Chapter 58: CHAPTER 58: Something Unexpected
"I suddenly felt like being a commoner was great too."
"Nee-san, you are mistaken. What we are experiencing now is not the lives of civilians, but the lives of aristocrats."
Now Anis had a serious misunderstanding, Leon shook his head and corrected it.
They were playing today, carefree and free. This was not the daily life of civilians, but the daily life of nobles.
Commoners had to leave early and return late every day to work for a living, but they also had to pay taxes on most of the wealth they earned for the nobles. They basically had no time for fun.
Only the nobility is the happiest group in the world. They have land at their disposal, no heavy responsibilities and even few laws that bind them.
"Really? Will the king that Leon-chan wants to be change these things?"
"Nee-san, our world is nice, but... it is not beautiful at all. I have seen with my own eyes the darkness hidden beneath these beauties."
Leon didn't respond directly.
If he wants to change the world, he first needs to understand it.
He personally walked into darkness when he was still young, involving everything from thieves to unscrupulous nobles and the cult of Diablos.
And he's already doing what he can, whether it's defeating thieves, hunting monsters, or dealing with the cult of Diablos.
"I will definitely change this flawed world and build a perfect Utopia. One day in the future, everything will collapse, and on the ruins of the old world, a beautiful new world will emerge."
"But I can't do this alone, so Nee-san, are you willing to help me?"
Leon extended an invitation to Anis.
The princess held Leon's face with her hands, her eyes full of love and affection.
"Sure enough, my Leon-chan is the most suitable person to be the king. Well, I'll help you. As long as it's something I can do, ask me for anything."
Since you are willing to support my dream.
Then I will also support your ideals.
"It's agreed. I will become the best magician, then Leon-chan will also become the best king. When the time comes, we will also go on adventures together."
"Yes, we have a deal."
Anis stretched out her pinky thumb, and Leon was stunned for a moment, then she also smiled and stretched out her pinky thumb, brought the two fingers together, and then let each other's thumbs touch.
This is a gesture the two agreed to use when they were young. It's a custom that Leon told her about his past life. Anis likes it a lot.
"So, that's it for today."
"Yes, it's time to go back and be scolded."
"Don't worry, I will intercede with my father and the queen. If you can't take it anymore, I will also use healing magic and you. My effect is much better than that of any Holy Archbishop."
"Eh? Leon-chan, why don't you accompany me and get scolded? We are brothers and sisters who share adversity together!"
"So according to what you said, we need to take Algard with us."
Leon said jokingly.
He had a lot of fun today, spending the same time with different people was cool.
Alpha and the others adore him so much, although it's great to be adored by a group of beautiful girls.
But when he is with Anis as a family member, he loses much of his self-control.
When Leon was about to find a deserted alley, open the space door and directly return to the capital.
"Get out! Get out of here now! If you dare come here without my money, I will sell you to a brothel!"
An unpleasant sound reached his ears.
Leon and Anis looked at the same time and saw several guards not far away pulling a little girl and pushing her to the ground.
That's exactly what they found today, the white-haired girl selling fruit.
Then a pot-bellied, dull-looking nobleman with rings on his fingers pushed the girl.
The white-haired girl had tears in her eyes. The push just now made her fall onto the rock and her head bled.
"Please, Earl-sama, please save my mother first. I will pay you the remaining money in three days, no, two days!"
"If you dare to come here next time, and you don't have any money, I will sell you and your mother to the worst brothel in this kingdom!"
"......"
This world is very irrational.
If civilians want to be cured, they can only rely on the nobles' healing magic, but this will be charged, and the amount charged is completely determined by the local nobles.
Needless to say, prices are usually extremely high.
There are even people who treat their cold symptoms just once but end up with a lifetime of debt. There are only a handful of good nobles in this world, but bad nobles are everywhere.
Leon certainly didn't intend to leave him alone.
Although this is only a trivial matter for a person of your position, these things happen all the time in the world.
But if he turned around and left now, he would definitely feel unhappy.
But just when he was about to act.
Ningguang fell to his knees, biting his lips as if he had made up his mind. He took out a bottle of water from his small bag and poured it on his face, and then wiped his face with his sleeves vigorously.
In the next moment.
The girl revealed her true appearance.
At that moment, everyone around her felt attracted to her.
Just now, the arrogant and ugly Viscount lost his balance and fell into the mud, but he quickly got up from the ground and stared blankly at Ningguang.
After her dirty little face was washed, she revealed her true appearance, delicate and beautiful, like an excellent porcelain doll, with long snow-white hair and ruby eyes.
With such stunning appearance at such a young age, anyone could tell that she would grow up to be a stunning beauty.
