Chapter 75: Meddlesome
Roy didn't understand why Leo did this, but he guessed Leo's plan in an instant.
The other party never thought about resolving the problem through negotiation, but directly slandered herself and caused Charlotte to misunderstand!
He calculated the time and had his men take Charlotte to witness this scene, giving Charlotte the illusion that "the prince revealed the truth and Roy was speechless"!
Maybe Charlotte wouldn't turn hostile on the spot, but it was enough to make her feel resentful.
Emotional rifts are the hardest to repair.
Roy turned around and hurriedly made amends: "Charlotte, listen to my explanation..."
Unexpectedly, Charlotte had a stern face, a cold look in her eyes, and said, "You don't need to explain anymore."
Then, the blushing girl passed by him, leaving behind only an elusive fragrance.
Roy suddenly realized.
He didn't want to blame Charlotte for anything.
On one side is her brother who has been with her since childhood and is a blood relative to her, but she has only met him a few times. It is difficult to compare.
He just felt unwilling.
Is this what is called destiny?
As a 'villain', no matter what he does, he cannot change the direction of the original work. Is the only ending for him and Charlotte to be a breakup?
However, at this moment, Charlotte's cold shout was like a striking spark in the long night, igniting hope for Roy.
"Leo, what the hell do you want to do?!"
Roy turned around in surprise, only to see that Charlotte did not blame him, but glared at her brother and questioned him harshly.
That crimson back is so dazzling.
Leo's sneer froze completely.
"Charlotte, I'm just concerned about you and helping you see Roy clearly..."
"Since you are my brother, I will ask you one last time, what do you want to do?!"
The princess's scolding interrupted Leo's pale explanation, and scarlet flames lit up from her body, as if turning into tangible uncontrollable anger.
"I know you don't like Roy, but you've gone too far this time! Lies, frame-ups, slander, this is how you care about me? Stop kidding!!!"
The extraordinary flames spread out, and the knights became restless, but no one dared to step forward.
Anyone who dares to release supernatural powers against the royal family will be regarded as a treasonous person and executed on the spot, but no one has stipulated what should be done if one royal family becomes angry with another royal family?
The corners of Leo's mouth, which had just been slightly raised, could no longer smile, and he could only grit his teeth.
Roy's character wasn't important. What Leo hadn't expected was that he held such a high position in Charlotte's heart! It was so high that Charlotte was willing to get angry at him for him!
She firmly believed that Roy's feelings for her were not false.
Love between young men and women is so stupid that it is beyond reason!
As the older brother, Leo knew that the other party was angry, so he had to give in first: "Charlotte, I'm just concerned about you..."
However, he always forgets that just as he knows his sister so well, she also knows him equally.
"You still haven't answered my question." Charlotte's tone was full of disappointment.
Even out of consideration for their brotherly love, she had already given Leo one last chance to explain.
"Stop using concern as an excuse."
"Ever since you were little, whenever you felt guilty you would change the subject and never tell the truth."
Leo, who was always quick-witted, was speechless: "I..."
But at this moment, Roy came to his senses and spoke.
"Charlotte, Your Highness is not entirely wrong."
"Varied......"
"But it's not entirely true."
Charlotte and Leo were both stunned and looked over in disbelief.
Roy had to admit that the girl's unreserved trust gave him courage, so he dared to be so frank.
Besides, Leo will definitely not give up. Instead of letting him sow discord again and again, it is better to take the opportunity to make things clear and respond to Charlotte's trust in him here!
Only sincerity can respond to trust.
Roy looked at Charlotte's fragile eyes filled with disbelief and said calmly, "You are a princess, powerful, and stunningly beautiful. Is it so hard to understand my admiration for you?"
"You, what are you talking about?!"
Such a sudden straight ball, in front of the knights and her brother, caught Charlotte off guard.
"I also know that as a useless young man, I am not worthy of the Lionheart Princess. But from the day we met, when you encouraged me, I changed my mind."
"Are you admitting that you have bad intentions towards Charlotte?!"
Leo tried to misinterpret Roy's words, but unexpectedly, Charlotte's eyes were already filled with Roy and could not accommodate anything else.
Her body and mind now belong to only one person.
Roy took a deep breath, looked into the eyes that reflected his own figure, and said firmly: "I want more."
Roy didn't lie.
At first, he really just wanted to avoid the fate node and get close to the princess. But at some point, he became more and more greedy.
The time he spent with Charlotte was as precious as a beautiful sunset, and he was increasingly reluctant to let her go.
"Power doesn't matter. Beauty... doesn't matter either. I want you."
"I want, I want..." Charlotte's body trembled, and her voice was so tender and out of tune.
"I want your approval, I want your trust, I want to be able to be with you openly and honestly!"
"Idiot, I've always treated you like this..." Charlotte lowered her eyes, sinking into it, and spat softly, her chest burning hotter than ever before.
The boy's sincere words made her feel uncontrollably excited.
