Chapter 150: The Wedding (4) (2/2)
“You’re not well, so it’s difficult?”
“Yes, Your Majesty I’, Milton”
Even before Robin finished talking, Queen Leila interrupted him and Milton appeared with a smile from the back of the hall
“Really? You’re ill?”
Robin’s face turned pale the moment he saw Milton
‘FXck, I’m fXcked’
Milton approached him without hesitation and put his hand inside Robin’s breast pocket Then…
“What’s this?”
It was a blood bag used by actors as a prop
“Ah… that’s uetting flustered
‘This duht my ould be easy’
Robin hated it whenever Milton gave hiood relationshi+p fro else, Robin hated having to work hard No ive up(?) 99 of the income to the country and could only keep 1 for himself For Robin who not only respected but loved money, this was tremendously unfair The ive up — he really felt this was unfair Of course, what Milton gave as compensation was incomparable to his days as a pirate, but still, unfair was unfair
That’s why Robin was always thinking up ways for hi as he’s told This blood bag was an item that had once worked on Milton, but when he had tried it a second tiht and badly thrashed But this time, the opponent wasn’t Milton, it was Queen Leila; that’s why he thought maybe it could work on her and had prepared it
“Why is it that you’re so stupid with everything that doesn’t have to do with earning money?”
“No, that’s… um… that’s not it…Marquis”
“I’m a Grand Duke now”
“The Great Grand Duke, that wasn’t it…”
“You didn’t know?”
“What do you mean, sir?”
“You didn’t know that it’s the death penalty if you lie in front of the monarch”
Robin's eyes widened at those words
“L…lie I know you’re lying to me like you lied to me about the curse before”
“It’s true, you punk”
Robin turned towards Queen Leila with an anxious expression
She nodded to him calmly as she spoke up
“Since you lied toto say if you lose your head for trying to deceive the monarch of this country”
At that, Robin prostrated himself on the floor
“Yooour Maaaaaajeeestyyy! I rong I just didn’t have the confidence to do what Your Majesty asked me to do, so I just…”
‘This sly bastard…’
Milton sighed Why was he so incredibly co money, but so incredibly incompetent in all the other fields? Clearly he wasn’t stupid Maybe Robin was just blinded by his greed forexploited(?), how big were his guts that he would so blatantly lie in front of the country’s h Queen Leila wasn’t so like this, it was still evidence that Robin’s guts were too big or he was coreed for money
“Well, don’t worry about it, I’ll save you”
When Milton responded to hihtly at hirace and benevolence is iht Don’t worry”
“Yes, Your Highness I won’t worry”
“Since you were ih to be ill in the presence of royalty, I’ll turn your lie into the truth”
“Yes, Your… What?”
“If your lie turns into the truth, then since you didn’t lie, you won’t be punished Isn’t that right?”
Milton began cracking his knuckles as he spoke Robin cried out when he saw Milton approaching hi knuckles
“That’s… that’s not fair Who does that?”
“Me”
“Didn’t you say you’ll forgive ive you”
“Guh… this is tyranny”
“Really? Then do you want an option?”
“What kind of option…”
“Do you want a beating or do you want to pay a fine?”
“…I’her than the medical fee?”
“It’s a wonder that’s what you’re curious about right now…but yes Much higher”
“In that case, I’ll take the beatin… guh!”
“Right, I knew you’d pick that”
Even before Robin finished talking, Milton’s fist landed against Robin’s chin With that bloody beating, Milton forgave Robin his sins
