The Goddess Made A Mistake Again - Chapter 337: 337 - Veronica Nobliesse

Chapter 337: Chapter 337 – Veronica Nobliesse

I know.

Back then? …no I didn’t.

But does this make any changes? Massive ones.

But does this mean I will stop my advances… Brother, I haven’t even started yet.

But is trying to flirt with the ex-wife of the king and mother of the novel’s protagonist a good idea, especially when your already in a complicated relationship with the wife of the king… Absolutely not.

Still, that doesn’t mean I can’t at least try and fuck her. If someone is to blame, it’s her for being so fucking gorgeous.

The real question should be, why is this woman still alone?

There should be multiple fuck-buddies waiting around in line to fuck her, but there she stood, surrounded by masks with smiley faces and underneath they waited to tear out pieces of her.

Yet she prevails… she doesn’t have much power anymore but she still continues to fight.

That’s what got me really hard.

Veronica had a different smile on her as she looked at me. It was a mix of shock and real happiness. Not the half-lose one she showed to these people who didn’t even try to hide their fake looks.

“Excuse me, for a moment.” Veronica continued and said a few things as she excused herself. The horde of people easily making her a path directly to us, without any anger or jealousy at the interruption. Her control of the public was quite good.

What you would expect from a Former Queen.

Veronica golden blonde hair stood calmly as she walked with a noble aura surrounding her. The closer she came, the more regal she felt.

It wasn’t the type that people would feel anxiety at. Her whole stature felt blindingly pure and bright, one that you would like to get close to.

Unlike Abigail, where her oppressive and sharp aura made you feel like you were in front of a chopping block.

“It’s you!” She said, her honeyed voice coming out to a surprised yet excited shock.

“It seems you two know each other.” Waldo said as Veronica came before us.

Veronica smiled slightly, “You can say we met at an unfortunate time. But his presence turned it entirely blessed.”

“Well that’s quite a compliment. I wonder what might have happened?” Waldo tried to peek in for information.

But Veronica only gave me a few blinks of pure smile while I gave him a sharp gaze as he shut his mouth.

“Doesn’t matter.” Waldo says, “But it’s good that you two know each other, it would make this more pleasant.”

“Hmm” Veronica nodded, “Yes, but it would be nice if you introduced us again.” She said, not knowing Henry’s identity.

“Alright” He gestured to me, “This is Lord Henry Van Tax, a prominent friend who has helped our kingdom in a lot of ways in the past months. He was also recently entitled with the Viscount title by her majesty.”

Veronica’s face didn’t show any change to Abigail’s mention.

Waldo pointed to Veronica, “And this is Mrs. Veronica Nobliesse, a very renowned lady who has not only aided our kingdom in various ways regarding the poor and the orphaned children. But her organization ‘Help Our Future’ is participating in various ways to help the needed.”

“It is a wonder how far Mrs. Veronica has helped us. She is an angel in human form.” Waldo showed his disgusting smile.

“Thank you but I suppose you made me look too bright with your introduction, Lord Waldo.”

“Not at all, Madam.” Waldo said and brought me in the conversation, “Mr. Tax here wanted to talk to you about helping your organization.”

“Oh, is that so?” Veronica showed genuine curiosity and smiled, “That is most gracious of you.”

“Not at all, madam.” I give her a smile.

“Alright, since you already know each other, I will take my leave her.” Waldo said and patted me, “Take care, friend.”

That final part was in his way of saying ‘Don’t forget my part.’

I give him a knowing nod and turn to Veronica.

Both of us were now almost alone with nobody to disturb us.

I finally have her in front of me alone and take another good look at her. I think extremely quickly of how to interact with her. She was extremely beautiful but even sharper.

I can’t take her as any of the girls from before. She is in a situation like Abigail but unlike her, Veronica wasn’t here to flirt with me.

This is gonna be tough.

She is in an older and strong position then me and other than saving her, she doesn’t look at me as a equal to her. I need to change that. It would be arduously slow but I would have to work hard on her.

The opening topic needs to be something witty to show no awkwardness between us and then something that would pick her interest.

“Mr. Waldo wasn’t lying when he said you are exception. Seeing you, I felt absolutely absorbed in your aura, madam Veronica.”

Veronica lightly laughed and nodded, “Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Tax. You make me forget about my old age.”

“Old?… if anything it’s us younger ones surrounding you that feel a bit odd.” I quietly whispered as she laughed even brighter.

“You don’t have to compliment me so much. I am not that special.”

“Now that’s a lie. When I heard about your charity organization, I didn’t think much of it until I saw them in action myself.” Veronica’s ears perked up, “To think in our society filled with notorious people and fake smiles, there was actually someone who is willing to help the normal people. Thinking about that, I actually felt that I can finally use my money to do some real good for the people.”

“But you already are, Mr. Tax.” Veronica said, “You are helping them with money, equipment and other ways that I myself can’t do anything about.”

I snort at that as she looked confused, “We both know madam Veronica that’s not why I helped them.”

“It was only to get myself some name and connection. Some percentage of my involvement might have helped the general people but mostly it went in the pockets of those sitting at sweet spots.”

Veronica’s eyes widened hearing that. It wasn’t loud, but saying it at such an event was most notorious and would be extremely frowned upon.

She asked, “Even if some of that is true, wouldn’t you accept that not all of the nobles are like that, that some of them are virtuous?”

I nod, “I do, but with how far I have seen so far that hope is dwindling, But…”

She looked up, “Meeting you here has ignited that hope by a fair margin. Working with you would help me increase that even more.”

Veronica laughed again, “You’re thinking too highly of me. How do you know if I’m as same as them or tell them about you?”

“It isn’t just blind trust, you can say I have a slight intuition regarding people and can guess who’s what by a certain point.” I say and look at her, “And you madam, are the most bright person in this whole room… no, even the whole kingdom.”

“Oh my” She hid her mouth with one hand, “You’re making me blush, Mr. Tax. I don’t know how I can compare to that expectation.” Veronica wasn’t lying; she really did have a tint of blush hidden on her cheek.

“I’m sure you already have. Why don’t we talk about how I can be of help to you?” I say and start talking business.
