, as long as she doesn't have any problems in the past few years of my development in the imperial capital, after I marry her sister later, it's done, so what else can there be?With a thick barrier like my brother-in-law, no matter what trouble she wants to cause me, she will be concerned about her sister's feelings. '

[...I can't say, but I think there is something wrong with your mentality. 】

'All right, all right, just watch me operate. '

The nine-point certainty in Claude's heart has risen to ten, and he continues to look at Christina sincerely and affectionately.

"Your Highness, it is clear that His Majesty has made up his mind about the matter of the subject being married. No matter what, the subject will have a princess wife, but why did His Majesty never mention His Highness after the subject expressed his ambition? It must be because, if If it is Your Highness who marries me, then the minister’s surname must be changed, and throughout the ages, the only situation where the surname of a person married to the royal family needs to be changed is the possibility that His Majesty has appointed you as the Empress!”

Christina chewed on Claude's words repeatedly, and the more she thought about it, the more reasonable she felt.

Whether it is acquaintance and acquaintance with Claude, whether it is the marriage partner proposed by the emperor's grandfather, or even a happy...

It was me, it was me first, obviously I came first!

——Why did His Majesty change his name to Leticia!

Then there is only one possibility, that is, if he wants to be with Claude, the other party must abandon his surname and change it to the royal surname.And the word "marriage" will be such a big blow to the young man who thinks that he is inspiring to revitalize his family. It is destroying his ambition and torturing his soul. It is something that Claude will never agree to!

These days are very troublesome...

In short, the biological clock has been adjusted in vain for a month, I * you horse, what kind of epidemic is this.

I'm obviously wearing red pants! qunyi:/; durian 8 two 17 ⑦ one six

Learn from me: Chapter 165 Chapter 150 Thank you for the plane that is still stubbornly sending you on

"……I understand."

Christina restrained her expression again, but the raised corners of her mouth clearly showed that the other party's mood was no longer what it was when Claude first came in.

'...No, what do you understand? '

Claude looked at Christina's face full of confidence, and his heart was filled with big question marks.

In his original thought, after knowing the truth of this matter—and this is the real truth, Christina should let go of all her worries and follow Jung wholeheartedly to learn to be a qualified crown prince.

Judging from the other party's performance today, it is obvious that the royal blood is more reliable than Ludwig's. I think I can get a better performance under her command - if he really chooses to fish to become the empress at that point in time.

It's just... girl, what does that "won" confident expression on your face mean?

"So, you don't like Letitia?" Christina picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"Your Highness is so cute, how could I not like it, but I really don't have the kind of liking between a man and a woman." Claude said sternly that he is not interested in young girls, "But since His Majesty bestows a marriage, then I will slowly Change your own concept, anyway, the future will be long. I think, after a few years of getting along, the relationship between me and His Highness should be able to be achieved naturally."

Then he saw Christina's brows wrinkled and then flattened, obviously not very satisfied with his answer.

'...My answer is obviously a perfect answer?Absolutely no place to hit a mine? '

【So, I really think...】

'you shut up! '

Claude snorted coldly in his heart, no one knew better than him the art of how to talk to his wife's relatives.

"Is there a long time to come... Indeed, Letitia does need a long time." Christina obviously got the answer she wanted, and pointed to the plate in front of her, "Eat, you should not be full yet Bar?"

Claude was silent for a moment, that's why he hated chatting with women.

But there's nothing else to do, let's eat first.

"You are Letitia's fiancé now, so the previous residence is not suitable. I have already asked Maggie to arrange everything. I will take you there later."

"I've been bothering Your Highness all this time. I'm really sorry. It's getting late. Your Highness is weak. Why don't you go back and rest first. I'll ask Miss Margaret myself later."

Claude felt that it was necessary to keep a little distance from the current Christina, and he always felt that there was something bad about him.

"Why, you can be patient with Leticia and be her instructor for two months, but you are so impatient with me?"

"I have absolutely no intention of this!"

Claude quickly denied it, but the feeling of badness and disobedience in his heart had become bigger and bigger.

"I remember the last time we ate together here, you still called yourself 'I' in front of me. Why did you come back this time and see me as 'Chen'?"

Christina was clearly holding on to the question on purpose.

"This... I was a little young and frivolous before, and I was too self-righteous. Now that I think about it, the various behaviors in front of His Highness, and even the deal with His Majesty, are really rude."

Claude quickly explained that, after all, this His Highness was as foolish as her father before, plus he didn't have a heart, and it was too easy to use, so it was inevitable that he would treat it a little too casually...

Now the other party can learn the posture of appearing in the city in half a year, and can still remember all the unreasonable things in the past. In addition, when we first met, this His Highness can deeply penetrate the part of his true self that he has concealed. Is it possible... …

——This princess is also a full three-dimensional template?

There is such a thing as transgenerational inheritance... Speaking of which, this Highness is more like a royal descendant that the old emperor can train. What kind of monsters and ghosts are those three things that the old emperor gave birth to?Only one Ludwig is not crooked, it is all due to his peers.

Claude's thoughts turned around in his heart, waiting for Christina's attitude.

"I don't like this title. It's too ostentatious. Let's change it."

Fortunately, fooling around...

What a ghost!Christina, wake up, your attitude is very problematic!

Claude is a little bit tense, why can you say such a thing?I'm your brother-in-law—I'm not cursing that brother-in-law, but a real brother-in-law. Why do you act like... as if I have an ambiguous relationship with you?

"Uh—His Royal Highness?"

"Why, is this a difficult request?"

Christina frowned slightly, and Claude felt that he was probably bewitched. Why did he feel that the princess's face had a sad expression.

"...Then, Your Highness, minister... I can still get along with you as before, can I get along with you?"

"Um, okay."

Christina immediately broke into a smile of her own.

"Just like before, we chatted about recent military affairs while drinking afternoon tea."
