If one day she had to share a room with him, she would volunteer to drag him along to die.
Bertha suppressed her feelings of wanting to kill him immediately. She gradually regained her reason and asked again with a cold voice.
'It seems like you're not 100% sure you'll receive the antidote. Before coming here I heard that it was the property of the Royal Family, even in country H there is only one type of plant, so how can the current king give you medicine?"
Bruno's hand that was drinking hot tea stopped, his phoenix eyes were deeply hidden under long eyelashes, making it impossible for others to guess his emotions.
Bertha just pretended not to see his unhappy expression, she continued to probe.
'In our country, for better or worse, you are the fourth son of the rich Felix family, but here, who are you? On what basis can I believe that you can buy me real medicine?"
Bruno neither quickly nor slowly took a sip of tea, he put down the teacup and spoke. 'I'm indeed nothing here, but I have a mother who is the eldest princess."
Bertha was stunned, thinking he would hide it, but she didn't expect him to say it so directly.
Bruno continued talking. "You have just arrived so you don't know the situation in country H. My mother is the only sister of the current king, with the highest position. During these years, she has never raised me, so she felt very guilty in her heart, so she agreed to my request, so for me, getting that medicinal plant was very simple."
Bertha thought calmly. 'So your mother didn't marry your father at first because she was a princess of the Royal Family so she couldn't leave?"
Being reminded of the pain, Bruno's face became more and more serious. 'No, it was because my mother was already engaged at that time."
Bertha understands. 'If that's true, then your mother must have been married for several years and also gave birth to that man's child. She may agree to your request but her current husband knows. Okay, I'm afraid she won't agree easily, right?"
Bruno's face turned completely black. "I'm telling you my situation frankly because sooner or later you have to marry me. I want to be a little honest with you, but you dig to the bottom, even intending to cause division, so we can't need to continue this topic."
Was he angry?
Bertha silently raised her eyebrows.
It seems that Bruno's relationship with this great princess's husband is not good, perhaps she can find an opportunity to act from this aspect.
'If you don't want to answer, that's fine."
Bertha happily changed the subject. 'I still haven't seen the Royal Palace with my own eyes, what is it like? It makes no sense to be stuffy here. When will you take me to see?"
'This is not a problem."
Bruno agreed very emphatically. 'Today you have a hard journey, you should rest soon, tomorrow I will arrange for you to visit the Royal Palace, and conveniently take you to meet my mother. She knows we're getting married, she wants to meet you."
Every three sentences he talks about marriage. Bertha was extremely indignant after hearing this and directly ordered the guests to be kicked out of the room.
'It's not early anymore, I think you still have work, so I won't keep you here for dinner."
"It's true that I still have work, you understand me."
Bruno laughed jokingly, he grabbed his coat from the sofa. 'So, have a good night tonight, we'll see you tomorrow. Here, you remember to call me Lance Charles."
Bertha did not answer, nor did she intend to get up and see him off.
Bruno also didn't expect how positive she could be when she sent him off. He turned around and walked out the door.
Just after two steps, he thought of something, stopped walking, turned his head, and looked at Bertha suspiciously. 'I heard Jamie say that you brought a bodyguard, why have we been talking for so long and I still haven't seen your bodyguard?"
'The first time he went abroad, the land was not suitable. Today he has vomiting and diarrhea. His whole body was not feeling well. He's resting now."
Bruno nodded as if thinking.
Bertha poured tea for herself, and suddenly looking up, she discovered that Bruno hadn't left yet.
Not only did he not leave, but he also turned around and stood in front of her.
Bertha felt strange. 'Do you still want two more cups of tea?"
Bruno smiled, bowed his head slightly, he pointed to his left cheek. 'Before you go, I want you to do me a small favor, and give me a kiss."
Bertha's eyes suddenly became extremely cold, anger was burning in her chest.
She decisively threw the remaining tea in the cup on his face.
'Are you alert enough? If you don't think it's enough, I have a whole bottle here. I can also cook a pot of water to help you wash your face."
Bruno was not angry, but his expression was very happy: "The tea you drink smells so good!"
Bertha was driven crazy by his nonsense. She clenched her fist: "Go away."
'Okay, I'll go."
Bruno took a tissue from the tea table, wiped the tea stains on his face, and walked away slowly and leisurely.
'Bertha, you are truly a beauty with a fierce personality, I like you more and more every day."
He laughed maniacally, and after leaving that sentence behind, he opened the door and walked out.
'Bruno! You are such a pervert."
Bertha silently gritted her teeth and threw the teacup in her hand. Bruno closed the door just in time, avoiding being hit by the teacup.
An explosion rang out, the porcelain fragment broke into five or seven pieces.
Along with the sound of the car engine leaving, Bruno's laughter completely disappeared.
Bertha called the maid, and Bruno arranged to come.
