“…” “…” “…” In his life of nearly thirty years, he had never suffered such a vicious attack. After listening to Leon’s gentle comments, Prince Andre could not help but stop and fell into a long silence. “Why did you stop? Weren’t you just going to take me to perform for your parents?” Looking at the trembling back of the young prince and listening to the tingling sound of teeth rubbing against each other, Leon couldn’t help but smile, and then comforted him in a gentle voice: “Don’t worry, I’m just a clown with relatively good skills. I won’t say anything to your parents. I’ll just do a little trick and perform some acrobatics. After all, the humor of a fake clown like me is only in the acrobatics in my hands, which can only make your parents laugh at most, while your humor is in your heart, and you only need to…” “Shut up!!!” A sudden shout interrupted Leon’s After Leon's comfort, Prince Andre suddenly turned around, and said with a ferocious face that was still a little childish:
"You guessed right, I also have to abide by the rules of this world and cannot do anything that violates the identity of a 'prince', but if you want to use words to irritate me and let me let you go..." "No, everyone here is talented, I like it here~" Waving his hand to interrupt Prince Andre's words, Leon tied the balloon to his waist, took out four colorful balls from his arms, and smiled and played with catching and throwing the ball with both hands, and even occasionally raised his legs alternately, constantly throwing the colored balls horizontally from his crotch, which immediately attracted a lot of applause. "Good job!" "Great!" "Add one more! Can you add another ball?" "Add! You can add any!" After replying to the guest who was making a noise not far away, Leon did not stop his movements, and kept catching and throwing, slowly walking to the open space in front of the open stage. But somehow, the four balls turned into five, and in a blink of an eye, they turned into six. "Wow!!!" "You can actually juggle six balls at the same time?" Seeing Leon's continuous movements like a butterfly, even waving his hands with afterimages, the guests immediately stopped the feast and looked over curiously, and some drunk people even started to applaud. "Beautiful!" "What a great clown!" "Thank you!" After a fancy move of alternating left and right hands to catch the ball, Leon pinched his big red nose, bowed to thank the guest who just praised him, and then said with shame: "Actually, I am not very good. In our clown world, there is a senior named Andre who is much better than me. A common clown like me can only play with some equally ordinary colored balls, while the things that senior Andre can play are amazing, such as knives, forks, bowls and plates, tables, chairs and benches, all of which can be played..." When he said this, Leon slightly turned his head and gave Prince Andre a gentle look, then made a mouth shape and silently added: 'Even his dead parents can be played. '
"..." Drawing him in was the biggest mistake! After personally experiencing Leon's terrifying aggressiveness, Prince Andre, who looked grim, clenched his fists as he watched Leon walk up to a guest and borrow a few small things from her. Then he lowered his head and walked through the guests, and found the queen who was watching the performance with interest. "Mother." After reaching out and pulling the queen's sleeve, Andre took a deep breath, trying his best to put on his original innocent and brilliant appearance, pointing at Filia, who was lying among the guests and fell asleep at some point, and begged: "My friend who invited me fell asleep because of tiredness. Can you ask someone to send her home?" "Okay." After looking in the direction of Filia, the queen lovingly touched Prince Andre's head, turned sideways and told the attendant a few words, and then said to the young prince: "I have asked someone to call Baggs to help you send your friend back... Come, Andre, sit in your mother's arms Come." After hugging the young boy Andre and holding him in her arms, the queen gently pinched Andre's soft earlobe and said softly: "That clown performed really well. I haven't seen such a good clown performance for a long time... Andre? I remember you like watching clowns perform tricks very much. You even wanted to be a clown yourself before. Why don't you watch it now?" "I..." Andre, who had just been severely punished by the "clown theory", now felt uncomfortable all over when he heard the word "clown", let alone going to watch the clown performance in Lyon. He wanted to escape from the "Royal Dinner" immediately. But he couldn't bear to leave the queen's warm embrace, and he didn't see Filia being sent out of the "Royal Dinner" with his own eyes. Prince Andre had to be patient and sit in the queen's arms like a real child to watch the performance. In the distance, Leon seemed to have really accepted his new job. He was wearing a pair of bright yellow big-toed leather shoes and walking with a funny pigeon-toed gait, showing the guests in the front row what he had in his hand. "Everyone, you have seen and touched it. This is indeed an apple, not a prop I brought." Following the gaze that was sharper than a knife, after finding the location of Prince Shota, Leon turned his face towards him and the queen without any trace, then made a nail mark on the peel with his fingers, and said with a smile: "Everyone, with this nail mark as proof, I'm going to do a very difficult trick next. I'm going to turn this apple into..." "Alas!" After hearing Lyon's announcement, all the guests present immediately cheered in cooperation: "It's boring!" "That's it?" "Is it difficult to turn an apple into nothing?" "Change it to another one! This one won't work!" "Everyone, please don't worry, this trick of mine is not just a rudimentary trick like turning an apple into nothing!" After raising his hand and pressing it down to signal everyone to keep quiet, Leon looked serious, rolled up his sleeves, and said mysteriously: "Those who make apples disappear usually hide them in their sleeves or cover them with their arms. But I will do it in front of you without covering up my hands. Not only will I make the apples disappear, I can even turn them into nothing." Become something else!" Not covering up or not? Can an apple be turned into something else?
