Claire's thoughts were mixed, and she returned to the manor in a daze. Prince Bowens was sitting in the living room with two exquisite gold wine glasses in front of him. When he saw Claire, he smiled, his smile was as bright as the sun.
"How is the result?"
"She declined."
The two simple answers made Prince Bowens's smile cool down. He frowned, feeling a little unbelievable: "Why?"
"She said, you are not eligible."
Because of the chaos in his thoughts, Claire subconsciously spoke the truth. Under normal circumstances, he would consider his vocabulary and try to speak euphemistically instead of being so direct. After speaking, Claire also realized something was wrong.
But the words had already been spoken, and it was too late to change them.
Prince Bowens's smile disappeared. Although he looked calm on the surface, the wine glass he was holding was trembling slightly, and there were faint veins on his wrist. He sighed, suppressing the anger in his heart, and asked: "Selia, did you really say that?"
At this time, Claire's mentality also turned back, and he became more sober. He knew that he had said something wrong, but now he could only continue to admit it. After all, it was true, not fabricated by him.
It's just that in his heart, he felt a little sorry for Celia, and wondered if his behavior was an invisible betrayal.
He sighed and said, "That's exactly what she said."
"What did she say, tell me exactly what she said."
Claire hesitated. He felt that those words were quite hurtful, and he didn't know whether Prince Bowens could bear it.
Bowens seemed to see his embarrassment, and he said slowly: "Tell me, I really want to hear what she has to say about me."
Claire looked at Bowens and found that there was no anger on his face. After thinking about it, he felt that even if he didn't tell him now, he could still send someone to inquire after he left. There were quite a few people around at that time, and this word will surely spread slowly, so it is not difficult to find out.
Thinking of this, Claire lowered her eyebrows, raised her eyebrows after thinking for a while, and said, "Your Highness, I hope you don't blame Celia after listening. He may have been a little irritable recently."
Bowens tapped lightly on the wine glass with his right hand, almost making the glass buzz loudly: "Go ahead."
Sooner or later, Claire slowly told what happened. He didn't add or subtract a word from Celia's words.
After listening, Bowens' smile became a little distorted, and it could be seen that he was desperately suppressing the anger in his heart. After a while, his expression finally calmed down: "This evaluation is very interesting, this woman is indeed different. Claire, I want to marry Celia as the princess more and more, you have no objection."
Claire showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "Selia is such a good woman, and only His Highness is worthy of it."
Bowens laughed, and the anger seemed to have completely disappeared. He said to Claire: "Find a time tomorrow, bring some jewelry to Celia, and say that I admire her more and more. And tell her that from tomorrow on, no one can 'touch' him again, especially It's Li Lin. Hmm... Speaking of Li Lin, let him come back and stay in my woman's shrine all the time, what does it sound like."
Claire gave a lifeless smile.
Bowens waved his hand to let Claire leave. Although there was nothing special in the expression on the other side, the latter felt like a fly being waved away by others.
I don't care about it at all, and even feel a little annoyed.
Claire walked out of the room, he wondered if he had an illusion. Because based on the relationship during this period of time, he felt that Prince Bowens should be a superior person who is easy to get along with and respectful and virtuous.
This attitude should not appear, my own illusion.
But then, Billy's words not long ago suddenly echoed in his ears: "You are not worthy of fighting with me just because of your eyesight!" '
I really don't have eyes for people
Claire thought for a long time, thinking about this issue when she got home. Finally, he rubbed his face and said to the butler, "Help me prepare the carriage, I'm going to Earl Billy's estate."
The butler turned pale with shock: "Master, what are you thinking? That's the enemy who wants to kill you!"
"If he wanted to harm me, I should have died long ago." Claire remembered what Earl Billy said, and then smiled wryly: "I can be regarded as a 'backer' person now, as long as Celia doesn't give up on me, I should die." to live for a while longer."
Can the butler listen to what his young master is saying? But he understood the determination on the young master's face. He lowered his head slightly, sighed and said, "As you wish, young master."
At the same time, in the North County Abbey.
Beta was sitting on a chair, and across from him, Monica was sitting on the bed with her legs crossed, as if she didn't care whether she was showing her spring light at all.
"I scolded Bowens hard just now, and I felt very happy." She said with a smile, "Now I finally know why those women in the knights like to scold those big men with righteous words." , I feel so comfortable."
