Chapter 78: CHAPTER 78: Did I keep you waiting?
"It is an honor for me, Your Highness, and... my daughter's future is also entrusted to you."
Grantz pushed his beloved daughter, Euphilia, in front of Leon.
"Ahem, ah, that..."
Leon showed a subtle expression.
He thought to himself that he had won a lot tonight. Had he destroyed the third prince's prestige, established my own majesty, and gained the duke and prime minister's loyalty to him, as well as his beautiful daughter?
Wow, Prime Minister, you are very polite, you gave a lot of information for my brain to process.
"Please take care of me, Your Highness Leon."
"Ah, well, let me clarify first. I will take good care of your daughter, but the position of my queen will not be given to her easily... I need her to show enough worth and merit to do so."
"You brat!"
Orphans shouted angrily.
He was about to step over the table to teach her a good lesson. Tonight, he had truly reached the limit of his endurance, and his blood pressure was already so high that he was about to bleed.
Grantz has already given you his daughter, and you are still choosing, please be polite!
By the way, it's been several years and this one still hasn't been decided! Leon, you've been on blind dates with every noble daughter in the kingdom, as well as princesses from several neighboring kingdoms!
Thinking about this, Orphans wanted to beat his own son even more. Every time he went on a blind date, he would run away after flirting with the girl. The noble daughters of his own kingdom didn't matter, but the princesses of the surrounding kingdoms were a diplomatic matter!
Several princesses fascinated by Leon clamored every day to marry her.
Orphans really wanted to know how Leon fascinated so many girls during his first blind date.
It almost seems like his own style back then... Ahem, okay, he doesn't have that.
"Father, please calm down. After all, the situations between Algard and I are very different, okay?"
Leon easily dodged the king's punch.
"He needs help from the Duke's family because of his lack of skill, but I don't need it. I can do it myself."
Duke Magenta's support is strong, but it's just icing on the cake for Leon.
In order for Algard to receive support, he needs to promise the position of queen, but Leon doesn't even need the support itself.
Having strength means being obstinate.
"Let's just say this, but be gentle with her. After all, you are also responsible for Euphilia becoming like this~"
"Huh? What do you mean?"
"You were the one who went on a blind date with her first! But someone just stood her up. I thought you weren't interested, so I decided to marry Algard to her!"
"Wait a minute, let me think a little."
He heard something very extraordinary.
Leon made a pause gesture, then placed his chin on it and tried to remember. Did he go on a blind date with the Duke's daughter? Did he stand her up? In fact, Algard took what he didn't want?
Hisssssssssssssss...Why do I feel like my position has suddenly changed?
"Ah yes, I remembered!" Leon raised his eyebrows and pressed his right hand into his left palm.
"Hmph! Remember? I haven't asked you to explain this matter yet. It's time to give me a good explanation about it now."
"Well, everyone here seems to know that anyway, so I'll tell you... Actually, the Diablos cult made a big move that day, and I went to deal with it."
Leon said with a shrug.
With the exception of Euphilia, everyone present knew about the existence of the [Cult of Diablos], so there was no harm in telling them.
At these words, the king and the duke were silent.
Only Euphilia was confused, what is the [Cult of Diablos]? Is it because of this group that Your Highness missed the blind date with her and made her wait in the restaurant all afternoon?
"Ahh then, there's nothing we can do."
"Actually, there really isn't…"
The king and prime minister reluctantly agreed to this reason.
"Eh?"
Euphilia was even more surprised. Didn't she expect the king and her father to accept it so easily? What kind of organization is the "cult of Diablos" that Leon mentioned?
Orphans sighed again.
Since it's about the cult, let alone Leon making a mistake, you could even say it has merit.
Although he feels a little sorry for Euphilia when he says this, a mere blind date cannot be compared to the damage caused by stopping the cult's plan.
Grants also nodded in agreement.
"By the way, what is this? You actually stopped their movement, right?"
"Of course, Dad, the fact that you're still sitting here is proof of that."
"What do you mean?"
Orphans was stunned for a moment and felt a little confused. What does the success of stopping this have to do with him still sitting here?
Leon said with a bright smile.
"That day, the cult planned to carry out an assassination plot, and the target was you, the king. Well, they almost succeeded, but you probably didn't realize anything."
"Hah?!"
"Prince Leon, what did you say?!"
"They planned to assassinate the king!!"
Everyone was scared by these words.
Everyone looked at Leon in horror.
The cult of Diablos is so frightening, but that Leon could repel such a group is even more incomprehensible.
Orphans and Granz looked at the prince and felt as if they were looking at something completely incomprehensible.
"It was at the celebration two months ago. Dad, you were forced to be responsible for the boring activity of giving the speech. Haha, at that time there were at least fifty assassins hiding in the dark, aiming for your neck."
"Gulu!"
Orphans suddenly felt his scalp numb and unconsciously touched his neck.
"If I hadn't personally intervened to stop this, you probably would have been able to save your life just by trusting my subordinates, but I'm afraid you would have lost at least an arm or a leg."
"Ahh... Thanks, Leon."
Unexpectedly, he was saved by his son, and Orphans' mood was particularly complicated. Not that there weren't assassin attacks in the past, but the knights alone were enough to deal with it.
But the cult is not on the same level as those ruffians!
This terrifying organization lurking in the darkness of history has destroyed countless kingdoms so far. There are even kings from various kingdoms in the world who have become puppets of the cult.
"Ahem, I accidentally went too far. Anyway, Miss Euphilia, I can't give you the position of princess directly. Please prove yourself and have enough achievements to receive that status with me."
Leon seriously told the silver-haired girl that what he was looking for was not a princess doll, but a woman with real abilities. What he needed was skill, not family.
"I understand, and I will work hard to become worthy of you, Your Highness."
Euphilia said equally seriously.
She realized that the prince in front of her is extraordinary. She knows she's not worthy of him now. Therefore, she should work harder.
"Excellent."
Leon nodded with satisfaction.