Hearing Leon's secret, all the guests were immediately curious, and they held their breath unconsciously and stared closely at Leon's hands. "Everyone, I'm going to change!" After nodding solemnly to everyone around him, under the blank gazes of all the guests, Leon bit into the apple with the nail marks on it, gnawed it clean twice, and then puffed out his stuffed cheeks and picked up the apple. The fruit stalk at the top of the core circled around the field, and announced with unclear words but a proud face: "Look! I turned the apple into an apple core!" "..." "Oh! That's how it turned out!" "Alas!" "Ha ha ha ha!" "Nervous hahaha!" I don’t know if it was the [Colorful Clown] badge that played a role, or if I was really fooled by Leon’s cold joke. Looking at the proud clown, everyone except Prince Andre almost laughed like crazy. . However, just as everyone was laughing and hooting, Leon suddenly bent down with a groan, covered his mouth with a face full of pain, and shouted out loud: "Not good! Not good! This apple...this apple!" Could someone have poisoned me? Seeing that something had happened to the magician, the captain of the guard who was picking up Philiya as ordered and preparing to take her home was startled and hurriedly threw her back to the ground. He buried his head and was about to run back, but... "This apple...how did it grow back?" In the panic of all the guests, Leon's hands covering his mouth arched slightly, then he straightened up suddenly and spread his hands, and the apple whose core had just been eaten was lying intact in his palms , even on the peel, there are still the nail marks that were originally pressed out. "..." "..." "..." After a period of silence, the banquet, which was as quiet as strangled to death, suddenly erupted into an overwhelming applause. "Wow!!!!" "It's still the same apple?" "Wonderful! So wonderful! I have never seen such a powerful clown!" "Thank you, thank you, thank you for your compliments!" After bowing to the applauding and cheering guests, Leon said with a smile: "Actually, these are just small tricks of mine. If you really want to say he's really powerful, it has to be the senior clown named Andre. He can make things disappear, not just apples, but even living things, such as chickens, ducks, dogs, cats. Oh pigeons, even dishes and horses can disappear." Seeing Lyon mentioning himself again, although he didn't hear what the dish and horse were referring to, Prince Andre still couldn't help but trembled and glared at Lyon with murderous eyes. The surrounding guests were also aroused by Leon's praise and asked curiously:
"If that clown named Andre is so powerful, why didn't he come with you?" "That's a long story." Leon sighed when he heard this, and then said with sympathy: "To be honest with you, the most difficult part of our trick is not to make things disappear, but to make things disappear again. Although senior Andre learned the first half very well, this is the most important thing. He didn't understand the second half of it. One day, he didn’t know what was wrong with him, and he actually lost the most important thing about him, and then he couldn’t change it back, so he went a little crazy. As for what the most important thing is..." When he said this, Leon paused again, then turned his head and glanced at the livid-faced Prince Andre, showing a "you understand" smile. "..." kill you! I will definitely kill you when I step on my horse! ! !