From the very beginning, she had already accepted Roy, and the rest of her life was just her falling deeper and deeper into him.
After he finished speaking, Roy glanced at Leo leisurely, hinting, "It's a pity that your brother seems to have misunderstood something."
Charlotte also turned around and looked at Leo again.
This is the biggest obstacle between her and Roy.
Charlotte stood beside Roy, grabbed his arm, stared at Leo, and said in a serious tone: "You heard it too, Roy is not who you think he is."
"My trust in him will never be shaken by your lies! So don't even think about interfering in our affairs again!"
The girl's declaration was so powerful that even the knights looked at each other in surprise. Even the nobles in the distance noticed the commotion.
There was only indifference on Leo's face, he clenched his fists, and was in an extremely bad mood.
According to the plan, even if this trip had little effect, it should have shaken Charlotte's trust.
Why was this happening? Why, with just a few words, could this girl make her normally rebellious sister so attached to her?!
Leo couldn't understand or believe in the so-called love between young people. In his opinion, Charlotte was the one who was blinded by false lies!
If he had only felt disdain and dissatisfaction before, at this moment, Leo finally developed real hostility towards Roy.
"Charlotte, are you really going to turn against me, your blood relative, just for him?!"
Charlotte noticed the increasingly cold look Leo cast on Roy, but she stood in front of Roy and glared back bravely.
"Leo, I'm going to return the favor! Are you really willing to go against me and meddle in our affairs?!"
When the Wang siblings' eyes met, it was as if invisible blades were clashing. The air was extremely hot and ready to ignite at the slightest touch!
Chapter 76: Gambling
"Charlotte, you better think clearly. Even if Roy has reformed now, he was once a notorious bad boy with a stain on his body. Being with him will only bring shame to our Wang family!"
"I do not care!"
"Don't you care even if it brings shame to the Wang family?" Leo sneered, his eyes grim!
Charlotte obviously didn't react and was speechless when asked, and then became more and more annoyed.
The tense atmosphere between the two people continued to escalate, almost to the point of drawing swords!
Roy instinctively smelled something strange.
This guy is deliberately provoking Charlotte!
Is he worthy of being a prince? He still refuses to give up even at this point.
Roy was grateful for Charlotte's trust in him, but as the saying goes, care leads to confusion.
If Charlotte continued to provoke him like this, she would likely say something out of turn, or even act impulsively. She might be able to defeat Leo now, but Leo would likely use her as leverage later.
For example, spreading rumors like "A princess of a country is willing to bring shame to her family for the sake of a marquis's son."
Leo is older and has already built up his own power. If there really is a power struggle, it will be difficult for Charlotte to gain the upper hand.
"In the final analysis, he has neither honor nor merit. He's just a useless villain with the empty title of 'Iron Blood'. What do you like about him?!"
"Enough!" Charlotte's anger reached its peak and she could hardly bear it anymore. She immediately took a step towards Leo.
The flames of the princess' rage bloomed like red lotuses. The knights were so nervous that they were in a panic, but no one dared to step forward to stop her!
"Even if you are my brother, I will not allow you..."
"You're right. I have neither honor nor merit now."
Roy's voice suddenly rang out, and Charlotte, who was about to show her dominance, almost stumbled.
Leo's brow twitched.
Every time Roy opened his mouth, it caught him off guard.
"But on the other hand, as long as I establish glory and merit, Your Highness will not meddle in my affairs anymore, right?" Roy asked politely with a smile.
"Oh, you mean we should go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and make meritorious deeds?" Leo raised his eyebrows, secretly laughing at the other party's arrogance in his heart.
But Roy shook his head.
"Compared to the battlefield, isn't true glory right before our eyes?"
Leo was startled and blurted out Roy's true purpose: "Griffin Trial..."
For the nobles of the kingdom, the true glory of a knight has never been his title, but his bravery and courage.
'The Glory of the Knight', the Griffin Trial, is exactly what it means!
Tomorrow is the day of the Griffin Trial.
As soon as these words were spoken, the knights were all in an uproar, and Charlotte couldn't help but become anxious.
"Roy, don't do anything stupid. That trial is not as simple as you think..."
"Believe me."
Charlotte was about to stop him, but Roy gave her a gentle yet firm look, and she fell silent immediately.
She couldn't help but want to believe the boy in front of her.
Leo was silent for a moment, and then the tension and fear in his heart disappeared, and he couldn't help laughing at Roy.
Griffin Trial? Is this his way of retreating to advance?!
It has to be said that Roy's performance was beyond his expectations, but this last step was exactly what he wanted!
"Are you planning to use the Griffin Trial as a bet?"
"Since Your Highness is so sure that I am a useless evil boy, don't you want to witness it with your own eyes?" Roy said leisurely.
The knights watched Leo's expression, and the nobles around him also looked over curiously from afar.
Even Charlotte cast a stern look at Leo and pressed him, "Leo, since you want to meddle in other people's business, don't be a coward now!"
Leo had no choice.
