Chapter 1458 Plead Guilty
Their leader was strong!
Many had gazes filled with reverence for all he did.
Of course, with his majesty’s superhuman strength, they were sure he smacked the hell out of those boggles.
Truth be told, they still found it surreal that his majesty’s strength could beat that of these tough boggles.
Many smiled, watching the soaked Landon get drawn up from the waters.
”Here, your majesty. Here’s a towel!”
An overly large towel was carefully placed over his shoulder, and an open path was created.
Landon looked at them with a slight smile on his face. “You did well. Keep up the good job!”
”Sir, yes, sir!!”
They exclaimed, giving firm military salutes!
Their faces might look steel, but their eyes betrayed them, showing their glee.
Landon nodded while looking at his water-resistant watch: “Change Attire and report back on duty by 13-0’hundred.”
Right!
Everyone took to the command.
You have to know that during the battle, the jumping boggles completely soaked them too.
And though the hot boiling sun had dried off 60~70% of their clothes, it was still advisable for them to get out of their damp attires and put on another set.
13-0’hundred.
Many moved quickly, not daring to arrive later than told.
And all across the other ships, the wet men and women rushed to get changed and report back to duty.
”You are so bold!”
A clear voice echoed out, causing Landon to freeze.
”…Wife, I? Bold? Since when?”
Landon was already in survival mode, staring at Lucy.
The daggers she was sending him with her eyes were too sharp for him to misread.
She had her hands crossed over her chest and an expression that said it all.
”You dare to take such a risk without even saying goodbye or even alerting me? Do you take our husband and wife relationship as a joke!!”
Lucy was furious.
If she were not without him, she wouldn’t be this pissed.
Every time Landon left her in Baymard, the days and hours before his setting out, he would always say his last words just in case he didn’t return.
She too would say her mind. Though she was confident in her husband’s strength, like she said, anything could happen. There was no absolute certainty in this world.
That’s why she was furious.
Heaven forbid that such a thing could happen to her hubby… But what if that was the last time she saw him? How dare he jump into such a pit surrounded by giant deadly creatures without even saying goodbye, alerting her, or giving some support or encouragement or promise.
Had it not been for the walkie, she would’ve never known he went down there!!!
Lucy’s eyes were spitting fire the more she thought of it.
”Landon! How would you like it if I did the same to you?”
Landon?
What happened to hubby, dear, darling, or her usual sweet names she called him?
Landon’s heart skipped a beat.
In a flash, he reached out to her as though begging with his life.
”Wife, please don’t be angry with me, okay? It’s all the fault of my stupidity. Wife, your husband is such a stupid man. So please forgive me. I promise never to do it again, cross my heart.”
'”What about the ‘hope to die’ part?”
”_”
.
Lucy was about to storm away in rage when Landon quickly swooped her up and hurried to their chambers.
Hey, a man has to do what a man has to do.
Even if it meant begging his wife for the entire day, he would do it willingly.
Everyone around the scene watched the couple, inwardly laughing in their hearts.
His majesty might be firm, strong and even intimidating when need be. However, when facing his wife, he was as soft as a newborn calf.
Everyone knew that his majesty was addicted to pampering his wife.
Though they would never let his majesty know, many had already begun betting on it.
”5 Bays says they’ll be out in 3 hours.”
”What? 3 hours? Are you underestimating his majesty’s coaxing skills? 7 Bays says it’ll be no more than an hour!”
”You’re both crazy! 7 Bays says it will take 4!”
”You’re on!!”
Many secretly wished for their fight to take longer, while some hoped for it to end almost immediately.
A gamble of this nature concerning this very topic wasn’t new.
For close to 4 years now, many in Baymard who worked close to the couple always gambled on the matter.
Did they feel bad? No!
Blame the happy couple for always throwing dog food at them. Every time they were together, it was almost as if they were seeing each other for the first time.
It made those who were still single cry with no tears.
In the barracks and many other places visited by the couple severally, many people would gamble on matters such as this… Especially when sailing out with them on missions.
One also has to know that his majesty and her highness were also celebrities.
People genuinely want to know about them.
Even if it were just taking tea, people would describe the tea scene as though it were a blockbuster.
And you better believe that the tea set would be sold out in hours.
Many quickly placed their bets while heading out to change.
Hehehehehehe~
How long will it take for his majesty to admit his faults before Queen Lucy? Only time would tell.
.
And while the best were aces, Landon and Lucy had long arrived at their cabin.
Plop.
The man was quick to get on his knees, hugging her waist pitifully.
They would not be leaving this room until he calmed her down to a certain extent.
You must be joking! This was the woman he slept with, loved, and thought about constantly.
So what manly pride? Who has that ever helped?
”Wife, let’s talk about it, alright?”
