The villainous prince who bullied Feng Aotian was actually myself.

"Helena."

Leon turned his head and looked at the girl walking to his left with a different gaze.

"what happened?"

Helena seemed to be in a daze, because she paused for a moment before reacting, "Why are you looking at me like that? Your eyes are scary."

"From childhood to adulthood, have any handsome boys in school ever pursued our little sister Helena?"

Leon grinned cheekily.

"No."

Helena answered without hesitation.

“I’m not good-looking, I speak badly, I dress poorly and unfashionably, and I’m not as knowledgeable as you city people. Who would like a country bumpkin like me?”

Helena continued, saying that the topic seemed to have stirred up painful memories of her youth.

"Uh... I didn't know you were in such a miserable situation."

Leon made a sour face.

"Otherwise what? So when I secretly read your diary, my brain was buzzing. I thought you must have something wrong with your brain to fall for a terrible girl like me."

Helena let out a soft breath.

"Maybe it's just my feeling, I understand your special qualities."

Leon joked with a laugh.

"Haha, thinking about it, there seems to be someone else who liked me before you."

Helena laughed like a silver bell.

"Is this happening?"

Leon immediately became alert, a man's instinctive reaction when facing a rival.

"Yes, he was a playmate from my childhood in town. The kids in our town often herded cattle together, and he herded the most cattle, so we called him Big Ox."

Helena chuckled and said, "Back then, we were chatting together, and the boys asked Da Niu which of the girls in town he wanted to marry. Da Niu shouted that he wanted to marry Helena. When asked why, he said that Helena, like him, liked to eat and ate a lot."

"Haha, and then what?"

Leon was amused as well.

"Then we went to middle school in the city. We didn't go to the same middle school. I went back to town less often and stopped helping Anna herd cattle. We basically didn't see each other again."

Helena replied, "But later in my sophomore year, my roommate came back to town with me. She was visiting, and that's when we met in town."

"then?"

Leon felt like he was listening to a novel; Helena knew how to cut things out.

"Hmm... He's got his eye on my pretty roommate, he didn't even look at me."

Helena had a speechless expression.

"Oh? Is Xiao Ai a great beauty?"

Leon said it casually, but Helena reacted very excitedly.

"Ah! How did you know my roommate is Xiao Ai? You've never even met!"

Helena was stunned.

Oh no, we've been exposed!

Leon shuddered at first, then realized he had said the wrong thing.

"Uh, I'm sorry, Helena, I read your college diary. You kept them in your room in town, and I accidentally..."

Leon smiled awkwardly.

"My God! You...you read it all!"

Helena's face flushed bright red in an instant.

Leon knew this was called social death.

"You—you bastard!"

Helena punched Leon hard with her small fist, and Leon swung his arm to block. This girl actually has some strength; he had no choice but to block. The current Helena is no longer the weak, easily pushed-over whiny girl who couldn't even hit anyone.

"I only watched a little bit!"

Leon's head was his only life.

"Fine, you've seen it, so what—you're quite pleased with yourself?"

Helena pouted her pink lips indignantly.

At this moment, the two arrived at a park full of ice sculptures, where many couples were on dates. Not far away, under the white swan ice sculpture, a young couple in love were embracing and kissing passionately, which Leon and Helena both saw.

"Uh, how did we end up in a place like this?"

Helena was speechless.

"How should I know? Maybe it's fate!"

Leon chuckled, then his gaze toward Helena became extremely doting.

"what happened?"

Helena took a step back, somewhat timidly and shyly.

"Helena, I understand what you wanted to express in the book. You also know that I really like you, so—let's date. I hope you can officially become my girlfriend."

Leon looked at Helena, his face flushed with embarrassment. He had prepared many sweet words, but they felt too cheesy to say, so when he finally spoke, they came out so seriously.

Chapter Twenty-Nine: Reviving the Church (Part One)

In the early Fester Empire, with the end of the Humanist Revolution, people's minds became more open, and the idea of ​​free love had already begun to spread in the time of Leon's father.