Monica's expression was cheerful and happy, and even the gloomy temperament that had been hanging over her body was slightly reduced.
Beta asked a little strangely: "Princess, isn't this good? Why don't you want to follow? Once you succeed, you won't have to struggle for decades."
Monica gave him an angry look: "Why don't I want to follow, don't you know?"
Beta was a little embarrassed, he could guess a little bit, but he wasn't sure. Women are creatures with unpredictable temperaments. Even Shirley, who is gentle and considerate, sometimes plays petty temper. As for a woman like Monica who is moody, uncertain, and extremely complicated, Beta dare not guess randomly.
After all, 'ta likes me' is one of the three major illusions in life.
Monica looked at Beta with an embarrassed but slightly embarrassed expression. Her mood was a little sour, and she was secretly annoyed that this man didn't understand style and women's heart.
But at the same time, she also regretted a little. If she had known this time, she would have this kind of relationship with him. She shouldn't have behaved so fiercely in France back then, which made him even wary of herself now. If it was as 'gentle' as Sasha and Mu Lin, maybe he would have pinned himself on the bed by now.
It's a pity that there is no medicine for regret in this world.
After getting along for so long, and being tempted and seduced from time to time, she could see that Beta's desire was actually very strong, but she usually suppressed it with strong mental power.
In the past, she felt that her body must be paid enough to give away her virgin body. But now, she felt that such a thing was an insult to herself, and even more an insult to Beta.
That's why Monica was so excited and angry when Cheng heard the message from Prince Bowens.
Beta looked at Monica's resentful little eyes, and his heart trembled a little. He knew that if this went on, the atmosphere would become very ambiguous and quite bad. He quickly changed the subject and asked, "After scolding the prince, what do you think now?"
"He wanted me to become a member of the nobility." Monica sneered, obviously not having a good impression of Prince Bowens: "But he wanted to be an empty-handed wolf, and he didn't want to pay any benefits, so he said something about the princess." Son. Hehe, he really treats everyone as a fool."
Indeed, Beta also felt that Prince Bowens had this idea. A powerful thug, or a beautiful woman, as long as she is in the house, she can defend against the enemy outside, relieve boredom inside, and even slightly weaken the strength of the Temple of Life, lower its prestige, kill three birds with one stone, and hardly pay any benefits. The indeterminate queenship was dismissed.
If successful, this will definitely be the most cost-effective business deal that Prince Bowens has ever done.
"So, what are your plans next?"
"Since he doesn't respect me and treats me like an idiot, why should I care about him? No matter how much he looks down on people, he shouldn't be like this. Tonight's plan is cancelled, and I decided to go to his manor."
Monica smiled coquettishly, with a bit of murderous intent in her eyes.
It's just a fleeing prince, so what if he kills it? If necessary, she can even deal with her own younger siblings, let alone an outsider.
But Beta said: "He can't die for the time being. If he can break the situation and find those two girls, the power of the royal family is necessary."
"I know. It's just to give him a little surprise." After being silent for a while, Monica looked at Beta with a hesitant expression on his face: "Do you really think there is still a need to find those two girls?" ? It’s been so many days…”
Beta sighed: "Do your best and obey the destiny. Otherwise, you will feel uneasy."
In fact, if he uses his power, for example, as the Pope of the God of Wealth, to exert diplomatic pressure across borders, it is very likely that he will find these two girls.
But the problem is, the price to pay for that is too high. A lot of money needs to be paid, and it will damage the reputation of the God of Wealth.
The God of Wealth Sect is not his own sect. It involves the interests and future of thousands of people. He cannot let the God of Wealth Sect lose a lot of benefits for the sake of two girls who are not related to the God of Wealth Sect.
If he did, he would not be able to explain to the other congregants, nor could he explain to Woking and Shirley.
Therefore, even big men can sometimes be involuntary.
In Count Billy's study.
Looking at the young man in front of him curiously, Billy's mature face was full of doubts: "You actually came to my territory on your own initiative, and you have become quite courageous. Are you afraid that I will kill you? "
"As you said, as long as Celia still thinks I'm useful, you won't kill me."
Billy chuckled lightly, but didn't answer.
Claire's expression was a little ashamed and humiliated. He spoke with great difficulty: "I'm here this time to ask Your Excellency. You don't seem to be very optimistic about Prince Bowens. Why?"
