    Chapter 157 The King and His Son

    The atmosphere in the room was condensed. Uther was sitting on the soft couch beside the bed, and Leon was standing by the fireplace. One was in the dark and the other was in the light. Their faces were as cold as ice.I was trembling and walked into the room with my head lowered, and their eyes fell on me.

    There was a moment of silence, and I felt like I was about to be crushed to the ground. At this moment, Uther curled his lips, showed a gentle smile, and stretched out his hand to me: “Tangtang, come here, come to Daddy.”

    His voice was low and sweet, and his tone was as gentle as ever, but I keenly caught the malice in his words.He wants me to be obedient, pull him into his arms, hold me on his lap, and pamper me like he did in the past… But, he is doing all this now in front of Leon!

    The blood on my face faded, and I didn’t dare to look at Leon’s expression on the other side. I just widened my eyes in fear, looking pleading, staring straight at Uther, shaking my head slightly in fear.

    I am now on the gallows, saying no to the king of a country. Even I don’t know where I got the courage.After I shook my head, I became even more frightened and took another small step back, almost sticking to the wall.

    When Uther saw that I was unwilling to obey, the smile on his face disappeared again, but after all, he did not force me and put down his hand.

    “Since she’s here, you can ask her yourself.” He calmed down and spoke.

    I shuddered and lowered my head.As if a long time had passed, Leon’s voice came from the other direction, with a faint tremor: “…Tangtang?”

    I don’t speak.How could I open my mouth!

    With Leon’s impulsive rage and no answer from me, his heart felt like it was burning with an iron fork.He’s voice suddenly became louder and he asked: “Tangtang! Don’t lie to me! Is it true?!”

    I heard extreme pain from his words, fear and pain, and tears fell down.

    Leon seemed to take a step forward, then paused.Over there, Uther’s voice sounded, ruthlessly giving an order: “Tangtang, tell him.”

    I can’t say it.But I know very well that at this time, I must not disobey Uther’s orders.The person sitting there now is not my lover, but Leon’s father, the father of a country whose majesty cannot be challenged.I can’t escape from the truth, where else can I escape?Everything I have, including my life, is given by the man in front of me!

    I cried silently, lowered my head, and nodded silently.

    I couldn’t see Leon’s expression at this time. I only knew that the silence in the room was almost suffocating.I didn’t dare to make a sound when I cried, and I didn’t even dare to reach out to wipe my tears.This terrible silence paused for a long time, until Leon suddenly roared:

    “So what, I don’t care!” He’s voice was excited, and he had obviously lost his mind: “Those things… I heard… I also… I used to…” He shook his head, as if to shake some thoughts out of his mind, “But it’s all over. Before today, everything doesn’t matter… I don’t care at all! I want to marry her, I must marry her, I don’t need anything, I just want her!”

    “Nonsense!” Uther shouted suddenly, suppressing Leon’s impulse.None of us had ever seen the calm and composed Usefa get so angry. We were all shocked, especially me, who almost collapsed on the ground.

    “You are the crown prince of the country and the future king!” Uther said word by word: “You know your responsibilities. Every decision you make is related to the lives and lives of thousands of people! In this position, you are destined to dedicate everything. What right do you have to say you want it? And what position do you have to say you can not want it!”

    Under the scolding, Leon was speechless. He listened blankly, and suddenly his eyes turned red.

    “No, Father, I love her, I love her! I can’t live without her. I can do anything they ask me to do and sacrifice anything… Let me marry her. I will never ask anyone else in my life… Father, please!”

    I was stunned.Leon, who was so arrogant and valued his self-esteem above his life, now prayed humbly for me without any dignity.My heart was like a sharp knife, shattering into pieces, and I could do nothing or say anything. Only tears poured out uncontrollably, blurring my vision.what do I do?What can I do?

    On the other side, Uther was so angry that he actually sneered.

    “You, the majestic crown prince of a country, dare to tell me that you fell in love with such a thing…” He’s usually calm voice was now filled with uncontrollable anger: “It’s a toy on the bed, used for entertainment in private. You can play with it as you want, but you, would rather abandon your responsibilities and marry her? Make her the future queen?” Uther smiled cruelly: “The bitch is heartless. Ask her, you want to marry her, sheAre you willing to marry me?”

    I trembled at what he said, but I didn’t dare to resist at all, I lowered my head and endured silently.Leon was badly injured, and he looked at me with the remaining hope, and his voice changed when he called me: “Tangtang?”

    At this moment, I just hope that the world will collapse and I will fall into the abyss and never be reincarnated.I knew that Uther was forcing me to stab him one last time and kill Leon’s heart.I also knew that I had to say what I wanted to say, and not because of Uther’s oppression, but for Leon, for this country, and for myself…

    I care about Leon, but I don’t love him enough. I can never give him equal affection.Marrying him will only bring him endless pain.My destiny dictates that I will never get married and have such a happy and dreamy ending.And he is the future king, and he cannot marry a scandal-ridden woman like me. If he loses the throne because of me and breaks with his respected father, not only will I be unable to forgive myself in my life, but I will also commit a crime that will shake up the entire kingdom!

    I knew the truth clearly in my heart, but when faced with Leon’s almost crazy infatuation, I couldn’t say anything. I just stood there with my head hanging down, almost crying into tears.Leon had a premonition of something and his heart was broken. He strode over and grabbed my wrist. I was so frightened that I raised my head and looked into his red eyes.

    “Tangtang, say you will marry me, just say it!”

    The tone of his voice had changed with pain.He and I have been dependent on each other for eight years, no matter how hard and painful it is, we have never seen him shed a tear. This rebellious and tenacious young man, now has tears in his eyes for me, but he clenches his teeth and stares at me eagerly and almost wildly, as if my answer announces his life or death.

    I looked at he blankly, with tears streaming down my face. After a long while, my lips trembled, and I murmured: “Brother, forgive me…”

    Just like watching the sun fall and die, watching the flames in the dark night go out, his eyes fell, despair and pain, like the shocking waves, annihilated his light.My heart ached, and my breathing stopped for a moment. Then suddenly my eyes blurred, my ears roared, and I received a heavy slap from he without any precautions. The slap made me tilt and fall to the ground.