Therefore, it is possible for men and women to first establish a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, then get engaged, and then get married.

If, during this process, it is discovered that the two parties are not suitable to be together, then they can break up, which is a perfectly normal thing for people.

But princes cannot; they can only be sacrificed for political marriages.

Caesar was forced to marry Leon's mother as his princess. Leon's mother died young, and Caesar was then forced to marry Leon's mother.

Leon's mother, who is now the Queen, was formerly a princess of the Duchy of Abylon, the most powerful country in the western seas.

As the Fchester Empire unified the East Sea continent and rapidly rose to become a superpower, Western countries felt threatened. Currently, the Western Alliance, or Western Alliance for short, is led by the Duchy of Abylon, the largest Western power and the second strongest human nation, and is united in resisting the invasion of Fchester.

Helena knew perfectly well that as long as Leon remained Prince of Fchester, he could never marry her.

After all, princes can only be with princesses, but Helena... is not a dazzling princess.

But I really want to be with him.

If Leon ends up with another woman, Helena probably thinks she'll go crazy.

“Leon…”

Faced with Leon's confession, Helena's pretty face was full of seriousness.

"What, you're unwilling? Or are you saying I'm not good enough?"

Leon is now starting to think about how to defuse the awkward situation if he gets rejected.

"No, I can agree to that, but I feel it's unlikely we can be together."

Helena paused for a moment before explaining.

"Are you worried about Caesar?"

After a moment's thought, Leon quickly came up with the answer.

"Ah."

Helena nodded gently, "The Empire... is too powerful. It would be absurd for them to let you marry me, since they would want to take me back as a healing tool."

"That is indeed a problem, but it's never going to be smooth sailing for two people to be together."

Leon smiled and stroked Helena's hair over her shoulder. Her hair was soft and had a faint fragrance.

"Since there is a problem, let's work together to solve it. I believe nothing can stop us."

Ah, this oil is so good!

Leon continued.

No, nothing can stop you!

That awful protagonist halo!

"Okay, then I promise you."

Helena smiled sweetly, then hugged Leon's waist and threw herself into his arms.

Although Leon was a little at a loss, he thought about it and realized that he and Helena had already kissed, and it wasn't the first time they had hugged like this, so it didn't seem like a big deal.

So, Leon naturally placed his wicked groping hand behind Helena's shoulder.

“But Leon, I have a request.”

Helena said softly.

"Well, tell me."

"I hate philandering men. Now that you're with me, you can't be too close to other girls."

Helena said, "Otherwise, I get jealous very easily."

"No, you will be my future queen."

Leon smiled and patted Helena on the shoulder.

"Empress? You're insane!"

Helena focuses on key words.

"Well, since being a prince means not even being able to decide who your wife is, why not just rebel and become emperor?"

Leon replied in a joking tone.

Based on the anime series, and considering the timeline, it seems like Caesar's death isn't far off.

At that time, Fitch will surely be thrown into chaos.

Leon will rise to power, and the Regent will rebel.

Western nations took sides, and the dragons seized the opportunity to invade.

Leon had always known.

The difference from the original series is that in the competition between the Regent and Leon, there is an additional minor character named Leon who was eliminated by Helena in the early stages.

"you……"

Helena clearly lacked confidence in Leon.

"Uh, I admit that my current strength is no match for Leon and the Regent, but you don't need to make it so obvious."

Leon was speechless.

“If I don’t fight for it, as the legitimate prince, whether the regent becomes emperor or Leon becomes emperor, I will not have a good ending. History is the best proof. I will either be placed under house arrest for life or be labeled a traitor and executed by hanging.”

Leon helplessly shrugged.

He understood this point very well.

Where is there any family affection?

In the royal family, these are all stumbling blocks that prevent you from reaching the pinnacle of your life.

"Then what are you going to do?"

Helena asked.

"I have my own plans, Helena. You'll help me, won't you?"

"Leon asked."
